First...the animation was really bad. Again. Shiki only looked good because he was cloaked in the darkness.

Keisuke creepin' around yay!

I need subs/summary to fully understand everything :v But I'm wondering where this is all heading because all the opened up game paths.

The big question for next ep is:

This episode was very... eventful I should say XD
I didn't expect the Rin & Shiki fight... well, it was more like Shiki beating Rin up with that sword of his, which I liked (I'm such a sadist) *evil laugh*

So... what will happen now? I'm excited to see what will happen!

Also, I feel Arbitro becomes more of a furry in my eyes every time I see him. Those scenes man, I just can't unsee them!

How long is this series expected to be, those who have played the game? Will this continue on through the winter and be 24+ episodes?

I don't think it will be end with 24+ episode, the story pace are going more and more fast, on the worst case scenario it might be end with 13 episode prolly.

At any rate, I just loved how they spice some events from different route then slap them off one episode.

Shiki fight, woo~
Too bad Rin is still alive.
I can't be the only one annoyed as hell by Rin. :I
Anyway, I'm glad the subs came out the same day as the release. Good timing there.
Pleasant episode. As mentioned before, the animation went a little down...again...but hey, Shiki looked good and that's all that matters.
Keisuke doing the intestine dance was pretty fun too.
Hopefully they'll follow the Shiki path a little more in the future.
Also; I found this frame particularly hilarious.

i really hope this doesnt turn into a keisuke/akira end.. tho it doesnt sound good that akira is now determined to save him when he's never really seemed to care much before... also still hopin for shikinappping.
poor rin i thought he was goner when he hit that pipe but yay he lives to throws knives another day.. i did figure him and shiki were brothers so nice to have that confrime.
also pleased Akira appears to be actually doing someting now.. he's been a bit lifeless for a couple o eps. the bit with arbitro ws hilarious!

Well I'll be damned. They actually found a way to write in the happy intestine scene. Other than that it was a good episode as far as this show is concerned. Things are picking up and are interesting now, but heavily bogged down by how incredibly shitty the Rin vs Shiki fight was.

Ugh. I don't wanna seem like a hater, but I hope this Keisuke thing doesn't last too long, it's getting annoying already.

Besides that, yayyy! We found out things about Akira's past, Rin/Shiki's relationship, and some of Motomi's past (he had a kid?).

When Rin was about to fall from the cliff, I totally thought Shiki would catch him. Haha, quite the opposite.

So what Keisuke and Akira were both guinea pigs for some project, mmm interesting. I guess no one taught Akira not to trust blond guy wearing mask. Anyway crazy Keisuke is way more interesting than the timid self.

Oh so he does care about Keisuke what a surprise?!

I wonder if Shiki had a reason for killing his little brother's friend? Or was he acting like an asshole like usual and did it just because he feels like it?

Last thing I do like the new and improve Keisuke.

I wasn't surprised about the revealing of Shiki and Rin's "relationship". That's some weird form of brotherly love right there.

Eh may I ask, where was censorship in this episode? There was nothing to censor or did I just missed something huge? :O

Omg they're half brothers? o.O" *shocked* Well I didn't saw that one coming :P I hope Akira will find a way to help Keisuke (and that he'll beat him next episode) ^^

And am I really the only one who thought this episode had better animation that the last one? I liked their movements a lot more, compared to the last episode? Or is it just me who thinks that? xD

Holy crap, I feel like we should of learned a little of this a bit earlier. We learn that Shiki has a litter brother, the whole research project, and the connection between the two old men. We even learn the information broker has some sort of trauma with his family (obviously his kid didn’t explode…right?)

This was the first episode I felt engaged in this show. Bravo. (Good 7/10)

P.S. that takedown by shiki was weird, but hilarious.

Yeah, this happened during the episode. Akira was thinking about Keisuke and then that scene showed up. It was when he was with Motomi and he was saying that he might be able to save him with his blood. I loved that scene so much xD

Wow didn't expect to see that Shiki and Rin are brothers. I hope they will tell us why did Shiki killed Rin's friend, because untill now he looks to me like a heartless killer.
Next week is about Keisuke and it looks like he's gonna die.

Okay, so it seems like in the previous episode Keisuke left to get some more of that sh*t. Naturally, since anime version of him wasn't allowed to rape Akira.

Lol censor :P
Anyways, looks like more of an explanation episode to me. Music is cool as always, ED was OK too
Rin and Shiki are brothers?! Woah, did not expect that coming O_O Fight was really lame though ... -_-" I hope this gets explained more
OK, so people with Line react to Akira's blood, sure. Except it happens in like 2 seconds. Uhm, doesn't it take HOURS to digest something? Not to mention they LICKED like A FEW DROPS of it, it's not like they were DRINKING IT UP or something ... WTF? Plot holes or what? O_O
Also, what's with Akira going "awww I miss him now! Boo hoo!" ... seriously?! Not cool -_-" Most definitely DO NOT SHIP them together >_< Maybe Keisuke will die? :D ... Except somehow I doubt that'll happen
Well, I hope at least the fight will be entertaining next episode

LOL THIS IS SO BAD.

Akira stupidly going to see Arbitro, then being surprised at it being a trap was pretty bad but not as bad as Keisuke turning up at the abandoned shack all "Akira?" thinking he would still be there. What.

The high level of exposition in this episode was just so annoying. Add that to the horrible characterisation, bad art/animation, excessive use of "arty" camera angles, etc. etc... This show really has nothing going for it. Trainwreck indeed.

Lmao forever @ Rin all "Shiki!" and pop, there he is. The stupid revelation, also with crazy exposition ("my brother -- btw we have different mothers"), only made the whole scenario worse. I laughed so hard when Shiki hit him and Rin went flying, mouth wide open, in a cartwheel of camera angles.

Akira's 180 on his relationship with Keisuke was badly written/portrayed. When will he go back to being the badass he was in the first ep? Or is Keisuke too seme for him now?

Honestly, I don't know how this show can get worse but it surprises me every ep in that it finds new ways to suck. Props for that...?

I loved the episode... sure there were some parts where I just wanted to chuck my computer because the animation was so bad... but it was really entertaining. xD

The Shiki and Rin fight made me laugh... but I have to admit, I do feel sorry for Rin not being able to fight back so easily. Ah, I sure do hope they show a reason why Shiki did what he did... But if they don't, that's fine. I love the heartless ones. <3

I really hope Keisuke dies. xD Phaha I never liked him from the beginning; sure he was like a cute lost puppy, but he was really starting to get annoying... and when he ended up taking the Line I was actually like, "Woah man, now you've done it."

I also agree with the *ahem* Shikinapping. Oh my heck. I would love it if they ended up having Shiki x Akira in the end... I love them together. <3 <3

Awesome episode. I knew somewhat Akira was atest subject (not that his blood had all those abilities *coughifyouknowwhatImeancough*) I was probably the only one who didn't notice. I nearly fell out of my chair when Rin called Shiki brother. I was like WHAT?!
Of course now it makes sense why Rin had Shiki's picture with him. I can't wait to see what happens next.
