Debito and Jolly are such badasses :>. Well, it does seems that Jolly isn't the one that everyone likes this time around.

Anyways, just so-so episode.

Yusa-san's character... he was with the mysterious boy during rainy day? Revealing of shocking truth about his experiments on the threesomes. Also, the mysterious boy was "Homongulus"?

Biased opinion ahead.
As expected - episode focused on Debito = instant awesome. Every other character is more interesting than Liberta and Nova, it just happened that this time the spotlight was stolen by the best one in the entire show.

Debito should really keep his hair down as well as the eye patch off, looks better. Shocked


I like where the plot is going even if it became more intense and mysteryious, hopefully all feelings can be resolved

Cool episode! Wants more!!
Had some funny parts like the cleaning around the church...that is, before Jolly came.
Elmo a homunculus? Well I thought he was a product of Jolly's researches but didn't think of him as a homunculus. And it felt really bad when Jolly told Felicitá that Pace, Debito and Luca are being used as contractors to the Arcana by Jolly. I wonder if Dante had known about this because he stopped Nova and Libertá from interfering and didn't look surprised.
That Pace vs Jolly was kind of a short battle.
No punishment this time? T.T And why Jolly never gets punished?? I wanna see this.

Not my favorite episode....

I knew it! Elmo wasn't human after all. (Yeah reminds me of FMA as well)

Is the next episode gonna be focused on the Duello? That'd be interesting!

Is it just me or the "punishment filler" thing at the end wasn't there?

I liked episode 8 because mainly Debito is my fav character... And /lol/ looks like I wasn't the only one thinking it's kinda turning into FMA. Before you know it, that story about that monster story Debito told would actually relate to the 3 of them, that kid and Jolly...

Idk, this anime is still lacking something but i still continue to watch this series maybe because im expecting something big and WOW later...

Not really my favourite episode, but still I really enjoyed this one.
When Elmo mentioned something about Jolly's alchemy books, I knew instantly that he wasn't a real human (homunculus > alchemy). Yes, I blame that on FMA.

Anyway, Pace, Luca, Debito, and Jolly all seem very interesting together.

And was the Duello mentioned in the preview at some point?

I don't see how the fact homunculi are involved makes it similar to Full Metal Alchemist. It's not as if that show invented the concept.


To anyone who's seen FMA, when you hear homunculus what's the first thing you think of? Its not like it's something common in anime either so it's only obvious that people would connect it with FMA. Though these are the only similarities that these two have.

The idea of a homunculus existed way before FMA's manga even began. It's been told in myths for hundreds of years.

This is probably the first episode in this anime I truly enjoyed (first ep was too cliche for me). I really liked that we learn more about Jolly and his relationship with other family members (if they can be called a family). Maybe Papa told Jolly to play a semi-villainous character to make duellos more... uh... passionate? He looks like the type to be able to do anything for his superiors.

Debito reminded me of Zero both with his looks with his hair down and way of acting. I don't like him... a lot. Actually, I like Jolly a lot more. Heck, Jolly, Luca and Nova are he only reasons I'm still watching this.

(Minor FMA spoilers ahead, comparison of this homunculus and homunculi in FMA.)


(short spoiler free version)
In short, while this anime has a real and perfect homunculus, FMA NEVER had a real homunculus. FMA only used the term to describe artificial beings that had human looks to a degree. (Of course, I'm talking about manga and FMAB. In FMA anime they were zombies.)

...and she speaks! This is the episode where Felicita has spoken the most, thus far. I don't get why people don't like her lack of talking. Some might complain that talkative characters are annoying, and then they say that Felicita doesn't speak is bland. MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Honestly, I find characters like Felicita who doesn't speak much but can actually kick butt quite nice.

Homunculus are often mentioned in mythology. It's not like the show itself is stealing ideas from FMA, but more or less drawing inspiration from pre-existing mythology as well as philosophy, and obviously alchemy. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/homunculus

Jolly is such an annoying character and Felicita is even worse for defending him, why are all those shoujo heroines so set on believing that everyone is good and has a pure heart and shit like that? Jolly is a mad scientist who expertimented on 3 family members and created a homunculus, of course he'd be a real sweetheart and innocent person deep down >.>

Ok, this was the best episode yet, I just can't get enough of this anime at this point. And Jolly.. man, he's my favorite character for sure! closely followed by Dante and then Liberta.

And the ED is surely one of the best ever!

I'm hit with more chibi versions of the boys. Cute af.

Stupid Fel. Nova and Liberta sugarcoated her. Of course it's her damn fault =____= stop tryna force people to get along when you know nothing about their past. Some people aren't meant to be friendly with each other so leave them be.
