| I'll write this in english this time to see what others think. As always, THIS EPISODE GAVE A LOT MORE ANSWERS THAN PEOPLE REALIZE. Well, yes, these "answers" may be revealed to be a bit wrong in the future, but on a surface level we got them. For example, once again this episode almost confirmed that Robin shot Kiriko. But as tradition, another question, why? And why on that specific moment when Haruki was dying in her arms? Other thing is that ways, Robin and Kiriko where having sex back them. Robin probably didn't needed to force anything, he just "normally" seduced Kiriko and she liked him enough to accept his advances. This is proved by Kiruko realizing that he has some memories of his sister (this don't need explanation, is a thing that is how it is, Kiriko body has memories and Haruki can remember them) when he remember one time when they had sex in their room while Haruki was asleep. From what I know from Robin it's just like like him, fucking the kids beloved sister just besides him. And this leads to other thing, Kiruko was probably being influenced by Kiriko's feeling for Robin this whole time, and this means that Haruki is not Haruki anymore, he died, Kiruko is his real identity. It's not just Haruki on Kiriko's body, it's a mix of the two. The memories and feelings of a person are part of what a person is, so Kiruko like Maru said is who he is is, not one or the other, it's a new person. |

Mcfeeley said: 37 chapters out of 55 it seems. If they announce S2, it will be the same long wait as with Made in Abyss. At least the author seems to be more consitent.gawed said: a great anime and no season 2 immediate announcement :( I hate it when that happens. this one deserves several seasons indeed. The problem I think is the manga isn’t completed enough for a full second season. From what it sounds like, this ended around Ch 31 but the manga is only around ch 50 something. |

| this was a really good anime I want to know about this world most of the mysteries haven't been solved yet the post-credit scene is kind of a cliffhanger hopefully, we get a season 2 solid 9/10 for this season |
 |
| Maru should have broken that human trash's legs. I really hope we get to see a terrible fate for Robin. |
| Welp... time to read the manga |
 |
| Was expecting to not really get a full conclusion in this episode, but I still thought it was decent. We definitely got some answers, with the button Mimihime gave to Shiro, unless I'm thinking of someone else. Scene with Maru breaking in to the building could have been a little longer, seemed to sort of just happen then they left. Overall I'd say this is a very interesting series, so much so that I do plan on reading the manga. |

| @PaninaManina For example, once again this episode almost confirmed that Robin shot Kiriko. My best guess is Kiriko was having sex with Robin so Robin would watch over Haruki (hence why this scumbag yelled at Haruki when he went to hunt a man-eater with a crossbow). When Robin saw that Haruki was half-eaten and destined to die, he decided to shoot Kiriko to silence her. Makes sense. Kiriko would no longer let Robin use her, plus there was a possibility she would tell others how Robin wasn't some noble defender of orphanage, but instead a POS exploiting the girl for sex... Since a man-eater was present in the area, people didn't care about Kiriko's gun-shot wound and likely were all concentrating on the monster's whereabouts. In other words, Robin used the chaos to get away with murder.But as tradition, another question, why? And why on that specific moment when Haruki was dying in her arms? |

| Since they brought such a heavy topic to this show and made it last *two days* of suffering for Haruki, I wish they'd talk about it. Haruki just brushing it off later and saying "I can't feel bad forever" was not the way to go... If they were going to do that, there was no need to make this level of suffering for Haruki. They could show that Robin was an asshole any other way, make Maru show up before he could do anything and stuff like that. Anyway, aside from that, a great show. The soundtrack playing in the moment with Mimihime and Shiro............. ugh. Almost made me cry again. |

| ita crazy that even after so many years of watching anime , i can get so freaking blindsided by a show that i actually feel betrayed as a viewer. before the last episode this show has been my top one this season , last episode triggered me so badly i went to read the manga and realized its worse, Despite my trauma , i was hoping to feel better after the last episode , but no . yeah, we love when men write about sexual assault and an episode later : "we had a good talk by the lake now im over it" glad to know i can get gaslight not only by the men in my life but from mangakas. [also before you lots comment about the men grape camp arc , it's not about the gender of whos assaulted its it being the main character we got attached to and the fact it was extremely sudden and mentally demanding , so i don't wanna hear about "double standard" bs ] final score: 7.5/10 , death by mangaka gaslight |
| 2 days long rape scene/episode segways into the happy go lucky "adventure continues" closing scene. That's some great writing and understanding of the aftermaths of sexual assault. So in the end it was just for shock value / fetish fuel |

Yes, it's possible that Kiriko would give in to Robin for Haruki's safe, and doesn't necessarily via extortion, but because she could feel "safe" with Robin protecting the two. I looked episode 3 again and look, not only there's the image of Haruki sleeping but also two adult hands joined:  This series AND direction is really excelente, it's all very well thought, so it doesn't need to explain, just tell the story and let the viewers to realize things by themselves. |

lipeeefl said: Robin is a pretty mysterious and interesting character.For the one singular person in MAL who has Robin listed as one of their favorite characters: you are sick and shouldn't be allowed in society He obviously knew Usami. He seems to experience about man-eaters since he was probably responsible of the woman linked to a man-eater. His reactions when he saw Maru show that I was probably already aware of how much Maru was strong. Otherwise, he would not have tried to flee whn confronted with a 15-years old boy. He could have been told by Kiruko but I can't really imagine Kiruko talking about Maru that much. So I believe he's much more involved and for a long time with Hirukos that we might think. |
| wTf m4n i N3Ed M0rEE!!! like bro what happens to the kids at the facilityyy and will they find heavenn or nottttt i need season 2 n0W! 10/10 |
 |
| im still confused lol |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| The children from the big house decide to explore further into the forest. Mimihime & Shiro decide to head back and tell the others. Meanwhile the doctor goes berserk because he doesn't know which baby Tokio's is, but they finally figured it out. Maru wakes up and notices that Kiruko isn't back still so he begins to worry. He decides to head to the plant or however you call it and man tosses the 2 security guards into the water and beats the shit out of the other 2 security guards. It was actually saddening to see Kiruko all tied up in that bed, Robin is such a freak. Kiruko begins to feel memories of himself? I guess. Kiruko calls out for Maru and Maru comes to the rescue but at moment Robin also comes walking down the hallway. Maru looks him dead in the eyes and Robin decides to take a flee and runs towards a door but he struggles to get the keys into the door and Maru is standing there ready to beat the hell out of him. This guy Robin tries to escape but he is trapped like a piece of dogshit he is, he deserved that beating so badly from Maru. The doctor finds Tokio and gives the baby to him but the director also comes and wants to take baby but Tokio throws a transformation, wtf?. Mimihime & Shiro find a river and Mimihime is about to fall but Shiro comes to the rescue and confesses his feelings to Mimihime. I can't believe Kiruko actually pleaded Maru to stop beating Robin, bruh. Maru confesses his feelings to Kiruko yet again, she did run towards him but still no answer i suppose? Kiruko rips apart the picture she's been keeping and throws it into the water and they decide their destination is still heaven but they don't realize that the whole building is badly damaged. Some people found out what Robin was scheming and its utterly disgusting. There's one scene of the picture of a girl from what Kiruko ripped apart and the next scene is a boat heading towards a big city, could the sister be amongst the other kids? who knows. I hope for a season 2. This was a nice ending.  |

Finally someone also noticed this... There are always people who write the entire recap of episode for all the airing anime like wtf? People who are in the newest episode discussion have seen the fucking episode, no need to write what everyone has watched. |

| Just my cents about the rape and people complaining about lacking of consequences or that Kiruko was seemly unnafected by it. I disagree with this a bit, first for the obvious fact that the story was interrupted, we'll probably see the consequences and Kiruko dealing with what happened later. It's a bit too much to ask for a rape victim to immediately sit down and talk and have therapy immediately after the fact, don't you think? But in fact Kiruko was heavily affected bit it. It's not that "it happened during too days and almost didn't seem to care", it's actually "because it cared so much that it happened during two days". Like I commented during the last episode, it was the psychological part that was the heaviest part and the hardest to Kiruko. Didn't you all watched the scene with Kiruko on the bed? What was he thinking during that scene? About his identity. The way Robin mindfucked him was so effective that thinking about who he was and if he was himself was all he could do. That is the consequence, if Robin had only hurt him physically don't you think he would have reacted and tried to flee in the first oportunity. Even the scene with Maru later was a bit of the consequences. Kiruko was listening to what he was saying until Maru started talking that he wasn't Haruki anymore, at that point he interrupted him. Maybe it's not enough, but again the story was interrupted, the episode didn't even had the time to show the four kids escaping the Academy and going to civilization, it had to skip and show a little glimpse of Shiro, Mimihime, Taka and Anzu already on the boat approaching the city. Sometimes it happens, there's not enough time. And still, I agree as much as everyone against using rape to advance a story and character, but with the circumstances involving Kiruko it "was almost bound to happen" eventually. At least the anime focused on the "important" psychological/identity part. |
|
| Anyone have any theories about what attacked the Academy, if the AI was responsible or not? When the Director ordered Miima to get Tokio's baby I thought that was the moment when the robot would refuse and would be confirmed that the AI went rouge, but didn't happened. It was all only sabotage but the staff involved on the "Noe Project" or the AI really acted on it's own sometimes? What about the "test" anyway? It really seemed like it was something the AI made up and wanted the children to do with no involvement of the staff. But I have a feeling that Shiro and Mimihime "passed the test". |

| Leaves you with more questions than answers. Just the way I like it. Will be hoping for a season 2 or part 2 or whatever announcement soon. Best visuals of the season, most interesting premise, and coolest characters. Give me more. 8.4/10 |

Fifitamboril said: a good anime with a rather sad/incomplete ending. Too many questions, no answers at all and a very degrading way of “dealing” with rape. no one just goes “the show must go one”, no darling, you were raped, please scream, please cry, please give yourself some time to heal. Maru was more scared than Hiruko. Until the rape part, one of the best animes of the season, after the rape scene and the way the brushed it over, downgraded at least two points in my books. If only this was the only way people reacted to this type of violence, there would't be so many silent victims in the world. |
|
| So guy just a cuckold, pff |
| The romance in this show has me so confused and yet I like it. lmao. This show was very bingeable from the first episode, and I caught up just in time for the last episode to air. This was definitely among my favorites this season. I really hope it gets a season 2. |
| Robin definitely deserved that beating from Maru, he's lucky to still be alive. Not the most cheerful finale, but the journey to Heaven continues. Overall, I very much enjoyed this adaptation as a solid 9/10, and I'll probably catch up with the manga (stopped around this point) now that it's over. It's a shame that S2 will likely be a few years away with it only releasing chapters monthly though. |
