yeah now i cant wait for the next episode
lol

I already expect the change of tone, but I will never guess that we would see the cafe selling shit-like parfait lmaooo

That episode was so good but why did you have to end with that cliffhanger, staff of this anime said on their twitter that episode 9 is going to be really bad(serious) even before episode 8 started airing.

Did Majima write the story for this anime? Dark plot twists with wholesome cute moments Balanced as all things should be

The small takina faces during transition was so adorable.

Majima apparently has too good of hearing sense like damn that was scary but so was Chisato dodging that fast ass bullet he shot at her.
The action sequence of Chisato sprinting during the radio tower incident was really cool also the way she went swoosh and appeared infront Majima's companion was badass

Get that fake nurse Takina, you gotta save chisato.

Next episode cant come any sooner, also Character designer imigimuru-sensei's comment on this episode was hilarious.

that chisato thigh shot was CRAZY

I was scared that they would try to kill Chisato but Factory Reset sounds more right
And it looks like this is not the first time she got rebooted, as she doesn't remember nothing of the Radio Tower, but Majima and the other Lycoris does

AYO NOOO tf they doin' to Chisato. Why did they end the ep with that cliffhanger.......

First half of the ep was pretty wholesome. Didn't expect to see Chisato casually hangin out with Majima. Wonder what they were doin' with Chisato at the end of the episode. It doesn't seem like they're takin her heart out but rather sending high voltages into it, reprogramming it or smt?

Otherwise the action in this ep was amazing and we also got to know more about Majima's talent, which has something to do with highly enhanced hearing

All of this also makes me wonder what role Majima is gonna play moving forward, cuz i'm pretty damn sure he won't be on Alan's side.

The cliffhanger this ep was painful so it's gonna be a lot of suffering to wait for next weeks ep.

lmao can we also talk about how they just casually inserted the ED song while they're fuckin Chisato's heart up. Totally opposite vibes but smt about it made it work well

Also one more important thing worth mentioning. During the LycoReco radio, Chika Anzai (Chisato's VA) mentioned how her fav ep is ep 9 and then after that the chara designer tweeted this:

So kinda concerned for what's to come...

rip chisato

Mr Yoshimatsu wants the arc reactor back i guess

Takina in halloween costume while handing out gits to children - kawaii.

Kurumi getting a karate chop to the neck. lol

also did not expect Majima to visit Chisato apartment. They have a talk about the past.. Chisato looks so different during the tower incident.

I hope Takina can rescue Chisato in time.

looking forward to next week!

I covered my mouth when I saw the ending coz I was about to scream "FUCKKKKK"

They really put us on that BRUTAL cliffhanger

i dont want anything to happen to chisato... why does it need to end likee this i want ep 9 RIGHT NOW

Superb balance and contrast, between SOL and heavy plot.

• Yoshi said : "Chisato must stop playing house", then scene transition to comfy SOL scene at LycoReco cafe. What a contrast.
• Chisato's phone is ringing with cutesy song, while she's under Majima's gun point. Tense scene with funny BGM. What a contrast.
• I cant believe Chisato & Majima now is acting buddy buddy, complete with comfy session discussing their favourite movies while drinking coffee, even though they're trying to kill each other before. What a contrast.

Now, theory time :

• What's the purpose of Majima's visit to Chisato's house? To know her better? Gain new allies? At least, now he had taken a liking to Chisato, since they are "similar" in term of prioritizing their own personal freedom, not being controlled by Alan or DA.
• Majima is aware that Alan is somewhat evil. Is he somewhat lesser evil than Alan or what? Now what is his goal afterall. Remember that Majima and his gang got their weapon from Alan, during ep 1 transaction. Remember that during Majima v Chisato episode, Robota (a covert Alan's underling) is trying so hard to make Majima "interested" with Chisato, which is quite a success right now. Sure, Majima maybe prioritize his own freedom, but did he even realize that he's currently being secretly controlled by Alan?
• What about Yoshi's plan? He explicitly stated that "Chisato must stop playing house (at LycoReco Cafe)". But he ordered her assistant to "be gentle" when handling Chisato, which is so far so good (she even prevented Chisato's fall when she's being incapacitated after the injection shot).
• The biggest mystery here is : Alan's true goal (i believe, both Chisato and Majima must be really needed in achieving their goal) , DA's backstory and bigger plan (already mentioned briefly during ep 1, when Kusunoki is discussing with her assistant regarding how to report the mission's failure to their higher up. And yes, opening LycoReco cafe branch is part of their big plan. And yes, sending Takina to LycoReco cafe is also part of their big plan), the relationship between Alan & DA (how come Alan's operative could do that to Chisato, right inside the DA's branch), what is Chisato's promise to Yoshi, what is Mika's promise to Yoshi. We still need more information.
• In short : Alan and DA is probably the big bad, each having their own delicate long term plan. Majima, Chisato, Takina, LycoReco staffs, DA staffs, Lycoris girls are just Alan/DA ' s pawn. Can these pawns realize what's the bigger picture around them and start emerging as a third party to balance (and fight) Alan/DA's power? There are several potential individual that actually can do this : Walnut (as an individual, already trying to sniff out Alan agency alone since first episode), Majima (he's already know that Alan is bad), Mika & Mizuki (they are really tired of DA's wrongdoings), Chisato (Already openly lash out her commander at DA.)

oh NO

Uh oh what happened with Chisato at the end cant be good. What are they doing with her artificial heart?
This might be a stretch but i have feeling that Chisato might be killed off since episode 9 is supposed to be really dark. Probably not just a guess

On a light hearted note this was funny

I didn't know she tunred into Jason Statham.

I hope this is just some recharging a la Crank, but I feel like it's something more serious.

The turd parfait got me good

The parfait stuff was absolutely hilarious, but that damn ending is making me want to tear my hair out. I seriously don't know how I'll last till next Saturday.

based die hard references

I like how we got a shit-looking parfait and a cliffhanger in one episode

one of my favorite anime this season

This shit gon be crazy

I really wonder if this show is ever going to be about Lycoris and its cast overall or keep orbitating around Chisato.

At this point the plot is more mediocre than I expected. Everything is about Chisato and Alan and single important event or plot point is about her. Jesuschrist, I loved her during three first episodes, but this is getting annoying. Now I preffer Takina, whose evolution was actually well written and made her super likeable and practical. But she has no job in the plot, since each time it moves on Takina finds a way to get out of scene. Every character ends up talking about her or gets reduced to a gag.

Initially I thought Chisato's moments carried the show. But now due the plot being so dull I highly preffer Takina's moments. What a serious lack of balance for a show which had so nice first three episodes.

Really, what a wasted potential.

Chisato can strangle me with these thighs, I won't mind...

This episode is wow... just WOW. That cliffhanger is actually brutal, cute moments ended off with a possibly dark ending huh...

Maybe we will get something like Kill la Kill's episodes 20-21

BUT, if something bad happens with Chisato i expect a Gon level rage by Takina.

One thing i feel with this show is it has a few too many elements going on at once, like you have the cafe story, the Majima plot, the Alan insititute stuff with Chisato, Mika and Jin, the rivalry with the DA girls, the two policemen suspecious as why they're being kept out investigations etc etc.

However, still enjoying it, decent episode, we did at least get to see Majima being a bit more human. Interesting ending to say the least.
Also Chisato in the halloween outfit so cute.

omg wtf was that cliffhanger.... completely shocked, wtf

best girl gets overclocked

The ED hits differently now

half of the fanservice episode dispensable, at most the thighs could have stayed, but it was less than 1 minute
ok epi, I hope she kills them all and then explodes from overload since she is a robot :D
and waiting for the joker without makeup to kill them all

mine is ANIMATED!: (no patsu, what a shame...)

Looking at the new Key Visual i started to speculate some things in the story:

-Chisato and Takina will probably fight each other, and Takina knows Chisato's weak spot (the eyes, as she said in Ep. 6)

-Alan Institute has a avant-garde technology, and chooses people with a special (or supernatural lol) talent but with something in need to make their subordinates, in the flashback Majima is blind but oriented himself using his super hearing, but now he has eyes, that probably are some advance tech just like Chisato's artificial heart

-It looks like Alan and DA are connected somehow, but it doesn't make sense why Alan wants assassins and terrorists attacking Japan while DA makes the inverse

-Mika, Shinji and Jin are also connected, but until this point nothing major was revealed, however something happens that turned Mika from an assassin (as stated by Shinji) to a chill and caring person
