That brief kiss scene was okay I guess. The latest episode bought out the riddle from this show. Still, I found the riddle to be easy and already suspected about the birthday right when sensei went to celebrate. The brief back story relating to Suzu's friend also was a huge hint there. The ED song imo was decent though.

This is a group of the most half assed assassins I have ever seen. What possible reason is there for Suzu to play fair with her target? All she really had to do is set the bomb for 5 minutes after fitting and go order a drink. Yet she went and set up an elaborate puzzle that just like all of Batman's villains. And three tries no less.
I could have bitch-slapped Tokaku for falling for the super obvious red herring.
And I still find it eerily macabre that Haru walks around casually and cordially rubbing shoulders with girls eager to find out if they get to be entertained by seeing her head explode.

Maybe she noticed the same thing you did: that no one really wants to commit to actually killing her.

Episode 7
There can be only one!
The riddles were at least good. I knew that it would be too obvious to just use what the deck did not have, and the mention of proverbs and forest was a good one.
The scheme was a bit Riddler like in that there was no need to provide the answers, but she lived a long life, if they are killed if they fail then perhaps she decided it as Haru should live. The story was touching though.

It has been a long time since my last visit here. I am loving this anime. Loved the girls' ED songs. Episode 6 made me shed tears. Next week is very likely to be Mahiru/Shinya's turn. Cannot wait.

I feel bad for Clueless-Sensei.
Does anyone know if that facilitator chick is an assassin or not? If she is, then there are four assassins left. If not, there's only three.

She is indeed an assassin since the description of the show states there are 12 of them which would count her. I'd say it's very likely that she will be the final boss though since she hasn't shown any motivation to go after Haru herself yet.

Thankee for the confirmation. Yes, it seems to make sense that she'd be the FB.

I am still holding out that the one we all expect to not have killed anyone, is really an assassin and final boss in the whole scenario.. That would be an interesting twist, one that is reducing in liklihood after every episode.

Did anyone see the PV for this week's episode today? Looks like it is Isuke's turn.
I kind of disappointed, though. I was hoping for Banba to spring into action, at least we will see her spending quality time with Hanabusa.

Plenty of assassins left.
Haru is so gullible ^^"
The typhoon gave this episode a nice setting.
Looks like the remaining three are the stronger ones.
It was unusual to see Azuma run instead of taking her out.
This one needed some effort.
Nice they upped the game a bit.
Two at the same time, now that is a challenge.
Can't wait to see next episode!

Episode 8:
Tbh, I like Bamba's ED song quite a lot. I thought the episode would of seen more of her though fighting but I think we will see that next time because Inuke takes the stand against Azuma.
This should be kinda interesting considering the fact that Haru will be alone and fighting for her life next time.

This episode sure had me fooled.
Turns out this episode (and the next one) has Tokaku and Haru taking on two tough bosses, Isuke and Shin'ya. Both girls were great, especially Banba and her split personalities talking with each other. Love her ED. Her quality time with Hanabusa is sweet. It will be painful to see these three girls go, though.

This show has some girls in it with serious mental issues.

Episode 8
Isuke's adoptive father describes himself not only as an assassin, but a hitman, he wears an unassuming black suit with presumably plain red tie, has short leather gloves and uses a silenced pistol. They might as well have made him bold and throw on a barcode tattoo.
Those knuckle busters with an ejecting knife were pretty cool, I feel like I have seem it in something. Plus the whole absurdity of the hammer worked too.
