I'm pretty sure you don't get to say spoiler["I can't go further than a kiss on the forehead" after... you know... licking her. Or nibbling her ear. I'm pretty sure both of those are further along.] That said, the kind of weird, perverted/innocent thing is what the show does best, so I'm glad to see it again.

Episode 9

I felt two points of dread during spoiler[their intimacy: I was worried someone was going to come in and interrupt it just at the critical moment, as is usual, and when he went in for the kiss, all I could think was, "please don't lick her, oh please don't lick her.." But yeah, the ear was definitely further along than her forehead. Smile]

@Yttrbio: Point taken, but for me at least,spoiler[ a kiss is much more intimate than what he was doing], so I'll cut him some slack on that.

So much creepy-cute in one episode I thought I'd melt. Please do more of this and less of awkwardly color-hued boring fight scenes. Pretty please.

I'm probably the only one who felt sad that spoiler[Seigi died. Even if he was a twisted asshole, it broke my heart to see the police-girl crying for him. It was part of another creepy-cute romance that I wanted to see more of]

Um....I felt the same way. D:

KIRI, YOU CAN DO ALL OF THAT spoiler[BUT YOU WON'T KISS HER!?] Twisted Evil

But this is not the first time I have seen male characters act this way.
.............do the Japanese think spoiler[licking/nibbling] is less erotic or something? o_O

Oh well, I should be grateful that spoiler[they didn't wait til the final episode for a love confession] like many series do. Everything is out in the open now!

There's a difference between eroticism and intimacy. spoiler[When he's nibbling her ear, licking her hair or neck, or even kissing her forehead, he's the actor, she's the passive recipient of his actions, and there's nothing for her to do but react or not (well, there are things she could do, but she wasn't doing them and wasn't about to). But if they kiss, it becomes a joint endeavor, and she can kiss him back. I think he feared he would completely lose control if she kissed him.]

Episode 9

spoiler[Licking] fetish! Wait, did we have that already? Perhaps just settle on spoiler[the ear biting], I know that was new.

Too bad spoiler[Rulebook is dead, I kind of liked the guy]. Although he was a bit of an spoiler[asshole in trying to kill Kiri, his last words seemed to be trying to fight his guilt of Kiri being worried] about him.

By the way, we did get an answer on the censorship. I initially thought they were going for a "different hue when the magical killing tools get to work" thing, but this episode makes it clear that it was, in fact, a censorship tool.

So, does anyone think the show will have the balls to kill a female character?

that's a shame, I kinda liked Shark Mouth. good episode though, and I did feel sorry for the Policewoman, and somehow I had a bit of sand in my eye during that scene.

She just needs someone new to strangle her; I don't think she'd have to look long.

@DuskyPredator I anticipate the bombardment of women saying they love fantasizing about being choked. Did you read the thread that had several admissions about fantasizing about being raped?
