(L+CR) Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge (The Severing Crime Edge)

[Megacrash Gr]

Damn I liked Seiji, he was my favorite character from the other nutjobs .

I'm having these weird thought
about Kiri, Iwai and Iwai's hair in a weird BDSM fashion

Anyway those two are sweet together as they wrap up an awesome episode.

Spoiler for Episode 10:

This episode is the perfection. I'm not a fan of sexualized toddler-like lolis (but I didn't mind them if they look like elementary schoolers, such in the case of Iwai in this anime) but Emily is such a badass. She likes sharper blades and kill over everything, and the battle between her and Kiri was one of the best fight scenes of the show because the animation was top class. I didn't expect that she was the enemy, and she always follows under the seat of the evil blonde princess. Too bad Kiri got a serious injury, but given how Yamane is good at infection technique, she'll heal him in the next episode, but knowing how the last three episodes were left, I'll get ready for a major climax.

[Kakkou]

Oh wow, the ugly color filters only appeared for a few short times and otherwise left the fight scene alone, which is great because the fight scene itself was actually good and lasted longer than a few seconds for once. This sort of battle between wielders of indestructible everyday objects was what I hoped from the show's action scenes the first place, not magical noose summoning books or mind control horse whips. I like it!

[Dawnstorm]

When I saw Emily in the preview last week, I thought we'd get to know more about Yamane, mostly because someone at that age with killing goods could maybe serve as a trigger for her own issues. Seems I'll have to wait until next week.

Interesting, that Emiliy's killing goods are "made". Someone trying to use curses to strengthen weapons? How do you fabricate curses? (I always thought that, in Japanese folklore, cursed objects have acquired the intense feelings of the user via prolonged use.)

Wow Emily got some moves but scary when she using those knifes

One option would killing using the same tool until the curse happens. Something like killing 1000 demons to be a demon.

No kidding. I wonder how will Kiri handle this?

Spoiler for Episode 11:

This is the beginning of the end for this show. Emily puts her own piece of flashback, revealing that she was supposed to be poor and suffers hungry. Meanwhile, Kiri's arm injury gets a lot worse: his bath time is covered with blood for some reasons, but is saved by Yamane so she can heal him using her powerful injection tool. The sunbeam censorship really killed the scene though, it's understandable for overly strong scenes like bordeline sex or excessiveness of gore, but here it doesn't look like one, there's some blood but I can live it without the censorship. I miss after-ending scenes a lot since they aren't much here recently, but look at the beautiful sequence of Emily dancing in a ballet style that surrounds the flowers like a party. Next episode looks like it might go for an anime-original ending and Kiri going berserk because of something might make up for some nice final scenes.

[Dawnstorm]

Heh, it took me long enough to notice, but considering this latest episode...

"Byouin" means hospital, doesn't it? Sort of fitting killing goods for Byouinzaka, no? Makes me wonder if I've missed other things about the naming in the show. Heh.

[Guardian Enzo]

Well, Kiri means "cut" for starters. Yes, the casting is peppered with significant names.

Fascinating! It's little things like that that make me wish I knew the Japanese language.

[blitz1/2]

Emily, how does it feel to have Kirei for a dad.

Just like the Emily scene in the previous episode, this scene will be uncensored on the BD. It's obviously done to promote sales.

Yeah, I pick up a word here and there, and I know basic grammar, but I wouldn't say I speak Japanese. For example, I didn't know something as basic "kiri" meaning "to cut". When it comes to "kiri"-names, I tend to think of fog, or mist (Kirto, Kirika...). [Thanks, Enzo. ]

I did know, for example, that "Seigi" means justice (--> Rulebook), so I wasn't entirely unprepared.

Is it? Aren't there rules what you can and can't show on TV? I mean, seeing blood flood into a syringe isn't the sort of thing that makes me buy a BD (or Dvd). That said, if they'd release the show in my region I'd buy it with no hesitation. Sadly, it's just about the least likely show to get a release around here from this season (German/European market). I mean, 2012 was a great year for anime, but none of the shows I want are available. And this one...

Aside: I thought censoring Emiliy's breasts was ridiculous. If anything, it made the scene more racy, rather than less.

Depends of the TV station. This one seemed rather light on censoring. I've seen stations even censoring panties shots on late-night anime.
I also think I've also seen blood censored to be made black on TV versions too.
Maybe Emily's censorship was because of nipples? Who knows.

[Master_Yoma]

Must say Yamane was just so cute this episode and know some more of Emily past

[Flower]

Really enjoying this bizarre, yet curiously interesting series. The characters in particular are ineresting for me, though I kinda like the art style too.

The back story of Emily was a touching to me. I wonder if she will become another bodyguard sorta person for the Queen or if she will die after uttering forgiveness to Kiri?

Fave series of the season for me. :-)

[orion]

I been wondering something...

What if Kiri is Grayland's reincarnation? It could be a reason why he doesn't see Grayland in his dreams.

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

You know, I’m gonna be pissed if this anime ends with a LOLWUT anime-original ending. If I have to choose, I’d go with cliffhanger instead of an abrupt ending. Still, an abrupt ending might also fit the weirdness of this series. I don’t know.

Emily: Fantastic! Now if you'll excuse me. I have to kill a certain white-haired loli coz I want to become his only daughter .

I do not think so. The next episode preview shows Jurisdiction becoming crazy. He might be experiencing his ancestor's influence now.
