(L+CR) Akuma no Riddle (Riddle Story of Devil)

Episode 6 preview:

Even I don't know where this is heading since the anime caught up with the manga so we're all in the same page!

[silvercover]

well indeed, I dont know who's next up.

still, we do have some more information from the manga concerning the details of chitaru and "hints" of the identity of her true target, which can give you an idea on how her arc might go.

[kitten320]

Finally an assassin that went straight for a kill instead of messing around. Though she should have just stabbed Haru instead of choking her.

[AntonKutovoi]

Guess not every girl is gonna die after failing assassination attempt. The first girl definetely was killed (spider lily on the table is a sign of it), but the rest might survive.

so as it is right now, done better than last ep. felt more "natural"(though that could be cause I dont know the details of how it would happen in the manga).

however again, there's still some stuff that greatly annoyed me. to be precise, they are again cutting off the interpersonal relationships of the assassins with each other.
isuke, haruki's roommate

Spoiler for for the reallyyyyyyyy small chance they will touch it in her arc, but doubtful.:

gave the impression that she actually genuinely cares for haruki and her advice was also truly genuine too, rather than how the anime made it seem like she was just being sarcastic/sadistic (in the manga, she actually looked sad when she was saying "I was just giving you some advice" after she left the room).

then before that, haruki accidentally broke her nail polish. then when asking how much it cost, she feels dispirited with the cost, but isuke actually told her not to sweat it though she did comment on how poor the girl could be.
then isuke starts talking about money and how its the only thing that's important in this world as well as her only drive in life.
haruki disagrees of course, saying that family is more important.
and instead of clashing/disagreeing/correcting haruki, isuke pauses to think about it and THEN AGREES WHOLEHEARTEDLY WITH HARUKI.
"...Yes, you're right. if it's for family, I'm willing to do anything"

but another annoying thing is them cutting off the ship tease for haru and tokaku(its not in spoiler since haruki's gone now which means the chance of it coming back up in a later ep is zero):
when tokaku and haruki were just chatting earlier about the school play they were doing and how peaceful it was, haruki brings up the topic of love due to their play.
then she asks what tokaku might do if she ended up in a similar situation like romeo and juliet (aka forbidden love) which tokaku immediately says its impossible, saying that she'll choose who she wants.

it's not actually important compared to the one in spoiler... but if they're going to add up filler for the anime to stand with the limited eps, wouldn't you like keep all the shipping material for the main characters?

yeah because of these unnecessary cut I wonder why he's doing? --'

Another example of the interaction between Banba shinya / Mahiru and hanabusa................. seriously he want they want to make this anime lowest yuri possible to compare manga.??

Spoiler for Episode 6:

damn this episode was SO SAD, that very last part where they both die together almost made me cry. Overall a nice episode, I thought Kirigaya was gonna kill Chitaru as well but I guess she really did change and wanted to be with her.

[AllForAn]

Spoiler for Ep 6:

Too good to be true that 3 character got death at once. i bursted out crying when i saw two girls kill themself. This is too shocked. That is romantic scene but it's really SAD.

If the poison didn't kill her...

[Om Nerabdator]

that last scene with the curtains falling and the teacher is smiling was.....a bit off putting wonder if his in on it or was he just smiling for the play

[Benigmatica]

Spoiler for Ep. 6!:

Well, it seems that Shiena just died by Kirigaya's poison!

On the other hand, I find it sad that both Chitaru and Hitsugi died together just like Romeo and Juliet. It sure hit me hard!

Now that 3 assassins are "transferred" on this episode, I wonder if there would be an original ending?

[Kanon]

Spoiler for 6:

Three "transfers" in one episode, that was unexpected. I figured out right away that the little girl was Angel Trumpet because it was what would cause Maximum drama, but I didn't expect everything to end so tragically. A shame we never found out much about Angel Trumpet, we don't even have a clue what her motivations were.

It was even worse for Shiena. She exited before even getting her turn.

Apparently it's a high school for the clone army, props on each of them having different expressions.

At least the homeroom teacher is unfazed at the masses!

[Triple_R]

I can't believe they actually did that...

How cheesy can you get?!

[zztop]

Akuma's OP, Soshou Innocence, is currently #17 on Japan's radio charts.

[ookamigirl]

Cultural festival?
Yup, no one is safe from school events LOL
They seem to be forcing that play again.
Wonder if they're gonna use it to try and kill Haru.
The answer to that is yes.
Well, at least that's over now.
The play wasn't actually that bad.
Its ending was very much real.

[HandofFate]

well damn.
Didn't expect to lose THREE people this episode.

Poor Ken'mochi getting NTR'd for her target and didn't even get a backstory.

The ending was kind "oh come on..." it was a tragedy I guess, but seemed like it could have used more buildup. Very surreal with the audience watching not knowing they just saw two people die.

[ChampDream]

Poor Shiena, she go her turn skip.
Is was really sad that Chitaru and Kirigaya death is really sad, hey were my favorites characters so far.
