Glad it really is Kuraneko. I dont think she is dead tho based on what he said after they showed that scene and then ended it. I agree with the one who said it was probally a vision of what can happen. Kuraneko is not going to be able to get rid of him now ever short of flat out killing him. This is someone who carried guilt thinking his friend died cus of him. I think he will/would gladly give his life many times over to save her. I cant wait to see where this goes hopefully we dont have some dark jacked up ending.

The bleeding, poor those girls, and the explanation make the OP scene more sense.

A dumb question....

I did not foresee the way Murakami found a way to trace the pills back to the manufacturer. And he had the presence of mind to hide his digital tracks while searching the Internet. This is quite unusual in an anime, so I'll hand it to him for his resourcefulness.

I thought Murakami would duplicate the pills through a chemist. Afterall, they are just chemical compounds. If their composition could be reverse engineered, it should be possible to duplicate them. Of course, that will take time and money, as well as finding a chemist who doesn't ask inconvenient questions. I got that idea from the movie Limitless.

I feel like the third switch is an ejection system or something that removes the machine from the girls. One is death, the other is to prevent the use of magic, so the third is to remove the Hahnest. Or it can cause them to go into some overdrive that makes them into monsters. That makes a lot more sense for something worse than death. Or they used it as a bluff so no one would flip the third switch.

Yeah - as far as I remember nothing like that has been shown in the anime yet.

Maderug · 2014-04-22, 14:02

This show is really good, with good drama to it. It needs guts to slaughter Neko just as Ryouta finds out that she, in fact, is Kuroneko.

Can't wait for the next episode.

why they make such a bluff in order to no one touch that switch?
i think its not neseccary.

in my opinion, last switch is regenerated cell process or whatever you like called that. so, kuroneko will come to life again

if we assume the hypothesis, so 'something worse than death' can be explain too, because they're cannot died peacely even they're want to dead.

Very gripping situation here, that strikes me personally as pretty creative. They've come up with a truly engrossing nightmarish scenario for these "witches". Watching them trying to survive under these incredibly dark circumstances is very, very engaging. It definitely inspires the FEELS (especially for the completely paralyzed girl - it's amazing how well she's coping with all of this).

I have mixed feelings about Ryota, though. They're presenting him as a very morally uncompromising character in an inherently compromising situation. Told well, and this can deeply inspire. Told poorly, though, and it can really hurt the lead character and/or make his victories feel hollow and contrived. In some aspects, Ryota's characterization feels told well, but in others, he raises eyebrows for me. Time will tell which side he falls more on (unless the anime just goes for tragedy, in which case this distinction becomes a bit moot).

frodonk · 2014-04-24, 07:06

he saw those moles from more than 20 feet away, whose the witch (wizard?) now?

I know there's such a thing as "suspension of disbelief" but even I can't explain that away.

SPARTAN 119 · 2014-04-24, 11:02

Gokukoku no Brynhildr OST has been released. This, for instance, I think
this is the song that plays when Ryouta confronts Saori near the end of episode 3.

MCAL · 2014-04-24, 12:51

Again, there really isn't anything that really sticks out to me, but I still kind of enjoy what we are getting.

And that opening is still the sh*t.

Unfortunately, it seems that there isn't actually a "full-length" version of the opening (that is, there's two variants of the OP song, but both are only about 1:30 long). I suppose that's what happens when that opening is not a cut-down version of a pop song but an instrumental track created for that purpose. I'm a bit annoyed by this, because it's definitely an awesome piece of music.

Full agreement. It's the one time the fan 'extensions' are exactly what we want/need.

The presentation and execution are still crass and unpolished as ever but I'll be damned if it isn't mind-bogglingly entertaining. The show practically brute forces its way through logic by flinging twist after effing twist at the viewers. Sure, a lot of the shock value is earned at the behest of convenience but I feel like giving it a free pass on almost anything when it's clearly so much fun. And the show's blatantly unrepentant about it especially when you take into consideration how it's matter-of-factly about blood and gore which it casually intersperses it with fanservice. It's just another day in the show where a bunch of witches duke out to death and the evil scientists execute their 'pets' by reducing them into a pile of messy glop.

This episode instantly turned up the gore dial to eleven almost reaching Elfen Lied heights.

Time manipulation. Even though it should've been one of the obvious possibilities, it never really occurred to me that one of the few ways Kuroha could be revived is if someone had the ability to turn back the time. How many shows kill off their main characters only to resurrect them moments later? There's twists within twists. Thanks to the witch who had to turn back time to save her own hide, Ryota no longer remembers that he'd spotted the triple moles which had shifted to Kuroha's side-boob.

There's a little bit of everything for everyone. There's action, romance, gore, perhaps some faint elements of harem, aliens and glut of crazy superpowers that includes time manipulation and prescience. Even the fanservice is hilariously good and didn't seem like it was in bad taste.

Just when you thought the show had revealed everything it had to reveal, we treated to more surprises.

Cursory observations:

1. Kana can move but for some reason she's hiding that fact from everyone.

2. A new witch infiltrates Ryota's little harem, who's apparently AA+, in other words the strongest witch there is. Since Kuroha and the other witches didn't recognize her, they either don't know her or she's got the ability to shapeshift.

3. Ichijiku, the man behind the witch hunt, answers to a higher power who've got some sinister plan in motion.
