Akuma No Riddle episode 8: This show has been a bit all over the place in terms of quality, but this episode has really reignited my interest.
With only 6 girls left now (The 2 main girls, the rulekeeper and the 3 assassins) it feels a lot more.. focused, the plot is finally starting to move on into bigger and better things, and the character interactions are getting more screentime.
There were some pretty awesome twists in this one, like the girl giving an assassination notice with another person name on it to catch them off guard, and seriously oh pomegranate that last minute or so. I knew it was a possibly from the beginning: 2 girls working together to split the protector from the target.
It will be interesting to see how Haru gets out of this one alive. She must have some degree of combat ability to have survived all this time, I guess this is her chance to shine against an assassin with nobody defending her.
Also, lol, there are only 3 male characters in the whole show, and they've managed to include a gay guy who is not only badass, but not a lecherous pervert like most depictions of gay guys in anime. So well done show, well done.
