Akuma no Riddle episode 9: Dayum, that was everything I was hoping for and perhaps more. Haru avoiding the assassin on her own was really cool, they made her look both helpless and surprisingly pragmatic all at once, the way she avoided getting killed didn't seem forced at all. No dramatic villain monologues, no dropping of idiot balls, she used the environment to her advantage as well as the slow swinging speed of the killers weapon. If I had any complaint about that whole sequence it's how the killer knew where she was at all times (except the part in the bathroom, but that made sense). Also how the hell was she swinging that massive hammer around, causing that much destruction and not get tired at all? Whatever, it was still awesome. I'll chalk it up to anime logic.
Finally some backstory for the main character and some character development too, which surprised me. the backstory of the hammer swinging girl was also unexpected and seriously creepy, fucking pedo's man. You can even see the moment where her psyche just... splits. Scary stuff.
I'm glad I stuck with this show, but the endgame is proving to be really, really awesome.
