Though, I am wondering how they plan to wrap up a story this complex in 11 episodes.
They'll probably over simplify everything and wrap it up with a single event, like always. What would be nice is if they cut it off at episode 11, leave it open, and continue the story with a 2nd season at a later date. Sort of like what they did with Zero no Tsukaima (which worked it quite nicely).

I heard they are going to follow up the 11th episode with a movie to complete the story.

I'd sure like to see them do that.

So who keeps Takizawa's mall in mint condition? Seriously, you'd think it'd get a bit dusty . . .

Hmm after seeing ep4 I'm starting to question Saki's relevance to the story. I think her presence will be to make sure the guy doesn't make the same mistake he did before and hence deliberately erased his memories which seems to be for
Spoiler :
for the purpose of starting over, looked like killing off the NEETs wasn't going to save the country =P
But I like how the episode draws into question a lot of things like, exactly what is defined as 'saving the country', I mean that hospital was really out of good-will. Also given the number of episodes in this I think we might be seeing 2 or more of those ppl killed off each ep, I have a suspicion that one of them is doing the missile attacks thinking it'll help the country. But yeah great story so far.

Yeah, I have a feeling that a lot of the other selecao are the perpentrators of pretty horrendous things. Maybe our guy has been too, but the girl is a device to turn him around?

I finally got lost in the conversation in this show. Some of the stuff in episode 6 just flew over my head.

Beware the Johnny Taker. 20,000 victims and rising.
