While Joe is thrown in solitary confinement, Kiyoshi goes to the nurse's office with Hana. Hana hands him a pail to urinate inside, but after refusing to, she decides to do it on him instead. However, Chiyo arrives inside, so Hana and Kiyoshi hide under the bed,

dialogue and a tendency for redundancy. [146] The series ranked first in a poll of 820 people conducted by the Japanese website Anime! Anime!, to determine the best show of spring 2016. [147] Andy Hanley from UK Anime Network considered the anime adaptation as one of 2016's best series. [148] The Managing Editor from Anime Now!, Richard Eisenbeis lists the anime as one of his top picks from 2016 for its "culturally complex" world and characters that have "their own plans, faults, and motivations. " He praised Subaru as the "most complex character of the year" due to provoking the audience to "cheer him and despise him" in a world that portrayed him as the "least special person in it. "[149] The series took second place in the 2015–2016 Newtype Anime Awards. Additionally, director Masaharu Watanabe took first place, as did Subaru, Rem, and Puck (in the best male, female, and mascot character categories, respectively).
