| Brilliant episode and it was easier to follow than the previous. My favorite so far. We got to see a portion of humans' daily lives through this ep. And man, the piano scene is beautiful. And so is the music. I hope it continues to be amazing til the end. |
| This episode was definitely the best one so far. I was really touched at some moments, especially during the flashback. I've got to admit that I'm starting to like this series very much. |
 |
| Yeah. This is one of the saddest episodes in Kaiba and a very powerful episode in its own right too. A piece of art if you ask me. Poor Chroniko. |
| Ah I see, So Popo is with One Accord going by the beginning of this episode. Then this makes much more sense to me now as he's probably also the flying guy. This episode was a masterpiece and now I'm thinking it's very much possible that this series will get a 10/10 from me. This series represents originality and creativity to it's very core. |

| The music in this is beautiful. |
 |
| Poor Croniko. Fuck. This series in 3 episodes has spoke to me more than some shows that last over 50 episodes. Consider me hooked. |
| Damn that was a good episode, sad and depressing but actually really good, the show has some strong points I've got to say, especially this dramatic backstory! Lets see what happens to the body, I'd love to see her return actually! |
 |
| Here I go again "not commenting on individual episodes". I should revoke that statement / rule. Anyway, I haven't seen anything as sad that made me actually break into tears since that one part in The Perk of Being a Wallflower. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. |
| hauntingly intimate |
MaxVdub said: This ep was a powerful self-contained tragedy. Perfect way to describe this episode. Not much else I can say because everyone else has already said what I wanted to say. I was bawling by the end of the episode, it was just heartbreaking how it all happened to Chroniko's family. Also, the rich are so filthy sometimes, destroying Chroniko's memories like that. |
| Episodes like these remind me of why I watch anime. |
 |
| WTF KIND OF WORLD IS THIS?!?! That guy just...tossed Chroniko's memories away like it was nothing....now Kaiba has her body and the mom finally regretted her decision and there is no going back... wow that just really made me sad and pissed me off at the same time. |
 |
| Great episode. |
| Depressing episode. Is this episodic? I'd like to see more of Kaiba. Those guards are idiots, lol. Not sure I understood this episode entirely. |
 |
| what a terrible world these characters live in. that was so sad, i didn't expect it to get that sad. the music was damn good and the art style has really grown on me. best episode so far. |
| Beautiful flashback, beautiful episode. |
| This episode was amazing. |
| This was so hauntingly amazing, Yuasa is a genius |
| That was some damn sad shit that happened to Chroniko, deceived like that. Bitch-aunt seemed to have some regrets in the end. Now with Kaiba in her body I wonder how it will go from here. The thought of everything depending on a single chip is terryfying. This is getting good. |

| This episode was so well written and it accurately displayed the dystopian setting of the narrative. Beautiful. |
 |
| Strangest most unusual anime I've watched in a while but it's to be expected of Trigger, I suppose. How interesting that, at the push of a button, an entire room can be called up that someone could walk around in, a place where memories are stored like books and records on shelves. Chroniko's last moments were pretty horrifying when you think about it. I had to watch the episode twice to understand what Chroniko's aunt was doing. Not sure I understand why she inserted those memories at the end considering what she'd done and the sadness that was certainly going to overwhelm her. |
| yeah now she does cry the little shitfuck |
| that was all sorts of fucked up and sad, I really like how this show is expanding on the world it has like so many other series fail to do. YUASA is GOAT |
| This is too good. I'm taking my time watching this, as I enjoy it too much. |
| When I heard Chroniko's aunt crying at the end...felt a damn hollowness in my heart. Good episode. Best one, by far. |
| q_q. Well if the point of this episode was drive home the corrupt dickery of this world until you tear up then it succeeeded handily. Vanilla as it turns out is playing a bro role without even knowing it. Wonder how long this will last. |
 |
| Powerful. Brilliant. Had I known this show was gonna be anything like this, I'd have never pt it off for so long. The MAL synopsis does not do it justice. |
 |
| Best episode so far. The piano playing scene and music near the end was very sad and hauntingly beautiful, a real highlight of the series so far. Not ashamed to say I shed a tear. This is also getting easier to follow, last episode was quite frustrating. |
| Oh no...the feels :'( What a wonderful episode, to say the least. I've only watched 3 episodes and I'm really liking this anime so far. I hope it keeps getting better. |

| I had a hunch last episode, but it looks like Kaiba will get a new body each episode? What a striking implication, that one can guide the course of their future actions by removing any influencing memories. A woman that loves Chroniko as her own daughter—and as the living memory of her sister—couldn't possibly sell off her niece's body, even for the sake of her sons. But take away all happy memories of Chroniko, and she becomes disposable.... It frightens me to think that depression could lead to people taking "suicide in steps." You maybe can't bring yourself to take a leap off a bridge, but you can slowly wipe your mind of all positive memories, giving yourself less and less reason to live. |
| Wow, this episode was excellent, I'm out of words. So simply animated yet so beautifuly told the story. 5/5 |
 |
| I honestly am not understanding the appeal of this, because its depressing that somehow makes it a good show? It all is just random melodrama to me, there is no direction as to what the show is trying to aim for other than "life sucks". Main character still a big question mark who just looks around with vacant wide eyes. Right now I'd give this a 5 and feel generous with the rating. |
 |
| Holy shit, this is so beautiful. At the same time, I don't think I can binge watch this, though. It's just too much. |
| Poor Chroniko. I couldn't imagine why her memories were thrown away like that, I'm sure they were worth something to someone, especially the happy parts? Maybe there's a detail I'm missing. |
| This was a sad episode almost brought me to a tear. |

| What a tragic and yet sinister episode; when the man at the lab told her, as she was fading away, that her memories will not reach her family i was destroyed. As for the family, such a complex thing; at first i thought for sure her step-mother really didn't wanted her at all, but then the end cleared this out for us and showed us a more complex reality. So sad they used to hide food and stuff, but at the same time due to the mom's job it looks they did indeed had some hardtime. So sad now Kaiba is a host in her body, feeling miserable for the lost kid. |

| This is the episode that I realized this series is truly something great. |
 |
| when i watched the ep for the first time i didn't understand what the punch line in it i simply thought that it's just low quality drama but now after watching it for the second time it's make a lot of sense the writer just wanted to tell us ''there is a lot of danger in playing with the human mind and memories basically change the hole feelings of the person'' |
 |
| Honestly I went into this completely blind for the unique art expecting a trippy adventure sort of ordeal. Was not expecting to be tearing up by the 3rd episode, right when the ED starts it hit hard how screwed their world is poor Chroniko |
