Good music. Plot was okay. I still enjoyed Misaki's arc more than any so far.

so Yin's mom was having an affair with her piano teacher.... or not?? if she is then she deserves to burn in hell for all eternity..

well I don't care whether Yin is a doll or not what's important is that she was once a human being... and she will always be.

I'm watching the series for the first time (was recommended to me from Reddit or something) and it's absolutely great. This episode brought me the most feels up to this point (that piano, and the poems of that guy). I'm confused as all hell but enjoying this, even though it's going by "episode" (I actually find this new and somewhat exciting, even if I'm getting 0 backstory).

That was touching.
I was really expecting Huang to shoot and Hei taking the bullet.

I'm watching the dub on fumimation. I don't think yin is blind but rather that is from another translation? I really didn't hear it. I could have just missed one line of dialogue but was pretty tuned in cuz I love this show.

Oh wow, another sad story =(
But I still have doubts about what a doll really is. I mean, Yin is autistic yeah but that doesn't make her a doll. In the end what is a doll? How is that she's considered one? Does Pandora and M.E have to do with their creation? They can be made? So many questions.

PD: That forced smile tho jaja cute.

Beautiful, heartbreaking episode. I loved how between Yin and the 2 new contractors had some connection to their past through art. Their art could connect them back to their memories despite their changes upon becoming contractors or dolls. As a retired dancer I can relate to how deeply art can connect you to your past no matter what happens. And the opera singer's backstory and reason for her payment - so very heartbreaking.

no but she did start to have feelings for him before the plane crash and he already had ferlings for her, but for the feelings blame the father for not being home enough insted letting another guy spend so much time with ur family, my point is if father wouln't had died and this stuff that made some contractors and dolls then they would have ended having a affair, if she would have survived without the cobtractor doll stuff then he would have been her step father by new


overall point they didn't but it was heading that way so the plane crash saved them from that quilt, though it was fathets fault like i said even if they had ended up that way

Another solid episode and nice to see Yin choose Hei, especially after Hei referred to her as his partner when Hei wanted her to come back to their group. I feel like the arc overall was pretty good, although given the mysterious nature of Yin's character, could have also been done a lot better in my opinion and performed a bit under its potential for me. Didn't help that Yin like I mentioned for the previous episode, felt a bit too much like an outcast at times that the buildup towards this arc felt weak and while this arc standalone was pretty solid, it was not great or truly memorable in the grand scheme of things.

no actual hot springs scenes. thank jesus

decent backstory with the doll. Her mother's death got me a little. still not sure what transpired after that that led to her becoming a doll. was it just the gate's appearance? Or was there something more?

I do like how the doll is becoming more "human". Her free will and emotions are still there, somewhere, at least to an extent

the mother/daughter stories of the doll and that singing contractor, and the moon of atonement piano and poem montage was fitting. the "moonlight" of spectres was kind of corny, but whatever. overall I appreciated the episode

Huang...are you not a total asshole? to be determined. but I guess he was being literal when he said dolls were "programmed". and the syndicate really is all powerful, apparently

that blonde girl appeared at the end again. hmm

still not really sure where this is all headed

So Yin chose Hei over her piano teacher and the author thought it's ok for her to keep silent about since she's a Doll after all....

So Yin's past arc is now done. Can't say I was blown away by how amazing it was, but I enjoyed it. I love how she admitted how her mother's death was all because of her, I liked that a lot. Yin is the best! And that old man didn't shoot her so I like him more now.

Was okay. I'm abit feeling like, through this show, I'm being dragged through the writings and ramblings of someone whose dabbling into philosophy. Generally though, I feel like that and that I kinda wanna connect to the characters more, but some element is missing for me
