Nice episode but damn that ending was quite fucked up she definitely lost her mind!

Great episode though up to the last 4 episodes!

I'm honestly curious as how Saya fits into the whole thing. She's bound to have some involvement but i can't see how some counseling can cause the girl with the red hair to forget that she ever confessed.

Kagari's actions had good intention but simply came at the wrong time. She doesn't want Yomi to feel bound to her and to become restricted as a result, thus the reason why she says that they should forget about the past. It would be better if they can make new friends and move on positively in life. But well, Yomi was in a crazy mood at that time so now she's convinced that no one needs her anymore (all thanks to Saya). From what happened in the BRS world, i'm guessing that she'll fall out with Mako. We'll see.

That was alright.
I adore Kagari, Mato, Yuu and Kohacchi, but Yomi was honestly annoying.
It was so melodramatic it was kind of ridiculous!

Ugh, I think Yomi needs to move on. She always think that no one really needs her. She feels jealous of Mato's friend, Yuu. Now her own childhood friend, Kagari.
It seems that Saya did something to Kohachi. She didn't remember the boy anymore.

Wow, I was afraid this anime is going to melodrama :( So I guess Kagari is not the only one who has dependent psychological issues eh? It is kind of right since Yomi has been putting up with Kagari's issues for a long time now, it's obvious that Yomi has issues herself.
So when Black Rock Shooter killed you in the alternative world, you lose memory that makes you feel bad. I wonder why Kagari did not lose hers. Maybe she is not really dead, or part of the "elite"?
Black Rock Shooter has quite tough monster to fight against. But I know she will win because she is too OP lol :D

Damn it's intense.
But, I can also see why a lot of people don't like this.
It's kind of forced, if you can't look past that, it's hard to enjoy.

Finding a lot of the posts regarding this episode to be quite surprising, and frankly, a bit unsettling.
At this point, despite the series having been out for years, I've only seen the first four episodes, and I make it a point to avoid as many spoilers as I can, so I know nothing more than what I've seen so far, and what I've seen so far says that Saya the counselor is far more than she appears to be (perhaps the older (red) figure in the alternate world?) and is seriously messing with the heads of every girl that she "counsels" .
Yomi's reactions, despite being a bit over the top, are imo understandable and have probably been driven over the top by Saya's manipulations.
I'm finding people's lack of empathy for Yomi to be kinda scary.

I was wondering when Yomi was going to go bat shit crazy. Kagari made Yomi's life a living hell and now she's happily moving on and seemingly forgotten about all the things she did to her and Mato.

In the other world, do they just battle all day?

Saya bringing home the coffee cup was a bit creepy..... actually everything about Saya is creepy now. What the heck is she up to?! o_O"


That actually would make a lot of sense (with the "sugar" and stuff)
Saya has to be the rey-eyed girl in the alternate universe ... right?

Anyhow
Seems Kagari & Yomi changed roles.

And here I thought killing their alter-egos was good but... now I'm not so sure.
Arata was literally stripped of her emotions and Kagari lost something even more precious in the process.
Is that relief they were searching for? I don't think so.

Black Gold Saw need to die and soon. The teacher's scheming is surpassing all limits. Saya needs to suffer.

The councilor is really pouring salt unto the emotional wounds. Ooh the eyes are crackling with lightning, that means business, right ... ? Still curious on what the giant eyes in the sky represent. Yomi didn't like it when she was stuck with Kagari, now with her gone, she needs to find a middle ground.

Poor Yomi, she's gone insane. I dont know what that counsellor is thinking, making school girls feel worse about themselves.

Other than that, great episode!

Kagari's acceptance into the class seems to be sudden but we were able to see a more calm and pleasant side to her since she's no longer heavily influenced by her former-self. Also, memory loss seems to occur when your otherself is killed off and vanishes from the Otherworld (Kohata clueless on who the boy she asked out was).

Aside from Mato and Yuu's relationship, it seems Yomi's starting to take Kagari and newest friends to heart since Kagari doesn't need to depend on her anymore (when she goes to school on her own with Mato). When Saya tells her that she shouldn't "overburden" herself with it (useless and a nobody), she becomes frustrated by Kagari's new friends and still depressed that Mato isn't her best friend (blood teared painting).

As her mentality worsens, I think it's obvious that BGS is the otherself of Saya since BGS is seen smirking (similar to Saya and her cold behavior towards Yomi) in seeing Dead Master coil herself in chains. Yomi becomes desperate and hopes that Mato and her still have a connection but instead almost loses it when Yuu calls in Mato's stead. This makes her emotionally unstable and is ultimately pushed when Kagari doesn't remember at all about their past of ever needing Yomi (her memory is forgotten similar to Kohata).

Not much shown in the Otherworld in this one but BRS might've been trying to aid Dead Master but she has become unstable (perhaps crazed) and directly attacks BRS believing her to be a threat that she must get rid of.

Okay I'll stop here for today, the show is quite short and I'd like to enjoy it a bit longer :p.

Overall I find it great ATM. The character design is excellent, I really really like the art style, and while I've seen many people ranting about the CGI, I found it beautiful. Yes it's noticeable, but it's the first time I'm actually glad to see that kind of shit in one of my series.

I knew there was something bothering me with Yomi's design (and her alter ego with all those chains)


And that pacing... It's really really hard to stop now after THAT super cool ending.

I love seeing more Kagari, because she's the most interesting character in this anime. It's cool to see her recover so well and start a normal school life. Super sad about Yomi, though. :( Looks like nobody really has time for her. She just needs a best friend to care for her and spend time together. And that ending, with Dead Master making her appearance is so awesome. The soundtrack in this anime is illegally good.

The madness and chaos going around in Real World. Its a matter of time Yomi will turn crazy. Not much action happened but it was really good episode.

This is fucked up and too in a literal sense, not even a single sane person now except Mato i guess. With everything Yomi's been through for the last few episodes, that conversation with Kagari was the breaking point. And now i have a fair idea what sensei's other self is.

BRS against Dead master now.
