Fiji said: Grandpa is the one that had the sundial wristwatch right? He got it from a woman. And that woman is Watashi herself!!!! Grandpa is Doc! Doc is Grandpa! This is a freakin time paradox!!! The cycle keeps on repeating. It ended until the assistant materialize. I didn't realize that Ringo was Grandpa in his early teens. I haven't been carefully paying attention, dangnammit! This time paradox arc was really clever. My mind is blown... |
| Episode 8, aired in August, about time loops, and there really were 88 clones in the first episode of the arc. References, references... ^^ Also, Doctor was disappeared. And in episode 7, a woman transformed into a dog. Also, Doctor and dogs has the same eyes... So, this "Doctor" is the paradox fixer. "Time paradog" |
 |
| Lololol at young Grandpa er I mean Ringo Kid X D. He had the hots for his granddaughter though when you think about it so yeah heh This episode I had to watch a couple of times to piece everything together because of how subtle the plot/hints are. How bout anyone else watching this series? Do you guys need to rewatch parts to catch on things you may have missed? |
| Awesome Time Paradogs arc this one was. |
 |
| Lame episode. review with added parts. |
| Weird describes this show perfectly, I didn't get that Ringo Kid was the grandpa and the assistant (or his personality at least) was basically created by Watashi, I just didn't like how they showed us the time loops again. |
| Anyone notice this? Ringo Kid = Apple Kid = Sinful Kid? Apple represent fruit of sin, and also knowledge. Despite the abuse that Watashi suffered from the boy, partly she liked it, so that after he was gone and she was reminding him she felt attracted by his body. She ended up wishing that Assistant had a body like his, because she found it exciting. She just did not like the personality and so desired a contrary personality. This story was like a fairy tale. Really beautiful, she wished someone who would like to love, and also wanted be someone who could love him for feeling sorry for history of his life. |
 |
| my mind is full of what..... again. lololol time paradog |
 |
| By the way, there was no explanation for the football scene in the first part of the arc. It also might be a spice mixed by the producers, here is a story about "Dane's head". There are strong relationship between fairy tales and atrocity. |
| First before I present the whole confusion in a understandable manner to the many simple minded fellows who plain hate such confusion as this episode marks out. The following notes: First time: 12:30pm/2 pm at plaza/3 pm forest Second time: 1 pm plaza/1:30 pm road Third Time: 2 pm plaza/2:30 pm Forest Fourth Time: 1:40 pm Road/2 pm Plaza/2:30 pm Forest/ Fifth Time: 2:30 pm/3 pm forest/ Sixth Time: 1:40 pm road/2 pm plaza Of all the 6 times those damn fairies again due to self egoistical perceptions of perfecting the taste of the banana as if the last time it was not enough. The only excuse this time around was a bug was in the banana? Time bug? A mistake but that is not admitted by the Fairies? Perhaps it was just a excuse for them to pry upon Watashi’s most inner desires? Indeed I think it’s both to reveal the assistant himself and of his hometown along with his past. Now continuing on the notions of the shot in the following notes: Country isolated 100 years from world Hercules Ares Doc Holiday Ringo Kid We can have a scope of what the kid’s names himself as and why at first it was Doc Holiday and then the apple kid. Moreover the terms the grandfather uses are interesting themselves. So let’s start to unconfuse people. Bear in mind that those are IMO and that my knowledge perhaps may not be the delicious spoon soup of taste but in general my IMOs are quite good when I decide to pull out my brains instead of laying it to waste on some anime shows. About the grandfather’s Greek?Roman mythological references, there are a few notions to take heed before that happens. First of all the spoiler The second immediate detail is the following spoiler Now going back to the mythological reference the first one being of Hercules in the spoiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules From the looks of the grandfather he was saying it most likely because he wants a assistant in looks to protect his daughter while most likely thinking he would give her good kids that would be strong to support the future of humankind. The second reference in the spoiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares Now that is said mostly due to the grandfather wanting someone who can give out good protection with knowledge of war itself. In other words ti was just inferred as type of protective means but in a more refined manner than all brutal liker Hercules was. So that’s more or less cleared and the grandfather was also smiling in the spoiler About the Doctor, she can be considered as the teacher that Ringo Kid had sex with. That are 2 signs of this. The first one in the spoiler The second sign is in the spoiler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procreate Which really is having sex to make kids and family. So it’s obvious that to think that woman might be the one he had sex with logical. Moreover if one thinks about it from the following spoiler About Watashi’s little adventure, well Watashi in the spoiler About the abuse of the clones, it comes back in the spoiler The second time of that cloning in the spoiler The third time, happens to be the vital one in finally explaining that the clones were more a recollection each of Watashi’s feelings partitioned like a hard rive into bits each one responding accordingly. Think of it that way and of course it could have been a back plan of the fairies to find out how to make sweets. From the spoiler  Of Watashi’s blush and more precisely her face in the spoiler About the assistant, another confusing part. It has multi elements that each should be addressed separately which I will do now. The first thing to remark is the time shift was much more into the past than any other before. That being said the first thing of the town in the spoiler 2 things can be deducted from this particular segment. First of all the dog petting in the spoiler A final interesting thing of him would be that he is rather agile and full of energy in the spoiler About Time Paradox and Watashi’s love wishes. Now that is quite apparent to take one step at a time. The first thing to notice is the Ringo Kid’s playful spinning around in the spoiler So what follows next is THE KEY point! Quite simply the taking of the apple in the spoiler  Was quite nice IMO. It showed a nice side that Watashi wants a assistant being bold as she mentions it during the last time she is with the clones goes back to the Third Time and what was mentioned. It goes back to it being sinful in terms of engaging publicly into sexual innuendos. The author most likely refers to Whore Houses and that the decline of humanity is due to people not marrying and having stable families but the males going from one partner to another as below it implies. The author may go as far as even outlining that kisses should be done within one's privacy. The last part might show another side as to why Watashi might not want love or plain simply the decline of Humanity itself. At first the gift giving in the spoiler Consider also that assistant was ALL A FIGMENT OF WATASHI’S MIND! Indeed it damn right is! It’s not the real one! It’s a ideal one and does what Watashi’s own mind thinks about males and wants in love from them. The dog’s eyes in the spoiler About the final meeting with the assistant, there are 2 things to take into account from this segment. The first one is the real assistant’s form but also the Sakura petals in the spoiler The last one is the handshake in the spoiler So in conclusion I hope this explains and gives some views to people of what to think of this episode exactly along with my notes. BTW GIFs have been done in the Club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=480149 Basically Watashi’s kissing.

| My favorite episode. Just.. wow. Amazing. |
 |
| This arc was a pretty funny take on procrastination in my opinion. Add our modern habit of procrastinating and a little bit of fairy factor fantasy and we get one hilarious slip up of an adventure. Also some pretty genius writing involving the bootstrap paradox and we almost had a reverse grandmother paradox here. Seriously though, if Watashi became her own grandmother my mind would've just been blown right there... Also a bit of discussion on the themes of this episode from me here. Procrastinate more! |
| OK now that I read the comments on this forum it all makes sense. I was confused as fuck until someone very kindly posted a link to the bootstrap paradox. Now I understand how the grandpa got the sundial watch in the first place. This series just gets better and better. I love it! |

| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| well, that was boring. the first 10 minutes were just llike a recap |
| So she loves her Assistant in a way...right? |
 |
| He spoke btw. |
| |
| THE REAL ASSISTANT SPOKEEE <3 |
| I liked the way that with th paradox a different kind of connection was built between Watashi and the Assistant before they had ever me. It makes me think ever so slightly the Assistant was her Gary Stu. xD kuroneko99 said: By the way, there was no explanation for the football scene in the first part of the arc. It also might be a spice mixed by the producers, here is a story about "Dane's head". There are strong relationship between fairy tales and atrocity. Ah, that's pretty cool, thanks for the info. Can't say I'll be playing kick the skull any time soon. xD; |

My love notice this: The Chariot is represented as being pulled by two sphinxes, and Grandfather cities that chariots is usually are pulled by two horses but he had only one. The horse's name is "Daimos", but I suspect a engrish here, and in fact the horse's name would be "Deimos", which in Greek mythology is the "Panic". Not suggestive? He also mentions a tank called "Merkava", which in Hebrew means "Chariot." Would he be emphasizing a chariot named Chariot? This symbolism of the tarot card is no stranger here. When something is messed up and you need to join parts and reflect how they fit together to solve a situation that is called enigma. The sphinxes represent puzzles, and the card of the chariot in particular represents an external battle for a goal, especially a battle that must be won with confidence, conviction and clarity of ideas. To Watashi this situation is the battle against the domain of fairies and attend in his appointment, and what she needs to do this more than confidence, conviction and clarity of ideas? |

| Yay bootstrap paradox. I was scratching my head last week wondering how she lost the sundial and thought it may be just that, she just lost it. Should have known better that Jintai would conjure up something far more clever and unique as an explanation, silly me. Again an incredibly entertaining episode with the anime kinda ironically filling in the gaps between the time loops to paint a clearer picture of the happenings in the previous episode. Its also surprising that quite a few of the assertions people made in the previous episodes discussion topic panned out. Usually theres only one answer that explains everything but i guess thats Jintai for you and its Multifaceted goodness. I may have said this before i'm not to sure but this anime is brilliant. Also Assistant spoke? what is the world coming to? |
 |
| When Watashi mentioned the stolen watch that the professor took rather than received from her i was like. OH MY GOSH THAT'S THE YOUNG PROFESSOR! :O Which means that Watashi was the girl he liked. Um, not sure how to think about that, lol. He sure had a wild side when he was young. So that's what the fairies meant when they said they'd sent her back too far. I was wondering why they said that but everything looked relatively the same. Great episode. And Assistant talked! Time Paradogs, lol. |

| Wow, thank you everyone! I had no clue that the other boy was watashi's grandfather. A great episode as always! |
| The best episode so far!!)) |
Aqua_Marine said: The bootstrap paradox addresses an issue that we can't test because it's based on a speculative scenario - we can't time travel, after all. It basically restates the problem in a form that provides a possible means that is also open to questions about "how".But there's still one question linger in my head unanswered... Where does that sundial watch originally come from? |
 |
| Wow, this episode was spectacular. At first I kept on thinking: "Oh come on! This is getting a tad bit boring!" But by the end, EVERYTHING pieced together! Why the assistant kept on running to the forest; to the teaparty and the multiple creations of him created by Watashi kept on sculpting the assistant time and time again. Until, he finally discovered who he was. That was amazing! Interesting Paradox dogs though... I'm guessing its a play on the word since "Paradox" indeed often sounds like "Paradogs". Can't wait till next episode, in all respects I give this episode a 5/5. =) |
| Did you say "nerd"? ---------------------- Not "nerd" -- "node". |
| Time paradog? LOL So who was the first assistant? Doc Holliday? Ringo Kid? And he was caught procreating with the sexy teacher! o_O A trial and error character till we got the assistant we've known all along? And he spoke at last! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| LMAO to be honest it took me 3 tries to actually manage finish this episode because I didn't understand shit at first!!! even though I like to watch mindfucks every once in a while XD |
 |
| Why it's not rated with at least 8 already? I wish more people will recognize and watch this series. And I had no more things to say already. Epic bow for Romeo Tanaka, that's what I expect from Cross+Channel's writer. |
| Hearing Satoshi talk about making Watashi wet, her boobs, and procreating was definitely the strangest part of the episode. |
Flevalt said: That's a lot of interpretation and unnecessary explanation contained into one big unnecessary text that clarifies absolutely nothing. Well done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GNZkEsJt70 |

windy said: Hearing Satoshi talk about making Watashi wet, her boobs, and procreating was definitely the strangest part of the episode. Yes this. |
| Oh wow, I didn't even think of the possibility that Ringo was the grandpa...very nice, bumped my score for the episode up to a 5/5. I was a bit upset that Watashi let so much sexual harassment slide though. Time paradog...A certain blond magical girl would lose her head hearing this. |
Yvese said: This ep was how Endless Eight should have been |
 |
| that was interesting. time paradog. lol |
  |
| Cute asistant! |
 |
| He spoke, time paradog. That is so clever. I wonder why I stopped watching this for a while, it's so good once you watch it but I don't have any motivation to watch it. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Lol the first thing we hear from him is Time Paradogs xD Lol nice episode was quite strange to see an other kind of assistant :p what a player! |
 |
TravSavage said: So basically... I just watched incest? So, how exactly did you come to that conclusion? Touching somone's breast who happens to be your future granddaughter is now incest? You should probably look the definition up. Great episode. I like how they hinted at the "first" assistant actually being Watashi's grandfather and the way Watashi described what she "thought" Assistant looked like was almost as though she was describing her ideal lover/person. |

| Quick, Where are the Grampa x Watashi fan arts? |
 |
| THIS EPISODE. I CAN'T SPEAK OF ITS AWESOMENESS O_O Although I only JUST got Ringo Kid = grandpa ... how you guys pick up on this stuff is beyond me LOL ;P Ringo Kid was hilarious XD So if that's grandpa ... wow, weird. So the "beautiful girl" he met was his own granddaughter! He took the watch from her ... but then gave it to her ... AHHHHHHHHH *mind explodes* XD Seeing him tease Watashi was hilarious though ... her reactions were amazing ;P Sounds like she was describing her ideal lover ... and that's what Assistant heard?! Hmm, are they trying to hint at something? :P So he was just searching for a "personality" to have ... AND HE SPOKE! TIME PARADOGS?!??!?!?! ... I am impressed LOL XD Apparently it's our lovely Fukuyama jun speaking ... although I couldn't hear it in his voice (but come on! It was only two words ... ;P) Still find it funny how she's like *standing* ... *SLIPS* XD Anyway, looking forward to more of this show! :O |
| By far the best episode 5/5 |
 |
| I'm speechless. This is like... the best thing ever. |
