Hmm, mysterious artifact...

The episode had a weird pacing but hey, we got more flashbacks so that's something. Really wish they made me care more about the characters or Touma in this case. Lol, a chainsaw

I agree with that.

Damm so Ryoko did end up dying from her wounds after all. To think that the magician's older brother was a criminal that dresses as one. The insight into the relationship between the brothers also did well to create an entrance into Yuki's own heart as a result of their similar shared experiences. Seems there's some tension within the agency's higher command as well which considering Souma's personality is to be expected. I wonder was the school in which the brothers were raised in designed to develop and nurture their abilities. Souma really has transformed into quite the devil though thats for sure. Looks like the first real confrontation between Yuki and her brother is set next ep.

i felt like this episode had a lot of random bits of information and new characters thrown in, so it felt kind of confusing (even more so than the last couple of episodes). i dont exactly have high hopes for this one but i want to think that it will at least get slightly better on this last half of eps

That was a mix mesh of shit in this episode, wonder who created this anime? He probably wanted to make cash right away, he should just change careers because writing isn't his friend.

kudos to the opening song being the only thing to help me prevent dropping this anime.

In this episode of Afterlost...

A magician's trick. A ploy. A sibling battle.

Constant battles between people.
Yoshiaki vs. His brother.
Yuki vs. Souma.
The seemingly arduous relationship/partnership of Souma and Akira.
The Agency, the Phantom Thief Brigade, and Artifacts.

The story itself is still cumbersome to piece together, and all these don't add up to the experience.

Interesting designs & messy but has a promising plot forming.
Too many groups that come & go, should focus on something.

What is it and why am I still watching it? x))
Is the game the same trash, anyone?

But anyway. So, the mother had blue hair. The father had (and probably still has) brown hair. Yet, Souma has silver hair and part of Yuki's hair are also silver. You know who else has silver hair? The piano guy!!!
So, what if Yuki and Souma are his kids and that's why he kept them alive in the Lost incident? :^)

Sort of weird pacing but the plot is forming with more backstory and character development. Honestly I don't dislike this anime

I feel like I made a mistake for continuing watching this anime... I'm out! Good luck with those who still want to give a chance, cuz I don't. Too boring and still very confusing :/ Adding more characters without concluding the previous ones is also a mistake and did not help the story at all. Such a pity...

It seems like the idea of traveling to Lost was put on the back burner. It's all mystery and stuff now. I hope this anime doesn't shift gears again.

A faceoff with the younger brother. Neat.

Man is it just me or are these episodes becoming more and more boring? I could hardly keep focus.

Looks like Ryouko is dead but I do not understand why they gave almost the entire last episode for her to kill her like this and the worst thing is that they do not close subplots, they only increase them more and more, making the pacing disastrous.

So the artefacts are the key priority now for all sides, hmm. The show really doesn't know what it wants to focus on or wants to be.

Souma is being a nuisance once again. Kind of scary that the green-haired research lady, who took a sword hit -as if I honestly care- can brainwash anyone.

How did the Phantom Thief gang know that Takuya and co were looking for them? It's not like they announced it or anything. They just turned up on the road and popped their tyres, lol.

This was some serious writing and directing clusterfuck.

Who wants what, what are they even doing, what about the motives? I don't really understand a shit now, so many randoms and flashbacks out of nowhere.

Also, half of the episode, I was thinking why the lady who was killed in the last episode is alive again, only to realize Ryouko and Yumiko has almost the same character design.
The same applies to Takuya/Akira, are they confusing viewers on purpose?

Nothing makes sense in this series, I honestly questioning their qualities as writers. Don't understand how this sub-par story got so many game sequels from WFS (and another RPG is in planning)
