In all honestly the writing is so bad it makes me certain that this is either a horrendous adaption or the source material is just that bad. And I think the writing is bad for this show... AidanAK47 said: I think I'd agree that it is unambitious, though I don't see in what ways it is worse than being bad. Perhaps you mean that if it is bad at least it will not be as unforgettable? Not sure if it is necessarily a good thing though, unless it is so bad that it becomes a cult hit.Kyoukai no Kanata isn't bad. If it was bad then at least it would be notable. It's forgettable and unambitious. Which in some ways is worse than it being bad. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Ok this was sad bye |
 |
| Lol seriously? They died like that? Damn Ludger, you sure like kids. |
 |
| Within 3 minutes of Theo being on screen, it was pretty clear that he was most likely going to die. Actually, a lot of the lines and action are (the most) standard plot elements for writing tragedy. That leaves me to believe that the only purpose of the episode was to show how evil the Adni company is, which was accomplished. That and the message that not even the most seemingly trustworthy person can be trusted (in crime, or when his back is against the wall, at least). |
| That was a sad ending :( |
 |
| The "Introduce a new character just to kill them off to create character development for the main character" cliche. Reminds me of SAO, and not just because of the artwork. Lol. |
| I can't and i don't even want to understand why Ludger suddenly sold out the village ... i hope karma gets him. |
 |
| The first half of the episode was rather boring, and suddenly the second half...out of nowhere Ludger sells everyone out. Rather sad and tragic. This show has potential but the writing and pacing bring it down. I hope it improves. |

And I know Galileo Donna is an anime original with no source materiel. Also I never said the writing in Galileo Donna was good. I am just saying it's not horrible. symbv said: I think I'd agree that it is unambitious, though I don't see in what ways it is worse than being bad. Perhaps you mean that if it is bad at least it will not be as unforgettable? Not sure if it is necessarily a good thing though, unless it is so bad that it becomes a cult hit. Basically what's worse? A bad anime that at least gives you the joy of ripping it apart or anime that's neither bad or good and you forget what it was even about two months later. Kyoukai no Kanna is the kind of anime that doesn't really have a reason to exist.(Besides make a quick buck) |

| Oh Umetsu what are you doing ? Sthap T.T |
| inb4 the 2 kids didn't die (like the parents in episode 1) |
| Theo and Hozuki look great together. Theo looks like Kirito!!! When Theo held Hozuki I thought of that particular scene. Why!!!!!!!!! Theo and Karen T___________________________________T Theo's VA is Sakamichi from Yowamushi Pedal and Rekka from Gaist Crusher. |
| NO! Theo and Karen died. Great episode!!! |
 |
| I started watching this series, thinking that it would be a happy like, sisterly love thing where the go on an adventure or something... Hah nope. That ending though.. ;__; |
| Icon made by me ;v; If anyone wants to commission an icon like this, contact me at deviantART or isnowfairy7@gmail |
| Well shit... dat ending... dem feels. ;-; |
  |
| Wow.. did not expect that ending. TBH though I expect those kids to survive. If not, I'll be very surprised. I'd honestly prefer it if they did though since the way those kids embraced and whispered to each other at the end was just cruel T_T |
 |
| Wow.This episode was so sweet and touching in the beginning with Hozuki and Theo's interaction.Then dat ending.Poor Theo and Karen ;.;.Atleast they died embracing each other. ED seemed out of place this episode,2 kids just died and first thing I heard is a happy ass cheerful song. |

| A bit rushed this episode but still gave me the feels.. I hope somehow they survived D: |

| this episode was so sad, it had a really bitter taste, didn't expect that >: |
| noooo, I hope Theo x Karen survived ^^ such a nice couple |
 |
| well that was hearth warming |
| Beautiful episode, yet it was fucking sad. Didn't see that coming, i thought Hozuki would be able to save them.. ;___; I grew fond of Theo and Karen, story of childhood friends in love is always my weakness, so it was devastating to see them had to die that way. Moreover, she already had problem walking with a cane, and that piece of glass screwed her even more. Theo decided to stay with her, and i was guessing in that final moment where their voice is muted, he said something like "Happy birthday"? that would make it more depressing .__. though at least they were smiling and together till the end. I hope Hozuki can learn something and become stronger after seeing all those events. Man, i love Galilei Donna <3 |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| This is a strange show. Sometimes, it's horribly silly and seems like the writers ignored common sense when they wrote the scripts. Other times, it's really damn good - like that ending there. It was unexpectedly bittersweet. HMMMMMMMMM. |
| Damn you science you are giving me the feels. |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| First episode with actual feels and consistency to it. Did they seriously kill those kids? They better be alive later in the show or I'll be sad. |
 |
| Dammit! Theo should have carried her and continue to run! Damn Feels! |
| Woah, what a way to have a birthday go. D: I only thought the kids would get separated and one of them would have to go with the girls to rescue the other. But you know how it goes, I'm still skeptical without bodies even with an explosion like that. |
 |
| aww.. I feel for Theo and Karen in the end :( At least, they were smiling.. But wow.. that NECKLACE! O.O |
| Did not expect that to happen. At least we wont have to hear Theo scream Ludgar every few minutes anymore. |
| God damnit, they're in The Netherlands and there is no weed?! Best episode so far though, and damn the baka writer. Keeps introducing good characters every episode just to get rid of them in the same episode! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Oh my God, this episode and the feels...! I cried. I knew something really bad was on the way, I had a HUGE hunch because of the telescope and the whole atmosphere, it was kind of ominous. (you know, Theo was saying he would give it to Karen and I could see some uncertainty in that, dunno...) I was prepared and I was like "Oh, hell no, they're definitely not going to do that, no..." and then... boom. There they go, killing those children. Whyyyyyyy...? ( ;C;) |

I somehow doubt it, because when they were embracing, the bomb seemed to approach them really fast and it seemed really close, so I can't imagine they could make it through that alive... but let's hope they are! It'd be relieving! |

Amaryllis-chan said: Yeah, I had a feeling too. I don't really know what it was, but just when Theo smiled at Hozuki, it just gave me a vibe like he would probably die. Honestly I didn't find it as moving as it could've been, though... I mean I shed a tear, if only for the fact that I'm so weak to honorable deaths like that, but I dunno why it didn't have all that much feels for me.Oh my God, this episode and the feels...! I cried.

| That was really sad, seeing them getting bombed like that. |

symbv said: A serious second half that somehow did not resonate with me. parfaited said: I felt nothing. +1 I felt nothing too, wonder why people said that it was sad -.- I wonder if they could just focus on Galileo's inheritance instead of making a little side story (while still conveniently connected to the location of the inheritance). Random Theo is random, random Karen is random. The whole point is to tell us how bad that company is. Those melodrama, rushed and everything.. The only part where I liked was when Theo said something to Karen and they both smiled in their last moment, that was kinda sweet and a little sad. Considering to drop this show now, but maybe.. just maybe.. I should give this another episode. Edit: This is just like Coppelion, well almost. First episode was the best, then it's getting worse by every episode, and it feels like it's not advancing at all. |

| Nicely done episode I guess. Sad they had to die |
 |
| Why'd they have to die :< But yeah I didn't really feel anything..they need to get back to the story, not that I am not enjoying this. Hozuki ♥~ |
| A little bit sad, but didn't feel to much, wonder if they really died but seemed like it. |
| Really wasn't expecting that kind of ending, Theo and Karen's story was a dishearteningly tragic. That aside though, the main story itself seems a bit underwhelming still. I wonder what that red light that surrounded Hozuki was all about. |

JoksPacifist said: Oh Umetsu what are you doing ? Sthap T.T Right? I thought the kids had no chance of dying until I remembered Umetsu is directing. Kite came to mind, and I figured they were done for. Ten minutes later, tada! |
 Vengeance of everyone's grudge. "I didn't add it to my list so I forgot I was watching that." - lpf |
| lol these people going against that big company just reminds me AVALANCHE from final fantasy 7. For the rest, again boring kid's story, nice visuals and really sad ending. Nice episode overall, but I hope this show will be better soon. If it's not too late yet. |
