| 3/5 Liked this episode way better than the last. That's a pretty damn good team with a guy who can remember everything no matter what and a girl who can reset time. In this episode we got to see how well their abilities can work together by resolving an issue. Unfortunately, experimenting the reset ability has a major flaw. Not everything will happen exactly how it did before. It's unfortunate that Souma ended up dying cause I actually like her. I'm hoping to see her again somehow. The town is full of people with abilities, I'm sure there is one that revives her or an ability that faked her death or whatever. Who knows, supernatural genres typically has a lot of abilities that can be considered "ass pulls". Anyways, much better than the first. My main gripe is still with the two main leads in Haruki and Asai. They are both far too soft spoken to my liking and even though Haruki is starting to show more emotion, it still makes it a little hard to watch. Sucks that Souma is gone considering that she had the most personality and isn't as bland as the others. Some parts of this legitimately feels like I'm listening to a podcast rather than watching a series. |

Chiyousagi said: Make that impossible instead. Remember the reset ability has a restriction to it. 3 days/72hrs. So episode 1 scene where soma jumps off is between aug 12 and aug 14. When in episode 2 they decided to help mari and reset, that scene from episode 1 got reset along with it. Then on aug 31, soma talks to kei in the raining bus stop scene cuz jump off bridge scene from episode 1 didn't take place. Hmmm, I see! Yeah, that's why I put "(probably)" since the scene appeared but I didn't know the context and in the second episode it happened in the 31st. It could be a scene of what would happen if they didn't reset that timeline or a scene from another timeline @-@ I gonna fix that, thanks :) |

| This is very strange series. On one hand there were some good emotional parts in this episode, like the one with mother and daughter, on the other hand their logic is flawed as when they were talking about laws of robotics when Kei implied she was human based on her third rule. It definitely should cross his mind that someone could make her follow such directive by the programming? There was no clear implication for such statement. And so on, and on, there were other contradicting things which is bad when this show is based on logic. Also, I don't like the scene when Kei was lecturing Shintarou in the park, threatening him at that. Come one, it's high-schooler against an adult and yet he was talking with him down like parent would his child with his self-invited and righteous attitude to force solve that problem. Yet he was saying before he lacks any righteousness, another contradiction. What's more, the kiss, the death and the timeskip together in just one episode is too much (the second one at that, meaning there was a very little time for viewers to grow any emotional attachments to Sumire for that her death to have any impact). With 22 more episode in store I honestly don't understand where this show is heading. But main main problem with this series is that they don't act as normal humans would do, it simply doesn't feels real. There is no way your ordinary highschoolers would care for such things. It may be that they are both androids and this city is just testing/learning area for them to create situation for them to be able to live in the real live but it still feels very artificial and contrieved no matter what. And they should probably lead us, viewers into thinking they are real humans for this to have any impact later. So far, they didn't do the best job. |
| So this starts the main mystery now, why Soma didn't went to Kei's house instead went already to the bridge and fell, then on the next morning her corpse found, after the reset. I guess Soma's ability played a big part with it, her ability wasn't revealed, so I'm curious with her ability. Still I got a main problem with the show, its so tone down, that it makes me bored but still can't stop to watch cause I find the show interesting. |

| Interesting episode Mari's problem was a complex one but im glad that it was resolved successfully Im also glad that Haruki and Kei were able to bond and understand each other though. Though im surprised about what happened to Soma though. Its also nice that Haruki is starting to slowly develop feelings of her own though. Hmm so the little girl that Haruki has been taking care off is a fake just as she said she was. Hmm so the grief of losing her daughter the mother developed the ability Hmm so the bureau is the agency that manages ability users im guessing. Can't believe that Mari's mother just left though. But i guess its hard for both parents to accept the clone as their real daughter Happiness for the greater good over the happiness of one person eh. It is a mess though a fact that even the officer from the bureau knows as well Its a complex question with no right answer to it really unfortunately. Still its nice that Kei is trying to get an understanding of things though. Giving Haruki was choice was an interesting move though as it will allow her to learn from the decision. Logically giving Mari to the bureau is the right choice but compassionately another choice could have worked. No one other than Kei can help change Haruki though. Its interesting to see Kei trying to provoke some sort of feeling in Haruki though. This situation is a good chance to use reset and create feeling within Haruki though. Its nice that they plan to stop this event from happening though. But it seems that the bureau's rule is absolute within the town. Haruki's life really does revolve around rules eh. But then again without Rules society would collapse. So its a good thing. Hmm so Haruki's first rule is that her ability usage must not bother anyone meaning that she can't help in every event. Hmm so her third rule is the most interesting one though. Kinda reminds me of the three laws of robotics though which i think is the point. The difference between a android and a human is emotion so her third rule proves that she's human because of that rule. In a way due to her personality Haruki really is the definition of a good girl since she has neither a attitude problem or malice of any kind. Its funny that Kei is contradicting himself though just like Soma said. Hmm i dunno what to think of Soma at this point though. But Kei's goal of turning Haruki into a normal girl that has emotions and feelings is a admirable goal. Lol contacting the agent with a message that appeared in his mind. Interesting ability actually. Wow thats one way of forcing someone to grant you permission that they are not supposed to have the authority to do. But man thats pretty dramatic. But i guess it shows how determined Kei is to save Mari though. But its nice that it worked though. Its an interesting ability though. Handy way of communication though too bad its only one way. Its nice that they are confronting this problem at the source though. While the mother also has her own reasons for leaving her leaving also hurts Mari as well even though the mother wanted to stop hurting her. Its a complex problem unfortunately. The real Mari wasn't even allowed to be born and have a life while the clone was. The central point here is love of course. Its cool that they are able to allow the mother to experience the memories of that time though. Memories are far more useful and effective than mere words. Its a nice combo though using the message in mind and Kei's ability to allow the mother to hear the true feelings of Mari. Its nice that in the end that the mother realized the error of her ways though. Hmm so it seems that Kei also a tragic memories that she doesn't want to remember eh. In a way Kei was similar to Mari and her mother then in that both were in similar situations. Its nice that both Kei and Haroki are slowly changing due to being near each other though. Haruki actually looks nice with short hair as well lol. Its nice that Haruki is now trusting Kei though and that she has developed her own feelings as well. I think its a good idea that Kei didn't accept Haruki's feelings straight away as she did after all just gain feelings. Letting her learn more about them is the best route for now. Hmm wow never expected Soma would be killed this early in the series. And that the last time that they met her was that day where they solved the case of Mari. So Haruki and Kei are now partners eh. 2 years later both are now high school students eh. |

| only 2 episode but it alrd has 2years time skip? ARE YOU SERIOUS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I NEED MY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR THOSE 2 YEARS sorry. |
| Meh. Dunno why people are spazzing on this. The plot is dry as hell and the characters are dull. In general, the show is boring. Dropping it. |
 |
| So, will this show go Erased and they will save best girl or can I drop it? |
 |
| Better, but still emotionless as ever... The replicants from Blade Runner have more emotions than these characters. The overall dialog between them hasn't changed either; it's still awkwardly unnatural. I honesty cannot feel anything while watching this, which is a bad thing. I feel so indifferent to everything that happened during this episode that I feel bad. I still think the core concept is a good one thus my reason and interest to keep watching this (for the time being). |

Hound_dogs said: IKR,i remember the lengthy conversations of Araragi and the other characters in the Monogatari Series whenever Kei talks with Souma I really like creative use of superpowers in anime, slow pace (if well done) and NisiOisiN style dialogues, really good start, I give it an 8 for now but the rating may rise with time elior1 said: Lelouch0202 said: actully haruki asked the guy if he wants her to do a reset but he refusedThis episode was definitely better than the first and it wasn't half bad but the presentation still feels a little lacking, perhaps that's why I wasn't too impressed. It was pretty cool to see how Kei used everyone's powers to save Mari. The part where Mari says she loves her Mom and wants to live with her was really emotional. I was pretty surprised that scene actually got me since most of the time the presentation of the show feels a little emotionless. Totally did not expect Sumire's death, it came out of nowhere and I actually find the conversations she has with Kei interesting at times. Though I don't see why they couldn't have reset? Isn't the cooldown on Haruki's ability only day and she can reset to 3 days in the past, so why couldn't they have just waited a day and then reset? There was definitely a save point as well since they reset before this event happened. 2 year time skip now. I prefer Haruki with longer hair. :P He refused since they can't and it will be useless. They can't reset since they already used the last save state (you know the kiss) and you can't use a save state twice.It is also useless since even they haven't use the save state to erase the kiss and then proceed to reset after they have known Soma's death,she was (probably) already dead by that time. Iluz said: It is actually quite possible since she seems to know more than what she says outloud but we will see in the upcoming episodesJust putting it out here, but wouldn't Sumire's ability being "mind-reading" kind of solve a lot of the unanswered questions? At least when it comes to her not being affected by the reset - she's just reading Kei's memories every time. I'll suppose that this is why to her, visiting him for the second time before her death and giving him a second dramatic farewell would've been pointless for her. Also, if she was in love with Kei herself, it might've explained a bit about why it was painful for her to live once he fell for someone else and she could read it herself. |

| Yall seem to be enjoying this a lot more than I am. To me, the characters seem so dang lifeless that it bugs me. How do you talk about a girl whose dead and whose parents have left her with such massive lack of emotion. It bugs me. I guess I'm used to having only 1 character showing no emotions at all to a particular situation, so having an entire cast showing barely any change in their faces just turns me off. The side characters kind of make up for that, but they are only side characters. And then they have some pretty long and deep conversations, but with not much going on on screen, I'm just getting kind of bored reading it. I feel like this is an anime Shaft should have taken. Anyway, I'm dropping out here, I just ain't feeling this. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Once again I found this really interesting. ALSO THE ORAL CIGARETTES DID THE ED IT WAS AMAZING AND I LOVE IT YESSSSS And yea, those are my thoughts (i freaking love the Oral Cigarettes) |
| What a mess... on some level I don't understand at all it seems like this show should be interesting? But the presentation is flat, the pacing is awkward, and we keep getting boring exposition that doesn't even do the favor of exposing anything because there's so little context. I don't know one thing about the characters, their relationships, their motivations, or why I should care about anything that's going on. I love weird and unique methods of storytelling, but the writing is simply bland and confusing and the flat presentation doesn't inspire any confidence that the show is smart enough to eventually become cohesive. Gonna have to drop this one lol it's not keeping me interested. |

Piromysl said: So, will this show go Erased and they will save best girl or can I drop it? exactly my thoughts. Sumire Souma is listed as a support character but she is in the main picture of this anime, so there must be more to it i think. But i don't think they will start to investigate that accident/murder in the next couple episodes |
 Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. |
| I'm actually enjoying this so far despite the mixed reviews. And for some reason I feel like this isn't the end for Soma. |

| If you just would've watched the sunset with her she wouldn't have died... :( sad I really the short hair better too |

| How does the anime arrange the plot hmmm. Memory in Children is the third book, right? and Cat, Ghost and Revolution Sunday is the first one. anyway, ep2, why so early the tear-jerking scene nevertheless it was good tho |

Imbalanced said: Chiyousagi said: Nice in noticing this small detail, except it doesn't necessary refer to the same thing cuz you miss the small detail in episode 2. The dates. There is at least 2 weeks gap between episode 1 and episode 2(not including time accumulated from resetting) Therefore when soma appear for the last time in the raining bus stop scene, the jumping off bridge already doesn't happen. Of course it doesn't mean soma can't just choose to jump off the bridge on another day, but just pointing out the scene in episode 1 already is a "dead fork" so you can't exactly say you are right. Well I wouldn't assume that jumping scene happend in episode 1 timeline, because it's raining as fuck and 12 to 14 August seemed to beautiful sunny days Would be a shame if it rain every August night in their town lol Fair point. I do admit I went tunnel vision there. But if that scene isn't a chronological scene, and rather a randomly inserted one(an event that is at least 2 reset away), I must say the director definitely troll me hard. |
bastek66 said: taynis said: August 13th - Thursday, 8:15 PM - Third time Glass guy somehow remembers (IT IS A MIRACLE YAY). Maybe he used switching powers and absolute memory. Yeaah, unfortunately we can just assume. Kei did say that they tested it, but the scene was kinda rushed and looked really like "somehow he remembered yay" XD Buuut, maybe the character will appear again or something, not jumping into conclusions now hehehe |
|
| Man, I don't think I can take 24 episodes of this. I was really excited about this series when I heard about it but these two episodes were just so slow. |
 |
| This title had to be called Kuudere Paradise, I'm serious. Even Mahouka at one time was more alive, despite a bunch of static scenes and emotionless protagonist. |
 |
| Um... Actually anime is not bad, but something is missing. I mean, while i was watching the anime, the feelings on the characters were so empty. Yea the main girl and the boy don't feel so much but still it's annoying. I hope this will get better or I'll just drop. |

| This show definitely seems like it's going to be interesting. The first episode was pretty dull but this episode was enough to change my opinion. |

| Thank goodness for the forum to make sense of this. Time travel anime always leaves me a bit confused. Misora and Kei still seem very bland as main characters, Sumire at least was interesting. I really want to see her perspective of the first arc Sumire's death was kind of left field. Yet, you could kind of see it coming with her 'goodbye' to Kei. I think they've learnt a valuable lesson not to waste Misora's power for 'trivial' things. If they'd hadn't reset after the kiss maybe Sumire's death could have been prevented. There is no romance tag for this series? Should I not expect more? |
 |
| The lack of logic sometimes and this freaking emotionless speaking really bug me. I was about to drop the anime, but this ending really got my interest. |
| Smells fishy this "Souma death" :S , Love the Ending of this anime The Oral Cigarettes never fail to make good music! :P |
| Can some explain to me how Soma died ?! Why her behavior change when they reset ?! Unless she remembers what happened after reset, her behavior should not have changed 2nd time after reset |
| I guess this show will be similar for "Steins;Gate" where their ability will lead into a disaster future and soma death where the first sign I liked how much deep their feeling |
 |
| Now I'm starting to like it. :) Looks like the real story starts from here. Curious though as to why the chain of events changed at the second time. Did they mention what Soma's ability was? |

AlexTheRiot said: Jey-nii said: Not exactly sure since Kei's explanation was weird, but it sounded like he was saying they'd discovered Tomoki's message would be heard/remembered by the recipient even after a reset. But either way, Kei could have just showed Sakagami his own memories of Tsushima giving permission, the same way he did with Haruki in the episode. I am confused. As someone else asked previously, how did they get the cooperation of the guy with the transfer ability? I think it was explained but I didn't get it. Then, why did Soma die the second time? I suppose she didn't die the first time, since they would have known about her death. As far as Soma goes, it's simple. Haruki reset at the start of the episode(Saturday the 14th), which continued off where ep 1 left. Soma died that same day, but they never knew about it since they reset for Mari, the reset just happened to save Soma the first time. I think this is why Soma went out to the mountains, so that, in both iterations of her death, it would take time for her body to be found. She was leaving it up to Kei in a way. I'd say she even guided him to prevent her death from being reset the second time, seeing as the reason he had Haruki do the reset after their kiss was because of Soma giving him the idea that he loved her. Considering all this, she's gotta be the android, and there's also no way we don't see her again. Nice analysis there. Now there's that's probability. And maybe the "currently skipped" last part will have anything to do with that. |
