| My reaction: What??? How will they resolve all the plotlines? I mean at least we got to know who Frill is. |
| I loved the first episode and ever since, every episode made me take the anime less and less seriously until episode 9. The last 3 episodes have been the best and I wasn't expecting it to get so dark, which I love because the moe had me fooled for a sec. I don't know if one more episode will be enough to wrap things up but now I have more confidence in the writing. |
Dina707 said: My god........ That episode was straight up madness I got chills when Frill threw the hair blower on the bath, then again when Acca threw Frill to the basement and then again when Acca's daughter did the lip thing Such a memorable episode that flipped the whole plot |
| Ura and Acca are such terrible people totally ignoring the daughter they created. What's up with the mouth popping sound? When I first heard it, it reminds me of that tongue clicking from Hereditary. |
 |
| Yess, I loved this episode. I was so reluctant to watch episode 11 because the last episodes took a different turn and there were things I found to be dumb, but man, the backstory of Acca and Ura-Acca was so amazing. Frill was cute and everything was great at the beginning but what a dark turn it took. Especially Himari, that scene was a nightmare. So Friell was basically jealous but nobody knows if those were her emotions or just inputs as Acca told her when she killed Azusa. I don't know how everything will end in one episode because there are still a lot of questions, mainly what happened after, who are those weird creatures and also where is Frill now. Hoping for a great ending. |

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| We know who the weird creatures are: they're "sisters" Frill made, with Ura-Acca's help I believe. |

Sisyphusson66 said: Frill went full Lain by the end? Part of me thinks that the whole "temptation of death" and Frill directly or indirectly causing these suicides is a matter of wishful thinking and hope on the part of the Accas. A way to simplify it to the point where if you stop Frill, then suicides stop, or at least go way down. Frill seems like she purposefully engages Urra-Acca for attention near the end. But on the other hand, I wonder how Dot and Hyphen get into the egg dreams. Surely it must be Frill, but then there is the question of why they only show up after the "mission is cleared"? What is Frill's interest? Or is she just a psychotic AI? I think this episode was absolutely brutal, and on its own, very strong. My one real worry is that there is so much left to cover, and so much that probably won't get any exploration (i.e. Rika's reaction to Dot), and clearly not a lot of time left in the series. I still don't understand how "wishful thinking" connects Frill and the "temptation of death". What does AI have to do with human standards such as "wishful thinking", or do you mean it a supernatural sense? Because at this point, that would make much more sense. |

| I actually like this story, but it doesn't fit in the show. A show about suicide, mental health, all that, suddenly becoming some sci-fi horror with every suicide having been provoked by a psychopathic robot girl who thinks she is in Serial Experiments Lain obviously rubs me the wrong way. Now I see why people are mad at it (I'm not though, just disappointed and frustrated). I feel like they should've separated the two stories, making one show about magical girls attempting to save the souls of suicide victims and another about the tragic story of two men creating a psychopath in an attempt to make the perfect daughter, forgetting she's not human. Both concepts are great, but not mixed together. (And in Frill's case, only the concept is good, because the actual result... Uh... The more I think about it, the less it makes sense.) But well, let's see how it all ends. I'm still curious to know which direction it will take. |

| That was quite a twisted backstory. Frill is kinda creepy. But I feel bad for her. Even after getting married, both of them shouldn't have neglected Frill like that. And the way Acca was beating Frill looked so painful. Her jealousy seemed justified for her age. But then Acca being furious was natural too. It would have been better if Frill didn't bottle her feelings like that and instead had a loud emotional breakdown, that way Acca and Ura-acca would definitely have tried to mend things in some way. Frill was an AI so I guess having that kinda emotional breakdown isn't possible for her. Did Frill like one of them in a romantic way tho? Himari confessing and proposing to Ura-Acca like that felt more creepy to me than anything else :-D How come no one noticed anything when Frill was bringing those cables and computers...? What's this Hyphen and Dot that they mentioned? That overused lip thing was annoying and it's still ringing in my head. I wanna know how Frill controlled Himari like that and is Frill really gone/dead? Or is she the source of everything that's happening like what that Kiki was in ID:Invaded? So, Acca and Ura-acca started researching about “Temptation of Death” and started this Wonder Egg thing to stop early suicides of children? This Wonder Egg thing seems really useless to me you can't bring them back to life or even learn about their reason for committing suicide. What's the point of all this? You get to see them for like a few seconds, is that it? At this point it's all like a virtual VR game or something. We are not supposed to know about their reason of committing suicide unless they left a note, all we can do is just guess the reason. If Frill is the one causing all this then she must be stopped but if they were actual feelings of the suicide victims then just leave them be. This kind of slice of life and psychological with a mixture sci-fi in it doesn't go well together. Acca and Ura-acca should have their own separate story. |

| This whole background story of Acca and Ura-Acca was extremely shocking and dark. Only I have some speculations there. The main speculation or something that was more solid than speculation: the anime was about how to accept the death of loved ones and move on. Going through all the stages of mourning. The purpose of the anime is that girls can better understand death and suicide so that they can resist this temptation. Now, with this possible past of Acca and Ura-Acca: The two may be in the denial part of death, they being the ones who created the AI that killed his wife and supposedly killed his daughter. He robbed them of all happiness for something that they themselves created. With all this, they went on a “crusade” to correct their mistakes. Maybe Frill isn't even behind it all, but they can't accept that sometimes people commit suicide. Therefore, Acca and Ura-Acca may be lying to manipulate Ai, and she will face this possible "villain". Moving on to the most basic speculation: Frill giving them a final push, a "Temptation of Death". With Frill as the “big villain”, I think the anime will be too simplistic and will fall into the old science fiction cliché of “don't give emotions to Ias”. I would lose a lot of points with me if it were just that. I hope it is only a bait for a more surprising ending. In fact, Momo and Rika are now too afraid to fight, so it's just Neiru and Ai who can fight Frill. |
| Frill: First Replicant & Iwakura Lain Lite The backstory was really cool on its own but not sure if it's connected well enough to the main plot |
| This has to be the best episode. Completely forgot I was still watching WEP and got instantly invested in it. |
   |
| This, unironically, might be one of my favorite episodes in anime. I did not expect that twist -- maybe because it was so poorly foreshadowed, which is, I reckon, its own criticism, but fuck foreshadowing if it steals from me the excitement of surprise --and for the first time the series' themes genuinely, profoundly resonated with me. I'm having Mirai Nikki syndrome with this shit. The elements I hate irk me beyond imagination, but there's also so much here to love. |

| Wow... I feel you Rika, that was scary. And then we have Wholesome Backstory ended up with Dark Twist... My jaw dropped when Frill throw that Hairdryer into the air. WTF 😱 WEP successfully made lip pop sounds so creepy and terrifying. |
 |
| This show is completely messed up. That was disturbing. |
  🔥 🔥 🔥 . 阿良々木 暦, 傷 物 語 . 🔥 🔥 🔥 Build a man a fire and you'll warm him for a night but set a man on fire and you'll warm him for the rest of his life... - H E N D Y - |
| Wait so is Frill driving all these random girls to kill themselves? Or is the only one she influenced Acca's daughter? |
 |
| This actually scared me. Like I found the story so unnerving I actually felt scared, like a constant foreboding despairing feeling- fear. I think this is the first time an anime has ever scared me (so ironic how this anime isn't even in the horror tag yet its the first to work as a horror for me) |
| Thanks for the PTSD from hearing popping lips I guess. Intruiging yet also quite messed up episode how the artifically created Frill ruined it all with her jealousy, best episode so far in my opinion. I really wish this was a 24-cour considering they introduced a damn important backstory while almost all questions still unanswered and only one episode left... |
 |
| So what's up with that fetish of those familiars killers to feed these familiars to girls?.. Does it have any purpose, or just their sadistic fetish, and that's it?.. So.. Some Frill was created.. Got jealous and stuff over her dad not showing her enough attention.. Killed his wife.. Then got dragged and left into basement by him.. Somehow survived.. And somehow made some network which stimulates people sometimes to commit suicide?.. Something like that?.. Not sure, how wonder eggs are opposing this.. |
| So now we know why the whole wonder egg thing started. Also, watching those girls that Frill made kill and feed the familiars to the girls is so just.. gross and upsetting to watch, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I was told the final episodes of this are bad, but so far so good. However, like everyone else is saying, I'm wondering how they're gonna resolve all the plotlines in one episode. Especially since they just revealed a very important backstory. |
| I hate this anime. It already has a horrible development, it still has to do heavy things to give more impact on its lack of a good development. |
| Basically, a jealous AI is causing suicides! But the most imporant thing is this: how in the hell can this show conclude itself in two episodes? |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 I believe in freedom of expression. |
| I didn't expect that kind of episode. I must say I was positively surprised by that fact, and also by the whole Acca and Ura-Acca's backstory (how was it like and how was it presented, etc.). After such episode I'm quite intrigued about the final episode of the show, and I'm wondering about what to expect in it. |
| holy moly that's a lot of infos to chew on also a lot of morality problems.. I hope last episode will give us answers! |
| That was a very terrifying, despairing and disgusting episode. What's more disgusting is how I enjoyed the story telling... I don't know if I should pity Frill's circumstances or the other two but I'm more into Frill's since the two of them made her out of fun is really tragic and despairing thing to watch. For me, it's more like the two didn't really programmed her well from an AI standpoint, even IF they were highly recognized that they could create an AI... but if they failed at some aspect, they already failed to do their job and duty... their responsible for teaching Frill and not neglecting her as an object, even a normal child depraved of the attention of their parents would do so in their time of need and in the brink of despair. Frill was actually implying something like the three of them should be enough as a family but because they, you know, added someone and also impregnated someone to have a child... etc etc etc! Man, this episode is really messed up! I can't take this anymore! SIGH!!! |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Holy shit the starting part was creepy af. What a mind boggling end, what an episode. Got to say the execution was so good, the hair dryer part literally made me scared to keep watching, I paused when AI was going to throw the hairdryer and had to prepare myself for a few minutes to continue watching. Never thought a lip-kiss-something noise could be this terrifying to hear. 10/10 episode. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I have got shivers in my body and I am crying. What was that, what is that supposed to mean. Are we heading in the same direction as we improve on the AI each passing day. Recently a Google Engineer claimed that his AI was sentient, it possessed emotions. That Engineer was fired. I can't and I dont want to connect the dots... |
| aight this was easily the best episode Not @ people blaming Ura and Acca calling them terrible parents for "ignoring" Frill 💀 yall gotta be sick in the head fr...... they weren't even ignoring her to begin with, one of them just got married and she just decided to throw a tantrum on her own in the most disgusting, despicable way by literally killing his wife (and nearly the baby). How the f where you expecting them to act?? "oh its alright kiddo, shit happens" ???? lmao please get some sense not an ounce of sympathy for her |
 |
| A few episodes before this one, they said that the power ups would be temporary. I thought that they had a limited life span, and would just peacefully die, but letting them get brutally murdered is so much more creative! Holy shit that scene where Frill killed Azusa and then got treated like she should was amazing. |
| Well then, that was an episode and a half for sure. So much information and backstory. What a tragic story for the Acca's honestly. Not sure if Frill was actually the reason for Himari's death or at least not all the other suicides that have been happening With some people you will just never understand their reasoning for it or even get a hint of it before it's too late. |
 |
| Oh geez. That backstory was really dark. I feel bad for Acca's wife and daughter :( |
