Well that was some reunion.

Poor Noel;.; Glad someone stepped in though to stop Tsubaki there. I also thought Noel looked nice with her hair down for once! Dat feels.

I just wish they hadn't interrupted the fight scene with other characters' appearances and dialogues, It would have been quite more epic with the dialogue-fight it out-dialogue-dialogue schema. Also Memory of Tears was interrupted by an inappropriate story "briefing" ost and was shorter than needed. But still not a bad episode.

The good:
-Relius being relius, Him and tsubaki seems like the only characters actually acting in character. And thats probably cause relius is barely in it
-Backgrounds were good
- ragna's intermission of the fight was a nice anime only thing that i kind of liked
-Hair down noel is the best noel, thats why i like her chronophantasma outfit more

The bad
-Everything else

-The pacing was some of the worst in the series so far, yet somehow this one had the problem of being too slow especially in the horrendous fight where everyone was somehow moving like a snail, at least when their body proportions werent morphing like play doh

-Why the hell would they choose to interrupt the fight with a billion other scenes instead of putting the fight all at once like any series with even a remote understanding of how writing works would.

- Again its saying words and phrases explained almost instantly in the game yet in anime have absolutely 0 context or explanation, and its throwing these around at every chance leaving anyone who hasnt played the game entirely in the dark. Oh wow a azure successor, that'd be so interesting if it was ever fucking explained

-Hazama, oh hazama what did they do to you, in the games you were such a funny asshole because you only lost your cool when you found things truly funny, you would always stay in a carefree manner pissing off every character you could, but this fucking anime makes you overuse you maniac terumi mode at every possible chance even when it doesn't make sense to.

Pretty bad episode, even with the terrible pacing its still no where near as bad as episode 1 2 or 5, but it was still pretty bad, 2/5

That wasn't so bad. I mean that short fight between Noel and Tsubaki was nice, also Ragna intervention was quite cool. Pleased to see angry Hazama.

And Lamb-chop next episode <3

Given the subject matter, I was expecting more Makoto. Just disappointed in her lack of screentime in an episode that should've been a spotlight for her.

But at least there was Relius.

Oh such an exquisite episode.

Hazama trolls so hard he even trolled his own VA, and the Cauldron ofc.

I'm lovin' the show right now, especially after getting more info from the games.

I glad they at least threw in ONE of Noel's attacks, even if they did animate it quite poorly.... Sadly though, the anime, they're just make her as wimpy as they can and I can't help but see her not even showing any of her actual moves in the future anymore until 'that' happens.

Lol'd at Hazama.

Wow, I hate Noel so much. Everyone has all these opportunities to kill her off and no one will, even when they're ordered to. Literally no luck here. Hopefully Hazama will take things into his own hands like he said and just... shove her in an egg shell and eat her alive or something.

its seriously like the studio has not a single person that actually played the game, Seriously aside from relius and tsubaki not a single character is staying even remotely consistent to how that act in the games, noel was kind of passive here and there but christ she wasnt this useless and had some actual backbone when she needed it. She also wasnt this fucking useless in a fight.

Tsubaki losing eyesight like a Sharingan user

The fight was tragic, but the mind manipulations on both sides
made it like 2 puppets on a string battling
It looked very stiff and Ragna butting in was even worse ending the attacks

Indeed. Good episode to throw Makoto into a fight but...
The fight and the drama would be more effective if camera wouldn't go left to right, showing other characters.

Seeing this I'm glad that we never got Guilty Gear anime.

well as much as i love guilty gear, im not gonna sugar coat it, its attempts at a story are fucking horrendous, worse than this anime's attempt to tell a story. Its so very clearly not thought out and they have no clue where to take it. It'd only be good for a movie or a ova where they could have godly fights in beautiful animation

Ehh, Hazama seemed a bit out of character this episode. Pulled out too much Terumi maniacal laughing which should be saved for his appearance in ChronoPhantasma.

My memory of the game is clearly seeping out of my head. I thought Makoto stopped the two of them and not Ragna. And that was idiotic; "Are you two gonna fight?" Well no shit Ragna, they were already doing that before you butt in between them.

Lamb-derp next episode, whee.

And the whole crying thing made me think of that one scene in ChronoPhantasma. Lol.

So it looks like Ragna finally realizes who Noel is.

Still don't really like how the plot is set up with certain people or beings that are able to control time and events.

This episode entertained me more than the usual. Noel vs. Tsubaki, then Hazama being madly insane when provoking Tsubaki... and Ragna intervening in the fight.

But when you decide to "talk" to their weapons, and acts enough. But here, as always, you beat around the bush; sin! ^ ^ "
Drawings insufficient, the plot even more messed up; how can you tell me pleasure to 100%?
Oh well it's not bad, but if you're not a fan of the series, everything that has been told is a mystery.
