A lot better than the previous two episodes, it seems Squealer was alright after all. Since he helped them and all, as well as the other leader. I'm glad the kids met back up, but it's too bad their attempt to trick the adults apparently didn't work.

Excited for the time skip, hopefully the series has found it's legs again.

I was nervous for the whole episode. There is just so much mystery and tension that it feels like anything can happen at any moment.

Prepare yourself because that feeling will significantly increase near the 20th episode.

Finally I got a satisfying explanation for how Saki could use the mantra to get powers back. It's basically hypnosis and self suggestion under the cover of mantras and buddhist chanting.

I wonder what the punishment for their actions will be.

Brilliant episode and easily the best yet. Even gave me the chills when those larvae were coming out.

I don't understand how the ethics committee even found out about what happened, though? Who would've told them? At first I thought it was for a different reason that monster rat general said he would be executed for helping them, but the final scene indeed implies their village knows.

just saying: it would take twice as much energy to reverse the trajectory of a boulder than the energy it took to launch it; the energy needed to negate the boulder's velocity + the energy needed to throw it back.

that riverbank reunion was rather random really
ummm going back to the village is pretty much a death wish at this point, no?

i hope they actually give it reason, because while it may have just been me that scene with Satoru and Saki in that crappy animated episode seemed misplaced to me.

you don't pay attention to the story at all, do you?

Maybe if the story weren't so convoluted it would be easier to pay attention to.

I find it kind of strange their cantus is stored away, but their memories of writing it somewhere isnt ... or even the fact they had it in the first place.

Glad the general decided to help them though, maybe a thanks for their help with the colony and all.
Looks like big trouble next episode.

So they have strong suspicions that the Ethics Committe's ordered their disposal, yet they still look foward to going back and try to trick the adults into believing that nothing's happened? What nonsense is this?

They didnt know for sure, allthough it was highly likely.
Also I doubt they know what else to do, they dont have anywhere else to go as they've never been away from their hometown.

If I had strong suspicions that a shady, all-powerful organization that's been getting rid of/murdering unfit children for decades? was coming after me, I would get my psychic powers that allow me to hunt/build/mend things back and then leave. At least start asking questions. I could understand if they had a hard time believing/actually processing what happened since it was a traumatic experience and they would rather be in denial (their lack of reaction to people disappearing also seems to hint at something deeper than mere indoctrination) but this isn't shown very clearly - if at all. Maybe the novel did a better job explaining the characters' state of mind.

Yeah right... Saki can't remember her own mantra but she can remember the whole fkn ritual?
They better start explaining some stuff in the next eps cause this is hurting my brain...

And the pacing in this episode is done just completely wrong. The ep starts with those 2 in the war, throwing rocks at the enemy in an unknown place miles and miles away from everywhere... and ends with them already at home?
It's like they had to cut some parts in order to fit everything in 20 minutes. Those transitions/timelapses from diferent locations were also pretty frustrating, at least for me...

So why is it that Satoru needed to be hallucinating to have his mantra restored but everyone else was able to get them back just fine, no questions asked? If it was a case of just being told your mantra then there was no reason for Shun to not be able to start using his straight away since he remembered it.

But if they have to be hypnotised in order to undo the Priest's hypnosis, just going home and reading a diary isn't going to do anything, surely?

How did you manage to reduce the entire plot into population control? Really? Pretty sure there's a lot more to it than simple population control.

This was a strange episode. My favorite part was "hey, we're gonna secretly use our mantras to snatch our powers back from those mean old monks, let's celebrate by throwing plumes of fire visible for miles into the night sky! That'll show 'em!"

4/5 just because we appear to be done with rats for the time being.

The end of an Adventure...right? Ep 7.

Plot: The enemy is many and Satoru's power is limited. And some close calls are made as Squear questions the God's powers. But then a badass Kiroumaru appears and saves the day. And then he talks about taking the young of the enemy and giving some to Squear's group as slaves/workers. Um...

ANyway, the group meets up again(what were they doing at that time) and manage to find a way to get their powers back to cover up their secret. Time will tell if it works.

Characters: Satoru takes the role of leader-esque this time since he's figured the problems that come with their newfound allies. I was confused on why Saki seemed so...naive on it. Maybe she is still in denial?

Squear and Kiroumaru are...problematic. Squear was already sketchy from the beginning but Kirou's words on the larvae just raises goosebumps.

Shun shown again with his writing of his mantra down and remembering it. THough it does raise two questions: Why did the others not do this? And if things are so peaceful and stuff that the kids wouldn't need to do that, why did Shun? WHat is he hiding?

Animation/sound: The battle was cool for what it was worth. ANd the reunion and SHun's bonfire was such a great reunion piece.

4/5. CLosing an arc with many plots and developments. Where does the New world go from here?

Saki and Satoru reunited with the others and they also restored their cantus.

This was a great arc and I'm curious how the story will continue from here.

Finally this arc is over! They manage to survive the queerat attack, and the general guy even let them live. I totally thought Squealer sold them out again and was gonna get them killed lol (though I guess that makes no sense, of course they wouldn't die at episode 7 lol). Either way they are reunited with the other 3, and they get home safely and all get their powers back again. Satisfying end to this arc I guess with the colony getting wiped out :P Looks like we get a timeskip to next episode when they are back in the village ... I wonder what kind of consequences happen? Or if we'll even find out :P

Wait, do Saki and the others really thing the Ethics Committee will let them off the hook for breaking the Code of Ethics? Why are they not at all anxious about people in Kamisu 66 disposing of them? Are they relying on "Death Feedback"? You know adults can just get the copycats to do the job for them. This is a rather untimely timeskip, ignoring all those questions and moving on.

How convenient for them to meet up just like that.

The only reason that Kiroumaru is helping them probably is because he was saved earlier by Satoru.

The general is really nice after all. There must be a reason why he helped Saki and others escape even though his life was at risk doing that. I'm glad that they were able to escape, though.

A time skip of 2 years, huh? I wonder how much they have changed in these 2 years. A lot, probably. Saki (the narrator) said herself that kids go through a lot of change within a short amount of time.
