I expected yobanashi deceive, outer science then summertime record. Honestly I'm disappointed.

The cover was good but the cgi animation.. eh.

Graffiti Rangers was nice.

Hoping there'll be a second season with Outer Science and Yobanashi Deceive episodes. I read from somewhere that Jin said that Kuroha would appear quite a lot but I don't know whether that's true or not.

I seriously need to read more about Kenjiro.

And still not enough Seto.

Although Otsukimi Recital has one of my favorite PVs I can't see how they'll fit it in now.

Will probably rewatch some of the last episodes again later.

I think they might be trying to push for a new season somehow, as summertime record makes much more sense as a last episode, and children record could be trying to introduce that the end is only the start?
I think SHAFT will retouch everything up for the dvd release like they always do, but airing a series at an alpha stage just turns most people off and is kinda lazy

Intro made me laugh, the episode made me almost cry and the ending had my jaw draw. Love this episode and after manga leaving me in the dark this is some great development, or is it ? T_T)

The little Ayano was cute. It was nice to hear about Ayano's past. I felt bad for her, that her mother had passed away.

D; I was looking forward to those two songs. The CG was very unexpected, but the cover was beautiful.


Wait wait wait. So you're telling me that Children Record is the last episode? Which is basically the opening song of the entire Kagerou Project series??

Season 2 ?? :D

Hey the songs are different; I agree, but there are some good ones. I LOVED Yuukei Yesterday. Omg that one was so good. LiSA did a great job on that one. This cover wasn't so bad either. It may not be what people expected, but it's not bad

And it's great that a lot was cleared up in this episode

As said already, I don't even at that opening. I was worried the rest of the episode was going to be like that..

Good ep though, kind of disappointed we're not getting an outerscience episode but moon-viewing recital/summer time record should be good.
Two more to go.

I'm slightly surprised at the very mediocre stats for the poll for this episode. I thought it was quite good... sure the OP was weird, but it wasn't horrible, and the rest of the episode felt nicely done, and cleared a whole bunch of things. Suspense n intrigue were nicely built in this episode, and Ayano's story was nice.

The only reason I can think of why ppl hated this episode was bcos they were totally disgusted with the song that was adapted... as to whether they were disgusted bcos the adaptations did not meet their expectations (which could've been too high or too narrow) or whether it was bcos the song was way better and evoked more feels (like kagerou days, which I agree was not as amazing in the anime compared to the original song), I can't tell bcos I didn't watch this parricular song... I honestly think it was a decent OP, and the CG was jus a an annoyance that didnt really ruin my experience...
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

the story begins to make some sense, but still has much to explain
in this episode gave to see how Ayano is cute, I'm curious to see the reaction of Shintaro in the next episode
entering the final straight of the anime, I hope all the doubts are clarified going forward and has a good ending, it will surely be one of the best of the season
will be possible to be a happy ending for everyone?

Laughing forever at that CG opening. It was totally distracting -- I could not stop thinking about it as the important back-story stuff was going on. Geez.
Glad some explanations are coming in, and also that the CG did not last the whole episode.

that opening... was like an mmd of Aku no Hana

The cover was beautiful, but not as amazing as Yumeko's cover.

THIS WAS A GIANT INFO DUMP
I learned so many new things in this episode. It was so nice. Though they never showed how Ayano came to be in the Daze/alternate universe.... eh.
I still really enjoyed this episode, kid Kido is adorable and we learned a lot about Ayano's mother. I thought Kano and Ene would be off on the wrong foot... but they still seem like good buddies. Kano knowing where Takane's body is though.. kimochi warui...

What was happening with that CG. I couldn't stop laughing god. They ruined it for me, I ws supposed be be sad not laugh my ass off. Aside from that it was a good episode. I just wished they had done the rest/best part of the song (without CG).

The line art for those drawings were beautiful though. Every different drawing was unique and overall stunning.

I think the CGI was used to portray Ayano's childhood innocence. The CG had the very childish cartoony kind of feeling to it and I feel like they felt that was the best way to portray her innocence as a child. (not saying they handled it the best way possible, just that they may have thought that was the best way)

This is certainly a show that grows on you! It's slowly pulling me into its web of complexities, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. In that regards, this was a fantastic episode. It answered some questions, and asked more, much like a good show should!

The opening song was beautiful and very fitting for the series. The animation was a rather odd choice though. It might be to try and match the lyrics to the mouths better.

Good god what did they do to the song sequence? I would have much preferred if they had just put in the actual MV

I do like the mind blowing info as the puzzle comes together, but I can smell the pace quickening/rushing because that was a dump of info. I like the pace it had so far, it would make me sad if they had to speed up and gloss over things.

This episode was okay~ Showed some insights to their father's power. Never thought he'd be the "snake". Strange episode. The beginning song telling their story was really unique in a way. I can't say i disliked it nor can I say i really liked it. Hopefully in the last few episodes we can actually see some romance and people meeting the ones they love. Oh and the last part about the cyborg girl seeing her own body (it was her own body right?) was kind of wow O.o 4/5 from me~

I actually don't mind how SHAFT is producing the storyline (._.)
They made it pretty easy to understand, while keeping that whole "mind-blowing-plot-twist" aspect intact, like in the original series :p

Ayaka showed up. Okay, I loved "Ayano's Happiness Theory's anime vocals but...

Shaft (and Jin)! What the hell you guys did to my Ayano???!!! I am losing my hopes completely in this adaptation...

I did find the rest of episode interesting. I am pretty sure now that Ayano was Kano's first love/ crush and that's why he said that he didn't want to see Shintarou while disguised as Ayano. And they found Takano's body... God, this could be soooo amazing....

I thought it was fine aswell... Maybe Sidonia no Kishi inoculated me to CG anime.

I would think that as well, but I still REALLY didn't like the opening, even though the it working with the song made it really wonderful.

This whole series has a real strong grasp on alternative styles of art and I am only now just understanding parts of the story. There seems to be something ominous here.

and wow the OP was horrrrible. not only was the animation terrible (u could do better on the SIMS but it was pretty inaccurate too, like kido's hair was NOT that long back in the past, it was short like it showed later on. i though these animated versions were supposed to be BETTER than the original PV -.- such a shame, its my favorite song too

but other than that this ep was great story-wise, lots of explanations and stringing the different characters' stories together

The opening to this ep was pathetic. (for a professional company anyway.) It was like they took a long weekend with MMD and called it good enough. Just..... what??? o_O"
I literally had to pause it after the opening sequence just to say "That was f***ing pathetic." (and during I was wondering what happened to their budget) before moving on with the ep. For a little while I had dreaded that they had somehow blew their budget and the rest of the ep would be that poorly animated CG crap, but thankfully it wasn't. (Say what you will about the animation in the series, but it is better than the intro to this ep.)
