| Yes! IA sang Moon-Viewing Recital! Ene got her body back! Shintaro saves Ayano (and she cries ;_; )! The blindfold gang is complete! AND THE FINAL EPISODE WILL BE BASED ONN THE SUMMER TIME RECORD (the good ending timeline) Hopefully IA sings the song or Jin himself. I only have high hopes for this final episode. GL Shaft Here comes the hype train! |

| So Ene got her body back. I got confused when I first watched that part. |
 |
| Shit that was good. I love all the characters and damn if i want a bad ending. Everything seems to go into the right way at least. I really hope for an awesome finale next week with everyone getting back together(well it almost happened this episode) and being lovey-dovey with each other :D Go go Shintaro bring Ayano back :3 |
 |
| Gotta love Shaft for skipping the parts on how Takane/Ene got her body back and the fact that they skipped Yobanashi Deceive (Kano's song) remixed. Next episode is the good ending and probably the 13th ep will be the bad ending. sigh... |
 |
| Great episode this time around, with things starting to make sense now. Thank you animation for getting better. Thank you Shaft for not attempting another 3D-rendered opening... Well, I guess they got tired of getting singers to do the cover songs, and just went back to IA. Not that I mind, though. I could've sworn that they previously said that the last episode was going to be Children Record, but I guess not. My only regret is that they're not gonna cover Children Record now, which was one of the best songs. Hopefully the ending episode will make up for this loss. Here's to wishing for a good finale! |
| Everything's gonna be daijoubu. |
| Next: summertime record? What? This is so confusing. Everything in this ep was SO confusing. Don't talk to Ayano like she will fucking come back, Shintaro! Ayano is deaaaad! Don't tell me she will live, she wasn't even in the fucking PV. |

Criminalbmc said: There's only 12 eps, next is the finale. Even worse. They cutted Nisekoi for a adaptation which doesn't even include all songs and push away Hanamonogatari release for August. Just wow from Shaft. |
|
| What was with that ending? Takane suddenly has her body back with no explanation? What? |
| wow gay |

Next episode is the good ending and probably the 13th ep will be the bad ending. sigh... Yobanashi Deceive is just about the self conflict that Kano has... and that he does use his powers to hide his emotions from others... I'm not sure how they could have turned that into a whole episode. They could have probably combined with this episode in regards to flashbacks, but I feel like it is fine that they left it out. We already get a sense of self conflict from him currently. |
AkatsukiWolf said: Antearion said: So am I the only one confused about this episode or naw? Okay like the fact that a lot of things were reveled. Like how Shin got his powers and the promise he mad to Mary. Like how they explained how Ayano died. Kano and his past was also good. But then towards the ending that where things start to get confusing. First, how did Ene get back and her body? Also why is nobody surprise about this? Second was Shin in a dream or did he kill himself? How is he talking to Ayano? IDK. Maybe it's just me. I can't say how I feel about this episode. The Marry and Shintaro thing will be probably explained in the finale since this is a anime only thing. Last week's episode Kano showed Ene her original body so it's must likely she took over it but the anime for some reason didn't explain it :/ Shintaro killed himself to enter the haze to speak with Ayano. But then, how is Shintaro supposed to get back? ;_; Loved this episode btw, a huge contrast in terms of positivity and feel-goodness compared to the general pattern of past episodes. It made me feel great, at least ;D And oh yes, can't wait to see how Takane reacts to Haruka/Konoha. She knows that Haruka is inside his new body, right? |

| Did I just heard Kuroha's voice in thr PV or what? |
| 「 」's signature is literally empty. Congratulations. If you saw this, then just give me a Visitor Message in my profile that says "Congratulations, I just got an award." then I'll give you the prize. |
DejWoSWK said: Another good episode. I hope the conclusion to the series won't let me down. By the way,does anyone know when or whether at all,will be the OST released? I would like to hear full version of anime version of Lost Time Memory. The covered songs are bundled with the anime volumes. There will be 12 Mekakucity Actors volumes. Song List: Vol. 1 - Children Record Vol. 2 - Kisaragi Attention Vol. 3 - Mekakushi Code Vol. 4 - Kagerou Days Vol. 5 - Yuukei Yesterday Vol. 6 - Headphone Actor Vol. 7 - it says there'll be a bonus CD Vol. 8 - this is probably Lost Time Memory |
| Man the feels this episode! Ayano committing suicide in front of Kano and Kano's complete break down with Seto were both pretty dramatic in a good way. Looks like there isn't going to be Outer Science but i'm okay with that. Although I do hypothesize that: (read at own risk) |

| More Shintaro, he barely gets any screen-time. |
 |
| Not a bad episode. I get that they had to have some more character development, but why was Moon-viewing Recital shown at the end almost in a rush? I should really stop hoping for the episodes to look like the PVs.. It's been a good run though, one week away from last ep! |

I should really stop hoping for the episodes to look like the PVs.. It's been a good run though, one week away from last ep! Do keep in mind that Shidu made the PVs and SHAFT is probably just taking the interpretation of the song and doing their own thing with it... under supervision of Jin of course, so we don't get a super drastically different feel from the song. |
| Damn, that would scar me for life If someone close to me jumped X__X |

DoctorWasabi said: Damn, that would scar me for life If someone close to me jumped X__X Imagine Shintaro's situation Toumei Answer is the death of Ayano from Shintaro's perspective https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIQqGdfdR8Y Kano still must have been hit hard... imagine his powers too. The fandom loves to imagine the idea that Kano uses his powers to constantly hide his emotions from others, and this is why Kido hits him a lot. |
| Did Shintaro's power brought back Takane's body or did her powers get taken away by the evil snake? |
| this was the penultimate episode, and I'm not convinced that I'll have all my questions answered, do not even know if it will be possible to finish the story this season but this episode already unraveled the mystery behind the death of Ayano, and showed that Shintaro have powers the plot left me curious for the last episode, is it possible to be a happy ending? And it is possible to answer all the questions left for the anime? |
  |
| Wait, when did Ene got her body back ? And is Shuuya bad or good ? And what about that thing where Ayano would die everyday in front of Shintaro, and there was a evil cat and shit ? Or perhaps those werent Shintaro and Ayano ? AND WHY ARE PEOPLE SAYING SHINTARO HAS POWERS ??? WHAT POWERS ? I DIDNT SEE ANY POWERS AM I STUPID ??? |
| I binged all day to catch up with this show. I'm excited to see how it ends. There's been some confusing parts here and there, but the characters make up for it in my book. I love my cyber couple ship.~ |
  |
| This was very confusing. Are they adapting this from anything? Is there anything that completely tells the story? I'm REALLY interested. |
Jordan_X said: This was very confusing. Are they adapting this from anything? Is there anything that completely tells the story? I'm REALLY interested. This is based off the song series called The Kagerou Project. It's a series of songs that construct a story. There is a manga and LN both called Kagerou Days based off the song series as well. |
| So the reveal of why Ayano is not there the whole time, and the creation of Mekakushi Dan. It was actually a pretty good episode, and its putting is pieces together. Pretty much like the ending scene when Shintaro meets Ayano. Wonder how they will wrap things up in the finale. |

Kano showed Ene her body in the last episode so he probably sent her data to her body or something like that, it's still unexplained. These were Hibiya and Hiyori, you really didn't uderstand that or just forgot what happened? And the powers were the red eyes, his eyes give him the ability to see through other people's red eyes. It might sound annoying but to fully undersdand the anime you need to listen the songs, read the manga and read the novels, and search a lot about it on the internet, if you don't want to read the mangas or the novel just search information about them, it will probably be enough. |
Jordan_X said: This was very confusing. Are they adapting this from anything? Is there anything that completely tells the story? I'm REALLY interested. Basically, this is a sequel of the Mekakucity songs, the Kagerou Days light novel and the Kagerou Days manga XD |
| Oh man feel bad for Kano seeing Ayano die right in front of him, scared for life :( |
| Ayano committed suicide to foil the plans of the snake that was possessing her dad? That's one way to do it. It's really weird to see Kano cry because I know him to be a happy troublemaker and always try to make everyone smile. Shintaro was the only one missing in the Mekakushi Dan in the end. I have a hunch that next episode is gonna be a good one. |
| Just when I thought I had a grasp of what was going on.....boom......confused as fuck. |
 |
| which part does it show that shintaro actually kills himself to speak with ayane? |
| " I'll find you and fall in love with you all over again " - Asuna |
| man so heavy, the reason why ayano isnt alive.... |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| It looks like my theory from the Lost Time Memory ED was correct; that Shintaro had his power from birth, and why Shintaro sounded as if he already knew about the Haze when Kido explained it. So does that mean Shintaro's power was not passed from Ayano? How many snakes are there anyway? I thought both Ayano and Shintaro had the same power. I am a little confused about Route XX Shintaro in this timeline. He was in black when he killed himself, but had on his red jacket in the Haze, so was that Route 01 Shintaro? I'm starting to think that routes and timelines are different. Maybe the routes aren't timelines, but happen inside them? Kind of like an alternate universe thing. That's only one theory though. From the leaked booklet scans, it seems as if Shintaro DOES NOT kill himself in the manga and novel. Maybe we're getting "route" and "timeline" mixed up. The ED segment brings up all kinds of questions. If Shintaro already had his eye power, then he must have saw his meeting with Ayano already. Does that mean that him inviting Ayano to come back happened in the other timelines, or is Shintaro remembering, and changing what is supposed to happen? How are both of them going to go back anyway? Shintaro would go back and leave his other self there, but what about Ayano? Maybe Shintaro is putting a loophole into the Haze because he remembers everything. But from the next episode preview, it sounded as if Shintaro made it back into the real world. It makes me wonder if Shintaro is entering the Haze under the same circumstances as in the song timeline. Also, why is Summertime Record the good timeline ending when it also happened in the song timeline, but that didn't end well? The series would have ended with the songs. Here are the booklet scans if anyone is interested. It shows how everything progressed from the song -> manga -> novel. We can assume the anime is the timeline after the novel. |
