Decent episode this week, really liked that soundtrack.

These tears though ;.;

Finale next week but this episode had good balance of feels and happy moments.

Otsukimi Recital didn't turned out the way I expected it to be. I need to stop hoping for these things to be like the PV's ;-;

I swear, sometimes the animation on this show looks good, sometimes it doesn't.

I was screaming when I saw Kuroha but... he... it was only a 5-sec flashback ;-;
The story about the queen and Shintaro is <3

Wait... so... is Ayano dead or alive? There's an epilogue for Lost Time Memory!?

Will we get more Kuroha screen time? ;-;

Excited for the final episode.

The animation when Momo was on stage made me cringe a little. But despite that it was an amazing episode.

Next episode is Summertime Record after all, although it seems we'll be seeing a bit of Outer Science as well.

EDIT: Also, I'm glad they finally used IA for the insert song.

Pretty good episode this week even though the animation was choppy at times. I hate how they keep on teasing "you know who." I wonder why they didn't show how Ene got her body back. Oh well......anyway I wonder can they answer all the questions in the finale episode.

Kano being closest to Ayano. So all that happened at the roof. That smile though.
Momo and Kido combining their powers to make a flawless SOS call with a song!
Everyone gathering, so Ene really did get her body back.
Shintaro's power can somehow save Ayano? That last scene where Shintaro can finally find Ayano!

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.

Wait,what? Ene got her body back? How..?
The scene after the ending it gave me the feeling that next episode will include also Outer Science,judging by Marry's scream and (probably)Kuroha's insane talk.

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.

So what I've got from this, Ene becoming Takane again will probably be shown in the last ep, maybe when she explains herself to Shintaro. And to answer your second question, I believe Shintaro killed himself to enter the heat-haze and get Ayano out, probably based on one of the "memories" of the other timelines, and Ayano knew this would happen so she has been waiting for him.

Well that was a weird way to end the ep with all of them gathered. I really hope they explain what happened for Takane to be back to her body and no one being surprised about it also she should have at least reacted to Haruka being there. Hope all this gets done in nxt ep.

The ending with Shintaro reaching Ayano was cute but needs a bit of explaining too.

Loved the part with Kano, Ayano and "The Snake". Was quite awesome ^^

Ah, so they started the episode with Route XX? Poor Dark Shintaro..

Ayano is such an great character; sacrificed herself to hinder her dad/the Snake's plan and save her family. T_T
Poor Kano.. Must've been really tough for him to see her die right in front of him..
Moreover, being blackmailed by Kenjirou/the Snake to proceed with his plan, otherwise his family dies.. Really feel bad for the guy.

Kano & Kido's conversation was nice, especially that part where Kano asks her to be their commander. (^^)
-- "D-Don't call me cutesy!" How can I not? :3

Kano getting upset over Ayano's death was pretty sad. Nice seeing Seto comforting him. Such good brother!

Momo's plan seemingly succeeds as members of Mekakushi-Dan assembles. Nice one, Momo!

Shintaro and Ayano;'s meeting at the end was so nice. Those tears! (^^)

Good episode. Momo's song Otsukimi Recital was pretty nice, though a little rushed towards the end. Still fine.

Summertime Record seems to be the last episode. I hope we see Outer Science too. That'd be epic.

Well they technically started with an imitation of route XX Shintaro, as it seems to be part of the way to Summertime Record and I hope we see outer science too! Since it sounds like Kuroha in the teaser for the next ep, maybe Shintaro will get a long flashback? (Shaft pleaaaase!)

Another change in the OP, it replaces Mary with
for a split second when she holds the book.

Stuff got explained and the reason why Ayano suicided was revealed. Poor Kano...

Ene got her body back! And nobody in-universe cares...

Shintarou.... did he suicide? O-O He better be okay.

Oh, he did that to meet Ayano...? If I understood correctly.

Summertime record next week.... yesss.

This was probably my favorite episode yet, as we finally got an explanation as to how Ayano died, Takane got her body back, and Shintaro made his move. I feel bad for Kano, it seems like he's the only one who knows what's going on, yet he can't tell anyone.

Good thing Seto loves him. <3

I'm really curious to see how it all ends with Summertime Record!

I'm satisfied with this one. Of course there some things that need to be explained, but for the most part this episode was enjoyable for me. I like how they left IA's lyrics for the insert song as well.

I was waiting to see Ayano's death scene, the feels. I liked the bro moment between Shuuya and Seto.

Hibiya was blown away by Momo in the end. Takane also managed to get her body back.

Ayano felt delighted to see Shintaro again, not surprised about that.

Boo, I like Ene's cyber form much better. Her human form is...kind of ugly.

What was Shintaro's vision in the beginning? Some kind of a bleak alternate future?

That Seto/Kano moment...I was ready to skip forward thinking it'd go yaoi, but it ended up a fine "brotherly" moment.

Pretty nice episode at last (from my point of view anyway...I didn't follow the other materials whatsoever). Last week's was decent, but the earlier ones betrayed the hype. Hope they keep this up through the finale.

His vision of the future is the song Outer Science, which happens in the "route XX" timelines, so yeah it's what he is trying to avoid.

It isnt some sort of mystery how she got her body back. They found it and they put her consciousness back in her body. Neither her body or her consciousness was dead so it wasn't impossible to do. If u wanted them to animate the scene thats a different story but getting her body back isnt something that should hinder the viewing experience.

They even said themselves that they don't understand their powers fully, and you make it sound as if a child and a cyber being putting someone inside a body is easy. It needs an explanation in some form, not just ta-da it happened the end.

Wow, Takane gets her body back, and she is still the same as when she was alive. Complaining and short tempered. xD But she still has her energeticness as Ene, so I guess that minus the loss of her ability to enter cyber space and control electronic devices, she is all better then. ^^

I liked this episode! Kano is a interestingly complicated character, as is Ayano for that matter. So she got pulled into the heat haze so that the snake possessing her father wouldn't be able to kill everyone else, and Kano posed as her body.

I would like to know whats up with Shintaro though, but from what I understand, he killed himself so he could talk to Ayano. Maybe that will be explained?

This is a very complex show, and I hate the fact that its only 12 episodes. It should have been at least 3 times that...

Also how did Ene get her body back? Did she just transfer into it or something?

Yeah he seems to have followed the "black shintaro" suicide but based on the translation I saw, it was to bring Ayano back, and not just to chat.

Seeing Ayano in the picture after meeting the dan and learning of their powers sparked memories which in turn allowed his power to awaken again and inform him of everything. At least that's what they leave us to believe. And some people that Kenjirou's snake hired, remember it was gathering money to unite the snakes? And it was her power without restrictions that allowed her to project her voice.
To how everyone got in the building, I'm pretty sure it's the school, so it wouldn't have been overly difficult.

Needs less KonoMary moments please and more SetoMary please.

Seeing Ayano do that hurt and hit hard. And finally seeing Shintaro go to Ayano at the end, ughh such feels. Summertime Record next? Leaks said it was Children Record, then Summertime Record for like 10 minutes, and then back to Children Record...

Definitely really enjoyed this episode cause it explained so much and provided a somewhat foundation on what's happening. Other than that I vaguely wish that there was an episode that was a closer adaptation to Moon Viewing Recital though--it was definitely one of my favorite animations to watch from the songs.

And well I'm okay with Ene getting back her body... what I find weird is how nobody even wonder what is going on (makes sense for the guy who showed her her body though)

And well if Shintarou kills himself, he's dead no? Then to go to the other world, he should have been near death? It didn't seem like there was any blood on the scissors anyway

Good episode , I liked it, even though it did confuse me .. again

How did Ene get her body back?
Why was nobody suprised to see her standing there IN PERSON?

And my biggest question:
Why didn't she react to Konoha when she came with kano and seto? She knew about the character "konoha" itself

Oh boy, I guess it will all be explained next expisode.
