| Funniest and best episode so far. We know that Reina has a huge appetite, but it still surprises me when she can eat so much food at an All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet with relative ease. You have to feel sorry for the restaurant's owner. XD The phantoms this time were really good. First was a retro bus that took Reina, and inevitably the rest of her friends, to the phantom world, and ended up with Reina's phantom parents, who were rabbits. Then everyone grew cute bunny ears when they ate food as well. Reina's teasing at Ichijou at wanting to sleep together was funny and cute too. Eventually, when Ichijou snapped her out of it, she responded by dunking him into the toilet. Possibly the funniest part of the episode! =D Eventually, Reina made the decision to part ways with the phantom parents, with some help from Ichijou's wisely chosen words to prevent her from making the wrong choice. The whole scene was pretty moving as well, which made it better. Hopefully there'll be a Minase-focused episode at some point. She needs more screentime anyway. |
| it was pretty boring imo :/ I'll give it one more episode I guess. |
 |
| Those trips to the bunny land were funny except the farewell. Didn't really feel the episode other than that tho. Hoping for more yuri. =3 |
 |
| Nice episode, it was all fun and emotions. Loved the part when she came back to her senses and threw Haruhiko into the toileT xD. |
 |
| i just wish we had more of koito by this point... maybe next episode |
Paul said: This was a nice episode overall but I have 2 issue with it. First off, how it was resolved. It was far to convenient that he happened to go take a shit and the hypnosis wears off because bathrooms are gate whatnot, it wouldn't be an issue if it was the first time but this is the second time with the first being the what the hell memory transfer head bump in the previous episode (which was humorous but hoped it wasn't repeated, as in another cheap plot resolve.) Second is that they didn't show us Reina telling her parents about joining the club, the entire episode was pretty much about her, so it feel off that it would just skip that scene entirely and go to her telling us they accepted it easily despite it kept on showing us how 'harsh' her father is. The toilet and eating food thing are related though. Eating the food there puts them under hypnosis? That was sudden and kind of unfair. The bathroom gets you out.... wait... OH. It's just following traditional japanese folklore. Most people know about the food thing since they watched Spirited Away. The toilet thing was new to me and I'm glad the show did it that way. Now I get it. Food gets you spirited away. Toilet brings you out. Hahaha. That's japanese folklore for you XD. It sounds stupid if you only know about part of it but it makes sense all in all.. Well it's a LN adaptation. They don't have the time to go into everything. Also, following the intimate discussions a character has with their parents is protagonist material. Skipping it and jumping straight to the conclusion makes sense since that's what matters in the overall plot. Tetimaru said: This anime is not bad by any means, but I feel like it lacks an identity. The episodes don't really flow into each other at all, and I have yet to identify the key conflict. Does it need one? Can't the show be about a dysfunctional phantom club and their antics as they get to know each other. Brick_ said: I'm not going to say this show is a masterpiece, but boy is it fun! It keeps surprising me with more and more ways. I love how there are so many types of phantoms. Good, bad, fun, and even caring. This show keeps diving deeper and deeper into a world that I want to see more of! Don't take this show seriously, it has flaws. Just let it consume you and enjoy the fun :D This guy gets it. Also, for all you guys getting butthurt over yuribait. ... Don't. ... Just don't. If it's yuri then feel free to the dislike Reina. You and I both know, it probably isn't going to be. You're letting del/u/sional people affect you making you see yuri EVERYWHERE when it isn't there. |
| RIP bunny phantom parents ;_; |
| So, I guess it's official now MoeAni has officially gone... MoeAnus |

They took her away from the world so she could run away from all her problems. I wouldn't call those phantoms good. What if someone with no social support met one. They'd abandon their life and free will for artificial happiness in one house. |

| pretty sad episode for reina she's scary inside |

I swear you're getting more butthurt than the original author. Look. The original is a Light Novel. There's lots of internal monologue and descriptive phrases. Because the anime doesn't have the time for that, and all the characters in the show know how everything really works, they created the fairy character so she can be the exposition dump as well as point out some shit that's hard to tell in the animated version. That decision logically makes sense. Skipping through the source is because of time. They probably didn't want to adapt all of Phantom World but they want to at least get to the parts they thought were interesting. That decision logically makes sense. None of KyoAni's male protagonists are terrible. None that I've seen anyway. I stay away from Free! They did 2 seasons of Haruhi, which means they must not have changed that much. If they changed too much they wouldn't be able to continue adapting it. Same with Amagi Brilliant Park, and Euphonium. Also Tamako Market isn't bad. It's not great, but it isn't bad. Why do you have such a hate boner for KyoAni anyway. I swear you're worse than Gonzo haters, Deen haters, or A-1 haters. |
| Mai having to be carried by Haruhiko lol Reina stole this episode. I wish I could be like her when it came to all you can eat. She had the appetite of a Saiyan. And yea, drama all because she wasn't allowed to interact with Phantoms. Well I get their reason but if they really don't want her to interact with Phantoms, then home school her. The bunny part was funny. I like how Mai casually accepts the food and grow ears. Prior to that the small phantom girl tells Mai not to fall for the food. And she does anyway lol That's one way to get off from being high, attack the closest person with martial arts. |

This episode was brought to you in part by  lovely episode. I actually thought for a moment Reina was going to leave with her bunny parents; even though I like Reina a lot more after this episode, I kind of wish she had left because it would've made for a more interesting story development. Cr7_vi_Britannia said: about episode 3: at this point in LN, Reina already have strong feelings romantic by Haru, and also is when Mai starts showing his feelings for Haru, the jealous scenes were to be Reina to Haru, as occurred in several scenes in Hibike again KyoAni changed intend and the real meaning of the scenes, diving the impression that Reina was jealous of Mai and not of Haru, I dunno what KyoAni intended or how others interpreted that scene, but I instantly figured Reina was jealous of Haru and never thought for a second that she was jealous of Mai. |

| Pretty good episode, I liked the more serious tone that this episode had over the other ones so far. It was interesting to learn more about Reina and her situation with her family and even a little with Haruhiko and his mom leaving him so it shows that they both have something in common. Koito makes another appearance but nothing really comes out of it, im wondering if they are just going to continue to do this or actually have her as a main with the rest of the group. But yea overall I enjoyed this episode with it having a more emotional and serious mood to it and can't wait to see what they will do next because at this moment I have no idea, so far we have had episode focused on Mai and Reina so will the next be on Haruhiko or Koito? Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwO7ulkFwZU |
| This was cute and amusing. I like this show so much. My 3rd favourite anime this season so far ^__^ |
 |
| Wow this show is deeper than I thought, though the weird bunny version of yomi was kinda weird xD. I'm starting to get some monogatari vibes from this show but with a lot more lightheartedness. Also why do I get the feeling that Reina has a dead sister or something |
 |
| Last couple of episodes were actually half decent. Nice to see the fan service toned down and more focus on Reina. |
Probably feeding all those Phantoms sealed in her tummy. |
| The funniest episode so far, those bunnies were quite nice. Reina is getting more and more likeable as well. |
 |
| bunny Reina = best girl so cute :) |

Cr7_vi_Britannia said: Compared the works adapted by KyoAni, Tamako Market is horrible, and also proves that KyoAni made his name and fame destroying and desecrating the works made by other authors which they put a lot of effort and sweat to create the works, to entertain people, are the authors who should receive the fame, praise and recognition for his works, Instead we see people exalting and clapping for editions of shit and addition your contents of shit made by this study. But you can't expect people to praise the original authors when they have never read their works. If they only watched KyoAni adaptations they can only praise or criticize the anime. Especially because, as you said yourself, there's a lot of original content in KyoAni animes. If people like the "anime" of Kyoukai no Kanata or Musaigen no Phantom World, they like the original content too. What I am trying to say is, fans of the Anime like "KyoAni adaptation" and fans of the Novel like "the authors work". And you can't expect that everybody who watched the anime to read the novels to compare them. By the way, it's not the studio's fault if their fans don't bother doing a quick research to find out if their anime are original works or not. |
| I found the end of the episode surprisingly sad. I feel bad for Reina :( Even though I don't like her all that much But okay, how stupid are these characters? Reina sees a strange bus in a world where phantoms exist. She thinks nothing of it and climbs aboard. Haruhiko follows her into fantasy land. He is offered food by a phantom and eats it. Mai now follows them. Immediately after commenting on how the food doesn't affect Ruru since she knows it's what causes the possession, she takes a bite. I mean, come on! Also, headphones girl is really irritating, both in attitude and with the fact that she knew exactly what was going on and didn't bother telling them anything useful BEFORE bad things happened. |

| Pretty decent episode. Reina is just so damn cute, can't help but love the character Although I agree with most people here with saying that i've got no idea where the story is heading. This feels just like an episodic series of SoL |

It was a bus at a bust stop. Reina makes sense. Especially since she wanted to run away from her problems which spawned the bus in the first place. If you were Haruhiko, you would've eaten the food and got caught too. Admit it. He thought everything happening to Reina was because she was the one trying to run from her problems. He thought he was safe. Mai was indeed stupid, but the whole point of her being there was to take the older sister role so I can forgive the show for that. I knew it wasn't going to end badly so I actually laughed at the scene Mai got caught. |
| Sometimes...life is hard. |
| Best episode so far. |
| The weirdest ep I've seen in a while |
| This episode was filled with Reina's cuteness hnngghh |
 |
| Bunny Girl Reina and Mai is ✌ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| Gotta say that when this anime first started, I definitely had Mai pegged to be my favourite of the two main females but Reina has easily taken that position now. She's a very likable character and I'm glad they started to develop her character in this episode. Kinda glad the MC didn't save the day entirely and it was mainly Reina coming to terms with things that helped. Still enjoying the show a lot, just kinda waiting for it to get a more directed storyline and finally finish with the character introduction episodes. We're 4 episodes in and they haven't even finished introducing his 4 female companions, since the wee girl hasn't met them fully and Koito really hasn't done anything. The fairy chick is kinda in the same boat. |
Raishin said: Reina practically solidified her status as best girl this episode. While I like Mai and to some extent, Koito, Reina just seems to hit the sweet spot. Overall, much better episode than the previous ones. This show is my guilty pleasure. Guilty? This? Really? |
| So many sparkles this episode. So many bright colors. SO MUCH KAWAIINESS. Reina is so kawaii, it's not even funny *^* Love her so much :3 her background is kind of sad tho... Still, this episode was pretty amusing~ |
