What's wrong with Kimizuka? I don't get the reason of him being so attached to Alicia. This is my main problem with this anime and its characters even in the last episodes, these unnatural and weird development in their relationships.

Yeah, it was a better episode indeed. Overall, it's still a bad anime.

Not surprising to me, since Yui debut, I'm also guessed from the start who the culprit was.

It looks like in this episode or Alicia debut, using the same formula as before, but the ring wearing scene is emotional with the setting and music is good.

The most annoying thing that happened in this episode, which I see no one talking about, is that UK police officers don't carry guns!! Only SWAT teams and the army carry guns in the UK, police officers only have batons, handcuffs and tasers.

While most police officers do not carry guns, even though the story is probably around London, North Ireland is an exception.

Also, MOST do not carry, which implies some of them do, and certainly when there is a serial killer in the town. AFAIK, it is not ban to carry a gun.

I don't know about Northern Ireland because I'm not from there but in the UK no police officers generally carry guns even if there is a serial killer. The laws are very strict even with police officers, over 90% of police officers in the UK don't carry guns.

Some fun quotes there. The android part's getting silly, just does anything.
Kimi & Alicia's banter & 'engagement' was great, stuff getting better.

This entire episode was so unbearably forced. I'm not sold on Kimizuka and Alicia's relationship at all. All they've done together was roam around the streets aimlessly "solving mysteries" and for whatever reason that was enough to get Kimizuka to pull a gun on Siesta, the girl he's loved for years now? Also, the tonal shift at the end was jarring. Alicia was taken from them by Chameleon and then after they're gone, the two of them resolve to go buy some juicy apples with smiles on their faces... Sure bro. Sure. This anime is beyond saving.

EXACTLY what i was thinking. He spent 3 YEARS with siesta and like 2 weeks with this random girl who doesnt know who she even is and suddenly he likes her more than siesta? Like wtf is this, how am i supposed to believe this? So weird

Kimizuka and Siesta were practically a married couple. Wishing the show just followed their story and she was still around now.

No idea how I can be invested in a sad scene regarding a character we've seen for like 10 seconds.

Very difficult to care about Alicia in any degree too. Not sure why MC can.

Conflict and resolution was extremely forced as well. Everything is just really clumsy and devoid of artistic sense.

To top it all off Naganawa is subpar in this role.

Sure, lets let the amnesiac loli get involved in all this danger, what can go wrong?

The scene with the failed attack already made her look bad but I didn't connect it with the knife until Siesta mentioned it later, it slipped my mind haha. Turns out that Alice was actually a second personality hidden inside Hel. Hence the bit about her living in a dark world with nothing but suffering and remembering being 17. Too bad, I was getting fond of the loli.... not to the point of proposing to her like Kimi did though lol.

Kimi is lucky the FBI wasn't on patrol there when he put the ring on Alicia's finger, unlucky about Siesta finding out though. Until now the cases were boring but the whole Alicia is Hel was a somewhat interesting twist with some obvious hints pointing that out before the reveal.

Wait, so now Alicia is Hel who lost her memories ? And she is one of Hel's persona ? And Hel is one of Alicia's two personalities ? All at once ? What ?

I understood since the first episode that watching this anime for the plot was a bad idea but I still had some hope that they would make something at least decent... But it's really getting dumber and dumber.

And I'm very disappointed in Siesta, not that I found her to be the "best waifu" like so many people see her as, far from it actually, but I thought she was pretty interesting. That is until I realized how inconsistent her character really is. That's a shame.
Also, what's up with that blondie we saw episodes ago ? She just doesn't exist anymore ? What was the point ?
And I'm also confused, these episodes are supposed to be flashbacks, but they are becoming the main plot whereas the actual main plot taking place in present times has been completely forgotten, what kind of narration is that ?

It's a short anime so I thought I could watch it to the end, and I'll do it because there's only 4 episodes left, but it's really getting hard to follow when there are so many things wrong.

Alicia is Hel... So, which form is her real body look? I prefer the black hair look rather than the loli one.
Kunihiko is weird, he attached to that loli so fast....

Finally seem to be getting some movement in the plot. But the twist was just boringly done and near enough out of nowhere since there was no hints other than her timing of showing up :/ (or maybe it's just because I've been having long breaks between episodes). Clearly had some moments where it wanted you to cry, but I barely felt anything even though I tend to have a low bar for those sorts of moments.

And while I get that they want to be able to save Alicia as a person, Kimi is an absolute idiot and his actions made no sense. Knowing Siesta for 2 years now and travellling with her pretty much every day vs Alicia who they've only known for a few days (may a couple of weeks since I'm not sure how much time has been passing with the last few episodes) and yet Kimi is completely unhesitent on drawing a gun on Siesta. Not an outstreched hand and a yell of "WAIT!" followed by quickly and possibly shakenly drawing his gun, but instantly drawing it and aimed at her head.

That does not feel like the actions one would take against someone who they supposed to have been undoubtedly trusting up to this point, especially since he was emotionally driven this episode. That is more the actions of someone who has just been tolerantly with the person, is calculated and always acts completely logically.

Still wondering how many more episodes until this flashback section is actually going to link back to the present day.

Hm.. And so we probably get that sea mission, where Siesta died or faked her death.. Well, maybe this is the one we saw preparations for before..

It become more apparent in the end that she was Hel. Though in a previous episode I thought she would be the girl on the poster that said sapphire Siesta was looking at.

It's nice to see that Siesta didn't just straight disown the dude for his morally fueled stupidity. At least she doesn't hate him for it. But my dude, you gotta get rid of some of those emotions. This career requires that much of you.
