| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, the way they have been building up Oka Eri's character really makes her look like a legit threat in this show. Honestly, the way she tries to accomplish her goals in relations of a witch is just intimidating. Well at least Kei is back in the real world now. For what's worth, I think they did a decent job with this witch arc. Even Murase proves to be quite useful with her abilities. |
 |
| Main guy came back from the photo's world so easily. So it was to buy time for "Oka Eri" girl to use the power again, which reset power is back. Yui-chan's character was waiting so she can save the main girl, too. The old man remembering the past about the sakura, which the girl looks like main girl when junior high. He used the photo to meet young witch who before being captured to that house. She told him what would happen to her and that "Oka Eri" girl, being opposite and both bad situation. Saving both "Oka Eri" girl and witch? Now back to future seeing, but this time with the photos that was kept. Oh, that young boy and girl are the old man and the witch? The witch predicted about him getting involved in a big case related to that girl who was dead in junior high in the future. Showing a bit of young main guy and one ep. arc next? |

| I really can't take Oka Eri seriously. She's so lame as a villain. Kei's plan to beat her worked out well. His plan to help the witch escape worked out too. He got learn about his future. He's going to be involved a case with the girl that died two years ago. |
 |
| This seems more difficult than any other task before. To oppose Bureau again and to save The Witch or Oka Eri at the same time. |

| Most of the episode kinda lost me a bit, as it as lazy how easily he got out of the photo and I can't take Oka seriously at all. However, the stuff with helping the Witch escape and her then telling him that Sumire is somehow her successor (despite being dead, so goodness knows how that's gonna work). Also, looks like we're going back to their middle school days on the back of this revelation, so that should be interesting. |
| eww.. episode was kind of felt all over the place but still it was good. I was somewhat right about the Souma's ability but i thought she and the witch are the same person but i guess they're not. Was kind of hoping to get meeting with Souma this episode but i guess its not gonna happen this early on the story. Next episode looks interesting, cant w8. |
| Not a bad episode. It sucks to be that witch lady. Being locked up for most her life. At least she will be with her lover with even though it will just be a week. It will be interesting to see how Sumire will comeback. Never thought that she will have the same/similar abilities as that witch lady. Kei plans never fail. |
 |
| Well I hope they can save the witch, Interesting bit about Souma being her successor I guess. |
 |
| Really good episode! I really feel like an jump of quality, especially for the OST and the rhythmic. I feel it also for the graphic but I'm not really sure ^^ The end of episode :o Sumire will be involve :D I think that her power is Time travel |
| That was the best episode if you like abilities and how they can be used in a plan. Kei's a mastermind lol |
| Can't wait to meet Souma again. I was right when thinking the Witch resembles Souma somehow. I kinda didn't understand how the Witch could escape at first, had to rewatch and think for some minutes to make it worked out. Overall, good episode. I still don't like that Oka Eri chick, her personality is just so over-dramatic. Sumire's ability was so useful. I'm glad that she could do some action with Kei and Haruki. Haruki was just as calm as ever. And the questions the Witch asked Kei about the rock and love, it's clearly parallel Haruki in episode 6, so I think Kei was thinking about Haruki. Kei also did admit he liked Haruki in ep2, and in my opinion he just thinks of Souma as one of his failure, or rather, a big "loss". |

karmenmeghan said: Question is: When the Witch-lady asked Kei to think about the girl he liked... was he thinking of Souma Sumire, or Haruki? Its definitely not Haruki, There are number of times in the anime that Haruki show his interest to be more than just a ability partner but Kei shut her down every time. There is also a scene in Ep4 that Kei actually is hitting on Nono-san(the cat girl) and he clearly says that he's not interested in Haruki. As to why, im guessing his kind of like Souma since he lost her, he doesn't want to get close to Haruki because he feel guilty about taking advantage of her innocence and even maybe, he's one of those guys who likes "hard to get" girls and get bored with nice and easy girls. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Ok episode, but guess it had some quite interesting moments. |
  |
| Nice hints at the future, maybe it will turn into something special in the second cour. |
 |
| Episode was literally all over the place. In the end they never fully explained the Photo power. So it turns out if you have the Photo you can enter the place for 5 minutes...okay that's cool. Wait so what your also telling me is that if you're in close proximity of said place you can be in a different area as well. What the fuck? Then Eri is just gonna be like "Okay whatever see ya Senpai." Sooo...anything else??? Also why wasn't Murase affected by Kei's reset? I knew she was able to do it in an earlier episode but I forget if that's her power or she actually uses someone elses. The Small Stone question was interesting. While my heart wants to believe Kei was talking about Haruki the second time, I think it makes more sense that he talks about Sumire when he says "Sorry i misspoke." |

She said "Full body, ability" So she was excluded in a universal ability like the reset That's why |

Read *only* if u want to spoil urself oh fuck me haruki is (at least in anime) one of the most boring characters ive seen, and souma is/was prodably most interesting character in this whole anime Nah it's definitely Haruki Witch: do you think you can be able to fall in love with a stone? Kei: I probably can't Witch: think the girl you like who can't do nothing but think Kei: I misspoke the first time, I am sure can fall in love with the stone Witch: what do you like about her? Kei: her past, her memories, her lifespan Judging from Kei's personality, I think Kei already fall for her even before their "test kiss" it's just that Kei thinks Haruki misunderstood what it means to fall in love, that's he rejected her atm. He wants her to be able to "properly" fall for him, coz Haruki like a robot The two changed each other in the first 2-3 episodes |

Man you need to watch it again if you have this weak of a memory |

Obviously a series of combinations and multiple use of ability, in the first place isn't that why the two joined under the bureau to look for abilities that can help bring her (souma) back |
| I actually really liked this episode as to how Kei used the abilities to help the witch lady escape. It's sad, but I'm happy for her she gets to spend the last moments of her life with the man she wants to. Always knew Souma was going to come back into the series, now's just a question of how. |

Read *only* if u want to spoil urself Well i guess you're right and he always hide his emotions and his true intentions. Its obvious that he's into Haruki at the start of the anime but i thought with stuff about Souma death, he change his mind and is actually chasing after Souma. As for the spoiler, im guessing there must be no other choice for him at end, in a scenario like Souma is going to die anyway or he has to go for Haruki to save everyone and something like that. lets see what happens later on. seconds_to_dere said: Nah it's definitely Haruki Witch: do you think you can be able to fall in love with a stone?

My impression still is that if he's going to choose Haruki over Souma, there must be some reason forcing his hand otherwise he wouldn't do that... damn drama's, i guess we have to w8 and see. |

Well, basically, souma changed the two coz in the first place it's her that made the two teamed up but technically kei and haruki changed each other bcoz of the issue with that kid, some talk on the roof top, they got curious on one another Souma's death didn't changed them emotionally but Mentally, they became careful on SAVING and RESETTING. Avoiding the unnecessary SAVE and RESET coz something like what happened to Souma, they couldn't save her bcoz they used RESET on a whim |

| Good for witch.

And what's better than time travel to directly see the future ? There's a lot of risk in time traveling just to "see" the future unless she can somehow go invisible while "sight seeing" in the future And judging from Souma's knowledge about well everything, about Kei, about Haruki (I'm talking about in the episodes when she was still alive she just simply knows about everything, she easily made Kei and Haruki teamed up) you can't know that by merely "going sight seeing in the future" it has to be seeing the future Besides, isn't RESETTING already a kind of time travel? |

Yeah it's true, time traveling had a lot of risk. But it's just a theory that i've since the third episode ^^ |
| I loved how the question of, "Would you love a stone?", also applied for the same witch... would she still love someone he hasn't meet for so many years... Pretty amazing episode. |

| Rating this show is going to be a pretty major dilemma for me... This series definitely has one of the better written stories this season. However, the animation is atrocious. Like wtf was with the stock footage of beach waves? And there's already been a lot of conversation about the characters' personalties; imo the characters fit in with the tone of the story; but it is difficult to connect to them. The story is definitely worth giving an 8/10... but everything else about this show is heavily limiting this show to 7/10 maximum. |
~my list
| Dam knew Souma was alive. |
| This episode had a strong ending, honestly i am really thrilled to see what happens next. This anime just keeps getting better. And the moment we have been waiting for has been confirmed, they will meet again. |
| The plot continues to get more and more complex and I'm not really sure what the end goal of all of this is but it's at least a half enjoyable ride. I hope the is more clarification in the coming episodes |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| To think that Kei will get trapped by Eri when she used the ability that she took from the old man though. That was surprising. Still it looks like that was only for a limited amount of time as that ability only works for mere minutes. Still he's still trapped at the lighthouse. Hmm Haruki sure has a lot of faith in Kei there though. Hmm since Eri's power works my manipulating memory she can also change the fact that she was Haruki's enemy eh. But it looks like its not working here. Now that Haruki knows how Eri's power works Eri would find it much harder to face Haruki. Hmm a pre recorded message from Kei that helped negate the effects eh. Well intelligence was always Kei's strong point and in this he predicted what Eri would try and do. Smart move though. Hmm its nice that Kei had safeguards in place to protect Haruki as well. Having Yoka hide within the door was a smart move. Hmm even with Eri's alertness it won't help when Yoka was hiding in her shadow and had already reached her hiding spot before she got to the top of the lighthouse. Plus Kei took advantage of the limits to Eri's power as well. Using one power will overwrite the other thats active and eliminating that effect eh. Once Kei knows how things work he can plan out his strategy quite easily. Kei is one hell of a planner though. Its his mind that's his strongest point though thats for sure. Man Eri is determined to beat Kei though aint she. If they don't use Haruki's ability that much and use it sparely like in this episode it feels much better. Compared to earlier episodes the newer ones seem to understand it. Hmm the old man really misses not having his ability eh. As it allowed him to beat his cherished companion from time to time and have conversations with her. Hmm that promise was 50 years ago eh. Seems Kei has figured out that the photo ability is different to what he was told. The ability to enter a photo which is a snapshot of a moment in time though is actually quite interesting. Hmm i wonder is the woman that Susano knows actually the witch then. Given that both have the ability of foretelling it does seem so. Hmm so she's been using her ability to use both Kei and Eri to achieve her plan eh. Quite crafty though. Hmm to think that another version of her thats in another photo is trying to betray her though. But man this is pretty interesting stuff. Its kinda sad that this version of her is not the one that will reunite with Sasano though. But man thats quite the dilemma there. Allow Eri to free the witch and become an enemy of the bureau or stop Eri and cause the witch to stay confined and die. Now what will you do Kei. First cause of action will naturally be to rescue the witch before Eri does. Hmm using the photo ability as a safeguard eh. Creative indeed. Its really hard to figure out whether Eri is trying to stop Kei or help him though. It seems that she does want to beat Kei but at the same time she really respects him as well. Hmm she also seems to have a tsundere personality as well. Hmm so the photos are serving as a escape route for the witch eh smart move. For the bureau someone with that kind of ability will be very useful to them so they won't stop looking i guess. Still its nice that the witch is finally free. Hmm so the bureau's choice was Souma eh. So Kei will meet her again eh. |

| In the end it totally didnt understand anything about this arc. It feels like episode was all over the place and didnt explain stuff properly and at some moments probably my bad for missing something. Also after this episode i dont think i'll have any remaining hope for the anime as i was utterly disappointed. The ending was good tho. I knew we will meet Souma again with how important she seems to be so she can see future too... i remmeber someone on mal pointing that out in earlier episodes. GOOD JOB. |

Read *only* if u want to spoil urself Well tbh I also think they will be together. There's many hints to support that. Moreover, after some eps, I got curious and checked the LN's cover. I really like Souma. That's kinda bad... I guess. Hope she can find her own happiness (and alive). |
| English is not my native language. Sorry for my poor choice of words and crappy grammar. |
| The conversation with the witch starts in exactly the same way in episode 6 and this one. And it makes perfect sense for her to start with "It's been a long time. Or should I say, nice to meet you?" :-) |
 |
| Oh no I forgot about this episode! Ugh and I really like this series too! I think I'll put it on hold then just binge the first half once it's done |
