Shirowhite01 said: Well, the map in episode 2 depicts a disconnection in the tracks just before Ikebukuro.Everything that happened started with Yoka, now she's recognized as the Witch Queen of Ikebukuro. We've seen some magic powers from the NeriAri villains so the likelihood of Yoka having powers or Authority to mold anything to her bidding might not be so far-fetched... She might even have powers to prevent anyone she dislikes from entering her domain. NekOniiChan said: Pretty sure a circle indicates no life intelligent enough to communicate with, while squares and diamonds indicate there is someone they can talk to. Not sure what the difference between square and diamond is. Both of the diamonds have been hostile... although the mushroom people at Higashi-Agano also ended up being hostile. Also, the map-maker seemingly hasn't met the queen of the zombies, or figured he couldn't draw a square for one person.The effects of Higashi-Kurume [SI 14] and Hibarigaoka [SI 13] are internal rather than external as the opening for this week's episode. Of course, the map from Episode 2 gave us a hint about what's in store at each station along the line, but the handmade nature of it can only provide so much. On a side note, has anyone figured out why that map has some stations in circles, some in diamonds, and some in squares? I kind of like the fast pace of this anime, but it feels like this episode cranked the pace way higher than usual. In one episode, they've discovered a town that's turned into the setting of NeriAli, tried and failed to revive the protagonists, defeated the villains, and left the town a leaderless mess. |
| Heavy Alice in Wonderland and Jabberwocky poem vibes this episode. Also unexpectedly suddenly this start reminding me of a heavy dose of Ergo Proxy if that were a much less slow and bleak, grey anime and instead a bright frenetic ADHD-riddled CGDCT one. Specifically from the second half of the series when they're aboard the Rabbit (Centzon Totochtin) and during a certain stretch of episodes visiting progressively crazier and more unpredictable self-contained domes. At first upon watching it it was nearly indecipherable for me with some of the nonsense language and actions for large stretches and I thought it was perhaps one of, if not the single strangest episode of anime I've ever watched. Upon rewatching, in retrospect I don't think it was quite that extreme and strange to earn that distinction and I understood a lot more - most, if not all, of it. But that was just my initial impression and honest feelings and reaction. It makes more sense upon a little reflection and context when you're not initially just inundated and overwhelmed with seeming nonsensical actions and gibberish. Very frantic and creative though. Kind of like the embodiment or a good representation of if a board game did come to life (this is technically about an anime or an anime-within-an-anime/show-within-a-show come to life, but that anime-within-an-anime itself is actually the world inside a board game). Either way, apart from all that, another thing I enjoyed in this episode were the brief (too quick, actually) passages through the earlier stations in that it was nice to see characters affected by this brainwave phenomenon which supposedly warped space, people's perceptions and memories, and physics itself, instead of turning into other creatures like non-human animals (in Agano), mushroom-puppets, golf balls, shrunken miniature people, zombies, anime characters, etc., and have a more abstract purely restricted to mental reaction like with the flashes of guilt. It gives a slight taste of what must have happened to those who have had their minds warped and consciousness, memories, and personality rewritten. I'd definitely revise and take back what I said though much earlier in the season and series' run about this show feeling like Tengoku Daimakyou or Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou. It definitely doesn't in a fundamental way. The closest thing to it for me is Humanity Has Declined. |

| This was a pretty whacky episode haha Bet the VA's had fun with this one. |
| This episode was really crazy and weird, and we got some fanservice. It was confirmed that Yoka is the queen, and it makes sense since several cities they visited seem to have been altered by things related to Yoka. However, the part that confused me the most was the possible flashbacks of the girls, like Nadeko's father abandoning her or Akira and Reimi killing someone or something. |
 |
| the other eps were sure weird, interesting or fun. this one was batshit insane. yoka here we come! |
| Really liked this and the last episode, Tsutomu Mizushima really starting to lean into his weird brand of comedy that makes stuff like Dokuro-chan and Mayoiga highly entertaining to watch even if they're generally uneven shows overall. I do recall him posting on twitter that from episode 4 onwards the show would grow weirder and can't wait to see what comes next. |
| - Station where past regrets mind-rape you -> only 15 seconds of screen-time. - Station where everything is a wacky Alice in Wonderland x Precure parody -> practically a whole episode of screen-time. Yeah... not gonna lie, the "past regrets" station deserved its own episode. Just imagine the drama and potential character development for all the girls... Still a highly entertaining episode tho. I have no idea what the creator smoked while writing this but I can tell it sure was from a good batch. |
| Really funny chaos but I didn't get a damn thing... aall is well when it ends well I guess? So Yoka is the queen. The ending with her hair changing makes some sense now. |
 |
| I thought we were gonna get an episode focused on all that juicy trauma only to get one of the worst episodes of an anime I've watched in a long time. I can tell they're referencing something, but fuck me the pacing is so fast it's impossible to follow what is happening. |
| Kind of would have been nice if the episode was on the regret station but I guess they can always bring up an explanation of what they were thinking of. It was just these really brief flashes. This episode was really fast paced and chaotic yet organized lol |
| A bit hard to follow when you step in unprepared, I will rewatch this for sure. the recent stations were all a big nightmare, although the one with Zombies was no real danger. Ikeburo might be the most normal station or the reincarnation of Event Horizon. Funny that they created a weird anime as reference for this episode and made it super weird |

| What I’m getting from this is that Shizuru may very well be (partially) responsible for the state of this world. I theorise that the reason all of the towns became so far apart is because Youka viewed the distance between her (in Ikebukuro) and her friends (in their hometown) as akin to the gap between stars, hence the insane spatial distortion. I think that 7G turned Youka’s metaphorical interpretations (specifically, their relationship) into physical realities. She left the train line intact because deep down, she hopes that there is still a way to reunite with her friends even if it’s infinitely far away. |
 |
| I feel stupid saying it but I have no idea what this episode was about. |
| nadeko was cute as hell in that outfit |
 |
| Well, that was definitely a step up in wackiness. I'm gonna need more info on Akira seeing someone drown though. |
 |
| The "stop of the week" was the worst one so far, but it's nice to hear from Yoka and get closer to the truth behind 7G! |
| Did the creators run out of imagination and decided to increase the dose of psychedelics to write this episode? It was a funny parody of mahou shoujo though. Quite surreal, but still. |
 |
| I was watching it on strong acid dose, had to rewatch and nothing changed this shit is so wild, I love it! |
| By now, it’s no surprise that Youka is the mastermind. While the first couple flashbacks showed some nice childhood memories, the more recent ones have shown some creepy stuff. As for the pig dudes, it's unfortunate. They were left leaderless just when they had a glimmer of hope for a new leader. Lmaooo. |
 |
| Well, that just happened. This show is somehow topping itself with the amount of randomness and insanity they're putting up with every episode lol. By the way, the initial few minutes with the flashbacks and everything.. regretful flashbacks at that, need one more go. |
 |
| wtf.. this was terrible. It feels like the plot for every station the anime focuses on is just them arriving at a town and getting chased why not focus on the regret/flashbacks at the beginning of the episode or the body dysphoria that must come from not being a human anymore? Maybe I sound like an elitist but this anime had potential for so much more |
| Unironically the most interesting episode I've seen in seasonal anime in at least a year This is what I want from anime |
| LMAOOOO bro WTFFFF did I just watch man this gotta be the most confusing and most random episode so far from this show man I love it, from the beginning of this episode they already confused me with the whole Alice show and the amount of words that was on my screen left me looking like this >😵💫 hahaha nonetheless tho great episode I love how chaotic this show is one on my favs to watch on mondays🔥🔥🔥 Looks like Yoka is alive which is good but it looks like she’s become an evil witch with the ability to take over the world which is surprising but I guess it shouldn’t be that surprising considering she was the first and only person to push the 7G button and launch the world into chaos I hope she isn’t too evil but something tells me it’s not gonna be easy to get her back🙁 Now that we got all that out of the way now we can talk about the best part of this episode……………THE NADEKO FANSERVICE WE GOT IN THIS EPISODE WAS FUCKING UNEXPECTED I LOVED IT SO MUCH SHES THE FINEST GIRL OUT OF EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW like I was NOT expecting her to wear a mini skirt and crop top + she’s so goddamn stacked like why did the animator make her so fine for? I hope we get more of these fanservice moments in future episode (let’s hope we get Yoka fanservice as well👀)😩😫😩😫😫😫😫    |
| what a hyper chaotic shogi domino episode! 5/5. |
 |
| He's not in the credits, but the slapdash, off-the-rails style in this episode really reminded me of Sakurai Hiroaki |
| Jeeez this town seems insane wtf Poor pigs. They spent too much time on the zombies and not enough time in regret land. This episode felt like an Nintendo game for some reason. Let's hope that Yoka isn't actually a witch. |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| They really just made her sad backstory like that side thing. Anyway should have known Yoka would be the final villain. |
 |
| An itchy contraption, and survivor's guilt conscience nightmare fuel ruptures the girls...what the hell's going on!? Anything goes from the effect of 7G, and everything's like a video game from the manga/anime series Alice in Nerima Land franchise, though that does fickle Shizuku a bit. And into a town where NeriAli is brought to life with Chaos taking over a magical land where they rule, and nothing but the death sentence awaits them if they try to retaliate, which they do so while following the plot of the show for escape getaways. It's just hectic strategies left and right saving the heroes and getting almost chimed in, and the girls getting cosplayed to the actual Darkzumite heroes to truly unravel the literate chaos in a huge cemetary, but stlll following the rules of Shogi enough that they have a fighting chance to stop Chaos, his right-hand men and the lots of Walker minions as pawns. And then the reveal: the Witch Queen of Ikebukuro, Yoka, of which Chaos escaped to report the cause. Absolutely no chance to lead the piglets, the girls have to move on, now knowing that NeriAli's setting changed somehow, no thanks to the 7G incident. At least we have a lead on where Yoka is now... |
 |
| The beginning was some crazy fan service opening scene turned battle scar mental trauma. This episode hurt my brain, they arrive at a station that seemingly looked like a night festival but deep down it was a cult of walkers and shogi pieces with many pigs in hiding including an idol Alice, the person they held memorial tombstone for in the festival square. In they end the dog exposes that Youka is the queen, what a surprise - the one person that pressed the button became the ruler.  |
| Dumbest episode so far. |
