Meh this episode was a snoozefest for the first half.

Got somewhat better with the investigation of the mysteries. I think some secrets are met to be kept as secrets...
At least Undine seems kinda cute. I think the show also leaked some of their personal profiles with their abilities.

The action was alright, seems to quite violent in fact.

The little brother finally makes his apparence

I feel like the first half did really well teeing up the Blue Christmas thing as well as to showcase even more why Aoto is treated badly by so many people including that kid knight

The Blue Christmas event in itself was just crazy......666 people dead (The mark of the devil).....That is what you call a complete massacre and my goodness that Schrodinger guy is a fucking psycho lol

The right scenes were good but later on we got that CGI again and even though I still feel like this series shouldn't the be using it, the CGI looked and flowed a lot better in this episode so I'll let it slide for now....Happy to see that Aoto is finally loosening up a bit with that smile at the end

Good episode overall for me and I really hope that we get to see more of the robot girl because she didn't impress me much with her battle skills at all even though it was a quick fight

And yet more shit blamed on Aoto done by his evil troll brother. At least Aoto's new robot slave girl is cute. :D Welp, a third of the way in now this is ok at best. A confusing mess to be sure, often boring, but it's pretty to look at, nicely colorful. I'll stick with it for now, but definitely Bottom 5 of the season so far, and I'm watching over 20 shows this season so...yeah.

Yay, Aoto looks even more guilty because of brother -_-. I swear that guy with the mask is gay for Aoto. The narration will never fail to make me laugh because it's so funny how they try to make this anime look like a tragedy

It fails so miserably at being angsty that it's pitiful...

And seriously don't tell me there's only 1 guy who has blue eyes and manipulates water...
If that mask guy was arrested by the council then that revengeful guy should know no? Or did i miss something...
Aoto has no brain either... why ask the mask guy where his brother is? Since the mask guy thought Aoto was the lil bro ofc he wouldn't know
And again seriously, the bad guy escaped! No shit you didn't even try to run after him... basically let him go --"
Oh and just adopted that robot left behind by the bad guy????? what if it was a trap...

I like this anime :)
Some things are not very logical, but it kinda keeps me on edge about what will happen next
I wonder if Aoto will tell the guys what's going on in his head...
and I love the op :D

this is definitely, in my opinion, not the best and not the worst anime this season. Kinda in the middle, but a bit higher :>

*EDIT
I also like the OST. I noticed it when I watched the episode for the second time to see if it's as bad as everyone is saying xD
The action scenes are also well done
I still like it

The robot was meant as a gift for Aoto, so Schrodinger made it so that the girl will obey Aoto.

The anime is in a mess. I think I get the story, but at the same time no. And that narrator is annoying. That annoying white-haired kid is not in this episode, which is a plus.

The next episode should be good. I still don't get it why Aoto says he did all this things,while he knows it was his brother. I wonder if there will be a second season or something,because there are still a lot of questions and "main" characters who didn't have any screen time.
Overall this episode gave me even more questions haha ,but it was ok :)

Hmmm...from the previews next week's episode seems to be not much action scenes..and no ghost kid for this episode, who I think has gotten to most hate in this series so far..

Nice..they introduced Ruri in the flashback(another water-themed character)
Ariton calling her a rabbit, and the shape of her hoodie, and the "SPECIES" section on her profile kind tells us something? =D...

There will be a live broadcast event for the game and mostly they will introduce more new characters I guess..

Well I guess it was another average episode.

They finally introduced Aoto's brother and he was behind the whole Blue Christmas event which was undoubtedly blamed on Aoto.

If only getting a robot was that easy xD

So ummm, Well.. When do they plan on looking for this Divine Gate thing?

That little brother is one messed up kid. The researcher is also creepy, eugh.

Alright episode overall. Some parts of the plot are actually pretty interesting but I think they're messing up the pacing :/

Anyway, this show is improving itself imo.

Jesus, Aoto's brother loves blaming all the fucked up shit he does on him. Aoto can't seem to catch a break. And damn, 666 people? What a massacre. Well, it was another average episode, but at least that annoying little kid that always talks to Aoto wasn't in the episode. Idk why I hate him, I just do lol.

It's so funny how Aoto won't just spit it out he has an evil psycho twin brother... sign just say it already you dumb emo sack and stop covering up for him...

As for the psycho brother... I really hate it when they are trying to pull this divine gate crap for a reason to kill as many innocent people for the lulz just because they are bored sign... While at the same time there are people with real problems and are struggling to survive, good lord just kill yourself already.

I'm honestly considering whether to drop this anime. It can be quite boring and there ps nothing really special about it in my opinion.

I think this epsiode is the best so far. The mystery stuff was kinda interesting but a bit dozy at times. I feel like the action scene was done quite well, maybe a bit too quickly paced.

Aoto really pisses me off how he covers up his brothers wrongdoings and pins all pf the blame on himself. I wish he would stop.

The opening of this show portrays it as more of an adventure type show focusing on the 6 main characters, and i honestly think it would be a lot better if thats how it actually was, but thats just my preference i guess

I'm really not sure about this one.

I suspected Aoto covering for his little brother - in both incidents. But still, this overly dramatic secrecy is annoying.
Oh god, and now we have a sexy robot girl servant.

But then there's little moments that I quite like.

Hm. Probably will still drop it.

the stupid shit they do(I assume its supposed to be poetry) is getting old but obviously they're gonna keep up with it the whole season.

idk if its just me, but I'm starting to think they're purposefully making half the characters look the same so I have to question who the fuck aoto's brother is. theres a million blonde, blue eyed guys in this world I guess.

666 people killed? Really? Uh, okay. Did he actually count them or was it just an incredible coincidence? Either way this was really stupid and I burst out laughing when I realized just how much. Also, how many more crimes are going to be put on Aoto?

I enjoyed the action, though.
