| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The whole reunion between Aoto and his bro is just dull, filled with bad expressions and hypocrisy, according to their conversation anyways.. Although the show is still somehow concentrating on the Divine Gate story... I thought the whole past background story felt meh as well, as expected by this point with their parents. At least it does have some ties with the Divine Gate rather than being filler. The action was okay but with more 1 more episode left, I think the show is beyond salvage now lol. And true form of the Divine Gate? |

| Oh so they're twins cool....Seeing their past in full detail was something but at the end of the day, their parents really were shit Also it made me very happy to see those gods get REKT from Oz |
| And this week it's the clown ! (and Undine maybe) |
| So basically it's just Aoto that use "wrong" method in order to protect his brother from their parents abuse, and his brother that always get the "wrong" idea about Aoto's method to protect him. And thank you very much, Aoto. I always want to ask that to "him" too. |

| Ehhh, probably one of the better episodes... but I couldn't care less though about what's going on. 3/5 |

 The past doesn't determine everything. The future is up to you. - Fodder Queen |
| The whole reunion and backstory was honestly just bad and twisted in a completely hypocritical way. The younger twin is mad cause the older twin tried to protect him? That's just stupid. Their parents suck too. Tying to a tree? Why would they even do that?u.u So basically the younger twin wants to prove that Aoto's feelings towards brotherhood, protecting him and family are purely superficial. Correct me if I'm wrong. The younger twin is fighting Aoto to prove that Aoto hates him? I have no words to say So that kid is some kind of key to the divine gate, And our main trio have a the right to change the past or future apparently? Why them? My attempts at trying to care for what is actually going on seem to be more and more futile. Well at least there's only 1 episode for this mess to end in a mess. |
 |
| The story is really coming together well. All of the plotpoints are starting to make sense. Also you should not try to make sense of Aoto's brother's words. Simply he put, he went crazy after seeing his brother take the blame for him. Cant wait to see what happens on the final episode |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
| His brother is a jerk Aoto is insane for protecting him |

| Uh... o-kay... Yea... At least what happened was comprehensible, I guess... Yea, story was okay, fight scene was okay as well. Still waiting for the puzzle to be completed and everything to be connected, hoping that the last episode will clear some of my questions of the list. So for now, yea, there's something going on. But will it end in a good way? It's all connected! /5 |
 |
| The brother can die, he went crazy. |
| dammit it was like watching mahou sensou all over again, constant talking without truly fighting. mad props to Aoto's brother for hyping it up. It's only after Undine takes a blade wound that Aoto *cough* truly awakens. episode preview seems like the next NIISAN fight will be horrendously anti climatic I mean Aoto's brother finally served his purpose for Aoto's development if only the show chose to focus on a smaller amount... |
 |
| After seeing how the fight of Aoto and his brother doesn't end this episode, I only can predict a really rushed ending who will close the subplots of Loki, Aoto's brother and what the fuck happened with Ginji's friends last episode. Aoto's brother is just a crazy jerk. That reminds me, what happened with the guy who appeared in the 4th episode who was in love with Aoto's brother? |

Well at least there's only 1 episode for this mess to end in a mess. its not just that its that fact that Aoto did not consider his brothers feeling at all the brother stated that "being tied was painful but watching someone else while i am helpless is just as painful" , in other words aoto was in a way selfish and i do understand his brother.Im pretty sure that you would not like if someone was taking all the burden for you. |
Illyricus said: Aoto's brother is just a crazy jerk. That reminds me, what happened with the guy who appeared in the 4th episode who was in love with Aoto's brother? who cares,characters are all over the place in this anime and the 3 other "main characters" barely had any impact |
| this is what I came here for but at this point I don't care anymore. They messed up everything from this episode when they killed everyone. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| just one more episode until I reach maximum edge |
Tokoya said: adapatations are not supposed to be carbon copies of source materials and until the anime community in general can accept that and judge an anime based on what it presents and how they handle every episode, these threads will continue to be filled with hate posts by purists |
| Good lord this is bad. I can't even describe it anymore, but this clusterfuck finale next week should be somethin'. |
| Woah...another good episode and one where the events were a bit more coherent lol. Even though the backstory was sort of ridiculous, I think I can understand Ariton's irritation towards Aoto since nobody would like to see their loved ones shoulder all the burden and blame while you can do nothing but watch helplessly. I'm sure it must have been frustrating for Ariton to constantly see Aoto intentionally screwing around in front of his parent so they abuse him instead of just running away together from that horrible house. In the end, all that frustration towards Aoto and his pent up hatred towards his parents just twisted his personality. Also noticed some nice action sequences these past few episodes. Too bad the first half has been really horrible. |

| their parents are really messed up |
 |
| More is revealed from Aoto and Ariton's arguing, and Ariton does seem a bit off on what he's trying to do, going against his brother (the feelings are reasonable though). Not exactly sure what this show will attempt in the last episode, but at this point I'd just want to get it over with. |
 |
| Just one more episode and the train wreck will finally come to an end. This episode was mildly entertaining at the very least, so there's that. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Yawning Gate... Boring... |
| Why i even bother watching this anime? |
| Getting Tales of Xilla 2 vibe from that ending scene. The true Divine Gate |
| I actually feel this is somewhat decent when it focuses on Aoto, no matter how generic it may be. |
 |
| Heck they lost everything to reach divine gate. I don't know what a purpose can be to obtain such a thing.. Aoto had brother sure had a complicated past |
 |
| hmm... i'm not realy get what are they talking... so they're twins... wow the battle scene was good and Oz killing those weird Gods was awesome too... wait, did Aoto ever ask that annoying little brat who he is before?? or i miss something... 1 more episode... |
 |
| Meh lol glad there's one more episode left. |
| Another episode I somewhat liked, that makes two in a row now. |
~||Sky of the Night Light||~  |
| Way to turn such a memorable death into cannon fodder bullshit. #PierrotisthenewDeen. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| One more fucking episode.... KonoSuba should've been given the extra episodes and let this one be 10 episodes instead. |
  |
| The best episode in the entire show, as expected Aoto's brother was the most interesting thing to come out of this. Just 1 more episode to go! |
 |
| Liked this episode more than I thought I would, it was pretty okay. Aoto's parents really did deserve to be killed, but it's a shame that Aoto's behaviour made his brother so twisted. Next episode is gonna be interesting... unless they manage to screw it up like so many of the previous episodes xD |
| “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” ― Winston S. Churchill |
| I was reluctant to watch this because I was afraid I might fall asleep. Pretty much did. That reunion was just dull and full of what sounded like a ton of crap. Of course they try to kill the good characters again. God dammit. Oz is OP though. I think it was pretty damn obvious that the annoying kid was the key. He was everywhere with Aoto and when they mentioned the gate. Should I even bother watching the last episode? |
| This was better than the previous episodes, how are they gonna fit all the unsolved stuff in one more episode? |
 |
| The best episode in the show so far, still bored the fuck outta me tho. |
Oz's dragon attack was more badass that everything that the protagonists did in the whole series.  |
| Wow, they really had shitty parents. And more death that I couldn't care less about. |
 |
| So Aoto and his brother are twins huh ... yeah they had a pretty crappy childhood lol, looks like their parents abused them a lot ... tying them up to trees wtf O_O Either way, that "fight" with his brother was pretty lame ... dunno why nobody intervened with it either. I guess they finally went through the gate at least, that scale thing is pretty weird. The little kid is the key? Uh ... okay O_O Random Oz attack against the gods as well ... ugh. Just one more episode, I don't have high hopes for it but I guess we finally have Santa coming in for Arthur? I don't even know anymore >_< |
| The clash deathmatch with Aoto's brother was cool and BGMs are cool also. So there are chosen ones that could go past beyond the Divine Gate... 3/5. |
 |
| I'm only watching this one to the end because I just don't drop anime I start. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
MyNameIsFER said: Oz's dragon attack was more badass that everything that the protagonists did in the whole series. #PREACH to that. That was awesome! |
| Ariton's motive for killing his and Aoto's parents was revealed! Basically, it all came down to petty jealousy, and other random "hypocrisy" that I honestly could care less about. And they're legit twins besides being brothers. EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE NOW WITH THAT.....ish. One episode left to go. Will the story continue to wind itself down a greater hole? Will the characters still continue to bore me besides Loki? And will the plot actually make sense this time? We'll have to wait and see. |
| Next episode is going to be a clusterfuck. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Pretty expected development, up to the final and luckily last episode. |
