Aww, I found this episode kinda cute.

We got Tennouji back to his school life days again. Cute to see Kotori as a kid! This episode felt lighthearted until the battle in the second half. Oh Tennouji just can't ever catch a break this season, can he?

Definitely felt this episode was more different than the others so far. The Terra Arc is among us!

Pretty solid I think. Terra shouldn't be that hard to adapt on paper admittedly but still pretty good. Should also be a lot less confusing for anime-only viewers than Moon was

Pretty good episode.

The opening scene with Koutarou in what looked like some kind of military operation came out of nowhere. People were even calling him Bond? What? xD

Thank goodness for the flashback since that was pretty easy to follow.
So since Koutarou no longer gets stabbed by Kagari and rescued by Kotori in this timeline, he grows up normally and is hence older than all the girls. Kid Kotori and Akane were really cute.
Gotta admit that Koutarou's personality here is a little darker, especially noticeable when he kills the UMA's, I like it though. xD

Damn, Kid Kotori is absolutely savage. XD I did like how she influenced Kotarou with the whole quitting Martel and Pero incident. Looking forward to see what happens.

This was a pretty good start to kick in for the episode, we're right now at Terra Route or Terra Arc, whatever people may call it. The pacing was fast indeed when its on paper, but when it was translated I didn't found anything missing per say. They did it pretty nicely in fact.

There's a bit of "going back" into this which knowing me I'll pretty much break when we get to the bigger shit, but note the beginning of this arc is mostly buildup towards what's coming.

The way they also managed Kotarou's personality or the way the script was done was pretty nice of course to be honest, it also gave the entire



Also, this is the first time (for VN readers) that we get to see how Iko, Kotarou's Parents and Pero looks like in reality. Pero looks adorable though and same with Iko, though Iko in here was pretty hilarious. Kotarou's parents looks pretty weird though but I think they look nice.

My only issue with this episode is probably some few noticeable derps in here, but aside from that this episode was pretty damn good, and a good start for Terra's Route because... Terra is amazing in my eyes.

About the "Bond" thing. You will probably see why at the later episodes along with the explanation of why they called him Bond. :3

and Kotori is pretty savage indeed, that's why she's good, even as a kid. :P

This episode was so AMAZING from start to finish. Kotarou in military <3. New OP is so bonkers, i was so hyped. And the full ED devoted to one and only Kotarou Wooo.
Little Akane is so cute <3 Kotarou parents are not very likable o_o I was expecting his father to be second Kotarou :(
Earth-saving hunter Ahhh. Kotarou letting the monster suck his blood was so amazing. We got to see young Guardians. Esaka looked sick young. Like him.
Young Yoshino tho was the most funniest moment, i was laughing pretty hard :D
Little Kotori is so pretty <3 and she has amazing personality.
Anyway super excited for next episode and for Kotarou leaving Martel, interesting what will happen next.

Btw Deadman Wonderland anyone? :P

LUIS!!! That OP, maaaaaaaan.

Everything about this was, as expected, soo much better. When it's a little quicker like this Kotarou's edgyness stands out more, which I'm sure will get hate but I think they did a good job with it. Wasn't near as nostalgic in an unsettling way as the corresponding VN parts, but they still have time to build a little more on that.

Chibi Akane is <3, and Kotori is as savage as she should be, same with poor Pero.. Chibi yoshino was the best though. "what kind of rock do you listen to?"

VN reader.

The pacing was pretty good and I can't recall anything major that was cut out. Though, I wish they showed more lines from little Yoshino since it would have explained more why he ended up an outlaw.

I hope they stay consistent for what's to come. All they have to do is copy & paste the VN and find a way to adapt the many "choices" and I'll be destroyed by the end of Terra.

I might be a minority here but I absolutely love Douchtarou and how cold Kotori is. Looking forward to more BONDO aka Best Kotarou!



... I like Douchtarou too xD though I HATED ONE SCENE FROM HIS END. And I will say this. I HATED THE (SPOILER ALERT)



But that was still good though xD

So strange that this anime always throws you in just like it's nothing, well i asked the question about Kotarou and Kotori's relationship for the previous episode so i'll wait for the next answers (why doesn't Kotarou remember Akane and vice versa, and same goes to the Hunters and if it's because of the accident and Kotori reviving him, Akane could've (mb she was too small) then just Hunters should've remembered him, i thought it's because it's another storyline/world, but i really don't feel that's right). Again i hope that all will be answered soon.
I think it's really worth to mention that little Akane was so cute =/
Well i thought that this episode was pretty dark and with that in mind i don't think i should expect happy ending, or mb it's quite opposite that with how well all the previous lines went it ended as a bad/sad ending so there's some kind of hope.

The questions you have have already been answered in the first season, so I'll just remind you. Yes, Kotarou doesn't remember little Akane because of the accident he had, and Akane remembers him a little (she isn't so small she wouldn't remember him, there's another reason said later). And the Hunters, for example Esaka, they DO remember him, in the 13th episode when Kotarou fights against Esaka, he says some things that make that clear now.

@Rodielx Thanks for reminding, i assume that the accindent affected his whole childhood memory and that he doesn't question it, but just don't remember something like that was said in the first season or i shoud've come up with it myself because a lot of stuff in this anime is quite confusing (without VN mb).
And about Esaka wasn't paying attention i guess or it wasn't sticking out very clear.

Yea, I, anime-only viewer, feel like it's gonna be rather straight-forward now :) nice episode to set up the new arc atmosphere with known characters, cannot wait to see the development!

Just where in the timeline is supposed to sit the first scene before the OP when he was a soldier?!

And he somehow already met Kagari at the bottom of the big tree :) And I guess those creatures weren't around for no reason!!

Very nice episode. The beginning was interesting. Looks like he's in the military and his name is Bond lol The flashback was great. Got to see young Kotarou, Kotori, Akane, and Yoshino. It was nice of Kotarou to find Pero. He quit Martel afterwards. His personality is very different.

This Koutarou is so emo I ended up laughing when he was like I have no friends to Esaka and then he became homodachis with him

This Kotori is so damn arrogant, I like

They are so different from their usual personalities, but the bond is as interesting.

I liked this episode but God Koutarou was so emo
Guess we can expect lots of Kotori and Akane for now (which is great coz my favorite characters)

The new OP does a good job at showcasing Kazamatsuri Bond's badassery (and his treacherous nature, of course). The episode itself was rather good, though pacing and direction issues are still here. Luckily, it seems this time we're getting just enough episodes to do the Terra route justice.

He was older than them from the start, but in season 1 he looks their age because when Kotori revived him with her druid powers, it delayed his aging process heavily.

If you found Moon Arc confusing, you will need to rewatch it again. Each detail was important there to understand what is actually happening, why the world ended in Season 1, and why this is ultimately called Rewrite.
