Mostly explanation in this episode. Narugino collapses yet again......lets see what happens next week
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Exposition, fucking around and....what? that's it?

Last 3 better be worth my time, hopefully the preview doesn't mean the cliffhanger was entirely meaningless.

Not much happened but it gave some more details on the current situation. Cute Christmas party. Seems Narugino's sickness is taking a turn for the worse.

Mr.Uchikoshi, stop pretending you are still writing for a game, the prelude means nothing because I can't do anything, no one watching this show can do anything. And you little rules are extremely counter-productive and self-contradictory, not only they are limiting Yuta's options and the first rule implies you have some knowledge about how things will turn out by a certain kind of action, if you know it then the MC is just a pawn to do your work, don't tell him to figure things out himself tell him what to do right away. 6,373,153,740 times of trial and error, seems like you should be the one actually trying to make your project to succeed, you've got to get bored watching the same cat porn 6 billion times, right?

Grandpa read the script, I wish I can read the script.

This show really has lots of characters who are told to do things, with no second thought of why they are doing and what is the meaning of their actions, first Mikatan and Yuta, then Meika.

Damn it Yuta, you've only got six days to live, and you are not even drunk.

The cat is Meika's father, he knows everything and that's why he doesn't want Yuuta to change anything.

Reasonable theory. Chiranosuke tends to be a bit too strict on Yuuta in regards to changing history without his permission. He also seems to have a plan of his own.

ok here is what I have thought so far

the one in the first episode which I think Pine's body and the leader of Qmay is the one who created the Uber and experimented on them after his defeat he left the body which Guriko came back for it from the past to possess young Rabura and fax it to Meika's grandfather/creator which explains how the Qmay leader knows Yuta and is also now missing.

judging from the preview I think Chiyoko know pine already

and Justice Punch members
Meika
Mikatan/Chiyoko
Yuuta/Pine
Guriko(?)
Rabura(?) or his brother(?)

Interesting episode. I wonder if at some point one of Yuuta's time travel versions possessed Rabura to get her to send those faxes or something.

Really? 8 episodes into this and hardly anyone has figured out who Chiyoko and Guriko's VA's are?

The reason why those two's VAs aren't in the cast list is because they are already in that list as different characters. The majority of anime don't really put a VA who is already in the cast list be credited for other roles within the show.

If anyone who is currently watching Kyokai no Rinne would closely realize that the original Chiyoko (before the swap) has a similar voice to Sakura Mamiya, who happens to be voiced by Marina Inoue. Guess who she voices in Punchline? Yuta. After the body swap Pine (in Chiyoko's body) keeps the same seiyuu from Chiyoko's body but her voice is slightly lowered to sound boyish because of Pine.

This is the same with the original Guriko, voiced by Sora Amamiya but Chiyoko in Guriko's body still retains the voice from the body. I also realize this because when comparing Chiyoko and Chiyoko in Guriko's body singing the spell/song, their vocal tones may sound the same but are definitely different.

So there you go, Chiyoko and Guriko are voiced by Marina Inoue and Sora Amamiya respectively.

The episode shows the events still not explained and some of the information to understand the story, but does not show any substantial change to change course events. Also the characters were poorly characterized so far, except perhaps Meika.
Drawings not bad, not the best animations on the market.
For now she's doing the TV series, but I expected a lot more.

Seems like Yuuta took down Qmay a bit early and even helped Meika with her repairs.
Rabura's and Rando's parts were explained well.

And Mikatan goes down.
Next episode will be a bit more serious, according to the preview.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

After one month Crunchyroll finally fixed "Uber".

I just watched the whole series up to this point, so I can confirm that they fixed it in all the prior episodes too.

This is a really odd series. The time loop thing has all the brain-bending hallmarks of Virtue's Last Reward (not surprising given the author), but then, there's all the over-the-top fanservice shoehorned into it for no readily apparent reason. I guess it helps disguise the brain warping a little, but it sets a very confusing tone.

Seems like there's no plot development this episode. The only thing i noticed is the fax machine than told the grampa of Meika the future message.
Aside from that...the karaoke was hilarious. Yuuta doesn't even want to sing but in the end he still sang! haha!
Oh no Mikatan! she's running-out of pills again.

Very interesting development, I really like how he's changing his action, but will it work? And that ending sure didn't look too good so let's see what's next!

In my opinion Yuuta is forgetting to learn the truth, but i´m not angry, he would try to protect he friends with all he have.
We are leraning lot of interesting things since chapter 4!

Yuta figuring stuff out. I still think he shouldn't have beat Turtle Man. Should have let the bullies die.

Perbeart.

I don't get the whole thing where he can't change the past without permission. I mean, if he has failed ump-teen billion times, doesn't he pretty much HAVE to change something or be doomed to repeating past failures?

This reminds me of Sakurasou.

Am I right? Yuuta is mentally Male, since they swapped bodies when the lightning struck and they went Uber, His Male soul went into a Female body. You could say he's a Guy trapped inside a Girl.

And Mikatan falling for her own body .. LMAO
