So things finally started moving, huh? I guess that the original story did spend quite some time in innocent slice-of-life too after all.

Things finally start moving forward. The beginning was very awkward and unnatural though, Kagari's reactions after regaining her memories were...eeehh...not exactly believable. I expected better direction. Also I don't appreciate the use of ending song during the anime, it just did not fit the situation. I could've felt more emotions during the wall shot if it wasn't shown with the ED song.

Damn, the happiness is gone again, the ones who did that to Kagari need to be tortured!

It appears that our good friend Professor Alexis Leskinen is likely involved. That doctor in the future looked a hell of a lot like an older version of Leskinen. So my guess is that he took samples of Kagari for Amadeus in the future and perhaps he then found her back in 1998 and recognized his future work and proceeded to build it - along with a time machine perhaps. If that's the case that would render Amadeus a predestination paradox, just like the song in the previous episode.

What I cannot get or accept is why/how they show Mayuri in 2036 without having aged a day though 26 years have passed. Unless that's a past Mayuri who time traveled to the future (doubtful) this was a very poor choice.

She is definitely older, she has a bit different design.

Btw, Japanese people doesn't really age in their early years xD

I thought the only different part about her was in her voice. Her VA Kana Hanazawa appears to speak in a bit more mature, or at least less childish way. Visually I saw no difference.

inb4 that's actually the AH Tokyo General hospital, can't be since it's in the mountains area after all.

But that was such a nice inclusion to the story, it was never mentioned where Kagari has been for the past 12 years in the VN

Why was Karagi even allowed to be alone? That's just straight up stupid but whatever. The brainwashing is real, done by a weirdass doctor. So she's a sample of Amadeus. AND DAMN THAT ENDING, fucking scary as hell.

..honestly feel like mayuri would & should have a better/ more mature understanding of what okabe tells her about kagari in the beginning. her response just makes her sound more dumb than in the 1st season & that unnecessary consciously decided buttshot of suzuha made me roll eyes so bad, its cringe

Things finally getting real interesting. Kagari got detained and brainwashed for 12 years and was just plainly tragic, it seems obvious but I still hope Leskinen wasn't the one behind this, especially with the Amadeus system sample shown in the test paper. The reveal of the doodles in the wall is straightly terrifying, brings up many questions and assembled many unsorted puzzle pieces.

I thought they wanted kaguri to be inside and to be always with someone. Why she running around so much by herself lately lol

So the brainwashing/memory wipe was obvious. Though does it go super far back when she was in the future though or was that actually just ptsd treatment.

it's too convenient for the characters, "I'll say a line to finally give out that my memories are different, then when she asked, I'll give back the accent so that you finally ask that our memories are not the same," naturally, it's so convenient that Okarin found this place on the first attempt, you see, they still found the LEVER, exactly on the same day, she caught PTSD, it's strange so far, that is, they are trying to make the plot focus on some specific character (not even the main one), and this has a difference with the original S;G. So far, it's strange to be honest, the first 6 episodes are an introduction, you can still understand, then there were three or four good episodes, although slightly like this, it seemed to be addressed to the fans, and now they let the slack go back.

It's damn cruel how they made Mayuri wish Kagari just ruined her own surprise party by arriving early after all.

Also, INITIAL D MOEKA

WOW, intense, that Suzuha fight with Kagari and then Kagari knowing about her mother and her parties and that Mozart key which triggered her brainwashing.
There is literally no breaks in this anime.

That Initial-D reference, loved it.
The facility is creepy, unsettling and that nod to the Professor.

Now we are going on a week hiatus, probably meaning new OP and ED song or visuals.






The Upa looks like it's crying in the end. What a nasty nudge. I love it!
@Mxxxstation so fucking true everything you said. The fact that kagari's doctor holds a paper titled "k6205" amadeus system sample...

no fucking way, now that i read the comments... i knew dr leskinen and that fucking bitch were so fucking suspicious oh my fucking god. that is so fucking cruel and creep and evil and wicked no fucking way. on god this anime has no chill. All the stuff is crazy from the similarities that kagari has with makise (she's literally the same person, i bet makise is the real mother) then all the brainwashing, the fact that MOZART triggered it, the last scene is so raw and cruel, the fact that kagari's doctor is dr leskinen... stop...
