That guy with invisibility simply peace out from the fight and never to be seen again. Dude probably went home, away from all the bs.

Also I counted, "Are you okay Kasane" was repeated 3 times in this episode.


I loved that bit.

Way to use your powers in the best way possible.

Blonde heterochromia dude was pretty sus just showing himself out of the fight lmao. I think that episode felt better pacing wise than the last episode, but everything still came out of left field. I wonder what that black hole was about. Did Kasane just wake up in the future? And that was Yuito in the japanese kind of hat and he was older, damn.

So they're just gonna let Gemma get away with what he did? Like "Oops I killed a bunch of people but now I see it was wrong." Tsugumi seems to be the only sane person.

probably one of the better adapted episodes imo, it just sucks that the beginning was adapted so poorly so this feels very confusing

Ah, Gemma explains why he betrayed his own team/Seto. Personality rehabilitation, huh what a nice way to say brainwashing. I agree with other comments saying that they forgave Gemma too fast and only Tsugumi is being logical.

Another fine pickle our cucumber heroes are in this episode! Kasane was the most popular name yelled this episode and Karen is still the worst match for a name. I mean maybe Bill or Fred ..... but Karen? Meanwhile it looks like this is going to save our heroine up in the sky:

Wow, I saw this exact comment on another site. Someone named Astral. It was a funny comment.

Yea, looks like a lot of ppls aren't liking the way they're doing this series.

The Art and Animations aren't that bad, but the pacing and setting is just bad... they explain nothing about "Others" and "Abilities", where did they came from? (even if it's false, they should still have some sort of backstory to deceive the public in the series, but nothing...)

And the story feels kinda rushed or off.

___ ___ ___

And apparently everyone in the OSF knows about the "brainwashing"?..... yet no one did anything about it and just let it happen?... the fuck?

Also... "changing personality" my ass... changing personality doesn't mean you also change or erase memories.

a lot of questions

not a lot of answers

meh

currently still a 6/10, but trending very close to a 5/10 if the next episode is the same "quality"

there are no characters i actually care about at this point, which is a problem

Shame on you Gemma by putting more trust in a guy literally called Karen than your good friend Seto

I don't understand Gemma keeps saying he wants answers but then just fights instead of getting answers by asking questions, just talk you idiot lol.

I legit cannot get over how much better the anime conveys the story of the game than the game itself. Like, this is the first game adaptation anime I've ever seen that isn't total trash, but actually BETTER; at least so far! But I have no reason to think it's going to just fall off a cliff when they've been nailing it so great thus far!

So many things are setup and alluded to that just kind of happen out of nowhere in the game, so I can see the buildup. Things like Karen and what he's really up to; it literally comes out of nowhere at this point in the game, but it's been setup since episode 1 here.
Hell, we've even SEEN things like "Baki" in the anime, whereas the game mentions it, but we never see it.

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, it's super fun and engaging, but the anime just streamlines the narrative so much better, it's shocking. Maybe Kasane's route is better? But so far with Yuito's route, nothing is outright explained that well.

Gemma got a lot of development here, which I enjoyed and I can already see kernals of the others getting more soon. You have to play for 10+ hours just to get development of like 4 characters, and we're only 4 episodes in and we're moving through the cast. Gonna guess Kagero or Tsugumi will probably be next.
Kyoka, in the Yuito route at least, has barely even been seen in the background. And Seto's death was handled just as well; even though he's your commander in the game, he barely does anything, so he got just as much development here as there. It worked!

All in all, this series has been a surprise hit for me and I'm enjoying it! I like it better than the game and I hope it keeps this up! These writers knew how to tell this story a lot better.

Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.
