Well, that's a pretty crazy way to start off the episode.

I wonder why Alis the is the only one who can leave though. I might've missed something earlier.

I'm really loving this show again. I didn't like the school escape arc very much though, it was boring. Now the show is exciting again.

Agreed. I love a good mystery and this arc is giving us that! Not looked at the other comments much to be honest in case they contain spoilers. Can't wait for next week.

Until Ai appeared I thought I was missing an episode because suddenly there are Alis and Dee behaving very differently from earlier episodes...

I think this episode/arc is easily better than the previous arcs about school prison and then trying to find Scar. That said, the whole artificial world that repeats itself forever just reminds me of
.

I just hope that the resolution and events leading to it will not be as rushed or abrupt as what we have seen so far - I mean, even the first arc, which is the best told, still skimps way too much from the novel.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I am really liking this arc. Seems like Dee was the one who made the wish as she fell out of the window (?)... I really like her, so, sorry Alis, but I’m taking her side. :D

Besides, isn’t this great for the people that don’t notice the loops? Instead of being selfish, he should just let them be. Repeating a year without realizing it seems plenty better than living in a world full of dead people.

I knew it, it was Dee which he did say.

I think from the info we know, Dee is the one who wished this other world.

I thought I missed an episode at first.

Anybody else think of the Endless Eight Arc?

I was already suspecting that Dee was not an ally.
I think that her personally was also split into two.
It was an interesting episode.

So that's why he was so dismissive of the whole birthday thing.

Hmm... I wonder if Dee is the one creating the world.

This could be the best anime of the season. It's a sign of just how close things are that it's still up in the air.

Hmm, so Dee wants to stay there and Alis wants to destroy that world? And I presume that anyone who died in that loop can't go outside in living body but rather as ghost? (that means Dee died also during those 14 years. I guess she is the one who holds this world together).

Anyway, I still don't know how this all relates to the world outside, gravekeepers and other weird things - cause outside world doesn't seem to be fake (people die there normally). And seeing only two episodes are left I think this series provides no explanation to those things whatsoever. It will end in bitter disappointment I guess.

"I get it already."

Wow. So that's the "world" Alis is trying so hard to destroy. An eternally looping world that traps living outsiders in it. Judging from the scenes of their backstory I've seen, it seems to imply that the world was the result of not the class wishing for it, but of Dee being the one who made the wish.

It's pretty clear to me that she's attracted to, if not already in love with Alis; and as such she stood to benefit the most from that situation - assuming that the fall from the window otherwise would have killed her/turned her into undead had she had not made the wish.

Since Alis wants to destroy that eternally looping false world, naturally Dee would oppose him if she really were the one who wished it to exist. Not having read the novels, of course I can still certainly be wrong on these points...

Same here.

Pretty interesting episode. Had a lot of cute Dee and Ai moments :3

And wait, did Alice really lure 35k people there? What the heck, that's fucking cruel :S

I guess Dee is the enemy because she is the one who really wished for this world and maybe what we saw at the end is her dying (maybe it was in the real world before anything else happened) and then she wished for this and that she may not die. And she can't leave the world in a physical form because she already died.

I don't think is certain Dee made that world. Since people are alive in that fake world what happens if you kill them? Probably they die but that world doesn't allow them to be dead. So when they get out of that world they become dead. Dee seems to have tried to fix the curtains or something and end up falling and dieing but she could still be kept alive because of that world. When she went out of it she discovered she couldn't have a body because she died and the only place she can have physical form is that place so that's why she likes that world. Not necessary because she made that world.

Oh, c'mon!
Do the math, please!
It's 7 people everyday, for 5110 days (14 years) without stop.
Tricking that many people is just... NONSENSE!

That number can't be true... It must be a mistake. Yes, it's a mistake! A HUGE mistake. Even a few thousands would be an overestimation.
That or Alis was overly dumb to need that many tries to figure out so few things...

Sorry, I couldn't let this one pass.

I completely agree with you Acxelion, that is a great way of explaining it. I haven't read the novels or anything and I have a similar idea. If someone who has read the novels can confirm my idea that would be great.

Dee is actually dead. She was brought back by the wish of the students in the world, as in she died before the world was abandoned by God. The students of Class 3-4 probably made a generic collective wish for things to be as they were, and in that scenario Dee was still alive and a member of their class. This would also be a reason as to why Dee is Alis' enemy. If Alis destroys the space world then Dee cannot exist elsewhere. I think the only reason she can even be a ghost in the real world is because she has an existance within the space-world.
I do agree that she probably loves Alis, and I think that Alis loved her back because of the window flashback from the previous episode and the hint that Dee died by falling through a window.

Regardless this was an awesome episode, Alis has a pretty violent streak to him, and even though he is physically 16, he is mentally 29?! Does this dash the hopes of all the AixAlis shippers out there?


I agree with both of you, that's what I think too.

Well, let's see if it's correct.

The start of the episode was intense!!!!!

wow I really love the mechanics of this anime universe
so this is like a world within a world stuck in an infinite loop that was created by the wishes of someone or a group of people
this also makes sense why Alis thinks birthday celebrations are mundane because he is stuck in time
It seems there won't be a conclusion to this anime.......
I guess i'll have to be content with a series of short stories >.>

Damn, that's a way to start an episode.

"Rather than relying on outside interference, can you influence the world by going directly after the students of Class 3-4?" "I gave it a shot." I see what you did there Alis.

So from what I can gather Dee died in an accident cleaning the classroom and the class wished to reset the world to before she died. Since she died, she is the only one that remembers and has to exist as a spirit in the outside world. But then in the preview Dee said "I'm alreadyt covered in Alis' blood" So either Dee or Alis died and if they fix that world then one of them is going to die. Great episode!

I'm a little confused. If the loop's 14 years in the past and Alis realized it after two loops or two years does that meant he spent 12 loops/12 years after trying to figure out how to get out?

Alis just freakin' shot everyone in his class. But he did it to prove a point.
So in this world that was wished by Class 3-4, Dee is Alis' enemy.
I guess Dee would be pretty mad since Alis did bring 35,695 people in.

By the way, other people are making some good theories. Hopefully they are theories and not spoilers.
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.

So this is essentially a separate dimension stuck in a temporal loop. What a boring departure from the initial themes of life, death, decay, rebirth and eternal rest that will likely never be addressed again now that this anime is fixated on Alice's pretentious brooding. The "Half-Dead Syndrome" that was mentioned only once had far more potential for tragedy and disquiet than this arc will ever have, despite it ultimately never being substantiated.
