Not as good as the first two, but definitely better than the third. A couple of sad moments, especially when Isla did the whole fake smile thing after her flashback with Kazuki.

I think Michiru is gonna be one of those characters that some really like and others really dislike. She is incredibly tsundere. I like her so far, but I won't be surprised if she gets annoying later on. Zack is really funny though.

This episode did bug me a little though, because Souta does not seem like a 8 or 9 year old. His VA did not do a convincing job, and although I thought his emotions were well justified and made sense, the dialogue he spouted made him feel way older than he actually is. There is no way a child his age could have formulated his emotions into sensical lines of dialogue. It didn't detract from the emotions that came at the end between him and his Giftia too much, but it does feel jarring at points.

It isn't my AOTS anymore, that goes to Ore Monogatari, but it is still a fantastic show, for seasonals at least. A fairly close second.

This anime is so touching, hit me right in the gut.
And omg the black market guy cliffhanger piss me off so much, I hope the next episode is about them getting Marcia back and uncovering the black market network at the same time.
FUMING!!!!!!!

Michiru please shut the fuck up. She's so awful that even her backstory did nothing for me.

If it wasn't for Isla I would have already given up on this.

Tsukasa relies too much on others. Michiru seems much more reliable, she should just replace him as the protagonist.

Isla trying to smile was adorable <3

The sifting scene was so cute. "Don't put your on hands on me all of a sudden." xD

The bad guy is here. Maaan, I don't want drama related to bad guys in this show. The show is already sad enough.

Oh, and I love the ED (although the OP is good as well)

I really loved this episode, I have to admit I was moved to tears really badly at the birthday party; in contrast they were many funny moments that made me laugh for good (especially Isla's smile), an anime with many funny and sad moments... just the type I like.

From the ending of this episode we can presume that the serious events will starts in the next episode... looking forward to it.

She finally said something. Maybe the changes are coming in to effect because of Tsukasa's efforts.
This got a little emotional half way during that surprise birthday scene.

But you know, for once I would of wished that the black market person would be some extremely hot chick or handsome guy, rather than some creepy looking fucker. Less generic.

I most certainly hope that it isn't anything like the robots in UN-GO. XD But in all seriousness, I don't think that it's anything TOO crazy. They probably force them into labor camps. At least...I think that's what would make the most sense anyway. Since they lose their personality and their will, but retain their basic functions, they would be the easiest to control...maybe.

It seems that Kazuki got too attached to Isla so they quit working with each other. I wonder if she makes similiar relation with Tsukasa.


yeah ... feels like that was the moment that Isla stopped caring / shut down emotionally ... but it is nice to see the cracks in her veneer beginning to appear for Tsukasa

They could have done it better if they kept the black market stuff unmentioned because it kind of gave away what to expect by the end of the episode. Poor script-writing. Besides, Michiru being too generic a character isn't helping the cause either.

Also, the nice character design of Marcia and then the old bear's lousy face in the end served their purposes. The anime hasn't really impressed me much since the end of first episode tbh.

Lowering the overall rating to a 7/10 and will hope it actually picks up.

OT but, of all the new anime, this season's most enjoyable ones thus far have been Oremono, Shokugeki and Yamada-kun. Just wanted to mention this since some fans are giving this anime way too much credit.

I liked the episode a lot, but I didn't understand something: why doesn't SAI Corp just put up ads or something that warn everyone who is expecting their Giftia to be taken away to check the spotter/marksman for proper ID. That guy in the end just barged into the kid's home with some weak excuse - seems legit.

Anyway, the episode was pretty touching, and not in the overly-emotional way. I like how it's keeping up a calm, steady pace in terms of drama. Isla is pretty much Yin (Darker than Black) reincarnated, only not nearly kuudere enough and still awesome. The tsundere is annoying as usual, but I guess every 2nd anime has to have one, right?

I'm enjoying this show a lot so far, hopefully it doesn't mess up.

4.5/5

Dont feel bad. Its a normal reaction towards tsunderes by many. Cant help but hate that stereotype myself, no matter how good the character may be.

Trying to extract their memories to get personal info on the owners then rob their bank accounts?
Reprogram them and then sell them in the black market?

Bah, who am I kidding, we all know what that slimy bastard is up to - he wants to put Marcia's tits to good use. The next episode will probably be all about saving those boobs :D

At this point I doubt they will go into any details. This series basically skims over anything remotely interesting about how that world is working and go straight for cheap drama and crappy cliches.

Yet another disappointing episode. We got more information about the world, but those information wrapped in such a mediocre episode was not enough redeeming quality. And I am really curious as to why there's no such thing as age restriction in owning a Giftia.

I have this one theory that the reason why the Terminal Service One have done poorly at cutting costs is they have been so careful and fully considering the Giftia's owners feelings when retrieving their Giftias & that makes the retrieving longer than the upper people wanted it to be, resulting in much bigger costs.
I like anime.

nice to have a precise description of what happens once the giftias go past the expiration date
it was already pretty clear from the description of the anime, but good anyway to have a confirmation

a wanderer sounds creepy

oh wtf, just after they mentioned a black market retriever there was just one showing up
wonder what do they do with expired giftias, if they can use them while expired or if they just disassemble them

Ah, well. At least she gave it her best try. Not all people can smile naturally.

It seems that It's remains 4 for 4 as far as the feels are concerned. And god dammit, get away from them you suspicious gap-toothed fuck!

My guess is that next episode starts the next day when Tsukasa and Isla were supposed to come, only to hear that Souta porbably gave into the pressure and believed him...

And based on some other posts, I seem to be one of few who like Michiru... Not as much as Isla, but I still like her.
