| Oh man, there's so much to talk about! We need season 3! Soooo everyone is saying that the power can somehow be transfered when they die.. so that means Qiao Ling could've got TianXi's? that could answer why she saw TX's memorias Aaand Lu Guang... damn I need answers lol so is this a different time line and he's changing it every now and then so XiaoShi keeps alive? or he only changed it once? |
Yuri_Cobaia said: CXS died when Qian Jin shot him, what proofs that is that Li Tianxi passed CXS death memory to Qiao Ling, if he died any moments after would not make any sense, since she actually had to be alive to see him dead at first place. This episode had some of the best martial arts animations, so simple but so good. Kung Fu at the peak. This anime is probably the best of the decade right now! I dont think she has to be alive? Cuz she simply transferred the memory of the Lu Guang from future, the Lu Guang from future has already witnessed the death. |
 |
| Fighting scenes are fire! And sure was an emotional last episode to end this season but clearly biggest cliffhanger is the revelation that Lu Guang did change the past to save Cheng Xiaoshi from dying I think it was to somewhat expect but still what a great revelation to end the season :o The season kinda felt there was a lot of setup because the direction it took is different from S1 and I think it worked better in S1 actually but was still very good overall, I'm hyped for S3 |
 |
| So, Tianxi wasn't dumb from birth. A fight against Qian Jin. Whoa, Li Tianxi's powers are transferred to Qiao Ling. Damn, Chen Bin wasn't killed by the pink siblings. Seems like the friend Tianchen met during his childhood isn't Liu Min, but the other Liu guy. Lu Guang broke his own rule to change the inevitable, to keep Cheng Xiaoshi alive. |
 |
| Link Click’s strengths are the cliffhangers and music for sure. As cool as the fights were, way too many of them. The fights took up a lot of time to point not much was covered this season, like others said this was a bridge season to lead up to S3. I prefer when Link Click is more about the quantum leap/time travel shenanigans 7/10 for me. |
| Damn, that ending lol Excited for season 3! |
| oh my GOD. this episode was insane??? SEASON 3 IN 2025 !!! so cheng xiaoshi died and lu guang went back to save him. next season is going to go so hard. at first i thought when xixi died, her power was given to qiao ling but it seems to only be the memories.. |
| Okay, damn was that final reveal a punch to the gut. It was honestly the best twist this season has to offer. Can't wait to see the consequences of Lu Guang's decision. And I can't believe Tianchen ran away from his sister after he realized that he was probably the reason she didn't get the mental health support that she needed as a child. Then he has the audacity to leave her photo/memory behind? What a selfish brat. His tears mean nothing to me now. (Justice for Li Tianxi! She deserved so much better lol.) But beyond that, the second season was definitely a let down compared to the first. They spent so much screen time meandering with mostly-unnecessary recap, while the first season did a wonderful job using every single minute to the fullest possible extent. I think the episodic nature of the first really worked in favor of the cliffhangers - as they subtly built up to an overarching plot. By deciding to stick to only one plotline over the course of twelve episodes this time, the story felt like it was spread too thin without the satisfying payoff. The same conflict could have been effectively told in maybe half the number of episodes with better pacing... Also, I didn't really care for the villains' POV as much. I wish the focus had been more on our main characters and how their strategies have to adapt according to new conditions, with just enough detail to understand the other characters' motivations and psychology to keep things interesting. There were definitely opportunities to explore other issues. For instance, am I the only one who couldn't really suspend my disbelief that the police was on board with creating a special force to deal with paranormal crime? There really wasn't one person who was skeptical about the proposal? Isn't that the perfect set up to explore how these powers came to be in the first place? And now you're telling me Liu Min has a brother who went to study abroad, and he was friends with Tianchen all along? Yikes! That's terrifying... Complaints aside, the production value was excellent throughout the entire show. I was completely tensed up during that final fight scene since the sound and animation was so climactic. I fully-body winced every time Cheng Xiaoshi or Lu Guang were struck by that ***hole Qian Jin. My poor injured babies. (Speaking of which, they really robbed us of a group hug when the boys reunited with Qiao Ling back at the shop, didn't they? I need a moment to feel the relief that everything is going to be fine before you tell me that it's actually NOT okay.) Anyways, here's to hoping this is just setting the stage for a better season 3. Cheers, guys! I'm going to be listening to the OP and ED songs endlessly on Spotify now. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| 😵💫That was crazy, i am assuming the power can get transfered in some form if they die, the past was changed several times but we could only see the final result until now, Lu Guang knows that and now even remembers, Future cease to exist. |
| What a sad fall from grace. I love season 1 so much but season 2 just got worse for me. Why did we spend half of this finale on Xixi’s memories of all the characters aren’t even gonna acknowledge her death and just move on? Who killed Emma? Xixi and brother had no reason to, and weren’t even willing to kill the cop when they were forced to. |
| Link Click is the best anime with time traveling since Steins;gate. The art and ost are so good. I'll miss it until the 3rd season. |
Reply to wangsimian
@Jailed Tian Chen used Tian Xi's combination ability to kill Emma when Tian Xi was still sleep. (There are hints of this in episode 9 of the anime.) This time, due to Chen Bin's intense feelings for his unborn daughter, he interrupted Tian Chen's control and even woke up Tian Xi."
| @wangsimian That makes sense. Tbh I wish they expanded more on scenes like these rather than recapping the characters running for the 4th time |
| I can't agree with the praise people are giving this season, I simply see a bunch of asspulls where Lu Guang leaps out of the shadows to save Cheng at the last moments with a very irritating final episode. I can only see Tianxi getting shot and presumably dying to be forcing emotion with a shocking death from cute semi-innocent anime girl. When that shot came out of the darkness I felt pissed and not shocked. Than Xiao shouts instead of trying to surprise his enemy thereby giving him time to defend himself. Allows another fight scene though, I guess that is what matters. I guess Lu Guang violated his rule to save his friend? Would have been better if he was to do that to save everyone and go back further and prevent any of this happening in the first place but then we wouldn't have any need for season 3! Until this conclusion I was thinking of giving s2 a solid 8/10 but thinking over everything I am simply not that impressed, a series of "shocking moments" was more prominent instead of the story. Meh. 7/10 at best for me. |

| Gente estou cada vez mais ansiosa com esse anime ^^ Episódio final muito bom e eu estou super curiosa para ver o que a Ling Qiao vai reagir quando descobrir que ficou com os poderes Tianxi Li >.< Mas ao mesmo tempo com o coração partido por saber que o futuro do Xiaoshi Cheng é trágico ... Guang Lu ainda não desistiu e com toda a certeza vai arranjar uma solução !! Ainda muito coisa está por vir » QUE VENHA A 3 TEMPORADA « |

| A lot of anime OG feel like they often have too much story to cover in 13 episodes, Link Clink is the opposite, it feels like it didn't have enough. It's like they had 40 minutes of story and they had to stretch it for 12 episodes. To be honest, compared to S1 it feels like a completely different anime which makes it hard to judge. Like it's related because it features the same characters, but the story and the set-up are so different it may as well be a spin off. It's also starts to feel like the lack of proper backstory for the main duo is getting really weird. It's been 2 seasons and I think we know like 2 things about LG. Why is he obsessed with CX for example? Also Xixi's life left like tragedy porn. Like there was no resolution to her life, she just got beaten over and over until she's shot to facilitate the development of her crazy brother, who was groomed to become a killer by some idiot who couldn't even talk to his wife. Overall pretty meh, I think it worked better when it was a story about two dudes jumping into photos to tell vignettes. |

The translation i got for this episode could use some work xd https://imgur.com/a/2GFJHPE Story & Characters: I really liked the singular focus of this season being the twins, along with Qiao Jin as a villain despite some of his intentions being a bit unclear. While I did enjoy season 1's episodic feel of CXS and LG helping various characters, the linear storyline and time travel of this season was written fairly well. Learning at the end that Lu Guang had been time travelling to save his friends really changes how we see him now, since his cold demeanor is part of his character more because of what he's been through in other timelines. Somewhat reminiscent of Homura from Madoka Magica, but the way it was played out through the series thus far has been good. Some of the characters introduced in this season likely won't show up again as they've served their purposes, but we can expect the twin brother, the detective, and even Qian Jin possibly in the future. Also this "Mr. Liu" character seems somewhat familiar for some reason... Animation: The animation felt a bit choppy in some areas, not unlike parts of season 1, but the final episode's fight really delivered in terms of impact frames and fluidity between Qian Jin and the detective. LG and CXS vs Qian Jin was also well put together. The montage of the twins running away from each other was sad but probably one of the better montages of the show. Definitely better than the one we saw at the beginning of the season where CXS was having flashbacks of LG while he ate his meal. 3D animation in the OP was pretty nice, looking forward to seeing renders like that in the future, or even shots pertaining to the episodes if they figure out a way to incorporate that. Music: The OP was better, but the ED of Season 1 is kind of hard to beat, it's just so catchy. The OST was good for serving as tension to the scenes that it was reused for, and discussions revealing information. Conclusion: Overall, was a pretty good season. Better than season 1 by a slight margin, but season 1 still has some of the better episodes in it. Looking forward to season 3 and where they'll take it. |

| Damn I just binge-watched this show in two days (would've easily done it in one if I didn't have work), and I'm at a loss for words...what a roller coaster of a season with so many emotional scenes, plot twists, and banger OSTs. This season definitely leaned more on the mystery side with so many shifts in POVs to answer questions previously brought up, but I love it. The repeated scenes were annoying at some parts, but at other times it worked for the emphasis so overall it didn't bother me too much. Ultimately, this season answered a lot of questions (especially with the background of the antagonist/pink-haired brother and the mechanisms of those with supernatural powers) but also brought up a lot more lol. That Lu Guang plot twist...should've seen it coming with all the other shows I've already watched involving time travel elements lol. So it seems like people with powers can pass on their powers to someone else upon their death. Hopefully next season will finally cover Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi's past. Also definitely curious to learn more about Liu Xiao. Easy 9/10 rating and most likely my AOTY. Definitely looking forward to re-watching this entire show when the next season comes out! |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| If Lu Guang is really come back from the future where Cheng Xiaoshi dead, my question is: How? I thought the power of going to past to a photo is Cheng Xiaoshi's power only and Lu Guang can only see what's happen at the past with that picture. Well, this is clearly clue that the story hasn't ended and possibility for the next season. I hope so because the cliffhanger they keep putting at the end of episodes hurt me a lot, ugh. |

| just waiting for the OST name list cause these were some of the greatest OST in anime |

@ConstantReader I am glad I’m not the only person who felt that this season was on the weaker side in comparison to season 1.
By the end of it, it honestly felt like a lot of dragging on and it happened in multiple episodes. When the fight scenes become boring to me, something about the pacing felt off - all while not having as much (emotional) development for the characters. It’s a shame because season 1 truly did start out on a high.
I just hope season 3 improves on the flaws season 2 suffered from and gives us something more fletched out in terms of narrative and structure.

| @SilentKitsune_95 God same, I got SO bored with the fights, they really felt like they were made too long on purpose just to drag out the episodes. And yeah I was expecting a lot more in the way of development for the characters, but for most of the show they were just pieces being moved around from one point to another, no emotional arcs at all aside from the sister. |
