So many mysteries left. Turning into a dog seems hard to explain.

The lunarians also warped the slug people into derpy forms, so it's not out of the realm of possibility they have some way to alter other lifeforms.

"This is what happens when Alex sees Lunarians." Well, they're not useful in battle...

And then the Lunarians turned into little dogs. They can do some crazy shit.

Okay, so Sensei is weirdly buddy-buddy with this Lunarian...dog...thing. Though who can blame him? It looks nice and fluffy. :3

"I wanted to see the little fluffy ones and floof them up!" Oh, Dia. Even after one of them tried to kill/capture you...

Probably the weakest episode, I like puppies and Phos's doubt in sensei, but it doesn't convince me. One episode to the end, it is hard to believe that they give a decent conclusion.


It will not. The manga is ongoing. I doubt the finale will be as good as ep 10. If anything ep 12 will be some cliffhanger into S2, showing Phos going somewhere new, maybe to the moon.

I know, once the series was over I read the whole manga and now I'm waiting for the next episode.
Anyway, the end was not bad but it wasn't great either. They skipped several episodes, omitting a lot of content to reach a point that connects to the start (cinnabar).

I really want to meet more of the gems, they're all so interesting

And the bit when the Lunarian dog evaporated was so touching :(

Eh, it's a giant dog... Well alright :'D As expected, Sensei is hiding things. I wonder if he is even a gem at all... though their (his?) name implies it somewhat.

I guess the final episode will be about Phos going to the moon willingly or something along that.

Alex?
Red Alex?
They have a pest problem now.
107 dalmations.
Now they joined as one.
Sensei is awake.
WTF!
Shiro?
Dat awakening.

Why TF do they not have more screentime!?

LOL @ Aoi Alex's reaction to the stuffed pup Lunarians hahhaha xD
Akai Alex was BAD.ASS.AF. I love crazy characters that love to slice and dice lololol

Yeyeyeyyyyy~ New character *O* I wanna see her personality. She looks STUNNING. And pls give her a nickname like how Antarcticite is called Antarc lol. I might just call her Ruby if she doesn't have a shortened name

Phos wanting to talk to the Lunarians directly was just-- hnnnggghhhhh, YES, GURL. YOU GO TELL EM DIRECTLY. GO FIND OUT THAT TRUTH.
Looking at how hard Rutile worked to awaken Ruby makes me reminds me of how amazing Phos' body is to be able to adapt to all these different materials. I've thought it before when she got her legs and then again when she had new arms, but man. It's something not all the gems can do. The microorganisms in her must be very easygoing lol

Man, too many mysteries. And this manga is still ongoing. I shouldn't have started this series.

Kongo looked suspicious from the start but now it seems there is more behind him.

I wonder if Sensei is some kind of Lunarian too. I really hope he doesn't end up betraying them or turn to evil, though I guess i'd be up to some kind of moral ambiguity and shadiness here.

There is only 1 ep left, i wonder how they will end this one especially when manga is still ongoing(?). Hopefully they will end the season strong nevertheless, maybe add another season eventually.

I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

One thing I just absolutely love about this show is how each episode ends. Not with a bang or with any type of blaring sound, but with quiet, subtle tones that match the rest of it- but still ending on something significant. Like how this one just ended with padarashpadasha however you spell her name, just opening her eyes, and then cut. Normally they’d put some hype whatever music in the background but no it’s pretty much silent as they end the episode. Just a small little thing but I appreciate it so much

A fluffy episode. Shiro, a dog in the past but now a Lunarian. The action scenes were incredible. Amazing animation for sure. Well, Paparascha is back alive. I don't think we saw him before but It's nice to see a 9 class.
Shiro was probably Sensei's dog in the past before all of this.

A rather warm and fluffy (pun intended) episode, a contrast to the previous ep which was intense, to say the least. Seeing the gems being overwhelmed by cute fluffy Lunar-puppies was hilarious, not to mention just loving the fact that even Bort can't lay a hand on them, such an adorable scene!

Though it's all not sunshine and rainbows, so it turns out that this Lunarian creature is an entity that the sensei has named 'Shiro' after its white fur. A creature that he's fond of, you can just about see the shock of disbelief that Phosphophyllite had in her eyes, especially after Cinnabar revealed to her that everyone else knew something was up between the sensei and the Lunarians. A secret she might consider as a betrayal for all the love and trust the gems had for the sensei. Her next plan to ask the Lunarians about it herself sound way too risky though, even for her...



Sidenote: Alex has the prettiest hairstyle, hands down.

Keeping up the mystery surrounding Sensei, which for some reason i was looking most forward to have a conclusion of, but I guess now it isn't possible. Also guess we'll have a new gem next time around.

Totally in love with the episode. Shiro and Kongo encounter and goodbye was so touching, both heartwarming and heartbroken. It was also nice to see some glimpses of Rutile's character and their dreariness. Phos continues to be amazing.

Sensei is loved my gems and lunarians alike. Even Ventricosus had a crush on him. I really think he's keeping secrets for their sake. Doesn't look malicious to me.

Kinda hard to believe that Paparadscha is the only 9 considering that there's ruby and sapphire as well, but maybe they're off on the moon. I hope there's some answers about the moon people next episode because this is a strange time to introduce a new character unless he knows a lot.

It seems Sensei has a connection to the Lunarians. He called that thing Shiro. Phos is starting to feel he's hiding something from them because he's so secretive. Everyone else knew about his relation to the Lunarians, but not her. They all just choose to trust him.
From the start, I felt like he was not trust worthy. Hiding everything

It's good to see the story going back to it's root in a way. The subtle nature mysterious coupled with the Buddhist themes, the philosophy of life and world building suit it quite well. It being overly showy can be quite dull when all is said and done. Unfortunately for someone like me, the final episode just seems like will be ending on a note of just flashy action from the preview. I however don't like the constant back and forth where Phos' character just contradicts itself time and time again.

I wonder if sensai was human and the dog was his. The lunarians are the soul aspect and the dog did find "peace" and moved on as per usual ghost or spirit type things.

But I loved those little dog versions so much. MORE

I was wrong last post, the beast apparently is a cute fluffer & the sensei is MAD sus. The fact everyone was also in on it is crazy to me. Phos being woken up to the reality of things is both sad yet healthy there's a new resolve Phos has acquired from all of this. Makes sense why Cinnabar has their issues and why Alex does too. Also, that Alex transformation was spectacular! We've finally got the yandere-esque warrior lol. My question before going to the final episode is...why haven't they tried using Padparadscha's hair?

That’s a dog?!
With the Buddhist fit, of course Sensei has some kind of connection to the Lunarians. Now, whether he’s a Lunarian or not, that’s the real question.
Seems like we won’t be getting our answer this season, though.
