Freaking wierd... Kasumi was apparently willingly eaten by an alien. I have no idea if she survived or not.

I always knew she was fascinated by them, but what the hell?! I suppose it was nice to see the girls get a little bit of normalcy during their summer vacation. But they are still really disturbed by what they've been through. This last episode better answer alot of questions, because I have a ton of them.

I actually really like this anime. I'm wondering if the last episode will be enough to answers some questions, but overall this is really interesting. Even with the summer vacation filler feel, it was needed to let the viewer know the other girls care for Otani.

I started pitying Yuri suddenly for some reason when she was crying in the middle of the night with Kumi and Kasumi sadly listening. Her PTSD's that bad... I'm glad she was happy during the summer festival.

First we had loli, then feet and now the kink of the episode is.. yuri undertones~♥ The Borgs are okay!

The whole episode was fine then the ending came along. Kasumi nya... What. The. Fuck. She got eaten omg. That Golden Knife bastard has the ability to screw with people's minds as a defense mechanism but why did it target her of all people lel

So apparently Yellow Knife is able to read the minds of other organism,exploits their fears and weaknesses and lures them via brainwaves or something along those lines.

despite the fact you will most likely have PTSD from the storeroom incident, were voted in against your will and have voiced your immense displeasure and willfullness to quit

lol no get fucked you cant quit

my anger is intense and my mood ruined

Edit: 23minutes into this episode and I just cant anymore.
gonna bring some dark things into this post but, a child gets raped= they get professional help.
a child gets domestically abused= they get professional help(when the abuse is proven to have happened)
a child gets physically harmed in a major way or gets mentally traumatised = they get fucking professional help

Yuri gets attacked and mentally traumatised = eh, she'll be fine after a month no biggie

like what the actual fuck, i know this is fiction but at some point you have to say "this is some fucking lazy writing". nothing was resolved.

and even the mother, i bet yuri told her off screen but she doesnt care one bit.

the first 2 eps had my attention and i thought we were going to the after effects of the incident and maybe have some meaningful character progression but all we get is "i went to a festival with my friends, ill try harder". no, just absolutely no.

Really? A 4 episode anime and they put a filler episode in there? smh. Okay well they set up the final boss. But that's it? Like it would've been one thing is sending a relaxing summer with her friends helped Yuri's mental state (which I guess it did, at some parts, like during the fireworks), but it's like nothing changed after summer vacation. Also why would you do all that scary stuff to someone who's been repeatedly traumatized for an entire semester??? Also the ending was completely bizzare. Why did Kasumi do that to herself in the end? So many questions and so little answers in this weird anime... :/ at least there's only 1 episode left

Nice to see Yuri's trauma being relieved at least for a bit thanks to her friends.


WTF. Why did you do that Kasumi?

A change of pace compared to the first two episodes. A SOL part to start the episode, pretty much laid back. But then that ending, seems like Kasumi is dead?

surprising lighthearted ep after the darker ep 2, I guess it will follow the 1&2 pattern with the next and last one being more dark? at least the odd ending definitely suggests that too.
glad to see the adorable bolgs back alive!

With the maundering direction the narrative is taking, and the somewhat wooden characterisation, it's difficult to get immersed in what's happening (which is often nothing).

Looks like Kasumi was killed by the huge alien, so maybe that will finally kick this anime into gear.

This was a wholesome episode, leaving aside Ootani's dream...and Ootani's mental breakdown...and Ootani's flashbacks...

Episode 3 takes some time to build up the friendship between Yuri, Kumi, Kasumi, and Miyu. It's sweet to see that they care for each other.

I like it, it's not just a beach/summer festival episode, Yuri needs to rest and specially needs her friends, preferably Kumi (that was the cutest hug <3).
But alas all of it has to end and no sooner they get back, they have to fight more freakish aliens, one seemingly inoffensive ends up eating Kasumi? She always struck me as an airhead.
