this episode was fucking stupid "i can see it!!! i can see what he is doing/would do/whatever!!" repeat till infinity...
yeah, I don't buy that bullshit. also the drama didn't move me at all...
urgh, my enjoyment for this anime just went down a lot


Gotta agree with this. Came to the show with very high expectations because of the 8.70 score but... Eh... It's not that good imo. It looks nice and it's relatively funny, but the story kind of sucks, and the characters are fairly boring. Not bad by any means, but I was expecting it to be awesome

Great episode! Betting your own existence? Nuts i say. I loved how Shiro figured out what was really going on. and now Kurumi and the elf join the party!
I absolutely LOVE intelligent anime like this. My favorite show this season, hell its Top 2 for me already, i love it soo much,MadHouse is the best, too bad it s only 12 episode.

Wow, this anime actually delivered with a really intense episode? Okay, it's about the second one, but it maybe even better than the last one. If only the show was had intensity on this level and less silly moments/fanservice instead I'd actually score it way better.

Wow, Sora is really crazy.....and I like that!! That's a big risk, and I am amazed that he is willing to do that just because he trust Shiro.
This Anime is pretty good, but it's not kicking me that much.....something....there is something I need to see.
Well, that's it for today. Gotta hit the gym, baby!! I shall finish this tomorrow :3

blew my mind for a bit (since i never read LN) but once i figured out what was going on I "got" it, and reading that person's post with the transcript definitely helped fill in some pieces lol. Though it's a bit weird how pieces 3-1 were more important than his own existence, which "shouldn't" make sense since he was betting his own existence..... but I get the overall message that "everything about Shiro" and "His trust in Shiro" defines his existence. It was just hard to grasp, but after realizing the importance of "we are one' it definitely made more sense that those 2 pieces were such an importance in his very existence. great way to portray just how close those 2 really are. - v-

overall this anime for me so far is like a 7/10, but this episode def was the best. I think if the episode could have been as long as they wanted, it'd definitely a 9 or 10/10 easily. being one of the more memorable episodes of anime! Such a shame though for time constraints lol

Amazing episode!

Sora is damn crazy ... but still a badass. That was his best plan up to now. Never expecting he would do that ... NGNL never fail to amaze me! So now Chlammy and Fiel join the team. This is gonna be epic!

From the preview we can see there will be some funny moments between Jibril and Fiel.

absolutely brilliant animation to signify Sora's disappearance. I'm forever amazed at Blanks brilliance as well, they're so smart and in-sync with each other, nothing turns out the way I expect it too and I love all the surprises ^_^

Nice episode, but if you think about it they could play any simple game where the outcome is the same, the whole betting your existence was unnecessary.

Putting your existence on the line that was too crazy. The ending was too funny. Sora and Kurami found a way to connect by games. Shiro remembering that Blank never loses when the scene changed was my favorite part.

For a moment in the beginning of the episode I thought that Sora was just a creation of the genius mind of Shiro.

A double personality disorder kind of thing, and that he never existed at all, like a imaginary friend of that genius but lonely girl.

But it didn't turned out that way, wich is good. =P

The LN was much more intense.. not nearly enough to compare.
But still nice to hear Shiro's voice. :)

So Sora's plan was basically making Kurami trust him by giving her his memories and returning their own memories back. Nice way to gain her trust.

Shiro looked all depressed throughout the episode.

And Shiro wakes up with Sora not to be found anywhere.
Altered memories? Could be, but it's something else.
Awesome how grayscale recolored.
Awesome, Shiro has a mind palace!

Woah, a game to steal each other's existence.
Sora won the game by giving Shiro (1) a way to win, (2) his absolute trust, and (3) everything Shiro is.
Results? Sora and Kurami trust each other and Fi becomes a spy for Imanity.
There's also hugs and crying instead of double kisses, lol.

I thought that was the worst episode so far, I just didnt get it and I always find episodes in any series that involve events like this happening are tedious as the outcome is predictable.

Ok, that episode was pretty good. This series as a whole has disappointed me (it was recommended by a friend, so...) what with the protagonists always winning and the stupid fanservice, but this episode did a pretty good job. The setting was nice and "serious," there wasn't any unnecessary "comedy," the only real fanservice were the panty shot with Shiro (ugh, she's 11, people!) and Shiro grabbing Steph's boobs.

Maybe what made this episode so tolerable was the lack of Sora? Maybe...

Loved how they opened the episode. And loved Sora's mind game. He's sort of a genius! :D
But that ending freaked me out, though! I'd have killed myself if Sora turned out to be a creep'o! ;_;

Not sure how this show is going to wrap up in 12 episodes!

I'll be honest there was a lot going on here that was hard to keep up with at times (for me, I couldn't stay focused). But it all came together in the end :) Still getting Code Geass vibes from Sora...
