Eh, I'm not sure I like that Souta kid.

Good to know the series is back on track with the tasks again though. I like how Michiru and the others are trying to help the kid despite him being a bit of rude. And lol, Michiru and her rage:


Just found her chemistry with Tsukasa to be very amusing in this. The Birthday party they were preparing also looked delicious~

A really good episode, makes me want to give my family a hug, especially the one that I come to hate at times.

It began to rain when the birthday party started :o Souta once accepting his family's love was great.

Didn't really expect Michiru to be an android child! Everyone has their history, which makes things interesting.

Knew the mentioning of the black market was leading up to no good, seeing the guy coming to get Marcia, Souta looked quite brave at the end, though.

Damn, as soon as those Black Market guys were mentioned I figured something like this was coming. I'm guessing they're gonna try and retrieve Marcia next week though, I doubt they'd end that story thread there.

Another emotionally crushing episode like the first. Still...leaving/allowing a Giftia to raise a 5 year old child like Souta seems wrong to me. I mean at best they'da only been together until he was 13...it just seems so cruel.

Interesting info on an expired Giftia's "Wanderer" state this week....hope that isn't Isla's fate down the road.

Retrieval episodes are the best so far, great. Black market was mentioned and this guy at the end seems to be one of them...

I love how Zack always tries to incite things, especially when he was suggesting Isla and Tsukasa has gotten a bit too closer. "Maybe Tsukasa is getting all tochy-feely with her every night?" XD

Souta's rude behavior was understandable to an extent, but I still think he was acting like a little bitch. Nice seeing them enjoying his birthday and reminiscing about his family. The cake eating part reminded me of last week's episode of Re-Kan.

Michiru continues to be tsundere for Tsukasa. It's cute at times, but can be a bit annoying too. She'll most likely end up with him though, unfortunately.

Meanwhile, chief Yamanobe got scolded for his high labor cost. Terminal One will soon be facing some consequences.

Didn't take long for the Black Market retrievers to come into play, and they just had to come at Marcia. Damnit! >.<

Decent episode. New issues will be a pain to deal with. At least, there mightn't be much melodrama for a while.

This retrieval stuff is something that I can never do....Man these episodes always makes me feel so freaking sad TwT

Even though the episode was sweet and teh character interactions were great, hearing about the kid's parents dying when he must have been like 5 or 6 years old made me sad....And his older sister has been with him from since he was born too and for him to have to lose her crushed me inside a little

And to make matters worse those black market guys just had to come right here and now to do this to poor Souta....Man this is not looking good but I'm interested in these new antagonists

I guess normally I would just think what a mediocre series it is and quickly forget about it, but after a pretty solid first episode it's amazing what a piece of crap it turned out to be. There's just too much bullshit about the world to swallow, two main characters are complete failures (not the silly funny type though, more like "put them down before they hurt someone") and everything is so in your face it's almost insulting. I wonder what people behind this title are thinking. Probably something like "we have a somehow original and interesting idea for a series, let's try to jam as many horrible and overused cliches as it's possible in it and make it run on cheap drama". Treating your viewer like a complete cretins must be an awesome job.

This series sure knows how to pack on the feels when it really wants to. Not really sure I liked that kid too much, but his reaction is understandable given his situation. Also, it seems a bit wrong that they'd leave such a young kid with a Giftia, especially when it's one with only a couple of years left. Surely that kid had some other family that could have taken him in? Well, not that it matters too much, since it let us get another excellent episode. That tidbit about Giftias turning into Wanderers after they expire was pretty surprising, but it's definitely good to know.

And I'm assuming that guy at the end was one of those black market people? I wonder how else they're going to influence things from here onwards.

Yay plastic memories returning to its SOL roots. Really like the added dimension of black market retrievers, wanderers, giftia guardians, and giftia business management. It also never fails to pull at your heart strings too. The world building is excellent.

Well that was a cliffhanger for ur ass. Hope nothing bad happens to Souta and Marcia. That guy reeks Shady Fraud D:

Overall this ep was really nice and sweet :3 Loving Michiru more and more. Her tsundere-ness is perfect <3 Loved the scene when she realized she was holding Tsukasa's hand and got flustered <3


It was nice getting to know more about her. So her parent was a giftia and she refused returning him until he became a wanderer? That sux. I actually wish we'll get an ep with flashbacks to what happened. That would be awesome

Dat Isla smile though XD (The one in front of the mirror was actually pretty good...with a tinge of sadness :(...
U can totally tell from many of the scenes in this ep that she's having a struggle whenever "End of life span and loneliness is mentioned"

Gotta love Zack though XD His troll smile when he told Michiru about Tsukaka reading a newly wed manual was funny XD

So I'm guessing they'll be having troubles since they're boss keeps getting scolded?

Man I love that ED <3 Isla's smiles are adorable >.<


Quite a lot of nice fanservice too :P Michiru's got one HOT BODY *A*

Marica's ass was nice too :P And ofc Isla's fanservice

The thing i wonder about is who will take care of Souta ones Marcia is gone?
It's clear he isn't old enough yet to take care of himself yet.

Any case i expected the black market service to show up at one point in this episode but didn't expect them to show up at the end.
Hope they manage to stop him.

This was a good retrieval episode. I learned that some kids were raised by Giftia after their parents passed away. So even Michiru was one of them. I like how she's looking out for Tsukasa but never one to admit. x3 And Isla's forced smile, OMG! xD That was soooooo adorable! <3

Since the Black Market guys have been mentioned, it appears that the old fart at the end is one of them... He looks really suspicious, and I hope Souta & Marcia think twice before believing him. The old fart must have made a fake ID too..

I'd feel more attached to the emotional aspects of the story if the kid wasn't so much of a brat all the time.

Nonetheless I enjoyed the episode. The meeting, as well as the introduction to a black market and the Wanderers really expanded the setting. That's the kind of stuff I've been hoping to see, in addition to the feels, of course aha

I believe that was one of the black market retrievers. I am gonna be pissed if that guy gets Marcia, and does something with her. I hope they catch him REALLY FAST and throw him in jail.

This. And when it is there it just feels insulting to the viewer a lot of the times, because the narrative makes it so in your face like Anataru said, or because it makes Tsukasa look like a complete moron. Again this episode not knowing things about his job he should probably have long known about with the Wanderers.

The thick white lines in the hair were out of control and made everyone look like cardboard cutouts.

Isla making faces, Mizugaki being clumsy, slapstick physical humor, overreacting, handling relationships like a 12-year-old... who is this show made for, 8-year-olds? This show gets worse with every episode.
