Dont feel bad. Its a normal reaction towards tsunderes by many. Cant help but hate that stereotype myself, no matter how good the character may be.

Bah, who am I kidding, we all know what that slimy bastard is up to - he wants to put Marcia's tits to good use. The next episode will probably be all about saving those boobs :D

At this point I doubt they will go into any details. This series basically skims over anything remotely interesting about how that world is working and go straight for cheap drama and crappy cliches.

Yet another disappointing episode. We got more information about the world, but those information wrapped in such a mediocre episode was not enough redeeming quality. And I am really curious as to why there's no such thing as age restriction in owning a Giftia.

I have this one theory that the reason why the Terminal Service One have done poorly at cutting costs is they have been so careful and fully considering the Giftia's owners feelings when retrieving their Giftias & that makes the retrieving longer than the upper people wanted it to be, resulting in much bigger costs.
I like anime.

nice to have a precise description of what happens once the giftias go past the expiration date
it was already pretty clear from the description of the anime, but good anyway to have a confirmation

a wanderer sounds creepy

oh wtf, just after they mentioned a black market retriever there was just one showing up
wonder what do they do with expired giftias, if they can use them while expired or if they just disassemble them

Ah, well. At least she gave it her best try. Not all people can smile naturally.

It seems that It's remains 4 for 4 as far as the feels are concerned. And god dammit, get away from them you suspicious gap-toothed fuck!

My guess is that next episode starts the next day when Tsukasa and Isla were supposed to come, only to hear that Souta porbably gave into the pressure and believed him...

And based on some other posts, I seem to be one of few who like Michiru... Not as much as Isla, but I still like her.

The feels were strong in this one.
Seriously, I teared up just thinking about the poor boy who lost his parents three years prior, and had no one left close enough to take him in so that he had to be raised by his Sister-Droid for the past three years. And now that he's arriving upon 8 whole years of age, he's about to lose even her as well..... Fuck.....

So what happens after this? Do they grant him a replacement Giftia until he's of legal age to fend for himself? Or do they now ship him to an orphanage to spend the rest of his youth? Just thinking of his future plight is sad enough...

Then they just had to go and factor in those Black-Market Retrieval Repo-Men. I'm taking the talk about what a Giftia will end up doing after missing her retrieval date is a foreshadowing of what will happen next week. My speculation will be that the Black-Marketeers are going to snatch the Giftia away, but their half-assed job will end up causing the Giftia to go on a rampage, effectively ruining Souta's last memories of her, as well as messing up the Giftia's system and causing a huge ruckus when Tsukasa and Isla do try and take her down. This does not bode well with Department 1, where finances are already tight and reputation is being picked apart.

I can see this next episode as having long-term effects on the rest of the show.

This episode just filled you up with sadness and then made you rage at the last moment, before slapping your face with a cliffhanger. Damn

That Isla forced smile though, reminded me of that 'doll' girl from darker than black

And of course.....that old man at the end......nope. He doesn't look creepy to me! Not CREEPY in the slightest!

I don't know, with the way he looked he is probably more interested in putting Souta's body to use, and getting a Giftia is just an added bonus for him.

I wish the show would do more of these case of the week episodes. The most interesting part of this show is the setting and how this technology has affected the world. The different "tasks" are a great way to show how people are living with these androids. The idea of androids raising orphaned children is really cool!
In general, I wish there were more case of the week shows. I'm getting a bit over saturated with all the serialized TV shows. The best shows know how to balance the weekly story with the overarching plot. Perhaps I only feel this way because I grew up watching the X-Files.

I like the fact that they portray the Giftias as perfect beings with almost no character flaws (except Isla but she's...depressive maybe ?)in contrast to the humans around them.
Also Michiru is not a clone of Asuka anymore !

I know, right ?
Still if they make a deus ex machina/asspull to save the main girl it's gonna be kinda sad too.

Really dumb how their job was to retrieve the Giftia but they refused the signature because they wanted to the boy to part with his Giftia on good terms... so stupid and exists to add melodrama. Now I need to watch ep 3 lol, I accidentally went out of order I think.

This episode ROCKED!!

I had to cry a little when Souta ate the cake.. And the ending made me so frustrated!

It's amazing an anime can do this in just the 4th episode, never experienced such heavy emotions on the fourth episode of any anime.

I rate this episode 10/10, much much better than #3 which I didn't like much at all.

Michiru > Isla any day, I hope Tsukasa and Michiru end up together.

Felt forced, actually the worst episode so far imo.
I hope the main plot is more like previous episodes, if they try to force stuff it'll just fail... hard.

I'm willing to ship Michiru and Tsukasa though.

And now that brings the possibility of Isla becoming a Wanderer.

Well that was pretty easy, not just a change of heart, but a complete/full change of feelings. hopefully something different results from the false retrievers. It's so episodic. .
well, at least it's worth it to see Michiru.

The final episode has left me a little with a bad taste in my mouth, if I can summarize it in a few words: it takes more luck in life whoever you are. I do not know what happens to the androids in the hands of these squatters, only I think it is nice to finish in their clutches. Overall, the narrative is not so bad, not quite touching, but I do not think that was his goal, the real goal was definitely to grow ties interpresonali between the main characters showing us another side of the society in which we the story takes place. Not bad the comic parts, the quality of the drawings is discreet. Nice the ending, but the opening is starting to like it a little

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.


i'm concerned about marcia now that the guy from black market appeared because it's difficult to imagine that the kid will realize that the guy is trying to do something wrong.

That is one delicious looking tart! A little bit of drama in this one even though it still felt lighthearted and some info about Michiru’s past.

Does the existence of a black-market team of retrievers mean that there is a leak/mole inside the official organization? Though I guess they could just follow the team around and make the first move, too.

Souta was a little whiny bitch. Well rebellion little fuckers.

I like how Isla is helping Tsukasa by holding the recipe that was cute. Michiru is taking the tsundere to the next level cute too.

Fuck the black market at the end??? The fuck is Isla and friends are doing???

I had high expectations, unfortunately after watching 4 episodes I'm disappointed. First and foremost: people invented highly advanced technology, which allows to create androids, who can think, feel, cry, eat O_o More! They have synthetic souls! (wtf???) So why there's no possibility to copy data (memories, personality) and transfer this to new body? I don't buy this. The same is with the idea that only Giftia can switch off the other Giftia - it's far-fetched for me. Beginning with main characters and ending with episodic, they are all schematic and annoying. The plot is pretty predictable, there's a lot feeble jokes and cheap sentimentalism. Only the subplot of black market is interesting. And maybe the past of Isla. 4th episode was better then the last one, but generally anime is average :/

Seems the creepy guy at the end is from those illegal black market agency, if it can be even called that. Why else would they mention it at the start of the episode.

While I didn't like the Souta kid, the birthday scene was touching. Seems like the gang will have some explaining to do if the creepy guy takes Marcia.

Them Isla expressions, and her pout as well xD
