Wtf your logic, why were you suprised from an anime that has monsters in it?

I wasn't surprised, I just thought it was funny. I also assumed they were going to find a way to make that work in a different way, so the way it actually ended up working ended up being unexpected.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

the action was really good imo.
and Mai's past was....that's kinda sad.
overall it was an enjoyable show.
Reina in chinese dress....DAMN!
But still, i'm waiting for the actual plot.

Is really no one gonna bring up the fact that last episode they established blood is needed to summon Phantoms, and then this episode there just like: "Naw red paint works fine too."

Seriously what the actual fuck is wrong with whoever wrote this? That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Well, it's a bit of a step up from the last episode but it still felt dumb overall. I'm still trying to give the show a chance in hopes it's ok enough but I'm losing patience.

Yeah, it was a complete asspull. They just talk about copying memories and then it just happens randomly. If this show wasn't so colorful and pretty it wouldn't have any redeeming qualities.

I'm liking Haruhiko as a protagonist, but I feel like he's a protagonist in the wrong genre/show (maybe even the wrong sort of protagonist for an anime). His book smarts and drawing skills are pretty cool abilities for a male lead (and possibly his Rogue-esque ability copying skill, although that reminds me too much of Charlotte's protagonist), but I'm still not too fond of how he's being treated by his team. It's not funny, in my opinion, and just makes the girls out to be pretty nasty.

kinda agree.
he is more fited to art and slice of life anime. for shonen he is a boring character only here to comical purpose.

The action scenes pretty good. Mai and Haruhiko shared memories through a headbutt, lol.

Reina is starting to get jealous because Haruhiko, Mai, and Ruru make up a happy family together. :x Kurumi is just watching them from afar.. D: When is she gonna introduce herself?

That first "action" scene was beyond lame. I'm tempted to think it was supposed to be a joke, but it wasnt... 2v1 on Mai; Mai acts like she's hurt really bad from a single kick; the 2 demons are distracted by a dog with wings long enough for an escape. I guess its just a side effect of them rushing to fit stuff into one episode.

Copying and downloading semantic and procedural memories~> made me think of the NBC show "Chuck"

That episode was so pretty bad. I'm dropping this show.

I liked Phantom World way more when it was doing stupid fan-service like boob limbo.

But even then the show was average with the constant exposition dumps of world mechanics I didn't even care about because at the end of the day it still doesn't make sense.

This show is the definition of trying too hard and failing.

Lets put aside that they can jump onto the bridge's ceiling bars directing 4 metres above them.

What was with that fight in general? That was atrocious. 5 minutes of just running around? Then some plot device power up at the end that faded into a yellow explosion to end it all. Is this a joke?

Don't even get me started on the twisted ankle, we bumped heads and now we can TRANSFER MEMORIES! Oh my lawdd.

No thank you KyoAnus. I'm out. Peace.

For once, I actually enjoyed a Phantom world episode. I was getting tired of the ridiculous fanservice. I mean seeing Mai smile like she did, or seeing Izumi blush are what make KyoAni anime a KyoAni anime. It's the signature that makes them what they are all about.

Aversa said:
I was wondering the entire episode why they picked Ichijou and not Izumi for the memory thing seeing as Izumi was better is martial arts then Ichijou
Mai said that she won't allow a girl to be put in danger.


Neither. Sensei explained that Ichijou has this rare ability to access this bla bla bla server that connects to memories.

I am not going to rationalize how the collision of the heads activated the power because it's a fantasy anime and I fully expect it to remain fantastical.

I'm pleasantly surprised. Seriously, less fanservice, more action, and more animation than the last episode (which felt very static). Still not good, everything is so random, childish, and forced... but yeah, way better than the episode 2.

i found the memory sharing random and kinda lame especially the bumping heads and viola -- connected

reina was adorable this episode; the pouting and the chinese dress looked good on her

I'm still watching this (for now anyways) because its kyoani really (and hoping it gets better)

surprised the fanservice was toned down alot this ep

i rather haruhiko stick to buffing up his summoning ability instead of pulling random memory shares out of nowhere and relying on those

I think the series is going down slowly, comparing with the madness of the first episode this 2 last episodes felt a bit dull and hasn't lived to the expectations, the fight scene felt a bit ankward, the animations was top notch but there was nothing really amazing happening on there so i would say money wasted.

In my opinion the best part of the episode was the last minutes with the youkai sisters, that was a quite heartwarming story.

yeh what a great plot device how he suddenly was able to acquire her memories -_-
I don't quite get what they were going for with this, surely he would have been better off honing his own skills (i.e. that summoning thing) rather than trying to rapidly learn martial arts (via stupid memory transfer), despite the show numerous times stating he hasn't the stamina/physique for it. If it was all done for comedic effect then i feel it kinda failed, if it was done for character development then it failed in that too imo.

Isn't the idea of a parole that they come up with summoning ideas that work best for them.

All he needed was to sacrifice something. Cutting himself all the time would be stupid so he changed it to wiping a red smear on it as the activation ritual.

It still contradicts what he specifically said in the last episode, which was that he needed blood to summon it. If he doesn't actually need blood it's fine, but some kind of explanation would be required at this point for it to make sense.

I really like the light hearted feel to this anime. The art is nice and in this episode I feel that they are exploring different styles and techniques and seeing how people react to them. perhaps I am overthinking it though.

Better than the first 2. Extremely dumb and predictable plot, but at least it was entertaining and I didn't hate the characters this time around. Plot holes were obvious, but if they can keep on this path it's possible they can redeem it. Overall show plot has some potential, now if only they could actually write.

Rated 3 for not being as bad as the first two. o_O Now that I think about it it's still 2 quality at best.

What the hell is this, so like, how did the girls even become phantoms in the first place? Did they die like immediately after Mai picked on them? And how the hell would they even know she’d EVER show up there, unless their dead Yokai ghosts forced them to haunt that specific bridge, and they just hoped for the best.

Do you honestly expect someone to rate this above an 8?

So it seens like we get some exposition by Ichijou every time in the beginning to set up the episode themes with memory this time. Mai is a hypocrite for not training Reina as she has more potential than Ichijou but makes herself fight. Wrong move there.

This anime is a big joke.
It's trying to act smart with tons of references to pop-culture and even people like Kant but well, it failed poorly.
'Just 20 minutes of moe animation, filled with an annoying mascot, too much fan service and bullshit script.
This episode doesn't even try to fit with the anime, it's just some fight with Phantoms girls but there's absolutely no relation with the plot or even the theme of the serie. I mean, keep away the notion of youkai and boom, it's just some shitty school life.
I keep asking myself on why I'm watching this...

OMG. Double Dragon Fist of the North Star Spinning circle bad ass attack!!!!! LOL

I'm enjoying this show. The fact that her name is/sounds like Mayonnaise-sama kills me every time.

Did I also mention I'm a sucker for thighs. And when 2D thighs are drawn to perfection...Hell Yeah!! Especially that limbo scene. Creeper mode off.

This episode was pretty funny. I'm laughing even more at all the comments about how horrible it was. Did you guys not realize that this IS a comedy ANIME. It's not suppose to make sense. Just shut up and enjoy or don't comment at all. Who cares if you are going to drop it.

Finally,

"That's the thought that ran through my mind." Wooooooo. Are we foreshadowing something bad here? It's like she's talking about things that happened in the past and we are eventually going to catch up to the present and how bad things have gotten.

And god dammit. Usagi-tails!!!!!!!

I am voting Mai as the most beautiful character of Winter 2015. Anyways, this was interesting.. The Main character gets a little power-up through Memories (Dang, Awesome Sauce) and the backstory of Mai is a bit interesting too. Anyways, I am watching this anime for the fanservice (This show has very minimal, stop being pathetic guys) and the story (This sh*t is entertaining).. So, F**K off haters!!
