| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eh the transition for this episode felt weird. I didn't mind the way it was done as it focused more on the main plot and conflict involving Arthur, Loki, etc. Speaking of which, Loki's alliance with the Geniuses of Divine seemed like a clever move on his side. Loki is still such a trick pony in this series, never knowing what he'll do next. I think this episode builds up somewhat well for the next episode though. And somehow, music improved.  |

| Watching the first half of this episode made me feel like I missed another episode all together but alas like with last week, shit is getting realer Either way it was pretty interesting to see this Santa guy in action as well as to see all of those reveals about Akane's dad, Loki and Oz etc. Ginji needs to get the shit beaten out of him for being so stupid though |
Tokoya said: Watching the first half of this episode made me feel like I missed another episode all together but alas like with last week, shit is getting realer As I said before half the time this show is an incomprehensible mess. Stuff happens just cause. If you want explanations or a well flowing narrative the show says too bad. Well Santa not being the actual Santa was a letdown, ditto purple girl turning traitor, she was cute. :( Only good stuff was Akane's dad being alive and Elena/Dorothy seeing that image of Midori. Seeing them reunite's pretty much all I care about in this. |

| So I guess that pigtailed girl was Midori's friend. *Sigh* this show is so dumb. |
It is, but that was revealed way back during her intro episode. I even pointed it out in that episode's thread at the time. |
| Oooh it was ... unexpected ... A new character ! It's Shakespeare ! wwwwwww And again, flashbacks |
| Imagine going to the library and finding a book with all of the pages rearranged at random. This is probably it lol |
| I didn't really understand why Ginji and co. decided to side with Loki over Santa. Did they not believe that Loki was evil and caused most of the horrible things they've witnessed? |
| Give me a fucking break... i am done with this trash show! |
| wow the suspense,the mystery and the feels this anime has it all 10/10 ep |

| So, I basically gave up on trying to comprehend everything. So I'm giving up on properly discussing the anime too. Therefore, I will now say irrelevant, yet relevant, stuff. Santa doesn't give any presents children. Why, Santa? Why? Loki, carnival is over already, you're late, take off mask pls /5 |
 |
| i don't even follow what's going on anymore |
 |
| Better than last week's episode. lol |
| i was worried about the direction the show was going in after last episode but after this episode it seems that fear is gone. I liked the reveals in this episode and the plot is really making a lot more sense |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
| Liked the OST this episode. Still feeling a little lost in the story, but it was good seeing Loki establish himself as the mastermind a bit more with his actions. |
 |
| Every time I watch this anime, I feel so lost. 2/5 |
 |
| It's okay but still I'm confused as hell |
| OMG GINJI GRRRRRRRRR |
| Meh, We have a Shakespeare now apparently and even a World Council u.u Ginji and co made a stupid decision, Don't even know he came to the conclusion that Santa was a bad guy even after he saved them. Arthur's fallen into depravity and the pasts of the main trio are all either linked or have some secret in them. Didn't really care for anything else, Actually I don't even care for what I mentioned. Feel like I watch this show each week just to bash on it xD |
 |
| Err, guess it was a little bit better than last episode? Maybe just an ok episode? |
  |
| The transition was good and all. let see where they turn to next. I think that was disturbing… The red hatred father is alive… Elana , who was missing is serving gods and still nothing makes sense |
 |
| Ginji is a complete moron. I mean, he distrust of Santa, who saves his life and rescue him, and trusts instead in Loki, who looks clearly evil. Great move (sarcasm). Santa is cool. Btw, they turned Shakespeare into a fucking loli... I don't know if laugh or cry. |
 |
| Ginji is an idiot, I feel bad for poor Santa who goes through so much trouble but didn't get a thanks in the end <.< |
 |
| They really made a mess of it. This episode was [relatively] good as compared to the last one. Somewhat enjoyable. A good build up episode too. Don't like how they are trying to make Arthur a good guy. Even after being warned he went and took the sword and killed his comrade. Some king he is~ So Loki is the final villan. :? They said it themselves: |
 |
| Ginji trusted Loki but not Santa... |
 |
| Well...that was a lot better than the last episode... Santa kind of saves this serie right now,but it's still very bad. |
 |
| They're going back to the Gate lmao Another day, another boring ass episode lol |
| Ginji is a massive prick! |
| Really confused. |
| If you're going through hell, just keep on going. |
| Santa is awsome, not what you thought he would be |

| aww guess the team split between "Gate" and "Council" damn that loli Shakespeare though. OP power that seems to make people follow w/e is written |
 |
| What's with this character lineup. Shakespeare now? Lol |
 |
| Confusion everywhere. Ginji seems to have betrayed the main trio, but why? |
| Bishounen Santa appeared. YAY! No reindeers tough? :( Just joking... I'm still kinda lost, but I will continue watching 'cause I really want to know the ending of this mess lol Gimme more Dorothy and Oz! Gimme an Alice in Wonderland inspired character D: I liked loli Shakespeare, so cute. |
 |
| God this show is so retarded. it like the Writers of divine Gate and Bubuki are trying to out-retard each other |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| I put of watching this episode for 3 days. I think that says something. But this was actually a pretty good episode. I enjoyed it more than any other episode so far and it seems like the plot is moving forward as well also. Though there is a lot of "wtf is going on, this is random," moments still. Like at the end. Maybe it'll improve a bit next ep. The only thing I really like about this is the opening song. |
| ... What the heck is this episode ... *sigh* So Santa came in and saved them, Arthur is under Loki's control and that's the part I'm interested in, him and his "Geniuses" and that girl Shakespeare ... but blah, we get Ginti telling Loki and the Council where everyone is hiding out. I like Loki, but I don't really get what's going on ... especially at the end with them escaping. I guess Santa's pretty strong huh? Well anyway, Shakespeare's doing SOMETHING by writing that play, so I guess we just have to wait and see where it goes ... |

Axelucard said: I must agree with you folks.i don't even follow what's going on anymore This anime is a mess. There is so much going on but nothing is ever explained, elaborated or expanded. Things just happen, all over the place. People appear and disappear. Many things are left unresolved, unvisited, unexplored, unexplained or forgotten. Probably due to the 12 ep. time limit. I don't even care about any characters frankly because of: 1, the way the narrative gives us no time, space or reason to develop any interest in them and 2, them being boring anyway. What's with the weird narrator randomly dropping strange comments every now and then? An attempt at making this show "deep" and "philosophical"? Cuz its not working on me. The world, characters and story feels like somebody tryed to compress a one million page epos in to a dozen page booklet. Initially this show looked like it might be interesting but gradually it became a total mess. There was a lot of opportunity, the world, the characters, the weird ass magic it has potential but alas they failed to capitalize on it. It all feels so damn rushed. Perhaps as manga or light novel, having more space to develop, the story would have done better. I will keep watching to the end out of curiosity just how much of a mess this will become. Expecting a contrived asspull ending. |

| Eh, this anime is such a waste, really! I've kind of held off on watching the next episode because of how sucky episode 7 was. I decided that instead of watching it one episode at a time as I have been doing I'll just finish it all when it's completed. That is, if the reviews aren't too harsh. I was actually really enjoying this anime up until episode 7 when it finally hit me. This anime is obviously going to be about 12 episodes, and they haven't explained anything sufficiently. Like, where did the Gate come from? Why are only certain people given the power? What the heck is The Zone, and how does it work? Why is it so hard to get to the Gate when Arthur and co. freaking WALKED there? How are the worlds connected? Are the relationships between worlds cordial, friendly, or hostile? Do the people in the different worlds also seek the Gate? Who are their mentors (you know Undine and the other two...who I forgot their names) and what do they have to do with everything? What are those human/animal people who appeared in episode 6, and what do they have to do with ANYTHING? Also, why Aoto and his brother share the same name, and why is his brother so crazy? Just to name a few questions that will probably NEVER be answered at this point...or they may surprise me. Who knows. |
| Don't forget that cyborg girl that Aoto got "friends" with. We never heard about her again after they took their souvenir photo. Maybe it was really just that. But I think even with this photo, he will still forget her and probably already did. |
| What a clever villain Loki is! 2/5. |
 |
| what the fuck is wrong with this show. Why is everybody saying thing and then a few minutes does exactly the opposite. yea I'm talking about the guy who said he won't betray them and the next day led Loki to their hideout. I could accept it one or two times but at this point it feels like it doesn't matter what people say. They won't keep it anyway. |
