Is this basically a repeat of Mirai-san and the previous Serval? Serval could have her memory erased after that and won't remember Kaban. Kaban to be revived by Sandstar and you know the deal. I'm gonna say i would have to rewatch the episode again to fully grasp the details of the first 15 minutes. There was so much packed in. Just stating that this could be an infinite loop.

Fuck, dude. This show is seriously well written.

What a cliffhanger. Kaban just sacrificed herself. I wonder if Serval is going to remember anything after she wakes up.

It is still cute, but not fun and games any more.
Will they manage to drown the Cerulean and release Kaban-chan in time?
Will she respawn near her hat when taken too far away from it?

At least now we know why Serval doesn't remember Mirai.

Only a vague theory on my mind, it's surely nothing that is 100 percent certain. A possibility though just after seeing the events here.

So the ''four gods'' are used to seal the sandstar from up above so the particles from Sandstar Low can't get absorbed by that cerulean. After rewatching, i'm still not sure though how this cerulean specifically was born (it was stated that this one is different from any other and that it has special abilities).

Lucky-san recognized Kaban-chan as Mirai once she had the second feather on the hat. Lucky-san also had rainbow eyes near the end.

Kaban-chan also developed animal like powers at the end for some reason.

It was not explicitly stated why that Cerulean leaked out of the barrier, i would imagine though that it was gathering energy already from within (Sandstar Low) and then just forced the barrier open.

She was probably very stressed, that's why she was meowing like that. Or maybe we're missing something.

I don't remember feeling this tension in a very long while. Especially when I didn't expect any sort of cliffhanger. I hope the anime doesn't turn dark so I can enjoy binge watching it several times more

Let's not rush things up. There are many friends and they'll come to her help. Also Boss's eyes were glowing for some reason. Don't loose hope!

That sound though. That cerulean clearly can harden itself. And it didn't sound healthy.

The events of this episode are ESPECIALLY ironic considering Serval and Kaban's scared catchphrase through the show. "please don't eat me". A funny catchphrase? Or a subconscious remnant of when this happened to Mirai and Serval?

Smudy said:

If Kaban is rebuilt-Mirai then she is technically a Friend which means she is not exactly "normal" human.


As for finale. Serval's VA:

hooboy,

She is basically reiterating what she said before about bursting into tears when reading the finale script.

Action packed episode for ones a shame it ended with a cliffhanger now we have to wait a week to see what happens next.
Fenec and Racoon finally joined the group and they seem to have a good influence as well.

This is what happened in this episode.
Serval Are trapped and drowned, then Kaban has a rope, and then tied to the tree, and is climbed coupled to the tree and jump to a Serval, but this unconscious.

I can see at the end of the episode. But... There is a Couple Problems.

Poor Kaban :(

This is Madoka airing all over again. I'm really curious how they're planning on following this up. There are many possibilities, and I hope they actually pull a good twist and not something random. "Time loop" with memory loss sounds like the most reasonable thing at the moment, but we'll see. Probably the only show where I'm so hyped for the finale this season.

Whoa, Serval-chan isn't enough for that gigantic Cerulean.
I wonder if there will be no more "Please don't eat me" word for the next episode.

Kaban chan was starting to falter and remembered all the times Serval did something brave and daring and summoned her strength with a MEOW MEOW MEOW.

This finale is going to make me cry for sure even though it will probably end well (if not bitter sweet). I feel sorry for anyone that dropped this because it has low budget CGI

Kaban and Serval memories were erased, thñat's why we don't see all the other friends silhouettes at the end.

Even if they don't die, with their memory erased they won't ever be the same as before.

If Serval forgets Bag-chan, I'm going to have to punch some penguins.

Man, there's so few story-driven shows this season that this is my most anticipated finale after ACCA.
