| Really a great episode, Willem has an encounter with acquaintances of the past, but his concern now is only the girls that he takes care of, and thus he is discovering more and more on the fairies, how much more I see about them, more sentimental I am, but the High point of the episode is really the recovery of Chtholly, I was apprehensive to see her in that state, well, one thing I'm sure now, I'll start reading the LN immediately once the anime is over .. |
  |
| This is getting pretty fucked up. Fairies made en-mass using the ghosts of dead kids. Souwong is almost proud of it, gives no fucks that they go to die. Willem even called him out on his reasoning too? Why does the surface matter? Nobody in the islands cares about going down there, and neither of them have any actual reason to either; no one is waiting. Super curious about the origins of the beasts though. They weren't actually made by the cult, and Souwong knows the truth, which whatever it is, is so bad that he knows it'll make Willem hate him. Have a feeling shit is going to get hella sad too. Emotional enough just from Ctholly waking up...but then Ithea had to go and say that it was a miracle, and whatever Ctholly did to make it happen, she probably did so without thinking of the consequences. Implying that saving her mind from encroachment is somehow going to end up being detrimental. You'd think that 500 years in the future, there would be some magic or some Magus with the power to restore Willem's body from all of the internal damage. At full health he's probably strong as fuck despite what he says. |
| Alright, more revelations and back stories thrown in this episode and it was even better than I expected. The meeting with Souwong and Skull head (as well as the flashback to 500 years ago) was pretty cool. The reveal at the end that Souwong hadn't told Williem the whole true raised so many question marks. Why did he not tell him? Why would Skull head decide to help him preserve the life in the floating islands anyway (if he was one of those Beasts), and what exactly is this secret that he withheld? I'm so curious to find out just who or what exactly created those 17 beasts, and for what purpose. Ctholly's trance was yet another moment that raised a ton of questions. I can assume that Redhaired girl was the original spirit that was used to create Ctholly, but what exactly happened at the end there when she decided to come back from her coma-like state? What did she lose in saying goodbye to her original spirit self? And just how come the spirits used to create Ctholly and her "sisters" are all from young children? Do children's spirits last longer than older ones? And how did these spirits last over 500 years anyway? The ending was emotional and beautiful for stripping away everything and giving us the raw feelings of bothe Williem and Ctholly, but in the end the only thing on my mind are all the questions raised because of the revelations and the events that transpired during this episode. Oh, and who exactly was the red haired girl from 500 years ago, or the one they mentioned (who was outside fighting or something). So many questions, I'm trying really hard not to spoil myself right now. |

| I just wish Willem and Chtholly would just make out already! I really love them >//< |
on 
| yep, and that's how love cures all xD |
| Welp ready for vol 3. Feels incoming.... |
| The second best episode since the first episode direction wise Will read the LN to get a more detailed explanation on what's happening since the anime doesn't seem to explore the details much Things is getting more interesting for sure |
| well that was something so the girls are wondering spirits or something |
 |
| Suwong, you are now one of my fav characters xD an old man acting so childish |
 |
| The good thing : I didn't expected the meeting between Willem, this old Souwong and his former enemy to turn into comedy. I didn't see that coming. The bad thing : the realization at the end of the episode, I saw it was supposed to be emotional, but the almost "heartless" reaction of Willem or let's say his lack of reaction, even Nygglatho had to push him, and the whining of Chtolly sounded forced and unnatural to my ears. As a result, I wondered how they could go so wrong here while I loved the emotional moments in the previous episodes. In the end it might be the episode I liked the least since the beginning. The last words of Souwong sounded like he was the one who brought the beasts on earth. We'll hopefully learn later what happened exactly. |
| Although I already have an idea about what might've created/awakened the seventeen beasts, I'm still not 100% sure. With this episode a few questions were answered, I'm curious about what'll happen next cause the Sage and the Skull thing seem to have plans. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| So, half a season covers 2/5 volumes of the LN. It's pretty rushed already, but are they really going to condense the 3 leftover volumes even more? I guess the the first part of vol 5 is pretty chill, but vol 4 is pretty eventful overall, no? |

A 4 episode per volume format (which would end us at vol 3) would have been better cause they did rush some parts like battle flashback and skip some bits of foreshadowing (mostly about elq and ending of vol1), still a decent a adaptation for me though . Maybe do volume 5 in a sequel movie ? |

| I have to agree with great sage. Willem is fool for valuing girls over the fate of the floating islands |

And there's absolutely now way for them to cover all five novels at this point. Maybe up to the end of Vol4 and Fifth as an OVA or something. |

| Such a sad and heavy episode indeed. That bone was kind of funny as well as suowong I thought Souwong was a serious person based on the OP. Knowing more truth about the origin of Kotori and the kids, was so damn cruel and sad. Those creepy surreal visuals in kotori's mind might be from the memory of that red haired girl comrade of Wilhem and Suowong. And there's also a red haired kid in her consciousness. |
 |
| Hey wait....... I was supposed to be saddened at mind-broke Ctholly, but none..... So still thinking about Willhem, is his backstory be gonna explained properly, or just conveniently at appropriate plot? Also is this show gonna skim around death, saved by 'Love' or have what it takes to show tragedy. |
| Another "almost feels" episode... :( Glad that she is alive! Did she forget what happened to her? Or when Willem hugged her she remembered? I hope they explain later what happened in this episode. But i'm happy that she is alive, it's so emotional watching Willem in that state... |

As Ithea mentioned in the end, Kutori wilfully sacrificed some important things to get back. |
|
| I wonder what's up with the beasts. Maybe they were once humans in the past? |
| Souwong is a cool old man, but hearing about how the fairies came to be was pretty disturbing. Ctholly and having dreams that disintegrate the mind...probably due to surviving the attack when she was supposed to die? And Elq is...her past self maybe? The truth about the beasts...If that means what I think that means then...oh my god. I can predict what the truth might be, but if it is actually true, this is going to get really tragic... |

Momosamaa said: So - this anime tears me up, every episode. But I need a bit of help. I'm understanding most of it. But like, can someone just gimme a nutshell of what's going on? What is that skull? The fairies are like kids who died or something and then turned into humanoids? HALP Willem definitely wasn't fighting beasts before he was petrified considering how he questions their existence, where they came from, what caused them to appear. If he witnessed them and fought them, he'd know a bit by now. Ebon is obviously not a beast considering he doesn't lump himself with the beasts when talking about them and refers to them as humanity's sin. He is the one who fought against humanity 500 years ago. If there were also beasts back when willem was alive, willem wouldn't call his battle with ebon kandel "the final battle" when he was talking with his daughter. |

| It's already half of the season?? No ! It's so good ! |
 |
| At least everything worked out for the blue-haired fairy. A moment of solace, considering her grim fate. |
| Quite the eventful episode, got a bit strange too. Luckily there was at least a bittersweet ending. |

Davsocr7 said: Next episode must very good n nice song YES it's f*cking Butter 🍰 Time, finally, I can't wait. |
| In short, they have kept us on the thorns so far, it is understandable that this episode is one of the best seen so far. Sadly sad and comical the narration, but the two contexts, do not squeeze together. I look forward to the next! |
 |
| Damn! This just keeps getting better...and as well as preparing for the tragic worst...TSK! 5/5. EDIT: very good insert song as well on the end part. |
 |

| That ending was really nice. |
 |
| This episode was great, it made me feel a bit emotional. It's really tragic what they're doing with all the fairies. |
 |
| This was a very good one. The imagery and design of the "mind world" was really cool. I guess Souwong and Mr. Skull will be handled as villains. What I like about them, is that I totally understand their motives. I wonder what price Ithea was talking about... |
| Good finally some meaningful plot development as we get more background on how the events of the past connect to the present events and we learn more about the fairies. I thought that was a very touching ending to the episode and I was glad to see Chtholly overcome her struggles with the memories of her past life in order to get back home to Willem |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| So those are the ones creating the fairies! That is sad, they get lost souls of kids, they are mean, and they are the ones that created the monsters for sure... I was so so glad when Chtholly woke up in the end! |
 |
| Thats a pretty fucked up plan tbh. Ressurecting ghosts into fairies and let them battle to death... |
