| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah so Masaki does have his regrets now. Too bad Orihata rejects him and his help. Still, I gotta give Masaki some credit. No matter what happens, he still came to lending a helping hand in this 6th part of the Vs Imaginator arc. |
 |
| Nice ending song. Overall a pretty good arc. |
| damn, the society brainwashing themes are strong in this episode up until these last two episodes it was unclear if what Jin is doing is for the good, but with this episode jigsaw falls into place, showing his true nature of granting people "happiness" was through brainwashing btw, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg was a nice reference to the whole brainwashing theme as well. probably one of the most popular German operas to premiere during Unification of Germany and Nazi propaganda and so concludes the Boogiepop vs Imaginator arc. we're off to the next one |

Boogiepop already whistled a bit of it upon meeting Spooky Electric in Episode 5, and normally would have also whistled that in episode 3 upon appearing in front of Manticore (but the anime cut that out). |
| Boogiepop too op pls nerf |

As well as if the Towa Organization will return? Other than that, I'm very happy that Orihata survived and that she's able to be with Masaki and happily do so now too. Boogiepop is truly OP tho lol Looking forward to the 4 episodes we're getting next though |

As well as if the Towa Organization will return? not being a LN reader myself, but from what i understood is that the Imaginator, the girl Suiko Minahoshi was an esper and she's already dead, but appears as some sort of ghost or spectral being. Boogiepop basically expelled her while confronting Jin and Towa Organization.. idk, honestly. they research ways of mankind's evolution to control them, or rule, hence the name Towa = "rulers of Japan". but why Boogiepop says it's not his enemy confuses me as well so yeah, maybe LN readers would enlighten us x) |

| About time really, some cool Boogiepop action this episode! And thus ends the Imaginator v Boogiepop arc. It’s been a fairly long arc with a lot of things happening here and there and, in this episode, they finally converged together. Honestly though, I’d have to prefer the first arc over this because of the little rearranging game in the first two episodes, in particular. Masaki’s confession to Orihata was a big relief for some reason, lol, but good thing Boogiepop saved the day! I was expecting a few grave casualties but Boogiepop is just too overpowered to let Imaginator and Jin to pull off such acts. Pretty darn cool fight scenes too! Suema just about misses the resolution of yet another event but I suppose it’s for the better. Masaki x Orihata brief scene at the end there with the lap pillow was very nice to see! Add Nagi to the mix and it’s even better, lol! I wonder how Jin will take all this and hopefully things won’t get too messy between Kinugawa and him. Looking forward to seeing what the next four episodes, due tomorrow, have in store for us! |

| well that's just my opinion..... |
| Good conclusion to this Imaginator arc, seems like Orihata and Masaki got a happy ending, I like that :) there was some nice quotes on this episode like "People brainwash themselves fulfilling requirements in order to adapt to society" I wonder what's to come next. Also, any info for the next episodes? Anilist says that a new episode is about to come in 2 days... |

| That was amazing! By far the best episode so far! I've been looking at Boogiepop all wrong though; i kept thinking 'why are they letting all these people suffer?' but Boogiepop isn't a hero and they're completely impartial until the pieces come together and they carry out their job... took me too long to get that haha |
 |
| Nice to see Boogiepop in this episode. |

| Ok so Orihata is ok, but who is that girl floating in the air whom Masaki is talking to when he down on the ground????? And Suema should have recognize Boogiepop by her voice so why was she asking as to whom she was talking to????? |

Boogiepop is truly OP tho lol Looking forward to the 4 episodes we're getting next though i recently just finished reading all of the english light novels, towa organization is pretty much the main overarching villain of the show and they're talked about in the next arc. fourth book is fucking awful so beware of that next arc ya'll lol |
| Well that's another way to define "brainwashed." Conform to society! "Music is highly effective in stirring people's emotions." It's one of the reasons why you always hear the radio playing in a store...It has a trance-like effect... "The Towa Organization is not my enemy." Boogiepop is basically saying that you're fine as long as you don't screw up. Boogiepop confronts Imaginator and ends his rather futile plan. And everyone lives except Imaginator who disappears. A nice conclusion to this arc. The ending theme stirred my emotions too hehe. |
 |
| Boogiepop is too OP, please nerf! lol So Asukai's crooked dream was as futile and ephemeral as snow falling in April, unable to amount to anything and condemned to melt away. This is actually a good thing considering what he was trying to do, but I feel bad for him. He felt too miserable and small. Masaki is really strong though! His earnest effort impressed even the disappearing Imaginator. Poor Suema too, for a second time something big happened while she was on the sidelines. But well, maybe in the next arc she is going to be part of it more directly. She already was part of this, even if she doesn't realize it though. And I guess that Masaki and Orihata got themselves a happy end and that's nice, but poor Anou. :( |

Lululand said: Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why its score’s so low? I’m really enjoying this anime. Pretty common with interesting and atmospheric series (genre doesn't matter). Take a look at Sakurada Reset score. It was even lower when it aired. That's why any rating besides your own one doesn't matter at all. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I missed Boogiepop. He is so mysterious and interesting. Still don't like Masaki. His relationship with Orihata is kind of boring. Nagi did almost nothing. Hope she gets more attention next time. I am glad Boogiepop explained about Jin only creating temporary changes. It hadn't been making sense to me when I thought about it psychologically. Hope we get to see Anou again just to know how he ended up. Orihata wasn't human? I think they did mention it in a previous episode, but I am not sure. I should probably rewatch yet again. Are we getting a new ending theme or is it just for this episode? I like this new one much more. |
| Interesting finale of this arc. So Jin's plan was going to fail regardless of whether boogiepop did anything. I wondering why boogiepop showed up now of all times. The only thing I can think of is because Suema had hinted at that there would be stuff going on at this park, so boogiepop shows up to exorcise the imaginator or whatever. Now I'm trying to think if there was any other time that boogiepop would have known Jin was the imaginator and could have easily found him. Idk probably won't know unless I read the novel someday and get a better explanation. |
| Not 100% on all the details of what happened but was entertained nonetheless :) |
| Boogiepop for Smash. |

| that was a good conclusion for this arc, i'm glad masaki and orihata can now get what they can of a "normal" life after that |

The negative effects of my long life as a shut-in are kicking in now? |
| Still cnt figure bout the orihata picture... Anyone got any idea whats the pic? I only saw some dark red color as like she is bleeding or something? |

I was wondering why you think the fourth book was awful? I really liked that one. For your answer use spoiler tags. |

VanishingKira said: Probably in the minority here but I liked the first arc better. i generally liked the first novel better than the second and third because of the horror aspect, so i agree with you on that, but madhouse did a shitty job adapting the first book which is why all of it is a confusing mess |
I remember Kirima Nagi saying, “Your friends are alive and well.” At the end of the book, and something else that would allude to this being true. |
| i’m friending you because i need more boogiepop friends |
Chaos_Alfa said: Dorkave said: I remember Kirima Nagi saying, “Your friends are alive and well.” At the end of the book, and something else that would allude to this being true. mayhaps. overall, i still thought it was a shitty novel and i was glad that king of distortion was a great improvement although it had its share of flaws too. boogiepop at dawn is my all time favorite novel so far , so i hope to god they adapt it well considering the fact they haven’t adapted the first arc well either |

The latter is too focused on Nagi and doesn't have enough Boogiepop. King of Distortion brings back characters from the first novel and gives them some much needed closure. It also has a lot of Boogiepop. That's always a plus in my book. that’s true, but at dawn has a really great setting and atmosphere and also does answer a lot of our biggest questions about the series. i do enjoy distortion a lot for the character development and the theme, but because i look at boogiepop for its more horrific aspects, i found the overall prose and horror factor larger in the sixth book. they both are edging in quality , almost a near tie |
