Oh boy, the panties jokes...

Kinda felt this episode had more humor than some of the others. Also, Mio is back around again. She's been acting more like the type of tsundere this time around. I'm actually she's back though. Oh and the time travel mechanic is still a revolving theme in the show. The talk about the universe is kinda interesting.

Alright guys, THE MYSTERY SHIP HAS LEFT THE PORT! Absolutely loved the atmosphere this episode. Represented the mysterious summer evening vibe from the visual novel to a T! Even kinda felt like Higurashi in a way.

I spent a ton of time theorizing on this stuff as I was reading the visual novel, so I'd be interested in hearing your opinions.

What do you think of the tapestry? Does anything stick out to you? What do you think it means? What's so different about Ryuuzouji? What the fuck is Niarb!

Give me your theories!

Not a bad episode.

Looks like that teacher is still after the artifact Takuya has. The tapestry looked interesting though.

A very exposition heavy episode. Obviously this is meant to set up the plot for episodes to come.

The tapestry is obviously very important. Mitsuki's migraines are important (possibly being hypnotized by Ryuzoji, possibly jumping worlds?) Ryuzoji's mom says he is different (perhaps from another world line?). Ryuzoji has some sort of hypnotic power.

I've been seeing the female professor with long hair and glasses in the opening, and assumed she was Takuya's mother. I certainly was not expecting a fair skinned, blond haired woman to be his mother. She certainly looks like Yu-No from the back, but if she were Yu-No, I think Ryuzoji would have described her pointed ears before her blond hair and fair skin.

maybe she is from the same race as Yu-No. Perhaps that race is what created the time-travel/dimensional travel devices. Maybe they are like Atlanteans or something, and that tapestry showed them destroying their own society with the time-travel/dimension travel technology.

Nice infodump and Niarb introduction. Kinda felt this episode was over before it really started.

One minor difference compared to the game though: he seemed to remember the past timeline in the anime - while in the game he only remembered it as a dream, ie. some hazy memories at best. Or I may be wrong and he just forgot most of it after his headache and good night sleep. There was one retrospective with Asakura but they might just pretend it happened and skip through the same parts to the meat of the story.

Either way, all the connections starts slowly showing its shapes and the mystery is strong this time.

As I said before it even started airing, they should've started from this route, because it's perfect introduction to the world of this story and characters. It's also better introduction to already done Ayumi route.
Anyway, that was really well made and I felt the atmosphere from VN. Nice color pallette play.
Btw, original voice of Ryuuzouji's mother was way better
Dub = fake crap. Always.

I'm interested to see where this arc will go. As far as set up episodes go this wasn't the worst, it could have been much better though. I just want Arima to react, emote more. His VN protagonist roots are showing in how blank slate his personality is. It's a real shame because this show could be an entertaining mystery if he was a more engaging perspective to see the cryptic story from.

Looks like they're starting my favorite route of the game.


I'm really enjoying the added chemistry of Kanna with the rest of her classmates and not just Takuya.

In regards to Takuya remembering the previous route, I always assumed he did remember the previous ones due to a few parts in the game, and that it woulda just been too hard to code in extra "if statements" to decide what order the player is doing the routes in, thus making it seem like he forgot. Since the routes are all one continuous story just done in whatever order the player wants.

But even if that wasn't the intent of the original game creators, it still works good in this adaptation, as it doesn't disjoint the flow of the story, again due to the routes being all one big canon story as opposed to other games where the routes are generally all separate stories from each other.
Signature:
I prefer comedies, horror, hentai, and combinations of such. Anime with a lack of fan service is a disservice.

So where back to the part where Takuya has some business with Ryuzoji, so when the assistant and the old guy's mom said that he's different, would that mean that Ryuzoji is from the different world ???

This anime has a story that encompasses a great mystery. I love that. My curiosity with this episode reached its highest level.
1. "Restart? Ah, Ok" ... that's what I thought of Takuya, the man does not flinch from starting all over again xD. It's true, there are many different events as Takuya's father said, but what does immortality have to do with all this? I look forward to the answer.
2. Professor Ryuzoji. I have two hypotheses about his strange behavior: First, he comes from another world. Second, it has been possessed by an entity from another world.
From what Kana said and Professor Ryuzoji's mother, it's very likely. Besides, the old man has some strange power.
3. Who was the second victim of the curse? By the way, the elf girl who kissed Takuya in the first episode, so far, there is no hint of her. It's very strange.
4.The tapestry of more than 400 years is a marvel. I was amazed. I'm curious to know what message it hides. And about the 400 years I am somewhat intrigued and confused.
5. "So, before the Big Bang, what existed around that little nucleus?" My head is about to explode with just that question šŸ˜….
6. At last they spoke about Takuya's mother, "Keitia".

What decision will Takuya make now? I look forward to the next episode.

"Swallows and sparrows do not know the thoughts of geese and swans" .... I'll think about it xD.

decent episode glad they didn't take the route of reusing almost every scene and instead went down a new path of events

whole episode was waiting for Ryuzoji "so hows the time traveling going kid" didn't whole back in revealing himself this time around.



also MC is still trash

So, we arrived in the supernatural / mysterious themes. I did not expect Ryuzoji to have some kind of power, that was interesting.

I'm really glad this anime will feature 26 episodes, that should not make things being rushed (hopefully) 'cause right, this is getting more intriguing episode after episode.

The old man is after the artifact Takuya has and they explained some things. I'm starting to care about this anime.
