| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The time paradox actually makes you think in this episode. Also, it appears the episodes are still not going in chronological order as this is about Watashi meeting her Assistant. |
| Using old time equipment and going back time?! Wow. Creepy dog, bananas, and assistant... they are hint to this arc? Many Watashi were also created. All because of the fairies, who want "them" to make more cookies. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| So much Watashi! Very nice. Interesting how one can time travel by slipping on a banana peel. XD |
| So many Watashis, I want them all. This episode mindfucked me, what's wrong with all those dogs, and what happened to assistant? I don't know, but it was great. Endless eight done right. And since I like Assistant very much, I know I'm going to enjoy next episode. |
 |
| So, this is the true Endless Eight! And so many Watashis... so cute... Also, time paradogs... |
 |
| lol @ fry stare at the beginning |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| Oh my, this is confusing. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| "watashitachi" has never been more true. This episode was damn trippy. Waiting for next week to see what's actually going on. Also, after this series finished airing I will try and rearrange the episodes in something that resembles a chronological order |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| "arigato gozai...masen" - Watashi awesome episode |
 |
| Mindfuck.. |
 |
| First episode where I really had to think about it. Wow, great with all the time paradoxes. Haha, reminded me a bit of Steins;Gate. In most animes, time paradoxes are usually frustrating (do I need to mention Endless Eight? >.< [I did tough through it though XD]), but I think Jinrui wa Sutai Shimashita pulled it off pretty well! :D I'm also pretty sure that the show is going backwards now, with the hair-cutting last episode as well. This. Show. Is. Amazing. <3 |
Cratex said: "arigato gozai...masen" - Watashi Possibly the funniest quote in the entire series so far. xD Anyway, great episode. Like many others, I couldn't help but be reminded of Endless Eight (which I personally liked a lot), but this time paradox has a completely different feel to it. Slowly figuring out what was going on throughout the episode was tons of fun, while Watashi handling her 'tachis so calmly was just priceless. Very curious about next week's ep, especially since Assistant is my favorite character along with Watashi. |

| This show never fails to amuse me. |
| Now that's how you handle a groundhog day-esque time loop. Not surprising to see the tradition of non-chronological episodes continue. I must admit that nonlinear narative works very well in this anime. More cerebral episode and no ubiquitous satire this time, but that is not to say this was any short of great. In fact, it's probably my favourite episode so far. For the most part, it had a rather unsettling feel to it which I loved. Those whimsical, creepy perma-smiling fairies seem pretty powerful and I think we've seen only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to their nature. Ah, I wish this wasn't a one-cour anime.

| Man, why did that dog remind me of Kyubey in a way... Nice to see this anime's version of time paradox/repeating events. Pretty easy to follow IMO and not damn boring. |
 |
| Just gotta say the show needs to give the fairies as much screen time as possible. The combination of creepy/cute/funny is what I love about the show. They also are just little kids with god like powers if you think about it. I mean they trolled Watashi just so they could have more candy XD |
| Well, we got to see a lot of Watashi this episode... literally. Also, the fairies are awesome - they create a time paradox, using bananas of all things, just so they can have more sweets made for them. That is such a convoluted plan for such a shallow and selfish goal - I love it. |
| So many watashi clones! The fairies definitely troll her in style. |
 |
| All the bananas reminded me of Steins;Gate, lol. |
| I wonder... what author of novel or scenario took before writing this. Still I like how coherent it is while being illogical - with chronology going "backward" and that time thing here. Probably series will end with Watashi becoming mediator :) But at least fairies got their sweets so happy end we have! |
| So we're now further back on the timeline, before Watashi met Assistant. This arc certainly seemed promising, and may be the first to satiate my expectations for the show after the initial arc. The diminution of sweets is certainly the most representative of the decline of humanity. What's with bananas and time paradoxes in anime? |
MissileSoupAug 12, 2012 2:54 PM
| The Banana being the time trigger was hilarious. Who would have thought a banana could be used for time travel? And that you have to slip on it to work? Lol. |
MissileSoup said: Possibly the author was thinking of "Time Slip", a term sometimes used to describe something like what Watashi was experiencing.What's with bananas and time paradoxes in anime? |
|
| It's like that game where you keep going back in time to multiplicate yourself and do coordinated actions. But... Assistente-san is a dog? Mindblow. |
 |
| This was a bit unsettling. (the were fairies kicking a head, and her clones omg) I feel like everything is connected, like it's not actually going backwards in time or something involving the timeline.Maybe I'm over thinking. Great episode though, probably tied as my favorite so far with Y's arc. 5/5 |
| I wonder if we'll see a Steins;gate reference with a Banana turning into a greenish goo. Anyways great mind-fucking episode. I knew this anime was special when I saw skinned chickens plotting to take over the world. |
| "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!" |
| A time loop created by the fairies just to get more candy, alright. |
| Endless 8 pls go |
| Probably the best episode along the 1st and manga ones. Very abstract and pure mindfuck. |
 I had a relapse. |

| my mind is so full of WHAT' right now. is it safe to assume that the banana peels teleported right under her foot or something like that? o.O |
 |
| Another non chronological episode after the previous arc where events took place before she had short hair in episode 1. Bananas and space time dimensional phenomena :O |

| Omg so confused, this is when she first meets the assistant, but its the same guy we've seen countless time. |

| @RobUsaB Indeed, I think we might witness the birth of new Melancholy of Watashi Okashi. First narration by main and oh-so-ironical character, then non-chronological episodes order and finally nani-ka okashii time paradox. Also, so much for escapism, just like Haruhi wanted to avoid summer ending. |
| Brilliant episode! One thing still bugs me though, why couldn't watashi identify the others as herself? Does she know what she looks like? Those cute, creepy, troll fairies. Cant get enough of them! |
| *sigh* "It has no flavor" "You wanted flavor?" TROLOLOL |
| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode was very annoying and dragging around instead of giving out its point it extended through ridiculous amounts of copies of Watashi whom is a very beautiful character and through that character gets repeated as though to abuse the males of their views of her on many formats. Truly the creators must THINK WE ARE DUMB! We cannot comprehend a mere 15 minutes of one point only amend to another 10 minutes of ridiculous CRAP repeating itself makes it very ANNOYED to say the least on this episode. I have gotten a 3 point explanation as follows. Human Decline References The first one in the spoiler The second reference would be the chariot in the spoiler A 3rd reference can be seen in the spoiler The abuse of fairies That is the main problem of this episode’s plot. Seems the Fairies have insane amounts of powers that is shown to be abused and moreover not really known what to do with since they seem to put it in fruits of all things. Now sub categories follow. About the beginning, the start was obvious in the spoiler About the first time shift, the first one in the spoiler  Whom along with the spoiler About 2nd Time shift, thing is it makes another time shift in the spoiler 1. Clone of Watashi in the spoiler 2. Watashi gets in shit in the spoiler In doing all this a re-summon in the spoiler About the 3rd Time shift, happens in the spoiler However it turns out much UGLIER than before with Multi Pin-balls of copies of Watashi in the spoiler About the 4th Time Shift, the last yielded out INSANE amounts of Watashis and this time with their eyes in following,  Along with the spoiler All this to get to assistant due to that fruit. WOW! Mass abuse of Time/Space. A major force and certainly Steins Gate can be mentioned to show it’s a powerful force. The assistant A rather easy setup that got dragged a little too much. At first, in the spoiler However by the end in the spoiler BTW Image Stitches and pic dump in the BLOG: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/08/image-stitches-and-pic-dumb-of-jinrui.html Scenery parts. The art style is really nice in this series TBH. |
| I'm trying to think some crazy theories about this episode here... (don't expect to be totally logical) Watashi saw the dog turning into Watashi at the beginning of the episode. What made me think, if isn't this what also really happen when Watashi slips on the banana peel. I mean, she slips on the banana peel, go back in time AND the dog transforms into Watashi. So all that Watashis that Watashi see are in reality the dog transformed into her. In the last loop, she find Assistant and a lot of dogs. Why? A time paradox maybe. Something happened that made the Watashis become dogs again. Like what happened with the watches, maybe Watashi fusing with itself was the fairies trying to fix it(like somebody said) and that could cause another time paradox (why not?). And I bet the fairies are gonna try to fix it the way they always do. Because obviously the dogs can't make sweets. I'm not sure about the order the loops were shown, looks like some are sorted. Or maybe there isn't even a correct order to them. About the hawaiian shirt, I think the last Watashi that saw the Assistant told another Watashi about it. And somehow she remenbered about only the shirt. That or the Watashi really decided how Assistant would be, and the fairies did. But... If the Assistant is really the dog, and if that is why he can't talk... that would be so awesome. |

| @Yumekichi Yumekichi11 said: "much to the Fairies getting rather excited at the bin of candies it showed rather well Watashi’s expression at them. Especially when they did consider cloning Watashi whom she never wanted but they do anyway". Nope, they don't clone her, simples twist the time to allow her to be present in the same place more than once at the same time. Yumekichi11 said: think of the ball as Watashi being bounced around. That is a key to show that they will bounce around Watashi cause they need to perfect the flavor in the banana to taste like it since it’s made artificially from their magic Dude... watch more closely. That is not a ball, is a skull. Yeah... exactly what you thinking. Yumekichi11 said: That is proof of a FUCK UP of the Fairies where they did not put the watch back with the time shift. Because she was not cloned. Yumekichi11 said: MASS ABUSE Yumekichi11 said: RIDICULOUS! Yumekichi11 said: MASS POWERS abused "mimimimi. Cry some moar bitch!" Yumekichi11 said: it got totally stupid not to mention it was all for the fairies wanting more sweets due to indulging themselves in the bin and becoming rather gluttonous of the candy. To finally amend to doing this in order to perfect a banana’s taste? RIDICULOUS! Makes totally no sense other than fairies not knowing what to with their powers and input in a banana by mistake. While I do admit in this case it might better to not have them around. They are all trouble. Sure it’s nice to prevent deaths of some humans due to them being in accidents. However this episode showed how much trouble they can be with one invention of a taste for a fruit. My friend, when you fall under the VERY WRONG impression that the faeries were cute? Innocent? Well-intentioned? Pure? These naughty little things have always been evil. Did not realize until now this obvious fact? |
