| 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? |

| 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. |

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? |

| The fairies make MC to forget to go the fetch her assistance in order to make some sweets. Well, enuff about that. From last few episode, we see that those fairies actually help MC to solve many problem.Unfortunately,This episode is different.The fairies are helping someone but its not the MC this time. TimeParadogs lol |

I'm not ready to say "evil", so much as they operate with a very different mental framework from humans. My assumption is that the way they think is simply alien compared to humans. I agree with this. True, they are whimsical and operate on the principle of fun. Thus, they could do almost everything to have fun/get what they want (mostly sweets). However, from what I've concluded based on the episodes so far, they have no bad intentions (actually, do they even know/understand what 'bad' is). They posses a childlike ignorance ("Doggie wants to play with humans?" from ep 5 to name just one example), as well as curiosity, but no human ethics. They pretty much come across as amoral. That is not to say these little imps are not creepy, but that's precisely what adds to their charm and makes them interesting. I'd lie to say they don't remind me of Kyuubey though. |

Not a bad thing but in thee end it got repetitive to a point of being annoying not to mention the dragging around. Wow, they really extended stuff beyond the time it would take usually to explain things. |
jasque said: But... If the Assistant is really the dog, and if that is why he can't talk... that would be so awesome. That would explain this still he was (I might be wrong) writing something to communicate. Of course that would be easier to make than making him talk if dog theory was right (which probably is). I would say that Kyuubey = Fairies analogy is quite correct. We can call them evil, creepy and so on but it's our point of view. They have superior technology to humans (ok they have technology at all), seem to be quite clever - still way they talk and do things make people consider them to be childish. But it comes from not being able to understand what the hell they are doing so everyone goes with such labels in series. And more this series goes it looks like setting (not plot) of Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou spiced up with whatever creators were using :) |
| This was amazing, although it was repetitive I was enjoying how things changed a bit every time any why it happened, in the end the reason was simple. Midway through I heard some owls/birds in the show but I thought they were real so I paused the video and I was like: wut? 0_0 First time I had such an experience with my HD800's, very interesting. I'm looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Inception.... and a whole lot of wtfness. 12 Horse Power XD |
| Ah i love cliches like a day repeting |
 |
| First off, I enjoyed how there was a lot of focus on clocks, a bunch of different scene either began or ended with a different clock(or one showing up in various places). Each time jump was a bit different, like Grandfather cleaning a new, different gun. Ms. Sweets eventually losing her watch that left her and us wondering what had happened to it. I’m a fan of time travel, time loops, and paradoxes so I loved this episode. I thought it was a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to figuring out whats up with all the dogs. Each dog, I think, is connected to one of her previous time loops selves and is a side effect the fairies don’t care about because they aren’t sweets. With the appearance of assistant it seems that the show has been showed to us out-of-order. With this and the previous two eps happening before the official first episode, so I’m wondering what or if there is a good reason for this. Has what the fairies done this episode actually effected the continuity of the show and this time loop messed up the actual order of time, or is it just an artistic choice to make things a little more interesting. Another possibility and I think the easiest answer is that Ms. Sweets is delusional. the only person who has even been around fairies seems to be assistant and he can;t talk so he wouldn’t say anything to this girl. She has delusions of grandeur that she’s working for United Nations as a mediator. She even started out this episode just eating a bunch of candy and this whole episode has been a sugar high. how about that for being kind of dark Ms. Sweets? Really though I hope the fairies are real. She has stated that not everyone can see them and maybe that’s true. But right now, she just seems kind of crazy for the most part. But you’d be kind of crazy too if you had to watch over semi-omnipotent beings that could control the very fabric of space-time. We should be getting pretty close to “endgame” stuff so if any of this is actually going to be heading for that direction either she’s crazy or this time loop got out of hand would be it. Although from the op we still have some girls to meet(unless those girls were from Y’s arc but I’m assuming they are meant to be a new group of characters.) So I’m guessing just artistic freedom with that in mind. So I guess I hadn’t realized it but it looks like all the episodes are gonna be Two-parters. That’s good. It gives more time to tell these weird stories. Each Arc is different, and brings new odd stuff to the table and it’s because of all these weird little tales that I like the show. So my main qualm now is what the hell these little Fairies are. I’m hoping that we will be given some explanation as to who or what these fairies actually are, humans that evolved past the need for human bodies? Tiny robots who can control the fabric of space? Aliens who came here to destroy humanity and eat our sweets? I’m hoping that this show gives us an episode before it ends that explains what the hell these little things are. They’re magical or maybe just so extremely advanced we can’t tell the difference. They have a gigantic factory with creepy bread robots in them that bleed jam. They can make a manga that is blank and sucks in the reader and the reader fills it with their imagination. They can clone you, or make you go to a happy-zone where they’ve brought you multiple times where you make sweets for them. They are terrifying, but that’s all I know. Anyway, I like this show a lot. This is one of my favorite episodes so far. I’m sad that we’re getting pretty close to the end but I am pretty positive that this is up on my top few for this season that were quite good. |
| I sometimes watch lots of anime. I sometimes write reviews of said anime at my website. http://www.crawken.com/ |
| Fairies wanted to eat sweets so they created watashi clones,so amusing! |
 |
| So basically the arcs are happening in reverse order? |

Crawken said: To answer you shortly is not the OP showing her rather INSANE at one point in a room with loads of them around her?

| More Watashi is always a good thing. |
 |
| Am I the only one who think all the dogs in the end are the time-slip Watashis and the ball the fairies was playing around is a head. (gulp) |
| I was so mindfucked I skimmed the last third of the episode. |

MaxCrazy7 said: Am I the only one who think all the dogs in the end are the time-slip Watashis and the ball the fairies was playing around is a head. (gulp) Not at all, that very much looked like a (fairy) head. And sounded as one, for that matter. As for the dogs, they do show at the very beginning Watashi seeing a dog turning into a human-like figure for a moment that resembles her. Whether that was a mirage, hallucination or a real thing, we can't be sure. I just remembered one thing: the first time Watashi goes to pick the assistant up, she looks at the watch and says it's 12:40, then meets a fairy who gives her a banana, spots the fairies 'playing football' and the next moment meets her grandfather who says it's already 13:40. Now, of course it could be that she just couldn't tell the time correctly from that sun watch. But, if that's not the case, what happened during that hour? Probably the same as whenever she ate a banana. |

| Hmmm .. weird... |
| Definitely a parody of the scenes found in anime that involved time travel. |
