| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Arn imagines herself as a human who meets up with Master. Nothing much happens this episode aside from drama near the end. |
 |
| The closure had sort of old horror series feel. :D You dreamt of the future |
| Oh so it was just a dream? Falling in love with your toy... WAY TO GO, MASTAH. |
| Omgs it was all a dream.. within a dream?! Good ep overall. Struck my heartstrings toward the end there when they started rushing to get Ann fixed up :( |
 |
| confuse @@ what happened actually?? |
| It must feel great being big and mighty, right Ann? Or maybe jealousy:  That date was surprisingly cute and this episode was actually good. You go Ann! Living the dream. |
 |
| A dream within a dream... God... |
 |
| So boring. This show is funny BECAUSE of the Shinki, not for Bland Mc.generic. |
 |
| So far, this is my favorite episode. ^^ I really like what happened to Ann -- she became human. She dated with his master. But, was that all really a dream? I'm kinda disappointed though. :/ |
| I agree with DmonHiro here terrible episode this show would be so much better with out that boring character in it. Normally we see him five minutes per episode which in my opinion is way to much already. |
| ok ep I guess, tho the worst one so far :/ |
 |
| No hamster eating nuts in this episode, but a hamster pouch instead. A slightly above average episode. |
 |
soluuloi said: I admit it. Ann is smoking hot and cute as human. /thread Seriously, she killed me. And all that blushing was too much for me to handle. |
| 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 |
| loved it and guess who got his Fubuki Type 2 Shinki~! |
| Does anyone know the song which is played when Ann tells Master she's a Shinki? |
 |
| funny episode, they should have one when all of them are normal girls size and have to stay in the real world and deal with all the different situations like going to stores and school, i think it would be very interesting... |
 |
| Despite the poorly written story, I felt really good watching this episode. I guess it's not so bad when it tries to be a little romantic. Oddly enough, this is my favorite episode in the series. |
| Think this is a brilliant episode. I had expected it to be a dream but it is much more than that. The virus twist combines the best of a "dream fantasy" cliche with a deeper exploration of the bond between a Shinki and the master, and everything just makes sense - if Ann decides to stay in her fantasy land, does it mean she will never wake up in the real world? At the end I actually found tears in my eyes, which goes to say how successful this episode is (at least to me). |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| I thought this was a lovely episode. If I wanted any of the shinki's to be a full-sized human, it would be Ann. She was amazing with Master during the date. Why the hell did this have to be a dream. I would be perfectly fine if the series was just more of this. It was too emotional when Ann revealed her name during the sunset and then he was gone. It would be interesting (and a little surreal) to explore the relationships of human and shinki if the latter were able to become pseudo-human like that. |
| This sure was a cute episode, quite liked the overall episode! Good the ending wasn't a bad ending! |
 |
 WHO IS SHE? Okay, I admit Ann is cute, but ugh, Stockholm syndrome. Find yoself a better person. |
 |
| And yet another troll episode. Well, Ann was cute as a human, but I really don't care some random rom-com episodes in a show like this. |

| Another Busou Shinki episode intertwining themes from classic stories to drive home one central message: "be careful what you wish for, for these may have unforeseen consequences". A Shinki acquires a potion that promises to grant humanity that she can use to "grow" and have a date with her master. This element, paired with her desire to gain an advantage over her fellow dolls, ultimately leads to her accidentally spilling it. Another Shinki doll is infected by a computer virus, triggering a coma-like state filled with vivid dreams where she transforms into a human girl and has a date with her master. In the real world, the Shinkis help master in identifying and neutralizing the virus before any permanent damage is done. The potion element echoes Alice in Wonderland themes of exploration of dreams and altered states through substance use. However, in this episode, the potion is a real thing that indirectly conditions the doll's dream, instead of being a central element to it (assuming a Shinki's dreams work like a human's). I think this episode tells us how unchecked desires, even innocent ones, can lead to us believing in fake, manipulated realities. Our desires (the love of Master, the potion) might initially feel like a very realistic pleasant dream until we "wake up" to face reality (the danger of permanent damage), if we ever do wake up at all, and realize we were under the effects of a manipulated perception (the computer virus) the whole time. Luckily for this doll, she was able to receive a reality check from the outside and wake up on time. ⁂   |
