Quite an emotional episode imo especially the second half. I also find this episode pretty interesting for showing Shoji's past.

Tragedies happen and at this point, I don't think it's anything uncommon anymore. That embrace...even in their world with such tough lives, there are moments of joy. Felt like Masaru's encounter with Shoji is like fate that was bound to happen.

Damn, love is beautiful!
And wow, Shoji was the one who gave the name to all Shirogane.

Cool episode! I have no idea whatsoever where this story is heading into but I’m liking this little game of puzzles so far, hopefully things don’t get too messy like last arc’s finale though.

No wonder why Shoji, the Grandfather, is still alive, he’s immortal after all. Damn, what a backstory though, love prevails all obstacle I suppose. I wonder what Angelina is up to now though. Oddly enough, even Guy’s puppet is called ‘Angelina’ so I wonder if there’s a story behind that too. Lucille’s puppet, Angelina, as in the one during the fight with the Automata is another Angelina, I’m guessing she made a doll of her or something of the sort for ulterior motives such as for taking down one of the four master automata. Poor Masaru though, his Grandfather is not taking even the slightest risk here.

Looking forward to seeing the next episode and seeing how this all pans out!

I have no idea where this is heading, I feel like things are getting dragged way too much and I'm also tired of seeing the same faces all around.

It was a very touching episode tho.

You know...for this anime to be borderline nonsensical at this point with all the rushed pacing and blatantly obvious plot holes, at least it's still entertaining. Might consider dropping the anime and reading the manga though.
Don't believe the hype.

I'm getting really tired of all of these melodramatic flashbacks. I don't feel that they are adding anything to the story. This series is turning into a disappointment for me.

Regarding like prior episodes from Shirogane (Lady Francine)'s history, to Narumi and now with Masaru a.k.a. Shoji, there's 1 big puzzle to resolve.

But while letting the flashbacks take centre stage, it means that the enjoyment factor drops a lot. So unless you wanna backtrack, it's gonna take a lot.

Regarding this episode, I'd say it's a flashback that connects all the pieces together with Shoji the namer of Shirogane, Lucille with Angelina a.k.a Shirogane took control of Arlequin (technically the start of the 1st arc) with a tragic love story, now with their paths woven together.

Karakuri Circus, as the name suggests, it really shows that the circle of life is enter twined by various strings of destiny in motion and that which is controlled by a higher being as if immortal.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Knowing how all flashbacks ended up so far I doubt this one would be less heartbreaking..

however the anime goes very fast compared to the manga so it's strange to hear the story takes his time ^^

Man this show has really gone downhill. The first arc was so good and then everything after has just shat the bed.

I'm really intrigued by the story and how to connect all we've seen so far. The manga will offer more in that regard, so I'm definitely going to pick it up.

The romance is also one of the best in battle shounen :3

Really enjoyed this episode. Although I enjoy watching the crazy battles between the Midnight Circus and Shirogane I find that the character stories, like in this episode, are much more interesting.

So, we see the grandfather's past. It appears that he is also immortal, and is over a century old.

To think Shirogane was just a name translation of Bai Yin
Interesting to see /shoji's Past and him meeting both Yin and Angelina
So technically Masaru is directly related to that badass Lucille

One of my fav episodes so far, alongside the episode where Narumi "dies" and Masaru is held by Narumi's arm *_*
