I pity the people that had to read through this snorefest of a LN. Everything is so basic, the writing is so lazy and the conflicts the MC faces are so unengaging. It feels like the author tried to shoehorn some half-assed drama into his wish-fulfillment story.

Hate that I kinda liked the last two episodes lol. I mean it's mainly because the annoying harem bs is not present and the MC is less of a Mary Sue. The idea that he was actually content with staying in this timeline and not trying to go back was unexpected as well.

This episode just felt like echoes from the past episode for the most part, the little appearence of N@N@ served well as a counterpoint but it is kind of strange from the MC to not be able to figure out such thing by himself. Anyways, the job dynamics feels way more fresh than the past conflicts in college, which is pretty much because they actually create a reliable antagonist. The harem undertones are gone but the over exposition is still going hard.

Again... why kyoya doesnt tell even a single soul about his time travel?

I'm pretty sure that it is against his interest. He wants to remake his life and such in a normal way, by telling them that he can time travel he will be probably known because of that. I wouldn't tell anyone about it if I were him

Damn this episode highlighted the issues of game development. It really made me think hard on all those gacha games and their rates and the people working hard behind it to make it more appealing to users.

But this timeline sure has its perks with Shinoaki family time.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Well, if i were him... at least i tell Shinoaki or Kawasegawa that " I dont remember what happpen in the past 11 years.."

If I were him I would do exactly what he does, stay silent, solve the problems by myself and figure out what happened. Imagine you told your wife from out of nowhere that you don't remember any of the memories that you have shared, and you told a close colleague that you don't know anything about the job, what they could do? It would be just an emotional strain for both of them, and would probably not solve anything at all that you couldn't solve by yourself

Although I've never played the game before, this scenario with Kyouya's company making this gacha game reminded me of the major issues Cyberpunk 2077 had when it first came out last year..

You can tell that his constant meddling before in college led to him hampering the platinum generation's dreams, so that's why, despite how much he wanted to help Kawasegawa with the development hell of the game, he chose not to do anything.

Not surprisingly, that led to the game coming out like a hot mess, with the developed engine being buggy, characters being cut from launch and the SSR gacha rates being completely out of whack. This wasn't helped by Kyouya's boss whose only contribution in this episode is to shout his point across, expecting his team to fix it all, only to shout even louder and angrier when that doesn't happen.

Even then, Kyouya didn't want to step in to help, fearing that his meddling wouldn't help at all. However, a surprise video from N@NA, or Nanako, showed that, despite calling time on her singing career in this timeline, she decided to keep on going, mentioned that a certain someone who helped her during college inspired her to sing once more. No prizes for guessing who she meant by that. =P

Either way, Kyouya is now rejuvenated to get things done and there's a lot for him to help out with if he's able to get his way. At least I do like his catchphrase at the end of the episode, which was nice to hear from him again. =)

Some interesting developments. Poor Kawasegawa though; I feel as if she has lost her passion. Nanako still singing was a nice moment there!

Well, i can imagine it... There are lot of stories about time travel, and most of it are predictable. So far, i already predict that Kyoya would messed up their future since eps 3 (without spoiler)... and boom, all messed up

What happened with Nanako is proof that there is still hope with that alternate timeline, and now he needs to fix the whole game issue and Eiko current state, still I don't know how he could "fix" ShinoAki's drawing issue and same for Tsurayuki.

I'm playing a little bit of catchup with this series. Seems like lately I can only get halfway through something and then I start dropping the ball on keeping up on a weekly basis. Anyhoozles--

I certainly wasn't expecting another time-skip, but at least he got best girl. Though, at this point, I'm not entirely sure what to expect from this series. I guess they'll fix Mystic Clockwork, but will it result in reuniting the Platinum Group? Are we just going to end the series in this timeline, or will there be yet another time-skip? @_@

ouch a Cyberpunk2077 event. Eiko works hard but so far all bad timelines for her.
Nanako said what Kyouya needed to hear. Kyouya helping too much vs too little, hard to say what's the mistake untill the aftermath.

I didn't think I could hate this aberration more until the moment the MC said "But there's nothing we can do..."

You were the one who screwed up, you have to fix it, so it doesn't matter if you're happy? I don't care if you cry, you stole everyone's dreams, the dreams of your friends, including your wife. A whimper doesn't fix anything, it just makes you look more pathetic, if you can't go back to the future, correct your mistakes and fix it now, even if you have to tell them the truth and tell them that your idiocy ruined everything.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

Future is still messy but at least Kyouya's soul is not bleeding anymore. Unfortunately Kawasegawa starts to doubt herself even if she is the strongest girl out there. Nanako rises from the ashes and praises Kyoyua, that's a pleasant surprise. And this kinda kicks Kyoyua's passion to continue changing the world in the right way.

P.S.
Sinoaki and Maki conversation about spirits was super cute.

Obvious bad working conditions. Every single character here is unlikeable or annoying, the girl with glasses is a dumbass who i don't know why she is working there if she doesn't know anything. Also Shinoaki stopping with the drawings isn't a bad future, stop making melodrama with that bs, there's more important things in your fucking life. Even if this subplot is extremely forced and stupid, bring her to meet the girl who loves her art so most subplots from this arc could be resolved quickly but no, more bs drama.

And this episode seems that Kyouya learns more and wants to fix the mistakes he made, however he regrets that he chose to go now in their life but luck with Nanako that he starts making music from us now he has hopes. however, the worst thing for me is that Shinoaki gave up drawing. 😣😞

Oh god the pain of trying to solve a bug but multiple other bugs appearing in the process...
I had my hopes up that Kyoya would go back to the past and rectify his mistakes butstaying in the future is a let down in my opinion. Kinda irritating that most problems revolve around Kyoya although that doesn't necessarily had to be the case.

Hello, I have come from the future, having already finished the anime, soo many depressing comments here, thankfully being time travel, I can ignore it all, for reasons, and focus on what I wanted to say about this episode...

Gothic-short-skirt maidens are AWESOME, SUGOII!!!
Marvelous cosplay by Ayaka Minori, she absolutely ROCKED on that setup, PERFECTION achieved. That is all.

Maki does seem cute and a little bit of a trouble maker but Kyouya doesn't seem to even talk to her, Well can't blame him since it's his day off

Wow developers and employees are being pushed through their initial dates by management just to meet harsh deadlines it's not like it wasn't true to life with an overly hyped game being buggy as hell and hot garbage at release

Good to see Nanako back even with just one song although kind of awkward seeing Kyouya watching a video of Nanako singing while there's an ongoing brawl of who knows what the company's downfall in a moment.

This anime reminds me a lot of Golden Time, really bad drama, they think they have such a solid plot but it’s all over the place lol. But at least it isnt as painful to watch like Banri and Linda.

I get what they are trying to show. Even if he “messed” with the past in the end they all still had it in them to overcome their own 心结 n complexes. It’s pretty badly executed tho. If they wanted to portray character development, yet everything just revolves around Kyouya????? So what exactly are they trying to convey????? Omg, it’s like a soap opera but anime form. I hardly feel like he even developed as a character.







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

Hmm... this new timeline is definitely not as interesting as the old one where they were all students. I actually thought we would eventually go back to that timeline so he can "repair" stuff, but apparently not.

Kyouya is happy with his new life but at what costs. Everyone else is miserable or given up on their future. Plus the game that the company released is in lots of trouble. Hyouya can't take it anymore and vows to correct things.

Yeah pretty much this. Starting with the kiss the series went from a solid 9/10 to a 7/10 at most. Imo it had really high potential with this setup and reminded me a bit of Steins;Gate, but sadly everything felt rushed and everything is all over the place now while too much is going on. I really wish we could see more about the university life and more development before the time leap. If this show had like 24 episodes instead, I think it could have been a  great show.

i don't know if i like the current kyouya development. sure, nanako changed his mind at the end of this episode, but all the same, he's the one who should be supporting and cheering others. his "realism" is all over the place
yes, i can see where it's coming to him from, but instead thinking how to improve, he's seeking how "not to destroy". or as some would say "he doesn't understand time travel" lol. because basically he ruined only their past, now it's the future.

and i can't also shake off the fact that entire episode went without much content. i appreciate the character development here, but after the rushing they did in episodes 1 to 4, its feel bad.

considering it's 2 episodes to the end, i would assume that either: 1. kyouyai will stay in the "current future", or 2. get back to his "original future". though i have hard time thinking both would happen. so as episode 8 surprised me, maybe, just maybe, this anime will surprise me again?

What I really love about this specific time travel story is the "guilt" in changing the outcome, and what I really been looking for in a time travel story is if another knows about this time traveling then here came Keiko who made the story so much more interesting for me, man, I must write a review about this later.
