| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well I thought this episode went from normal to emotional. Knew something was wrong with that girl since it's hinted that she isn't normal. Kinda noticable the episode has a black and white art style. Compared to previous episode though, this one had less violence. I guess they're trying to do something different every episode. Haruto and that girl actually had some decent character chemistry. Much better than the previous two episodes imo. |

| Totally different taste from the previous two episodes. Although this episode is a cliche, it's not so bad. It seems that different producers direct each episode. So the potential of the show is unknown for the moment. |
| This was a sad episode. It's my favorite so far. The art was quite different. Some scenes kept repeating. Figured there was something wrong with Kayo. It seems she fainted in class. She had a good time with Haruto. She wasn't able to confess to him. He was very heartbroken at the end. |
 |
| Fuck I wasn't ready for the feels This anime keeps on being surprising, I like that! |
| wtf man !! that was so sad :( i love this anime. also is that the VA KANA ? |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Quite a serious circumstance of this episode. It really delivers both episodes to violence and change into romance to third episode, I find it so interesting because I didn't expect how it would begin throughout the series but I can't wait for new episode to release. Conclusion: At the end of this episode, I did not understand why I was laughing about Haruto crying but I didn't admittedly to think it was funny. I just know what's the point of about Kayo being in that dream. |
| It's definitely a Gonzo in their past form. I'm lovin it. Also, I love those little nuances, when she said むしかして、これって。。。付き合ってるってゆうのかな (It's like we are going out, right?) and they are showing the moon right after that (moon has reading tsuki, but 'going out / dating' has 'tsuki' in first part too). |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That was a really good story. Heartwarming, yet bittersweet as she died at the end. Oh man. |
| Its was Fuuko without Key's magic And can someone explain why he have letter at the end and was that real world? |
| Into the Internet! |
| This continues to be a pleasant surprise of the season. And I'm starting to get more and more interested in what our hero is. There's no way he's just an ordinary guy who just went to sleep and got stuck in the dream world, like the description says... maybe he died in his sleep and that's why his soul got stuck in there, or maybe - and even probably - he only thinks he went to sleep but his actually circumstances are much more complicated. Also, I love how he can be equally ruthless and kind, depending on who he's dealing with. |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| Much better than that edgy mess that was last week's episode. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| SOL romance ep this time, the girl survived the ordeal, they wound't keep a dead body in the bed otherwise. |
 |
| This anime is getting more and more interesting with every episode having completely different kind of story. I really wonder what we will get in the next episode. And, sadly, she definitely dies at the end... |
 |
| I like how unique that show is. Every episode is completely different from the one before it making it super unpredictable. Even though the episode was a bit cliched, it still felt unpredictable of some sorts ,especially those scenes that kept repeating. I thought there was something wrong with the episode but then i realized they have some changes and are an actual part of the episode. Kinda reminds me of Haruhi's Endless Eight episodes. Even though it isn't very clear, I feel the girl actually survived considering she was dying when the dream started "shattering" but then she's on a bed normally at the last scene. It wouldn't make sense just leaving a dead body on a bed with her mom to sleep on. Let's hope the show keeps getting interesting |
| I liked this episode and I'm looking forward to see how the rest of the show will be handled. It definitely has potential. |
| Ok, this series is officially the most interesting of the season, the fact that it's a new director each episode give us so much creativity and variety, this episode was pretty well directed and very moody, and if it continues to explore different style and experiment it'll be the clear AOTS, and a strong AOTY contender |

| I totally agree with you. After so much violence in the past two episodes this one caught me off guard, but in a good way :) wolfwing said: It's one of those match 3 games that you can get on IOS or Andriod. Here's the link to the siteI loved this episode, this is supposed to be based on a game, any information on that? LOve the series. Bittersweet, I'm pretty sure she dies, least heavily implied. http://eighteen.gamesamba.com/ DeadeyeReViVal said: Me too. I know for me it was because the way they animated his crying face made him 'ugly cry' instead of cry normally. Wasn't a funny scene but his face.... At the end of this episode, I did not understand why I was laughing about Haruto crying but I didn't admittedly to think it was funny. yeah. |

Thanks, I'm amazed at how good some of these based on a game anime's are, especially something with such a simple premise. |
| Hmm at first I didn't like that the anime was going the episodic way, but actually nkw I think it's for the better reallly. Every episode feels like a short movie, it's really satisfying actually. The change ff theme and pace might be strange for people, but this actually reprents dreams so well. They're short, emotional and mkst of the times very different from each other. I'm really glad I'm watching this. From an anime point of view it might not be a masterpiece, but as an experidnce it's outstanding imo. |
| I'm starting to get this anime! Every episode will have a different type style or something I guess since it's based off a game it would have almost a level type feel? Idk I didn't play the game so I don't know how the game played out or anything... but by the way this anime shows episode goes I can get a good feel But the feels came in too hard :( Did she die in the end or wake ... ? Did she just smile in her deathbed? |

| I really enjoyed this episode. It's sad that even though she found peace, Kayo didn't wake up. At least she died happy and got to experience things that she couldn't. When we're told that she's becoming a witch (and she did) I thought she'd bring more people into her dream world but she didn't. She wanted to be a normal high schoolers but she didn't want to bother anyone too. Its a sad ending for a sweet girl. I was worried about how each director dealt with the episodes, but I'm really digging it now. Each dream is a different experience, so each witch will be different from the last one. Not only in its direction but art style too. Plus each witch has a different regret and I think they're doing a good job in portraying that. |

| With this episode I can say that I'm actually interested in this anime and will most likely be watching it to completion. The anime is certainly erratic, unpredictable and varied. That said, it's not completely senseless. It makes sense that different "witches" would use their power in very different ways. There are so many different types of negative emotions in the world - it's only natural for the emotions to manifest and be expressed in different ways. Looking forward to seeing what's next. |

Pretty interesting. The play on words is also in the music: when they were in the highschool they were playing Debussy's "Clair de lune" ("Moonlight"). |
| I see this show is gonna do a different genre every week (well probably not every week but it seems like they are trying to do a bunch of different styles, and I can appreciate that) Sadly though I came to this show for trippy dream visuals not inconsequential bumbling romance. So this wasn't exactly an interesting episode for me. But ah well, maybe next weeks episode will be more to my tastes. |
 |
| did not really like the style of this episode |
 |
| I'm glad the rating has gotten out of the 5s. It's not that bad at all. This episode was bittersweet. I liked it. Though I'm hoping there aren't too many other episodes with the same tone. It's a bit depressing. 5/5 |
| This is a roller coaster of emotions! last episode was gore and this time it is tragic sad! 4/5. |
 |
| Ow!!! That punched me right in the feels..... |
 |
| So this was different. First episode had me scratching my head, second episode grabbed me and not the third has me hooked. Glad I stuck with it. So it's based on a cell game which I literally just downloaded today and seems the anime is playing on the hopes people played the game. The entire tutorial of the game gives you more information about the dream world than the show has so far. It's free on android so check it out if you do want more info. Hoping the anime does give more info though as I don't think you should need to download/play a game to understand what's going on. |
 |
| Interesting episode. I enjoyed the time loops. It wasn't done all the time... I think that was better than being purely repetitive. Last time we saw death from a revenge standpoint. Now we saw it from a "loss" perspective. |
  |
| Totally didn't expect something like this, but I appreciate the episodic format with a different approach and directing in each episode. Bitter sweet story this time, really simple yet it was my favorite episode so far, well I have to add, I'm a sucker for shit like this xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I might or might not have teared up a little...(hint; I did, in fact, tear up) This anime is so underrated like????? It needs more love and attention Also Haruto seems to be having fun with all his waifus huehue |

I think he as created by the white girl for the exact purpose to save those girls. He is like the perfect dream guy. At least this is my theory. Remember everyone else can wake up. Unless he is also in something like a coma does not make sense for him to be real. |
| i knew she would die (╥﹏╥) i knew it wouldn't be so good till the end （ つ﹏╰） but i still love how each episode is unique !! i wonder what we'll see in the next one .... I will always love you Kayo （ つ﹏╰）  |
| Damn this was actually a good episode. Easily best so far. With a different director each episode it's not a surprise to see big jumps in quality. Hopefully the show keeps delivering episodes like this. |
Zuraki said: I might or might not have teared up a little...(hint; I did, in fact, tear up) This anime is so underrated like????? It needs more love and attention Also Haruto seems to be having fun with all his waifus huehue It's underrated due to the lack of explanation. Which they still really haven't done much of. Like who is the main character? Why is he seemingly able to enter this dream world at will? etc... It's doing a poor job of answering questions so far. I'm hoping once the series is complete it will get more love as I'm hoping the explain more going forward. But 3 episodes in and they have yet to explain much of anything. |
|
| What an unexpected insert of feels. I really loved the thematic shades of black & white this time, It fits really well with the script. JuggernautG1 said: Assuming that's really the shadow of doubt, so some people can't really handle this type of story-telling huh. What a weird bunch, I can't really understand people trying to live their lives fast and recklessly. Just why can't they bask in a moment's pleasure? It's underrated due to the lack of explanation. Which they still really haven't do-----------. |
