| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eleonore continues to show her determination this episode. Harlequin's horn finally gets shattered! About time. I feel like this makes a turning tide in the battle. What an episode of emotions. Narumi and Eleonore finally shows more real enjoy again in this arc together. We only got one more episode left of this journey. |

| Did Ashihana had to die? His death was too forced! |
| Ashihana deserved better. They literally waited for the final to kill him when until that point he was safe. It embittered an otherwise good episode for me :( Also, what happened to the loli automaton? Is she going to be the final boss or something? |

 |
| That smile from Shirogane and that determination from Masaru was what changed it all. Both things were quite the honor. Arleqino finally found the true meaning in his life at the end. Now up for the finale. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| this series needs so much more appreciation...such a great episode... glad and sad that final episode is coming...such a great episode this was |
 |
| Ashihana's death really was dumb and pointless. What a waste. |
 |
| Whoa those Circus guys were still alive?????? They're suppose to be death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Why did the Circus guys survive is beyond me. But Masaru is the real MVP here. Going on his own to stop faceless and find a way to get rid of ZONAPHA, can't wait for next episode. Ps: I fucking knew he was going to do that ;_; That aside, Narumi and Eleonore scene was really touching, seeing Arlequino and Pantalone witnessing the very end of their mission really got me. Good job Arlequino, Pantalone... now you all can rest in peace. RIP Ashihana, so bad that your death was so dumb and pointless. Depending on the Ending, I might forgive the midnight circus arc and give this anime a higher score. Its really tempting |

| Yes, yes, yes. The ship sailed. Now lets fight the bad guy, but Masaru, my man. Dont't bow to the idiot, just cut his f-ing head off. |
 |
| Masaru has taken Narumi's place on the space shuttle, and because of that, Narumi and Shirogane are together, and have confessed their love for each other. Also, the Nakamachi Circus members survived! Ashihana sadly died, but at least he allowed Masaru to safely ascend into space. Now that Masaru is there, will he get what he wants from Faceless? |
 |
| I'm happy for Eleonore and Narumi! |
 |
| Although it was a beautiful site between Narumi and Shirogane, I felt it was rushed. And I also wanted him to be the one that faces Faceless instead of Masaru. Masaru has already fought Faceless. Win the fight, regain his memories and then get the girl. Not this rushed cheap ass romance. |

| 2nd last episode. Let's GO! Masaru being able to fool Narumi in taking his place to face Faceless and stop his shenanigans. And the Nakamichi Circus guys plus the others who have helped both along the way are alive. And that also includes Ashihana. Thought they were dead by now. And man, Harlequin is still alive. Chasing Eleonore. But Narumi to the rescue. Too quick to take a glimpse, as if the pacing is quickened just for the finale. And their momentary sweet moment, sealed with a kiss. ABOUT TIME! After 9 months. What both Pantalone and Arlequino have been longing for: Shirogane's smile. So Masaru and that loli automaton went up. And Ashihana, your death was a lousy job indeed. All those emotions from the beginning, all for naught. So...the final quest: Masaru vs. Faceless in his original form. No doubt this won't be an easy final boss. ONE MORE EPISODE. Let's see how this would end. A set-up episode that's not bad but not great either. |
 |
| This episode was so full of emotion. I love how Masaru has grown so much. That crying baby has grown into such a great guy. Also we finally got to see Narumi x Eleonore moment. Damn why Asahina had to die too. Sadly one episode left to go. I sure hope masaru gets a happy end . |
 |
| Good episode. The emotion really shined through. Especially the scene with Pantalone and Arlequino looking on. Eleonore was so cute. Ashihana's death was pointless, but that's par for the course for this series. |
| Everyone keep dying here and there. |

Illyricus said: I know. I was refering to the automaton who killed her, who is another blonde loli, lmao. Gotcha, gotcha. I had the two of them mixed up. Well, odds are good that she'll show up in the next episode. If I recall, she still has a thing for Faceless. Let's see how she reacts to that army of Francines :) |
| Why does Masaru have to ask Faceless how to stop Zonapha when Masaru has all of Faceless memories? Shouldn't he know? |

frogurtx said: Why does Masaru have to ask Faceless how to stop Zonapha when Masaru has all of Faceless memories? Shouldn't he know? I was thinking the exact same when Masaru fell on his knees in plea. Maybe it’s because it’s confidential info so he can’t tap into those memories, who knows. It’s been a very long while since we’ve had such a Great Episode! Really, just goes to show how deep this show has fallen after the first arc or two. But, that aside, it was so very pleasing to see Narumi finally man up and accept Eleonore for the sweetheart that she is! Man, that scene where she thinks of Narumi with a smile and says something along the lines of “It’s time for me to say Goodbye to this Earth that you’re not on” was crippling. And then her saving the little baby from a perilous situation and effectively blowing up her cover in the process was just the icing on the cake, she’s just too good ffs! Good thing Narumi managed to make it through fate/destiny and the little partnership between the two there to take down the formidable clown was stunning! And then dat Embrace! Beautiful stuff! Narumi reveals that he’s had feelings for her from the very start and just the whole scene was super satisfying! Really super great stuff! Pantalone and Arlequin catching a glimpse of that before their demise was very powerful too, very glad that they’ve at least found solace at long last! On the other side of things, Masaru decides to venture out of Earth himself. Quite the extraordinary title he thought for himself though, I’ve to say. But more importantly, it was very nice of him to give Narumi the vital push that he was lacking! I really hope to see the trio back together again but things seem to be a little dire in Moon apparently. I wonder what Faceless has got in store for us next episode! Back to Masaru though, the little Lise x Masaru scene was very delightful to have albeit feeling a little rushed of sorts. What a waste of a promise too (or is it?), Masaru has become really popular among the girls now it seems. Mad props to Ashihana by the way for keeping his final task under check but I highly doubt he’s done for just yet. Dude’s made through more bleak situations and it’ll honestly be a little disappointing if this is how he’ll end. Surprised to see the Nakamura Circus members alive though, how’s that even possible? Didn't the cargo flip and crash into the ground consequently causing it to potentially blow up then? Well, we’ll probably know so .. whatevs. Looking forward to the next episode! Here’s to hoping this show will manage to end on a high! It started off on quite the role so highly curious to see whether it’ll end on that note too! On another note, it seems as though the modified Loli puppet will be back next episode, I’m very invested to see how she’ll react to Faceless’s Francine Paradise lol. |

| Really happy for Eleonore and Narumi. They are finally a couple. Though I really hated the way Narumi treated Eleonore. |
 |
| Ashihana's death was not pointless as some stated and many puppeted. He potentially saved the world by making sure the rocket wasn't blown out of the sky. Of course he did it for money, he's still an assassin afterall, but only for 10 yen to highlight how far along he's come since the beginning. Looks like Narumi is finally back! He seemed to lose a bit of his own humanity for awhile... great episode. |
| No not Ashihana too.... At least those three of the circus survived and Narumi and Eleonore made up. Wait if Faceless cloned his old body, couldn't he just make like a clone of Francine's body? Masaru you better beat that crazy lunatic up in the next episode. |
 |
| More great chara died 😭😭. I'm happy Kato is finally happy with Shirogane 😍😍😍 my ship is happy so I'm happy!! Wow that ending with Faceless and his harem of Francines! The final ep is coming!! |
 |
| I officially hate Narumi. The whole show became so annoying after all this love->hate->love drama. He acted like an ass and treated her so horrible but now he likes her again? The character is so inconsistent it makes it painful to watch the scenes he's in. |

| People saying that Asahina's death was pointless and forced seem to have missed one of the central themes of the show: repentance and punishment. Asahina was an assassin. While he reformed, he still needed to pay for his sins. Same for Vilma, Columbine, Pantalone and Arlecchino. They all died as punishment for their sins. However, since the 3 Automata weren't exactly given a choice in their sins at first, they each received a small reward before dying. |
