Serafos said: Easily the best episode so far. Momo is pretty scary when she gets angry. I'm glad Menou gave her new ribbons. Also, she looks very cute with her hair down. :3 Akari has some interesting powers besides the ability to manipulate time. That old hag got what she deserved. she looks like chinatsu lol also getting friend zoned by her sempai surprisingly both chinatsu and momo would end up with the girl called akari lol |
| Alright as i expect from the previous post, Orwell death in one episode only. I honestly thinking that everything can be handle in one more episode. But oh well ... So that's how Akari being op all of the time. Poor Momo being used by Akari like that. I can't help but sad having her ribbon get burned like that. Glad that Menou actually already bought one before xd. I am still wondering thou why Akari need to erase memories every time she regressed? Must be related to prevent something from the future. But i dunno what. That being said, Menou still convinced to kill Akari on the next journey. How? Until there's another premonition from Akari showing how Flare really become another opponent in the future, by using that salt sword (i forget the name, so yea, lets skip the detail of it)... Half of the season already. And i can see that Jc Staff might repeat to being an ass again if this show don't get continuation. Can't wait for that! |

Kuroka_Ren said: So.. the thing that if "The Lost One uses their power continuously, they will gradually lose their control over it" was a lie? Because it seems Akari just used her concept of time more than I could've imagined. Also, any reason why Akari keeps her memories sealed? Or it hasn't been revealed yet? Sorry for my broken english, also TIA for the explanation. I think it's true otherwise the human error wouldn't be a thing and cause destruction to the four continents. In the case on how Akari can control her's I would presume it's unlike the other lost ones her's was imperfect. |

| Akari is absolutely savage and I love it. |
| This was a pretty good episode content-wise but I can't help but feel like direction/production for this show is dragging it down. For being the halfway mark in the series, and end of the a major arc defeating the bishop, the fight scenes were pretty meh. Story is coming together in a really interesting way though. Love berserk momo and awakened akari, but I don't really understand why flare is apparently the main antagonist now? And why does Menou still want to kill akari? |

As I thought after this episode, I want to see the story from Akari's perspective more than Menou's. |
| I would like to see the user who said that the anime was misandric, here all the characters will be female and that includes the villains and even our protagonists completely lack a pure and white morality |
 "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." |
| Akari is a sneaky one! She destroyed Momo's ribbons, and the poor dragon was blamed! LOL I was laughing so hard, dragon was pounded so hard. loool having too much fun with this show. guess no buying of Love Live merchandise for awhile. I got to give this show some money too. on a bit of serious thing. Looks like somewhere in the near or distant future.. Menou did not want to kill Akari anymore, and that resulted in their downfall. Menou was turned to salt, and Akari had to rewind time. looking foward to next week. :) |
| Great episode! Two yanderes, different types. I guess when Akari spun Momo's ribbon time forward, it was not only a little jealousy, but also a calculation that it would infuriate her. My only minor gripe with the yandere manga is Akane's side is shown more beautifully. |
| Holy fuck is that revelation at the end??? So basically the present is just a rewind from the future Akari since Menou failed to killed her and she only wants no other than Menou to take her life. Fr, I got goosebumps on that revelation. This is just a fantastic adaptation. Idk the source mat'l but I could say that the plot and its flow is brilliant. This is a good example of how you should not judge an anime easily based on its first few episodes. Well, only those with great taste and not dense will be able to appreciate such impressive show. |

| @Liddo-kun Menou was turned to salt, and Akari had to rewind time getting turned into food seasoning, what an embarrassing way to go lol it kinda reminds me of how majin buu (from DBZ) kills his foes, turn them all into chocolate, flour and chicken eggs let's make chocolate gâteau folks! XD |
| Wow, what an episode. So many loose ends tied up nicely, and so many new questions asked. At this point, thanks to the church corruption, we don't even know if killing concepts is really necessary, given that the big disaster was an experiment from Orwell and not some concept getting out of control for no reason. And who the hell is Flare, she is clearly missing the whole time, doing something, and Orwell even mentioned that Flare was the first to suspect her. In the end scene, she was even the one killing both main characters, with the sword that got created during the disaster that wiped out Menous whole city. The only thing I'm not a fan off is the whole overly attached yandere trope, while it was explained for Akari, Momo is still a bit weird, even though it worked out really well for the episode. |
 |
| damnn cant wait for what happen in future of menou and akari |
| Enough things were already revealed and knowing Akari's power, something like that should have happened, that she came back from beyond in the future and that happened, she still spent time with Menou and only she can be trusted. |
| Goddamn, great episode and probably the best episode so far of the series. A calm Akari that can just bleep you out of existence is pretty scary. I guess every time she's in danger, her memories gets unlocked, but I wonder why she needs to lock her memories in the first place. Akari's a menace though for burning Momo's ribbons, but holy shit am I not complaining, Momo was fucking badass, she for sure stronger than Menou. I really wanna see Momo's full backstory. We better fucking see more Ashuna and her gigantic sword ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). So I guess Flare really is gonna be an antagonist, but she's definitely not evil or anything, she's just doing her job as an executioner. I am guessing that's when Akari first looped back, though we're still not really sure how exactly her time powers work. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Easily the best episode of this series so far by far |
 |
| Now this is the kind of twist I was looking for. Not the fact that Menou was being used but rather that Akari came from the future for Menou to get a second chance at killing her. What happened the first time? We still don't know but that mystery combined with how the pure concept was being used throughout the episode have peeked my interest once again. Let's see where this goes. |

| This series was starting to feel cold for me, but this episode heated things up again. I was expecting a plot twist way bigger than the archbishop's betrayal (which was somewhat obvious from the start), and that's what we got. By the other hand, I have to say that I hate when the main character only learns about the villain's plan through the very needless speech of this very same villain. Menou was already dealing with the archbishop's betrayal and then the hag goes there and say "I'm the culprit behind your village's tragedy" with absolute no reason?? The "villain spills out its game because it thinks the main character has no chance to win" cliche is a big demerit in a serious story for me. But well, even with this letdown this series started to become interesting again, so be it. |

Sorry for my broken english, also TIA for the explanation. No, it isn't a lie, and you'll see soon about it. Akari keeps her memories sealed to keep the timeline as similar as possible to the first time she was there, she keeps her love for Menou so her personality is different from the first time. |

| So THIS was the plot twist instead of Orwell's betrayal. It was cool to see a "different" Akari reset and then go back to normal Akari. And to think she is being influenced by a future Akari.... Yeah, crazy episode. On another note, Menou using Akari's power is busted, just aging Orwell like that. |

Kinda curious tho, will this lead to any time paradoxes or anything considering Akari's power I wouldn't say time paradoxes (at least not that I can tell), but there are some changes in the timeline due to the aftereffects of Akari's power that not even she saw before. |
| Ohh I was lowkey expecting something like this but its nice to get it comfirmed either way, especially since Menou seems to have figured it out as well instead of it beeing kept as a surprise tool for later. This is really way better than the rating makes it look! |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| surprisingly impressive episode! highlight is Momo's total rampage! damn she's stronk! 5/5. |
 |
| It’s too bad the real story doesn’t really begin until episode 6. If you only watched the standard 3 minimum, you might miss out on something epic. I suppose it’s good they took a while to lead up to the beginning with the necessary back storytelling. Looking forward to the rest although I usually don’t like psychologically technical anime. The paradoxes and exotic themes were very cleverly used. And here I thought the story was going to revolve around Mitsuki. Haha |
| Shit ton of revelations this episode! 1)Akari does indeed remember her past self, so it makes sense how the train-disaster was avoided (even this was said in the episode) 2)Akari did a huge time-reset several times already. 3)Main reason why Akari does this is because Menou dies. Madoka vibes lol One thing that makes me feel odd is Akari's determination to get killed by Menou... I suppose she did many time-jumps but all end with Menou's death, so, in order to avoid that, Akari thinks she has to get herself killed? Akari's current, deluded self is getting Menou attached to her too much though. This way Menou will once again hesitate to kill Akari when time comes, no? Just like in the "nightmare". So, what is the old Akari planning here, I wonder. |

So, what is the old Akari planning here, I wonder. I havent even read light novel vol 1 yet so I dont think it would be spoilers 1. Akari deliberately makes things feel like "deja vu" to her rebooted self lol 2. I heard its numerous times 3. its basically HomuHomu's move we can clearly see that despite how strong Awakened Akari is, she doesnt even consider to butcher the woman who always kills Menou in other timelines, Flare. apparently the church, the Executioners including Flare are a lot more overpowered than we think which led me to believe that the main reason Menou always gets killed in other timelines is cuz she has developed feelings for Akari, she no longer wants to kill her in this episode we see Akari asked Menou, "...why did you not kill me?" and Menou was like "...how could I do such a cruel thing to my friend" betraying the church means you've committed a taboo, committing a taboo means the church will send the executioners to kill you Menou always gets killed cuz she fails to kill Akari so Akari must die Menou and Akari likely have already tried everything in other timelines, such as; running away for the church, hiding from one place to another or even straight up fighting the chruch Flare reminds me a lot of Arima from Tokyo Ghoul lol he's too overpowered to the point Everyone, including even the MC, Ken Kaneki with all the power ups he's got still couldn't hold a candle to him lol Arima and Flare are like the embodiment of unstoppable force |
| So for those who are curious why Momo suddenly became overpowered… Momo has an incredibly large power stored in her soul so she carefully draws out only a small amount at a time otherwise her spirit will go chaotic. Without her spirit to keep it under control, her power is spilling out in accordance with her emotions. In this condition, Momo was unable to stop until she had used all of her energy. That is why after she defeated that angel, she was able to calm down and she’s completely worn out. |
| I wouldn't go as far as to call this good, but it certainly has some original ideas... |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| I still like the show, but this episode didn't stand out for me like it did many others. Orwell's character devolved further into cutout villain, and while it's fine they didn't anticipate Akari's loops, why do they not seem to have any defense for her doing the completely obvious thing of using her power? The ending lines of wanting Menou to kill her also felt awfully on the nose but whatever. The core idea is still very interesting, and I'm especially curious about this magic system. What makes the link to her power an etheric connect like between people? Because the pure concepts have identities? Because she's actually linking to her other self? I think this could have been a really great show with better execution. |
| What a plot twist! Damn, definitely wasn't expecting anything near to this lmao Can't wait for what's coming! Oh and also, Momo surprised me so much, damn, she was fire in this episode! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| turning ep!!! that was amazing. end part was really good too, i hope we won't get to that future. |
