Welp that was fun.

Not as intense as some of the previous episodes but still a lot of fun to watch. Some of more fantasy themes and the witch outfits really made this episode decorated as well. And another thing that I found fun is how some bits of the episode turned into an investigation after some misunderstanding. This episode really had a fantasy feeling in regards to its style and world. Nice.

Wow so she knowingly sold their stone...for that? What a little twat! :D

Well we learn a bit more about the stones this week but it's still mostly teasing. We learn birds are strongly attracted to them for some reason, and that Chiaya is that blonde woman's daughter...which I honestly shoulda guessed before huh? I'm just wondering what her real reason for wanting to gather the stones is...to stop her mom with whatever she wants them for or??? It looks like Masami isn't gonna recover either huh? :( Still to early to answer these questions.

Also, if the character groupings in the ed theme are anything to go off the girls should be encountering 4 more groups after they're done here...

Thunderoad selling the two stones and giving up fighting the Dynamite Bombers :(

Tokyo looked pretty awesome and the bird getting yet another stone. No more Maccha Green? T.T This was a fun episode for the most part with the 4 being thought of being the culprits! Chiaya being that woman's daughter is also pretty interesting.

The girl telling them to follow her, looking forward to the destination.

I'm falling more and more in love with the beautiful art of this anime <3

What exactly are these stones? They possess power, but why are they so important?
And really unfair of that girl selling both of them -.-

Yeah I thought it so, why sell both of them when one of stone is not her.
That guy only want to make it better, why did she even show she had two? If she only lied and said she had found one stone, the deal probably will be the same.

Gotta say, i liked the first two episodes more. I still don't fully understand what's going on. What i could grasp:

- Gangs fighting each other and stealing stones
- Chiaya can understand animal language
- Chiaya is the daughter of the blonde woman

Oh right I forgot to comment on her animal language thing. It makes me wonder if she might be in leagues with birds. Maybe they have a different reason for wanting/giving the stones...

I'm surprised the Moonlight Stones come in different sizes, with some even being small enough to be worn on rings.

Pretty low of her to accuse them of stealing her stone and then turning around and stealing theirs. Kinda funny that she's going to eventually be giving both to the blonde girl though.

The first part of your statement is incorrect, the gangs are fighting for territory. No one is stealing stones, they are merely being collected by gas mask girl's mother. They just believed that the bombers stole them.

I hate that lightning sword girl, she is selfish as fuck for trying to sell the other stone, that is just pathetic

I'm guessing that the story will revolve around these stones and finding them. I wonder why the present lady wants so many of them?

So people who have one of those little hearts get to have super powers?

The knight/which girl is dumb and annoying. :/ Also, the tall girl's outfit is so stupid.

The show is entertaining and I like the humor, but so far I am yet to get what exactly is the "point" of the show.

c'mon this knight chic is the worst type of scum I know. The Hypocritical type.

don't really mind this episode being a regular episode really hope nozomi and her crew get some best powers though.

That knight chic just ruined my entire mood.

Hi ho! Not quite sure what this means. "Didn't" would imply that you initially wrote it off, but have now come to embrace it; "couldn't" or "can't" would imply that you tried to like it, but don't.

Which did you mean?

If the former, welcome aboard. While this show could end in a pathetic mass of syrup, we can at least enjoy the ride until then.

If the latter, I would just kick back and enjoy the CGDCT aspect of the show. While I cannot guarantee that this show will not implode, up until now it has given the impression that there is at least a coherent plot lurking behind things, and this revelation should pay dividends.

So now we start to unlock some pieces of the overall story. Its a collection quest on one end, and a political game on the other it seems. I love the freaking colors though DAMN. Its all SO PRETTY.

Teaser for some of the big picture stuff going on behind the scenes with the blonde mother collecting them, isn't she the one who was working with maccha green? Maybe her ultimate goal is to unite everyone back into a single country and bring stability. I really hope Masami isn't out for good like they said.

Also knight girl was cool at first but then turned out to be pretty impulsive (seriously paying a huge amount of cash for that stupid thing?) Not to mention stealing from the group AND selling out her comrades by retiring before catching those bombers. How big of an Otaku can you be lol.

Wow, that twintail Thunderoad girl is a cunt with a capital CUNT.

Yea, lemme just steal this stone from you, find mine, then sell both of them for a menial amount of money that is just enough for me to buy a fucking rickshaw with a ginger statue.

I also don't give a shit about the other members of my vigilante squad either, I'm just staying there until it's calm enough for me to slip out and sell my stone to buy a FUCKING RICKSHAW WITH A GINGER STATUE.

So the stones are what give Bests their power right? Then shouldn't those stones be pretty invaluable? (Shigyo was pretty devastated too)

and here is a stupid girl who sells both her and someone else's stone to buy a red fro guy pulling a cart. wut :|

So I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't fully understand what's going on right now. While I enjoy watching this, and the aesthetic continues to be phenomenal, the story has drastically changed from what we saw last episode. I'll be giving this a re-watch so I can better understand what's going on, but they really need to more coherently explain this story.

Yeah seriously wtf is going lol. Well figures, the script writer is apparently new as I don't see any other works under the person's name on MAL. Not sure whether to blame the producers or the script writer more or just both. Idk, maybe this will make more sense later on...maybe...

The question now is, what are the heart-shaped stones for? I know that they give power to Bests, so that one's cleared. But I think there's more to them since Chiaya's mother wants them for some purpose whatsoever.
For the record, I still don't know where this series leads to until now. Haha! I need to see more episodes to finally understand this!

Somewhat of an improvement over the horrible first two episodes, but still leaves much to be desired. I'm starting to find the art direction sickening; stylization is fine, but there's just too much going on here.
