----------------------------------------
Yup, Hime is back...with the others. It's like she never disappeared in the first place, still cheerful as ever. Hotaru is back too.

Got a very awkward feeling from this episode because of the big shift in mood. I think Suzaku still feels a bit mentally stressed though, at least he isn't being all cold anymore. Having Canaria back brings out his better side.

Weird soundtrack they used at the end. Why can't they just stick with the preview OST Oh well, just 2 more episodes to go...I have a feeling they will rush the rest of the story.

So the "chosen" Kid is now finally gathered and learn the believe-to be-shocking truth. Even so when it comes to battle, the kids never hold back.
Which we won't see that much in this episode though. LOL

Feels useless to complain about the animation for me personally since I'm only watching this for story anyway. I didn't quite like this episode as much as the last.

Not a big fan of Johannes, but it's fine. It was nice to see some cute moments between Canaria and Suzaku.

Johannes (aka Chigusa Yu) is BACK!!!! I wonder where is Kusaoka? Maybe dead?
The animation is meh as ever in this episode, but my favourite narcissistic loanshark is back!!
For the people that want some backstory of Johannes I recommend "Qualidea of Scum and a Gold Coin" where the "Project Qualidea" began.

Just a otaku... yup, that's it...

The cafeteria scene was for sure the worst animation and art i have seen since i watched anime lol

Johannes is suspicious, too xD

Aoi is gonna do some stupid shit to prolong the plot, isn't she?

The moments between Icchan and Canaria were cute.

Sometimes I think that the studio or whoever is on top, is doing some sort of test or research regarding the viewers of this anime or viewers in general.

Maybe they are researching what viewers put higher priorities to, the animation art or the storyline. And all these bad art and plot lines were done on purpose to see our reactions.
And how long we, the viewers will keep on watching/tolerating despite the bad arts and our weekly complaints.

This is the only excuse I can make up for them regarding this anime and its many flaws and shortcomings.

And if this isn't the case, which it probably isn't, well, they messed up big time. There is no way for them to recover or come back from all the negative remarks it has managed to get.

The studio just dug its own grave..

Once upon a time, there was a company named A1-Picture, it made a lot of interesting animes like Working!!, SAO etc. and they're quite memorable
AND THEY MADE QUALIDEA (what an idea....) CODE

I could have sworn that either their brought their sons to draw with them OR the art director was not qualified, it was seriously awful. I had a not-so-good-day and ended up bursting in laughs .... the best work that I can describe what I have seen: It was fassinating




This year's worst art goes to....
Not qualidea code at least, there are even worse than this

That could totally work, they can say that kids were brainwashed in the battlefield and that high command chick with power was actually the unknown's spy.

but overall, it was pretty nice. Ao-chan is gonna sabotage their efforts somehow. I wonder if Airi and Gutoku are real humans who are manipulated by the Unknown the same way as the kids.

I do not know about what comment first, about the very simple plot or animation, well, the animation was really doing my hurt eyes, I hope not to see stickmans until the end of adaptation, I really like the soundtrack, but only this not helps a lot, and about the plot, the protagonists simply moved aside at this point of anime and kept fighting, I wonder if there is something more in story.

And about Suzaku increasingly think the writers do their best to make him make an idiot of myself to in the end making him be the highlight of victory, if it is this, I would rather see him fighting against the former comrades until the end, with a tragic end than a happy ending dizzy ..

But then again they acted too suspicious to be considered good people. However the things Johannes spouts also give me bad vibes.

On Aoi: I think her world might become trouble... She can relay thoughts and information from one person to others after all.

On another note: The "Suzaku is a real hero" was cleared up. I have forgotten that Kasumi calls him a delusional hero.

The animation was...ehm...was....at best, bad. The cafeteria scene gave me cancer. The episode was a build up from how I see it and a rather boring one. The sibling's mom was...weird at best. I don't trust her. The woman with the Pink hair looks weirdly good and not that monster they try to make tge Unknowns look like. Oh well 2 eps left. Not many things till the end.
A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over?

The episode was enjoyable and I find the mother of the Chiba siblings an entertaining character, but the visuals were simply horrid. Why A1 Pictures? Why?

I wonder if they tried to made the Unknown commanders sympathetic or anything. We will discover that in the next episode anyway.

Btw, the ending scene where Ichiya and Kasumi made the peaces was very cool.

That is one fun okaa-san lol. And she's the commander of the human forces. Lol those who opposed her were either bribed or killed in "accidents". She sure is dangerous despite her looks. Lol her names are so funny. "Guaranteed to kill unknown canon" lol

So the world was attacked by aliens who destroyed stuff, killed people and took over a lot of land. The humans put the children in sleep mode but the kids got taken by the aliens who woke them up and gave them fake memories and fake vision with those codes. The humans fought back but it was pretty difficult since the aliens had a cloak, which was the barrier, over their places which made everything within either not visible from outside or look completely different. The unknowns the kids were blowing were unmanned drones and towards the end could have been helicopters. The two legged unknowns were those robots. And the ginormous unknown was possibly the main human ship. And as opposed to what the kids were doing with the aliens, here they don't have to fight. In the fake world the adults were useless and the kids had to do the dirty work. In the real world the kids can take it easy as the adults will be doing everything.

And Suzaku is upset because his whole life has been a lie. He was fighting humans with the unknowns without knowing it and wanted to be a hero by killing many humans. And of all the people in the world, it had to Kasumi who opened his eyes. But he gets over it because there are some people out there who are lower than him.

What are those unknowns the humans are seeing and fighting? As in, what did the kids see them as in their fake world? I don't recall the kids having any kind of backup in any form other than more kids. Or is this the unknowns fighting outside the barrier?

Also, are the visuals getting terrible with each episode or is this maintaining the same level of crappie? The more or less good story and everything is being completely ruined because this show can't stop looking like crap.

3/5 average

Despite the poor animation,this episode fails to link the previous episodes obviously,though we got the whole setting explained,the problem of characters suddenly pops up is still there.This time is Hima and Hotaru suddenly shows up from nowhere,the plot is kinda rush and doesn't seem to show a connection to the previous episode...
I bet this show will be end up badly but at least it isn't as bad as the beginning.

Life is empty without anime

This anime is so amazing.

Amazingly disappointing that is.

When I started watching the series, it didn't make much sense to me.
(Other than the fact that we all fear the unknown)

Then when they introduced the concept of a fake reality, I felt that I should give it a chance and started to have higher hopes for a deeper and more meaningful backstory.

And then... Bam! The unknowns become the knowns and the knowns become the unknowns. And then the characters are like 'I don't know what I should know anymore.'

This anime has 2 more episodes to redeem itself.

Yeah, the art was pretty damn bad. But hey they finally explained the entire premise of the series. Now we'll get some sort of semi-resolution for the end of this series at least before the "now go read the LN so we can make more money" ending.

Very true.

The way I see it, the people just need a reason to hate on something to satisfy their ego. At first, they branded this weak because of the predictable, cliche story. Now, since the story turned out to be worth-while, they need to maintain the status of weak anime by clinging to the art.

Meanwhile, Mob Psycho Whatever has characters that are basically a potato with 2 eyes...

I thought the truth was other, but I guess this works too.

From what I'm understanding it seems the main adults (i.e. colonel and assistant) while they are Unknown, they have grown fond of the kids they took care with and are on a more shadow of grey rather than being downright evil.

The mom is kinda funny but sometimes I think she pushes it in trying to sell her silly character. Her naming sense is hilarious though.

Now it is a matter for things to progress by themselves I guess. Seeing Canaria back is the best though :P

The animation was much terrible in this episode.
What happened to A-1?
It looks so derpy every second.
I kinda don't like the MOM though. She's a commander yet she really looks stupid and kinda suspicious at the same time.
Still, I am interested of how the story will progress and more revelation about the UNKNOWNS.

So they did explain the new reality fully to everyone rescued by the humans. Chigusa mom is pretty interesting coming this late to the party, and Icchan feels like a MC now.

Also looks like Aoi is going to side with that Gutoku and Asanami coz of maybe 'family'??

Wow legendary quality, totally competes with denpa kyoushi (both A1).
Exposition reveal's rushed but interesting. Dictator mom both fun & annoying.
From the alien pair, sounds like they don't plan for retreat but know their losing. Aoi's in conflict. Chiba dialogue & ost were the best parts, & Canaria/Suzaku were fine. ED has the best art as usual.

After the shock revelation of last episode
i was looking forward to this episode and man one hell of a plot twist
and revelation.

So they were fighting entirely within a fake world
while the real world was still here then eh

Man its so good to see not just Cana but also Hime and Hotaru again

Wow Katsumi and Asuha's mother looks so young considering their ages lol

What a name for their army though

So the true unknowns were the ones that they were working for
man that must have been shocking.

Man i feel for Aoi because her mother that she loved so much was an unknown after all this time. But to me it looks like Airi and the other commander did care about the children.

Still im liking Johannes san though and her names for her armies weapons are
so hillarious as well

What a twist though
But im liking the direction that this is going now

Cana and Icchan are so cute together though

Overall this was a great episode with some heavy plot and good combat scenes
and solid voice acting.

Can't wait to see what happens next week

And finally we can see Icchan and Katsumi work together for once
