| I didn't expect Sana to just straight up teleport Zouroku to her to be honest. Kind of interested about the bit with Sana and the blonde woman, too. I feel they might be related in some way, by blood or not. Anyway, I found the bonding part with Zouroku and Sana really adorable. Hope they bond more soon. |
hugtto precure is an international treasure thank you for coming to my ted talk |
| oh wow more info about Sana |
 |
| Continuation of the kidnapping incident, and we get some stuff kind of explained. Sana isn't just some girl with powers it seems, but isn't even human. Certain points felt a bit rushed to me but nothing to bad, and I notice that the music keeps this calmer and more fantasy element that makes the dire situations seem not so dire as they should be (when Sana was shot, the music just didn't give me that feeling, while the music at the end was more actiony sounding which matched the moment, still felt bad though) but hey, that's just me. I wonder how things will go from here on considering were only on episode 4. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Ok so this episode really expanded on what Sana's true background was like. Zoroku's speech felt really connecting and I'm sure Sana will mature more after this incident. That was a rather flashy entrance by Ichijo, but I liked it. |
| Zoroku best guy 2017 confirmed. The whole speech he gave was insanely touching and relatable for everyone who's ever felt like an outcast before too. So you're different than others and cause problems? So what! Be proud of who you are and learn from mistakes, don't filter your own needs out as that's never the answer! |
| Nothing is Completely Useless. |

| Man, this show is so underrated this season. What a great episode. I love how Zorouku isn't one of those typical over-the-top elderly anime characters, or even worse, a pervy old guy. He just feels like a real person. And a badass one at that. Top 5 character this season. |
| Damn. I thought this was going to be some sweet and slow-paced slice of life show. And I was not expecting this. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| Put this in episode 8 or 9 and I would have been crying like s***. There's simply not enough time for us to understand Sana and, more importantly, her relationship with Zouroku. They should have made this a 2 cour and take 2-3 more episodic episodes. Or even split the story into two and see if it will sell or not. (if it doesn't, then well nobody would be looking for S2 anyway lol.) Anything to make this beautiful episode truly meaningful not just to Sana, but to us. Sad. And this is such a beautiful episode. |
| It looks like Sana met her future self o,o aaand dayum Zouroku is badass in here xD |
 |
| Minnie C triggers me so much. Idk I don't like her VA (same as Tokie-san from Urara last season). Sana and Zoroku moments were pretty good albeit Minnie C giving them the time to talk was quite dumb, though I guess she had nothing to worry about since Sana was out of energy. An alright episode, really like the normal stuff but the supernatural parts are still a bit iffy for me. |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| Minnie C is slowly becoming the Iok™ of this anime. Very interesting episone with huge info dump about Sana. Although the first few scenes were quite disturbing. Hopefully they manage to escape next week (killing the kimono B** while at it). |
| Man.. what a plot twist! Zouroku's badass as always like in 1st ep.. BUT THAT CLIFFHANGER ENDING!!!! Why... just why..? L-Ryoshi said: That spoilery foreshadowing though.. umm to answer your question.. umm maybe she's that powerful maybe?How the HELL did Sana connect through space-time and talk with her future self???? It's so obvious that's her in the future, considering her reaction to Sana's comment about her flat chest, lol.... This gives me hope for just how things will turn out, since she becomes a florist in the end. Lufwa said: That VA also voiced Elsa aka Bowel Hunter from Re:Zero. And yes, she was so confident and assured about it.Minnie C triggers me so much. Idk I don't like her VA (same as Tokie-san from Urara last season).

| Fantastic episode but man was it painful watching Sana get literally tortured like that. Love how Zoroku called out that bitch Minnie C and essentially said Sana was far more human then she could ever be. |
 |
| "People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but it's the way you live your life that matters.” -Simon, City of Glass This episode was very touching. I definitely was not expecting this anime to be that dark. |

| Amazing episode. Really, what does be a human is? There are anime to have funny moments but there are anime that help us to remember who really we are. In this episode, I was moved by the discussion of Minnie C and Zouroku where they exposed philosophical and symbolic aspects of humans. Minnie C spread the most usual way of thinking of power-hungry and self-centered while Zouroku talked about the most pure nature of humanity. This episode showed an anime with a smart concept. It remains me Madoka Magica not only by their art but by the way of developing some existential conflicts. |
| You know I felt like all of this lacked impact because it's so soon, especially the bond between Sana and Zoroku isn't very strong yet |
| Zouroku you are amazing!!!! |
 |
| Very Nice episode! Sana's so adorable even when she's crying. Sanae is so caring to both her grandfather & Sana! Who is that adult girl with the same hair color as Sana's? her mother? LOL Sana's forcefully teleported Zouroku and he's a bit strong huh... Things are almost getting out of hand, good thing in the nick of time Ichijou arrived to save the day! phrase of this show: "I hate crooked stuff!" 5/5. |
 |
| Hmm. I don't want to get into discussion about how to talk with your kidnapper as that element simply didn't work but even that, most of the scenes in this episode just felt way too forced. Everything is so happy go lucky. Also, Ichijou and the goverment, we are to believe they are the good guys, right? Saving her, to have her live her happy life. Kinda hard to believe I have to say. |
| The vast majority of the characters in this show are just huge assholes or morons. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| The main problem I have now is that so much of this anime hinges on the fact that Sana is a cute little girl. If you were told that there was a non-human being who is mimicking humans and has the power to rewrite reality, I imagine most of you would side with Minnie C in trying to contain such a being. The problem is that there is no real way to prove that Sana is good, but this is an anime so we know she's good (most likely). |
| She looks like a human, she behaves like a human child, likes delicious food. Therefore, she can live like a human. |
| Another fantastic episode with great character development! Really looking forward to see what's next. |
 |
| That bitch shot a little girl in her leg. What a horrible person. Zouroku's speech was great. He's totally right about everything he said. "Listen when your elders speak!" |
