It's kinda amazing what science if capable of in this show, although it's not that surprising given how advanced their technology is.

Seems they got no choice but to fix the mistakes of the past. Idk but this season's pacing is slower than I had expected but seems they're ready for the upcoming fights.

Great episode back. Enjoyed the pacing and I loved seeing takeru overcome his trauma to rejoin the fight. Seeing that sumika “bot” after what happened last week in the other world was tuff. Looking forward to seeing the new team in action next week

I was confused with the way Takeru was able to go back, but I’m happy to return to other world no matter how he got there lol, I did like the arc in his original world tho, it adds to the end goal and Takeru got some good development. Now that he’s back we’re immediately introduced to this world’s version of Sumika and she’s a key part of Alternative IV, I was kinda surprised by that but it’ll definitely make things more interesting going forward, I’m interested in knowing how she became Unit 00.

And now Takeru is part of an all girls squad with more than a handful of new characters that are probably gonna die lol, they’re all nice looking waifus tho. And I don’t know if it’s just me but it looked like the art took a hit this episode, noticed a lot of faces that didn’t look right in the zoomed out scenes.

The drawing and animation in this episode are subpar. I don't know which study was in charge of animating it... but I sincerely hope they don't use them anymore.

Maybe they hired a lower-budget studio because there were no action sequences... but the lack of quality was very noticeable.

They brought back S1's awkward dialogues and animation quality for this episode.

I wonder what they're intending to do with that anime original character.

Really enjoying this show. Especially since it hit season two and we getting a wild escalation in plot and story line. Teacher lady in the real world, or potentially the real world, who knows, also drives a mad ass car. I want one!

Rough animation, hope they get back on track from next episode. Shame it got such a tiny budget.

Most of the scenes were quite well adapted, including "Wings" and the scene with Meiya. If only the horrid animation did not leave a sour taste in your mouth. I'd hope for the Blu Ray releases to fix this, but... realistically.. not gonna happen.

Okay someone tell me if this is a mistranslation or just a stupid script. Wasn't he supposed to save only the 2 worlds (fucked up extra and alternative)? Saving multiverse is impossible anyway since there are infinite amount of alternate universe.

Also, they ran out of budget lol.

He says "I am going to save all of the worlds" in Japanese, which technically you can interpret as multiverse, but is of course not what he is talking about.

There is. Usuki Sakura is an anime original character, she's the girl who was saved from Sado in S1 ep 1.

the mouth flaps didn't match the dialogue very well at all.

I didn't really notice how rough the art was until the cafeteria scene where Takeru looked like he was a part of the counter.

I think that dialogue wasn't in the VN so... anyone can tell me why Yuuko sensei deceived her other self? Not rlly got the mindset on that one. She knew time travel has some issues, so he lied in those papers so the other Yuuko can be happy with only the fact that it's a success and not care about the downfall? (like one world ruins the others). Am I thinking it right or it's a whole other reason? Really got confused at those words

That doesn't at all describe what I am talking about.

I am talking about the fact that their mouths were moving BEFORE dialogue started.

Thanks, now it's much clear, I just didn't remember that, thought she means that traveling is dangerous (for example what happened with Marimo) and she didn't tell that, so the extraverse Yuuko won't stop Takeru from going back (to do more dmg or anything like that). Since I couldn't connect that dialogue with VN and the way they subbed it I thought she speaks about this but I see now.

With the addition of Sakura, I'll just consider the anime to be a separate timeline/branch from the VN.
I don't think they'll change too much content but I don't see them following the events to a T either.

intersting. So this timeline will be different from main VN line?
I just wonder how Takeru recognized Hayase and others since I think Kimi ga Nozomu set in 1999 (when they still in High School) and 2001 when they become adult. So they are Takeru's senior? ( i only watch anime)

I don't think he recognized any of the seniors, he just recognized Haruko and Akane because they have interacted in his original world. They are the same age.
