| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, a crisis. As usual, Boogiepop's words are filled with mystery and ambigious. Even defeating the King of Distortion may not be the answer. Still, I have to admit this episode was rather entertaining with the amount of action content. Boogiepop fought that monster like a boss without fear. It's really not every day you get to see this amount of bizareness all in one place. |

| Boogiepop easily took down that monster. Two more episodes. |

| Great info dump and action-packed episode! Niitoki-san and Boogiepop’s little conversation at the start of the episode was very interesting! Leaving aside the part with Takeda Keiji, we got a little bit of Boogiepop’s existence regarding the automatic appearance once a threat is looming and something about her not having a sense of self and whatnot. While these were pretty clear from previous episodes, it’s nice to finally some clarification from their side. Niitoki-san past conversation with Suema-san touched on a very delicate topic but it’s great to see some relevance to that with respect to her deduction of the King of Distortion’s existence. On another note, we got a bit more from that girl from last episode and the whole ‘turn into gold’ thing is really mysterious. I wonder what that has to do with fighting back against Zooragi, if that’s what it is about in the first place of course. Is the King of Distortion unsure who’s behind the existence of Zooragi or something of the sort. Kentarou-san receiving a phone call from Nagi’s (fake-) step-brother just thickens the mystery even further. And then there was some cool Boogiepop moments throughout the episode, especially that fight! Effortlessly taking down the kaiju like that and fixing the threat(maybe not just yet actually), way to go Boogiepop! Animation for this episode was much better and it just made things a lot more cool and interesting to follow. Some of Boogiepop’s expressions felt like more detailed than usual, but maybe that’s just me. Looking forward to the next episode! Can’t wait to see how this all unveils to spill the beans. Just 2 more episodes remaining, hopefully there’ll be a Season 2 in the making in the near future. |

| I actually really like Boogiepop's personality the more we get to know them. They're unintentionally funny through their indifference and carefree-ness. I like the concept in this arc that your imagination and inner thoughts/feelings have an effect on the material world. This is by far my favourite arc! |
 |
| Oho was boogiepop blushing slightly when talking about takeda? And why would nitoki have saotome has her alternate personality, really makes you think Glad boogiepop had more screentime this episode. Only two episodes left Lets goo! |

1idd0kun said: _MushiRock11_ said: something about her not having a sense of self and whatnot. While these were pretty clear from previous episodes, it’s nice to finally some clarification from their side. Boogiepop is an unreliable narrator and he's clearly bullshiting about that. If he really didn't have a sense of self, he wouldn't be able to appreciate Takeda's friendship, and wouldn't feel jealousy over him. No matter what he says, he actually does have a perfectly functioning sense of self. Now that you mention it, it does make sense for them to have a sense of self but if I were to choose one over the other, it’d be have to be their words. Some myseterious entity and god knows what else, who am I kidding here with. |

| i don't really get why this show doesn't get more traction. it's so cool! |
 |
| Only two episodes left? Ah!! Hope a second season gets announced. I am starting to like the music that randomly plays in the building. The lesson about split personality was quite interesting. I want to discuss almost every scene since they were all awesome, but it is probably a bad idea. |
| I agree with Makoto-kun, Boogiepop is amazing! The confront against Zooragi was quite the spectacle. I was shocked to see Boogiepop bleeding too, it's a first, right? Welp, Miyashita is going to miss her bentou, poor girl. |
 |
| The small fight with Zooragi was nice but I'm curious on how Boogiepop and it got on the same "wave length". I decided to do some information on just the color gold and it can relate to a deep understanding of the self and soul which seems to be what the King of Distortion is doing. I'm wondering though if the "gold" the King is talking about is actually Fool's Gold and more of a harmful trick to the person. |

| I'm sure many people noticed the similar expressions to LWA, it's because the animation director this time is Shuhei Handa. |

 |
| i was meh with it at first but i really like this anime, kind of want a second season once i go to watch the original. wonder how they're gonna wrap up the last two episodes |
| "I appear automatically." So does that mean Boogiepop does not choose when she appears? It just happens because it is necessary? "Takeda-kun is the only one who called me their friend." What about Nagi? So King of Distortion is the "other self" that people see in their dreams. I guess they can drive it away if they accept it somehow. So Boogiepop is going to have to help the victims "accept" their illusions... |
 |
| People really should watch this show. It's so underrated. I know it takes a lot of concentration and attention to dialogues but it's worth it. |
 |
| Very cool. We learned quite a bit this episode, but more questions were raised with Kentarou. Since he had woken up at the end of the last episode I woulda thought he'd be free from the trippy distortion stuff happening. Now we learned ppls distortions can bleed into each other so perhaps that's it, or maybe he just hasn't actually awoken yet. |
| Boogiepop and Niitoki went through a hatch, they talked about Takeda, after a shake, Boogiepop ran and Niitoki watched King of Distortion (as Saotome) again, she confronted him as another personality of her. Niitoki remembered a conversation with Suema about multiple personality. Sakiko, in her dream, is talking with Hina and King of Distortion appeared as Harada. Harada and Shirou found a hatch and after using it Harada fell in an illusion again, received an incoming call from Kirima and it was Masaki. Takeda is watching everything from the outside, some explosions. A young Makoto (kid) made a drawing of his father as a monster called Zooragi. Makoto is standing in Moon Temple and Zooragi is trying to attack him, Boogiepop appeared and after a while, she started to see Zooragi, she jumped from the tower with Makoto and in the process she hurted it, Zooragi calmed down and Makoto fainted. Apparently Boogiepop left Makoto asleep next to his mother. Well, Niitoki's interpretation could be not wrong at all, but I don't think King of Distortion is that related to multiple personality, I think is more related to the conscience and how it potrays the deepest wishes of our characters, as we could see with Makoto and Zooragi, potraying Makoto's vision of his father, who never met. Now, I'm not really sure if that battle against Zooragi was real or if it was inside Makoto's dream, cause at the end, in the dream or in reality, he was asleep, for what I understood, Boogiepop is a real character, if not, it's in everyone's mind. Well, this show has a lot to say. |

| So in this arc the "threat to the world" Boogiepop appears to stop isn't the king of distorsion himself (who in fact is the personnification of every person's lingering inside the building) but is Zooragi, the lingering of Makoto who is how Makoto sees his father |

| Another great episode. I am beginning to like this arc, just as I loved the previous one. The fight with Godzilla, oops I mean Zooragi, was very well done. It seems Boogiepop could handle it, although she was bleeding at the end. Well it makes her more human, doesn't it? Also, that little boy is adorable! |
 |
| Really enjoyable episode. Definitely had a chuckle when Boogiepop just bluntly admitted he also has no idea what's going on, and the whole "do you have experience bungee jumping?" shenanigans. This version of Boogiepop is turning out to be one of my favorite characters overall. Love that nonchalant smugness, and I could listen to that voice all day So the King of Distortion isn't really showing people dreams os illusions, but is the actual personification of their inner longings? As usual, confusing, but I like it. Suema's take on split personality is something that I've also thought about before. It's a really interesting topic |
| Do you have any experience? Best moment of the ep. |

| Isn't there an obvious meaning here? That your looming experiences distort how you see the world around you to where that thing itself becomes your world. The kid saw his dad as a monster for not being there. |

| When you have a secret, are you just acting? Boogiepop is jealous of meeoshtuh. The blueprints have been deleted. Now it is saying she was s----dal because of something she forgot. The underground mannequin realm. Storage corkscrew. He runs towards the crackling building. Everything is coming to life. BoogiePop has never fought a monster before. The distortion is the secret personalities within everyone. The beast has no goal. The wavelengths are aligning. The dinosaur is charging up its explosion. It sends forth a scale laser. Boogie takes him on a bungee. He laughs himself to sleep. It switches its head. The building will fall. |
