THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The investigation into the mysterious Black Swan continues whilst the female lead's program has found a solid footing to start the show. The only problem: to convince Zen that she has a plan that ACTUALLY works.

The case of a missing girl leading her to Haku, and like the impromptu meeting amidst her precognition abilities (sorry if I keep leaving that out not to spoil anime-onlys, that's her EVOL powers, and it's very evident this episode if it wasn't obvious in the past).

The shop owner that knows Haku from the inside out, true to his character, his kindness emits from his past (if that ever counts as character "development"). His past with her, well...that's as floaty. But he's a loyal friend, who's ambitious of the future, whatever will that may be.

But as is the usual with otome game adaptations, the damsel-in-distress trope always works when danger arrives and is solved by the minute.

Hope the plot grows even more though, this is barely touching the surface just yet.

Next episode: her past with Simon.

Oo this was an interesting episode. I feel like watashi somehow stopped that guys evol from working. She obviously has some sort of power of her own, maybe that's somehow connected to why her dad was investigating this topic??
Nice episode, cant wait for the next one!

The piano ost, animation and the whole piano section worked really well in my opinion and made the whole Haku scene better

Everything is so corny in this anime lmao

Also, ep. 5 and I still can't get over the change of names in the subtitles, it's so annoying...

I can see how this would be confusing for non-players in general, but in english their names change from Simon to Lucien, Kira to Kiro, Haku to Gavin, and Zen to Victor. They also have different names in Chinese. Minor and Anna seemed to be given different names as well from what I've noticed.

I really liked this episode and it was nice to be able to see a glimpse of Gavin's childhood. I loved how they animated the ginkgo leaves. The one thing that I can't seem to get over is what is Victor doing at the end of the episode? He seems to be talking about MC being a candidate for something and a goal, so it makes me wonder if he's a part of Black Swan too.

I loved how Gavin's flashbacks were incorporated and we got a glimpse of his parents as well. So in this episode, MC's powers was awakened a bit and caused Jay's evol to go out of control. This scene alone also gives you some background as to how Gavin initially got his evol.

And lmao, I was NOT expecting Jay to crossdress as Josie so when he took that wig off, I was like "hold on, wtf is going on" lol

I'm ABSOLUTELY looking forward to the next episode! It was that very specific chapter where I genuinely became a fan of the game!

That was obviously a love letter but poor MC girl thought Haku/Gavin was challenging her to a duel. That is kind of cute though, ngl.

The police guy screen time, surely had a lot of potential nice sceneries. But, the past was the past. His backgrounds now completed knowing the fact that he got his Evolved power by the girl, obviously. The letter truth story was also very entertained. The amount of an action scene somehow decreased than before. I rather called it pretty weak, cause the police guy power was too great. However, its nice to seen another revelations of the girl power. Still, since her memories always blurry, she couldn't do anything than that. Fortunately the next part with CEO might be in touched with her memories leaked again.

Overall, its a good episode. Even the story itself felt very fast and no good amount of intensed action again compared to the previous episode. The next one should be pretty intrigueing for me.

This mobile game actually for audiences who are 16+ (like you have to confirm you are at least 16 when you first sign up). Because it gets dark and there's lots of psychological themes that young audiences can't handle. We're still only at the top surface in terms of the real plot and world setting. There's SO MUCH to uncover with all the dark conspiracies that lies ahead. The early parts are pretty slow and corny but god damn the later parts give you so many chills. It's pretty great lol

Yesssss, an entire episode focusing on my best boy! Gavin is just so sweet and awkward and so damn beautiful. He's such a smooth romantic without even realising it 😍

Ooooh that Post-credit scene... things are getting interesting. It was obvious Victor knew MC when they were children & that they're both from the Black Swan Facility but I'm intrigued about what the 'incident 17 years ago' is

As a game player, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it!
And the incident 17 years ago...let me just say that you're in for in a ride. There's so much stuff left to unpack, so many more dark conspiracies left for the characters to uncover.

Somehow, even with the most obviously trope--every cringe scene with Gavin, somehow, I'm still loving him (and his character development). Great arc. I wish they'd show his "scary side" that MC was freaked out about..like I know he's a softie, but you can't even fathom that he seems like a delinquent.

i really loved that piano OST it was lovely - it worked so well with the scene with haku's flashback when he was falling

as long as you're in the wind, i will always find you love that!

Yeah, it's gonna get pretty emotional. There's gonna be a lot of backstory stuff and some (action) intense scenes coming up as well. I have a good idea of where the anime may end up stopping in the story, and...well, let me just say that there's some really big stuff coming. (Cue the "you've got a big storm coming" vine)

Loved this one, but I wish they added more to it, like some more action with Gavin and the guy with the gun, and more flashback-y stuff that would seem less cringey. Wish this wasn't so short and rushed :'/

Bit random how Gavin gained his evol powers by listening to mc girl's piano, but I'm digging it. Good that some misconceptions on Gavin have been cleared up, makes one wonder what would've happened if she read the bloody letter.
