| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- We finally get to see the past of MC and Zen/Victor and damn the Black Swan really are cruel. There's more pieces now added to the puzzle, can't wait to see what the whole picture looks like. MC's powers getting more and more stronger and whoa those black holes were so awesome Zen! Next episode is about Haku/Gavin in a burning room, I'm pretty sure that 404 means something tho... |
| Ooo this was a good episode, victor is so sweet :) I’m really intrigued and am probably going to play the game now! The art style still amazes me it’s so beautiful. |
 |
| As a fan of the game..... this episode was pretty terrible lol |
| Yo that animation when they were running away y i k e s. |
| I started playing the game a few days ago and I'm enjoying this anime way more now that I'm digging through the story and the characters (the game is kind of addictive, ngl lol) I just LOVE Victor since the very beginning, I knew he was the kind of guy who would roast you from head to toe but at the same time he would protect you, take care of you and even spoon-feed you lol I feel like there's something fishy about Lucien, though. That scene between him and Victor... I don't know what to think. |

| More of the girl past memories revelations. Now its about the CEO guy screen time to showed off his skill to protect the girl. The plot twist of trap, tho, somehow surprised me. Its simple, actually, idk how easily they got trapped on that situations. Idk why the girl was not die with that missile kind like of power. But Zen, or Huarui, or whatever the hell his name, power was so great. How funny their past and present had a same event for the most of the scenes. Especially with how he saved the girls. The fate must be really liked their relations to be established so well, eh? 17 years protected girl was not an easy job. Oh, well, lets move to another sequences. Police guy again. He seems to had a trouble. And the girl obviously try to saved him out of his misery. If only the girls acted more natural and less dumb. I don't even like the rivalry between the professor guy and that CEO in the end. How could they did that with the current situations? How long the profesor kept his secret to the girls? A fine episode at my below satisfaction. At least the progression of the storyline somehow felt okay, even if its process more slow than some of previous episode. |

Lucien4ever said: As a fan of the game..... this episode was pretty terrible lol Ikr? Lucien and Victor's conversation was one of the most epic scenes in the game (damn was the game OST epic...) and here it lasted for three seconds and there was no Victor's monologue about Lucien's aura beeing intimidating and wondering just how strong is his evol. MC getting her memories back was treated the same as the scene under the camphor tree; completely rushed and with little to no emotional impact, which is a shock when you compare them to the game. Well, if anything, we now know that with this pace they will definitely go up to chapter 18 which is exciting in it's own way, but the unfortunate thing is that this anime is becoming more and more a treat for game players than an anime worth watching as an anime fan. Still can't wait for chapter 13 to get adapted in an episode or two. Hopefully MC will show emotions for longer than 3 seconds lol Edit: If anybody wants to drop a look at how Lucien and Victor's meeting was done in the game (or if game players want to refresh their memory) here it is: https://youtu.be/TgetwBcy55Q?t=1206 |

| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| The main female lead with Zen/Victor and their history together (which felt the standard "same same but different" to Simon/Lucien's one last episode)...oh well, character backstory for now before the main plot. She got her business deal of a proposition, and Zen's deal of his gain, but a plot twist of a trap from Black Swan EVOLvers. Her EVOL premonition again works as a backstory of memories, but I'd feel that that's the only thing connecting both her and Zen, and nothing else (well, aside from character geninuity and the fact that they were both from the same experimental institution). If anything, this episode's the standard for otome game adaptations, nothing to really cry home about. Next episode: the history of her and Haku/Gavin. Hopefully after next episode we can get back to the main plot? |

It's my favourite game of ALL TIME and the lore is phenomenal not to mention the main cast is too damn well-written and memorable. In this episode, both chapters 10 AND 11 were adapted and they were extremely rushed and some of the anime-original scenes made me cringe a bit (the guys shooting fireballs was SO CORNY). The emotional impact was just non-existent in this episode; they cut out so much content and simplified the events of chapters 10-11 to the point it just looks silly. I did appreciate the flashback scenes with little Victor and MC. Yeah if you go on youtube and watch the chapter expansion PV trailers, you can see that the story is very ambitious with its world setting |

If anything, this episode's the standard for otome game adaptations, nothing to really cry home about. The story in the game is really great it’s just that the anime cut out a lot of content. Like this is just SOME of the stuff that was cut out in episodes 4 and 7. Mr. Love is SO MUCH MORE than just a “reverse harem, silly otome game." In episode 4 (or chapter 8 in the game), Black Swan (B.S) reveals to MC that they come from the future in order to ensure the evolution of mankind. At this point, the audience doesn’t know if it’s because humans have not evolved enough and caused catastrophic changes so B.S came to this time and space to seek changes. In the game, MC meets grandpa Chuck and the audience gets introduced to the concept of the Black Cabin. The Black Cabin is actually an independent space channel. it mirrors reality but is independent of reality not to mention time is also disordered there; this opens up the interpretations of multiple world timelines. The confrontation between Lucien and Victor in the game plays out differently. Lucien introduces Schrödinger’s cat experiment where basically a researcher doesn’t know whether a cat inside a box is dead or alive due to radiation until he/she opens the box; i.e. the cat exists in both states. Furthermore, Lucien talks about the 'White House explosion in 1908’ where it was a true event but that case was erased from the box from which they belong to (the current timeline) as if it had not existed from the beginning (witnesses disappeared and the explosion event was literally erased from the world). An observer who exists outside the box (outside of the current timeline) opened it, and everyone inside the box can’t determine the events and fate that will take place in their world. The story is amazing and has so many big brain writing but it's really too bad the anime has to simplify the plot. |

And I know what you mean about the anime being rushed because I'm still at the very first chapters and I already feel the same. I wasn't enjoying the anime that much tbh but with the game I was able to appreciate the story a whole lot more and because it's done in a more organic way. I don't understand why the production went just for 12 episodes, when the game has 24 plus maaany side stories. |

| ....... the animation this episode.....i'm speechless, it got worse. what was with the time jump X3 while she was in the hospital tho lmao..... and their encounter was really....flat... there was hardly any tension even tho the dialogue proved otherwise anyway i liked zen a little more in this episode. i also started to play the game coz clearly this anime really isn't doing it for me. but i am looking forward to the next episode, more haku is always good x) |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| This episode felt incredibly rushed and the interactions between the characters felt really disjointed. It was awesome to get some background info about Victor & MC's shared past though... little Victor was so adorable!!! I'm guessing that MC's Evol has changed a bit cause not only can she see the future but she seems to be able to influence the Evols of the people around her. I'm guessing that particular ability is what Black Swan are after |
 |
I might be remembering wrong, but in the game, wasn't she hit by some lightning attack? Not...whatever those fireball things were? (And yeah I agree, it was super corny lol. Not to mention that there was literally no visible damage done to MC. There WAS a bit of blood in the game if I remember correctly) |

| Victor is not Mr Right! He denied my girl her fried chicken! Anyway, I'm glad she's okay. Well, she's the MC after all. She was so adorable punching her pillow. |
| 臭い- |
| Victor is too protective..btw anyone played the mobile game before of this...hmmm |

ibraheem234 said: Victor is too protective..btw anyone played the mobile game before of this...hmmm This game is hella amazing and like even if you are straight guy, it's worth playing for the story alone. It's not a grindy battle system/RPGs like with other mobile games. Think of it as a visual novel with a story that goes above and beyond with extremely memorable and well-written characters. And it's very F2P friendly because you can access hours of fully-voiced chapters, hear the beautiful OSTs and illustrations, etc. The anime adaptation due to the constraints of being of 12 episodes long really had to simplify the plot, remove characters, etc. so it will never be good as the game. |
| I always thought that Victor was a hard ass but after seeing this episode was kinda cute. We get to know more about the MC and Victor's past with each other. It was kinda awkward seeing Lucien and Victor walk by each other. I wonder where Gavin is cause he's best boy. |
 |
| I have to say that this was a poor adaptation. They rushed a lot of things. I don't know why, but I always have the feeling that they made Victor's tsundere style a little softer. Every time I play it looks like he is ruder than what they're showing in the anime hahahahah The best part of this chapter was the encounter between Victor and Lucien and unfortunately, this scene lasted like 10 seconds. Let's hope they can adapt the next episode properly because there is a lot of useful information about evolvers and superpowers. And the animation of this episode was pretty bad. It doesn't look like they are putting a lot of effort into this project. |

| When a two second clip from the trailer for the anime has better animation and emotion than the episode. Anime Trailer:  Anime:  (Like seriously, what happened? The trailers had such good animation. Why did they need to change it? Did they just rush to promote it? If that's the case, then what we got in the anime should've been in the trailer, not the other way around.) I'm trying not to let the flaws deter from my enjoyment of the show (as I am an avid fan of the game), but this episode was REALLY bad. I've made exceptions for previous episodes (especially with the pacing, I think for the anime as a whole it's kinda bad, but not the worst pacing I've ever seen), but this episode really hurt to watch. A lot of emotions and tension cut (especially when MC gets injured and when Lucien and Victor confront each other), bad animation, etc. Like, there were a few good shots of animation in this episode (and the flashback with MC and Victor was absolutely adorable), but that's about it. That's really all I liked lol. (Also, let's just point out that they're making her run right into the upcoming Gavin scenes THE DAY she gets out of the hospital, xd) Again, I've been trying to give this anime the benefit of the doubt for the sake of enjoying it. Usually I'm not that critical of anime, unless if the flaws really stand out. But now I'm kind of scared for the rest of the anime. Game players, based on how the pacing is going so far, I think it's safe to predict they're going to go through chapter 14 or 15. We just need to pray that they don't rush or ruin THOSE scenes. |

| Zen solidified his position as best boy for me with this episode. Also dude has the coolest powers. Really hope we get to see more of his black hole power. |
 |
| Victor had quite the beardgrow over the course of one week time. For waiting 17 years thinking about the mc girl, Victor sure roasts her quite often for being dumb lol. |
