| Not even taking a trip on the train is safe in this show. I'm not a fan of Momo but have to admit that she can be very deadly if not careful. Menou is still kinda carrying this show together and Akari definitely needs her guidance. Ashuna is also pretty tough but I had a feeling she didn't show the true extent of her skills yet. |
 |
| Momo in action! She's much more badass than she looks. Also, Akari was a very brave girl at the beginning. Menou and Akari handled the situation with the train very nicely. Good job, girls! |

| Just waiting for the moment when isekai'd girl will know about the real intentions of our executioner. |
 |
| Really good episode, probably the one I liked the most so far. Didn't had many expectations for this show, but so far I'm enjoying it. |
 |
| @Replette mana transfer gone sexual lol I shouldve seen that coming |
| Idc what anyone says, Paper Bouquet is the op of the season. Mili’s vocals and those visuals just go together so well and really create a feeling of mysticism and fantasy. These first 3 eps have been so fun and magical. JC staff seem to have really improved since Danmachi II and Toaru III. Can’t believe so many people wrote this off when they found out it was yuri, like imagine missing out on peak because you’re afraid of girls Lmaoo. |
 |
| I got Madoka Magica, Re Zero, Mugen Train, Munou na Nana vibes from a single episode. Liking it so far. |
 |
| The anime is following troupes of a lot of different anime but not mastering over anyone.. but isn't bad at anyone either.. We got a lot of Cute Akari and Menou scenes so that's all right.. I find Akari to be more cute then annoying and that's one way I can endure watching this anime.. Ashuna and Momo fights were cool.. Ya have to admit that.. this episode was better then the 2nd episode.. its a solid 7.5/10 all right.. Lets hope the studio is able to keep steady production values throughout the show |
Replette said: Yeah I don't understand these decisions either. Haven't read the LNs but I can very much imagine the fight itself being described way more awesome as well as actually telling us what is happening in the battle between the Princess and Momo instead of cutting away whenever possible. Also can't stand how characters always just stand around (pun intended) while action is happening right next to them, like sure bro we have time to goof off while this train is spinning out of control. Perhaps it just works way better in the LN format, you can use your imagination there instead of being constricted by time and budget.well at the end its J.C staff, there were many sequence in this episode that paled poorly in comparison to the LN or the manga, like how terrorists were done like stupid fucks and menou standing like a cardboard to the terrorists rants and the whole formation of the knight formed by the red pill, the fights were more interesting in LN and manga especially the use of Momo's weapon which in this episode displayed zero versatility (her weapon is a threading saw but for it be used like a boomerang or a sword was disappointing) , menou dodges the strike instead of parring it then shouts at the formed knight like bruh.... Menou was supposed to be a character that has wits and quick to respond but this episode displayed none of that instead it did the opposite. THE WORLD...... ngl that was funny Akari pops up and the next scene was disappointing like the way they act doesn't line up with their personalities at all, too many unnecessary scenes and i don't expect a perfect 1:1 adaptation and i'm all for changes that are different but this was cringey, the fights and techniques are the good part of this series but not displaying it and adding unnecessary characteristic traits which doesn't even mesh well with the characters is a waste, now its like other cliche anime even though its premise is different. Its not sexual its just mana transfer. Next few episodes which will adapt LN 1 is really cringey and lame even from plot perspective, however i do wish that fights and the execution of story from vol2 which will adapt other 6 episodes is really good, coz out of 3 volumes i loved that one the most. |
| Yeah, I think it's safe to assume that the Iekai girl did turn back time in the train. Most likely she waited in the car as told and the crash was hence not avoided. 1 question though. The Isekai girl doesn't retain memories from the past, or so it seems. So, how did she make the change??? |
| The Battle OSTs were pretty good but the battle itself did not impress me as much. Looks like their relationship is slowly progressing. I wonder if Menou's Guidance not being rejected is a sign that these two are close. Also worth noting that Akari's powers did play a role in saving the train. |

Probably. Seething because they can’t have another generic male powerfantasy |

Getintherobot234 said: Ngl the only reason I am watching is because that bland self insert got killed off. If he had stayed alive this would have been an instant drop Even if he stayed alive, Menou is the mc and the focus of the story so unless you just went in completely blind it should’ve been obvious that it wouldn’t focus on a generic guy. It’s literally called shokei SHOUJO. |
|
| This only continues to limp along on my list because of how weak the rest of the season has been. Oh yeah a generic and edgy isekai is one of the few that catches my attention Story this week? Pfft. Some would-be train rapists… that is to say, rapists on a train, not… You know what, either works fine. Anyway, they encounter some random dudes who emulsify themselves into a blood dude. Also, two random girls square off. The whole problem here is that you'll notice I didn't ever use the word 'fight.' For every one sword swung, there is at least two to three minutes of standing around, pontificating at each other. Hell, the two fanservice girls 'clash,' and then patiently stand there locked together for the next minute straight before separating only to do it again. Less a pitched battle and more the energy of waiting for the DM to find the stat sheet that he left in the kitchen. The animation remains mediocre at best. The direction sucks out loud. I guess I'm getting less distracted by the weird music, which is something it can hang its hat on. The rules behind the magic also continue to make absolutely no sense despite sucking all the air out of the room every time it decides it needs to explain them, figuratively and literally given how long it goes on. Last week, it was a mortal sin to use her power at all. This week, use it to save a couple dozen people. The difference being how much they can have a character orgasmically moan, seemingly. Also, when you damage magic train engines, that makes them work much better, and stops the brakes from working. Okay, I guess we're running with that. One little scratch and you're driving an unstoppable gigantic juggernaut unless there's someone on hand to moan at it. Are we really sure this world doesn't need to be purged? |
| The magic system looks cool, but I don't understand shit wtf is happening. |

| @RayReynolds Last week, it was a mortal sin to use her power at all. This week, use it to save a couple dozen people. The difference being how much they can have a character orgasmically moan, seemingly. Also, when you damage magic train engines, that makes them work much better, and stops the brakes from working umm, that was mana transfer. menou never told akari to use her time magic, at all lol in order to stop the train, menou didnt have enough mana to utilize her spell properly so she asked some mana juices from akari remember when everytime kazuma (from KonoSuba) sucking megumin's mana? does that mean megumin's explosion magic gets activated at the same time everytime he does that? lol obviously not akari's time magic doesnt get activated just cuz menou sucking her mana whats wrong with akari moaning? she's been expecting romantic events to happen between her and menou since episode 1, its not out of character for her to joke around like that the train magic is relying on "ether", every magecraft is relying on these particles called "ether". its explained in EP 2 even the lost ones are relying on "ether" to invoke their pure concepts so if the lost ones who are relying on "ether" could run out control after getting their asses beaten, why would the train thats also relying on "ether" couldnt run out of control after getting damaged? both of em are merely "tools" that are relying on "ether" so its all "ether" fault? lol also, wdym by a random fight? the princess had all the reasons to attack momo, her daddy (the king) was in trouble thx to "the infamous" executioners from the church. or myb the princess just wanted to fight momo for the sake of fighting her lol or it could be both too, the princess originally just wanted to avenge his daddy but since she found out that momo was a strong and beautiful loli, she's started to like her. the princess says "I like things strong and beautiful" |

| I really like Menou a lot. She's a badass but like...her smile is contagious. I like the approach they took with a potential timeline scenario. Like they could have been like "Okay Akari is winding back time again" but considering Menou is the main POV in this anime it wouldn't make sense. I just think the concept of alternate timelines is cool and didn't think about it at all. Ashuna is bad. Hot as hell and a badass bitch lol. I'm digging her a lot. |

| So does she know she can control time since i am assuming the died and she went back? |
 |
| The train of fate, with terrorists, executioners Menou and Momo, Akari and Princess Knight Ashuna Grisarika, the target is the obvious one to grudge with the Executioners of the Faust for the otherworlders putting her father on trial for heresy. The red gem which converges as a solitary tool to summon a red knight, and the princess vs. exeuctioner, and Akari has to interrupt with her Pure Concept of Time power at the most intricate timing possible. And since this train has been spawn out of control with Ether gushing out, only Menou can stop this runaway train with Akari's borrowed ether. This is impressive stuff going down. |
 |
| [quote=Strykeryno message=66152610] Shicl said: Now the real question is: Does she lose her memories, if she dies or she's just playing all this time and hiding something? Or maybe she does remember, but simply doesn't remember Menou killing her, since it's very possible that Menou knocked her out with that drop and she didn't see her. |
| The episode was pretty good. JC Staff is still somewhat stiff in the battle scenes but at least the characters didn't look bad, at least not that I saw. Ashuna and Momo's chimestry looks good, time to ship them XD. Funny how Menou said at the beggining that Akari coudldn't protect her and then needing her to stop the train, and the mana transfer with the moans was funny ngl. My guess is with Akari's power to turn back time, she stayed in the train wagon as Menou said originally, but after failing to stop the train she turned back time to save her dear Menou-chan and that's why she went to the wagon where Menou was. |
| So beside invoke the ether, you can also hack the ether resource from the enemy if you had enough power to overwhelmed it? Also you can share each other ether by connecting it through direct contact, and sure Akari seems enjoyed the moment. Interesting ... And don't forget Momo and Princess Knight that fighting each other till the dawn. Nice xd. Wow poor bandits, get rekt by the little sadist girl, beautiful blonde priestess, and rambunctious princess knight. How on earth they were so one dimentional? Its no less to once again showed how Akari time machine works out. Now its been more obvious that Akari did the change, out of her consciousness, not the opposite. Maybe she's doin that more than once, actually, judging by how she's saying 'anymore' and that those 'disturbing' feelings, kinda already done before. I dunno. I wonder if there's some Akari pov alone beside what the story telling has been done till this episode? Still pretty invested so far, and lets see the ancient salt capital, Garm, on the next episode ... |

So, how did she make the change??? I have the same doubt. In the last episode Menou said that Akari can't remember anything when she uses her power but if Akari is aware of her power like in this episode maybe she can carry some of her memories. I really hope that someone could explain us this cause I don't understand it at all It'll be revealed in next one or two episodes. |
| Menou is really nice this episode, just beat up the terrorists instead of killing them. Sadly, they are a suicide group who sacrificed themselves to form a monster. my respect for Menou has increased because she spent effort saving the drivers, and other passengers in the train, risked her life in the process as well. when Menou connected to Akari.. instead of feeling pain, looks like Akari was actually feeling good from it. LOL Momo is brutal with sawing someone's head off. >< looking forward to next week! :) I'm now satisfied. Gonna buy some things from CDJapan to give a little support to this anime. |
James_Marsh said: SoulBroMo said: I didn't like this episode, why is menou protecting akari? you'd think putting her in dangerous life threatening situations would be advantageous right? and the fights, what happened there? Mentioned last episode when Momo suggested poisoning; if Akari resets from death her powers get stronger. Also, she was worried about the red knight "absorbing" Akari, which presumably could give it her ether reserves and/or time powers. lol some people apparently didnt even make an attempt to watch the episode |
| Akari-chan, don't just strip out of nowhere. (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑) Nice episode, it lived up to my expectations. Love it. I like the way Momo is depicted here, it's well done. She's really badass~ |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |

| i really wonder if Menou would be able to end Akari's life because just look both of them are having a supportive journey like adventure...Momo on the other hand is like a perfect match-up against Princess Ashuna! also If Akari's power matures or the got full control of it (if ever) and then that's gonna be Menou main nightmare! lolz 4/5. |

| What is with score with this series? Is it really that bad series and I'm just so biased toward this series that I don't see it? |

The score hold its positions on 7, which literally means 'Good'. Why the heck you call it bad? You may need to learn more about how the score on mal defined before spitting nonsense. |
