| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Dat opening. Shit goes down with the explosions and soundtrack. A nice relaxing episode actually with rowing the boat in the river and painting. The soundtrack of this episode/series is probably one of my favorites now given the OST. The night scenes were also well visually depicted and so was that mystical creature: Nice episode. |
 |
| I wonder what name the fansub would give to that creature. Will they just call it MINOSHIROMODOKI ? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| That creature design is indeed unique.. and original |

| Also, on this episode, all I have to say is this: Oh snap. |
| Nothing like a relaxing boat ride at night with the stars and a girl. Dat creature... |
 |
Elite60 said: Dat creature... Don't you mean... |
| Wow the next episode, their bloody past gonna be revealed, can't wait to see what was happened ... And, Saki x Shun ... a little nice there, since this show focuses too much on mystery, thriller stuff, at least it's refreshing to see some romance involved. Good episode, so that creature is the evolved computer ... hmm sounds interesting. |
Shoujo_Q said: Elite60 said: Dat creature... Don't you mean... This It seems more like a robot somehow this episode was a bit slow and nothing really happened except that i can see they've shown some love interests here and there and still no OP?? |
| Nothing happened but for some reason this episode went by really quick for me, it seems a lot of things will be finally explained next ep |
| Things are finally starting to get interesting. I wonder what they will learn? |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| So why are they even there? I completely forgot how that thing even showed up. I should start paying more attention. I at least know the basics of what's happening. |
Entravity said: Things are finally starting to get interesting. I wonder what they will learn? Probably the truth...and then it will be time for them to disappear... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| I love how this show is extremely slow paced but not boring at all. Frankly, I think it's one of the best this season which is filled with a bunch of action shows. Finally they're getting to the actual plot of the show, but that setup was really well done. I'm extremely excited for the next ep!! Aww that ShunxSaki moment was adorable |
 |
| Looks like we're getting somewhere. Library in an Organic creature/computer. The question they will ask seems to be about the "Fiends" and it will be stuff they don't want to hear as Mamoru gets on his knees with his hands plugging them. |

| Seems like the build up will amount to something next episode, i wonder what the consequences of them learning such info will be though. |
 |
| Ohhhh story developing :) The ED song is too freaking good. |
| Looks like its finally getting somewhere, cool. Bio computer, interesting, hopefully we'll get some more insight next episode. Music didn't really suite me this episode, just didn't fit very well IMO. And am I the only one that find Shun an incredibly boring character? The subs I saw kept calling their psychic powers "The force", weirded me out a little lol. |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |
| Woooo! This does not fail to amaze me. Next episode is the truth. Finally! The origin of cantus and the creatures in their world. Can't wait! You guys should watch the UTW subs not the other one. |
| Good episode. I like how every time we have a different opening theme related to the past, which I think is important for the plot later.And DAT music!!! Next episode, we are going to find the truth or at least what happend that made the world be as it is now. Can't wait :D |
| The begging of the reason behind getting exiled? Hmm. Interesting! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Oh geez getting to close to the truth never ends well.. |
 |
| Only one thing to say. Shit's about to get real. |
| This anime is so fascinating. I find myself wanting to know more and more about that world. Nice intro scene, non-psychic humans fighting back apparently A little side-note: Fansubs should try to coincide with one name for the psychic powers the kids have. Gravity, Cantus, the Force (lol)... which one is the most accurate, if any? Anyway, funny group to watch. And that minoshiro/library... the plot thickens. |
on 
| Ohoho. A creature with a memory of 890 petabytes? That is freakin huge! It is interesting that they finally encountered a creature. Reminds me so much of Mushishi. |

| AHHHHH!!! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! Just when it got to the good part!!!! Can't freaking wait till next episode!!! F*CK!!! |

| Creepy village leaders, missing children, mysterious animals...and now they're beginning to get closer to the truth. This is not gonna end well, I'm sure of that much :) 5/5 I like how the librarians in the future are retarded unicorn-lions xD BatoKusanagi said: A little side-note: Fansubs should try to coincide with one name for the psychic powers the kids have.

And that minoshiro/library... the plot thickens. aidoru was the only subs out when I watched this ep, and I was like "the Force, wait what, hold on a minute, was that what it was always called?" xD I vote for Cantus, sounds the most badass and eerie |
rodac said: Entravity said: Things are finally starting to get interesting. I wonder what they will learn? Probably the truth...and then it will be time for them to disappear... "Anyone who encounters a Devil's Minoshiro dies soon afterwards." Good episode, I really liked all the strange creatures and the little story of this world. I really like the interaction between the kids. We'll learn more about the world next week. I can't wait. |
onedaysnotice said: aidoru was the only subs out when I watched this ep, and I was like "the Force, wait what, hold on a minute, was that what it was always called?" xD I vote for Cantus, sounds the most badass and eerie Yeah, I had the same reaction. it's been like this ep 1 (gravity), ep 2 (cantus), ep 3 (the force), maybe they'll call it ninjutsu by ep 4 lol I agree, cantus seems the most fitting name. |
| The sakuga animation used for the intro was beautiful. Did the assassination of the emperor lead to the end of this era or were the assassin's efforts in vain? Once again it's Shun who encourages a member of his group to do something against the rules set up by their community. |
 |
| So, what going on here? the plot not to clear as of yet. |
SarahBillyBoy said: and still no OP?? The OP sequence is probably a massive spoiler for what happens in the next couple of episodes, so that's probably why they left it out as yet. -MgZ_ said: You guys should watch the UTW subs not the other one. UTW subs are fine, except for one glaring error: "Cantus" is not a valid translation of "Juryoku". |
Shoujo_Q said: UTW subs are fine, except for one glaring error: "Cantus" is not a valid translation of "Juryoku". Yeah, I was really confused during the second episode, it probably sounds good, but I really couldn't picture what it was supposed to mean and since it wasn't the Japanese term used, I really don't know why they translated it like that. The Force is my favorite. |
| Well, it seems like we're about to get to the thick of the plot. I'm actually amazed with how little plot they've managed to keep this interesting so far. At first that was one of my biggest worries but they've really expanded on the world well. |
| Ara ara. |
| The flashback proved that ninjas are indeed the best solution when fighting against tyrannical physic overlords. |

| This soundtrack, this is amazing. Holy shit, so that false minoshiro was created by humans and is actually a storage device. Also, the dates we got this time and the things we saw in this episode don't match up with what I initially thought about the calculation of times. |

That's because you must have watched Hadena's Ep 1 (which was horribly, horribly bad; it is Hadena, after all), UTW's Ep 2 (who have always used the inexplicable translation "Cantus") and then Aidoru's Ep 3 (who have always used "the Force"). onedaysnotice said: I vote for Cantus, sounds the most badass and eerie Except "Cantus" actually has a meaning: The highest voice in a vocal ensemble. Juryoku means, literally, "Mystical Force". Therefore, translations that keep close to this are the best.

Yeah, I was really confused during the second episode, it probably sounds good, but I really couldn't picture what it was supposed to mean and since it wasn't the Japanese term used, I really don't know why they translated it like that. Apparently, they based their use of the word "Cantus" on the word "Incantation", with the intent of changing the word somewhat... they just (clearly) failed to realise that "Cantus" actually does have a meaning, one completely unrelated to "Juryoku". SetsukoHara said: The Force is my favorite. Thanks. |
| I was expecting some information in this ep, looks like I have to wait until next week... But on the bright side, I still love this anime. And next episode is really going to be interesting. |
| ／人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人＼ Make a contract with me... ／人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人＼ |
| Nice episode with all the canoeing and creatures research and ... OUCH a cliffhanger Next ep should be really interesting |
| Information and real shit (action) will some in the next episode. |

 Great camping trip with lots of good Satoru, and even Shun moments. (Music during a montage is probably one of the best songs in this anime) Cast chemistry is really well done. Specifically teamwork based magicks has many great applications in just this trip that I liked especially all involved in catching stuff (and how they focus on their eyes when they do it). The evil minoshiro plot is interesting and really liked that scene, just Saki's confidence in challenging it. Cant wait for revelations next episode I guess. To think that there is still technology left in this world, thousand years later. Just to what extent is this Education Board hiding and shielding from the normal peoples |

| Of all the Fall anime I've seen so far I would say this is the best. |
| The Art of Eight |
| What a great episode. The visuals and the music were amazing as well. ;_; Right when it was getting really good too, guess we'll have have to wait till next week. |

InfiniteDestiny said: i wonder what the consequences of them learning such info will be though. It's stated in the Synopsis of the anime, which I regretted reading it, twice.(First was before watching the anime, which I had actually forgotten about it when I started watching. But then I read it again after this episode...) |
 |
| This show just keeps impressing more and more by each episode. So that creature is like a computer uh? o_O |
