| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was a very rough encounter for Juri but at least she survives. A pretty thrilling episode as I had expected again. The supernatural powers that can really make a difference between life and death. I actually feel bad for the uncle at this point since he is still feeling despair after what he's been through. |
 |
| That was a very nice episode the cliffhanger keeps me wondering about what will happen next. Yuri got a new power and a powerful one from the looks of it. It's also seems the one pulling the strings with the enemy liked to sacrifice people in order to experiment with the powers they got. |
| So...''The Herald'' gets smaller everytime it gets rid of someone. Does that mean that eventually you'll be able to harm ''The Stalled'' without repercussion? The jellyfish was about to go out of Tsubasa's body for a moment, that's interesting, what did he think in that situation? THAT CLIFFHANGER WUT?! |
| I still cant get used to the horribly bad opening |
| So Juri has the ability to manually stop people and turn them into Stasis. The time-stop game just got more interesting. I like to think there are more "Heralds" out there than just the one that is shrinking. There has to be something to maintain balance for the Stasis, and I speculate that people and sacrifice are forcibly involved with the creation of "Heralds". |
 |
| Lacking in terms of character, but nevertheless very entertaining. |

| Insert edgy quote |
| Another interesting epd. What's the trick behind Gramps teleport? He just thinks about a place he would rather be, looks at it, and he is there lol. Great cliffhanger. Btw the OP is also great to me. |
| Spoiler for the preview, I know I sometimes avoid these so thought best to put it in a box. OP's OK, it's the ED I find weird. Seems like it's for a totally different genre of show. Would fit a yuri show nicely. |

| Juri gets the byakugan and expels the specters, the herald uses up energy with no replenishment. The kid is awake too, brutal cliffhanger. |
 |
| well juri was assaulted real bad...well that was bad huh... the small kid seems cheerful though |
 |
| Another interesting episode with another surprising and dramatic cliffhanger: frankly, it would be a far more clever strategy for these guys to act like the Stalled until they can get the kill, as you would never see it coming. Other than that, I wonder how much longer Tsubasa and Makoto can continue to avoid trouble, as it's surely only a matter of time until they run into one of the guys who wants them dead. |
| uhh... that cliffhanger tho? Here's hoping that this series at least becomes more intriguing later, because rn its just a game of cat and mouse between the Yukawa family and the "bad guys" |

| *Insert JoJo meme* to be continued |
| So Juri entered a state where she can forcibly remove the jellyfish, called Specters. And Makoto woke up like I figured. That scene was cute, well as cute as this series can get anyway. Turns out we didn't get more flashbacks though, not really anyway. Why do I get the feeling whatever "deal" is offered to the dad will come back to bit them in the ass? Second episode in a row where we end on a Juri being killed cliffhanger and it's still obviously a fakeout. I figured that guy was only pretending to be frozen just by his design, as soon as I saw him. Unfortunately the preview seemed to potentially spoil Makoto getting killed next episode though, hope that's just misleading because it would be a huge downer. But we'll see. |
| So Juri awakened a power that allows her to turn a person into one of the Stalled. That could be pretty useful down the line. Looks like Makoto finally woke up but him running around like this might get him and Tsubasa in trouble. That behavior is expected from a kid his age, but if he isn't careful he and Tsubasa will run into the wrong people eventually. I had a bad feeling about the sunglasses dude and it looks like I was right. That's a pretty good tactic, pretending to be one of the Stalled so he could blindside Juri. It ended the episode on a cliffhanger worthy of the "To be continued" Jojo meme, but it's clearly a fakeout since Juri looks fine in the preview. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

| The cliffhanger lol |
 |
| Makoto sounds like the kind of kid who could create a mess into the still world if he was really left loose. But so far he's more quick and reasonable than his ungle. There were some signs the time jellifish into Tsubasa was unstable and could leave. |

The kid is awake too, brutal cliffhanger. This how I reckon how Juri is saved. Either by her brother or nephew (or maybe even her sister who we haven't seen for a while). Both Juri and her grandfather have powers so I bet the rest do. |
| So those jellyfish are called Specters and they help people move around in Stasis. Without it, you'll become a Stalled. Very cool. Got to learn more about The Herald. It's slowly heading towards its limit. Makoto finally woke up after a Specter went inside him and started playing around. That cliffhanger though... |
 |
| Hyuuga clan Byakugan powers confirmed. |
~my list
| Juri can kick people out of stasis... it seems she can control that power. I wonder if the specters are attracted to that family, or if it just went where someone was out-of-place. Weird feeling of déjà vu with that tree thing "shrinking"... I feel like I've seen something like this before. |
  |
| Yeah, Juri got the power, interesting how the especter was taken from someone bad to get in a innocent boy. So the Herald slowly fades away everytime he gets rid of someone? The gang clearly will use it in them favor and Oji-chan, LET HER FIGHT, SHE GOT THE FREAKING POWER! The OP is out of any pattern that i saw in this media that i love called anime, both musically and visually, i love it. |
  |
| This show and fucking cliffhanger endings!!!! Another really good episode!! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Finding a bit of an inconsistency with the tone of the show but it's somewhat enjoyable nonetheless. Nice to see a shut-in character that isn't completely selfish. |
| *Insert Roundabout* That cliffhanger tho. I'll like to know how these "spectres" works, but we get some dull "explanation" each time things are presented (Like the grandpa saying that it just works, what is this? King Crimson? lol). |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| For some reason, I can't get into this show. The story should be something that interests me, but all it gets is a meh from me. I feel like something is lacking, for me to really get into it. I'm loving the OP and ED tho |
 |
| I'm loving the show so far, the story keeps getting and better every episode |

Maybe it's because none of the characters could catch my attention at all. |

| Juri has unleashed the power/limit break! LOLZ! She now has the power to expel the Specter making them kicked-out of the Statis world! cool power! Midousuji knows a lot! very fishy! LOLZ! looks like the executioner got executed by a Herald instead! how Karma-ish! Makoto awakes and is easily adapting to the Stasis world! DAMN cliffhanger! 5/5. |
 |
| It seems when the jellyfish quit a body, it go directly in a stas of a yukawa family members. It went to the brother and now to the nephew. The antagonist also said about Yukawa lineage... |
| Show is obsessed with cliffhangers. |
| Why am I having a feeling that throughout the show they will be in Stasis? Jeez. Good episode, though. Nice, Juri, got a power to remove a person in Stasis their "jellyfish" in their body and be one of the Stalled. Hahaha. So weird with the jellyfish, idk what to call those. Glad Makoto and Tsubasa-san are safe. I hope they'll be safe, they're the bringer of light in this show's theme. Haha. Ki o tsukete! So fucking happy that the OP is finally available on iTunes, now I can play it as much as I want to! :) I wonder if that Herald will turn into a human being once it gets smaller. Haha. So curious with it. Gaaah. So many possible things to do while in Stasis, I'm so fucking jealous with these folks. Haha. 5/5. :D |

Off-tangent remark. I like the fight scenes, but I know this show has nothing to do with brawls. In particular how the hired muscle tried to approach their prey meekly and then surround them, or how one bright spark got the idea to lay an ambush by pretending to be affected by stasis. I don't even understand how someone can score an episode 3/5 based solely off a fight taking up less than a minute of the show and has nothing to do with the show genres. In any case, natural fights between the untrained are supposed to be quick, frustrating, clumsy and irratic (unless it's a shounen fight show), it's not a Bruce Lee or samurai Flick... |
