For once, I actually enjoyed a Phantom world episode. I was getting tired of the ridiculous fanservice. I mean seeing Mai smile like she did, or seeing Izumi blush are what make KyoAni anime a KyoAni anime. It's the signature that makes them what they are all about.

Mai said that she won't allow a girl to be put in danger.


Neither. Sensei explained that Ichijou has this rare ability to access this bla bla bla server that connects to memories.

I am not going to rationalize how the collision of the heads activated the power because it's a fantasy anime and I fully expect it to remain fantastical.
I think Aversa simply formulated his question wrong, cause it was only after Mai had already chosen her partner that Ichijou brought up the memory transfer thingy.

Why did she not touch herself in the first fight to get that earth stuff going? Seems like she would've won that way and then we didn't need the memory bullshit

I really like intros of this anime. In this episode it was about blue screen. I wonder what else they plan to put there.
The episode was okay, even if predictable.
That special move from the movie was silly.

So far, this is the best episode of the series.

It was amusing to find out how much of a bully Mai was back when she was young, and as didn't realise it herself back then either. =D

Poor Reina was full of jealousy though, seeing Mai and Ichijou training together while she had to watch them from the distance. I guess she just wanted Mai-senpai's attention on her more often. =P

Ichijou did good in this episode too, helping out Mai when the two phantoms gave her a hard time. Impressive as it is to see him with Mai's fighting skills, but his stamina didn't get the same buff. Seeing him collapse on the floor with exhaustion was hilarious!

I know that the fanservice was toned down compared to the first two episodes, but I don't mind at all since it gave us more time to focus on Mai's past as well as the action of the whole episode. I wouldn't mind more of these episodes to be honest. =D

Reina being jelly on Haruhiko and Mai's "date", I smell YuriBait on this one, KyoAni never change, other than that I think it's a good episode, we get to know a bit about Mai in this ep, love those Chinese outfits especially on Reina, and also too much info on Mai in the last part like bruuuuhh

This episode was bad, really bad. I liked the first two episodes, but the whole idea of getting the memories of someone else like that was dumb. The teacher was like "Maybe there is a small and unlikely chance that memories could perhaps be passed from person to person. We don't know for sure because it was never done before so lets just try some random and totally common things and see if it works". Wow sensei you are so smart.

The fanservice in this one was pretty bad as well (aka not enough) and the action could have been good if this was the focus of this episode...which was not. It have would been nice to see Mai fighting those two head on until the end and win the fight (with help or not), but we just saw some bits of a fight here and there.

You say that.... and.... it works.

That doesn't mean there's a problem with the show, but there's a problem with you. The show can do whatever it wants as long as it follows its own rules. You don't even know the rules so complaining about anything makes no sense.

Also, for anyone dropping this show. Are you guys just skipping through the episode or something? Stop that. Just sit still and watch the entire episode from start to finish. If you still feel the same way then drop it please.

This episode actually had me laugh out loud twice. First when Haru konked out from fighting for 4 seconds. The second time when they did the move they saw in the movie. This show has only been entertaining since it came out.

Cute episode, the series remains light, but no matter. Narration nice and full of gags pleasant, I wonder if the theories are true Haruiko least a little, I was intrigued. The drawings and animations, are fabulous, the same special effects and set design. Not bad growth of the characters, who knows when it will enter in the cast the girl with pigtails.

No it was dumb as fuck. It worked just so they could finish everything. Have a date then hit your head hard, after that you are ready to share your memories. Sorry, but this was thrash.

That.......was an alright episode. Would have been better if they had focused on the fight tho. Didn't like that memory thing.
Looks like there is some character development in store for Reina. Wonder when that little one will make contact with them.

That was actually bad. Not enough thought had gone into the plot. There were too much 'fortunately's for this to stand as a believable story. This is the most shit episode from Kyoto since maybe some of the C2B Ren episodes. I like their style too much to contemplate a drop but this isn't shaping up well.

I feel I'm sounding like a grumpy git tho, complaining on every episode thread...

If the story continues like this, the series will not be famous like KyoAni previous works. It will be the ordinary anime. Except for Mai and her incredible oppai.

Fun episode. I think the action was really good honestly l, although the memory aspect was kinda silly. But that's probably the point.

Also that Reina pat scene at the end.. Way too cute.

Wow. What a turn-off. You know, at first I thought it was going to take its entire concept of phantoms and psychology seriously but wow did this episode have a whole lot of stupid. Not only did it underwhelm me by showcasing quite possibly my most favorite psychological concept of all time (memories) and turn me off so hard with another ridiculous bout connected to a pretty dull moral, but the writing quality fell through the floor really hard (In the fact that . The first episode was good, don't get me wrong. The second one was great, introducing possibly the best character in the show. This third one is a turn-off. Unless it becomes another Amagi Brilliant Park and gets a lot better, I'm keeping my expectations at the bar-minimum for now. I don't want another case of Kyoukai no Kanata, mind you.

As always, though, directing is top-notch, visual quality is consistent and the moe is as alive as ever (KyoAni finds a way). The choreography was questionable. Feels uninspired compared to the first episode.

Action was good but why make Reina jealous through out the whole episode? Unless she's in love with Mai which would be an interesting twist. But that ending seemed Ominous.

It's not a love triangle but a love line XD, but it's KyoAni, so that feeling of jealousy is probably not romantic but something else. Heck it might not even be targeted at Mai. We still don't know why Reina calls Mai onee-sama.

Nah I'd say Mai has some sort of feelings for Haruhiko. I just want more Minase!

Also Mahou Sensou was terrible, great comparison Nachikyo

It was an okay episode. Wouldn't say this is too interesting, but it's not sleep-inducing. Hope it somehow shifts gears, though.

3.5/5

I feel the exact opposite of this. Reina seems like a moe character without purpose other than ''yay, cute~", and I'm starting to dislike that voice.
