| That was really good. I hope he's okay. |
 |
| new stage. new monstwrs. new kabu |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| But it suppose to happen in 7th episode...;_;7 |
 |
| Noo... Not Captain Kabu 😭 |
 |
| Action-packed episode. Changed the storyline resulted in some twisted story that nobody knows about. |
 |
| I wouldn't surprise if this anime is considered an "underrated cult series" in a few years |
| This anime has too much pointless action. It's really being held back by it being 12 episode series. If it was 24 episode we probably would have had more build up and weight behind it all. |
| Some moments of really good animation this episode. Even sakuga for a few seconds here and there. Well, in the first half of the episode anyway |

| That's so sad... What's going to happen to Kaburagi. Natsume is gonna be lonely, and what about pipe's feelings? |
 Kyoto Animation rocks |
VanishingKira said: In a way this ep felt reminiscent of TTGL after they defeat idk if I'm the only one that thought so. For sure. Plenty of TTGL parallels. The ending of this episode sure threw me for a loop. Honestly expected that one sister to die. Surprised she's still alive. RIP Kaburagi's avatar. |
| What a fantastic episode. There was some great action scenes here, and it felt so satisfying when the Deca-Dence punched the Stargate. I honestly don't mind the CG as it doesn't look too out of place. It's no HnK or Beastars but hey that's an exception, not the rule, unfortunately. This goes for the whole show so far but I love Natsume's design and facial expressions. She's a great character and I hope the things she's going through serve as a good arc for her. The animation is pretty well done too, but I'm not surprised considering some of the staff from Mob Psycho 100 are on board. This has been a really refreshingly creative anime and I'm really excited to see where it goes next, I really hope it doesn't shit the bed at some point. I think what I'm loving the most is the quick pace, and it doesn't waste time on fluff and filler like it would if this was a shonen. I mean, damn, all that happened and we're only on episode 5! One last thing I wanted to point out is I love how dark this show is when you think about it. These people are suffering and fighting for their lives and the preservation of their race, while the robots are just having fun playing a game and it's like they don't even care about the human's suffering. The juxtaposition of their reactions to situations, especially at the end when the force field dropped and they saw the "real" world, was really interesting. The humans were all terrified while the Gears were like "oh boy, another level!". I love stuff like this. We need more of it in the future. |

| Felt like the last episode, now I'm curious to see how she will survive without her mentor. I'm hoping he is still alive though. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I can’t imagine Kaburagi is dead for good this early on, so I’m curious how convincing they’ll make his survival. After all, Mikey got obliterated for far less. |
| he is dead !! okay it would be interesting to see how they are going to make the show dynamic makes sense after that . |
 |
| Natsume was evil in this episode. She recklessly fought causing one of her companions to almost die cuz her. How fantastic the battle would have been if the anime wouldn't have told me about having more battles after the 'final battle'. Honestly, the last two episodes were very tedious to watch, I hope it can recover later. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Some major events happening this episode with Kabu changing the 'storyline of the game', getting his avatar killed (still think he survives in AI form), and Natsume with the rest of the tankers discovering this wasn't the end of the Gadol. Really liked the great Sakuga quality animation in the fight. |
 |
| one of the best episodes so far, great action and some people actually died, reminded me of shingeki no kyojin again. I expected something to happen, a "hero" like some character said prior to this episode, kabu defeats the giant gadoll and now the scenario is changed. I really don't know what to expect, I don't think kabu is dead though, that last scene was superbly done, "bugs are needed", then crazy crow, then he's shot. |
    |
| Oh heck. Kaburagi dead!? I don't wanna believe that. He has to have some backup plan, right? I'm beginning to doubt humans will be able to get away from this, but still hoping for it. |
 |
| Possibly RIP Kaburagi. He really was a really cool character. Bugs will save the world! |
 |
| I'm glad I found this wonderful series. Kabu that gave many things to the system just got terminated just because of a single disobedience. That system is overwhelming. Especially for an A.I.. Now I do wonder what will happen to Kabu... |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| This was fucked. Obviously taking out the supposed nest won't mean shit, but shit's now gone up a bunch of levels as well. The reactions at the end were so priceless lmao |
 |
| That was quite a twist with Kaburagi tbh |
| Overall this was a good episode and I am excited for where this is going, but I do think the Alpha seemed a bit underpowered. It would have been nice if Kabu (even with his limiter off) took a bit longer to take it out. As it stands, I am not sure why a few S-rankers working together wouldn't have been able to beat it (which must have been the plan for the storyline to work). |
 |
| RIP I guess....lol |
 |
| What an episode! The animation, the fluidity, the fight! It is sad to see that Boss had to die due to the not obeying orders. It seems that the reason he didn't want Natsume to die is because she reminds him alot of the former ranker who died by "cheating" (removing his limiter). And as we go through the episodes, the setting of the world is getting weirder and weirder. It seems that these robots occupied the earth and changed it to make it into a type of game allowing for entertainment. This could be clearly shown by the difference in reactions of the gears and the tankers. I wonder if there are a set number of stages which once passed will grant the humans freedom. |
| A nice ep with an amazing fight. Everytime Deca Dence fires it looks amazing |
 |
| Who knew that they had to follow the storyline of Deca Dence. Kaburagi risked his life over the bug and altered rhe storyline after eliminating the gadoll and admitted to it in the end so he has to accept punishment. This is turning out to be an interesting watch, I wasn't sure what was going on but this episode confirmed it. The 'bugs' are dysfunctional existences in Deca Dence that alter the game world's timeline. Very good story so far and characters are growing on me the more they are deveiped |
| Well, saw that happening. Didn't get too many answers here, but the Gears sure as hell did. |
