Finally, Kyousuke explain a lot and help me understand a lot, if not everything.

I'm worried about the end because the real and tragic reality awaits them.

A good summary for what's been going on till now and reveal of the bus accident which was kind of obvious

For Kyousuke creating a dream world felt like an Angel Beats deja vu which feels like a sham to me (Train -> Bus)
He did succeed in creating unlike Madara so far
I admire his tenacious struggle to protect Riki and Rin and his choice to select girls to entice them

The protection wears off next

Hmm I might have missed it but how did Kyousuke gain the power to create that world?

i knew that bus accident had something to do with what's going on when they first mentioned it..

so MC and rin chick were the only survivors and 6/20 was last day they can do stuff before school trip (big hint there which totally went over my head)

then this dude somehow got some kind of magic to turn back time over and over or make MC repeat the same shit by making him passout to overcome emo stuff instead of funning away all the time

so he can help himself and rin overcome this bus crash where everyone died so they they don't go full retard or kill themselves.

or some shit like that..

Ohhhhhh...... I... think I get it... And it's just way too sad :'(
I didn't cry during the whole serie, but in this episode, I lost it. It was just too hard to hear Kyousuke story while figuring out all he did and all the hatred he assumed for their sake...

Well, I won't say much, but I'm pretty sure my spoiler tag in my last post was right... Hey! I was right for once! :D
But it's no time to be happy. I'm pretty sure that Riki and Rin will be plunge in despair right in the next episode.

We got to see the story from Kyousuke point of view. A story of suffering and ''betrayal''. Now, he's buying them some times, again.

I don't know how this will end, but I can't see a happy ending for sure... Proably a bittersweet ending for the best.

Damn, I knew Kyousuke wasn't some villian. This episode explained a lot of things. I'm not confused anymore! So there was a accident during the feild trip. In the process Kurugaya, Mio, Haruka, Kud were all killed. Kyousuke seems to be in his last few minutes. I'm not sure about Kengo and Masato. I think they died in the accident too. So that's what Kyousuke meant. He wanted Riki and Rin to be able to face that. Kyousuke you are awesome! Although I don;t get how Kyousuke was able to make another world to get Riki and Rin ready for that. Look like that world will be over in the next episode. Let's see how this goes!

Another epic episode. Even if I had expected the secret of the world, but the way it was explained was really really really good and interesting. :>

They did well to explain everything. Something terrible happened so another world was made and looped to make Riki and Rin strong enough to deal with reality.

Looks like time is running out. The girls are gone, Kyousuke is surely dying, gas is leaking.

Soon nobody is oging to make it.

OMFG everything makes sense. So everyone except Riki and RIn are dead from a crash. Im guessing Riki and Rin couldn't handle the trauma and just like gave up on life and died with them. I think that bus is gonna explode or some shyt so Kyousuke with his final moments decides to drag his body to it and like patch i up so the newly matured Riki and Rin (with exp from the fake world) can handle the trauma and survive. This is my guess and dam it will be sad if it turns out everyone indeed died in a horribly bus crash(im guessing this has something to do with the class trip?).

Another perfect episode. I couldn't stop watching these past few eps, but this was another amazing episode. Kyosuke explained a lot this episode. Him crawling though :(. Riki holding his hand out to Kyosuke was nice as well.

Really good episode. Seems Kyousuke created the entire series just to help Riki and Rin grow up.

It was actually pretty emotional seeing Kyousuke struggle so much.

Very nice episode, a lot of things were coming togethe.

Kyousukes monologue had me really captivated and the way the little flashbacks were put in was also well done.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Pretty much a flashback episode with Kyousuke's commentary. I still don't like him because I still don't understand why he did what he did. Also can he really turn back time or was that just a metaphor? Confusing.

Great explanations! Kyousuke is clearly the one that suffered the most I guess, so if I understand well he "re-created" this world to avoid both Riki and Rin's death in a bus accident, and all the other characters are here and used to change their fate, Kyousuke is so good wow, but I have still some points that I don't understand much especially if the other girls are alive or not since they're disappearing because Kyousuke is losing his powers to create this world and Kud for example remembered the whole situation and knows about it, they'll probably give more info in the next episodes so I'm very hyped

in terms of visual direction, it was awesome. It was consistently pleasing to look at regardless of whether the segment is something we've seen before

I don't like kyosuke much and I can't say I'm a fan of this episode but it was fine it it's own way

Damn Kyousuke thinking back and reminding these harsh memories and explaining how things work

Even if it's flashbacks it's still a sad experience even for Kyousuke to witness and make these events happen and the background music really makes it more depressing

Now it's building up to the last 3 episodes I wonder how it all turns out in the end.

Kyousuke reminds me of Natsuki Subaru but better. More of less. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

So the main character is Kyousuke, while the rest are supporting characters, I suppose. >_>

So that's why I hate Riki. Kyousuke is the hidden main deal here!

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.
