Also kindddd of off topic but:

I noticed how many albinos I'm eventually going to end up having on my favorite character's list. Sheesh, what's up with all these white-haired bishes nowadays? We've got them in so many animes: that one guy (bad with names xD) from K with the umbrella, Nai from Karnival, Shion from No. 6, Near from Death Note, Akise from Mirai Niki, Allen Walker from D Gray Man...and the LIST GOES ON!

How am I supposed to explain to my friends this list? lol 1/2 of them just so happen to be albinos...nothing to see here...carry on xD Yeah I'm losing my friends.
haha, i'm laughing right now because i was thinking the exact same thing a few days ago :D "why do i like all these white-haired characters? why?" so don't worry, you're not alone with that :3

Gosh this episode made me cry. That was so freaking sad! I was hoping Yotaka, Tsubame and Gareki would all go and live together with Nai and the Circus...

Finally, a half-decent episode! Admittedly, it was pretty cliche but the emotion during Yotaka's death was definitely there and I felt a twinge of sadness for the twins. Great voice acting and great direction there.

Still, I don't know if it's just me or what, but having never read the manga, I feel like this series lacks coherency or a sense of direction. I still feel like we're jumping from one random, unrelated event to the next. I still have no idea who the main antagonist is here, even though I know there is one. That Varuga guy from this episode seemed to show up out of nowhere, and I feel like we'll be seeing him again but I felt that way about other characters in earlier episodes and nothing has related back to them yet (i.e. the old dude in the train in the first episode).

The only reason I'm still watching this is Gareki.

I liked... whoever that man is. Is Varuga his name? Well, I liked him until he sprouted antennae. That isn't hot.

Nai continues to be an idiot. A cute idiot, but an idiot all the same.

Gareki is so tsundere...

Yogi suddenly reminds me of Garry from Ib. It's the hair, and the roses, and the clothes.
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak.

Awesome fight between Yogi and Yotaka!
But Yotaka and his super cool wings and long dark hair knocked Yogi out of the sky!

Nai has a way with the ladies; proof shown in this episode with Tsubame.

Gareki's FALCON KICK to the face of the drug-researcher-who-kills-girlfriends-and-experiments-on-girlfriend's-twin-siblings was awesome!

This Varuga-dude is less creepier than his fellow Varuga, but still creepy.

Noo, Yotaka!!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Dat ending song really cuts the serious atmosphere.


This.
I nearly cried to the part wherein Yotaka begged Gareki to kill him, then suddenly a spear hit him from the sky.
Then dat ending song ruined it.

really feel so sorry for Yotaka :(( it totally isnt fair.. and they all Yotaka, Gareki and Tsubame were missunderstood :/

but gareki really shouldn't do that leaving them without explanation and he knew that medicine was weird so reason more to be stuck with them and keep an eye on their actions...

but really Hiroto is cruel.

and about those watchers who felt bored at first half of episode.. O.o mfg kids do you even have heart? do you understand any of those feeelings.. I really pity such cruel idiots who watch this anime without understanding of story and characters and their life and emotions.

LMAO
Thought this too.
That's ok, I like the ED a lot.

I would've preferred it if Gareki had killed Yotaka. It would've added more emotional conflict in his character.
Okay episode. I hate Tsubame... her voice gives me goosebumps.

That was quite an emotional encounter. Poor Gareki and Tsubame had to witness Yotaka get taken from them. Pretty sad tbh. Not a bad ep, but not great either. Fight scenes were done well, and the added emotional factor put more weight on the situation.

Highlight: Yogi and Yotaka's brief fight
Ep Score: 3/5
