| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm interesting...Yellow Diamond gets more screen time this episode. As starnge as this show can get, I did kinda like the action especially in the second half. A cliffhanger though. I'm sure the next episode will follow up with events next time. |

| GREAT. I'm so curious about the next episode |
Rideontime said: GREAT. I'm so curious about the next episode Well, next episode will be great, because one of my favorite characters is coming in the next episode. Also here comes a Game of Thrones reference (Winter is Coming) |
| i really hope this show gets another season, unless im wrong, it feels like this serise can have much more content than only 6 more episodes can give, hopefully they get another season, dispite not many people talking about the show. |

| Sensei was very shocked when Phos said humans. He's clearly hiding something about them. She paired up with Amethyst to work as patrol. They're interesting twins. The patrol didn't go very well. Amethyst got shattered by the Lunarians. Bort is angry at Phos gain. |
 |
| Running around at the speed of sound~ Holy shit the final minutes, Phos wanted to show that she can help too but all she did was stay paralyzed in terror at the scene in front of her, I was as shocked as her during the whole scene. There is also Sensei reacting like that after Phos said humans, he's definitely hiding something. |
 |
| It's hard being the doc, spends all night repairing Phos then wakes up to Zircon needing her head reattached. Those twins were very impressive, and then all of a sudden that happened, I want them to be alright but I am fearing the worst. Phos got a hard dose of expectation VS reality in this episode. As expected of Sensei, he wiped the rest of them out easily. |

This show is one of the top airing anime in Japan and other Asian countries. It's also in a similar situation to Ajin: ranked among top 10 manga for male readers, got turned into a CGI anime, etc. As Ajin got 2 seasons, there is a pretty good chance this one will too. Ohh it's one of the top shows in Japan and other Asian countries?? I am so glad, so so glad. It deserves the top spot. It's disappointing it's so underrated in western countries at least in my opinion it's underrated here. I love the episode even though Phos got a power-up, Phos didn't become Op or stuff. I also liked to know about Zircon who is the 2nd youngest of the gems. I would love the anime to elaborate more on the memory loss due to losing their parts and the ''Human'' reaction from sensei. |
| This show gets better and better |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Jesus, this show gets more beautiful and fluid by the episodes i feel. That whole last sequence with Amethyst completely cracked in thousands of parts and Bort coming in was incredible. Sensei being angry and showing what he can do, holy shit. Also he knows something about the humans judging by his shocked reaction. |
Zesprit15 said: My one concern about a second season is that it is an ongoing manga. For someone who has read it, about how much has been covered so far in the six episodes that we have seen? We have covered up to Chapter 14. The manga is at Chapter 61. |
| I don't get the end. At first I was sad because it seemed like the Amethyst sisters (they seem like girls to me) got captured but then Bort came and I thought they were saved? But doesn't seem like it...? Why is Bort angry at poor Phos? Wtf did he except him to do? He's always telling him to stay back anyway. Also what is sensei? Is he a gem like them? Human (would have to be immortal then because seems like he's been around for a long time)? Something else? |

Human (would have to be immortal then because seems like he's been around for a long time)? Something else? Bortz is angry at Phos since she did not do anything in that situation. Rather, she was not able to do anything, not even running back to sensei to ask for help with her legs. Who sensei is will be revealed way later in the manga. Pray for Season 2. |
MrCarmichael said: I really hope so too, it's a pretty well-acclaimed manga so who knows? Maybe it happens.i really hope this show gets another season, unless im wrong, it feels like this serise can have much more content than only 6 more episodes can give, hopefully they get another season, dispite not many people talking about the show. |
let me ruin your childhood and tell you that the song actually goes "Rolling around at the speed of sound" |
| Those twins better live on, I fucking love twin characters and I will not accept the death of any. |
| It makes sense that even though her legs improved, her energy capacity may not have changed much so running and doing all of those tasks is taking a lot out of her. Inugirlz said: I don't get the end. At first I was sad because it seemed like the Amethyst sisters (they seem like girls to me) got captured but then Bort came and I thought they were saved? But doesn't seem like it...? I do believe they were saved. I saw some of the other Gem Girls picking up their pieces to put them back together. It's just that getting all of the pieces will take up a lot of their energy and time, in part because the blast may have sent some into the ocean, and then piecing them together will take up more energy and time too. Phos' lack of help made it all much more tense as well. She may not have had the physical energy or ability to help but in that case she should have let others know she was exhausted. |

| Excellent camera-work in respect to 3D animation. I'm never 'lost' visually in the array of colors this show has to offer - absolutely no disconnect. |

anirudhtsuki said: Confirmed they are males, they refer themselves in male pronoun and use male hounourfics. Is it because sensei is a monk. Then can monks can have gay partners but not female partners? I think about them as not genderless, but something like Turner's syndrome in humans, the "by default" gender is female as long as there is not Y chromosome, despite it, there are no males aside sensei, but sensei is sensei for them, I think male pronouns is a reminder of what is lasting from ancient language, only a "by default", but they doesn't even know what is a male |
| Another fantastic episode, and once again, Phos finds herself in the middle of something dangerous, unable to actually do anything. But at least she got an upgrade, so now she can do nothing at the speed of sound. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| This show is just a delight to watch. I nearly passed it over, but am glad that I changed my mind. Phos is such a fun trouble maker to look at, lol. Her antics so far were rather fun and amusing. Unfortunately, sometimes the hard dose of reality can be very difficult to swallow, as shown in this episode. Poor Phos, I feel sorry for her. Bort should stop being so mean, since this was her first battle anyway. What do you expect from someone who can't even properly lift a sword? Only thing she got is her new shiny legs with supah-speed. Maybe she should have paired up with Sanic teh Hedgehog, to learn the way of teh speed of sound, LOL (I'm just joking). |
| To be or not to be... that is not the question. ;3 |
anirudhtsuki said: Confirmed they are males, they refer themselves in male pronoun and use male hounourfics. Is it because sensei is a monk. Then can monks can have gay partners but not female partners? nope they are genderless. in japanese as far as i know, word like "boku", "ore", "watashi" etc are more to personal impression, be it more feminine or masculine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_pronouns on the other hand, english word have gender specific that cant really be used well on this kind of case like "he", "him", "she" or "her" thats why on the eng translation manga they were called as "he" just to make it easy. |

| This was a really beautiful and emotional episode. When Amethyst got pulled back and screamed "No!" I was all sorts of fucked up! Now what really sucks is that Phos was starting to actually become useful in the eyes of the other gems, but following her freezing up and doing nothing her confidence is going to be ruined and she is probably going to be mentally fucked too. Now the only thing she can do is prove herself somehow, someway |
| “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 |
| There’s at least 84 of them, doubtful that quartz is in short supply, should be easy to fix. |
 |
| The episode in its own way tries to teach us in a fairly effective way. In addition to this task, the plot keeps on leading the story by going through Phos's life story once again, this is what I like very much. Really evocative backgrounds and really nice graphic details this time. |
 |
| I don't understand gender discussions about this show. If there was no male-like characters in the show I can understand, but this is not the case. They all have female bodies, female voices, and female personalties, so they are female regardless of the pronouns they use. |
