| Seed of rage...they're using Kumi's power to further an ambition. Honestly, this anime treats her like an experimental weapon to be used on the battlefield Those clones were apparently failed products. Episode also displayed the skills of paladins although I felt slightly underwhelmed. This episode was practically setting up for a war. |
 |
| That was very sad and depressing. I really hope there will be a miracle for Kuumi. This scene was very beautiful yet sad and tragic.  |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Trying to convince the prototypes one by one to free them of their programming curse, it's the inevitable war between Paladins Jiro and Facade for a start that saw the latter lose, and the rescue effort being more daunting then they expect. Mezami glowing with the red-eyes and transforming into a giant beast himself to face both Jiro and Kumi, and with one slight ubiquity of a power only known to her, Mezami is eaten alive. From a war that was successful in avoiding sparking a war to Kumi overexerting herself to the point of overwhelming power being a weaponized Cleric, what was Kumi's living purpose for? Now I feel very underwhelmed of the story displayed here, it had a concept, but was not executed well. |
 |
| I don't trust this Tsurugi girl. She wanted to do the right thing, but somehow seemed to be forced to obey the emperor's command possibly by some kind of magic. Now she's definitely got some ulterior motives. |
| Facade have the typical boss weakness point. So Myaa is from the ancient civilization, apparently. Kumi going Evangelion. Im not worried about about Kumi dying because, sisters. |
 |
| That ending got me. Damn feels. it reminded me of the ending of Worlds End. Which is also epic and its an absolute tragedy it never got another season. Im routing for our best boy and best girl in this one, but looks like time is up! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Very interesting and emotional, I hope Kumi will be miraculously saved in the end |
| A bittersweet ending after Mezami was killed and the Kumi prototypes were saved What will they do now after learning about Kumi's limited time on Ars. I feel like there is more to the story now that there are two episodes left with the main antagonist gone. I also liked that we got the piano version of the ED. |
 |
| Wow, so Kumi's ring has some special power that turned her eyes green and apparently enabled her to mind control a giant beast that ate Mezami. With Mezami gone now the realization that Kumi's time to live has been shortened is tragic. Maybe there will be a way to reverse that but I wonder if that may involve sacrificing someone else's life. |

She wanted to do the right thing, but somehow seemed to be forced to obey the emperor's command possibly by some kind of magic. Now she's definitely got some ulterior motives. I don't think she's being controlled/manipulated by the empress or someone else, she's just being pragmatic. |
| The concept was there, but this episode felt quite poorly executed, and I'm quite underwhelmed at what could have been an excellent climax of a fight scene and emotions. Mezami dying like that was quite odd, felt a little anticlimactic. Kumi overexerts herself and it probably took a toll on her already limited lifespan, and I wonder if she can be saved, though I'm leaning towards yes. If anything, the ending sequence with the piano version of the song was nice, though the overall production is quickly degrading. |
| i doubt kuumi will actually die soon but if her lifespan actually does run out, then damn. those 2 guys gave up real quick, they knew their place and didn't work outside their pay grade lmao . |
 |
| wow that emotional ending! that got me good! really snuck up on me... it hurts so bad! |
| Not their best in my opinion but at least that annoying evil cunt is dead |
| Damn Kumi's lifespan is nearing it's end, I hope they find a way to save her. Myaa used those ruins? Wonder whats up with her. Curious about what Mezami said too. Kumi was able to control that giant beast, how? With the ring? |
 |
| I guess now we know what the green crystals are for...it induces the red eyes? Rip Kumi |
