Yep, as I thought, Aki is gonna want to Hikaru all because the worm Mecha-ude said so. I mean, it's pretty obvious that the Mecha-ude has some type of ulterior motive. And she's clearly manipulating or taken control of Fubuki. Nah, scratch that maybe, it DEFINITELY took her over. BUT THE BOY HIKARU WAS THERE TO SAVE THE DAY WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL SAWANO TRACK IN THE BACK.

Animation did more than just pop off, IT WAS ON FUCKING DRUGS BECAUSE HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK THAT ENTIRE FINAL FIGHT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. And now, everything is back to normal, with Aki going back to school and barging into Hikaru's room, AND THANKFULLY FUBUKI IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO NORMAL.

Best episode of the show thus far.

I’ll do everything in my power to get more eyes on this show. Best episode BY FAR MY GOD WHAT A RIDE!! Fubuki being mind controlled by her mecha ude wasn’t a surprise at all, but just knowing it was her that took out those scientists and her parents.. it won’t bring them back but I know Aki has to feel a lot better to have her sister back and their killer gone(i think lol?)

The animation and fights today were so damn good, but you can tell they don’t have a big budget or team working on the show because whenever they have a big Sakuga moment it’s really short. Had a few of em today, my fave being the climax with Alma and Hikaru’s power up. Kinda sweet that Aki crying out for Hikaru is what gave him the strength to help there, someone as independent and badass as she is begging for help just shows how dire everything was. And ofc my goat Sawano COOKED with that ost.

My enemies to lovers ship might just sail after all lol I can’t wait to see this new nicer Aki as she takes on the 24 hour bodyguard role with Hikaru 😂

Now that we got Aki family killer presumably out the way, barring her being turned into a weapon there by whoever’s pulling strings in the postcredits scene, I wonder where we go from here. Next ep is kinda like the start of a new season. Hype

So I dunno if I'm missing something, but shouldn't Fubuki be on their death bed since Amaryllis was forcibly removed? Like shouldn't she be leaking Arbitrium at the moment? Or is it cause Amaryllis was destroyed that Fubuki isn't in a comatose state (We don't know if Amaryllis got destroyed but I'm just trying to come up with a logical reason)? Maybe I wasn't paying attention to the last few episodes so I dunno if I'm missing something here or if it's a plot hole I'll eventually stop caring about.

Side note did the other agents get their Mecha-Ude back, or they still on their death beds?

This show is about as cliche as it gets. It’s super corny and I get annoyed every episode. I’m still watching it tho lmao. Its animation is solid enough, and I guess im soft enough for the emotional beats to land every now and then. But whew this feels so corny to me lol.

I like how Aki had a change of heart and didn't wat to get Hikaru involved.
Even Jun had has good moments in this episode.
Amaryllis is an evil Mecha-Ude that killed the parents and caused so many problems.
Though it seems she was working for someone else before that person destroyed them.
Also the past with Alma still has a lot of pieces missing.
Now we also have the gate that Kagami group wants to open.

I have ADD, ADHD & AUTISM, but this won't stop me. Let's keep having fun together.

As expected, the sister was controlling Aki or rather they were both being controlled like dolls by Amaryllis, the one responsible for Aki's parents deaths. While Hikaru considers her a friend and has some self doubts specially after she lashed out against him due to her plans while trying to not get him involved, he came in clutch with Jun to defeat it with also the great help from his own arbitrarium.

Something tells me that Yakumo is probably Hikaru's ancestor but that face similarity may also be thanks to the art style. Whatever the came, we couldn't end the episode without Meru shipping Aki and him.

I'm still loving this show, however I'm realizing that it is a little all over the place. Don't get me wrong, I thought this episode was really good. But we are halfway through the season now and it doesn't feel like there's a clear plot or a main goal. Just the characters kinda going through different "situations". That being said, I do still really like this show and I will keep watching it. The concept is great and the character designs are amazing. Animation is top tier too!!

Nice ep but I still feel the pacing and way things are told in this show is really weird. Like I didnt even really feel that much over Aki getting Fubuki back or care all that much that Hikaru basically powered up like it all just doesnt feel like the impact that should be there is there it's more like "oh that happened, cool…uh now what…". I like the show and want to like it more, it was one of the more interesting looking shows I was looking forward to. I just hope the way things are done improve for the next 6 episodes. Maybe it would have been a higher quality show if it was a little more than 12 episodes? Hard to say since while things feel like they skip around it also doesnt feel like there is much happening between.

Killer little sis is done

But they left another mystery...

Was Fist-mecha the one that caused the death of his previous host? But why?

Tho.. it feels like it's gonna end up the same as little sis... a giant misunderstanding and a 3rd party being the actual cause.

Such as... what if the previous host and fist-mecha was fighting against someone else that caused the origin-mecha to go haywire and fist-mecha had to make a choice to either save the host, or seal the origin-mecha... and judging by how it is, they chose to seal, but the host dies.

Which looks like the plot is gearing toward another human organization as the mastermind...

Thru 6 episodes and this alongside Talker has been my most underrated anime of the season. Can it be a little corny/cliche sometimes? Sure, but a lot of anime can be at times and it’s by no means the defining factor. Fight scenes keep impressing me for such a small studio, I love the dynamic between these three characters and I’m looking forward to where the story goes

Overused cliche but what matters is that it was well done and I liked it. The camera movement during action sequence was cool. Hikaru is Aki's hero. My ship is looking good. Jun's been great too. His hair turned back white though partially. Cause he lost arbitarium? Will he be okay? We got some hints for the bigger picture and how things might be connected. Alma got it's memory back?

This had me laughing.

Looks like this arc is over and we're going to move on to the new one. Aki saved her little sister this time around but there are even more mysteries surrounding Alma now. The Hikasa Youko mecha-ude blamed Alma for everything. The action and everything were pretty great. Can't wait to see where things go from here on out.

If I have a complaint so far from this show is the pacing, this is way too fast, things are happening and characters are moving on way too fast from the accidents that are happening. I get it that it must be because of limited episodes but I feel like this story needed more episodes than just 12. Again, it could be too quick to judge it like that. But, that's how I feel so far. It could change by the end.
