Rewrite

There were so many parts that got skipped, even some of the fights happened off-screen. It was emotional but because there are too many things left unexplained, I still couldn't fully connect with the characters... If only they adapted this show with more episodes and be more faithful to the original game source, I’m sure the result would’ve been much better than this.

That was dark... I can't believe I actually ended up sympathizing with that blonde guy, Midou. Because he was really annoying since Kotarou first met him. The battle between all of the factions fighting over the "Key" was intense too. With how chaotic and desperate everything started to feel near the end, I believe the next episode will be amazing.

Wholesome interactions between the heroines, a bit of fan service, and more details about the story finally being revealed. Honestly, this episode wasn't that bad, but one issue that has been present from the beginning of this show is how they keep rushing things. I feel like Akane's backstory and the explanation about the Gaia organization were way too short and made the episode pacing feels a bit off.

They were pretty clever turning the misunderstanding from the previous episode into a comedic moment. Kagari also did a great job lightening the tense atmosphere with her innocent personality. Kotarou's interactions with Akane were pretty hilarious too. Overall, it was a good episode. The final scene was definitely enough to make me look forward to the next episode.

Endingnya bikin nangis banget. Cara visualisasi hari akhir yang ada di cerita ini beneran keren banget dan menurutku ini bagus dijadikan sebagai cerita untuk membuat kita sadar dan memahami dunia. Kita tidak boleh menyia-nyiakan waktu yang ada dan begitu banyak amanat yang bisa diambil dari anime ini. Meskipun ini season 1 dan dirasa terlalu terburu-buru dalam akhir cerita, tapi pesan yang ingin disampaikan dapat tersampaikan dengan baik. Anime ini cocok buat kalian yang suka dengan awal cerita yang ringan dan perkembangan misteri yang sangat dalam.

Gila keren banget episode ini. Pertarungan, masa lalu, dan klimaks dari cerita sangat terasa di episode ini. Masa lalu yang diceritakan juga benar-benar membuatku emosional. Sedih banget lihat alasan anggota gaia sebegitu bencinya dengan para manusia. Aku juga ngerasa sedih buat kehidupan kotori. Pokoknya episode ini beneran keren.

Episode ini terasa seperti ketenangan sebelum adanya peperangan besar. Pendalaman cerita yang diperlihatkan di sini juga bagus untuk menjelaskan alasan semua hal yang ada di anime ini terjadi. Semakin banyak hal yang dijelaskan membuatku semakin penasaran dengan hal yang lainnya. Apalagi takdir yang akan dipilih kagari akan menentukan segalanya.

Pertarungan yang ada di episode ini hasilnya cukup membuat aku ga bisa berkata-kata. Aku masih menyimpan curiga sama sakuya, apalagi tentang guardian dan gaya yang masih ambigu mana yang lebih baik. Sekarang ceritanya mulai lebih berat tapi tetep seru buat diikuti.

Aku merasa penjelasan tentang kotori terlalu sedikit dan penuh dengan tanda tanya. Alur ceritanya juga terlalu cepat jadi ngerasa banyak potongan cerita yang hilang atau terjadi tiba-tiba. Tapi di episode ini aku suka banget sama sikapnya kagari yang kelihatan polos tapi masih bisa terlihat elegan. Fakta yang diberikan di episode ini juga benar-benar di luar ekspektasi aku.

Too many things happened at once and it feels like a completely different anime. Also, the "ghost girl" suddenly can talk now? I feel like we need more explanation for that but they just skipped through it, lol. At least she's cute.

I love Kagari's personality. She had a lot of hilarious scenes and it made this episode more entertaining. That said, I feel like the storytelling was a bit rushed especially when they revealed who Kotori really is. I think that part could’ve been explored more because it also crucial to the story.

Things are finally getting serious now and the true identities of the rest of the Occult Club members are slowly being revealed. The action scenes were intense, but the 3D models of the monsters felt a bit "low-budget," which was kind of a turn-off. I still don't like the writing. They keep hinting things without properly explaining them...

No matter how hard I try to follow the story something about the writing just feels off to me, especially with that weird cliffhanger at the end, it just felt really awkward to me... At least the club activity and the heroines' cute moments in this episode were entertaining.

I'm not sure what to think of the ending. Too many events were unexplained, too many time skips, too many random lore reveals with no explanation. Too much happening all at once to finish it in one episode. It's hard to feel for the characters when the events don't entirely make sense, despite being told about it already. Not the best show out there, has a lot of problems. 5/10

Seems like the animation couldn't keep up with the fights at the beginning and it ended up looking shoddy. Still, this was quite the dramatic episode seeing all the events unfold. The two so called organizations haven't really done much up until this point and their role is meaningless, as seen at the beginning. It feels like a joke. With only one episode remaining, it still has a chance to redeem itself.

I think this was a decent episode considering the pacing was good with more plot related material rather than mostly gag moments. But that is to be expected, there are only two episodes remaining after all. But that means we might see more action because it's getting serious right now. Right now, it's interesting to see how both Kagari and Akane switch to completely different roles - this is yet to be explained.

In all honesty, Kagari is what keeps the episode from being lackluster. The training arc with Kotarou is reduced to mere tidbits of scenes, rather than full fledged growth. Still, the episode somewhat redeemed itself with the final segment that involved some action - which I found to be a bit underwhelming and poor in writing.

This episode takes the same formula as the previous in making the first half mostly comedic relief and the second half serious story. However, that might change in the next episode. As the story ramps up, things get more serious - and my complaints about the lack of explanation are solved in this episode. Towards the end, it reveals it all for us and makes it easy to understand. But with just that, the story is still pretty flat so far.

This episode was all over the place. Feels like we got a big exposition dump all at once. And learning more about Kagari, the ribbon girl, is finally starting to make sense. But only temporarily. Despite the big exposition dump, we did get a lot of lore/plot. The characters shown in the previous episodes are revealed in this, further progressing the story. But as it stands, it all feels rushed.

Going out to search for the missing member of the other club finally put the show into serious mode. The show was fine so far but it's finally getting interesting as more is revealed. I was wondering why one of the previous episodes had a random end scene with no follow up - that was shown in this episode. In the grand scheme of things, it's still just the beginning, but it's enough to keep me interested in the show.
