| Pretty good. |
| It's nice to see the animation and art improving over time. And LiSA. Nothing else can be said about the amazing covers. I really hope they release an album with all the covers from the series. The one thing they forgot to do in this episode was explain the opening, with the scenes of Takane running through the collapsing town. As a KagePro fan, I already know what's happening, but it still bugs me that they didn't explain WHY it was happening, as the non-KagePro fans might be a bit confused about this. Hopefully they'll wrap that up next episode. And it's likely, considering the episode is supposed to be Konoha's State of the World. And to be honest, I don't mind the seemingly "out-of-orderness" of the show. Putting all the backstory episodes in the beginning and having the present plot episodes later would really bore people in the beginning. The beginning would seem confusing, with a bunch of stories concerning a bunch of characters that don't seem to connect. It would make sense later on in the present plot episodes, assuming anyone is still willing to watch it after having to sit through the "unrelated" episodes. And having the backstory episodes after the present plot would make absolutely no sense at all. I think that what Jin's doing with the script is fine. Then again, I am a KagePro fan, so I might be a bit biased. |
| Everything's gonna be daijoubu. |
| The OP was never my cup of tea, and considering where they placed it, it was a bit confusing watching buildings fall down left and right before the story actually began. Judging from the manga, they actually swapped some stuff around, didn't they? I thought Takane was already smitten with Haruka before the culture festival? Wasn't that why she didn't want him to know of her Ene handle? Just how in the world do you cheat in an original game? That part hardly made sense. Kido has no actual way of cheating in-game, if anything the only one who could use his eyes to alter reality enough to cheat was Kano (which would make sense actually). I thought Kido could only make things around her disappear? You can't do that in a game now can you? The katana was funny as heck though. I get the feeling that Shintaro isn't just a lucky gamer. Did you see that expression that Takane had when red-scarf girl called out his name? He probably was the top player in that Gamer Tourney or something, otherwise she wouldn't have ran out after him. Can't wait till next week to see how they adapt her becoming "Ene". Though.... considering the mechanics of how things work, I'm majorly confused about it. Still, will discuss when the episode comes out, since it would contain too many spoilers. That happy-go-lucky ED. I actually liked it quite a lot! |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Haruka whats wrong with you T____T Will I find out why Shintaro became a Neet?? |
| Oh sweet~! Ene looked pretty cool, never thought she was a human before, hence that I didn't read the manga at all, so I had no idea she looked like that. :3 That video game thing was awesome! xD It looked fun to play. :3 Oh! And we got to see some other characters as well...that girl with the scarf.... owo OMG! That ending, what happened to that dude~!? D: |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| SHAFT PLS/5 |
 |
| Hopefully SHAFT goes into more detail over what's up with Haruka in the next episode Other than the negatives, I really liked the rendition of Yuukei Yesterday at the end. All of those scenes with those four made me d'aww. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| I liked the ED, but this episode really was heavy. Obviously it was in the past before Ayano died and Shintaro became a NEET, but the confusing part is how the hell did Tatane get turned into a program?! |
| good episode !! |
 |

Episode 8 is Lost Time Memory Lost Time Memory is one of Shintaro's few songs from the original project so I think Jin would reveal why he became a HikiNEET on act 08. Eh... but the manga and light novel still doesn't have a Lost Time Memory arc... so I'm not really sure |
| Well, this series biggest flaw is people especially only-anime-watcher is dont know which is remains mystery and which is explained later.lol put that aside, as fan of original source at last I can really say that this episode is really good adaptation. Many scenes was cut but thats all, they didnt mess with this episode. They know what has to be cut and not. Maybe there are people who confuse why haruka and takane are only student in that class, but mentioned haruka has weak body is enough. People can make assumptions with that. Of course, details about Takane's sickness or whatever is good, but in this 11-episodes anime, is not that important. In previous episodes, I think unimportant details are too many, and because that it become bad adaptation, and this weakness gone in this episode. the music was good as always, and I think the artwork was improved too. |
 |
| I guess I'm one of the lost in series fella. What is the whole purpose of this series again? Anyways, Kido is cute in this episode. |

| Finally some of my questions were answered. Ayano <3 |

AnimeFan500 said: Thanks. About.... These are super spoilers, read at your own risk X) No really - it will ruin you. |
| ''If you win, I will call you master and do whatever you want me to!'' That's some nice foreshadowing :P Well, that was a lot of mysterious background. Shintarou was so fucking cold :P But he doesn't seem to remember about Ene from his school years, that meaning that the memory loss isn't only applicated on Ayane. Wouldn't have thought that Ayane would have been the sensei daughter. I wonder what that mean, maybe he's trying to reunite all the people with ''red eyes''. So Ene became her own avatar on the net and Haruka became his avatar but in real life. I'm really curious on how it happened. Everything seem related to what supposely happened 2 years ago. |

Milenart said: Oh great... I can't wait :Pasteroidvx said: So is Ene being controlled by that girl, or did she die/go away and is Ene just a computer program? A lot of things came together and made me even more confused at the same time... I guess I'll just have to wait and see :P!! Or I guess I could read the manga... maybe it will be shown in the next episode, the preview quotes indicates that next episode will be a direct sequel of this one(and will not jump to another point in time), so you might get some answers?(and more questions) |
minouneetzoe said: This. I loved that part. This episode was good. Bringing everything together while adding more questions. I couldn't help but smile at the end when they were all happy together. Makes me sadder about Ayano's death. I can't wait for everything to be revealed. I haven't heard the songs but I still don't see whats so confusing about it, the story is just a little disjointed is all (can't say I agree with the storytelling so far, but it might grow on me seeing as things are coming together). Kido was so cute.''If you win, I will call you master and do whatever you want me to!'' That's some nice foreshadowing :P |

| I was expecting this episode to be crap but it turned out pretty cool. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| The episode wasn't half-bad, at least for someone who reads the manga as well, that is. Either way it was pretty enjoyable, but I strongly advise people, who actually want to give this a shot to go through the manga as well, they won't really get spoiled or something, you just get a more complete picture that way. The characters you may (not)like now get much more depth in the same time. |

| I don't get this show at all. Is this episode taking place in the past or is it actually disconnected to the storyline? Someone please explain this to me because I haven't watched many of the songs in Kagepro, and I have no idea what's going on haha... I'm getting that they (both?) have an illness, but I don't really get why they're in a special class. Do they become Ene and white-hair guy? Hoping the big picture will help me understand. I don't really want to spoil anything. Cute episode though. I really like these two (: |
| Loved the episode wholesomely :D All that prequel-like stuff which got me to think and the OST was great too. |
| Is this the hipster rage anime of 2014? I love when people say an anime adapted from music videos and 3000 word novels isn't deep or accurate enough. When they adapt 20 minutes worth of source material into an hour of anime you have to fill in gaps. God damn hipsters cant ever just be happy with anime. |
| Well, LiSA doing the cover of Headphone Actor and Yuukei Yesterday was a surprise. But since when was Kido so cute? I loved it *(^o^)* |
     |
| This show really is Shaft from start to end, isn't it? Loving the OST so far though. |

| what? mindfk is that the blue girl?? |
| Gotta love LiSA. Also looks like we're getting a Konoha episode next time. Does anyone who has read the LN here know if we'll get a Marry and/or Seto episode? |
| :O i wanted more Ene last week and i got a full Ene episode...Nice |
 |
| this flash back story explains why Ene knows Ayano in the previous episode |
| Wait, in the preview for Konoha's State of the World next ep, someone said "Why did you die, sister...?" I'm familiar with the source material, but who said that, and about whom? It isn't about Kano/Seto for when Ayano died, is it? Because I can't think of another male character who had a sister that died... |
 |
| I'm having a bit of trouble following this show, but I'm still enjoying it. |

| This and the last episode were pretty good, hopefully it will continue like this. Things are starting to come together, wonder what the hell all of this is leading too. |
cyclone1993 said: I still don't know entirely what's going on, but its beginning to become a bit clearer. I do want to know how Takane and Haruka became Ene and Konoha though, I hope that gets explained soon. They know what they are doing, so I just have to sit back and take it all in, until they are ready to reveal the big picture. Also shy Kido was adorable! Agree with u... It was an interesting episode , and slowly, somethings are getting come to light. |
| Wooow after watching ep 1-6 and reading some comments , I'm really really glad that I don't know anything about the source material because I'm really enjoying this series so far. The first episode was only okay. I didn't like the animation at first, but after watching more episodes I think the lack of colours and the animation in general gives the anime a mysterious vibe and now I think it fits. I started to get interested after Momo shouted 'Onii-chan' because that was the time when I really realized that there will be different stories that are somehow all affiliated with each other . Episode 4 totally won me over. Although I don't really like Hiyori, I found her and Hibiya's story interesting. I also really like the song that they played (Kagerou Days). After watching the first 6 episodes I really want to look up the songs and start reading the manga, but I'm scared that this will change my opinion of the anime and that I will start to be disappointed like most people here :/! |
| Days need to be longer. 24 hours isn't enough ... |
| This one didn't really leave much of an impression on me. But that's just me. |
| So....good episode....I'm still....just.....confused as shit lol. |
 |
| Well that was an interesting start to say the least lol. So Ene was a normal human (Takane) being before she became an AI or w/e she is now it seems, oh wait, even Haruka is there. That's a rather nice shooting game they have there. So Ayano and Shintaro came to their game booth also, I'm sensing defeat (what if he took 1st place in that tourney lol?). Aha, so that's why Ene calls Shintaro master. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Nice OST this episode. Don't really care enough to understands what's going on. |
 |
| Ene is cute, so is Kido!!! And the OP (Headphone Actor) and ED (Yuukei Yesterday) were just awesome! |
