Ahhh... The feels! Takane and Haruka... *sobs*

Kano, get out of being an ass, get off of Ene's back and most importantly get out of Haruka's form!! >:(



Ahh... So sad... Kenjiro you jerk! Right at the confession scene too!!

And then, the 'Konoha's State of the World' bit. My word. The feels. Cannot. Be. Put. Into. Words.

HARUKAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( Hearing him being so sad... And screaming in pain so much... So many f**king feels.

Does this mean that he likes Takane too? It's every HaruTaka's dream!!






Now now, Ayano was a sweet girl. You shouldn't insult the dead
Plus:

in which case, she wasn't there at that moment specifically for what you stated. :P

I still find it confusing how Haruka came back given that (MAJOR SPOILERS):


Also, given the next episode will be Lost Time Memory, I get the feeling that it might be possible to adapt both Endings. What they could do is:


Correct me if I'm wrong, but given what they've adapted thus far about Konoha and Shintaro meeting has been following Route 1, I get the feeling that they're going for the Good End for this series.

Oh, and Shintaro x Ayano will always be my OTP here. I don't care if she's dead. Their feelings were mutual even if they didn't know it themselves, just like Takane x Haruka. It would be fun to see those two get together somehow, perhaps in the digitized world. XD

All that suffering. Way too much feels, though I did expect Kano to show his true colours some time soon. There were some foreshadowing of it in ep 5, so it's kinda frustrating to see being getting so worked up over it. Of course, his torturing Ene was a surprise, though my guess is that he's just jealous of her, the one to hear "onee-chan's last words".

But the bit that surprised me was how he could take Haruka's form. I know that they have met before, but if they couldn't even recognise Ene I don't see how it could be possible for him to remember how Haruka looked like. Which brings up a question to Kano's powers: does he make people see what he wants them to see, or what they want to see?



Gikari said:
Referring to Kano here, who spent the entire fifth novel helping Ene out and was being friendly in general, while not meaning any harm to her whatsoever. He is disturbingly cruel in the anime adaptation and nothing really excuses him. I don't like the way they keep changing his character for the sake of style and whatever they're trying to accomplish. This applies to any character in this adaptation, but Kano was just too much for me. Ugh.

Very good episode, one of the best so far
seems that the Shaft decided to invest a little to make something better
the plot was also very interesting, can not wait to know the past of the characters, especially Shintaro and Ayano
poor Shintaro, when decides to leave home it happens ..
I think the story will be better from now on

I know, I'm not entirely sure on that one either. <:)



I dunno mate, I heard somewhere that apparently


Haruka x Takane all the way. X3 If they go for a Summertime Record ending and Haruka really does feel something for Takane (that's what it looked like when Haruka said "I wanted to see you, Takane..."), then I don't see why it shouldn't end that way. :D

Good episode with a lot of information, but a lot of crutial information is still missing. Thanks god I already know the story because it's confusing.

What the hell, Kano?! Why'd you tell Ene about Haruka in the meanest way possible?

Okay, one thing I don't understand. Is the imagery of Ene and Haruka's bodies disappearing just symbolism of them actually dying? Or are there some supernatural elements to this?

Holy cow! The piano tune that plays when Takane rushes into the hospital and is talking to Tateyama sensei is actually "Konoha's State of the World" XD

EDIT: The scenes of Ene running across a ruined city and Haruka sitting around in class symbolizes their states of mind before they die. Ene running off across the city is symbolic of herself running towards the hospital to tell Haruka her feelings right after her chat with Ayano. Haruka sitting in the classroom should be more explicit, but it still his own thoughts when he is bedridden.

And while their bodies disappearing and then transforming are symbolically portrayed, Takane and Harkua do in fact die and become 'converted' into these new entities: one without a body and one without memories. The supernatural element is how they were 'transformed' by the entity.

From the non-linear anime that I've watched, character relationships were already established early on and their clashes drive the plot. MCA in the other hand, establishes character relationships, but the their clashes do not drive the plot and instead dig deeper into the roots of their relationships, so that may be why you wouldn't like it. Without telling any spoilers, you should know that MCA's plot is basically a tragedy born from accidental circumstances. If MCA does a good job with it's completion, then you should be able to see why these flashbacks and stories are so important.

I just knew Haruka was in trouble when he was laying on his desk just like when you sleep on it.

So there actually was a girl that liked Shintaro, sacre bleu!

Duh f... , why did Takane collapse O.o and she even said she loves Haruka :3

So that's how she was transformed into an AI hmmm.

Damn, Shintaro closed himself in that apartment after Ayano died and he doesn't know who Ene really is.

Haruka wished to be normal and instead he got a strong body in exchange for his body disappearing from this world.

A rather decent/nice-ish episode.

Yet another anime series where you've expected to have read the manga. After 7 episodes nothing makes sense so even if there is a "pay off" I really don't care anymore. So well done.


There's a misconception that this anime series is made specifically for the fans - well it isn't.

KagePro is a MULTI-MEDIA series.
The songs, manga and novels are just like this - HUWAT IS HAPPENING, OHH TRAGEDY, PLOT TWIST, I DUN UNDERSTAND

This anime is yet another extension of the series.
I hope more people WOULD REALIZE this.
YOU'RE NOT EXPECTED TO KNOW THE SOURCE MATERIAL. It's just plain odd and confusing.

I think a lot of KagePro pairing is a one sided love. KanoKido is nice. But even if there's love between those two, I see it more from Kido's side than Kano's.

But it's okay to ship a lot of pairing. Because, one doesn't simply: Ship only one pairing in KagePro xD

Btw I like KonoKido too.

So, we found out how Ene....turned into the Ene we know today. :P Kind of...weird, since it didn't really explain how she got turned into the electrical form and who did it to her....and stuff...

The story itself kind of progressed forward, I just want to see what happened during the car accident, damn it. xD

So many things happened....and the anime itself is getting more tougher to understand. :P

Great episode, but I'm a bit worried about how episode 8 is going to be like. From the previews, it doesn't seem as if the content will match the title of the episode, but maybe they're just trying to avoid spoilers...? I can only hope.

I wonder why Kano did what he did, and I am a person who knows the source material... He never did that to Takane in the source material, right?

So she collapsed and was digitized? I suspect the teacher.

Kisaragi really can't get over the whole master thing :P

Very sweet of Takane, but still to not tell Shintaro her identity :/

Why is Kano lying about Haruka or does he just not know that he's alive?

The teacher had a red eye :O

So Haruka had the same thing happen to him, but he lost his memories as well?

No song this episode.

I like the little monster story, this chapter really shows that immortality sucks.

Confusing at the Haruka part, but other than that I really enjoyed this episode.

Lost Time Memory is next? That'll be interesting.

In any case, Takane's story was one of my favorites from the series, although seeing as it takes a somewhat different route from the manga, a lot of readers are almost as confused as the anime fans.

Kano's appearance was new. Looking forward to the next episode, hopefully it'll continue upwards from here.

Well, okay, now I'm even more confused.

So from what I understood, Takane somehow and for some reason got a body on the net(?). Haruka got a body that was stronger since he was ill, but since he refused it, the body became as empty as a shell. At least, that's what I understood, it may be why he is so "reactive". The vision we saw at the end of Haruka was Kano power to change people perception, though I don't understand why he did that.

Shintaro him didn't lost his memory because of some strange magic, he lost it because of a trauma or something like this. Over the time, by isolating himself with the help of Ene, he probably finished by unconsciously forget about Ayane to protect himself.

I thought that the "monster" from the tale was Ayane, but now I guess it's more her mom. The lover would be the sensei. Now, what I still don't understand is why Ayane suicided. Maybe she had the same case as her mom, that she wouldn't grow up? That way, she thought that she could not stay forever with Shintaro and suicided herself? I think I'm speculating too much, it will only make me more confused xD

What the fuck is going on?! Is Ayano's father responsible for the existence of the Mekakucity Actors? He's got that glowing red eye? Is Ayano really even dead?

It's good to see Ene being put through the emotional wringer. I don't like her, and I don't like Shintaro's sister either.

Poor Ene and Konoha. I'm so glad Konoha has feelings for Ene too(his dialogue before the ending credit makes me think for it ahaha). :)
Dat Mr. Tateyama, though. He's suspicious to me.
No insert song, though. But I guess it wouldn't fit in if they were going to add it.
Best episode so far! ♥
