Let's go in a train of feels this week! :D
...;| ....NOO, why can't they just love each other? (;_;)
Poor Takene and Haruka.
Maybe it was a once in a lifetime thing but I cried when I was reading this part in the manga...the anime felt sorta...rushed? But the animation was really good IMO.
Crap, looking at the title for next week...I already know that I'm gonna be even more sad.

That show is a pile of messy and unfocused s***. Does anyone even know what that fu***** thing is about? It's been 7 episodes, guys. 7(!) Episodes. The direction is awful, the flow is awful, the pacing is awful, the characters are awful (I don't like or care about any of them - don't even start about knowing their names), the visuals are awful (I like the Monogatari Series and Madoka Magica but this is just painful to watch), the music is okay and the story not even existing/relevant and the humor too dry to even think about laughing. One of the worst and most unentertaining shows I have ever seen. If I wasn't a completionist I would have dropped it long ago.

Fu***** awful. SHAFT should have made Hana- and Kizumonogatari instead.


Pretty much agreed.
This looks inconsistent as hell so far.

Well...the part that caught my interest the most was when Kano transformed into Haruka and started mentally torturing her (what a twist, it was shintaro he was torturing in the novel). I gotta say though, episode is moving slower than I expected.

Wow this show has been so damn inconsistent! It's episodes like this that make me think the show is brilliant. But there have been just as many brilliant ones as god-awful ones! Jesus Christ I can't figure out if this show is brilliant or just a mess!

I like how concerned Ene is for Shintaro :D

Also, what's with Kano? I get the feeling that he has a deep love obsession for Ayano

Well, not really, he is just messed up, mostly because of his past, the kid had to suffer a lot... that's why he seens to feel worst about Ayano's lost than the rest of the dan ;-; I wouldnt call it a love obsession, Ayano was his big sister, and he had a special connection with her, but it really looked like it in the anime XD.

Aw, feel disappointed that there's no insert song this ep but from I think we're gonna get both of the insert song next week (both Lost Time Memory and Konoha's State of the World) just like in ep 6.

I don't know why i thought I'd be emotionally ready for this. I'm a little confused,is Kano an antagonist now? Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this hasn't happened in the manga yet. I knew this episode would be sad but I didn't think it'd be this sad,luckily I had a pillow i could scream in and cry into :(

Wait, I'm a little confused.

I didn't read all of the Kagerou Daze light novels, so I still haven't fully grasped what exactly happened to Haruka. However, it seems like the scene with Haruka rejecting his body (Konoha) was supposed to clear up something for me, but I just wanted to clarify: Did Haruka split into two beings? One, being 'Konoha', basically a Haruka devoid of his memories, and Kuroha, an existence without a body, but instead being Haruka's memories incarnate?

No, it not happened in the manga, but already happende in the novels, but the difference is that Kano did what he did, not with Ene, but with Shintaro in the novels, he transforms into Ayano and does the same as he did with Ene XD The rest is also different since the anime is a new route, not a adaptation from the manga/novel/songs routes.
But Kano is not the antagonist, you will see -w- ...maybe... -_-

People are thinking it might be the case, but it was not revealed yet in the novels.(it would be cool if it is it *w*)

I would like to know what's up with Kenjirou though, that was always something that I wanted to know in the series like how did he do all of the things he did, but I'm not expecting that to be answered so yeah, I'll keep my expectations low on finding stuff out about him. A Dead and Seek episode would've been really cool too, with the song inserted in it too... Unfortunately, that will not happen... v.v

Well, I think the title for the episode was more fit to be Dead and Seek rather than Konoha's State of the World seeing it show how Kenjirou was really involved in the story and such...

I think it IS made for the old fans after all... So if you're not an old fan you probably would be confused and would be commenting stuff like you did about the series. How about trying to go into the MVs, LNs, and manga to see why old fans react the way they do towards MCA. I'm not really an old fan but I did become a fan right before the anime aired and I instantly loved it. :)

That would definitely spark the series up as it explains the conflict of the plot and I think it would make as a great climax? But the ending is so..

And I still wanna see Summertime Record...

(IDK but it'd be nice if the anime ends on Outer Science and a Summertime Record OVA/Movie will follow)

Well I think this is a good episode, There were some moments for Ayano and Takane, and how Takane feels about Shintaro. I guess that's the reason why where she turned into Ene. Woah some dramatic turn for Kano when hurting Ene and himself.

Wait until everything to be connected. If u can't see the direction it's going maybe you just started out to have a bad image/hate on the anime and the hate was all in your head while you missed all the details the anime was playing.

Also, I have totally nothing to say on haters. jfc. hope u're not one of them.

Yeah, no. An adaption shouldn't be just for fans, it's also supposed to get newbies (like me) into the source material by itself and not turn them off. I don't think the story of Mekakucity Actors is soooo deep and complex; it's just the way it is presented which is pretty bad and unnecessarily confusing (so far).

Mekakucity Actors actually managed to make me cry. Wish they'd show more of Seto tho.

Next week is LTM which I don't know whether it's a good thing or not, even though I love the song a lot.

Did I miss something or did they not play Konoha no Sekai Jijou in this episode?

This series is steadily improving! Good episode.

Ayano is a really cute and considerate girl.
And that was unexpectedly cruel coming from Kano. Definitely a very interesting guy and there is more to him than just his always cheery and dorky side. Poor Ene though.

Still somewhat confusing, e.g. Kagerou Days' relevance and connection to the other events.

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.

This episode was pretty okay. The last episode made me pretty excited for it, though honestly I was hoping to see more of Kagerou Days. They messed up the real Kagerou Days episode so bad I was hoping for something to save it, and since Konoha's State of the World was supposed to be linked to it I expected a bit more... but this was fine I guess.

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?

And I love the hate, lol. I already knew this show was going to be disappointing somehow (Jin's writing hasn't yet impressed me in any of the mediums except the songs), and it's nice to see how non-fans are taking it.

Next ep: Lost Time Memory. I'm so nervous about this because

Wow! Flashbacks of the past. So she liked Konoha after all. Kano used his power to like, scare Ene or make her suffer. His power by the way, is awesome! He's pretty mean by doing that, but I don't really care. Ayano must have liked Shintaro too judging from what she wants for him.
I know that they'll all meet up and it's gonna be great. Their gonna clear things up.

Decent episode.

Well, I dont know, it's just how I see the propose of the anime. I think it's not meant to be a direct adaptation, but a extention from the other medias, each media has it's onw events, and if you want to get the full of the story you need to know about all of them. Before or after you watch the anime, you need to get to the others medias to be able to see all events. Well, maybe it's not it, it's just how I see this whole series, as a saw puzzle where you need to get all the pieces tho the medias to have a complete view. Each media starts the same(except from the musics, of course), but then, after a especific event they all split up and take their onw directions. But I kinda understand what you mean, the anime is not motivating you to get the whole of the story and search for the other medias.

yep, I think you're right, all the media are confusing XD And the anime is another media to the series. But I really think that you need to know about each media to get the whole series. If it's just the anime, I feel like it's incomplete, since I have the feeling that not everything will filled with the anime, so much as it won't be filled with the other medias alone. Beeing clear that it's just HOW I SEE the series.
