| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This show just keeps on giving. Another episode of a surreal journey following these characters but Nagara and Nozomi has an important role thanks to their abilities. Episode even had a montage song following the group I also kinda like how everyone seems to be more trusting now as they all depend each other. |
 |
| The girl with that Monologue ability was pretty sweet IMO. But, having such ability can be both a blessing and a curse at the same time especially if there's no switch to turn it off. Like, I would feel uncomfortable if someone's asking me a favor and at the same time, he's just using me for his own good. I felt bad for that girl. Asakaze loves Nozomi, I didn't know about that. That's why he's jealous of Nagara. But, because of that, we got to learn about how everyone feels and their true personality. As I expected, Asazake thinks he's a big shot, the busty teacher is a horrible woman and Nozomi is nice in all of them. That montage song was honestly pretty great. I enjoyed it. I love Nozomi, she might be my favorite character in this show and I would love to have a friend like her in my life. |
 |
| So Asakaze has feelings for Nozomi, well as expeceted this was another great episode full of symbolism, this anime truly makes your brain work with every abstract representation of things they have, like war being a empty body stuck in time falling on a cliff forever, maybe a representation of how wars never end and are a timeless thing in our world that will always exist. Well whatever theory you have on this anime, its still hard to comprehend what exactly they mean with each episode, truly a very unique anime and I can't wait to see what is going to happen in the end. |
 |
| A character who can read people's minds, her "Monologue" superpower is one that's quite useful on Aki-sensei's faction, whom has an interest in Asakaze as well. But she'd be forever behind since he likes Nozomi. NGL, it's surrealism to hear the drifting worlds through this girl's perspective, which gives the show a new, fascinating outlook. Tora, Gen and Sakura being the 3 cats that also reckon powers, but could also go haywire if used inappropriately, be it the Nyamazon crates or the copying. The journey of Aki-sensei, Nozomi, Asazake and the girl with the insert song is no doubt interesting as well to transcend between worlds to find this "War" to end and bring world peace. Aki-sensei is becoming more terrifying of an antagonist player while the others sort out their love problems, which Asazake has an ego of and always falling short of Nozomi. Honestly, the world's mechanics are getting more convoluted, which makes the show more interesting from an analyst perspective. What these students can or cannot do, it's up to them to figure this out. |
 |
| im lost about this episode isnt War about Death? and lots of Death so how come killing War will result in Death? or do the episode meant that War creates grudges and cycle of hate that do not result in real Death or ending? still does not make sense especially that they are living in a multiverse (Many Worlds Interpretation) where both Alive and Dead of a person happens all the time and isnt last episode shows that Death can occur in This World anyway? ye its obvious that Asakaze is in love with Nozomi and did Nozomi really die for this time or will die in the end? since her original version did die already too anyway Mind Reading is a cool ability to have but Thought-Action Fusion in psychology says "you are not your thoughts"  is this show now about Death like Suicide perhaps in the end? lets find out does Death here means figuratively or literally? |
| I loved the episode, but the only bad thing about this episode is that we had the Monologue girl saying Aki-sensei is bad, but didn't shine a light deeply of why, just kept the manipulative part, that we already seen, and I wanted something to make the anti-big boob trust, that Nozomi began, get more strength. I want the climbing montage song. World Wound by L'oreal Paris . Because You're Worth It. I hope Nozomi isnt dead. Mizuho have the power to ressurect? |
 |
| Only a couple or so episodes left now. I liked that song that was playing during their journey also. Wonder how this will end. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| The song is 今日の歌 by Kaneyorimasaru |
| I chased fame, fortune and CANDY during MALoween 23 Main :        Bonus:  |
| Pretty interesting episode, curious on how they'll wrap this up in 2 episodes. The monologue girl was interesting. And the whole concept of ''Death'' was done well. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I've come to the conclusion that none of this is suppose to make sense |
| What even is Aki's objective? I still can't tell if she's an antagonist or not. |

| Monologue is a cheap but effective way to peer through our main character's thoughts, which was nice. Nozomi said in this episode that she accepts her fate, even though she is dead, then turns into a compass. Very ironic, but it would mean that she is dead-dead. That's very sad, but I guess Mizuho can order another Nozomi now. I think Asakaze couldn't save her because he was holding the gun. I think it will only allow people to kill rather than to save. Nozomi writing letters to Nagara while she's away was a nice touch. It's pretty much confirmed that Mizuho's cat copied the students, and whatever Mizuho orders is in stasis. Wonder what they'll do with that information. The anime is now trying to answer some of our questions now and picks up the pace in the narrative side of things. Less dilly-dallying about symbolisms as the other characters "grew up" and graduated their "tertiary" education. Episode 11 might be something big. Very excited to see how this series will end. |
 |
| The copy chicken didn't die. They now have a way to kill people with the gun ... Are they going to kill their originals and take their place 🤔 |
I don't know how signatures work   |
| Once again, the show casually drops things like "Oh, the cult teacher has been training us, and we've rendevoused with other people and are read to embark to battle," and "War threatens God, so we need you to become Death Incarnate," but those are not the focus of the episode at all. Instead, this week we switch gears again to a completely random girl who's apparently a secret telepath who's been spying on everybody, knows pretty much everything that's going on, and has built up her own personal imagined relationship with the Wonderboy, because that's not creepy at all. And yet, the weirdest part of the episode is a montage in the middle set to a completely random insert song. Anyway, he drags her along with his attempted harem to go kill War in a dead world, and instead find a dead dude endlessly falling, and as soon as Evil Teacher reveals that the girl is telepathic, he jumps straight into her boobs. Seems like it might've been a good time to tell him that she hates him and is manipulating him, huh? The manic pixie girl yells at him again, so they decide to mercy kill the dead dude, at which point she falls off a cliff. Which leads to the reveal that it was Cat Girl who was making everything immortal by slaughtering chickens. Sure, Sonny Boy. Whatever you say. Did the telepath girl even have a name? What ever happened to Star Boy? Didn't he have his own cult, or did they join cults? Wasn't he talking to a different god? Where is anything even going? |
| If the director and main writer's intention was to bore me to tears for 24 minutes, all I gotta say is "job well done". Introducing a boring character that allegedlty has been there since the beginning without even stating her name is just a cheap aspull, specially when she's got such a godly trait such as reading other people's minds. I'm always up for show don't tell kind of narratives, but a lot of what happens in recent episodes is just nonsensical events made up for people to cook some really weird theories on how things suposedly work. The important things such as how did Asazuke and the rest of his group made it back to their own world (or a world that resembles their original) isn't explained at all, or the alleged huge time gap between his group and Sagara's if all that mumbo jumbo from last episode where they mention they got station in that world with the tiwns for freaking 1000 years and how that insanely amount of time doing the same daily chores didn't make any of them go crazy. I'm just waiting for the last 2 final episodes to chalk this off as complete and totally forget it even existed (wich most likely a lot of people will do the same) |
| This episode was somewhat more grounded than some of the previous ones, more answers and the structure was more straightforward than the usual surrealist stuff. Still got more questions than answers. I am wondering how they will wrap this up in two episodes. Maybe Nagara and the others will try to bring Nozomi back, if that's even possible. |
| Watching this show is like reading a Murakami novel but with less explanation for anything. |
| I am seriously lost my mind watching this episode. The previous girl who was always nearby them actually held some important power. Well, not that much important, tho, only as a driving force. I thought Asakaze can be change into a better person. But, looks like its not the case anymore. Because his role always used as a device to move the plot forward. Or no? While Nozomi left the compass behind, because of the fruit of the simultaneously-occurring power from the 'War' gun, looks like the rest will be back to solve the drift apart case. Hope so. Well, after Mizuho true power also been revealed. She couldn't see any death, which brought everyone into a stasis state. Immortal. But, how its related to all of those drift apart return issue? If War was actually really death. But the later episode will be about the war, to defend what they believed. It will be a big irony. I think this is more confusing than the previous simple sol moment wandering around the different kono sekai. I know that they need to clear out and conclude the story asap, because the time finally tickling the end. But not with that way! I can't accepting that Nozomi just fell off the cliff, while some 'empty' dude somehow turned into the damn revolver, not to mention now there's the compass. Also, whats up with that reaction, Aki-sensei? Not feeling well watching the double death scene? Ah, whatever. I may state nonsensical here, because i seriously have no fuckin idea. So, hopefully i don't lost my mind next week .... |

| Was always wondering why the most obvious, mind reading power isn't shown until now.Glad that this episode was rather straightforward and simple,atleast compared to some of the past episodes. The story now is in it's final stage,will be interesting to see how they will wrap this up |
 |
| Nice episode and revelations, I think that with this information they could tie the whole thing nicely. The chicken not dying and the manifest of War is enough to ground everything up and I loved the sentiment represented throughout the episode, at least it felt more than a set of abstract topics that have barely any sense, and finally they did something interesting with Asakaze. The insert song was strange though, didnt really fit the whole vibe of the episode |
mattnoce said: Ezail said: does that mean Nozomi is dead for real??Yes That world is special when people die in it they turn into an item that represents their power war became a gun which has the ability to presumably kill people while nozmai turned into a compass which was her power I hope she didn't TvT She was my favourite and I felt very connected to her becuase I think we have similar pesonalities |
Reelens said: _Alleria_ said: This was an interesting episode cuz it touches on the stagnation that they have to now live with. The whole go find war and kill him to introduce death idea. What happened to Nozomi? What does the killing of the chickens signify? Like they specifically point out which chicken is whose and it shows blood beneath both, but only one seemingly regenerates? Is this meant to compound the idea of the lack of death in the world or highlight a prerequisite by having only one die? It means Mizuho's power is the ability to deny death. Her chicken doesn't die, but Nagara's does. It also means that she's the one who caused the drift, because living things she brings into the drift can't die, and that's why nobody dies. It's still somewhat unclear, but this probably means that the entire story so far has been caused by her, possibly as a reaction to witnessing someone's death (Nozomi's death maybe?) We no longer know what Nagara's role was/is. I really like your theory, but if Nozomi has the ability to deny death, but Nagara's chicken dies, does it mean that Nozomi's power only works on things that she owns? Or things that she specifically doesn't want to see dead like her chicken? |
| Consistently the most interesting and demanding show this season. Big on ideas. I'm really curious how they wrap it all up or if there will a S2. |

| Another great episode. Much of this episode was about Nozomi's friend who has the power to read minds. Ms. Aki is as menacing as ever. We find out more about Asakaze's character. I'm glad he got another layer of depth. Also I think we are extremely close to solving the puzzle about why they went adrift. The way this episode wrapped up with the chicken experiment was a nice touch. |
| That was a fantastic episode, it was probably the most straightforward episode so far more or less, but still pretty surreal. Man, I wouldn't want to have that "Monologue" ability unless it's exclusively used in battle or something. Using that ability in your daily life would fucking suck bad. But for an episode mostly focusing on a character we didn't think would get focus, it was fantastic. I really like the Monologue girl (I do not know her name), and honestly, she took other peoples thoughts like a champ. As expected, Asakaze likes Nozomi, but he an ass though. At least we can all agree that Aki-sensei's oppai is nice, that's the only thing good about her though. Is she working with the principal guy? Also, what was Mizuho's purpose then if all the cats were doing the work? There's also Hoshi, we don't know what that guy is up to all this time. Then there's also our boy Raj. I wonder if Nozomi died there (again) or she just got sent somewhere in that void. Man, I got a lot of questions lmao. The last 2 episodes are probably gonna be wild, looking forward to it. |
 |
| I don't know if I have said this in a previous episode: I think Asakaze is really pretty, but I want to punch him! lol. If we just look at him physically, I can see why someone would have a crush on him, but his personality sucks! And, Tsubasa knows that even his mind sucks! So, I don't know why she likes him. The Tsubasa's power is actually quite nice. But, I can understand it being stressful. Aki-sensei was able to know the Tsubasa's power. She also said her own power is the exact opposite. Does that mean she can put thoughts in people's heads? Nozomi, oh god, is she dead? I don't think so. But, assuming she is, does Nagara know about it? Is that why he killed a chicken? They talked about Sensou again, so I was slightly worried that they would all start growing the crystals. I feel like I should re-watch previous episodes and collect the clues. haha. It's fun to have theories before the mystery is solved. |
