| Yuri's gender change is something to get used to. What a change though lol Jonas is someone that I didn't pay too much attention to at first but he did have his own agenda after all. Felt like a buildup episode |
 |
| “It’s all your fault. My angel” Absolute banger of an episode. We finally got what we should’ve had all along, Yuri as a girl 🤣 I know they went with a non binary character for a reason, but man I really liked how different this loop was because of her being a girl. Changing genders changes the way people interact with you and the sides of themselves that they show you. For example, Yuri normally has this really flirtatious relationship with SQ where SQ teases her, but in this loop they felt more like siblings/best friends. She normally has a standoffish relationship with Sha-Ming, but I kinda shipped them today ngl lol. I can’t lie I got a little anxious in that kissing scene tho because I thought Shaming might actually try and fuck Yuri, but luckily Yuri is a good judge of character and he didn’t try anything. That ending was wild tho. One minute there’s a killer slime on the loose eating everyone, the next, it’s all smiles and optimism for there being at least ONE world line out there where everyone gets a happy ending. We were so close today, rip Remnan and Shigemichi 🥲 great episode, hopefully we get more episodes with some gender twists! |

| Was this in the game or original? I don’t remember this(not that I complain) |
| Sorry Gnosia Anime, I wasn't familiar with your game. The idea of the MC getting gender swapped upon shifting timeline to collect male-exclusive events is very creative, same scriptwriter as Steins;Gate so no wonder. This episode is also lore-packed, besides the slime incident, there're also that Racio shower scene, Remnan and SQ's secret, and Kukrushka's other body. Guess most people overlook this detail: SQ refers to herself as "SQ-chan" when she is human, meanwhile she uses the pronoun "atashi" every time being Gnosia. |

Fisico said: Finally an episode where they took advantage of the anime format vs the game, they did it out a contrived plot twist by having "Comet going into cold sleep by accident" (how the hell can it even happen, it's ridiculous lol, they could have just fast forward a turn 1 vote on Comet) but that made for an interesting twist. Setsu's sacrifice is a bit on the ridiculous side in the way it's animated, not the first nor the last thing that looks really awkward when translated into an anime in this story though @talortoo : The gender change is original, the events aren't. (SQ/Remnan bullying, Slime when Comet is in cold sleep, the Sauna ending) The game allowed you to pick your gender but there was no switch in a playthrough (and the gender had next to 0 impact on the writing) Ok tnx I forgot we even had the option to choose gender lol |
| I really detest how the anime is handling the Yuri/Setsu relationship. This should be the heart of the anime, yet their interactions are constantly like two people who only just met. Every time Yuri wakes up and Setsu is there they talk like what Yuri's saying is weird, despite Setsu knowing precisely what is happening. It's just baffling to me, especially when it should be thing that ties the loops together. By making it so standoffish they've lost a key part of the game without seemingly gaining anything. I thought it was starting that way so they could slow the arc of them bonding, but we're almost half-way and they've done nothing. I wouldn't have minded the slime being more visceral as well. Unlike the Kukrushka episode, they didn't go any further than the game here and that feels like a waste. The change in Yuri's perspective with their gender change was interesting, precisely because it's the kind of thing the game doesn't (and can't) do. I wish they'd gone all in on that. Really, that's kind of my theme with this anime so far, I wish it would commit more to doing and showing the things that the game can't. |

| Banger episode, I like how we are getting more into the lore of the characters and the different endings now that we have gone through many episodes of the actual game. What's confusing to me is why did Comet's slime go out of control? The other times she was put into cold sleep, the slime did not react like that. I also agree with @Quitch that the Setsu relationship is weird. The basis of them not talking to each other about the loops was that they "both could be Gnosia". I can understand that, you see Yuri talking to Racio because he is a confirmed human. But then... Yuri reveals to Sha-Ming about the loops even though Yuri knows that he's a Gnosia?? The only reason I could see Setsu saying Yuri "must be still confused" at the beginning is because she must have seen Yuri as a female in another loop but doesn't want to divulge that information? Or else I can't quite understand why she would still be acting that way now that they both always know they're looping together. I really liked the gender swap, it shows how differently things can go depending on one's gender. Shigemichi doing his chad face will never not be funny LMAO! Loving this series, can't wait for next week. |

| @Rafael2AMerlo It's Comet. If you still haven't noticed, both her and Shigemichi are idiots. |

| SQ forgot to comment on Racio's anatomy in the shower, as she does in the game. Racio is male. talortoo said: Was this in the game or original? I don’t remember this(not that I complain) The scene in Sha-Ming's room is new. I don't like it much. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| Racio gender reveal let's go |
| I thought Yuri was going to learn about Remnan since she came across SQ tormenting him. So the new ED is not just for the episodes Yuri is a Gnosia. |

| @thewiru lmao XD poor Kometto-chan (but you're right) |
| Of course the big break from the script this time had to be from Comet being Comet. Bless her soul. The fact Sha-Ming managed to earn Yuri's faith in his character beyond loops and Gnosia infections is beautiful. It's like knowing the werewolf/mafia player who loves to trashtalk is a good dude outside of the game. |
| Sha-ming proves he's the best character in the show, yet another time. |

I saw some people mention it's cool they're "shaking up the rules" but they're not shaking them up they're just ignoring or changing them entirely with no explanation of why. What started as strict rules have turned to suggestions which feels cheap. And why is Yuri now just talking about looping with everyone? I had to make sure I didn't skip an episode because it's so random. And as another said the fact Setsu and Yuri are supposed to be gathering info but don't consistently work together seems like a waste.

Because they acted like it was some big secret until now with no mention of it to anyone not involved. I'd be open to it if it was led up to at all but it just blatantly cut to the end of the discussion with someone who has only antagonized Yuri to this point and then casually dropped it during other discussions with another character like they already knew this info. This show does a lot of that specifically where it skips the explaining to make room for a scene it wants to show but leaves holes all over the place.
Edit: Forgot about the previous Raquio conversation in Eps. 2
| @WestOnAndrewAve Dude. Yuri confided in Raqio in episode 2 and got some very useful knowledge out of it. Raqio is aware of the existence of organisms like the Silver Key, so talking to him about it is easy. |

| this is getting really boooooooooring I haven't seen epic plays in either roles, Yuuri is so boring, Setsu is also boring |

| Given the name, voice, and overall look of the character (plus the show focussing on gender a bunch) I was kinda expecting this from the beginning (actually though he was a girl at the beginning). Didn't really add anything unfortunately, no real tension with Sha-ming since we already went through that loop. Only question is how are dolls getting infected with Gnosia? I see Crunchyroll already has this listed for next season too. Not sure I can watch another season of this. |

| When Jonas entered the room at the end, I expected another creepy ending. Glad to see it turned out comedic instead. What's up with Remnan? He ran away from some abusive woman, I get that. But why do every other woman wants to bully him? Kukrushka, a doll, murdered everyone for him. Now SQ was up to something. Wtf. |
| @-_-NyxCiara-_- I love this anime, but it's not perfect, and your misunderstandings highlight the shortcomings of this adaptation. There are 2 things you've gotten completely wrong through no fault of your own. 1. The Gnosia want to kill, no exceptions. Even the Gnosia who give themselves up do it for other reasons. In this episode, for example, everyone Sha-Ming would have killed had already been killed by slime. 2. Sha-Ming has crazy defensive stats and is among the characters LEAST likely to be voted into cold sleep (e.g. groveling), even though he is annoying and Setsu hates him. The anime is trying way too hard to turn him into a good guy. But you seem to understand the pros and cons of sharing the secret of the Silver Key. As the anime has shown, there are basically 2 instances in which the protagonist talks to non-loopers about loops. 1. The Gnosia hunt has ended, and the protagonist has formed a bond with one of the survivors. 2. Someone has information crucial to solving the mystery, and shares it in exchange for the protagonist's knowledge on loops. We've seen this with Racio. |
