----------------------------------------
Ghost heh...

The pacing of this series still feels pretty odd. We get some training or whatnot. It kinda reminds me of Blazblue...
I think they are putting budget into the action scenes but I'm not feeling it much. Tooru's skills in this episode doesn't impress me much either and neither does this show at this point.

Dat minigun though. And honestly, this show didn't take long to get someone killed already.

And I liked Sidune ;_;
Didn't expect there would be deaths for who seemed to be MCs in this series.
I'll give it a few more eps. It's not bad.

Well, we were told there would be deaths, but I didn't expect one so soon. Still, maybe that will make Tohru will realise that the battle is more important than chasing ghosts. Interesting though they may be, he really needs to set his priorities straight in battle.

Oh God. You even watched it? They have battle suits which can control gravity, is it really THAT confusing?! O.o Please, turn on your 'thinking' people :(

BTW I liked this episode, but that 3d in action scenes was SO awful.
General concept it great, I would prefer more 'talking' scenes than action, but still it is very good show.

Oh no, they killed Tohsaka Shizune! Wasn't expecting that but I guess this war needs some casaulties.

And it seems ghost girl is actually on the good side from the future while Timekeepers being bad. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they needed to cooperate with their 2015 self to overthrow them in the end. Still thinking what 'The future hasn't been determined yet' sentence means though.

I shouldn't be surprised that a MC died considering this is Urobutcher but I didn't see this coming at all....Twas pretty dramatic imo

This was definitely the best episode out of the three primarily because of how this episode went. We got to find out everyone's goals, we got more exposition, fun training scenes and the action scenes were really well done. This ghosts reveal is also pretty interesting

I'll stick with this series to the end because I've kind of started to like some of the characters and I want to see the fallout of Sidune's death....May she RIP :(

Nooooo.. Why the loli!? Why Sidune? ;_;
That was one fatal shot and I don't think she'll survive that. Kyouma must avenge her death, and very soon.

Action is still decent but the overall animation quality is still meh. However, the story is starting to get interesting.

Boom Sidune got hit and died. The pace does feel weird, first some training and then afterwards high speed action to finish the episode.

I watched this then to cheer myself up I watched the latest episode of Fate Stay Night. Long story short it didn't cheer me up. I guess today is not my day. Relating to how this show is going so far, the action has kept me coming back but I do feel this show lacks character development. We learned a little about our Tooru and why he is alone (no parents) but I felt it was just another cheap shonen excuse for being and orphan. Kyouka hasn't had much story building but I feel almost as if there is a hint of some development to come. I can't believe that at the end Shizune bit it. Her brother is not going to be happy. If they manage to pull of the drama right and give the characters a little more background it'll make the ride a lot more enjoyble. But man, that ending. I mean, she had a bowling ball sized hole blown right through her torso, I was not expecting this show to go there. Maybe I just wasn't getting the context. All together a fun show with potential to feel meaningful if they start right now.

This is one convoluted anime show. No doubt. It cannot tell what it wants to tell smoothly, & every explanation is more of a chore than a helpful thing. The writer really shows his inexperience here. And if Shizune really just died, then her death was an awful one(writing-wise).
I like anime.

This show is horrifyingly bad, boring idiocy awfulness.

Why does pink hair girl wear earmuffs with her combat uniform? Why does other girl look like a robot bunny? And dude's weird overly starched scarf thingy? The combat uniforms are so random and mismatched and ugly as hell. It's just all so incredibly first person shooter.
Quality Queen.

Tohru and his ability is interesting. I also like the action.
I was about to drop it, but then Sidune got killed for protecting Kyohma.
If I get confused one more time or the action steps down a bit, I will drop it.
But for now, I will keep moving on.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Wow, lots of action in this episode ... obviously both Tohru and Kyoko end up joining the fight. Must be weird to fight against themselves ... so Tohru's ability sure sounds complicated but basically he can change his position in relation to time ... or something??? O_O I didn't really understand their explanation lol >_<
Big battle with some huge weapons between the two sides. Their combat uniforms are so funny XD Tohru goes off to search for the ghost and gets some weird statements out of her ... Remy hears as well. He's a psychic by human experimentation? O_o Apparently Sidune is as well ... and she sacrifices herself for Kyohma :O At first I thought Kyoko was the one running towards him but ... wow, that was fast if she died already. I guess we'll see what happens next episode! :O

Really, am I supposed to care about this character?
If I was, they have to do a better job fleshing out their cast of characters.

Still on the fence though, I'll give it another episode of this 'Meh' show.
