What a silly fight on the beach.

I kinda like that Toriko girl this episode. She seems to get along with Kukuri and Nike. Also, I think Kukuri looked really adorable in her blue outfit. The world traveling had these two meet bizarre characters as usual.

The most serious episode so far.

Felt really melancholic from the beginning and it felt off for sure and then getting to know that there is indeed time rewind in place.

Loved the theme of moving on and how they broke through was also innovative.

Have to agree though that the Goddesses of Time and the headband was meh. Shouldn't have introduced both in the first place and it would have been a better conclusion than that.

I loved the atmosphere that they made for this episode, it made you feel that something was not right in the same way that the protagonists began to feel it, they did not waste time to leave some morals.

It was melancholic and quite hearthwarming.

I loved the OST that sounds in the library when the pages start flying.

They cut all the comedy scenes from the manga to compact everything in just 1 episode, but i think they did an awesome job

just look at this:

This was most definitely the most unique episode yet. It was super cool seeing the show change up its pacing and art direction to tell a Ground Hog day type story.
What.

Well look at that, you don't need most of a whole fucking season to tell another version of Groundhog Day, one episode is plenty enough...

One of my favorite episodes! It reminded me of Endless Eight at first.

That piece when they broke through the wall is fantastic, it will be definitely my most awaited piece from the soundtrack that comes in December.

Holy mother of rush.

It was definitely a creative adaptation that managed to imply the time loop since the very beginning, but was also definitely too fast.
They managed to keep the character development of Kukuri, but everything else was cut away: the entire premise was cut out and the astrologian Garnier didn't appear at all.
Even Miucha's parents appears from just a single scene to give the amulet without any buildup. The Deus ex machina was painful.
Not to mention the Kita-Kita Oji-san, that materializes from nowhere since his presence on the island wasn't showed at all (they could at the very least show something like him dancing during the repeated battles) and then just disappears...

I can't say I'm satisfied: it was my favourite arc from the manga and it felt way too rushed.


The last scene was the very beginning of volume 14, so 3 volumes to adapt and 4 episodes.

It's Alicia's voice! Oh wait wrong anime

Oh no, it's endless eight all over again
Well.. at least it's not taking 8 episodes

Nice words, Kitakita ossan!
And they forgot someone when they left the island.. Probably just my imagination xD

What a nice timing, I just got this item to correct thing.. And now it's gone

Next ep, they'll encounter Giri

This episode has the least laughs and the most serious episode as of yet! plus no OP2 from Oresama...
3/5.

Totally different vibe this episode, still had some comedic elements to it but way less then previous episodes.

Ironically a rpg parody anime has done a better job with the trapped in time concept then some anime that are based around that concept lol.

Even though i still liked this episode, i like it more when it's just goofy/hectic.

*Flashbacks to the Endless Eight* ha..

This might just be my favorite episode so far, though I'd have to rewatch the entire series to be sure
