(L+CR) Punchline (Noitamina)

[bastek66]

Knowing how cancerous tumblr is, they will love this plot twist.

Also, CR translations is so shitty. All "Yuba" should be "Über"

[ChampDream]

What? so many things happen this episode, I think Yuta being a girl take the cake here, more than future Yuta being the spirit that took his body. So the cat knew everything?

[Nvis]

So there will be a "new" Yuta ghost?

Still can't imagine how Yuta can divert an Asteroid.

Don't tell me Yuta is Chiyoko?

Yuta being a girl was a bigger plot twist. The other one was predictable a month ago:

Most of the twists in this episode were pretty predictable, if quite game-changing... but "u-turn" and the big thing about Yuuta's identity was not.

Quit with this shit, thanks

Most interesting and logical theory that all three kids got their bodies switched. Look at their eyes.
Chiyoko (black haired girl) is in Guriko's body (pink hair) and lives now as Mikatan
Pine (white haired boy) is in Chiyoko's body (black hair) - Yuu(ta)
So the terrorist/older Pine must be controlled by Guriko.

Also, Yuu-tan = U-turn and Mika-tan = strange juice.

What the Eff Yuta's a girl?

I know the seiyuu is girl but a genderbent Tomboy twist?!

That just made my brain hurt.

I had a sneaking suspicion that was the case, if we go by process of elimination, as the flashback was reminisced by Yuta. (White haired guy in bus is Pine, Pink girl who's been with us all these time is Guriko, and therefore Black haired person is Chiyoko)

Of course, Yuta the ghost might really be Pine and he's just taking over Chiyoko's body (if the body switching theory is true), but as much as I would love that to be true, Miyazawa Kenji did say for Yuta to return to his own body. As much as I hate to admit it, I guess Yuri wins again this time around. :/

...unless Yuta makes a heroic sacrifice in the end. Then it would be a draw, or maybe even last man standing heehehhee.

I just rewatched the Yuba labs flashback scene and I have to say, I believe you're onto something here. The eyes are definitely different. But makes you wonder - if Yuuta is not Yuuta, why does his spirit look like his body?

Also, WTF is up with that bear cub? He was created to help Qmay regenerate... what? What IS it exactly?

Spoiler for Episode 6:

Wow, this episode is confusing but so fun to watch. What made me surprised is that Yuuta turned out to be a reverse trap with flat chest and could be Chiyoko with short hair all along. I have never been tricked with wrong expectations on a particular anime plot device for a while and turned out it could be at least an harem led by the reverse trap, looks like we found a winner this season that could put Nisekoi to shame. Not to mention, it's already obvious that she could make an happy ending when her future self gives her the Nandala Gandala (which she's been looking for).

Most of the twists seen in this episode are predictable and I already made some theories out of it long ago and it fulfilled more or less my expectations.

Once the show ends, I think I'll miss this ride so great if the writer could make everything being tied up in a cohesive way that leads to a satisfying ending.

Basically there was no super surprising fact except Yuta's sex.
In this ep, Yuta was just like Okabe Rintaro of Steins;Gate (ep 23).
Though, Punchline's world look like a many-worlds interpretation unlike Steins;Gate.
After watching ep 6, I want to play the game.

[prototype_sky]

Always wondered how a dude could be living in an all girl house and not be the landlord or the landlords relative.

[Benigmatica]

Episode 6:
What, is Yuuta a girl... and his (her) body is possessed by Yuuta from the past!? God, now I'm confused on whether to call Yuuta a boy or a girl!

Still, (s)he did some asskicking against the Qmay's leader possessing Ito's "creepy" teacher!

[SeijiSensei]

I'm still having a hard time liking this show even after the highly-touted episode six. I just don't really care about the characters, and the plot is too disjointed and silly to make that my primary motivation for watching. I may finish this just to finish it, but it won't be making my top-ten noitaminA list.

[Kanon]

Yuta's body being possessed by Yuta himself from the future was predictable, but I never saw the twist about his gender coming. My jaw dropped when Meika mentioned it. The idea just never crossed my mind, and I'm usually pretty good at picking out traps/reverse traps.

[Goty]

So everything Yuta learned up to this point was just gaining experience, as his real mission starts now. With his body and actually able to interact with everyone, he can make a difference, and the pieces of the puzzle shall fit together as the audience sees the events from his body's point of view this time. That's what's about to make his turn so interesting, as ghost-Yuta was always too helpless.
Man, i'm loving this show. And that's saying a lot, as my dislike for yuri is usually bigger than for harem series.

Yeah, since 'our" Yuta just took the body of the new-Yuta that will remain around, but bodyless. I bet Yuta will need his help eventually.

Could be the one thing that makes a difference this time. Yuta actually actively collaborating with his (her?) own ghost from the beginning.

[revive4563]

btw the teacher failed this time and actually he is a crazy stalker we can safely say that.
But after all, if there weren't the male's crazy imaginations in the history of the romantic love between male and female,
maybe most of romantic love wouldn't been generated.
Why is the romantic love for male so risky?
