Shirogane made a hell of an impression at school lol
The episode was alright. Felt bad for Masaru at getting bullied but he's taking it cool. On the comical side, I find it funny that Shirogane wanted to not stand out yet pretty much got the opposite result.

ahahhah, my god, after the serious episode last week.
This episode being a slice of life school comedy had me cracking up. Died when Shirogane was wondering what to do for the gym class, and slam dunks herself thru the basketball hoop. XFD.

I think she is and is trying to pass as a teenager, rather like Dorothy in Princess Principal.
I found this episode rather under-whelming myself, especially in comparison to the first four. You'd think they could find at least have bought a matching uniform for Shirogane.

I disagree with you all.

I'm not big on the way Masaru pushed her into a circus. He should at least have talked to her about it instead of deciding by himself she even wanted to be part of one. Especially since circus life is hard. (Though maybe not as hard as the life of a warrior puppet master...)

So it turn out the dude is still alive. It was still in the back of my mind how preposterous it was that only his arm would remain like that but in all honesty any attempt to explain this would be just as preposterous if you think about. The whole Masaru bullying thing was kind of overdone but Shirogane's misadventures in a high school girl life did make me lol at several moments. Ironic that a character whose entire current pathos is about not being able to laugh is also currently the largest source of comedy. Totally didn't peg her as highschool aged though (I hope she's not pretending).

I was afraid Narumi would get brainwashed, but even though he did lose his memories, his personality is still exactly the same and he's been recruited by the good guys. Although how good they are is debatable given how Shirogane was treated as a child and them looking pretty fishy, there are people far worse than them around. I didn't expect Zonapha syndrome to have this much relevance to the overall story.
I guess this episode marked the beginning of the main story, what happened previously could be considered the prologue.

Shirogane's voice actress, Ueda Chihiro, tried her hand at the trapeze in this promotional video.
https://youtu.be/uc2d8gHvWJQ?t=423 She resembles Shirogane as well with her short hair, round face, and pointed chin.

Thanks. The ANN piece didn't make that clear.

Wow. That was just dark, man. That hospital is all kinds of fucked up. Did not see that coming at all.
It seems this ZONAPHA syndrome might have some fantastical element to it, which is definitely a good sign for me (since it definitely doesn't make sense logically otherwise). I didn't expect it to be something that could spread though. Sounds like something Batman's Joker would come up with (or I guess some really fucked up Circus managers) But seriously, that hospital could do with an Occupational Therapist. And some kind of staff rotation system.

Yep, that hospital is pretty fucked up.
By the way, didn't Narumi say his grandpa (or was it his father?) suffered from Zonapha too? The Midnight Circus may have been around for quite some time.
