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.

Told Marssu not to stand out, ends up standing outside herself. Shirogane really does lack self awareness.

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'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...)

We need the circus part of the title, specially that vision in the first chapter...


That ending....

Masaru was indeed way too pushy but his heart was in the right place, and she herself seemed happy to join so I was fine with it in the end. It definitely could have been handled better though.

I don't think anyone is debating the fact that Shirogane will be part of the circus, but Masaru did sort of just push her into all of that rather abruptly.

I'm guessing it was probably clearer in the manga that Shirogane enjoyed being in the circus and that Masaru understood that to a much better extent than what was shown here.

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.

Shirogane is voiced by Megumi Hayashibara. That's Masaru's VA.

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

Karakuri Circus voice actress Chihiro Ueda is working her way to the highest point in the big top. Ueda starred in a video titled "Chihiro Ueda's Road to Be Ring Master" where she attempts master the trapeze, not unlike Shirogane in the anime series. It's a hard road though, and Ueda has zero experience with acrobatics of this sort.

Not that I wouldn't love to see Hayashibara-san on a trapeze.

Me either. Never too late to start, right?

Anyway, Chihiro Ueda certainly didn't pick the easiest act. Trapeze is super hard. I would've picked juggling instead

The shit hit the fans in this series really fast this week, the massive plot twists and developments were brutal and show why the automatas were so sketchy...now come the big now.

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.

With episode titled Hell, you knew it going to be dark.
