THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I continued to enjoy the "Life is hard and now it's hard for you too" element of things. I'm amazed that crazy lady didn't die in the collapse in the previous episode (which would have been cooler) but I'm glad that we're done with her. I'm not sure what Monomakia she is using to always be within 20 feet of Marin, but it was getting old.

On that note, the whole "Now I can transform thing" is cool, though I hope it doesn't mean that the whole blind thing was just a half of an episode gimmick, as that is somewhat insulting to us the audience. A "You can see when you are off saving the world, but will live your life as a blind girl the rest of teh time" thing would be pretty neat, and relatively unique.

Still, despite a new influx of cutesyness (which I have resigned myself to accepting as just part of this show) it seems to be continuing to be pretty intense. I look forward to seeing where it will go from here.

oh my god a Melan Marin
this show has everything
that Monomakia Cosmos might probably the most hax thing

you know, it'd be really interesting if Marin really did die
that would leave a very big impact by the end

WTF IS MARIN GONNA DIE?????

It's really sad how Marin is the one who doesn't want anyone to get hurt, the one who doesn't want anyone else to die...but then nobody else holds the same values, and they all want her to die :(

This show is so depressing :''''(

Wow... they hit Marin with the Katejina Loos treatment. Except how the episode ended is how Katejina should have been treated.

Murder Mom is gone! Its devastating, but Marin had already lost her sight. Its enough punishment. Murder Mom should go after that bitch that still keeps going after Marin. She didn't lose anybody but she still wants to kill Marin. Introduce HER to your knife Murder Mom.

Pro tip. Following intense, devastating tragedies with a panty shot takes away the power of the scene. I get balancing sorrow with humor, but this show reaches new levels.

I love that Marin got what real robot show main characters should get for practicing pacifism. One of these writers is not a fan of irrational neutrality.

Also shout out to a literal Deus ex Machina saving the main character.

This show gets major points for being unpredictable. What will happen to the funny world?!

Found this anime great up till now, but the ending of this episode was a bit contrived. Marin obviously presumed that Skia's flying death band was an extension of his consciousness, rather than merely a posthumous, autonomous trap — but she didn't encounter Skia beforehand, so that seems like a far-fetched conclusion on her part that was shoehorned in for the sake of dealing her a grievous injury and establishing a cliffhanger moment.

On the other hand, despite this series switching tone between tragic drama and humour on a whim, it still seems entirely organic to me. Marin's proneness to moments of fantastical daydreaming, the general alien nature of the setting and the unpredictable direction of the story may play a part in preventing too much tonal dissonance. Marin isn't a real "princess of Brigadoon", but she's very much capable of operating on a different wavelength to her peers at this point.
