After finding out that Kayne of Amagi Brilliant Park has a step sister who his father spoils and treats very lovingly while he left his ass with a cruelia d vile like mother because he was only staying with her to mooch off of the money and fame Kanye got as a child actor, I'd be rather upset.

Thankfully Kanye holds no ill will towards his sister and they have a healthy relationship.

>>139013770

This put Haruhiko's power into a completely new perspective. He's able to create a sentient, individual, free-thinking being with his powers unconsciously AND multiple of them at the same time.

It's not that he's not using them properly, majority of his power was being sapped because of Ruru.

>>139014543

This show is actually getting good now. I dropped it at episode 2. Not because of the incest, but because now there's an enemy that's actually a challenge.

>>139016694
There's no filler here, all the other episodes are relevant to how they all behave later on in the show

That drama part, is it no surprise to those who've watched the other episodes, that there's barely any infighting, and that they're rather cohesive now? Compared to the first episode, the eight they not only were more competent but everyone actually cheered for them. In the first episode everyone just wants to laugh at how hard would the main pair fail.

>>139016694
Index is just meh, either watch Railgun or read the LN, which is the other way for this show, the adaptation is superior to the generic LN

Enigmama is literally the ideal mother, at least when she's pretending. If I had a mom that perfect I'd gladly live with her for the rest of my life. Mai is a more realistic, strong independent type mom, basically my mom only not as hot.

Wait, what was the point of spending time with Haruhiko if she could've just taken his powers at any time?

This. It was all actual buildup through episodic character arcs and mostly comedy and SoL. Then the plot kicked in, and all the plot points were actually hinted at from the start. Even the episode last week was there to give a glimpse at his past and his abandonment issues and lack of a mother figure in his life.

Can't skip her, they made her to explain that whole mind over matter stuff that's important in the sixth, seventh and the eleventh episode. Hell, the eleventh episode even needs her at the beginning anyway, and I'm surprised that she's smart enough to somewhat figure out who shota Haru is. I'd argue that this makes her more relevant than Reina too.

They also need another mini pair, Mai/Koito and Kurumi/Reina, even official arts started to gravitate to this.

>>139018847
Can't skip Koito either, they need her to show the messed up part about having these abilities early on in childhood. Also we need more tomboy bullying and this show delivers dammit.

>>139017628
That's your shit opinion man.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable this show was because I'd assumed it would be another generic harem-esque school magic LN adaptation. It gets shit on because the sort of people who like garbage picked it up thinking it was more of the same only to find that it appeals to a completely different crowd, which ironically didn't pick it up because they thought it appealed to the other crowd.

Why is Albrecht so shit? He ruined the whole Bearsode.

>>139019127
Kiznaiver, that new Trigger show next season will have a loli who shares the same VA as Kurumi

Incest is wrong! It killed Ruru.

>>139019144
I knew that shot was coming, but the execution wasn't overdone in how the scene and music shifted, and Mai's reaction was perfect. But yeah, it makes me wonder how well a horror anime potentially could be done. There's great horror manga and games, but not much in the way of anime.

And leave the episodic retards alone. They're just mad it isn't some generic battleharemshit serious business LN like Raildex or whatever else got brought up in this thread.

The sad part is, the only reason Ruru even exists is to fuck with us. She's not in the books, she never existed.
That means that they could kill her if they wanted to, and no one would even be able to mourn because she was a figment of our imaginations.

>>139019609
It's a power she stole from one of the boys, and since she possessed mom, she can use it as mom. She also uses Stocking's trident and water powers from the other bitch angels.

This reminds me of back when the Baccano light novels weren't translated, and some guy would come in the threads and tell us shit and give us summaries. He was truthful, up to a certain point, and then he just went off the fucking walls with fanfiction, but since no one had read them except him no one was able to call him out on it.

I only realized recently since there were finally translated and half of the shit he said didn't come true, he was literally just making up fanfictions half the time.

You are all assuming Ruru was made by Haruhiko, but what if the twist is that she was somehow linked to his mom? Seems one of the best ways to built her redemption. For unknown reasons she had to keep her distance, but left Ruru to watch over him.

Ruru obviously know nothing about it.

Vol 2 summary
>Later on, we see an adult Haruhiko fight in a war against Phantoms. Unable to kill the Phantom Rupa (girl on left), she goes on to eradicate two-thirds of the human population. What's left of humanity lives in the underground city of Gehenna. Haruhiko blames himself for the apocalypse with Mai, Reina, and others as his mental supports. As his friends fall one by one, Haruhiko swears that even if he gives his soul to the devil, he will eradicate the Phantoms. As he is swallowed by the darkness of revenge, Haruhiko rises to use a forbidden ability in hopes to finally end the struggle

Phantom World is fucked up.

Final episode time. I can't believe Kyoani actually made the /ss/ real but I can't say I'm not pleased.

To address some of the stuff that happened in this episode

Instead of Ruupa we got Enigma but the plot line was virtually the same. Ruupa was a power stealing shape shifting crazy vampire, Enigma is a power stealing mind jacking crazy vampire. Ruupa shapeshifts into Mai, Enigma mindjacks Haruhiko's mom etc. One key difference though is that Enigma manages to successfully steal Haruhiko's power in the anime, Ruupa doesn't manage to steal Haruhiko's power until volume 2. So I have no idea what Enigma is planning to do with his power this early, find out together next week. Ruupa also stole powers with kisses but I didn't want to mention that since people would probably go >Kyoani, >Kisses. Anyway, in the LN Ruupa actually kisses Mai in the first encounter and Reina in the second one. Shousuke somehow gets kissed offscreen inbetween this.

So why call her Enigma instead of Ruupa in the anime? Well I can't really explain this change until next episode but I've been speculating for a while that they reworked Ruupa into Ruru. The thing about Ruupa is that she is actually a phantom Haruhiko summoned as a child as a replacement for his mom, which is what Ruru might be. The bad thing is that Haruhiko's overwhelming desire for a mother kind of made Ruupa into a crazy person. Haruhiko's memory of this was removed and Ruupa was confined inside Alayashiki until she breaks out near the end of volume 1. Ruru isn't crazy like Ruupa though so I suppose they needed Enigma for the ending.

Haruhiko's mom never comes back in the LN, I have no idea what kind of woman she is but most people in the LN consider her a pretty bad person. Haruhiko's dad is pretty cool though.

Still a few other twists left but we'll watch together how it turns out in the anime

And like I promised last time I'll post the spoilers for the other volumes after the finale

Haru and Enigmom's fight needs to end in the angriest, most hateful hatesex possible.

>>139022975
Fringe theory, episode 12 started with Haruhiko and Ruru talking about humans creating phantoms and Ruru lost consciousness when Haruhiko did, but it's a red herring.
Enigma is the phantom Haruhiko created and as a result there's a kind of paradox where she's unable to steal his powers because doing so would erase her from existence.

Haruhiko is basically the Legendary Super Saiyan of ability users, so she goes for the "You wouldn't hurt your dear old mom, would you?" trick since she can't beat him.

I think they explain in the first episode that only children who were born after the not-Second Impact have them.

>>139022290
Actually yeah, that crossed my mind as another possibility. But like how would she do it? I guess she spends so much time thinking about Haru that her feelings turned into this phantom Ruru? And then why would Ruru pass out or die or whatever when the mom does? Surely there have been other times mom was unconscious or whatever. And why would she have that kind of connection with a spirit that was created from her feelings? That's not really established anywhere else. Ruru dying or whatever makes a lot more sense if Haru's power was actively summoning her and he lost that power.

>>139023432

Yeah, I don't believe it, but I just want it to be debunked again since Novelanon debunked a very similar version in one of the early Phantom World threads.

Was it Fukujun?

How high are the chances of seeing actual Cthulhu and Markosas in their true forms next episode? I'm guessing if Enigma summons them they'll be all leveled up.

>>139025231
Eh, maybe. It's probably an "in some ways but not others" type of thing.

If you look at something like KnK it's really obvious that they polished that turd like crazy. They took crappy cliche source material and directed the shit out of it. I'd be shocked if there was anything about it that wasn't improved by the process (except the movie of course, that was a fucking horror show).

But Phantom World is mostly just a blatant cash-grab. The LNs probably at least made attempts at nuance. I suspect Kyoani cut a bunch of that shit out to make room for more fan service filler, and thus make their product even more potent to its intended audience. They probably made it better in terms of its intended market, but does that actually make it a better product in this case? Depends on who you are, I'd say.

You can argue all day about the changes they made to the various characters, but I suspect the majority of their edits were cutting out failed attempts at drama and backstory in order to fit in more titties flopping around.

>>139025350
Also maybe Haru's powers will be stronger because he's no longer subconsciously burdened by maintaining Ruru.

You say fanservice filler, but fanservice really doesn't seem to be a big focus. There are plenty of episodes with virtually none, including some of the best ones. It's more like they just focused on animating the cute things (and occasional action scenes) they felt like they wanted to animate. Mediocre drama and backstory is a downer but mediocre cute things is forgettable at worst.

so I am just basing my response off of your interpretation.
If that's you, of course.

>>139018609

Even Kurumi's ep foreshadowed that his powers enabled him to cross over into other people's personal realities. Same with how easily he tapped into Mai's memories brig a facet of his powers.

And his abandonment issues were fresbadowed in the Phantom parents ep with Reina. People ignored how he empathize with Reina's desire for her family to be what it once was.

It's startling what they interwoved with an episodic show.

>>139026208
Too bad people actually encourage episode skipping.

>>139018932
>>139020416
Kurumi isn't even a character, aspies, but a cheap try to get lolicons into the show, too bad for them even lolicon don't bite such skinny bait, as Kyoani is notorious for never sexualizing their loli.

Neo lolicon please. True loli lovers don't need sexualization. As long as the girls are cute and innocent. Looks like Kurumi are very old school and only true oldfags appreciate her.

Leina's overprotective parents would end with her dying a virgin old maid.

Less episode skipping and more just not paying very much attention because this stuff isn't posted with big neon lights "pay attention to this now" and everyone was obsessed with just finding out about that device. Which ironically, the detractors missed the explanation by Koito in this ep about it jacking into an Alayashiki server.

So not episode skipping, just being too lazy to connect the dots is what people end up doing.

>>139027106

I think he wanted to, but that other anon's theory about him drawing a full size girl then getting a cute chibi version is probably right.

As someone who can actually read moon, take my advice and don't encourage idiots like him. Outside of people reading things incorrectly half the time, they're just attention whores who give you biased summaries of the parts they care about, and then threads turn into ESL-tier shit flinging parties like every other LN thread. Anyone who gives a summary or spoilers in an anime adaptation thread can fuck right off.

Her episode was a coming of age story for a child. It had the simplicity and whimsical nature to show that it was a child's mind, but the issue of finding courage isn't something only kids do. The entire thing looked and felt fantastic, and as you said, her OST theme was great. This entire scene was one of the best in the show.

I thought about it briefly, but wanted to believe they were going with the sadder option, which would be that it's his coping mechanism for being abandoned. The issue I can't figure out is why she goes away when he sleeps. It could be because he needs to be awake for her to be around, or it could be because she goes to his mom's house to tell her how he's doing. The only issue is that she'd be more aware of who the mom is. Then again, she was suspicious of her from the start, but we don't know if that's because she knows it's not the real mom, or just because she could kind of smell the phantom.

Why?

>It's startling what they interwoved with an episodic show.
I've always believed in Kyoani and they've almost never let me down. Despite the memes and shitposting, they actually are an amazingly talented studio who genuinely likes their work.

>>139026272
Anyone who encourages episode skipping for anything other than 300+ episode battle shouned adaptations with toei filler episodes is mentally retarded.

Ishihara actually researched illusion for Phantom World.

>>139028722
I'm sure they always do the appropriate leg work prior to animating a series.

>>139028834

He probably researched that too.

>>139028942
>Implying that wasn't researched years ago and all that's left now is specialized movement patterns and obscure literary references

Sure, why not?

Mai seems like the kind of girl who would become a single teenage mom

>>139029733
It's certainly obscure for a Japanese child.

>>139029136
Not even obscure for Americans. Read that shit in like the sixth grade

Bitch please, I read that in kindergarten.

My parents read it to me while I was in the womb.

Ruru is a phantom created by Harus mom, that watches over her son in her place.

As someone who had a great loving mother I find it uncanny that any mom whatsoever could do what Haru's mom did to him. Doesn't seem right that a mom who's supposed to be the epitome of unconditional love would ditch her son.

>>139030043
Mai isn't stupid to let something like that happen.

At least the contents were different.

The anime literally started with the theme of how perception changes reality.
Is this a blatant rip off?

That's a chaos;head pic right? Fucking wasted potential that was.

Enigma could've just take his powers whenever she wanted but she pretended to be his mom for a week. Why?

Read the novel.
Learn moon.
Read the sequel.
The potential was used brilliantly.
Those eyes are god's eyes.

>>139032226
To learn how they work and try to understand them, presumably.

>>139032226
because it likes being a cute mom?

>>139032226
Maybe she has an incest fetish.

>>139032226
She literally told you: she was just riding it out to see how long she could. The whole thing was just a game to her and time makes betrayal all the sweeter.

Ruru is Haru's real mother. His "mom" just couldn't deal with the fact that Haru's dad fucked a fairy and got her pregnant.
