| Well things went "keikaku doori" for Heartseed this episode. And, while he may be a trolling bastard, he's a trolling bastard with a heart of gold. Anyway, great episode. Inaba continues to be a cool character - this is the second episode in a row that has ended with her giving a great smile (even if this one was more evil than the last). Now I look forward to seeing how things play out from here. |
| Well Aoki finally confessed again and now seems he as more of a chance too. Damn that Heartseed is either a genius or a genuine asshole. Can't really decide yet. For those who want to be spoiled about future parings and such can go here. Don't know how creditable the people on Anime Suki are, but thats where I found out that Iori wasn't gonna die. Yahoo, no more body swapping and now the inter most desires will be revealed next :P |
| That smile. |

Iori bitches about something EVERY HUMAN BEING DOES (putting on different masks, liking different things, acting different around different people) like it's something special. I know the problems stems from her mother and all having many husbands. I don't know. Angry. Wanted death. Got nothing. Bleh. :/ |
  |
| the series got a little better, still not great yet |
 |
| TROLOLOLO.God, i swear i wanted to freaking kill Heartseed.I mean before doctor said eveything is ok...after that i was laughing, because this bastard got me teary-eyed with his super trolling lvl 9000. It felt weird seeing Taichi and Inaba kissing.I know it was Iori, i know...but it just didnt look right. Im still afraid Inaba wil confess or kiss Taichi at some point and Iori will see it ._. that's why i can't get much to like Inaba, but well, we will see. 5/5 total troll. |

| MAXIMUM TROLLING! The episode was so wild it was all over the place and so are my feelings TBH. Here is what I though in a random comment style. First of all this is a dangerous type of anime for me I have found out. No matter what it will work rather nasty on me. When Heartseed did the following to Inori,  I RAGED SO HARD! It Over 9000 and more. I swear I gripped my monitor paused to Heartseed’s face on that guy and I was to crush it! I was so willing to go inside the anime when I saw Inori in the spoiler That being said it was totally dramatic in the following,  THAT KISS! OH SHIT! Inaba’s first kiss stolen by Taichi and Inori did for not having a choice in this situation. Still now it’s more clear as to why in the future things happen the way they do or should I say why Inori would have a guilty now. Truly a bastard of trolls that Heartseed. The emotions in the spoiler Those 2 were the most outstanding parts along with the BGM keeping on edge all the time. This certainly is the best EF TROLL style I have seen. This could be a dangerous trend of an anime for me. I don’t like being trolled emotionally. Suffice to say I would still KILL HEARTSEED! I would exorcize his sorry ass to nothingness if I could. BASTARD! I have hatred till he is gone for him. Other than that the beginning in the spoiler What follows in the spoiler That being said the bridge part in the spoiler So in thee end I really want Heartseed dead for what he did. I don’t accept this trolling of his and he should GTFO out of existence with his playing around. This was truly the best emotional ride for me so far. F ALL, 10/10 SCORE UP! No questions asked this now is a Master Piece of Emotional Trolling. A unique approach indeed. I will leave it at that. |
| this one was a rollercoaster off emotions. First that heart-to-heart talk with yui and whats his face (and the 3 others conveniently eavesdropping). Then Iori posing as Inaba and Taichi running after her. He finally confesses and she was made to jump off the bridge. From that point on I wanted to kill heartseed, rip him to shreds and feed them to bloodthirsty werehamsters. Up until I finally found out he trolled us. Damn, getting teared up for nothing. Highlights: ofc the kiss between Taichi and Iori/Inaba, and later Inaba's evil smile and Taichi's reaction to it. Also, Inaba continues to be the best char <3 |

| Heartseed you damn TROLL!!! |
 |
| Heartseed spouts some hypocritical nonsense. He saved the cell phone, while sending Iori to the ICU, wasting the hospital staff's time, and causing everyone around her to worry. Then he claims he wouldn't cause trouble for innocent people. I felt his character would have done better in the extremes of a seriousness spectrum, but they went with some awkward middle ground. Other than that, it was a fine episode. |

| Huhu~ I really really really like this episode! :( So much emotions. It's like I'm watching already the ending.. I'm so happy that Iori didn't die... Huhu~ So many emotions.. I can't understand myself at all. While I was watching this episode, when they were saying that Iori will die, I was thinking I'll stop watching this series then coz my fav. character here is IORI only... and I'm so happy about the end.. haiii.. :))) It played my feelings |
| Saturday of drama!!!!!!! T‿T!!! |
| i figured this was all just for the guys entertainment. Should have realized it when he gave the phone to tiechi that he means no one harm. Killing off characters would be pretty great twist if the directors wanted to take this anime to the dark side and mind fuk everybody. I could see alot of people getting pissed about that though next episode hurry up! |
| Wow what an emotional roller coaster! Heartseed went Jigsaw on their asses! No better way to learn to appreciate life than that I guess. I wonder how Iori and Taichi are gonna behave around each other now that all of their feelings are all out in the open. Are they gonna be a legit couple now? This anime is really shaping up to be one of the best this season! Can't wait for next week! |

I'd be sick with frustration if I was in their place, being unable to find Heartseed so I could choke the life out of him because of what he just did to Iori. |

| 5/5 goes without saying. Very powerful and emotional episode. Aoki is a very persistent fellow, in a good meaning. Good news. Yui seems to lower her guard down for him a little. I saw Iori acting Inaban coming from afar, but still very emotional when Taichi realized what happened, had to get hit and chased after her. Well, Taichi wasn't anywhere near wrong. Iori was obviously at wrong. I like Iori vs Taichi philosophical debate. Taichi wins by all means. He was handling Iori better than he did last episode and made a clear comments on Iori's worries. His confession was also lovely even though coming out of nowhere. Then the mastermind had to harm Iori. That was so damn hurt I wanted blow my monitor, but had to endure it to find out what happen next. They got to choose who to die. Even though I kinda know they will not let anyone die in someone else's body and also know Iori won't die, it's still a pretty smart move that leads to the following greatness. Taichi is a selfless selfish freak who is just like Inaban said, crazily gentle. Aoki is strong enough to say and to do what they had to do. The switching talks just proved the strength of their friendship. Iori resolved herself and ready to move on, but she won't hold Taichi to her death. While they were at the greatest peak of the arc, Inaban talking in Iori's accent was just an EPIC WIN. And they even kissed too! I'm on both Iori and Inaban sides, so this is PURE EPIC WIN for me. Finally, for the trollage, I don't hold any grudge at him. Just like he said, they gained priceless experiences. DAT LAUGH! Appel_stroop said: So we're back to the question how the fuck does this show only score a 7.89 atm!? I mean sure it doesn't really mean anything and it should go up but it's just frustrating and retarded seeing this show having about the same score as Accel World for instance. (which isn't a bad show but no way it can compare to this) I couldn't care less about overall rating. This deserves 8/10 from me at least for now. And that is the highest score among the ongoing shows that I'm watching. I don't give more than 8 easily, especially for the unfinished shows. |

| OMG that was crazy awesome! |
| Oh god this was one of the best episodes I've ever seen. It's been a while since I've had all these different emotions felt so strongly in one episode |
 |
bregor said: It would be better if Iori died... Inaba is the best for Taichi! I'm an Inaba fan as well but...let's not wish death on the other character lol The way I see it, Taichi got a first kiss out of both Inaba and Iori, a double win imo :D |
| Heh, Yui gave Aoki the "it's not you it's me" line ;D As for Iori, I really wasn't expecting her to die. It seemed like that heartseed fellow wanted to expedite his experiment a little lol. He played them good :P Curious to see what happens next. |
 |
Ksa said: But Inaba and Taichi LOL If that happens then.......This anime is trash. Will be drop it like last week's garbage. |
| There were so many confessions this episode! It was nice watching Aoki and Yui's relationship develop a bit and I hope Yui's able to sort through her feelings before the series ends. I totally ship Taichi and Iori so I loved the scenes when they confessed to each other. But because they're not an official couple yet and they confessed rather early in the series (only 5 episodes in), there's plenty of room for things to change. I like Inaba a lot too but I'll be kinda disappointed if the love triangle starts tilting in her favor. I gained a lot of respect for Fujishima this episode too, that was very mature of her letting Taichi run after Iori after she realized she wasn't the one who could comfort Iori. It seems a little too good to be true that Heartseed won't be interfering anymore, but I won't mind if we don't get any more body swapping. I'm really interested in seeing how all the relationships continue to develop! There are so many interesting dynamics between the characters in the series. |

| EDIT: Oh, FOO. I just rewatched that scene - Inaba steps forward when Heartseed asks who it will be and first says "me", and for whatever reason I mis-read what she said next. Never mind. Ignore what I said. |

Never mind.I don't quite understand what you mean here. I thought Inaba was the one who didn't want that because she knew Iori would feel horrible and could not live with having someone die in her place. |

Ksa said: But Inaba and Taichi WHY DID I OPEN THIS SPOILER.FK MY LIFE >_> Now i need to decide to drop this series or not.I mean if thats what happens, this series will be IMO a big joke, and i will just waste my time and anger. bregor said: It would be better if Iori died... Inaba is the best for Taichi! ...I have no words for you.It's pathetic wishing someone to die, just because you prefer her love rival. |

| Ohmygod. I am just screaming because feelings. The ending, ohmygod. I felt so much relief when I found out Inaba didn't die. So much expectations. The array of emotions that I felt while watching this was just. can I just put all my sighs here for this episode is just *u* |
| I wanted to ignore the fact that Iori was kissing Taichi in Inaba's body. At least Inaba did not get mad...but lets face it..she wanted her first kiss to be with Taichi : ) I still didn't like it, but w/e. Anyways, I don't know what will happen next. All I know is that I don't think Taichi really knows what he wants... I know in the past episode some people were diminishing Inaba's problem, but as it turns out, Iori's problem wasn't that much of a problem either. What Taichi said is completely true. However, there are people out there, including myself who have probably felt the same way as Iori and Inaba. They felt they had a problem, and until someone points it out, they don't realize that its not as big of a problem as they thought. Its easy for an outside party to see it, then it is for ourselves to see it. That's all I wanted to say... Great episode....Taichi x Inaba FTW |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |

| oh god the tears won't stop |
 |
| Best episode yet! I'm so glad I didn't read spoilers. It's way more epic if you don't know what's gonna happen. MY RATING WENT UP TO 9/10 :D My emotions were played lol. I almost cried during the sad part. This felt like the last episode...Although, obviously it's not. xD I like Iori and Taichi but I don't really care who ends up with Taichi. But definitely, Aoki should be with Yui though. (y) |
| I wanted to see Iori go, not becuase I hate her character or anything, but because I think it might lead to a more interesting dynamic. I knew in the end they wouldn't kill her off though. Since Heartseed states death is not an option I want to see what he has planned for them next. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| Thank god, its been nothing but gloom all weekend, Iori is safe the make today a little happier for me and Inaba can be very scary at times. |
| Okay holy shit that was amazing! That bridge scene with Iori and Taichi was so good. Then as soon as Taichi confessed his love to Iori, Balloon Vine appeared in her body and fell off the bridge. From there, I was like 'aww shit' Hospital scene, my emotions were everywhere, fuck. Seriously, Iori giving those 'final' words to Taichi was so damn saddening. I almost teared up! And then Balloon Vine appears and tells all of them that he planned it from the start and was just 'testing them' lmao. To be trolled immensely. Balloon Vine is such a mysterious and interesting 'character'. That last scene was nice and somewhat scary lmao. Inaban knows Taichi stole her first kiss, and that laugh of hers is just LOL! So they haven't switched bodies since then. Looks like it'll start again next episode. :S Why is this Anime so damn good?! |
 |
| At least everyone has moved on from the masturbation part. If I had hear anymore about it, I was gonna go crazy! |
| I somehow like Inaba for Taichi than Iori...There's just something not right in Iori and Taichi's relationship...Chemistry...maybe? Idk...I just really like Inaba and Taichi's moments. ^^ Hmmm well, I guess it's just that there's too much pushing around for Taichi and Iori to be together...and somehow...I just don't feel that much pull between the two of them...Although I know Taichi is a "stable" person, if his love for Iori is THAT INTENSE, I don't think he'll be able to keep his cool that much. It's just...weird... If it was Inaba who'll die, I wonder what his reaction would be... |

| and i thought it was going to end up the same way how Accel World episode 17 ended up since i watched Kokoro after Accel Heartseed guy would've been cursed eternally by me!. Good thing it was a different ending! So im guessing Inaban will definitely fall for Taichi? :D xD |

I have nothing against Inaban, however as a pairing for Taichi....No....They've pushed the Taichi x Iori card on us way too much during this series and anything other than that just seems so wrong. If he does indeed go out with Inaban. I'm sorry to say.....But I'll have to drop the series....It'll be a huge disappointment, when the series had such potential too. |
