If you watch it on TV, you would be able to understand easily that the two halves have completely different atmosphere, separated by TV commercials. And more important structure is, always a first half describes emotions of the characters quietly and a second half describes a battle. It continues from the first episode to Ep 8. Secondly, both halves have main events that can be imagined from the previous episodes. Always new mysteries and new facts are added to those. Thirdly, amounts of the script in every episode are obviously less than ordinary anime of nowadays. Every episode focuses on a minimum advance of the story. And it is causing that a half has only few main events. After Emiru's death of Ep 6, events on the main storyline that could be imagined were the following. (It mainly depended on my thinking way about Okada works) 1. Sasame starts to be necrometalized because she took the shower of the shining dust. 1+. The relation of Sasame and Akashi is described a little. 1++. The relation between Sasame and the Corpse girl are shown a little. 2. The new mecha is made from Emiru 2+. Heito gets that mecha. 2++. Heito fights against something by his mecha. (In the rule of mecha anime, if you get a new one, you should fight by it immediately.) 3. Akashi or someone finds the truth of the mecha. 3+. About the truth, a conflict between Akashi and Kasane happens. 4. Sasame dies or not. 5. About Emiru's death, a conflict between Akashi and Heito happens. And I thought a little of the past of them, Minashi's intention and the roles of Maamu, Raika and Iwato would be added to those. Then, I tried to putting those in order. Basically, I did it with thinking the limit of one episode should be under an amount of 65 pages script. Ep 7: fh 1+, 1++ / sh 2, 2+ Ep 8: fh 1 / sh 5, 2++ Ep 9: fh 3, 3+ / sh 4 Ep 10: (The new arc will begin. Iwato and Raika will be focused on.) I predicted it by the above thought. Now I feel necessity of changing some prediction because the new facts and the new mystery of Ep 7 and Ep 8 were heavier than my expect. |
| Nice deductive skills, yes this is no ordinary anime, this anime requires some critical thinking haha, mainly, if u can get grasp on the stituation, thats the reason why people dropping this show. Hosnestly, this show is so UNDERRATED. |

| Get mad every time I see Emiru in the OP. Sasame next robot, unless corpse is defeated; probably won't be. pls die heito. Considering corpse girl looks all ghosty and shit, I'm guessing we might see the ghosts of Emiru and Akashi's brother sometime in the future. I don't see how this show is going to end. Maamu was narrating, so hopefully everyone dies except for her. I'd approve of that ending at this point in the story. She was also the one who wasn't really paired with anyone or something if I remember correctly. |
| Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. |
| The mystery behind the Lightless Realm is probably the only thing keeping me from dropping the show. The characters are really bland. Heito is 2edgy4 me. |
| This was a very good drama and horror after the long wait All these memory flashbacks explained the things I wanted to know |
| I wonder who will ride Sasame. Edit: I mean when she gets turned into another MA-Vess. Not "ride" like Aoshi rode Kasame |

nyancat2506 said: komic said: it's not really ntr since they were married. i dont remember this? i thought they just date each other one or the other not really sure, but it can't be NTR. NTR would be if Akashi was to steal her from Aoshi if he was still alive. He was still an emotioniless kid at the time so it not really NTR on Akashi part. |
| If sasame dies, she will be used to make a MA-vess for Minashi. lmao Akashi had Aoshi's sex memory. Damn, the girl who looks like Sasame in the lightless realm has some nice tits. ;) I'm just saying |

| My god this show sucks. So I guess Akashi and Heito just accepted the fact that Emiru is a robot now and didn't question any of the lab officials on that whatsoever. "Oh, well I guess she's a robot now...anyway I hope the cafeteria has eggs for breakfast tomorrow." The only real reason for them to have killed Emiru off was to put Sasame in the spotlight. Now not only is she still incredibly uninteresting, but now she's going to die and become the third mech. Leaving us with that creepy little boy. One of the most annoying things is that everyone interrupts the other person when they're having a conversation and completes their thoughts like they fucking know anything. Every. Single. Episode. This episode with Akashi interrupting Kasane and completing her sentences then walking away like he's the fucking all-knowing prophet, and immediately after he leaves she's like...n-no Akashi. Heito is still a big ol' douchebag. But, we got a flashback of him peeing himself so I laughed and enjoyed that immensely. |
| Well, the OP is still beautiful... zachfoss said: Damn, the girl who looks like Sasame in the lightless realm has some nice tits. ;) I'm just saying You and I, sir, are on the exact same page, lol. Anyway, it's all still very intriguing, even if progress has been haphazard at best. |

| this anime brings many questions and no answers to each episode appear more questions and some characters seem to have many secrets there's a good plot, but the development is weak, and still killed the best character I want to see where the story of the anime will |

Not sure if anyone mentioned it before but there are two stone statues kissing in the ending where Akashi and Emiru are sitting in the ending. |

Hosnestly, this show is so UNDERRATED. I'm not sure if that's the main reason some people are dropping it. One of the main complaints comes from Heito which ruin's the show's atmosphere whenever he's on screen. You can have a batship crazy character that's not so over-the-top. The Joker in Batman the Dark Knight was like that and a lot of people liked him and even considered him the best thing about the movie. And people,you just KNOW Sasame will survive because she'll be protected by plot armor while the better character,Emiru,was not because you know...she need's to end up with Akashi. But maybe I'm wrong and Okada will show some fair treatment towards her characters(not holding my breath on that one). Otherwise,I'm finding the show rather enjoyable and I'll agree that it's underrated. It's strong point is it's atmosphere(whenever Heito's not around to ruin it). |
| Not sure why I dislike Maki Minashi so much. I even find Heito less annoying than him. I bet Sasame will die, I mean, I think is kind of clear she is not the girl Akashi is looking for. However, I do wonder why does she look alike to that other girl. Anyway, IMO the other girl looks hotter than Sasame. |

Sasame probably was just obsessed with tsugumi haha :X - they look diff when they were little tho |

| Too forced, too bland. I want to like this show, but it's hard to when everything's being thrown at you. |
| Sasame's skin condition... guess she's likely to become the next mech. I'm still thinking the brother became Argent... otherwise who was it built off? I'm sure I'll find out at some point. As I suspected, the kids all survived the Lightless Realm before. |
  |
| when a man dies, the memories he leaves behind are the most important to him....funerals, his own death, and banging his girl |
 |
| I'm not sure if absolute solitude is true terror. But what does that even mean coming from me, a hermit, kek. |
 |
| Sasame has the necrometal infection now too. More deaths to come? |
