zorapup said: 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.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. |

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. |
Paperface088 said: Same here. TAICHI X IORI all the way, I don't what people see in TAICHI X INABAN. But i guess, me being a huge IORI fan wants Iori to end up with Taichi or someone. So i guess thats why i want the pairing. Anyway's if the inaban couple is the one that happens i might still watch this series.It had to much potential and i'll just forget about the pairing and ROOT for IORI alone with no TAICHI(Hate Taichi if he plays with Iori's feelings). :(( Taichi won't play with Iori's feelings. He hates to see people being hurt so he wouldn't do that. |

| 4tiejareshtuejioriihttser ;-; My emotions. That was just ijwotiueif; my heart's still going crazy I wanted to cry so badly throughout the whole thing That was some serious trolling... My opinions changed about Heartseed though, he doesn't seem like such a bad guy. I think he has good intentions, even if he does act like a huge dick -.- This is definitely one of my favourite animes this year :) |

I remember this series, like because it's so huge and so many watched it. They didn't know who to choose for the main guy. So they had this voting system opened up so the people could choose who the guy marries. wahahahaha. I think it'd be fair for the fans but not for the characters though. It'd turn out to be like were manipulating them or something. |
|
| Best episode so far! It was funny, romantic, sad, dramatic, and it made good use of the switching mechanic. And I was on the verge of dropping this. |
 |
| Not sure what to think of Heartseed besides hes a crazy bastard with alot of power/free time on his hands and likes Dramas so he made up his own for entertainment,or this is just his own way of teaching kids harsh life lessons lol. But Taich x Iori starting next week right?!~ either way is fine though it would be weird for them to start dating midway. |
 |
| Swear I'm like the only person for Yui x Taichi. At least my hopes was dashed in this episode quite dramatically at the beginning =.= |
 |
| Never expected this kind of twist at all.. My brain's still processing itself from Heartseed's trolling... This episode has convinced me to give this anime a score of 10 (previously 7, then 8, then 9 and now 10!)! That story was well thought of and absolutely brilliant that I'm now biased with this anime. I hope it continues to keep getting better. :D Excellently clever series~ |
| people thinking of dropping the show because the pair their shipping might not hold it until the end? come on.. why not stick around to see how it develops.. anyway, i hope this anime ends up being a 2-cour series.. being a 1-cour would just mean that they wouldn't be able to handle it until the end of the main story.. so far, my biggest problem with the series is the very existence of Heartseed.. to me, he seems to be just an avatar of the author to forcefully move the story conveniently when things start being boring (like what Heartseed himself claimed).. hopefully, his issue gets cleared up.. coz this is like cheat mode for the author.. |

| This anime is WIN. Dat heartseed won the title of best troll of the year. Things are spicing up, this love triangle will surely give me more emotional rollercoasters. Im ready!!! |

| Mnn, it's just not cruel enough. Once again they've presented a marvelously dramatic situation then wrapped it up in a single episode. I want consequences other than they're better friends now. Personally I would have been much happier seeing this end with them missing the time limit by "accident" and someone else dying in Iori's body. Probably Aoki since he's the least developed and this episode's rejection is a good send off note. Imagine how that would have echoed through the rest of the series. What it would have meant for the relationship triangle. The accusations and the resentment for their situation. It would have been fascinating. Well, better than a cliffhanger before the ending we got, at least. There's still a lot I like about this series. |
| I don't exactly understand Heartseeds plan for doing this. However the group was ignorant to think they he couldn't do something like that. It just shows how a light hearted story can become dark in just a couple seconds worth of events. I hope that this anime will have a full story telling us heartseeds real purpose and, that it isn't something half-assed like "to get you all the be real friends" Something reminded me of Mirai Nikki I can't say what exactly but, for a while I felt it was something like a game to see who can become the next "heartseed" or something. The only thing I can say is the Iori( i think thats her name?) actually died then, I would be out for blood no doubt. |

I agree, the only thing that bothered me is him confessing to Iori so early is the relationship between them was a pretty good chunk of plot device, If they wrap it up now and conclude with them dating then they're going to have to replace it with something else. I'm hoping it's something where they get to know each other better (IE Family etc), That or start focusing on the Aoki pairing more than Taichi's side.. |
KingofConquerors said: My theory is he is a Xenobiology grad student from some very advanced alien species, from a star several thousand light years away, working on his PhD thesis. He's found some interesting, if not overly intelligence (compared to his race), lifeforms on a backwater star system that exhibit some unusual emotional characteristics and he felt they would be perfect test subjects to include in his paper and he convinced his thesis adviser to get a grant for funding for his field study. Sadly, often such funding is very limited and I suspect his time was about up so he accelerated the experiment to try to get a more interesting result. In the academic world, it's Publish or Perish.yeah, i'd like to know the truth with regard of who this heart seed really is.... |

| just completely blown away by the way this episode played with your emotions. |

Character design and relationship pairings are the hooks for me. I'll love the premise of a show, however I'll drop it's ratings significantly if the ship pairing that i dislike ends up getting the show. That's why i despise ever having watched Ef - A tale of memories. You can have a storyline that I'll love the hell out of....But don't screw with my shipping or you've had it. |
| A great end to this particular arc. I'm predicting a new ED next episode, since they're done with body swapping. Perhaps with some more focus on Inaba. |

| I liked this episode until the end. End was fukin' lame. Not like this surprises me because this anime is turning out to be kinda lame overall. 2/5 |
| Final ep? D: |
| I freaking cheered when it was revealed Iori didn't die. What an epic troll on Heartseed's part, though I have to admit I'm a big more intrigued by his character more than ever now. And I loved how Heartseed just cockblocked the confession. Both hilarious and messed up at the same time, in a way. |

| I have to say that I knew how the episode would end. I knew that they couldn't kill off Iori five episodes into the show. I wasn't positive that it wouldn't end up with Taichi switching to her body at the last moment, then everyone finding out that they were trolled, then the two not being able to switch back because the switching was over. That would have made for a very, very interesting story from here on out. How would the two of them deal with being in the wrong body? They still may love each other, but could either of them deal with the switch and have romantic feelings for their own body? Would Taichi/Inori become a lesbian and Iori/Taichi gay? That would be a very interesting and daring story to tell, but probably not one that would make it to anime, perhaps a movie, but not a late night anime... As it is, I expect things will continue to go haywire with the bastard heartseed twisting their lives in a new way next... I haven't read the novels, so I don't know for sure... I can't wait to find out how it continues! |
