THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION. DO NOT DISCUSS THE LIGHT NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Heh, I didn't think I would say this but Reiji is pretty damn awesome at least in that fight.

Touji was pretty awesome as I had thought of course. Seems like he might of even improved his abilities since he last appeared. Good thing Suzuka and Kyouko showed up on time as well, nice.

Poor Kyoko though ;.;
I think they might still have a way to bring back Natsume but gotta play it right.

I've seen three different fansubs for this series, I've been waiting for it to get to the end before I watch it, so which fansub should I go with? Deadfish, gg, or Anime-Koi?
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Huh? Like pretty much every other episode in the anime, they are compressed versions of the novel's events, but there has been little to no filler in them at all.

I agree with you to a point, however, with only one episode left I dont think they can cover the rest of the ninth Light novel

They are not covering the tenth novel at all. The anime had finished production when that came out.

The 10th volume is better off left for a 2nd season anyway since vol 9 resolves enough of plot, while leaving the door open another season. It's one of better stopping points I've seen in an adaptation.

Pretty awesome ep.

Suzu telling Tenma what to do was nice. Calling him a pebble XD
The way he used his Misdirection lack of presence was pretty nice.
Good surprise for everyone. No body expected it hehe.

Kagami got so damn owned by Jin. Jin is just too DAMN BA!! He just made the most minimal movements possible and used spells strong enough to one sidedly defeat Kagami.

Good to see that Amami isn't dead :D Well last ep hinted it but we get to see his body ^^

Liked the combo Suzuka and Touji used to help Harutora escape. Was awesome teamwork. And Touji's 2nd level looks awesome.

Kyouko's star reading wasn't bad. Felt slightly creepy with how her spirit is shouting but her body is almost dead like talking like a zombie XD

I don't see how they'll conclude this in one ep???

Again an awesome episode, I knew that the last episodes would be like the climax of this show. W/e the fight between Ohtomo and Reiji was pretty awesome. I knew, that Ohtomo would be strong but I wouldn't have thought, that he would beat Reiji up that hard.

Also It seems like Ashiya Doman is getting bored against the fight vs Iwao.

Tenma was also pretty awesome this episode like how he got the Raven Coat all by himself. But one of the best were Saotome Suzu aka. Little Girl Senpai. She didn't only say to him what he should do, but she also knew how to speak to him like: " If you don't, I will make you unable to marry." This was amazing, hehe

One of the most beautiful scene in this Anime was Kyoko's "Star reading." It was so beautiful and looked so awesome, due to the opening I already thought, that she would play an important role but that she actually would do "Star reading".

It sure is sad, that the next episode is going to be the last, but w/e nice Anime at all, and hoping, that they won't stop with the Light Novel to early, because I could endure much much more of Tokyo Ravens. (Also I let myself getting spoiled, and Tokyo Ravens is seriously amazing)

5/5

I have to say the story line has been very well done, characters lack a bit of back story bu it has been some what complemented with flash backs around the series. This episode was a bomb in terms the plot I cant wait to see the finale.

Then again...I only skipped around with the raw so I wasn't sure what I was talking about

but still....I'm having trouble seeing how the last episode is going to contain all this awesomeness I'm picturing but we'll see.

The whole thing with Tenma felt a bit pointless. It really didn't need to be that long.

I thought we'd see Harutora fight but I guess not. Jin is by far the best character in this series, taking on 2 Divine Generals. Wonder how Suzu is going to help with the ritual, well she did revive Doman. It feels like there's so much left, I can see next episode being rushed.

The stuff Temna was hardly pointless, besides allowing his character to come into his own and shine. If weren't him the plan would have ultimately failed. Not to mention we would have a huge plot hole. It's just like with how Kon helped out in a critical situation last week.

It shows that you don't need to be super special or a Divine General to do great things. He has tons of balls for breaking in own his and succeeding a difficult task that most would have run away from. It's clearly a mistake Genji and Shidou's part for underestimating him.

Temna basically made up for being a mere pawn during Douman's attack and he deserve praise for it.

Man.... I really wanted Natsume to stay dead but it's almost guaranteed that they will revive her. What's the point of death then when you can just revive anyone back? =(

It would be awesome to see Natsume accept her death and stay that way instead of coming back and thanking them for bringing her back and risking the lives of other innocent people with the spell.

The only person who's well being risked here is Harutora's, and he's chosen to accept whatever conditions and consequences may come with it. That was one of points of Kon's speech last week.

Sure she could stay dead, but nothing wrong with her coming back either. Either path would be significant moment in the plot, you get less from her death anyway.

She's reading the stars, that's how it's visually represented. I'm not sure how doesn't fit with a series feature flying horse and Dragons. Do you want just see she siting there staring blankly at sky? lol

And no Suzuka was stopped from reviving her brother because she was doing entirely selfish reasons as way to run away from her problems.

Harutora is doing out of guilt because he feels obligated to her. Natsume never got a chance to live her life the way she wanted to at all. She was given burden she didn't ask for, forced to do unreasonable things and kept in the dark to about up till she died. It's kinda of miserable end for someone who really didn't really deserve it.

This episode was full of badass'ness :D Otomo's awesomeness knows no bounds and Touji's second seal looked really cool.

Tenma's time to shine, and he did so spectacularly.

A loli-loving loli cannot be evil. My faith in Suzu was justified.

That's what you get for wearing sunglasses indoors, Kagami XD

I thought star reading involved reading charts and stuff. I didn't know it's actually seeing stars and different worlds. Kyouko must be really special :o

Why would would be awesome if she stayed dead? She's already accepted her death, its Harutora who can't because he indirectly killed her. In terms of story progression it makes more sense to revive her. If Harutora is to revive Natsume, he will be using forbidden spells and in doing so is the same as turning his back on the Onmyo Society. Being Yakou's reincarnation he is one of the most influential people in the Onmyo Society. For doing such an act, Harutora would most likely be hunted down by the Omnyo Agency and forced into hiding. Its unlikely he'd be put in prison but it could still happen. Someone with as much power as Harutora wouldn't easily be let off the hook.

I said either way would work well. Just because Natsume accepted her death doesn't mean he has to. How Harutora feels is also what's important here. He didn't direct lead to her death, but it happened as consequence being a body double to protect him (not to mention twice even). He's wants to at least try to return that favor regardless of the cost to himself.

What's to explain exactly? She inherited and manifested her ability to utilize astrology like her grandmother. It said so in the episode itself. That's why she stopped Touji from heading into Agency earlier.

I didn't say Harutora had to accept Natsume's death. Its good that he wants to revive her but the rest of the world won't think the same way. He'd be turning his back on everybody. Like you said, whether Natsume is revived or stays dead, either way works. I just think that it makes more sense to revive her. It seems it would make the story more interesting than if she is left dead and everything goes back to normal.

"If you don't, I'll make it so you can never get married." o.0 now that's a threat.

Tenma is finally getting some major screen time and action.

Shadow, surfing waves and beating ogres like a pro :D

Kyoko's Star Reading scene was so random and trippy.

Looks like we can expect another fight with Jin next episode :D

It's hard not to run into some spoiler at this time, since this is the episode before last, I guess people just can't hold it anymore.
Jin is now my favorite here...
Though I hope it won't took too long before they start S2 ...
if I got it right...I start reading Vol1-4 at the 3rd or 4th year of my college, and now I'm graduated for 2 years, it might took another 3 years before the author wrote enough.

As well Suzu... she's a mystery. Answers about her aren't gonna be answered when the series ends. And I doubt there will be a S2.

On another note, wow Jin is Uberpowered lol I honestly expected Kagami to give him some trouble but... lol he was beaten so easily. And damn Kogure, I expected him to side with Jin as well lol And yay Amami is alive xD

Does anyone know where can I read the LN translations? Baka-tsuki is so late in updates -.- They haven't even covered the volume 5 fully.
