| So we finally get to see Satoshi and everything is falling into place story-wise. I was not expecting Shion to flip like that though XD |
 |
| Satoshi looks a lot like Sunohara from Clannad... I hope I'm not the only one that thinks that. Yeah weird episode. Wtf Shion. |
| sweet, realy liked this episode |
2Deeh said: Rokeby said: Am I the only one who actually was annoyed by Satoko's behavior? x3 You, me, and Shion all agree. Shion was godly in this ep, we got some background AND she beat the hell outta that useless whining brat Satoko. +1 Given the general extremities of emotional responses in this show, it's not so hard to follow Shion's train of thought. Shion is doing the same thing like when Keiichi decided to kill the uncle cept Keiichi saw the uncle as threat to Satoko's happiness and Shion saw Satoko as threat to Satoshi's happiness. |
 |
| Is it just me that found it really hard to tell the twins apart? I thought it was Mion beating Satoko up for a minute :-/ And it raises a hell of a lot more questions than it answers...which is pretty much par for the course for this anime :-D |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| I got Shion's point, but I did feel bad for Satoko back there. :( |
 |
| Where does Shion even get off. Seriously. Just because she has a wildly-huge-for-no-reason crush on her hero Satoshi - whom she barely knows, she gets pissed that caring for his _sister_ is stressing him out, and takes it upon herself to torment the child in question? Wtf? It's his choice, maybe she should tell him to man up and stop going to the rescue every time his sister sheds a tear, or tell him to teach his sister some strength instead of fear. It's not her place to decide his happiness in this situation. It's a close family matter and she's a complete stranger from another town, posing as Mion no less. Poor Mion, I wonder what that beating Shion did to Satoko disguised as Mi will do to her rep? Dx Phew rant. I just hate when catty crap like that happens. Shion in this chapter needs to gtfo back to that boarding school she came from... |
| Yay, Satoshi!! |
It's not breaking in if the door is unlocked. |
| ^ haha I totally agree. I was kinda hoping no one would interfere and Shion would be the crap out of satoko...oh man this anime is bring out my bad side lol. |
 |
| If it were me, I would have slaughtered Satako's aunt and uncle instead of losing on Satoko. |
| This anime has some confusing bits and Shion posing as Mion doesn't really help lol but anyway. Shion should've thought of her sister's position a little bit more before exploding against Satoko. |
| Man, i really feel sorry for Satoko after that... |
| Oh no you did't. How dare Satoshi push Shion aside like that. To be fair, Shion did initially go over to help clean up the mess until Satoko starts acting like a brat. |

| Wow, Shion went crazy. Surprisingly though, I honestly felt some rage for Satoko too. She was being really annoying. But neither I nor Shion knows the pain she's going through, so we can't really hurt her. I do feel bad for the pressure put on Satoshi though; it must be crushing. |
| That village is creepy... It is forbidden for anyone to leave the village, and if they do leave then tons of messed up stuff starts happening. While you're staying in the town, you can't piss anyone off because if anyone wishes you dead, you'll die. Simply living in that place is like suicide. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| Cruel to think that the time is almost moden time and they're killing one of twins so there wouldn't be problems with the heir. Is it that important? Insane, i hope it doens't happen often nowadays. |
 |
| I feel bad for Satoko and Satoshi. Poor guys :( And wow, Shion is crazy for Satoshi. This won't end well (but it never does in this anime.) |
| Shion is a bitch. I felt bad for Satoko. |
 |
| OAO Satoshi |
 |
| I actually liked Satoko in the other arcs but in this one dear god was she annoying. I might not have gone QUITE as far as Shion did lol but it irritated me to watch how she was acting. I know she has a lot on her plate with her home life but her brother has to contend with that himself AND have her relying on him every second. Sheesh. |
 |
| I finally know how Satoshi looks. Man, Shion was crazy back there. I wonder what happens after that. |
| Dat beginning scene. Yes, it's a new arc. And it happens before Satoshi's aunt gets killed. So that's why Shion likes Satoshi! It's because he saved her before. I guess Satoshi is experiencing the curse, just like Rena. Every time someone hits someone else, they get pushed back too much. It's like when Shion threw Satoko around. And when Satoshi elbowed Shion. Maybe it's Satoshi's fault that Shion becomes crazy or something. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| At the end there I was waiting for Satsohi to smash Shion's face in with his baseball bat. Was disappoint; he should have beat her up more. Poor Satoko... |
| Well the episode was okay, what really struck me was the beginning and Shion's anger problems. Talk about being a tsundere bitch. I wonder how this ARC will play out, and are we ever going to see Keiichi again? |
| So Shion is the main character this time. And finally we get to see Satoshi. I hope this arc explains what happened to him. |
| Gahh! Distinguishing between Mion and Shion was so difficult this episode. Doesn't help that their voices are quite similar. But thanks to everyone here I got them straight... I think. |
 |
| Okay this explains why Shion was never around and finally we get Satoshi. I get Shion's feelings but her anger is directed at the wrong person, she should be mad at the Aunt and not Satoko....however Satoko needs to do something simple like eating without crying for Satoshi to come back but she did not deserve that kind of beatdown. |
 |
| I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one who dislikes Satoko/her behaviour after this episode. |
| Everyone in that anime seem to have a surhuman force and a psycho personality xD So Shion was in love with Satoshi and played the role of Mion for a short time. Maybe that's why Shion got close to Keiichi when she met him, they look very much alike, except the fact that Satoshi is blond. That scene with Sakoto was fucking brutal, I like how everyone was just looking at her for a moment. I must admit that when she was trowing books at her, it was kinda hilarious :P |

lsumi said: strangle before first bath o0 thats a f*cked up thing glad they didnt do it !! rofl shion face was funny in the aprt with those motocycles it make me cry from laughing =') satoshi to the rescue :O question is that a gun that shion / mion is wearing :O or is it a hairdryer xD Throw satoko with one hand damn shes strong o0 poor satoko!!!! up to the next ep... GRTZ lsumi o(^^)o It's supposedly an airsoft gun which she usually carries around , probably for fashion reasons , I was wondering the same thing so I searched it up and read about that |
| it's starting to make alittle more sense I guess , Satoko's aunt did in fact die , but now we know that Shion was the one who wished for it and supposedly Rena seeing as she 'experienced' similar things , I'm pretty sure Satoshi died prior to the events of either the first or second arc , Keiichi used/found his bat in his locker, Mion or 'Shion' was pretty defensive over that fact considering the feelings she had towards him , I'll probably have to watch it all again seeing as i'm forgetting some details. |
| The characterization gets more retarded as the series goes. Love at first sight, hmm okay. "I want his sister dead because.. love at first sight.", hmm fine. Beating up the sister in front of the whole class, after she had endured so much shit from her family, a little of this is enough to break her? Hmm why not. Talking about death as if they are nothing, by normal standard people's mind wouldn't even go to the "death" solution. Anyway, original first arc is the best so far, followed by the Akasaka arc, and they are both just average to decent. |

| Superhuman strength and wicked minds - a dangerous combination, and all people in this series have it. But I don't quite get the hate Satoko gets from everyone here. True, she should become more independent, but she's a like 10 year old child which lost his parents and gets abused by uncle and aunt. I think it's rather normal to act like she does and looking up to her elder brother, who is the only one to help her! So, Shion shouldn't be blaming her. But I guess, she has enough family problems to deal with on her own. I actually enjoy, not seeing Keiichi around this time too. That guy pisses me off to much. |
| The reaction against Satoko was worthy of a total loser. Shion picked the wrong person to be bitchy to.. She loves Satoshi and she beats his little sister in front of the class, the same sister who's being constantly bullied by her aunt.. Good way of making one guy fall in love with you. And come on guys, Satoko here is about how many years old? 10? It's obvious that she has easy breakdowns. |
| Satoshi :) Finally! |
| I might sound like a total asshole for saying this, but Satoko WAS acting really spoiled. I felt sorry for Satoshi. That said though, what Shion did was WAY out of line. Total bitch. |

| WHOA THAT MINDFUCKERY!!! I HAD NO IDEA THAT WAS SHION WHO THREW SATOKO AT THAT LOCKER! WOW... |

| Satoko was as annoying as always this episode. Seeing that side of Shion was weird, too. Looking forward to see what really goes down with Satoshi/the aunt. |
| I have read this arc already in the manga and am now coming back to watch it. This is probably my least favorite arc to be honest. Not only does it make Shion look like a bad guy, but it makes Satoko (my favorite of all of the girls) look like a whiny little cry baby. Pisses me off. For all of you wondering she ISNT actually like that this timeline just makes her look that way. |
