I guess mikunis father deliberately focused on work, to reduce the effect a loss would have on his kids

Nice to see some back story on Mikuni. A father who puts his business before his family, wow. Even though she didn't want to leave Japan anyway, it was still harsh to cancel her treatment abroad. I'm pretty certain Q resembles Mikuni's little sister in the future. Very interesting.

What's also very interesting is the development between Kimimaro and Mashu! "What's kissing?" "I wanna try it!". =3

I wonder what Kimimaro noticed in the end!

Best episode so far, sad there's only 4 more eps left.

It seems Mikuni's father is voiced by the Uchiha Madara's seiyuu.

Just finished rewatching the ep. The young Souichiro is still seriously cute with that confused look in his eyes and pretty cool with ginger hair.

His motivations are clearer now too: he wants to save Japan, because his sister loved the country, and he wants to make the present, not the future, livable for people to the max, because his sister lived in the present moment, having no future.

I'm afraid I'm gonna seriously hate Kimimaro when the two clash as the OP hints...

BTW, about the semblance of Takako and Q. There's another point, besides the eyes and hair style, I think. Takako lost consciousness and "sleeping", and Q is sleepy most of the time too.

Still don't care for the second part of the ep, but in love with the first.

nearing Mashu x Kimimaro, nice! xD

:O
So "Assets are the Entre's lost future" makes perfect sense now.
I also agree that the mikuni part was good and the masyu part was shit.

What's with the abrupt ending!? DX

Nice episode even though I didn't feel like it advanced the plot that much. Not a big deal for me except there's only 4 eps left...

Mikuni's past was interesting even though I thought he already mentioned it before. The last part with Yoga and Mashu was pretty cute as well.

I really liked the first half with some backstory with Mikuni but the second half was weak sauce. =/

I don't really know where they're going with the plot any more in this show and whatever they're doing, I'm not sure how they'll do it in 4 episodes but I did enjoy this episode a lot.

Episodes like these are required for a deeper story line, huh.

Wow, girly, you are such a boring and annoying hypocrite. I don't see you having a problem liking vampires, shinigamis or their weapons for that matter.

Not to mention we don't really know what an asset is.

I was thinking this too.
Which is probably why my speculation went something like this: Mikuni's asset -> shares the same voice actor with his sister => Asset is his sister, kind of? Mikuni lost her/might lose her completely in the future, so the sister could be his "lost future".
Or it could be the opposite, depending on the translation.

Ok episode, I liked the Mikuni part even though it was a tad cliché. Kimimaro x Masshu part was boring since I'm not watching this anime for romance, but yeah, I have nothing against it either. (The "what is kissing, well okay, let's do it" part was pretty clichéd too, though.)

CG continues being stiff and horrible.

So Mikuni/s backstory, and moar moar Mashu this episode. Liked it. Guess they're gonna go at it with full plot since next episode, since only 4 episodes left. :(

Agreed. I really liked the backstory mixed with the character/relationship development.

Great episode.

Oh, and I got that Mikuni's sis was in a coma... not dead as some have said.

It's a pretty... Vague and thought-provoking idea, really.

Maybe the assets are representations of what they really desire for their future? Mashu is Kimimaro's desire for affection and Mikuni's is quite obviously a copy of his sister.

I can't really gather my thoughts enough to add what else I can think of what it may mean, but it seems to represent what they desire for the future and a chance to get it much faster than they normally would, and with the added chance to lose it forever.

On the topic of the CGI... I see lots of people complaining about it, and I really don't understand. It seems fine to me. You guys mean Masakaki and the Assets right, how they're animated? It seemed like a conscious animation choice to me, showing how alien they are compared to the more 'human-like' animations.

Either way, I really enjoyed this episode. I just wonder how they can fit something like this into an 11-episode anime.

It's a shame that we already saw half of this amazing anime :X Love the interaction between the asset and Yoga.

I love how you got to see stuff from the assets point of view and that other guys was a interesitng concept to say the least and when she was asking about kissing i am not sure why but she seemed really cute maybe it was because she seemed innocent at the time who knows

this is only gonna be 11 eps long??
thats what it says on the profile site...
i was hoping it to be longer
to develop the plot even more
