THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Whew, just Marathon-ed the last three episodes. Good stuff. However, this episode is where it's at. Favorite episode thus far. You're in for a treat. Full of twists and turns. Especially, the reveal of Raigyo. Never saw that coming. And Furuichi... oh my God. Let's just say... Actually, I don't know what to say. I'm still shocked. :p

Just when I thought I had a grasp of the story, everything was turned upside down. I don't know what to expect anymore, but this anime is so good. This latest episode has me counting down the hours 'til the next one. Yes, I'm slightly aware there is over 161 hours left. You got a problem with that? :D

Let me know what y'all thought.

Hmm... I can't really place it, but I feel like this episode could have had a little bit better writing. Especially when they confronted the human form in the tunnel. The human-form bitchslaps the one dude so hard it breaks his neck just because he got too close to him. Then a few seconds later Furuichi starts unloading his automatic into the human-form and it doesn't do a damn thing. But, I guess besides all that it was still a pretty damn good episode with lots of development.

In other news, Roppa gets +10 added adorable rating for this episode. Roppa instant air pillow FTW!

Just watched it on Veoh (complaints are getting loud on Crunchyroll). Finally this series is starting to get some proper action / plot development. What was almost a touching reunion turned into Furuichi being a dick and Raigyo being awesome (although he is damn ugly as a human). This ep didn't have quite enough Kakisu in it, although I guess so far it's been Kakisu episode=no action.

I liked it, we've finally met this Raigo charcter.... methinks he'll be shaving soon, as that's how he appears in the ED. I loved the bridge reunion, but I thought Haru was going to be killed off there, happily I was proven wrong! Furuichi is being a pain, he's starting to remind me of Suzaku, in that he knows his friend is on the opposite side, yet is still ok with pointing a gun at them.

Next episode looks good, everyone seems pleased to see Raigo again, Nakiami seems to be giving him a cold shoulder though.

Dammit, Furuichi, why do you have to be such a freak? ;[
But finally, some action scenes. And another Xam'd! Can't wait to see Akiyuki and Raigo [was it?] together.
It looks like he'll be getting attarctive soon considering his image in the ED. <3
Can't wait! >o<

Best show of the season without a doubt! Furuichi IS another Suzaku (i.e. a pain in the arse) but will make things interesting as did the latter character in CG. Riagyo looks cool as fuck though. Can't wait for more!

just finished the episode (dont really like crunchy roll but i gotta admit they are pretty fast and the H.264 quality is pretty good) anyway i really liked this episode a little more development that in the past slower episodes. some ok action and some nice "suprises" overall a very good episode although it does kinda feel its lacking something.
and btw Nakiami is awesome XD she's my fav up untill now (dont really know why though)

I was wondering about how Furuichi survived that battle.. they should've at least shown something of the fight haha

And about Raigyo.. it seems pretty obvious that he'd teach Akiyuki a thing or two about controlling his power more properly.

Unless the reason why Raigyo left & Nakiami's giving him the cold shoulder is because the way he controls his power goes against what she tried to teach him / is trying to teach Akiyuki. Add a little needed plot complexity.

Not if Furuichi realy is like Suzaku. Then he can kill this show like Suzaku did code geass R2

It's nice to see a Xam'd that can actually kick ass and do cool stuff, instead of getting into trouble all the time. If nothing else, he'll teach Akiyuki the different between men and boys (hello, shower scene!).

i prefer if there were a little more romantic when akiyuki met haru.^^ but then it would be boring if we know who he will end up with, or nobody at all.
but ragyos xam looks awesome, cant wait to see him fighting.

wow furuichi is an awesome best/close friend....well i am guessing he is going to die and i see raigyo dying soon also, he'll probably teach akiyuki something and then sacrifice himself to protect him.

but there was one part where i lol'd real bad. when fuiruichi yelled at akiyuki you left the island, everyone was dying. i just wished akiyuki would have said no sh*t sherlock, do you see what comes out of my arm now.

nice episode.
this anime is really getting to me. its getting more awesome each episode.
i liked the reunion. akiyuki gets extra points for saving haru.
furuichi gets the title of "suzaku" of xam'd for his stupidity.
really, he CAN point his gun at one of his friends, without even listening to him.... he even hit HARU!!!!!
new xam'd was nice.
i guess Raigyo was a nice addition to the crew.
Nakiami :D
she's so warm hearted, to give the girl a cure for her papa....
i smiled at the broken motorcycle.

I'm not really getting why so many people compare Furuichi to Suzaku. Their situations are quite different. Suzaku turned against Lelouche because the latter was making war against the empire, and killed Euphie. Furuichi turned against Akiyuki becase Akiyuki was infected with some critter... against his will. Suzaku has a reason to hate, Furuichi's just a dick.

Xam'd: 5-8

Still an 8/10 series in my mind. Little to no plot explanations (still), very little information provided about the setting (still) and the series lacks direction at this point. It's hard to see how the series is going to finish up right now when there isn't a set path the main character is walking on that will lead him to the end - he's simply travelling around on a Royal Mail airship, with scenes involving other secondary characters getting thrown in here and there. I'm going to bet this wasn't based on a manga; it's all a bit too messy and uncoordinated for that to be the case.

The one plot/character point that's keeping me interested is the only comprehensible one; the love triangle between the main trio. Furuichi is getting increasingly envious of Akiyuki as he's forced to watch Haru wait for Akiyuki's return, Haru not even noticing his own feelings for her. After the events of EP8, it's clear that the two males are going to end up fighting to the death, with Furuichi using the fact Akiyuki is Xam'd as the reason for him removing Akiyuki from the love triangle. I'm betting Furuichi will end up as a HFW so that he can fight Akiyuki without it being unfair.

Furuichi has a received a lot of fan hate. Personally, I don't hate him - it's easy to understand his feelings and how painful it is for his character to not have his feelings returned. And, like every other character that's cut from the envy mould, the intensity of his feelings make for dramatic encounters with the one who is causing the jealousy.

Anyway. Overall, although I'm enjoying it, I'm not finding it compelling to watch due to the story being so unclear. I'll probably watch the remaining 4 episodes (of S1) tomorrow.

Lol, Furuichi is a crazy bitch C: I always hated him from the start, even just his physical character, he looks so stupid and weak, gives me goosebumps and makes me itch and his dialogue is pathetic and cheesy (from the start. Dun know if you think the same.

WAIT, were we supposed to know who Raiygo is ?! O_O so confused.

BTW, The Haru x Akiyuki reunion schooled all of the reunions in anime history. I had to watch it ten times it was so well done c: GAWD, that was sooooo touching and not even cheesy.

(You'll notice i say cheesy a lot. It's because i hate cheesy of all things)
