Yes! I knew it, Furuichi's a black/red Xam'd. He seems a little touched in the head, though. Next ep, though, his full form looks a little 'tarded; flaming bull Xam'd's okay, but the face...

EDIT: Yay, Nazuna's back! Sorry, wut?

I hope Akiyuki kicks Furuichi's ass. I've always hated Furuichi type "friends." The jealous ones will always try to overthrow with their selfish motives. Hopefully Akiyuki leaves Sentan Island for good with Nakiami and the two never look back. Good episode.

I don't think Akiyuki is dense enough not to see her feelings. And it would be nice if she got to leave with him. However, I'd also like to see Furuichi getting some sense beaten into him and tagging along (imaging Raigyo + Akiyuki + Furuichi pwning humanforms), but in the preview looks like that may never happen. Plus, you've got to take into account the size of that kayak: two people is pushing it.

But more than anything I want answers. The easiest person to get them from has been sleeping for the past thirteen frickin' episodes.

I agree, that seemed too cruel. Really emotional scene with her running looking for him. I hope his mum reunites with him before he inevitably leaves again.

Plus I have a feeling that Haru is possibly going to end up leaving with Akiyuki by force due to the military forcing her to capture him or fight (whichever). Furuichi on the other hand may end up being a military weapon which would be pretty cool.

Now the question is whether next Tuesday we are getting the new episode as the Playstation store said that it was two seasons. So is there going to be a break or just keep on going? It also would be kinda cool if by two seasons they meant two seasons of 26 episodes but for the Japanese that would be four seasons.

I too hope Akiyuki reunites with his mother, I felt bad when she just missed him.

Furuichi's lost his damn mind, I hope Akiyuki beats some sense into him.

I'm with the masses, the sooner Furuichi gets his ass handed to him on a plate the better. I feel sorry for Haru, I think Akiyuki likes her, but she really really likes Akiyuki. Unfortunately, he's probably going to leave Sentan with Nakiami escaping pursuit.

Lol @ looking in the bathroom first. A really good episode. Everything came together nicely. Somehow (Akiyuki and Nakiami specifically) the characters looked better, the running scene was pretty awesome and a fire Xam'd next episode!

I'd rather not have that happen. Imagine the effect it will have on Haru. :/

damn good episode... i have to agree the running scene was done really nicely with all the flashbacks and stuff... freaking Furuichi finally went into insane mode... he needs to be put into his place and realize the bigger picture of everything...

Eh...
Nakiami has the same hat as Eureka and they look similar with it on.
I loved the contrast at the end of the ep. with Akiyuki and Nakiami standing on one side and Furuichi and Haru on the other...
Even with Furuichi grabbing her arm, I think it presents how the sides are going to play out in the second half of the series.
From the looks of it, I see Haru as more of a destined-to-be-tragic type and I doubt Akiyuki will end up with her...Nakiami maybe [that would be cute, but there is no development there at all...]?
Plus, Furuichi will probably get his redemption sooner or later...
And the half-face 'curse seal' at the end is deliciously evil~

*dances around singing "i was right, i was right", and runs into a wall*

well i guessed most of it, Haru is starting to hate Akiyuki for the position he put her in, Xam'd vs Xam'd is coming up, NakiamixAkiyuki relationship seems to be getting better and all thats left is for Furuichi to die!

I didn't want to comment on this until after I had seen a better encode, but now that I have I have to say that the animation quality was definitely down in this episode. There were multiple times where the character designs were "off" in between keyframes and if you watch Akiyuki's bandaged arm it tends to swell and shrink at random =(.

But that aside, it was a decent episode and it also marks our halfway point in the series so lets hope they get this plot moving forward next episode and start explaining a few things.

Wow it's been a while snice i saw a xam'd episode and it was a good episode, much emotion, development and next episode action?
I do wonder what stance Haru will (maybe forced by..) take concerning Akiyuki.

Yeh i bet Furuichi is gonna serve the military as a xam'd that would indeed be nice.
He shouldn't die yet imo

felt a little bad for his mom since she only got to see his lunch box but then again he also was more or less doing something shed remember from his childhood it sucked that she knows he wont come back and that she didnt get to talk to him even if it was for her sake. Also yay for furuichi getting a shot at akiyuki though of course hes not going to win but at least hes getting the chance feel kind of bad for him though. Poor poor Haru as well since shes in the millitary now she has even more inner turmoil about having a person she loves be a xam'd while being a soldier.

Very strange episode, I don't episode some of the scenes, they don't make much sense, and honestly, sometimes, I don't understand how the characters react and think honestly. Good developments though I guess, I'm waiting for the next ep now to see exactly what will happen.

This. Exactly. Pretty cruel of Akiyuki, but still like his old self I guess.

Wahahaha! I was thinking the exact same.

Very interesting to see Ryuzo keeping the girl alive.

How awesome was Akushiba's singing at the PV in the end there. I could drown myself in Konishi's voice.

Haru didn't want to see him again, because she doesnt want the army to take him. But I think the real reason is because she DID IT with furuichi last time. Well Akiyuki has to return to that damn island anyway, because he needs to see his parents. Also, I really hate the army because they want to capture/kill him for being and Xamd? I didn't see him doing anything wrong to be killed.

I guess now it's vs Furuichi and then the army wants to kill both. I guess he won't be able to see his mother or Haru unless she goes with him. stupid corrupt army.
