Intense, indeed. I really don't think that it all sank in, particularly the bit with Furuichi. I had to jump back a little bit, because I was so shocked that nothing after it really registered. And the bit with him buying the Ramune was just too sad--calling Akiyuki his best friend and all.

The highlight of it all for me was Haru's confession, though. I'm constantly amazed by what a strong, empathetic character she is, although the Fumiko Orikasa voice certainly aids my love of her. I'm excited to see the next episode, but that's no shocker. Xam'd always gets me revved up for the next week. Just glad it's back!

I got scared as hell when Furuichi did that...Even though I hated him, it was sad when it happened. I really feel they could have done a lot more with his character, but I guess they were going for shock right there.

That was one pretty....messed up episode. Akiyuki with Xam'd face scared me too...Agh...

<3 for Haru in this episode though. Although now she and Akiyuki will be separated for a couple MORE episodes again, like always... and Nakiami was just kind of...there >_<

Furuichi's actions caught me off guard too. I'm glad Akiyuki was able to get away from the army, but now he's got amnesia............great :( It's nice to finally have this show back.

I can't even remember when I watched the previous episode...

Anyway, I'm glad it's back, and it's a great episode. It's got a good amount of action and development. I definitely didn't see Furuichi getting killed off though, but I thought it was both funny and weird to eat your own head... Things are really becoming interesting now, and I want to see what happens next.

Buying the ramune... and then, lord, yes - I cried. Ha. Pretty sad episode over all. Poor Haru, and Akiyuki... While I'm glad he didn't get found, his Xam'd face scares the hell out of me. I hope he regains some memories. Then again, it wouldn't be so bad if he didn't.

Did Furuichi really kill himself? I thought his powers couldn't hurt him or something since he was practically a blossom of blobs. But, if he did kill himself right there and then, then that was totally unexpected. Akiyuki with amnesia is awesome in my honest opinion. It also seems to play on the title of "Lost Memories." Haru loving Akiyuki is fine and dandy, but what's her reason? Good episode though. I'm glad I was able to see episode 14 this month.

Yes loved seeing Furuichi go out the way was just made of cool felt bad for him though since he had finally come to terms about what had happened and was going on between him and got over it. Go-go confession about akiyuki that way and seriously I hope Akiyuki grows a pair eventually...

a little bit predictable and Akira-esque for me...with the exception of Furuichi at the end. There was some really good animation, especially when the tentacles come at Akiyuki while the camera is straight on him.

well, it was predictable that Fuuruichi died, after he said those words at the shop.
I thougt he'd let himself be killed by those soliders...
... didn't expect him to rip off his own head though <.<

I really want to see how they develop this, with Akiyuki getting his memories back and also the love interest thing. Excellent episode though.

Friggin' finally.

So.

I won't be surprised (although he might be) if Furuichi is actually still alive... I have the impression that Xam'ds are made of some pretty tough stuff.

Turquoise Xam'd next week.

I hoped that Furuichi "devillain"s himself, as he did as he called Akiyuki his best friend. But his suicide shocked and surprised me. It was so sad... They could do a bit more with his character.

Anyway, Furuichi losing his head was nothing but awesome. And I think that, if he's alive, the producers will be making a huuuge mistake. Because they made his death preety sad, it'll be strange if he suddenly reappear from nothing.

Akiyuki losing his memories was lol! Haru confessing her feelings was lol!
In the end, Xam'd is back with full power. And I hope this can become better!

Once again a very strange episode, I didn't catch why Akiyuki didn't try to resist to Furuichi or the army, but the ending with masked Akiyuki and Furuichi literally choping his own head off was great. It's like the authors want to create a very realistic and psychological show, but at the same time, it's pretty simple, not realistic at all and the references are quite obvious (Nausicaä, Eureka Seven and Akira in this episode), so I have very mixed feelings about it.

Good insight there, I didn't even think about it, but it's actually an interesting theory.

There is the high chance Furichi's Hiruko will be used by the army, with or without his body attached to it.

I do feel a little melancholy over Furuichi's death but was more shocked at the whole incident.

Btw, how come Akiyuki just walks up to the army robot guy? Couldn't he have ran away when he saw it?

Who knows what kinda shit a Hiruko does to your body - his head (or any other body part) may not be vital anymore. As I said, I won't be surprised if he is still alive, much to his chagrin.

The whole part where Furuichi rips his own head off just left me going... *Blink blink* 'Wait, WHAT?!' O.O

I was actually a bit sad when it happened too, especially after he ordered those ramune drinks.

But great episode, one of the best so far. Easily a 5/5.

Would suck if the crazy Doctor brought Furuichi back to life and brain washed him lol.

Looks like Akiyuki will wonder around and learn about how people are living in different parts of the world and then come to a conclusion on what he/Xam'd must do and of course get his memories back in the process.

Whoa, Furuichi surprised me for a bit. Was pretty sad, was hoping they would have at least got a chance to talk to each other after this bit (Furuichi and Akiyuki). This whole series gave off an "epic" vibe, so much that I had to marathon it to catch up to this point (And I usually watch one or two episodes of anime per WEEK).

One of the best episodes I have seen (in any anime) recently. Everything else seems lackluster in comparison these days.

Extremely good episode, after several dull ones, they made up for it in this one ep. What needs to be said has already been.

I need next episodes now.

Great episode. <3 Haru even more and Furuichi is pwnzorz, too bad he is gone. Would've been cool to see him and Akiyuki and Raigor or was it Raigyo battling side by side against the real enemy. And maybe the Lost Memories part of the title is because of this? anyway great episode. can't wait for the next one.
