If you want action, you're watching the wrong show. I love these dialogue heavy episodes. The setting under which the dialogue takes place does not bother me in the slightest. It makes me think a lot-which many anime (eg. SAO *cough*) don't. The plot twists also impress me. Samon seems like an idiot but I don't think he's the final boss.

The manga for this show is targetted toward a shounen demographic, but I feel it should be a bit older (not quite seinen but close-heck it might be closer to shoujo than shounen tbh). Don't like it? Go watch Naruto then :P

Awful. I'm sick of all the talking in one place.
Whole episode was one mindfuck and waste of time.
Last 2 episodes are worse than I've imagined..
If you were expecting a action show instead of clever dialogue that is your fault not the shows. I mean if you dont like writing that actually makes sense or is smart that doesnt rely on animation in fights to sell BD's and want pointless action you can always watch sword art online or some other drivel that lowers IQ's of all who watch

Also if you are going to use the its all in one spot thing, then you are wrong there seeing how thats just where yoshino and mahiro have been, these past 3 eps have been randomly shifting perspectives between every single character introduced

How many episodes will this series have? Cause it looks like it's ending.

BTW nothing new... another great episode. One of the things that has stand out the most for me in this series has been the amazing music score, and their execution of the BGM. I want the soundtrack ASAP!!

And now, if Hakaze is the killer of Aika, she win :

If Samon make Hakaze come back, to give Mahiro the killer, he'll lose
If Samon don't give Hakaze to Mahiro, Mahiro will shoot, and Samon will be forced to make Hakaze come back, and he'll lose

Logic is powerfull :p

Nicely done Yoshino :D
I was also expecting a mind-blowing theory explaining the time paradox. However, He ended up deceiving us all. I thought hilarious the way he toyed with Samon.
Mahiro knows him too well. He knows what Yoshino was aiming for, and he admitted falling for it - cause he did not completely joined Samon's side.

I can;t wait to see more!

Just going to say that Evangeline is pretty cool this episode especially with that personality, not to mention hot :p. Hell, she even uses a spear rather than a gun this time. I was hoping she would win against Natsumura but oh well..

I found the talk between Samon, Mashino, Yashino, and Hazake are bit dragged but overall, I enjoyed this episode. Oh, and Samon is more concerned and pissed as ever LOL.

It was great to see Hakaze act lively again and regain her confidence. Nice one Yoshino. And oh yeah, he even got Mahiro back on his side again, or well... for now I guess since they still have to find a way to travel through time.

Dat ass, I like these fanservice moments from Hakaze.

I loved this episode, I loved watching Samon get so annoyed, haha.

But I was thinking about it and I think I could guess who Aika's killer was...
What if Hakaze-san killed her? Think about it, without Aika-chan's death Mahiro wouldn't have any motivation to help Hakaze, and none of this would have happened. It's also true that the murderer was someone from the Kusaribe clan. Hakaze-san is stuck two years in the past, and Aika-chan was killed one year ago. Assuming she's saved from the island before a year passes, and she really is stuck in the past, it's very possible that she was the murderer.

I kind of get a bad vibe from him for some reason, him and a ressurected aika or even dead aika planning all that would happen are probably my 2 picks for possible main villain, im going more with him just cause he kind of gives off a vibe that he is more powerful than everyone else and has a plan of some sorts, I'm basing this all off crazy inferences here though and have no backing proof aside from him taking down that spear guy, also keep in mind i finsihed dangan ronpa not to long ago so my mind still is thinking outside of the box for the craziest theories cause thats just how unexpected things got in that game so im over thinking this most likley

I just know samon is not the villain

エアリエル! "Ariel is Prospero's eyes and ears throughout the play" The Tempest wiki.
Seems like Yoshino/Mahiro are playing Ariel, and Hakaze as Prospero. But Yoshino's a real schemer, very logical theory, but he inadvertently forces Samon to reveal time shift magic is real (goes against Genesis logic) and lift Hakaze out of despair which means she'll try to survive for 2 years at least.
Or as Ariel the Mermaid, she can try swimming out.
Just theories, but seeing the winds reverse with awesome bgm seem to suggest the past can alter the present.
Also nice Evangeline fight.

The barrel etching was a great scene. I sort of wish they would hurry up now, as Mahiro has been toying with that talisman for a few episodes now.

I am enjoying the battle between Yoshino and Samon though, the latter's breakdown is priceless.

Lawl. Samon had his little, "I win" moment and then Yoshino bluntly states the answer. Haha, dropping his sword and then scrambling to pick it up.

Samon's long ass, inner monologues are hilarious. What a Drama Queen.

Yoshino is pretty damn manipulating. What a bawss. Can't wait to see what they think up of and why Junichiro suddenly joined this party.

From the title of the next episode, it sounds like Aika really is involved with the Kusaribe Clan before all this happened. Guess that was to be expected though after time travel shenanigans.

Wow, that episode was really amazing. Yoshino's rhetorical skills are really top notch, I love those skills in anime. Amazing speeches from a likable character are really the best, Yoshino's voice also fits that purpose, though the best voices for amazing speeches are definitely those of Lelouch and Clannad's Tomoya.

I want to see more of Hakaze, so I hope their plan succeeds soon. :P

Just a thought: what if Yoshino had asked Hakaze to break the barrel?

That would have been the easiest way to expose Samon's trickery. If the barrel was smashed 2 years ago, it couldn't very well exist in the present. Which means a) Samon lied about the barrel and skeleton being the same as 2 years ago, or b) there are alternate realities, which means Hakaze could still be alive in the present, but in a different timeline.

I don't know the story of Hamlet nor The Tempest so I went and read just the synopsis to get a feel for it since the characters like comparing their situation with the tragedies. Apparently what Hakaze wrote on the barrel is a reference to The Tempest, Ariel is the name of one of the characters, you learn something everyday

He already knew that Yoshino was just pulling shit from out of his ass to make him admit that there really was a time difference . . . This anime is kind of forgetting previously established thought processes, which is slightly annoying. Plus if it took 3 generations of highly skilled mages to create that barrier, wouldn't you then imagine that it would take a considerable amount of time to find a way to break it? On the other hand it should only take a little bit of time to find Aika's murder . . . Although there is also the outside situation where the military has broken the force field pretty much and the tree is close to being finished . . . This all seems a tad bit late.

I literally didn't even notice the fan service that so many are talking about in this episode.

Even with the villains constant "There's no way he'll be able to figure out this out." quips, this may be my favorite episode, because dear god was the main character crafty!

Good epiosde, not better than the previous, but this is just a continuation of it. Samon seems to really be weak minded, for a simple boy to intellectually outmaneuver you to this extend means that you aren't fit for a leader position, and your plan probably have some big holes in there. Of course, Yoshino doesn't seem to be your ordinary boy. Mahiro is reacting very calming to all of this chaos. He really doesn't care one way or another, but there are signs that he cares a bit more about being on Hakaze's side.

wow Yoshino... damn. I love badass leads those who can kick people's asses with their powers and skill but those clever dudes like Yoshino is just on another level. Like Lelouch and Light... damn. nice.

Yoshino's theory was wrong but it made a lot of sense compared to the steins ; gate shit Samon is pulling and the tree of Genesis who happens to have some connection with logic (I forgot) will do everything to save Hakaze. It connects the dots.
