| Damn! What a great episode. I wanna see the next episode badly!! |
 |
| ahdghjasfskjgh bb Mahiro was so precious here i wanna hug him (づ ಥ⌣ಥ )づ |
| Love the ending song..lol don't having anything to say:D |
 |
| Overall I didn't like this episode. I mean I seen it for what it was, a talking episode, but it didn't feel that big of an impact. And saving Aika seems dumb. Or thinking of it, honestly I think that might be what kills her. Or maybe not. Meh I'll keep watching but short of some plot point this isn't one of the better shows of the winter. Though might get better, I don't judge a product till it is done. |
| Soooooooooooooooo , she is going to turn back in the past . Awesome , can't wait for the next week . |

His choices are a dead girl and a living girl.....its obvious the only 2 choices are no one or hakazeI don't really know who will Yoshino end up with... Well.... remember Hakaze was also dead, but she managed to break through the space-time continuum - or something like that. Also, Hakaze is going back in time and she will be meeting Aika. Anything can happen. I expect a twist of events. |

| What a trainwreck... I had thought shit would get real by episode 18, but here we are going to 20 and nothing yet. |
 |
| Another interesting episode. Glad they made up peacefully, for now at least. I am still betting Fuwa is the mage of Exodus. Although I can't really remember, was it 100% confirmed Fuwa actually died? |

| This week was sokayz kinda hoped Mahiro would have gave Yoshino a beat down but they made up. Next week is going to be so epicness. |

| Along with Sakurasou, Zetsuen is really the only series that makes me anticipate the next episode every week. Both series began last season, which I think only speaks to how weak the new season (starting back in January) is... In any case, the alien hypothesis seems to make sense on some level, but I can't help but feel like it's a distractor from something bigger and something we're missing. The preview for next episode gives me the chills when it showed Hakaze walking by Aika. Aika seems to know her -- and this only deepens the mystery. Hakaze is still going on full lovey-dovey mode. That's fine I guess. With 5 episodes to go though, I can't see a Yoshino-Hakaze pairing. |
| Animation quality of this episode was imo pretty bad. I didnt expect Mahiro to be so ''calm'' about everything.Thought he will hit Yoshino or at least get angry, but i guess hes not such a hothead after all.Still, Yoshino is imo an more interesting character. After this episode im going with Aika>>>>>Hakaze all the way.I cant get enough of Aika, and hell yes! next episode gonna be epic, or well, so i hope.Can't wait, especially because most of previous episodes (every after like 13th) didnt really make me much excited.After that whole fight, something is missing imo, and it looks like next episodes might have IT. 3.5/5 not bad, but it could be better. |
 |
| ENGLISH iluminate me please "SPECULATIONS"(since this anime is made for this) So. I think we all know this far that Aika is not just a "girl", she knows too much, she is too selfconfident and it is almost like she knew she was going to die-correction, I quote -SHE KNOWS SHE'S GONNA DIE-. Last scene from the preview makes me think Aika knows Hakaze is coming, and I'm sure Hakaze wants to stop Aika from being murder BUT I am also sure that Aika tells her that she needs to be killed for some universal balance blahblablah ,or Aika IS INDEED not a good character meaning she might be doing some nasty stuff for her cause and she is going to do something reaaaallly bad like Yoshino's being killed bad or sthg like that and she tells Hakaze and what do we have.YES ....so the question is Why... Well.. hope that question is answered next Thursday |
| I thought Mahiro would go berserk and kill Yoshino but he took it unexpectedly well. I wonder whether will it end up with a happy ending or open ending or if we see some more plot twist... only 5 episodes to go. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| Already spoiled myself on what will happen when she meets Aika, but I can't wait to see it actually get adapted. polaskaroid said: I have not read the manga, but from the looks of things everything points to Hakaze killing Aika. |
 |
| Good episode. I liked how things worked out with the boys. I can't wait to see what happens when Hakaze heads back into the past. |

hiabara said: polaskaroid said: Must resist clicking !!!! why do i always lose this game... i don't know what it is about this show, but the spoiler buttons are more tempting than ever /sigh Ahahah. I ended up clicking all the spoilers in the character selection during the half way point. I couldn't keep my temptation. |
|
| Really boring episode. The first half of the series was better than the second half, to be honest. |
| This was kind oh meh, I feel like the author is running out of good ideas. I remember that in the first part time travel was impossible and fucking hard to do and blabla. And now it's just "hey let's time travel!"... What nonsense. Hopefully the remaining 5 episodes will be better. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Well, Mahiro and Yoshino's bond is pretty strong for them to settle this so easily. I like the way Mahiro thinks. He has no right to hit Yoshino because he was the one that didn't act on his own feelings at the time. Hakaze traveling to the past and actually meeting Aika is bound to be interesting! Can't wait to see it and to finally find out the truth about her death. What if Hakaze was the one unable to control herself and actually killed her for her love for Yoshino? |
 |
| Even though this show isn't executed the best, it has really intelligent things and morals more than your typical Shounen show. o.o LOL next episode's title! Whodunnit. XD |
| Hakaze & Aika meeting will he VERY interesting. I loved how the boys are reunited again, and how they settled things - such Bros! |
  |
| Hajimari Tree and Zetsuen Tree came together and tried to outdo each other... Somehow I get the Evangelion vibe.. In Evangelion, the Black Moon and the White Moon came to the Earth from outer space at the same time... |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
MasterMeNL said: Remember in this episode they also said that to float the Fruit of Zetsuen took a lot of effort but Hakaze did it with little effort. That's the overwhelming difference between the Princess and everyone else. I remember that in the first part time travel was impossible and fucking hard to do and blabla. And now it's just "hey let's time travel!"... What nonsense. Anyway, I think the story has moved quite a lot in this episode, and it still gets time to have flashbacks and more abstract talks like Fraulein's objective observations of the other 5 characters, which I find pretty insightful. Hakaze, Yoshino and Mahiro may be tough and strong (as you can see when Hakaze was told about the stunning theory that the Tree is an alien weapon or Yoshino is a Zetsuen Wizard, or when Yoshino and Mahiro talked it over about Aika) but they may be too trapped in the past and are pursuing some unrealizable dream, but Hayakawa and Samon may be too willing to stop at nothing to aim at survival for everyone. |

| I agree with hiabara, I think Evageline's character is underrated and I would love to see more of her in this series. Smart, bold and confident, she is always optimistic and is always smiling whatever the situation. It was good seeing Mahiro calm and collected when confronting Yoshino. I think Hanemura exposing his feelings for Aika gave him a lot of time to reflect. However, to me, Mahiro is a wildcard and unpredictable, besides he is still sticking to his agenda in regards to Aika's killer. I am not a fan of the Hakaze and Yoshino pairing and I hope the series doesn't end on that note note. Her openness about her feelings would be cute, if she wasn't constantly comparing herself to Aika. I think I liked Hakaze's personality better when she was on the island. Looking forward to the next episode, as I have read that Hakaze and Aika will finally meet. |
| Loved the reconciliation scene between Mahiro and Yoshino. It was just so nice to see these two become bros again. But haha it feels a bit awkward now with everyone being back together and seeing these these guys actually joke about Aika. This upcoming Aika and Hakaze confrontation or meeting is going to be really interesting to watch indeed. I can't wait to see what they'll say to each other. Yoshino's loyalty is admirable but this makes me sad about Hakaze's chances to end up with him :/. |
 |
| So it's two mages battles and two friends "talk". Wow, Mahiro is not hitting Yoshiro. I feel that Suwabe-san voices multiple characters. And lol @ Hakaze showing up as if nothing happens. lol @ after the talk. Wait, time travelling?? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| kinda amusing episode " she could have an even better rack" |

That would boost their confidence. oh and she's protected by tree of genesis. |

For Christ's sake, they've done it before, of course now they know it's possible. |
|
| Mahiro handling it like a pro #Respect and Hakaze going all bold on Yoshino was awesome. on the murderers topic: i'm calling Checkhov's gunman on Hanemura's (ex)girlfriend |
 |
| So Hakaze goes back to the past. Hmm..why do i get the feeling that this may create a circle where somewhat Hakaze maybe responsible for her death or even her killer? It's the usual time paradox stuff. For example if Aika wasn't dead Hakaze wouldn't have gone to the past to check who her killer is but by going she makes her death happen. |
| lol at Fraulein alien "Civilization blaster" theory :D (let's hope the real reason is something different) Also, this Hakaze's sentence from this episode: makes me think that there was a reason for Hakaze to fall in love with Yoshino and that someone plotted it all along. For Hakaze in love would do things she wouldn't even consider before. Though I think the one who kills Aika in the past would be Hakaze not be able to look at Yoshino and Aika in love. Things are going to be pretty intense. Well, roughly it is like this now: Aika is dead => Mahiro has a reason to help Hakaze from island (revenge) and Yoshino doesn't want Aika's death be in wain => Tree of Genesis awakens => Hakaze falls in love with Yoshino => Hakaze kills Aika in the past (circle is complete) Which leads to the obligate question: Who plotted all this and why? Was it Aika after all? Is she real Mage of Exodus? (Hakaze could influence things from the past and therefore I think Aika can do that too). |

| Shock to see Mahiro not mad at Yoshino.but then it's his friend and his sister was with a good boyfriend. Funny how Mahiro reaction when Yoshino said about the first kiss ,date,and dating behind his back. |
 |
| Okay let me get this straight. No one currently can figure out who killed Aika, Hakaze has been worried for the last few episodes that her feelings may cause the tree to kill Yoshino's girlfriend. She still has not resolved these feelings. NOW she wants to time travel back to the past before Aika was killed?! BAD BAD BAD BAD IDEA Hakaze. It may be what she has said all along, Hakaze really is the cause of Aika's murder and set this whole mess in motion. |
