FINALLY!!! Takumi became badass!

not really >.>

Nanami isn't supposed to have 2 hands! D:

but this episode wasn't too bad

Takumi's awakening and his sword are UBER lame. Just a piece of crap as a sword, compared to the rest of the swords. . .

Boo, they left out my favourite line by Takumi! Where was that package for Takumi too, I was so looking forward to see his face when he opens it, damn.
Oh well finally Takumi got his Di-Sword and kicking ass! Looking forward to next ep!

my favorite part in the VN is finally going to be animated :) yay, thank god they didnt decide to do the B ending, not that the censors would let them do a decent job in the first place.

WHAT THE HELL? Her hand just magically comes back? And where the heck is that police lady?? Gah, all the emotion is gone from the anime... That scene with Sena was suppose to be really emotional too.

It is weird.
Why won't the girls go help him out. Like Kozupii since she was just sitting there. @_@
But this is my fav. ep so far since. Taku becomes more manly than before. :D

OMG ! finally TAKUMI got his sword ^^
hahas . && finally he is not that coward nehs :D hahas . weeee ~ xD
wahhs . btu sads . next ep is the LAST !><

its like some of you are just looking for a reason to complain...

I don't know about everyone else, but I liked this episode. The series changed direction from horror mystery to what seems like typical action, but for me, that started way back with the introduction of the D Swords. So now, I'm just accepting the show for what it has morphed into. I have no problem with it though, since all I want to see is Takumi lay the final smackdown and the show will be over. I didn't expect them to do much except rush during the final two episodes, because come on, it's only 12 episodes. The Anime can't do the VN any justice with just 12 episodes.

nonsense on top of nonsense...that really is the perfect description of this show. How did Nanami get her hand back? Flying bugs? Failed attempt at character development for Sena? No explaination for crippled Takumi or crippled-alien baby? Terrible.

Anyway, this episode was better than the last few but still pretty bad. Even if I didn't play the game I think I would hate this by now. Even the art is dropping horribly in quality.

Seriously, I don't get why this anime turned out this way. It's a given that it wasn't going to be as good as the game and that a lot of the emotion and side events that come into play are going to be dropped. It's understandable that the scene with Grim and Takumi in this episode isn't going to be as good because they didn't establish the close-ness between them like in the game. That's fine. But all they had to do was get rid of all the weird crap they added, like the pointless episode of Sena, Kozu-pii, and Takumi fighting the fake Norose that NEVER HAPPENED in the game at all. Then take the space they opened up from getting rid of that episode, and make an episode out of the thing. Then, add another episode to make it 13 rather than 12 and flesh out these ending parts. Less censoring and more epic-ness. They left out BOTH of my favorite parts in this episode.

So, honestly, I can excuse things that they couldn't help. Some things had to be left out and some things had to be rushed. But there is so much horribly crap that has been done to this anime that as a fan of the game I am actually offended.


tl;dr: This anime sucks big time. Go play the game.

And it's out in English with an Anti-Fail patch. Don't ask me for it, though. It's been posted here before and can be found all over the place. Few spelling and text errors but worth not waiting and playing RIGHT NOW.

Well, there sure were some disturbing elements to this episode, censored or not. Erratic pacing, as usual yet so much potential. Too short of a series, obviously. The sentimental parts are hard to take seriously which was okay before, but now that it has gotten this serous, it's not okay. Other than that, I am tempted to improve the rating due to the overall concept even though it is clearly contrived of existential philosophy, God, and man which seems to permeate every cyber-punk anime out there thanks to Lain.

Thbbpt.

How easy is it to follow the 'true' route of the VN? I like my entertainment planned out for me (usually).

I'm so sad. I really loved this anime (and I'll assume it's due to the fatc that I didn't play the game first). Now, it's... well... no one's said it yet, but the last two episodes of Evangelion (i.e. rushed to the point of absurdity). I literally docked it a point for this episode and might dock it another if the ending is nearly as bad.

Did the people making the anime forget the simple rules of psychologic anime? Allow me to remind them:

Rule 1: Crush the audience's ability to think logically. They will submit after a few episodes of trying to figure things out and just go with the flow. (Check.)
Rule 2: Slowly drop hints throughout the series about what's really happening, but cover it up well enough to not make it obvious. The goal is to make the auidence say at the end, "Wait... what? Oh wait! I get it! WOW!" (Semi-check for semi-decent covering.)
Rule 3: Broaden the explanations a little as the plot swells towards the end. Let the audience start to realize things they couldn't possibly know otherwise. (Check.)
Rule 4: As the ending draws near and the climax is reached, explain everything. Leave nothing unclear. (FAIL! No check for you!)
Rule 5: Don't vary too much. Keep the characters who they are, but change the parts that are necessary for character developement now that all is explained and the characters understand everything better now. (Fail!)
Rule 6: The main characters, with their combined strength, wills, and determination, join as one to fight against the main entity that has been threatening them and their happiness since the beginning, have a hard-fought victory, and return to an even happier future. (Looks like Takumi's going in all alone, so I'm going to give this a failing grade for now.)

I don't know why I just went through all that trouble to type that all out. I guess I'm just feeling a bit betrayed by an anime I was so dearly in love with only an hour or so ago.

Hopefully the last episode will show a bit of redemption for this most recent one's sins.

EDIT: I planned to play the game when the anime was done. Now I HAVE to do it so that I can understand what the hell I've been watching for the past few months. (Goodness knows they didn't explain it worth a damn...)

I gave up my will to wait for m.3.3.w and went for DR. I just had to know whats next, and I'm glad I did. I love the song at the end, does anyone know the title?

Might be in the OST when it comes out. I myself want some songs from this anime in my collection.

Best episode so far imo, but that's not saying much really. It's still full of shit.
The bugs made me lol. Oh and yeah, new hand ftw.

Funny episode xD

Yeah. The Episode was really cool.
And Kozu-pii's Voice is back too. Yay! <3
