Awww... young Nakiami's just too cute ^_^

I don't claim to understand it all yet, but then again that's what the last episode is for. Definitely enjoyable though, and hopefully the characters won't all have to sacrifice themselves for others choices and mistakes, as seems likely.

I'm getting a feeling that Akiyuki & Nakiami won't be around at the end of epi 26....

Do you think so? I hope not. I mean, Akiyuki still needs to keep that promise to Haru..
mod edit: You are too awesome for a signature.

I'm sad. So very sad. If Akiyuki and Nakiami die, oh wow, I'm going to rage. Rage so hard.

I must say, this episode was everything I hoped it would be as a crescendo of the series. Xam'd: Lost Memories has at least one thing it can claim to be perfect: the story-telling. This anime's plot is told like a very good novel. It's exceptional. Studio Bones seems to have an exceptional grasp of how to organize the story, reveal as much information as necessary when necessary, and give an overall excellent delivery. Not to say the anime as a whole is perfect. It's not. But it's exceptional, at a minimum. Episode 25 showed me one of the best fight scenes I've seen in a long time. Something that was as satisfying intellectually as it was merely in respect to action. I'm happy with this.


u've read my thoughts amigo... :|

i agree to the comment that this is like a novel
very good storytelling
and the fight scenes on this episode is very much a trade mark of bones

So am I the only one who thought that they tried to pack in too much backstory, and as a result, the weight of Akiyuki and the Hiruken Emperor's "relationship" didn't come across as good as it should have? I really wish that they had integrated the Hiruken Emperor a lot earlier in the show. It might have even been better if what's-his-name (akiyuki's friend) had been/become one with the Emperor. Everything in this episode felt forced, and without proper build up.

I was bored, this wasn't a bad episode, just disappointing.


Exactly. Too much background goes unexplained and is just missed in the clouds of the story and the large cast is slowly going under-exploited as this slow show is trying to become more dynamic and ipmpressive but somewhat fails. A big dissapointment, it could have been SO much better with a proper execution.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Uh oh, will this end badly? Feels like there is a possibility, pretty good episode, will be interesting to see how this series concludes.

Uhuh...

Anyone else feel like they missed a whole wealth of exposition on things like the Hiruken Emperor, Lady Sannova, and the Quickening Chamber somewhere in the past twenty-five episodes? I can't help but feel this is a show that would have benefitted greatly from a longer episode count.


yes, and used those other episodes to explain what are those things aforementioned above as well as other things like the abilities of Xam'ds, the Tessik Race, the geography of the Xam'd World, the North and the South factions, as well as expound more on the Postal Ship's crew's past. Just wishful thinking but it would have been great if they included some more facts as not to let the viewer's get baffled and what is really happening. Of course, you can figure out what is happening in the last few episodes but on how they happened and what caused those things to happen aren't quite explained in the series.

Hope some more facts are revealed by the next episode. And the Hiruken Emperor and Akiyuki scene where Akiyuki gives him his name is total win. :D

This anime's plot is told like a very good novel.


A very good novel by Dr Seuss?

Here's a QFT:


I think it would have been better as 8 OVAs.

Cut out all the ship stuff prior to Raiygo.
Cut a bunch of the crap between Raiygo coming and Akiyuki/Nakiami leaving.
Cut out about 3/4 of Nakiami and Yango adventures.
Completely cut out Midori.
Leave Haru in only temporarily to make Furuichi jealous for the Furu/Aki fight, then cut her.
Have Nakiami be the one who saves Akiyuki after the hiruken shadow tells him to jump.
Cut out the grandma.
Cut out the old scientist guy.
Cut out 9/10ths of Akiyukis parents.
Cut out Toujiro and Sukakki.

The back story between Nakiami and Sannova was interesting. Young Nakiami was cute as anything.
A good episode.
