An ok episode. The ghost chick is cute, but needed more Mikan this episode. The president was pretty cool at the end though. Nothing more awesome than a simple wardrobe change that causes you to sound different and act cooler ;P

Again, the timeline seems to be bouncing all over the place... but I can't say that I really mind. I was surprised that she was a ghost! I'm going to have to go back now, and re-watch somethings... I thought the girl addressed her in the first episode, and she didn't have magic, did she?

Even if it's not very plot intensive, I like this show :)

I agree! If there's one thing I want to know, is what exactly his eye is. And if there are things it can't do (ie: last episode??)

Like faust said, it needs more mikan :3

It was ok. Didnt expect her to be a ghost.

When the president used his eye he had the exact same voice as Lelouch when he uses Geass. Seeing as it's the same seiyuu it's not that weird. But still...both have eyepowers and now the same voice. o_O

Ditto on the more Mikan comments. <3

Timeline bouncing? The way I see it, the story time line began from episode 2. Episode 1 was a taste of an Astral mission where all the members are involved. Thanks to Fullmetal Alchemist, I see what are they trying to do here. So with Manami recruited, now Astral is complete.

I loved this episode. It was sad on the Manami being lonely part but it had a joyful end. Itsuki kakoi!! The first time he opened his eye (episode 1) I had a blank expression lol. THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the real Itsuki-Teichou. (b ^^)b

Manami was in the last episode, so that was bouncing thought. But I've never seen Fullmetal Alchemist or anything like that, so it must be my inexperience *blush*

Is Astral complete though? Who's that guy in the OP (with the black bracelets, I think?)?

I like Manami & Nekoyashtiki (sp?), his cats are awesome. So this was a good episode for me. That witch sure could use an attitude adjustment, shes so mean to the president.

Honami needs to lighten the frick up. I'm getting tired of her.

Much improved over the last (read: first) three episodes, which were a slog to get through. Still falls a tad flat, though. Saved by Nekoyashiki and Manami, who have together convinced me to give it just one more episode.

LOL, that is sooo correct, just like the other ones.
The only good parts it has is watching the President coordinate attacks, and maybe the curiosity of his eye...

well.. timeline bouncing pretty much confuses me
1st episode : they show us pretty much a taste of what the anime is going to be
2nd: we could call it first, but its when addie meets with the itsuki
3rd : mika goodness, yet, since manami showed up there... and she hadnt joined yet... i got clueless
4th: manami joins... left me with a wtf face...

but, i am a mikan and manami fan, so it was a pretty decent episode

Hahaha oooh man, this is gonna go on forever isn't it.

btw I finally decided to take a closer look at the ED video, and I finally paid attention to what was going on with the scrolling text in the bars. That's actually pretty darn cool.

Although you are right, as far as I noticed also, that she doesn't use magic, she had technically been surrounded by magic, albeit unknowingly, for over 5 years, and it could have had a passive effect on her whereas she could now notice the more supernatural of things, IE, ghosts. She was also enveloped by the Demon/Grandpa thing, which may have had something to do with it.

This was actually a good episode I must say, quite liked the whole ghost hospital concept, and the fact she's interesting on her own was pretty lovely as well! Let's see what's next though.

Can someone explain, why the hell it's bouncing all over the time? Are you supposed to read novel to make sense of this?

Manami the ghost girl sure is cute. She reminds me of Kirie Fujou from KnK <3
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
