I'm surprised its almost 8 cause barely nothing much happened plot wise until like around episode 8. Plus I can't really connect with the characters like I did with Free!, Kokoro Connect, and Chuuinbyou. |

| Well that was a clusterfuck of incidental on the spot exposition and stuff happening. baltazak said: i can not understand why this anime have not high regard on this site i mean he clearly doesn't deserve 7 !! A 4 or soft 5 seems much fairer in my book. Roloko said: I'm guessing the 13th episode will be an OVA? Thirteenth up is supposedly a Christmas special that will air after 12. I have a feeling its unrelated to the mess happening now so looks like is has 20 minutes to wrap up next week |

| Well that escalated quickly at the end. It's only 12 episodes though? |

| wow great episode! 5/5 |
 |
| Great episode Akkey's mom made my day haha! |

| So my guess was spot on mostly from last week's build up. That being said, the pacing in this episode was pretty fast. Especially that ending fused with the Opening Song, so many things happened, I had to rewind a bit on what was going on. Kuriyama sent him, one very long phone message, probably maximized all the characters. That was one helluva random way to send messages via flying printed paper to meet at the literary club, his mother's logic is beyond the boundary. And of course, holy hell he charged the relic with a car battery plugged into it while having a soliloquy explaining the plot points. The mother and son rough relationship was really new and funny. On a serious note, I do want to know how did his mom get the Youmu stone which Kuriyama grabbed after the whole Hollow Shadow aftermath and thought it was worthless piece of rock. The mother's appearance was really a plot convenience but I believe there might be a deeper explanation for her "all-knowing" attitude. |

| I understand the "catch 22" Izumi was in, but did she have to be such a cold-hearted bitch about it? I mean, seriously?! Akihito's mother... *smh* The next episode is the last one? I thought there were 13 episodes. Sent with Mal Updater |

pakoko said: Lol not to be a buzzkill but I'm still cringing from how cheesy this episode was: "I don't feel unpleasant..." "Make sure to get ready to kick her back to the moon," *makes a break to save Kuriyama* Not the only one, I was thinking of how cheesy her text was too. I think if it was a little shorter it might've been more effective for me. But still cute I guess because Mirai's changed so much since the beginning. That ending though had me go wtf is happening. The action looks pretty cool as always but for some reason I didn't really understand it. |
| Best episode of the series for me. Not a classic by any means but still very enjoyable. |
| Is Akkey's mom the youkai or the human? |
 |
| I very much wish they hadn't wasted time on petty episodes like the one where they sing to catch that youmu. 20 minutes doesn't feel like nearly enough to finish this anime. This episode was really fast paced but so amazing that I just loved it. |
| what an epic episode. .that ending, animation and bgm doesn't make me tired replaying it.. also akki puch his mother is soo badass ahaha.., |
 |
| This anime is truly one of my favs like top 10 |

| i really like how they bumped up the story telling in the past few episodes. |
    |
| Akkey's mother and her bizarre appearance :P |
 |
| Good stuff, I wish we didn't have to go through the first 6 crappy episodes before. |
 |
| Really love this show, but I hope they explain and wrap-up everything well. Unless they have a second season, which would be great. |
| Only 2 more episodes to go! I think Kyoukai no Kanata is up there for surprise of the fall season. By the way, anyone else thinks that the ED in this is flawless? That song is just so awesome! Can't wait for next week! |
| Akkey's mom's hilarious. So did Akkey get back his immortality or some thing back when he joined with the Mirai's Akkey version? |
| Ending made my heart flutter. His mom was quite amusing too. Though I do wish they got a bit into his history/backstory or something. |
| Dat shiny sphere... Made my eyes sparcle. |
| Art should be left alone by those unenlightened, raw and uncensored as it is, because enough refinement was already done by it's creator, in it's creation. |
| too many unexplained plot holes :\ felt really rushed |

| A lot of action happening in that other world. Funny how the guys were just sitting there while watching Akihito and his mom argue lol. |

| Is it really the final ep next week? But its 13 eps in all right? hm. Good ep. Fan service from Akkey's mom this time. |
  |
| amazing episode explained a bit more about the story, but she's still pretty much stuck Akihito's mother came out of nowhere showing how to save Mirai, I found forced through this part .. really like this anime scene cuts, as well as the soundtrack |
  |
| Akihito's mom is so cutee. I hope she explain how she knew those things. So much happened in the last few seconds. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| this was an amazing episode! akkey's mom is hot and i loved the ending with the OP song insert, so good :D |
| Felt rushed. This show doesn't really create an atmosphere for me because it's squeezing too much stuff in one episode. |
| Every episode thus far is so <3 Akki's mother got introduced, which is nice and I like the way she acts, even for her age :) The ending was so amazing, Akihito saving Mirai, aiding her against Beyond the Boundary <3 |
 |
Zeally said: too many unexplained plot holes : felt really rushed Yeah, it's looking like last week is going to hold up as the episode that had the least overall problems of any episode in this show. We're back to 2/5 territory here again sadly after a more decent effort last time. I find it funny that this episode got the title Black World when it was last episode that felt more melancholic. |
| Story so far. Hope I got this all right. Nase Izumi contacts Kuriyama Mirai offering her a task of vanquishing great calamity bringer Beyond the Boundary. Mirai transfer to same class as Akihito (BtB host) and starts killing him. Due to being fused with Beyond the Boundary Akihito is immortal and as such Mirai attacks are harmless. First tactics failed. Second opportunity came when Hollow Shadow came to the city. Mirai wanted to beat him as a revenge for childhood friend death but failed. Akihito the immortal helped her by becoming host to the Hollow Shadow. They won and Akihito gone wild. He was later subdued with the help of Nase family and his teacher. Mirai once again failed to kill Beyond the Boundary weakened by Hollow Shadow. She got too attached to Akihito. Then the Calm came. Izumi made sure that Akihito would manifest into Beyond the Boundary. Izumi told Mirai that She can use her cursed blood and draw BtB from Akihito and thus save him. Mirai did just that. What Izumi didn't predict was that Beyond the Boundary would fuse with Mirai (or her blood) and seal both of them in pocket dimension. Mirai was able to battle BtB for 3 month without taking a break. How was Mirai able to fight for so long? Cursed blood, sad memories, BtB taking all super natural power from humans or maybe Mirai wish for Akihito to have normal life. Since they are one then they are immortal and can battle for all eternity. With tiny shard snapped from Beyond the Boundary Akihito goes to save Mirai and after few more action packed scenes they finally reunite. Then the freaking episode ends :( |
| The fight scenes and the shots of the boundary were amazing. A son hitting his mother, nobody has a problem with that? no? okay, her knight gag was hilarious. |
 |
| This episode was so awesome and action packed for a second I thought this was the last episode of the series and I got sad but it is not WOOT!' Great episode!!! |
 |
| Series really bumped up its storytelling but I feel the pacing is way too fast now. Packed too much explanation into one episode. The scene with Akihito running to Mirai was good with the OP song which I love. I know your mom is annoying but you don't need to knock her around, I know it was supposed to be funny but it really bothered me for some reason. |

| Now that was friggin awesome, I love this show |
| gosh that ending!! That "serves you right" word! This episode is really 15/10 to me! (except when Yayoi appears..) |

| thats one heck of an episode and lol at the mother she is hot though and last episode next week! i hope its a happy ending one |
| Akihito's mum is so random and funny. Loved how he caught Kuriyama as she was falling. The final battle is beginning. |

| Is it just me or have a lot of people given up on this show way too early? I remember when this series was within it's first 6 or 7 episodes and people were calling it a massive disappointment from Kyoto Ani. However, it seems like they really didn't give this series a chance to come to fruition. The last 3 or 4 episodes have been simply outstanding. I'd even put this up there with Hyouka in regards to how great its been. |
