| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It's lighthearted this time but there's still feeling of despair. I guess part of that involves Mimori still and we also get to see part of her past when she first met Yuuki. The suffering continues. And what a cliffhanger also, I expect some high level battles next time in their world. |

| The revelations this week show just how desperate the situation is. These girls were caught up in a battle between gods, doomed to become crippled husks as the cycle continued endlessly until death. Given the choice I can't really blame Togo for taking the action that she did, and while she plans to destroy the Taisha nothing good can come from this no matter how it turns out. Either the heroes die from this new invasion, or they destroy the Taisha and the malevolent gods kill them anyway...talk about bleak. To say nothing of how they'll probably hafta fight Togo too...if there's anything resembling a happy ending to be found here with 2 episodes left I don't see it. |
| TAKAHIRO I WANT OFF THIS RIDE!! |
| Despair is everywhere ;-; I can't see a happy ending for this, but hopefully the situation works itself out...somehow. |
 |
| It was nice to see things from Tougou's perspective. How she met Yuna and everyone in the club. Seeing her suicide attempts though :/ Her last name being different as she was adopted by a powerful family. It really felt uncomfortable how their parents know and everything being planned out. Each time using Sange would bring 1 fairie, to use it 23 times... I honestly can see Yuna being the one to lose most of herself. Highest amplitude to be willing to sacrifice oneself for the others? Gods protecting humanity and the gods that wants to cleanse humanity and creating the vertexes. That red world and the gods protecting humanity being the tree to create a barrier. An enemy that can never be defeated, Tougou choosing to end the world by opening up a hole in the barrier. ;_; 'I'm a failure as a friend' in the preview T.T It almost feels like Yuna and perhaps everyone is going into Sange mode to be able to withheld the vertex. |
 |
| That came together so beautifully. Although the question was there about Togo's legs since the disabilities began, I hadn't stopped to think about why she had 3 faeries at the start. There will be comparisons, but I don't care, I'm loving this Neon Genesis Madoka more than ever. |
| It is definitely an endless cycle. Vertexes being reborn right when you think that are defeated. This will keep happening until the girls become disabled. This is a really bad situation to be in. |
 |
| Why u do this T^T So much despair D: Didn't expect even their parents to know :O And so that scene when Mimori went through the barrier was her leaving the edges of the real world? The whole earth is just encapsulated by a tree? 21 fairies O_o? So she's lost a function in her body for more than 20 times. How the hell is she still able to smile after going through that shit :/ And Dat ending!! Millions and millions. How the hell are they gonna survive that?? |
 |
| So technically there is no end to this system seeing to amount they would have to destroy. This episode explained a lot tho, like how the girls where entered into hospital without raising questions with their parents and how they where able to go on that trip. It also makes it clear why everything was well funded like for instance the installations made for Togo to move around the school without the help of others. And that expensive camp. Another thing that stood out was the parents, i counted three couples and one extra person. I guess that last person was the guardian of the Inubouzaki sisters. The question is what was their say in it, Togo's parents where part of the organisation already and i guess the same applies to Karin's parents and the guardian of the sisters. Yuuna's parent's must have had a big money offer since it didn't seem like they where part of the organisation, but it must still be hard on them knowing what could happen to their daughter. |
| All I can respond with is :( It just gets worse and worse for the girls. |
| This episode explained everything. the funding they get, Taisha's people, it was just great. Togo finally falling in despair. can't wait for the next episode. |
| The more explanation u get the more sad u become :O |
 |
| The feeling of despair is pretty strong. It's starting to become a lot more similar to shinsekai yori. Figured it was going to diverge from those madoka vibes sooner or later. It must be really traumatic and depressing to be the parents of these girls. Take Togo for example. Her parents clearly loved her and gave her to the Taisha so that she can protect the world. But than they give her away for two years and when she comes back... And despite this they have to let her carry on doing these sacrifices to protect the world. That's pretty darn sad... |

| Destroy everything to end everyone's suffering... It makes total sense. They can't die or kill themselves… & they'll eventually end up bedridden in a hospital, knowing that there seems to be an infinite amount of vertexes to fight. Tougo, u have my respect. 9/10 |

| IF WE BURN YOU BURN WITH US |
| Nogi Sonoko.. has 21 faeries? Holy shit. Total despair :( fuck this episode :'( Everything is just getting worse.. |
 |
| So, it really has come to this then? I had a feeling it would come to someone trying to destroy the Shinju-sama to destroy the world, but I didn't expect it to go like this. But now everything that has happened makes sense. Now what's the bet on Yuna fighting Togo and ruining her plan to end their suffering? |
| Man this anime is a roller coaster of emotions..... It was first a light hearted, Slice of Life type anime, then it slowly rose to some magical girl and fantasy type anime.....and now.....Oh dear... We learned that the girls are like......offerings to the gods or something, and everytime they go Mankai, they lose a part of their body sense. o-o Man oh man! And this episode just went down hill from happy to just full on despair! The truth about the wall surrounding the world, and.....all those Vertexes......and Togo blowing up the wall...... UGH! This anime HAS to end in a happy way, please! I don't want anymore sadness to be filled in these girls! !!!!! D: |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| I wanted cute mahou shoujo anime with cute girls and stuff not freaking madoka all over again -.- |
| Bloody hell! The more you learn, the worse it gets! |

artesox said: This show is really getting more and more messed up, I mean seriously, having to choose between dying along with your world or spending the rest of your life completely crippled is just mad. I can understand Taisha's view and I can understand Tougou's view too, its just such a terrible situation. This reminds me more and more of Bokurano, I know a lot of people think in Madoka but what is truly in the game here is the girl's sense of duty as well as the adults manipulating them (Instead of an entity like Kyubey) in a situation where they must sacrifice themselves for the greater good. That ending where there is this infinite wave of enemies reminds me of a lot of sad moments, muv luv, gunbuster... and to be sincere Komm Susser Tod from End of Evangelion would fit well on those last moments. Yea, it is indeed Bokurano. |

| I believe in Togo. Togo-team! :D |
| I didn't think that this series would turn out like this. And when it took a darker turn I thought it would be another Madoka rip-off like Gen'ei, but it took a serious different turn and I really like that. And it really is serious stuff we talk about here. Fight until you become unable to do anything and be unable to die is pure hell. And with the Vertexes just keep multiplying and with no end in sight, I understand Togo in her decision and I stand 100% behind her. I have no idea how it will turn out but I didn't think that this series would turn out to be this great. 9/10 |
| So if Nogi used the Mankai 20 times resulting in having 21 faeries and everyone gained an additional faery for using the Mankai, that means Togo who had 3 starting out must have.... !!!!! I think I may have figured out what's going on without having to spoil myself. But it does explain alot though. |
| Ohh so much despair The truth opened up Such an endless cycle of fighting the Vertexes Togo really wants to save her friends by unleashing hell upon them Was it suppose to end their lives quickly or have many people turn into heroes and fight down to the person so people can feel the despair of the Hero System and the girls' as well I'm in despair! Fighting to protect people while offering ourselves to the Gods have left me in despair!! |
 |
| Well Mimori wemt off the deep end |
 |
| I wonder of all possble (predictable) endings which one the writer and the director would pick. I'm OK with anything except "somehow miracle", which is very unlikely to expect considering the current situation. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Despair!!! Lots of it too! Togo's seen what's on the other side of the barrier, and it isn't pretty. Pretty much the first thing that entered my mind was, "Is that hell?" |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g2tqul-bYA OP was a spoiler. Yup. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
Holy shit |
 |
| Mother of Jesus, this is one shitty world. I cannot blame Togo for choosing this way out; pretty much every option other than "miraculous recovery asspull that hasn't even been foreshadowed like it at least was in Clannad" or "second season of YuYuYu" is utter frigging trash. I definitely see Yuuna and Mimori fighting, along with the rest likely joining in with Yuuna(though Fu might be a potential turn, she freaked the hell out over everyone and especially Itsuki). One potential counter-argument I see coming from the others is "Why destroy this world when it'll invalidate the sacrifices of every other Hero, including themselves", and I have a feeling that's definitely going to crop up to put Mimori on the defensive. Though since Itsuki can't speak, we have no idea how she'll turn... Ten bucks she joins Mimori in blowing this world to hell It certainly will be an exciting ride to the end, whether we join the Heroes in hell or heaven or somewhere in between. I give props to the show for stringing along all the people who expected just a plain old magical girl warrior show with slice of life, which in all honesty I would not have minded but the dark twist and plunge into total despair(though it pains me because I too want a happy ending...) made it far more interesting. |
| OH MY ASGJHAGDJASGHDAF WHY THIS SHOW IS SO UNDERRATED sigh.. that twist, that despair, that truth, that vertex, that Togo! this is one of anime that can really make me hype.. besto.. |
| oh wow, she had the best idea ever, let them go loose and face them with everyone. I don't see that happening on another anime. |
| This keeps getting more and more like Madoka. Even the cast screams of it: Togo is similar to Homura, Yuuna to Madoka, Karin to Kyouko, Sayaka to Fuu and Nami to Itsuki. I like it. I expect a bitter-sweet ending. Probably more bitter than anything though. |
| 21?! my god, feels like this only the start of their despair :( |
 |

| This anime is freaking amazing. God, I feel so bad for all the girls. This seriously is very underrated; gem of the season. |
 |
| This is getting more depressing. Is Takahiro the 2nd coming of Urobuchi? |

 |
| I still have this terrible feeling that this anime will screw up really badly in these last 2 episodes... Akame ga kill was like that. decent in the middle but shit at the end. And they are both written by Takahiro. Hopefully that won't happen. This anime is pretty different from Akame ga kill. Makes it slightly hard to believe they were written by the same person. |
