Waittt, so Kurumi RIP. No, I don't think so. Considering she's like one of the strongest spirits in existence, that's fucking hard to believe. Oh ofc I'm wrong because she can using that eye of hers to manipulate time.

Also glad to seee Kotori in spirit form this episode. She looks nice.

I didn't want them to wrap out the third novel at this episode. I hope they haven't rushed a lot of parts. Especially Kurumi's fight with Mana. Watching it right now!

Kotoriiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!! She's here!!! She looks so nice in her Astral Dress. They did a great job adapting this arc from the novel compared to the previous ones. Now it's getting more interestng.
The only flaw I could feel was the fact that they got back to a rushing pace. Now, LN's volume 3 is done. 3 episodes left for volume 4.

Otherwise great episode so far. Some scenes could have a bit more impact while others felt slightly rushed. I wondered who directed this episode.

Here it come. Efreet Kotori make her apearance. And Kurumi dual wielding was epic. I just cannot get enought of her.

And hospital scene is next episode. I hope they don't rush it since it was one of my most favorite part in LN.

This ep probably had the best action scenes in the whole series. Kurumi was badass with her dual guns and her angel. And we finally see Kotori in her spirit form. This ep gets a 10/10.

Can't wait for the hospital scene next ep.

Good episode, sad that they change the scene where Shidou sat on Tohka lap as she hug him from behind, to a date.

Guess they skip the part where Shidou tried to bite off his tongue, also is it just me, or is one of the Ai-Mai-Mii trio says nothing but Disgusting?, I don't remember that in the LN haha, well there goes vol 3 and here comes vol 4, would've been nice though if volume 3 was the ending...

-So who is the strongest spirit?
-I just know Kotori looks crazy as hell right now. lol
-I dont care how much evil Kurumi does i still like her.
-Tohka is still the most adorable character in the show.

I bet Shidou is the only male spirit or something. I guess Kotori power is like a phoenix or something.

Kotori being a spirit has already be spoiled for me but I didn't expect it to be revealed so soon.

Kurumi is hax, her bullets can control time and summonings herself from different time is just unfair. She is insane but I can't help but like her.

This episode gave me a huge nosebleed.
Love the acttion and twistedness of the original kurumi.
So i guess based from kotori's dialouge, her powers are also sealed inside shido.? xD

I definitely wasn't expecting her to be a spirit, but now I'm liking her! She looks really pretty. And wow, Kurumi's time power is insane o_o it's cool, but she seems so OP. But I'm guessing Kotori is even stronger? Poor Mana being shot so many times, and the thing about her having only 10 years left to live D: Looks like there won't be much action next episode?

I know exactly what you mean. I've just started studying Japanese so hopefully in about a year I won't need subs anymore. Only time will tell.

Kurumi and her arc made this show so much better. Serious Kurumi is scary. It always seemed easy for Mana to kill her, but this time she got beaten pretty hard. I am sure spirit Kotori can defeat her, though. She looks strong. :o

Yeah Kotori was awesome I guess she is the reason Shidou couldn't die. Decent episode the beginning was a little slow. I hope Kurumi can rewind all the people she killed because killing people to add life force to herself is pretty bad. I don't think she deserves to be forgiven unless she can undo all the deaths she caused.

4/5
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

Almost always, which is why I try not to read before watching.

You have to cut the animation crew some slack, it isn't like they have unlimited funding so that they can do things as well as a novel, they have to tell a story in a set period of time. For those of us who haven't read the LN, the animation did a good job in piquing our (well at least my) interest, and I will now go out and get the LN to enjoy what you already know.

But speaking as a non-reader, pretty epic episode. It seems as if Kurumi may have been a previous version of Mana. They have both been given power that drains their life (though Mana doesn't know this). There is the possibility that Kurumi is the future of Mana (which would explain her fixation on Shidou). Probably not, but kudos for the writer for at least making that possible.

Kotori, what can one say. Absolutely perfect. Not only a great entrance, but the "Oh, I know so much more than you" explanation as well. Great keeping in character. Always a pleasure to see a writer who is so into the characters. This is actually a lot more rare than one would think.
