| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Seeing Himea tentacle raped as follows,  was just so fun. For once it was fun to see her like that, especially since she was possessed and all the fun stuff done to Taito although I am sure he did not like that at all. Gekkou as follows,  as great for being shown young and the initial time that he grabbed the sword. Top action in this one. Top excitement for me in this one. In thee end we are left with a Haruka that is different and the split Haruka arc may come in. There is also the fact that Himea may never be herself anymore, just saying it. More later. |

| I'll just throw this out there, that I like Himea as a character. I know others don't really like her but she's grown on me (even though she talked about killing all humans in the preview this episode). Haruka becoming more relevant should be good imo. Now she won't lay on her bed worrying about the next bento she should make for Taito. Also, Taito was a real man in this episode going all out at the end there to get Himea back. |
| I should stop complaining about the differences already. They're clearly not going to make a faithful adaption anyway. Because said differences are like, everywhere. It'd be a bother stating all of them. Okay, time to look at it out of an original viewpoint instead. Durr, Gekkou goes to the red moon. I didn't know he was an astronaut. He is a genius though, so an astronaut might not be too far-fetched. ( ¬‿¬) Suddenly, tentacles. I did not see that one coming. And even more suddenly, Bahlskra enters the stage. And Taito goes Captain Obvious, stating that it isn't Himea. Oho, I didn't know Taito's wounds healed without expending a life. Because he's clearly died 7 times. And then he's smart enough to jump through the window out into the red rain that's already killed him a couple of times. Taito, your brains impress me. Well, unless those 15 minutes passed at a very appropriate time. And so, Haruka's yellow Alpha Stigma awakens. ( ¬‿¬) On another note, the episodes should be longer. Or there should be more of them. They're definitely cramming too much into each episode, inevitably rushing it. ...Fuck yeah, the ED's back <3 |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Some crazy shit going on this episode. Going to have to rewatch with subs to get a better understanding. Haruka looks to have a big part soon. |
 |
| We don't know much about Haruka past that she help Taito, but the Haruka we know is obiously in love with Taito. But when Taito remember Himea he don't care so much about her. We saw many Himea there so probably that's true Himea that are awaking right now, don't really know what is going on. She kind of destroying the one that are taking over her body. That are actually kind one that want to help her only, maybe that's the reason she changed a bit but I dunno lol. Maybe I should take a look into manga. The truet is that Himea really love him and want to do anything to make them together. |

| i've been wondering about the translations with this anime. How does "itsuka tenma no kuro usagi" translate into "a dark rabbit has seven lives"?-i can understand the dark rabbit part but "has seven lives" doesnt make sense to me. Also how does Tenma translate into "seraphim"? -i know that "Tenma" means demon and that the "tenma" in this story is a special existence, but why "seraphim" And like oosran i dont want to be wasting my time pointing out every single difference cuz im pretty sure that most of the people here know that Zexcs definitely fk'd this one up. Decent ep,though not good enough. It still feels Rushed. They way zexcs progressed it,it didnt have enough impact as the LN/ Manga did.Haruka looks like she either has a split personalty or is being possesed like Himea was. and finally, TENTACLES!? REALLY ZEXCS!? TENTACLES!? For anyone interested in a better story.I suggest you read either the LN or manga. |

| ...so what's happening in this anime? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ok it's official this anime really reminds me of Fate/Stay Night. Although the way they have transitioned through the story so far feels a little too rushed to me. |
 |
| Oh YES!! The ending!! [did help to decrease my heavy sigh after watching the episode] Taito's love for Himea must have saved him in the bloody rain near the end. And it took 15 minutes for ba'alskra or w/e to find him? Are you fucking kidding me -_-' So how is ba'alskra a dude? Weren't his boobs censored with his hair? lol. And 'I love you' saves the day huh. Power Puff Girls needs to know of this trick. |
 |
| I started losing my faith in the show when I saw those tentacles. I think the tentacles thing has been overused so much, but when they showed Haruka at the end, it got me interested more. |
 |
| Can someone tell me about Haruka past??? |
| This episode was OK, but not excellent. So Himea was possessed by a jealous guy with magic powers and Taito tried to save her. I am a bit annoyed by Taito's helplessness. Why did such a strong girl as Himea choose such a weak guy like Taito? She would even give up her immortality for this weakling. And I find the lovey-dovey relationship between Himea and Taito a bit annoying. |
Oosran said: Alpah Stigma! That was amazing in Legend of LEngendary HEroes. Got to ocntinue seeingf that in BD.And so, Haruka's yellow Alpha Stigma awakens. ( ¬‿¬) TMultimate said: And I would like to know how they fucked up? What are the major mistakes it did so far. Yes, I might be lazy to read the LN so I would like a brief of it.And like oosran i dont want to be wasting my time pointing out every single difference cuz im pretty sure that most of the people here know that Zexcs definitely fk'd this one up. |
| The plot thickens... With several more powerful characters showing up (and Haruko revealed to be much more than a childhood friend) this is becoming more interesting. I will definitely have to track down the LN in translation (or accelerate my language studies) to read the source material. It also looks like Himea made a considerable sacrifice to "curse" Taito with immortality. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This episode... Just this episode... Extremely retarded. Definetly not good. That's all I'm gonna say. |

Agreed, though I'd argue that the fact in that they used them at all did nothing for their credit. I mean, really... why would you get off on watching something like this? No personal insults intended, but anyone who would has quite the taste in amusement, I'll give them that, but let's try to have some higher standards than that, shall we? I mean, finding enjoyment in watching pain and suffering? It's a slippery slope, my friends, and it's not something to be dismissed just because it's an anime. SentiNel said: This episode... Just this episode... Extremely retarded. Definitely not good. That's all I'm gonna say. Curiously, what is it you think should be done to fix this? As we've been discussing for several weeks now, the anime has had quite a number of problems and they only seem to be growing as time goes on. I'd like to pose a question, to all of you. Over the years, we've seen a number of anime remade, anime such as "Full Metal Alchemist," "Shuffle!", "Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica", "Dragon Ball Z," etc. If there was a chance to see Itsu-Ten remade into the anime many of you believe it should be, would you support those efforts? |

Just like I'm supporting the prospects of a possible adaption of DaiDenYuuDen by being among the few in the world buying those BDs. I mean, sure, I'd pitch in with some coin if I could have a proper adaption of Itsuten. Assuming, of course, that I fully understood the question at hand. ( ¬‿¬) |

| If Tsukihime hasnt had a remake that people are clearly wanting, then a remake of this is impossible. Just sayin'. Lost my interest in the middle part. I'm kinda close to dropping this. Will hold on for a bit longer. The part with Haruka there might save this though I doubt it. |
 |
| Why do they talk so much D:, why in the living hell does he talk so much when the enemy can blow his brains before he can even speak, 1 more episode till i drop this clique anime. The only good thing i found about this anime so far was the ED song by Shikata Akiko. |

Oosran said: I think the efforts are good but like Oosran I am totally not for ecchi of this series. I would totally adore the BDs for their quality but since most of that is restricted with ecchi parts, that do not have any deeming value other than exciting our libido, seems the quality story wise is sucky. Well that's my IMO. BDs that are worth it like are like Akira. Now that is nice! ShinnKamiyra said: I guess I would. Probably.

Neither the light novel nor the manga have any such things in them, and that's part of the reason why I'm such a fan of them. I understand the need for a bit of fan service here and there, but you've got to do it within reason that adheres to some respectable standards. Bearing this in mind, it would be my position that any Itsu-Ten remake would have to be carried out by another anime producer, certainly not ZEXCS. To me, they've proved that they don't have what it takes to portray the story in the way it's meant to be told. Anyone disagree with that? |

| Hmmm ... I drop Penguindrum after the worst episode of anything I've seen in months, and I come to the forum to find everyone gushing over it. I sit down to watch another enjoyable episode of Black Rabbit, to wash the taste of Utena-shit out of my mouth, and find the forum up in arms because some tentacles showed up. Go fig. Really guys? It wasn't even that much of a tentacle thing, it was a shapeless mass made from some glowing blood-like substance. If I had to guess, Himea made a homunculus out of her own blood while she was trapped in her ethereal torture chamber, and the 'tentacles' were pseudopods. I liked this episode, quite a bit in fact. Yeah, I saw Taito deciding to turn around and save Himea by talking her down a mile away, but it was still pretty touching when we found out the circumstances behind Ba'al's obsession. He couldn't help but be obsessed, he was created solely for Himea's benefit. Small wonder she gets jealous so easily, if that's the kind of attention she's used to. So Haruka's possessed now ... or maybe has always been. The voices at the end (Seraphim?) were saying how they created her for a purpose, so either she's possessed by an angelic being or there's a lot more to Haruka than meets the eye. 4/5 |

Go fig. Hey, I'm enjoying the show. I haven't read the LN but I don't think it would change the fact that I like the anime version. I thought Macross II was the best Macross after only seeing that and plus. I saw the other ones and while I don't think it's the best I didn't shun the show. |
| Am I the only one who thought the episode was good? Maybe it's because I never read the manga. I thought the last part was funny "Make love to me Taito" Hmmm ... I drop Penguindrum after the worst episode of anything I've seen in months Seriously? Was it really that bad? I thought it the last episode was funny. |
 |
| I'm gonna have to rewatch this. I was literally so tired that I couldn't stay up whenever they would stay silent for like 10 seconds. >> |
prismheart said: I'll just throw this out there, that I like Himea as a character. I know others don't really like her but she's grown on me (even though she talked about killing all humans in the preview this episode). ^This. Well actually i liked her since the first episode because she kept calling "Taito" and you can really feel how much she loves him just from that and theres also the fact that i like female characters that loves the protagonist deeply. |
| The episode wasn't terrible, but it wasn't enjoyable either. Had a tough time watching Taito there. He probably could've (and should've) been killed a couple more times while he was blabbering. I wasn't too bothered by the tentacles, but reading that it wasn't in the source material left my baffled. Then why the hell add that in? Bad decision there. The part at the end with Haruka was interesting though. Makes me question her feelings for Taito a bit. |
 |
| this didn't make any sense. for someone so powerful Himea never really does anything. wtf was Bahlskra? where did Gekkou go? I just don't know... maybe Haruka isn't just the normal girl without a chance but I really wish this would pick up and make some sense. |

A number of things come to me when I think of fate/stay night. Rushed isn't one of them. Please don't make such a untrue comparison. I will admit that this pales compared to the light novel. At least the novel had me interested up until the last chapter of the first novel which ended in such a stereotypical fashion that it stopped me reading any further.It's not as if the novel was a masterpiece or anything(In fact I would class it as decent) but the anime adaptation is abysmal. |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| .......gekkou got like a 5 minutes screentime D: okay truthfully i have mixed feelings about this episode, I like that rena haruka is gonna play a bigger role and the censoring with the splattered blood thing instead of something ridiculous like the sunlight >_> i didnt like how the only thing bahlskra did was torture taito and murdered him essentially 9 times ish and then left by the power of love .__.; not to mention himea goes all lovey dovey at the end asking taito to hug him (Derp says do me but she said daite so ill just use hug LOL) i find the previews in this anime to be quite uninformative LOL Edit: woops misplaced the slash LOL |
