Enough about it being a recap episode. The preview alone made it worth it. We also got to see a bit more about how Mahiro felt about everything which was some cool insight.

Wait... what?! Half of the episode was recap and the other half made no sense! They just decide to brush off that epic scene from episode 12 and divulge in a totally new plot line with a bunch of weird things going on that make no sense?! What the heck? No! No no nonono! What happens exactly after Yoshino and Mahiro get hit by the tree? Is this a month in the future? How is Yoshino being the Mage of Exodus make sense? How the hell did Samon move into the city and get an apartment? I hope there are some explanations in the next episode.

Recap episode, though it was done well.
Looks like the world would become a better place if the tree of genesis stayed around.

Next episode will be awesome. Hakaze x Yoshino and some action too ^-^

Hanemura being the mage of exodus was not to surprising since he kicked that spear guys ass in episode 12 in a blink of an eye, it was either him or Aika.

and the new ending is alooooot better.

You got the other guy mix up, Hanemura was not the one who kick that spear guy ass.
It was Junichirou, also Natsumura is the one who you are reffering to "spear guy ass"

I have to say, I was rather disappointed to find all the recap content after the weeks of waiting. Everything it recapped was so basic and unnecessary, but the recap actually ended up being decent to me with it all weaving in with Mahiro's dream sequences. The new content in the latter half of the episode was good, and I especially liked the scene with Mahiro's reaction to Aika's death.

In preview in previous episode I heard Samon saying "Fuwa Mahiro, could you kill Takizawa Yoshino?" and all the weeks I was looking forward to know Mahiro's answer, and now... dafuq? TT^TT

I can understand disliking recap episodes generally, because they are often poor but I can't understand such varied dislike for this one.
Most of the episode continued to develop the characters. Sure, this episode did bring people up to brief on what had happened but its main objective was showing the emotions of both Mahiro and Yoshino through the dream sequences. It showed the stress of all the events and built upon the relationship of the two.

Oh well that's just my opinion. I must comment I'm really enjoying the Shakespearean styled plot, it's quite a refreshing change.

Unnecessary recap. Not like they really needed it either. This isn't a 50-episode season.

But in any case, I'm glad to see this series resume. Back to all the action and fun!

The whole episode was basically a recap, 1 min storyline and a 1 min spoiler of the next episode.

New ED is nice.

I was very trilled to see a continuation, since 12th episode ended at a very exciting point. Therefore I was a bit disappointed to see a recap BUT it did give a much deeper understanding of what's going on, and quite a glimpse of what's going on inside Mahiro's head.

The spoiler of the next episode left me cunning, and extremely excited about the next ep.

Looking impatiently forward the next episode.

I don't really agree with many people, I think this recap was done very well, and I mean, come on people, there's been a lot of things going on so far, recap is not such a bad thing.

On the other side, I should be honest and admit I did want them to move on, but not because I didn't like the recap, but because I really wanted to see what's going to happen next. This show is great so far. Looking forward to more.

I did like this semi recap, semi dream/reality. I'm happy it wasn't just a recap because even though I wouldn't mind it in this series generally, being the first epi after the break is kinda a no-no.

The preview though for the next epi, restored my total faith in this anime. It's gonna keep being entertaining!! <3 I love you Zetsuen<3

Well having a recap wasn't totally unexpected, and at least they did it in a way that incorporated his sleep instead of just randomly flashing old scenes. Next episode officially starts the new arc and while i didn't like it as much as the first for what the manga has released of it, to judge based on incomplete info wouldn't be wise either, so i'll look forward to the parts the parts that i did enjoy while eventually being surprised like everyone else as the anime will surely overtake the manga's translation pace very soon.

I didn't mind the recap at first since it explained everything quite well. But after a while I was up to date enough to skip it.

But I couldn't say I disliked the episode.

Damnnn, almost 3 weeks of wait and half the episode is recap, not much advancement into the series at all. Also, the mage of Exodus is quite sth., revealing that with no care at all. Hmm, wonder if Yoshino & Mahiro will fight, guess they will for 1 reason or another.

Hope the next episode will advance in an interesting way!

For the most part, this was a recap episode. Though they did introduce a new character; seems like he's the mage of Exodus. Yet, in the preview for the next episode they say that Yoshino is possibly the mage of Exodus; along with Hakaze asking Yoshino when he realized he had this "power" O: Well, this ep left me mind blown; but, hey, that's nothing new for this series right? ^^

Ahh, can't forget that preview! Hakaze has a crush on Yoshino! Though in some parts of the preview it looks like she's getting rejected by Yoshino >.<

New ending as well, this episode didn't play any OP so maybe a new one next ep?

Well, can't wait for the next episode!~

Also, it's official! This show is going to be 24 eps!^^

I liked the new Ending, its really sweet, not just the song but Aika & Yoshino during the seasons always together, so kawaii. Also, Hanemura was hilarious showing his power like that.


I agree, that new ending theme is amazing. Yoshino and Aika together, so beautiful. This show is getting more and more interesting. Cant wait for the next episode.

The recap was rather helpful. After a gap of two weeks, my memory was kinda hazy about what all I previously saw. The recap helped in recalling some of the details.

Samon instigating Mahiro to kill Yoshino? I should say, I saw this coming.

Looks like Mahiro is seeing and hearing things again. I definitely feel a little worried about the guy, especially given that ending to what Samon said.


Yeah, but what happened to the others like Natsumura (Spear Guy) & Hoshimura then?! Are they really dead?!

NOBODY told me about this about what happened during ep12 till it skips a month later & remain unexplained?!

My god, my head is killing me about how it that happened!!

Hakaze healed Yoshino and Samon healed Mahiro at the end of episode 12, they made Mahiro sleep for a month after that. Samon's reasons for waking him up will get explained next episode.

Chibi-Yoshino explained what happened after the fight. The Tree of Genesis appeared all over the world and now controls it while the Tree of Exodus is resting in Mt. Fuji like always. None of them have been fully awakened so the world hasn't ended but the Tree of Genesis has the advantage.
The key for what will happen to the world is Hakaze's decision of making the Tree of Genesis' full awakening or not or that the Mage of Exodus kills Hakaze and/or destroys the Tree of Beginnings.

The only new character is Hanemura, there's no new girl.

That's exactly what I want to know. Even they never told us what happened to the others like Natsumura Kusaribe & Hoshimura Junichiro then! Talk about CONFUSION!!
