| Oh dear God I just could not express how much Mirai annoys me. |
 |
| this series somewhat boring somewhat good x_x cant decide |
     |
| In regards to some people's comments saying that they were surprised by people shoving a kid. Well I assume you've never been in a huge crowd before... I was actually surprised by the calmness of it. IMO people weren't panicked enough, considering it is a natural disaster threatening their lives. Also, I still have no problem with Mirai... she fits a few teens her age that I know to the tee. I think they've done wonderful character development and depth in this show so far... if some people miss it, maybe it is just a bit too subtle for them. |

| This anime is perfect, you can feel the desperation of the situation, of people, I never saw an anime that portray so well the reality. |

| 3rd boring episode in a row = dropped |
| Not a kid my ass, I mean, never does an extremely smart mouth help the situation but it is 10 times as useless in the situation that they are in. Let's see if Mirai will be able to become dependable enough to be able to look after herself. She might as well shape up or go jump off a collapsing bridge because she is acting like that is what she wants to do. Other than Mirai acting way beneath that of her kid brother, the episode carried emotions and intense moments in which you could feel the fear and panic. |
| To me it didn't really feel that much realistic, most of it was but somethings just weren't right. For example they know there are going to be aftershocks and the buildings may fall and it is more dangerous the longer you stay on the island but why is everybody so calm when walking, There are people who are pushing children but only walking, if they don't want to be slowed down why won't they run? Here's a Cookie !! |
| very well done. quite a slow pace, but eh what's the rush? |

Maybe I'm just not informed, or simply stupid. They said it in episode 1, they are using 1seg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1seg |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I guess i was wrong in the previous thread, only took one episode to get off the island, not 2. Nice episode but hard to believe everyone passed the woman wiht a stroller and her crying kid. |

| Pretty good episode overall, although I'm still not totally engaged in this series yet. I'll still keep watching, though. The really tense moments (e.g. on the boats) were very well down, however. I have to agree with some people when it comes to the asses who yelled at Mirai for stopping or going slower. I mean, yeah, it's a crisis and people don't act the way they normally would, but to yell at a kid who's all alone after a huge earthquake? Hell, I'd help the kid, not yell at her. As for people passing by that mother with the stroller and kid...I suppose you could argue diffusion of responsibility, but still, it's not exactly hard to stop for a minute to help a woman with her stroller >_> I don't know, but for me, I would like to think that I'd be more inclined to help people during times of crisis than normal. |
Static said: I was liek... WTF episode end? So good i was completly sucked in. |
 |
| I'm another who was shocked when the ending credits started -- the episode really flew by. Just *thinking* about the situations the characters are in makes me feel a bit panicky, so I don't think any of their reactions have been over the top. Mari's hint of fear (the shaking hand) was especially well done, I thought. And now we also know that her husband died ... interesting. I wonder what the circumstances were. I'm more or less enjoying this series so far. It's not at the top of my list, but it's pretty solid, and with the episodes flying by, I definitely want to know what will happen next. |

| I was like WHWAT ?!?!? The episode ended. It's so good!! Each episode just gets better and better. 25 minutes went by like that*snaps* And finally Mirai is being less of a brat. And yet again, the story with the actual facts. Are so well implemented. This show is by far the best one this summer. :D And the characters feel like there actual humans. Even though they are anime characters. xD oh and another thing AddictedToAnime said: DarK_BalteR said: that was exactly what i said wen i saw this although i tried not to laugh xD indeed. I laughed(a little bit), I mean why jump you baka, when you know you're not going to make it. Bakka!! (excalibur like). He still got rescued by the other boat. Baka... |

That's 1 human nature - panic~~ The other funny thing about it is that nobody helped him after his jump even when he was still clinging on to it. They just watched and left him to fall into the water >.<, there seemed to be plenty of room still on the boat too. lol. ( . )( . ) o.O .. |
| Good episode, Mari seems like she is scared but she's hiding it, and Mirai is still kind of reluctant to accept her help. |

| Why call him stupid for trying to jump on a boat? It's summer, it's not like he loses anything by getting himself wet. Of course, him failing made me laugh quite a lot; especially how people were like SHOCKED that he tried to jump on the boat, as if it's unbelievable, that was funny. Boring episode, I would have loved being on their boat at the end though, the waves seemed fun. |

| A couple things felt off about the episode, like why people seemed so calm or why people were so unfriendly at an extreme level, but otherwise I really liked the episode. Passed really quickly and like others said, I was surprised when the ED came on too. Oh and: cyruz said: [edit]: @pic: Another failure the anime community is. |

| Very nice episode.. brung me to tears a bit with all the emotions going around as everything was breaking down in front of their faces.. definitely one of the best animes this season Also.. I don't think It's a valid argument saying Mirai's a Jerk and whatnot.. we really don't know much about her past except the fact she doesn't really respect her parents, theres always a reason so I think we should stop being hasty about Mirai |
     |
| Awesome indeed. Another great episode. Man, this is by far my favorite anime this whole year. It keeps getting intense and intense. I love it. |
| First 3 epds were pretty good, mirai still annoying at times no doubt. I really like mari's optimism, dunno if I could be so calm in a time like that. |
| this is now the best show of the season |
Tekky99 said: this is now the best show of the season One can argue. I'm liking Bakemonogatari more. But this is still a great show. I HATE little bitch nose girl. She can go die. I just wanna jump into the anime and slap her a good hundred times, drop kick her off a building, get that chicks motorbike, run her over a couple of times then leave her bleeding in a building as it collapses on her. |
 |
| This ties Umineko for being right under Bakemonogatari for me. |
| Although predictable (every time they said to hold hands tight, it was obvious they'd get separated), it didn't change the fact that I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I blinked in shock when the ED came on. I have to wonder if most of the people who hate Mirai so much don't just see themselves in her. Teenagers are like that (as anyone who is no longer a teenager can attest to), especially teenage girls who don't get along with their parents and are forced to look after their brothers :P I'm sure by the end of the show, she's going to have grown up a lot. She's the perfect protagonist for this kind of show. The people's lack of courtesy didn't surprise me. Their lack of stealing things from the mall to eat, drink, fulfill their greed, etc. did though. x 3 |
| Now in my favorites. I think they're foreshadowing Yuuki's death. Him getting lost is going to get him killed eventually. |

My thoughts exactly. Also, I think some of the people that hate her so much are judging on a purely shallow level. There are a lot of bits in the show that hint towards deeper reasoning for her actions. |

Kineta said: The people's lack of courtesy didn't surprise me. Their lack of stealing things from the mall to eat, drink, fulfill their greed, etc. did though. Didn't surprise me a bit. People were stealing clothes and jewelry in Florida when Katrina was going to say hi. Here it's food/drinks, and since it'd probably go to waste/expire anyway, especially if the island sinks, you can barely consider it shocking compared to what can happen. Already explained my view on Mirai back in episode 1, and I won't bother with people still hating her for being a teenager and acting like her age even though I wasn't alone trying to explain to them why the fuck it's the case. |

| Time seems to fly by when I watch this series. I'm not a fan of the character designs, but the story is so engrossing and realistic that the episode ends too quickly for me. I'm really liking it so far. |
 |
| Geez throughout the whole episode I had tears in my eyes. What an emotional roller coaster. I like how a lot of us including me is feeling this "What?! It's over already?!" moment when the episode ends :) Really goes to show you if an anime is done right... P.S. Every time I vote on the poll, I get a bit confused for a few seconds because it's like...Am I allowed to love this episode even if it's about earthquake/aftershocks and people dying? Then I have to remind myself it's an anime XD |

| This episode was way too short. This anime is really good, and I especially love the interaction of Mari and Mirai. Troughout the episode I was just thinking that there needs to be a moment where Mari needs some comforting and I was wondering how Mirai then reacts... and then BAM the last scene when Mari held Mirais shaking hand and said "Thank you". That was just wonderful and showed that Mirai build up some trust into Mari. I love this show. |
| Mari: Mirai, please do this? Mirai: NO!!! Yuuki's sad *something happens as Mari said* Mirai does the thing Yuuki's happy. Mari: Mirai, please do this? Mirai: Eh, NO!!! Yuuki's sad *again something happens as Mari had said* Mirai realises that's she's dumb. Yuuki's happy. |
| I'm loving this....the realism, the emotions, the suspense.... Best of the Season! |
 |
Tenori said: I'm loving this....the realism, the emotions, the suspense.... Best of the Season! Agreed. When I first heard of this series I wasn't expecting too much but now, after the 2nd and 3rd episodes, I am hooked. It Is Excellent!! |
| Good god, that was quite intense. |

That's 1 human nature - panic~~ I never considered it a fail except that he missed. I'm actually surprised by the relative calmness of the population after such a major natural disaster. One would envision panic and anarchy just to get off the island and onto the boats. I'm also a bit shocked by the lack of those who can swim, or know how to swim, to get into the river and start paddling to the other side. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| ^Yep, although it can be dangerous if a bridge crumbles on you, but you just have to stay in the open to lessen the chances of it happening. About the woman trembling at the end of the episode, maybe it's simply because she's not a good swimmer? She knows that if that wave flipped the boat over, she wouldn't be able to do anything for the kids, and that freaked her out. She wouldn't show that when getting simply on a boat, since it's the best way to the other side, but facing that wave and barely surviving it (if it's the case), it ended up being a horrible experience for her. Or simply she thought she was about to die (waves aren't nice if they're that strong) and never see her brat again, heh. That'd be less interesting as the plot develops though, since not knowing how to swim can make things turn for the worst, and it'd be funner ): |
「Godspeed You! Black Emperor」 |
| I don't understand the hate on Mirai. To me she's just like any other child. I loved this episode, i got really worried about the people who fell in the river... |
