poor mi-ko, that was unexpected and based on the preview karin survived in a miraculous way
i liked how kuniko hugged kunihito only to make sure the diagram was there XD but his first kiss got stolen by momoko....--_-- U

Good episode. I'm still a little disappointed that I didn't find out anything about the Digmas, but I guess they're still building up for that. Hopefully they'll reveal all of that in the next episode, because seeing as it's nearing the end it'd be about freaking time.

Too bad for Mi-ko, but I guess Mikuni finally understands what it's like to lose someone. Maybe she'll think twice the next time she wants to mutilate someone. Or maybe not...

Best part of the ep was Kunihito's reaction to Momoko's kiss. "You're going to have your way with me and then walk away???" xD

Sad episode at the end. I hope Kusanagi and Kuniko fall in love, it would be nice. Yuri and Tomoka were nicely done.
I LOL SO MUCH! Here and it must be the reaction Kusanagi. Repeated scene twice. Momoko is great!

Liked the explanation of the Ley lines, connection of Earth/Heavens and the spread of the Chi of the earth but it needs more explanations. The child sacrifices were disgusting!

so the old hag and the bearded geezer were responsible for the child sacrifices *unforgivable*

Kunikos character is some kind of plain, I thought that would change during this show but it doesn't every character is more interesting than her.

imo its good that sharktooth freak died ; )

She is mean to be she is from the very beginning and I don't really see how do you expect her to change into something else.

As for the episode, it was a really good lol for the first half and i like how they love to kill their characters off right at the end of episode.
And as wakka9ca mentioned in the last episode and Reyno, Karin must learn her lesson and so does Mikuni.

Mmmm I dunno if I'm right about this but this is just my understanding.
after the great earthquake, they just randomly saw these lines and wondered what it was. They assumed it had to have some connections to the heavens.

So by thinking that they would build a fortress in the middle of the patterns, that fortress would be the bridge between heaven and earth. that fortress would spread out chi(prosperity) all lover the world making japan the center of the earth.

But i think this was just a hypothesis because tarsian was somewhat regretting it in the end.
But then again this is just my understanding, I dont know if this is right or wrong, and I'm open for discussion xD

Btw, I know Karin is a total brat but damn I really like her xD

Yeah it was something like but the regret had to do with sacrifice which translates to me that prosperity = to the young being sacrificed which Tarsian and Nagiko both regretted for sure.

I am not sure about Ley lines at all but it would interesting to see what they say about them in future episodes.

True, they are starting to wrap up everything. And please, Gonzo, do not screw up this time....

Again, Karin is not dead, but I'm satisfied that she learned her lessons and tried to stop Medusa. Again, being dead is useless. To repent and help out is the true way. However, I still think Ryouko should die....

If Ryoko doesn't die, squealing like the human pig she is, I'm going to be real disappointed in this show.


On a more serious note: I really hope they don't screw this conclusion up. It's going good for now, though. I'm really interested in how they'll end this anime.

Well, the thing is that the way we see it the only one who is capable in doing so is Kuniko. But even at this point I can't really see she is willing to do so either, maybe one more person close to her has to die, I guess.

Nah, Takehiko might do it or maybe Sergei guy or perhaps even Kusanagi. Even maybe Sion. Many possibilities are there still.

Hi, I'm doing something new!
I will not make a resumé of what happened in the ep. : O
Generally good episode though : p
Also, Hiruko.. vaporized? xD
Still, not only is that a being worthy of praise, also considerably fast : o

I'm guessing Nagiko and the bald guy made them as tangible proof if they ever got lost in the system.

I think the real question is why/how Kunihito seems to have a much more normal life comparatively. I think there's something about him that has been overlooked. Maybe he doesn't know himself.

Sergei Tarsian. Him and Nagiko might have done the parents that made those three siblings but Mikuni I find has the least things in common if any.

Checking names, that's for people who actually care : D.. So let's go with Ryouko's uncle for now *thumbs up*

We really only know for sure that Kunihito has different parents than the other two (and only if they don't give us a "they were artificially created" explanation for the Digmas). The Moon and the Sun are Mikuni and Kuniko so those have to be linked more deeply than Kunihito who seems to be like a neutral piece. As a neutral piece, it might explain why he was given a simple life in Atlas. One might wrap it up as him being the back-up if something happened to the other two, perhaps.

Of course, it's all conjecture until they tell us exactly how they came up with the Digmas themselves. So far we only know how they conjured up Hiruko(sp?) and why Atlas was done.

Quite an interesting episode with some interesting progression, too bad none of that progression answered anything... just asked more questions. Also, to be such a serious episode it had a surprising amount of humor as well.

I think i saw some romance between Kunihito and Kuniko there. That's good.

Getting kissed by Momoko. OMG!! The nightmare.

Mi-Ko moment at the end was very sentimental. Mikuni felt a lot of pain with this one.
So that bitch Ryoko called the UN to bomb the building? Trying to kill our lolis. You evil woman.
Karin looks like she survived from the preview. That's good. She really is a skillful little girl. She even manage to get all three of those little knifes.

Momoko always ends up horrifying me when I least expect it. I suppose that unpredictability is an achievement in itself.

Also, maybe Karin needs to get hurled off one of the Atlas towers too.
