Check animeultima.tv or animetake.com


And I agree with Vid, Yuki just ruins every fight scene. Everyone seems so useless I don't know...

It will probably have an open ending, I don't believe they can wrap everything in two episodes .-.

+ is luze showing up or not im soo looking forward too see him please show yourself soon luze san

Everyone is treating Yuki as if he has done so much for them and is the most precious thing in the world, while he only used his powers two or three times. All the other times, he was just being an annoyance, totally useless and had to be proteced and rescued. Why... just WHY are you treating him like a porcelain doll and worshipping him like some kind of godlike existence? Teach him how to fight, so that he can at least pocect himself, let alone others... >.>

ilikeyouevenmore said:

Remind me again why Yuki/God's Light is so important that he can't fight along with everyone else...? Oh wait, they never told us.
(Or did they, and I missed it?)

I think I'd just like to know this before the finale, otherwise I'm not sure I can fully appreciate it.

SoraKuro said:

Agreed. If Cadenza and Elegy deserve to be in the anime, so does Luze >_> But I doubt he will show up, which is a shame because he's such a hottie and much better than Luka. Yup, I don't like Luka, he's so "Oh I love you Yuki, forever and ever, but instead of confessing my feelings and at least try to make you love me too, I will just sit in my emo corner and cry while Toko tries to seduce me." .-.

I expected more from this episode >_<

kennikitty said:

What the rest of the characters were talking about and doing in general was totally weird, overly melodramatic and absurd - at least when they were not constantly shouting: YUKI!. Plus: somebody shoot Sodom please. His human form ist even more annoying than Yuki and this says a lot.

At least Sodom is not the only one who is this insanly stupid. Everyone turns around when Yuki appears. Meaing: they're in the middle of the fight and turn around to face the enemies (who tried to kill them a second ago) with their backs. If that's not stupid enough: the Duras don't even take their chance and kill them. Nope, they just stand there and do nothing.


And the worst part of all:
Luka tells two Zweilt to go and stop Yuki from killing himself by using his power. They're in the process of running over to him. Next szene: blue thunderbolts. Next Szene: Takashiro saying: "Is that Reiga?" (as if we needed him to ask this question, when we KNOW blue is Reigas color and we're going to see him in a second...) Next Szene: Yuki flowing in the air in front of Reiga... ok.
WHAT just happened? And just how slow do these people run? They weren't standing that far away from Yuki. Why is Yuki suddenly unconscious again? Was it his power? Was it Reiga? And while we're at it: what did Reiga do anyway? He's suddenly just there letting Yuki flow around. Nice.

It's cauz he's the healer and without a healer they can't fight.. they've said it about 3/4 times I guess?

If you people hate this anime/yuki/the plot so much why bother to post everything you've disliked about the episode/the whole show/yuki... -_- I mean isn't this a place where "fans" post thing they like and dislike? Yeah ofcourse you have the right to say you don't like Yuki's character or the plot or whatever but do u have to tell it at évery episode topic? I mean it's getting kinda.. annoying to hear the same thing again or to read things like; "just let him die than is that useless character out of the show" all the time.. but that's just me, just don't get mad cauz this is my opinion

SoraKuro said:
Warning: Rant ahead. If you love this anime too much and don't enjoy reading angry texts about Yuki, don't read any further.



Yuki must be the most annoying character I've ever seen. I enjoy shoujo mangas and animes and I've seen pretty bad main characters but Yuki just pisses me off so much because he makes all the other characters look useless and weak.
For example:

-> Tsukumo is all like "Everything is good because I can sense Yuki's presence so you don't need to worry about anything!" *Yuki gets himself inside a barrier* "Oops! Can't sense his presence anymore because the idiot got himself into a barrier! o/"

-> And wtf does Toko do anyway? I only saw her fighting twice or something. The only thing she does is talk with Luka about Yuki, while secretly being jealous because Yuki got such a nice man and the only man that likes her is her brother.

-> Shusei is such an emo, just because Yuki showed up and magically cured Hotsuma's childhood trauma (even though he had met him a few hours before), he was all like "He doesn't need me anymore because Yuki is the only one who can help him! I've been his friend since we were kids but he actually needs Yuki. I don't know why, but he needs Yuki. Yep, he needs Yuki, only Yuki can magically help him. ". And then he suddenly starting loving Yuki after Yuki and Hotsuma saved him from the bad demon girl. And now he and Hotsuma are finally BFF BFF BFF because of YUKI of course!

And...

Even if Yuki is the healer it doesn't mean he has to be so useless. I mean, all the Zweilts depend on him because he's the only one who can cure them, yet he risks his own life. If he dies to save one or two Zweilts, all the other Zweilts die and the Duras win. Can't he think about it a little more? I mean, you don't need to be so smart to get it.

Even the healers in MMORPG games are more useful than Yuki. I'm a healer myself in most MMORPGs and I prefer to sacrifice 1 or 2 teammates than sacrifice myself and the whole team and save no one.


And why does everyone like him? Sure, he can heal, but he doesn't even talk to them that much and they are all like "I love Yuki". Damn, he must have been a hella good friend in his past life or something.

Francie-Fugitive said:
There is a legitimate reason why some people are flaming Yuki, and it's not just because he's weak or too nice. That's not really the problem here. The issue I (and I'm sure many others) have with him is that he is the perfect example of a Mary-Sue. He has so many of the symptoms it's not even funny.

Yuki_Giou said:

Question; Why do you watch the anime since you dislike most of the characters and you seem disappointed with the story?
I do not get some people when they keep complaining about an anime, yet they still watch it. You could have easily drop it.
You keep saying, "Oh Yuki is a useless character, he sucks.", multiple times. Now, that's annoying.

Obviously Yuki did something in the past that the Zweilts value a lot. Maybe he (as a girl) saved the guardians back there-- it would make sense why they love him so much.

Maybe try to be a warrior or a mage next time on an MMORPG.

P.S; I checked your top favorite anime & ironically you have added Uraboku on there.

SoraKuro said:

Answer: Because Ono Daisuke, Takahiro Sakurai and Jun Fukuyama are in it. And it was cool at the beggining, since there are only 2 episodes left, may as well finish it.

And why must you assume I hate the plot? I like the plot and the characters, I just don't like Yuki and how he makes every other character look bad.

Question: If you hate rants so much, why did you read it? ._. I clearly put a Warning there.


Yeah, it must be something huge since they still love him even though he's a completly different person (even they said so at the beggining, "Yuki changed"). So if he had done something really bad in his past life, and then became a good person, they would still hate him?



P.S.: Because it is one of my favorites, why else should I put there? I don't hate it, I just hate Yuki.

Yuki_Giou said:
however, Luka is not realistic either. Men move on, yet he is still devoted and perhaps a little obsessed with Yuki. He says things such as, "My life belongs to Yuki." and whenever he see the female Yuki, he freezes. So, if Yuki carried a sword and kicked some ass like Luka does, would people complain less?

Yuki_Giou said:


I never watch an anime because of the voice actors.

-> Tsukumo is all like "Everything is good because I can sense Yuki's presence so you don't need to worry about anything!"

->And wtf does Toko do anyway? I only saw her fighting twice or something. The only thing she does is talk with Luka about Yuki, while secretly being jealous because Yuki got such a nice man and the only man that likes her is her brother.

-> Shusei is such an emo

I think you dislike more characters, besides Yuki. Well, you posted it on the thread, it is normal to rage some fans, even if there are warnings.

But yes, that's now the mystery, what happened in the past & that's what most people on here want to know. I think it will make sense by the end why he is valued so much.

P.S; I thought it was funny.

Rebella said:
The title is a giveaway. Luka loved Yuki to the point of turning against his own kind just to be with her/him and he still does. The story's main focus is the relationship between him and Yuki so why would he be over it? He keeps saying he wouldn't betray Yuki just to reasure him because he knows how much Yuki worries about everything. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that.

*wishes she'd seen Xenosaga so she could get the reference*

I get you. I totally agree that his life wasn't peachy, and I'm pretty sure that I would be absolutely devestated too if my best friend randomly threw some dark clothes on and said, "I'm evil now. Later, loser." But I, and this is personal opinion only, have seen this past done so many times over that I've developed a hard heart toward it. It just doesn't move me emotionally, therefore removing the only thing that might cause me to sympathize with him.

Intentional or not, he's still doing things that harm others and I hope he realizes this soon. I'll be really glad if he does-he'll certainly gain a few points in my book. And about Luka: I don't particularly like or dislike him. (Don't kill me, fans!) However, that's for totally different reasons. And those are: 1) I'm only attracted to women, so his magical bishie-powers do not work on me. xD And 2) His past/personality hasn't been delved into enough, so he feels kind of one-dimensonal. His devotion to Yuki is sweet and obviously very deep, but because I don't feel yet that it has a legitimate reason, I'm not convinced yet.
Oh, and yes, if he carried a sword & kicked-ass, people probably would like Yuki more. I don't think it would change my opinion, though.

kennikitty said:
The best part of the episode: Yuki notices he's been totally useless ever since he joined the Giou-clan. That was slow, Yuki. Really. And: he tries to commit suicide by using his power when it's sure it'll kill him. Great, why didn't they just let him do it? One source of annoyance gone.

What the rest of the characters were talking about and doing in general was totally weird, overly melodramatic and absurd - at least when they were not constantly shouting: YUKI!. Plus: somebody shoot Sodom please. His human form ist even more annoying than Yuki and this says a lot.

Everyone is treating Yuki as if he has done so much for them and is the most precious thing in the world, while he only used his powers two or three times. All the other times, he was just being an annoyance, totally useless and had to be proteced and rescued. Why... just WHY are you treating him like a porcelain doll and worshipping him like some kind of godlike existence? Teach him how to fight, so that he can at least pocect himself, let alone others... >.>
And Sodom... really? Luka said he is supposed to protect Yuki and all he does is wakling beside him and slightly grapping his sleeve. And the best part: he immedately removes his teeth when Yuki tells him: "I need to go." Sodom, you're as intelligent as a screw-wrench. Somebody, please shoot him.
At least Sodom is not the only one who is this insanly stupid. Everyone turns around when Yuki appears. Meaing: they're in the middle of the fight and turn around to face the enemies (who tried to kill them a second ago) with their backs. If that's not stupid enough: the Duras don't even take their chance and kill them. Nope, they just stand there and do nothing.

While we're talking about the fight: The fighting sequences were 80% made of fixed images slowly being moved from one part of the screen to another. Wow, that's so exiting.

And the worst part of all:
Luka tells two Zweilt to go and stop Yuki from killing himself by using his power. They're in the process of running over to him. Next szene: blue thunderbolts. Next Szene: Takashiro saying: "Is that Reiga?" (as if we needed him to ask this question, when we KNOW blue is Reigas color and we're going to see him in a second...) Next Szene: Yuki flowing in the air in front of Reiga... ok.
WHAT just happend? And just how slow do these people run? They weren't standing that far away from Yuki. Why is Yuki suddenly unconcious again? Was it his power? Was it Reiga? And while we're at it: what did Reiga do anyway? He's suddenly just there letting Yuki flow around. Nice.
This doesn't make sense. The connection between "fighting the Duras and stopping Yuki" and "Reiga kidnapping Yuki" is so badly done, it physically hurts.

Two more episodes to go and we're finally finished and it just keeps getting worse and worse. *facepalm*

Francie-Fugitive said:

Ah, thanks for the info. She and Yuki do seem like really similar characters, so I can imagine you've heard the same arguments plenty of times, then. Though Shion seems like a more extreme case, since she I've wanted to check the series out for a while, since I heard good things about it, so I might do so.

Mmm, drama. Maybe my standards are just set to high in this area, because I /love/ really really good drama. It's so awesome. And hearing you say reading that made me realize that pretty much everyone in Uraboku has had crappy pasts. Wow.

Wow, I need to catch up on the manga then. I'd love to find out more about their connection & Luka-maybe in that is my answer. Oho.

ROFLCOPTER, that is so true. "Damn you and your hunk-attracting powers, Yuki! I haet choo nao! D<"

Orulyon said:
Awesome ep, loved the fight scene of the zweilts with the generals,
and Luka was awesome in this ep, loved his sad face remembering female Yuki and his angry desperate face when Reiga took Yuki!
Also, Reiga was sexy as always;3

Rebella said:
Even if there was a Kanata san deep inside Reiga, I wouldn't give him a second chance because he burnd an entire village full of people. Luka my love, it hurts me how everytime you recall moments of you and Yuki together, Yuki mentions Kanata san. ;_; Switch to me instead... Yuki can go to hell for all I care...

Yuki_Giou said:


Exactly, so what's wrong with Yuki being unrealistic? I actually love the fact that Luka is so devoted to Yuki, but let's not forget it is an anime.

yamakasi said:

- Yuki steps in and dies saving someone (Reiga/Takashiro/Luka?) & some "feel-good" bit at the end where they're all "Yuki would want us to live our lives happily!" OR Reiga dies saving Yuki OR Luka dies saving Yuki (I hope not this one, but if it happens we might get a glimpse of female!Yuki)

Francie-Fugitive said:

*dont flame me, fans!lalalalalallala, song of peace*

well, he might do that if doesn't remember his past with Luka. Thats why it would be crucial for Yuki to remember, otherwise, Reiga has great chances to win Yuki´s heart. After all, since ep.1 that we see Yuki and Reiga suffering for each other. If at least Yuki remembered his past, i bet he wouldnt let go Luka. (WTH! why did female Yuki wanted to forget her life anyway?! i dont get it!she knew she would forget Luka too, so WTF. here´s another plot hole that we never got the chance to know the answer).
well, maybe next ep, Yuki finally convinces Reiga to return to his Kanata side;D or probably not. i bet Takashiro will arrive.

akromataof said:
Is the anime's fault or the manga had no ACTUAL plot??

Francie-Fugitive said:


Ah, dang it-my reply got killed. Oh well, gotta type it up again.

Hah, I bet if Yuki rode off into the sunset on Reiga's white steed, the Uraboku fanbase would have a mental breakdown, then realize what exactly Yuki leaving Luka means. "Nuuu! OMG, Yuki, you bastard-how you leave your past and future lover-oh wait. This means...he's single. Hee hee hee. *evil smirk*" I would just be frustrated. The UST between them is so obvious anybody could see it-they kind of have to get together.
Yay, another drama lover! I agree, Touko & bro seem the most innocent of the bunch, but we'll probably get proven wrong in future chapters.

Oh no, spoilers of doom that I love!

It was long, ha ha. No worries, though.

Wat. I didn't know people hated on Aerith-she was cute. Alas, fangirls will be fangirls...
