| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I gotta say, the girls are incredibly brave in this episode and show. They still have feelings of despair and I think even Yuuki has a bit of a hard time holding it in.. Great action though with the girls fighting together with all they've got. OST remains top notch. |
 |
| Yuna :( NOO KARIN :'( Both deaf and blind now.. Finally Yuna emotionally stable enough to fight...fended off the attack on Shinju-sama. Too intense.. not sure what else to say.. |
 |
| In this week's episode Karin lost just about everything to going Mankai several times, and Togo was willing to attack Itsuki and Fu, who had already tried to stop her, in her quest to destroy everything. In the end it'll come down to her vs. Yuna, but regardless of the outcome there can't be a happy ending right? Well the finale is next so we'll see...Another very bleak episode to be sure. |
| What an episode..... Karin's fight was incredible. |
 |
| I am not looking forward to Christmas this year... |
| It was really painful to watch Karin fight like that, sacrificing herself to help protect the things she believes in. The club's tenets and her feelings. I honestly feel like I am starting to dislike Tougou which would only increase if she gives up her cause. She being unable to understand how her friends would never give up on the world and are willing to go through great sacrifices to be together again. If Tougou is just filled with half=assed resolve then I would be really mad. The damage cannot be undone so why not just end everything then? Either way, I think I am disliking Tougou tbh... Cried a little again seeing Karin in that state, Yuna facing off against Tougou. I really do wonder what the outcome will be like... |
 |
| Great episode again, intense fighting and so emotional. |
 |
| Watching karin, who has not lost anything until this episode, use mankai so many times was just so freaking depressing. She lost her vision, hearing, use of her limbs… just depressing 10/10 |

| I would probably take the same route to despair Togo did. Look at how outmatched the "world" is.... Everything around them is a blistering hell scape filled with what can only be described as cosmic horrors hungry to devour the last bit of human life that has been preserved. The cause that she and her friends have been tasked with is extended suicide.... one that will leave them further crippled until they fall below a certain threshold and succumb to their enemies or stay preserved as helpless religious relics while others are selected to fall into the same cycle. There is no hope for the future, humanity is in the equivalent of a glass bottle rolling down an endless rocky hillside. One of the bounces is going to shatter the whole thing. It's insanity to try and fight back and attempting to end it all in one fell swoop by killing the Shinju-sama is, in my opinion, the right move. |
|
| Seems that Karin lost a lot in that battle, and i hope for her that her vision and hearing is something temporal. Not having any hearing and not being able to see sounds like a terrible nightmare. You can live with hearing or without vision but losing both that would be very hard. Togo is really angry and it will be very hard to calm her down the question is what will happen after all this is over. How will the girls be treated in particular how will Togo be treated. I doubt Taisha will be happy with the current events. |
| I feel really bad for Karin. She lost both hear sight and hearing and even the use of her limbs. This was really an emotional episode. |
 |
| And I thought episodes 5 and 9 were intense...this was even a few notches beyond those. Another terrific episode, though. Poor Karin! Still, it was one hell of a crowning moment of awesome for her, screaming the five tenets at each vertex as she destroyed them. And yet at the same time you're cheering her on, it's breaking your heart too because you know exactly what she's doing to herself. Interesting that the app denies shinju-power to Yuki based on her emotional state, and yet still works for Togo, who's ready to destroy everything. Obviously that means the app can't read the girls' actual thoughts, only the stability or fluctuation of their emotional state at the moment. Otherwise Togo would have had her phone yanked away before she ever had a chance to destroy the barrier. That means that emotionally her feelings must be very stable right now because she's convinced that she's doing the right thing and resolved to see it through. I hope Yuki is able to get through to her. |

| Takahiro is now officially a soulless monster douchebag scum. fucking faggot do this to best girl Karin. Fuck this shit, fuck everything. (still rate this ep 5/5 tho) |
| How the hell can nxt ep be called "Smile at you"??? How can there ever be smiling after all this depressing shit T^T My eyes were blurry during Karin's fight. WHY U DO THIS?!?! Not only 2 limbs but also vision and hearing?! D: Poor Karin T O T Her battle part was so BA! I was honestly rooting for Togo when she was guiding that huge ass vertex to destroy Shinju. That bastard needs to be erased! Bot ofc Yuuna to the rescue! She's the only hope man. But WTH can she do in this hopeless situation anyway?? And how the hell did this series get so good XD |
 |
| Watching Karin going all out Mankai was just brutal. damn that was depressing. Anyway, Great episode as always. not sure if i should be looking forward to the finale man, it just screams " ah hell no, i'm so fucking done". I really hope for finale to be well handled. |
| This episode was AMAZING! The action, feels, character development. It was all there. 10 out of 10. GREATNESS! |
derprume said: should we expect some happy ending such as the gods who want humans dead, to have a change of heart after seeing the girls fight? I honestly fear that they might pull something like this. Or Yuuna does some nakama power up, saves the day, and resets everything or something like that. |
| Kinda predictable that this would happen to Karin, doesn't make it any less intense or sad though. This show keeps proving itself week after week, too bad last week is the last one, one can only hope it keeps it up and delivers an amazing finale. |

game8910 said: I am not looking forward to Christmas this year... D: That was pretty intense. I knew Karin was going to eventually use her Mankai, but not that much. Yuuna finally broke down after all. Looking forward to next week cause I've no clue how they'll wrap it up. Don't hurt Yuuna ;-; |
    |
| Still waiting for the drama tag. Karin ;( |
 |
| Wow, this show keeps on getting more and more and more depressing every single week. It was really sad to see Karin sacrifice her sight, hearing and use of her limbs to fight and protect everyone. However, I am disappointed (but not at all surprised) that Yuna is going to stand against Togo. I don't like it at all, and find it hard to like Yuna as a character either, but it will at least be interesting to see how they fit in the personal conflict with the wider conflict. I have absolutely no idea how this will end, but I am dreading that there will be some kind of stupid, unjustified asspull in the last episode to get a happy ending (cos really, a happy ending should be impossible by this point). |
| I really hope they make an ass pull on the final episode and create a happy ending out of nowhere because this shit is way too depressing. I seriously didn't expected any of this when I started it. Just the slice of life would be enough :( Kariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin. Fuck man FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU |
 |
| Why does this show hates me? Will I have to cry on Christmas day also? There is no way this show can have an happy ending. KARIN why? Let the world be destroyed, don't sacrifice yourself for a cause that only makes you suffer. Karin, her is body is a prison now. Not able to see or hear. Unable to move. She can't even die to end her suffering :( No more mankais pls |

And then instead of complaining that this show is ripping off Madoka, people will complain that it's ripping off a certain Key Visual Arts/KyoAni series instead. That said, there hasn't been a single asspull in this entire series so far - everything has been set up pretty carefully (even the Mankai was mentioned by Karin in episode 3, two episodes before we saw it in action), so I'm trusting them not to get lazy on us now with the finish line in sight. The tone of the ending doesn't matter as much to me. What I want it to be is both a satisfying resolution, and an appropriate one to the story they've told, that doesn't betray the themes of the show. As long as they succeed with those two things, then I can live with whatever the tone of it is - happy, sad, bittersweet, or whatever. |

| Karin/10 It broke my heart, seein' her fightin' till endin' in that state... :( At least she went out with a Bang. Still cant believe that this is lower rated than even teh worst possible adaption of Grisaia, welp. True despair. Teh music is alone 10/10 as a Nier fan lol Not sure what to expect from "Smile at you", but im trustin' that i will like teh endin' :) Its gonna be an interestin' Christmas this year again for sure. |

I seriously didn't expected any of this when I started it. Just the slice of life would be enough :( Same here. I think this is the first time I actually want a "reset everything" kind of ending (even though I hate when shows do it). Nevertheless, I'll probably be satisfied with whatever ending we get. This episode confirmed AOTS for me. Also, OST is great. |
edl01 said: this was written by the guy who wrote Akame ga Kill...wait...seriously? Honestly I find it difficult to believe but...okay... Wait what :o Thats quite a suprise |
| Awesome episode 5/5 Sucks to be karin, blind and deaf. Like jesus she became Harriet Tubman in 3 minutes. Anyways im with Togo on this, Shinju sama hid from them the truth. Who knows? Maybe with shinju sama gone maybe there will be a better world with all the gods working together. EDIT: Just noticed some what could be a context clue. Remeber in one of the episodes that sayed the other gods wanted to "Cleanse" Shinju-Samas world?? Maybe their only trying to get rid of all the bad that Shinju makes happen to the Human world |

| I didn't even know it was made by the same person as Akame. Uh oh. |
| Oh my goodness, Karin really shined in this episode!! She stole the spotlight and also broke my heart. She's now blind and death and seems like she can use he legs and one of her arms too by the looks of things. ;~; It was great to see Fuu come back to her senses and fight alongside Itsuki. Yuuna came in just in time at the end. Great action and quite the emotional episode yet again~ Last episode next week, this has been so good. 5/5 |
 |
| GOD DAMN THIS EPISODE. Karin... I was super scared that they would take her sight away, and yet they had to take more. I don't know what to say. I'm desperate to see what they'll pull off in the end... hopefully it won't be BS, 'cause this is a really good development at the moment. |
| Holy fucking shit. So much blood-boiling and depressing at the same time. The last scene with Yuuna standing firmly... It's so sad that the next episode is the last. It's definitely gonna be one of my top anime only if they don't pull a BS ending. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| This episode just give me the impression that this anime going to be the best anime for this year and the most underrated anime of this last 3 years for me if they manage to put a very satisfying ending. |
 |
| Real people's tragedy: war, discrimination, addiction, poverty. Otaku's tragedy: Cute lolis got fucked by screenwriter. Could have been more interesting if the creator put more effort in the "drama", the first 6 episodes is just a waste of time since clearly the screenwriter was playing with the expectation of the audience, and we are likely to get a broken ending like some of the anime in this season. |

| SH*T!!!!!! Poor karin T_T God damn feels. Karin lost both her eyes and ears, wtf? this is just too cruel >.< Depend on nxt episode it's going to be 9/10 or 10/10. KARIN >.< GOD DAMMIT!!!! |

Yeah, fuck Shakespeare and every other fiction writers. Their "playing" was foreshadowing and a build-up. It was never a waste of time. |

DawnJ said: Yeah, fuck Shakespeare and every other fiction writers. Their "playing" was foreshadowing and a build-up. It was never a waste of time. Foreshadowing and build-up to an end that we have already seen and done better in other anime, like Itsuki's voice, Mimoris's disability and memory loss, Karin's change of heart even though the outcome is the same, and Mimori's great logic of "end all suffering by ending all". And they don't even bother to explain how this world functions, I thought they live in the world just like the one we live in, especially in one episode when they go out into space, but turns out episode 10 we get a few line describing the setting( not the world ), this reveal is too late to leave any emotional impact even on the characters, especially when they are supposed to be the heroines to protect this world if the audience don't know what kind of world and people they are protecting. The one thing I can kind of praise about this anime is it's handling of Fuu's emotional conflict, it's good drama, but just like the rest it builds up to nothing but a predictable outcome. |
| WHAT AN EPISODE!! 5/5 KARIN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Her battle is so epic but the side effect so sad.. once again, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FEELS and EPICNESS in one episode! |
| Itsuki's character development... This sisterly bond is really something. Karin's development too... Those 5 tenets, man the feels... She lost both her eyes and ears... The despair... I would want a happy ED but I don't see the signs of one. With Karin like that, no way it could have one. Expecting more feels-giving screams next episode. |
 |
| The despair never ends ;_; |
