Okay, this was . Especially Yuri vs Natsume fight got a nice feeling to it.
Now probability of Yuri being a futa is like no-existent, well i'm rather glad as Noto Mamiko can't be a futa after all. Σ(゚Д゚)
I don't get how the fuck stabbing/cutting/whatever Yuri's arms and legs made her more beautiful though, weird dad is werid.

This show and Ano Hi Mita are by far the stand out products of 2011, and it's times like these where I truly respect anime as much as I do great literature and film.

And curious, if we think of Sanetoshi of a devil-like figure, would that actually make the Penguin-hat-entity an angel-like figure?

As well, I wonder how all this ties back with Kanba and Shouma's parents...

dont forget madoka and usagi drop

anyway, that esmeralda penguin, shes obsessed with one of the sibs' penguin? no2 i believe

Woah interesting episode.

Yuri's father is crazy.

The above is an understatement.

(Also - noticing the sling and then the bandage on Yuri - I'm not sure if he actually raped her - I actually think that he cut off her arm and leg and replaced them with ones he'd created. 'Cause of that scene where it shows this detached leg.)

Someone suggested earlier that Momoko had been at the annex. That's the one where all those books are - where Himari met Sanetoshi - isn't it? If so - if I remember correctly, Sanetoshi said something about there being someone like him - didn't that girl have pink hair too? I think hers was longer but - well, still pink - could that have been Momoka? (Like maybe she got a haircut?)

Where was the female rape? I was expecting something. Just kidding. But could Momoka really change fate or actually transfer fate. Or was it the diary. Or is it even possible. If it is then, I guess Yuri can really do something about the world.

Yes that was Tokyo Tower, not the Eiffel Tower, I forgot that the Tokyo Tower was modeled after it.

Wow. THAT WAS BRILLIANT. this show gets better and better as it goes on...

I'm suddenly wanting Yuri to bring Momoka back....

Momoka seems more and more amazing as the show goes on; no wonder so many people were touched by her.

The whole father rape/torture/mutilation was VERY hard to stomach, but it makes sense why Yuri is the way she is. He's a monster.BIG time.

Wow I love this show. Thought provoking at every turn.

Does anyone else find it weird that Kanba is switching sides like that? I mean, he was so strongly "I'm doing it all for Himari!" before...

Just hope they have a good explanation.

I hope Kanba doesn't go to Natsume's side. I really don't like them together. So of course, naturally, that's what will happen. :\

If they do team up, I hope it's strictly business and Kanba keeps his love for Himari. Come on Ikuhara, I know you love incest! Don't let me down.

For once, I agree. This is the very first time I have ever supported incest... So it totally figures that this is going to be one of the first times that it doesn't work out. *Sigh*

The father was quite messed up indeed (as expected of an artist, ahaha). I mean, treating your daughter like a block of marble... Nice reference to Michelangelo's words though.
Shoma to the rescue was hilarious. Honestly, the bottle scene... Haven't LOL that much while watching an anime for a while. I kept grinning at the whole phone talk, too.
It's cute that Sanetoshi gave Double-H these scarves.
Things are finally starting to get clear, now all left is to know Tabuki's role (maybe he wants the same thing as Yuri?), and the indentify of the guy who's holding Himari in the OP (also the Crown Prince, but maybe that's the same?).
The OP is great and certainly suggests a lot of things (like, Ringo burning = her probably making a sacrifice to change fate, Kanba running in a different direction = him probably taking another path, perhaps dissapearing like Momoka in the end/not being in Takakura family at least). I feel like Sanetoshi and PoC are staring at each other like they've taken a bet, and Sanetoshi is all "you know I'll win", while PoC only stares saying "we'll see". :D well, Sanetoshi was telling PoC/Momoka to find out if the fate exists or something, it sounded kind of like a bet. That's probably why do I get this feeling.
By the way, the title of the episode, "Savior of the world", reminds me of the line Sanetoshi said; about the whole world crying out to him, "save me". Or something like that.

So far the entire series revolved around Momoka. Let's see if that changes...

Nice OP also... so many foreshadowing of things to come :D

maybe he'll come to the conclusion "for himari, i have to work with natsume" xD (him alone or being tricked by sanetoshi :3)

Kinda preferred the old OP than the new.
Like the way that fairytales are always used as symbolism in this show.
I'm really curious what really happened between Yuri and Ringo. lol

So much questions running in my mind after this ep. -_-

Great episode, it showed us that Yuri is a girl with a bad background and not so evil like we thought.

Momoka looks like Ringo with pink hair pretty much. But I believe she has a connection to the Princess of Crystal. However their personalities are far too different but their eyes are quite similar.

Yuri's father was so insane. Yuri was already beautiful yet he was obsessed with perfection. I just felt sad for Yuri, she've been under a lot. However, she is obsessed with Momoka so far.

Anyone noticed that Sanetoshi has some black rabbits and the school rabbit who Momoka was talking about was white? Another symbolism...

Meanwhile I wonder who is Mario exactly.

So we finally know what Momoka's diary actually does.

This episode reminded me so much of shigofumi, Yuri's father is exactly like Mikawa Kirameki, they're both obsessed over beauty which is never a pretty thing.

And we've actually got to see Momoka's face :D

This new op isn't as good as the first one though :L

Yeah what kind of father is that, that's why Momoka knew she would die and she sacrified herself to be able to save her.
I don't know about the knew but she must have died on that hospital bed or something because she was clearly still alive and stable with Yuri at the end of the episode itself.
I think the reason Momoka died was because she transfered the fate of the people who were supposed to die in the train explosion/accident seeing as it was a bigger "transfer", there were greater consequences, i.e. death.

That's a big possibility. What makes me wonder is how her diary survived without a scratch if her body was never found, I assume she keeps her diary with her all the time. So maybe she did something to ensure the diary survived the bombing as well?

We know what the diary does, but not really how it's done. Does Momoka write the alternate fate in it and it comes true? If so, then there should be records about her saving Yuri, which means Ringo would've known Yuri's connection to Momoka. Unless maybe the entry disappears after it's written or something. Also, all the stuff in the diary about Momoka and Tabuki, was Momoka trying to change her fate so she ends up with Tabuki?

yes yes :)
because all things in diary are conected with her being with Tabuki!
so if she "cast a spell" on herself that would mean that she went to reality where she is with him, and wht remain is her recorded new fate.
I wait to the episode that will explain those wounds on his hand - I think that it may be conected.

And also this project M seems to be about regaining power to control destiny. But how? Ringo didn't seemd to be able to do so.

somehow they made me feel bad for Yuri the potential rapist who was going to rape Ringo, who before was stalking and going to rape Tabuki. where was Tabuki anyway? I thought he might have been with Shoma.

seriously though Shoma being in the next room is WAY TOO COINCIDENTAL. then he was utterly useless, so I guess it didn't matter.

Sanetoshi is pretty creepy, but holy fuck what the hell was with Yuri's father? that guy was a total nutjob.

now I get the impression Momoka is somehow alive. while multiple people fight over this magical diary. where is Kanba getting that money? is everyone involved in a love triangle? even the penguins?!
