Aika just became my favorite character in this show.

Always been for me, she's the reason I watch and like Zetsuen no Tempest - because I want to know what happened to her and whether she's alive or not. Also she's just adorable, can she become 3D?

She's the element of mystery and surprise. There's just so many layers about her and her personality, and there's even more. I skimmed the raws and there was one scene that made me love her even more! But sadly I'd hate to spoil it. It's strange that a deceased character is a favorite of mine. ^^

Hakaze's crush on Yoshino is just way too over the top. It's just too much, gets way too much focus placed on it.

I agree in a way. In the manga I sort of cringe during those scenes and personally Hakaze's charm lessened for me. In the anime it was worse. I use to really like Hakaze as well, what a shame.

Hurray for development and not prolonging the whole Hakaze Yoshino thing! Kinda hoped for a bigger, more awesome reveal though :P
Although I still like this show, I really miss the atmosphere of the first half. It almost feels like a different show.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

Huh. It looks like the anime is either straying from the manga or it just does things in a slightly different order - and faster too. Either way, the romance annoyance ends here, because a good story knows that it can't continue forever. I don't think it got so bad as to ruin Hakaze's character though.

I can't bring myself to like Aika. She's complex, maybe, but all I see is an emotionless robot. Creepy, that's all. Though I do like the concept of a deceased character affecting pretty much everything and everybody in the story so strongly.

Still placing my bets on Jun = Exodus Mage.

The secrecy surrounding Yoshino's girlfriend has been dragged on way too much, in my opinion. Thankfully, they spilled the beans in this episode. I thought they'd keep delaying the supposedly 'big revelation' until the end.

She is my fav character from this series too, specially in the manga. *.*
She is definitely not our typical shonen heroine and that´s why so many people dislike her yet Im so glad she is not cliché and that she doesnt belong to the common archetype. Dead heroine present in constant flashbacks...you´ve never seen a dead chara holding so much impact before.

I dont think its right to call aika the heroine, i mean not only is she dead but she really only has about 15-20 min worth of screentime if you ignore the ep about their first kiss(the really boring one from earlier in the show)

like aika is a important character but she isnt the heroine, hakaze is cause shes more prominent in screen time and at this point more important, while aika's death sparked the chain of events that lead to the show the entire show does revolve around hakaze at this point

I disagree. Hakaze is 'A' heroine. But she's not the only one, Aika is as well. It's the same concept with our two favorite boys. Both Mahiro and Yoshino are our dual heroes. But if you want to think it rationally when you think of protagonists; Mahiro, Yoshino and Hakaze comes to mind. AND Aika. There's a reason why Aika is important, not because of the role if her death. Mahiro and Yoshino are driven by Aika herself, her death, words, Etc.

Hakaze has more role to play as being THE heroine, but she shares that spotlight w/ a deceased heroine. Anyways if Aika was alive, I'm 100% sure her role would be bigger than Hakaze's due to certain circumstances I can't spoil now.

TL;DR; Heroes: Mahiro & Yoshino. Heroines: Hakaze & Aika. With Hakaze being center stage.

Really though, the fact that Bones have a penchant for composing classical music-esque pieces really work on the fact that Hakaze is totally digging Yoshino right now. The scenes and the music just fits so well together.

The ever flowing melody embracing a blossoming love of a maiden.

Totes legit.

It doesnt matter that she is dead she has more impact in the story than Hakaze. Sure Hakaze has more screen time but then here we go again: Yoshino & Mahiro are both protagonists, the story is told by Yoshino´s POV and yet, the plot started with Mahiro desire for revenge and Yoshino only joining him later, while Hakaze´s bottle went to Mahiro first and not Yoshino, but then the story is told by Yoshino´s pov. If we talk about Aika & Hakaze is precisely the same: the story is told by Hakaze´s pov and yet it was Aika who started the plot and ALL decisions that Mahiro/Yoshino take are based on Aika not Hakaze.
Also, Hakaze might have more screen time but Aika has more covers in the manga chapters than Hakaze, she might not even appear in a chapter (not even being mentioned her name) and yet, there she is, always present in the chapter´s B&W covers, subtly hinting that she is not a supporting character and her flashbacks will return and will persist till the very end of the manga.

Anyway both Mahiro & Yoshino are the hero as much as Aika/Hakaze are the heroine, the only thing differing of them being the pov being told a little more in the perspective of one of them.

Ah, and now the show will never be the same - there is just so much tension building up, I feel like someone is going to blow soon - and we'll get to see weather this story ends like Hamlet or like The Tempest.

It diffidently feels as if the show is finally coming to a conclusion, and thus far the overall story and flow of the anime is very well done

I'm expecting a spectacular ending!

Can't wait to see what happens next week!

To me them saying they are going for the tempest ending makes me things are going to go horribly wrong. Like most shows that say "I wont let anyone die" or something along the lines of that like yoshino did about 9 eps ago, 9/10 they dont succeed.....at all. Just watch trigun to see how it turns out for them.

She acts absolutely nothing like that but whatever if that how you see it go ahead.

Aika acts more like this character anyway
http://myanimelist.net/character/1504/Reika_Mishima

So if you hate aika for the sole reason that shes a copy of Hitagi then you by that same logic should hate Hitagi due to her being a copy of Reika

Of course thats by your logic

Also anyone that sees a 2 dimensional character as a goddess needs to get a reality check

I find myself more and more pulled into this show, its fantastic. It actually got my heart pumping, and most things don't do that. One episode can switch between funny (Hakaze's thoughts, discussion of Yoshino's girlfriend, to tragic (flashbacks to Aika),to Shakespearean quotes, to pretty accurate romance. Plus, the cliffhanger is unbearable!

I MUST HAVE MORE!

Hakaze's back and forth monologue was pretty funny.

Holy shit, Aika was pretty scary describing how she would make shaved Yoshino bits.

Good god, they're having a meeting discussing who the girlfriend of a high schooler is...seriously? And the things they come up with, oh lawd.

Only Megumu got it, damn guys, you suck at this.

And their relationship is finally out to the open 17 episodes in. Took long enough. Now to see if Mahiro takes it in stride or goes apeshit on Yoshino.

I guess my favorite line would be the last one which was.
"I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quality of love, make up my sum." Why would you have to worry over my girlfriend, who died a year ago?

That part really got me but after the episode I was like "wtf I've been waiting since ep 1 for him to come out and say it"

They made Evangeline say that Yggdrasil is from Germanic mythology!!?!?!?!?!?!
Honestly, when spewing out historic facts in an anime, the writers (or directors) should make sure to get their facts right. Yggdrasil is from Nordic mythology, as in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, not Germany as they claim. And I don't care that the origins of Nordic (i.e. Scandinavian) languages are called Germanic, because that has nothing to do with our mythology.
Nordic mythology is Nordic mythology, not Germanic.

/end of rant

And yes, I'm from Scandinavia if you couldn't tell from my little outburst above haha. Denmark, to be specific.

Hanemura is actually probably more perceptive than Yoshino or Mahiro, in such a short time he was able to deduce not only that Mahiro loved his sister, but also that the most logical explanation regarding Yoshino's girl friend was Aika.

One of my favorite episodes of the second half. It's about time that everyone found out what we knew since episode one. Yoshino is really still in love with Aika, and now Hakaze knows that she's competing with a dead girl. With a perfect memory of her, she doesn't stand a chance. I wonder where their relationship will go from here.

Thank god the cat is out of the bag, maybe Hakaze will start acting normal again. It literally got to the point where I was skipping all of her scenes with Yoshino, they were really that garbage.
