| Akihito's mom is so cutee. I hope she explain how she knew those things. So much happened in the last few seconds. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| this was an amazing episode! akkey's mom is hot and i loved the ending with the OP song insert, so good :D |
| Felt rushed. This show doesn't really create an atmosphere for me because it's squeezing too much stuff in one episode. |
| Every episode thus far is so <3 Akki's mother got introduced, which is nice and I like the way she acts, even for her age :) The ending was so amazing, Akihito saving Mirai, aiding her against Beyond the Boundary <3 |
 |
Zeally said: too many unexplained plot holes : felt really rushed Yeah, it's looking like last week is going to hold up as the episode that had the least overall problems of any episode in this show. We're back to 2/5 territory here again sadly after a more decent effort last time. I find it funny that this episode got the title Black World when it was last episode that felt more melancholic. |
| Story so far. Hope I got this all right. Nase Izumi contacts Kuriyama Mirai offering her a task of vanquishing great calamity bringer Beyond the Boundary. Mirai transfer to same class as Akihito (BtB host) and starts killing him. Due to being fused with Beyond the Boundary Akihito is immortal and as such Mirai attacks are harmless. First tactics failed. Second opportunity came when Hollow Shadow came to the city. Mirai wanted to beat him as a revenge for childhood friend death but failed. Akihito the immortal helped her by becoming host to the Hollow Shadow. They won and Akihito gone wild. He was later subdued with the help of Nase family and his teacher. Mirai once again failed to kill Beyond the Boundary weakened by Hollow Shadow. She got too attached to Akihito. Then the Calm came. Izumi made sure that Akihito would manifest into Beyond the Boundary. Izumi told Mirai that She can use her cursed blood and draw BtB from Akihito and thus save him. Mirai did just that. What Izumi didn't predict was that Beyond the Boundary would fuse with Mirai (or her blood) and seal both of them in pocket dimension. Mirai was able to battle BtB for 3 month without taking a break. How was Mirai able to fight for so long? Cursed blood, sad memories, BtB taking all super natural power from humans or maybe Mirai wish for Akihito to have normal life. Since they are one then they are immortal and can battle for all eternity. With tiny shard snapped from Beyond the Boundary Akihito goes to save Mirai and after few more action packed scenes they finally reunite. Then the freaking episode ends :( |
| The fight scenes and the shots of the boundary were amazing. A son hitting his mother, nobody has a problem with that? no? okay, her knight gag was hilarious. |
 |
| This episode was so awesome and action packed for a second I thought this was the last episode of the series and I got sad but it is not WOOT!' Great episode!!! |
 |
| Series really bumped up its storytelling but I feel the pacing is way too fast now. Packed too much explanation into one episode. The scene with Akihito running to Mirai was good with the OP song which I love. I know your mom is annoying but you don't need to knock her around, I know it was supposed to be funny but it really bothered me for some reason. |

| Now that was friggin awesome, I love this show |
| gosh that ending!! That "serves you right" word! This episode is really 15/10 to me! (except when Yayoi appears..) |

| thats one heck of an episode and lol at the mother she is hot though and last episode next week! i hope its a happy ending one |
| Akihito's mum is so random and funny. Loved how he caught Kuriyama as she was falling. The final battle is beginning. |

| Is it just me or have a lot of people given up on this show way too early? I remember when this series was within it's first 6 or 7 episodes and people were calling it a massive disappointment from Kyoto Ani. However, it seems like they really didn't give this series a chance to come to fruition. The last 3 or 4 episodes have been simply outstanding. I'd even put this up there with Hyouka in regards to how great its been. |
| I think I have a serious problem. Based on the comments, it seems like I'm the only one who's not enjoying this as much as I should. I know I was supposed to feel something when Akihito read Mirai's message but...I didn't feel anything. If any, all I saw was a label "this is the scene where we want you to feel sad" but that didn't resonate with me. Also, that part with Aki's mom...it felt forced. She was hilariously random but it just felt out of place? Like okay shit's going down, youmus are floating and getting sucked into that sphere. The group races to the club room (why the club room btw?!) when they saw that flier stating Mirai's alive. They open the door. Then the gag happens. It broke, no, annihilated the ongoing flow as well as the "shit just got real" atmosphere. When a writer uses the "for some unknown reason, X happened" card, it usually means "we're not sure which direction we want to take this" but that scene with Aki asking his mom to tell him about herself someday...well that kind of made me less worried. Also a hook for another season obviously. And a car battery powering up that uh...thing. I need to get in touch with that dude and ask him where he gets his car batteries because mine gets easily discharged. So tell me, am I just nitpicking or is there really a problem with the storytelling? The animation for the action scenes was amazing though I'll give them that. |

| Although the ending was a lil rushed (i wanted more of dem feels) but IT WAS BEEEEAUTIFULLLL ^~^ And the long wait for the next ep begins |
| damn I love this kind of anime... where they will show you boring stuff for the first 9 episodes and from episode 10 up to the last everything will be explained and nothing but badass and epic moments will happen... epic scene that matches with the epic ED... dayuuuuuum! |
 |
| Akkey's mom has got it goin' on She's all I want and I've waited for so long Mirai, can't you see you're just not the girl for me I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Akkey's mom |

Pacing problems are one of the biggest turnoffs for people. But of course once they got back to the actual novels the show found its grove and improved dramatically. Have to agree with you there, they spent a little too much time with the filler(especially the episode with the fruit youmu) when they could have been expanding on the story more, however the last few episodes have been great. Also a lot of people should consider finishing the series they have dropped after they end since they could turn out completely different then you expect them to be. I mean I wasn't very fond of Shin Sekai no Yori, but I came back to it and now its one of my top 10 ^^. |
| His mom :P Next is last ep! Mal says there is 13 :/ |
Baku219 said: Series really bumped up its storytelling but I feel the pacing is way too fast now. Packed too much explanation into one episode. This. If the series didn't use up so much time on filler and instead focused on plot, then this would have easily become one of the best anime of the year. Now I feel cheated as I watch these later episodes not being able to forget the disappointment in the beginning. |
| “Suppose, gentlemen, that man is not stupid.” |
| This was a pretty great episode! No wonder this is one of the series I look forward to the most every week! |
| owh MILF Aki's mom was great XD |
 |
| I like the last two episodes but this episode felt too rushed man.Now only if they could've done more when they were airing fillers. So dumb. I was really hoping Mirai dies. It would leave more impact in the series. I dno't hate her but I think it would've been a great ending. Text scene didn't leave an impact at all. didn't make me cry or didn't leave an epic feeling like Chuunibyou. Sakura and Ai best girls |
 |
| This had gone from an easy 6.5 to a solid 9 for me in just two episodes. |

| Amazingly beautiful animation. Like the best of any tv anime. Good episode, a bit more complicated then I'd have liked. |
 |
| Mirai is still alive. My goodness. I really love how the Nase siblings stood up to Izumi this time. |

| There is a 2nd novel. Does anyone know if the KnK story arc is in that? Someone asked "Why the clubroom?" Why? Because that is where the shard of KnK was to re-youmoufy Aki. I must be in the minority since I didn't feel that this was rushed at all. If anything, I thought they dragged out the story a bit in the last two episodes. I really have enjoyed the series and look forward to the "not unpleasant" ending for Aki and Mirai. (Call her Mirai for once, Aki! You don't have to be so formal with the girl you love!) |

| In the Kyoukai no Kanata, the dead Akihito was just a puppet so Akihito will be able get up to the KnK to save Mirai. Black World is about the Kyoukai no Kanata, Akihito's mom tell to akihito how to save Mirai, the question is how Akkey's mom know what to do to save Mirai. Akihito was sleeping for three months????? So Mirai has been facing off the KnK for three months?? that was too long. I didn't notice Hiroomi was not wearing his scarf until Akkey said it. This is the first time I saw Sakura worrying for Mirai. I think she hate Akihito by sacrificing Mirai to save him. I almost cried when Akihito read the message of Mirai while showing Mirai fighting the KnK. "I don't feel unpleasant". I laughed when Akihito is running then Sakura kicked him. What the heck is happening, youmu's are pulling up in the KnK, even Ai-chan and Ayaka-san is pulling up. Lol, Akkey knew that it's his mother inside the armor then he went uppercutting his mom. She's a hot mom :3 and even when bad times she can still joke around. Akihito entering the KnK to save Mirai was pretty intense and in some way of awesomeness, hearing the OP twice was great and it inserted also in the great part of ending. Mirai stabbed herself, noo??? Mirai was fine thankgoodness, Akihito almost cried and still kidding at the end. Can't wait next week, the Gray World, it's like they helped each other to escape the Kyoukai no Kanata. They really made their best make the last episodes, KyoAni really made a great job, even though I haven't watched the last episode I can say their doing their best :) Last Episode next week. Best Anime of the Season!! :))) |
zensunni said: There is a 2nd novel. Does anyone know if the KnK story arc is in that? 2nd novel? so that means there's a 2nd season of anime?? I hope so. Don't know the arc, hope it's promising. |
| His mother sure is a unique person with that behaviour of her not to mention all the outfits that she was wearing, which makes me wonder about his father. The episode itself was mostly overly dramatic in my opinion especially Akihito's behaviour could have been done better, not to mention some of the other characters. |
| Way to bring sexy back. |
| Wow that episode was so awesome! I was getting all teary eyed when he was reading Mirai's letter. OMG I got all kinds of feels the exact moment they mixed in the OP song and those last couple of scenes. This is ending really well and I can't wait till next week. |
outkastfox said: Awesome episode. Had me feeling when he was reading her message. The ending scene was to awesome. The song op with it went perfect. Can't wait till next Wednesday OMG yes ^ |
Ryoweb said: Only 2 more episodes to go! I think Kyoukai no Kanata is up there for surprise of the fall season. By the way, anyone else thinks that the ED in this is flawless? That song is just so awesome! Can't wait for next week! that ed was beyond flawless! |
| oh god that text :'( I really wish they had expanded this story line in the earlier episodes. I doubt Akkey's mother is going to tell him about himself in the next episode, so I'm hoping for a second season now. |
 |
| Wow nice catch~ next week last episode |
