 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Poor Cal...the lolithatturnedbabethateveryonehatedbutthenlikedjustcuzofthebuttscene It wasn't the show that sucked, it was the critics *nod* |
| Well then, I'll just be passing by slipping a short comment here, and then I'll watch the next episode. So, Cal knows how to make a flashy entrance, huh? Hmm somehow I expected Lacie (the "clock-song" from Pandora Hearts) to start playing when she opened the watch xD Well.. Why did they decide to make her unannoying at the moment she dies? Anyhow, I don't see why Reiji got so surprised when she at last died O.o And then the most awesome jerk of all time appears, man this will end great, I hope, in another 20min I'll know : D |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Reiji has finally done the right thing... ( ; _ ; ) |
 |
| One episode left. I don't know what to expect. Cal died, very emotional scene... but still I prefered her when she was little (I can't explain myself yet how could she grow like that in only two years xD) And I really liked the scene of Elen fighting all those Godou guys! I love her <3 Looking forward to the next episode to see the conclusion! |
 |
| nice episode! cal was wonderful and she was a great character!i wonder what will hapen next with the army of phantoms! |
| Why did Cal have to die? Oh great, the boring ending... |
| Sore wa himitsu desu. |
| Damn Cal, why didn't you just live happily and peacefuly with Reiji and Elen. WHY DID YOU GUYS HAVE TO DUEL GODDAMNIT?! Now, next episode will be about those robots Scythe made. I wonder who's going to die. Looking forward to the finale. |

I just keep in mind that I should not take it too much to the realism. xelloss said: Why did Cal have to die? Oh great, the boring ending... I didn't want her to die either. I was hoping (even though I knew it) that somebody would tell her that Keiji wouldn't abandon her if he knew she was alive and stop the fighting. x.x |
| Great episode, but Cal's Death was saddening and it happened too fast. It would've been better if Zwei had died instead of her. |
| Man, i hated "Drei" but i loved Cal. Im glad she became old Cal again in Reiji´s arms. All that she wanted was to be with him. I dont understand why there´s so many people blaming her for her behaviour. People have different personalities, so it can happen that everyone reacts in different ways on the same situations. Cal could not react as Ellen, and besides that, Scythe master (fucking bastard!!!!) brainwashed Cal...and Ellen...and Reiji....and all the fucking Inferno organization. |

| Did she get shot in the pelvis? Who dies from getting shot in the pelvis? I say she deserves to die for dying from that. The other phantoms got shot in multiple, and much more useful places and lived even after falling into the ocean for who knows how long. Anyways her laugh annoyed me, and even when she was little she bugged with all that taking shit apart. I'd cry if she came to my house and broke all my things... and made my burgers into soup But honestly, I was sad she died, I like the crazy ones... I had hoped Reiji would die instead (I might have a "dead protagonist" fetish as well). |

Xizel said: I didn't like the episode. The past few episodes were about Cal being stupid and hated. Now that she just dies with those sad feelings, it was pointless in a way. Next episode will be worth the action, considering how Reiji was at the end. P.S. Reiji it's not nice to shoot girls. I didn't like at all what they did with Cal... She died thinking Reiji had avandoned her, that's pretty sad... it sucks. |
| yeah, let's just kill Cal and don't even think about talking about what happened two years ago...-.- |
 |
| The only thing i didn't like about this was that not once did he try and explain what actually happened. I mean she was too far gone and she would have just said he was making excuses but you'd at least try. Apart from that i loved this episode. Bring on the boss fight. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| She would have refuse his excuses it sayin that he promise to come back... But i have to agree that all this problems between all the charactes could have been avoided with a talk... just sit down, no weapons and talk. I feel sad now because I was rooting for cal to somehow survive. So far (imo) elen is to broken as a person, sometime she give me the impression she treats Reijin as a Master rather than a friend. Maybe that the only way she know how to interact with him. Reiji could have been happier with Cal... >.> |
| huh? |
| I knew she didn't hate him, far from it, she was just broken and that stupid Scythe manipulated her in her weak moment... yet another reason i want this bastard to die, I really feel bad for Cal, but i guess it the end it was inevitable, and i think she knew it... for a long time that she would die which makes it all the much sadder. As much as i hope for one, i HIGHLY doubt this show has a nice ending, i see yet another bitter bitter bitter sweet ending coming... and this is one time i wouldn't mind being wrong but at the same time i know that the ending i would want wouldn't be fitting for the tone that the story has set for itself, well anyway I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. |

| Why Reiji? Why? You could have talked with Cal and convinced her you left her because you thought she died. But no, instead of that you killed her. Cal R.I.P, even after you killed Lizzy. |
| I wish he would have just told her to the truth about the incident. Weather or not she believes him or not, it wouldn't matter because one of them is going to be dead by the end of that sequence regardless. |
 |
| It is a sad episode. I wonder if Cal would shoot cuz she loves Reiji. |
 |
| This series would have gotten a 9/10 from me but since called died, immediately goes to 8/10 |
 |
| A great episode. I can't wait to see what Scythe master's minions are going to do in the next episode. |
 |
| Wow, Cal was my favorite character and they just wrote her off the show like that... Was expecting a happy ending for her, at least. Nevertheless, this episode was wonderful. However, I really didn't understand the vision Reiji had when him and Cal were still in LA and in a car. Explanations would be nice XD |

What can you do, they were animating Elen's ending from the Visual Novel instead of Mio's or Cal's (Cal only dies in Elen's ending) otakuthon said: However, I really didn't understand the vision Reiji had when him and Cal were still in LA and in a car. Explanations would be nice XD He or/and Cal were imagining how it could have been if Reiji returned to the apartment and found Cal (in the game, should Reiji find Cal after the apartment is destroyed, you get the ending where he and Cal start traveling the USA, running from Inferno and their Phantom Ein... tough it might also be an Easter Egg for Cal's True End). You can see other endings from the game here |

| noooooo Cal. I think I cried. I really wish they could have solved that without her dying. man Reji has been through a lot at this point. all that's left is for Scythe to FINALLY DIE. come on Reji become the badass one last time. I guess they'll leave McGuire and the rest of Phantom behind. Surprised he never played a bigger role . |
 |
| Cal... I cried when she died. This episode was pretty much the finale for me. But seriously, couldn't Ryuji have just shot her hand or something? He didn't have to kill her. |
 |
| No happy ending for Cal... This episode made me really sad... :'( Gotta wipe these tears off from my eyes... |
Linkark07 said: Why Reiji? Why? You could have talked with Cal and convinced her you left her because you thought she died. But no, instead of that you killed her. Cal R.I.P, even after you killed Lizzy. Yeah, Cal's behaviour was totally realistic ><'' Glad she died at last. She transformed into a brainless oversized boobed girl in two years. Guess she got some braincells burned out during her growth. She was a nice character as a kid, but as soon as she got oversized boobs she became a stupid girl. With the stupidest reason to kill Reiji I've ever imagined. What a waste. Hope Scythe gets tortured in next episode, he deserves it. Still a nice episode. 5/5 |
  |
| I cried! For Cal! Thinking that I dislike her... but in the end I did cry for her... I can see her "old self" in her last moment... I just dislike her grown up self, I didn't dislike her teen self, so when I see her old self before she died, I shed a tear.... *I never intend to cry when she died...I was even hope her death, but her death is just so sad.... T^T* |

| In general I didn't like the Cal character since I thought her entry changed the tone of the show and her subsequent development was too forced. Having said that, her death was pretty moving. I don't think she really wanted to kill Reiji. I don't understand why Reiji didn't explain to her what had happened after the explosion. At least let her die knowing you cared for her. I just want Scythemaster to die now. |

| This episode was the first actual good episode out of this last arc. I didn't like the part where Ein is able to dodge all the bullets which are shot at her. This also happened a few episodes back with Cal. It's dumb when this show is kind of realistic and all of a sudden they become some kind of bullet dodging god. Maybe the henchmen just were in awe with the girls' beauty or some weird shit, that's the only logical explanation. Cal's death was kind of sad, I definitely felt pity for her in this episode despite her acting so idiotic. Reiji and Cal are such idiots; they didn't even tell eachother how they felt before the standoff, couldn't they have told each other how much they regret the decisions they made and said to each other how much they love(d) one another. They still didn't tell each other even when Cal was in Reiji's arms, how disappointing. Reiji will go batshit insane next episode I'm sure about it. |
| Cal Devens. I don't think I can really rate or discuss this episode. That was... too sad (the overall scene was well done but... I would've preferred a different conclusion). The fact that she died without knowing the truth left a bad taste in my mouth too (why Reiji?). I think I'm just going to play the VN to cure this "void". Cal had so many bad experiences in her life and now even...!!! AH!!!!! Ah... I guess there's only 1 episode left, let me just watch Scythe die, it might do something for me. |

| Cal died a pretty pathetic death D=. I think it would be awesome if Cal actually missed on purpose but was better. One episode left. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Why did Cal hate Reiji so much and why she forgave him everything at the end? |
| There were some lovely discussions in the previous pages, and I read all of them :D I do feel a little bad for Cal dying like that when they could've had a nice talk like what happened between Reiji and Eren and their showdown, but I think Cal's too self-destructive for that. Yes Reiji didn't have to shoot her where she has a high chance of dying, but Cal brought it on herself, telling him to play her game. At this point, I don't believe that Cal would listen to Reiji's explanations anyways. Plus if she didn't die, well, she would be living a pretty harsh life of having to constantly run away from Inferno. After all, she did leave Inferno. Lastly, I agree with some of the people here that there were definitely some contradictions regarding Cal, about how she was introduced as a smart and capable of rationalizing person, and then becoming a hate-filled, irrational killer. SM's manipulations should not, in theory, have made her the way she became. If she was smart and rational, then she wouldn't have listened to a total stranger, not to mention, SM is pretty suspicious looking. Why would he even show up at Reiji's bombed apartment like that so randomly unless he had an ulterior motive? How is that NOT suspicious at all? I think I felt worse for Reiji when he cried at the end. I feel like no one gives him enough credit for the shit he suffered through (even though yes, he did manipulate and lie to people when he was under Claudia and part of Inferno). Still, he has a lot of guilt and regret piled up inside of him, and then Cal coming back made him feel even worse. He no longer had the will to justify his actions because he believes he is not a good person, similar to when he gave up and allowed Eren to kill him when they fought against each other. Still, I think he chooses to live because of the promise he had with Eren, and he knows that if he dies, Eren will lose her raison d'etre. |
| Not gonna lie, I shed a tear over Cal's death. It's not only because she died, but because it could of ended if they had just seen each other after the explosion. Even if Reiji explained the situation to Cal, I doubt she would believe it. It's when she was dying she realized that she didn't hate Reiji as much as she thought and that she wished she could of lived happily with him like she always wanted. It's sad that some people don't realize their true feelings until they're dying or about to die and Cal was one of those people. :( I was hoping for her to stay alive, but when I saw her having a "conversation" with people she killed, I knew she was gonna die. |

Reiji should have told her first, at least. :( |
 |
| So as I thought, there was no way for Cal to survive. The car scene was really beautiful. What would have happened if he didn't miss her at the appartment? Maybe they would have been happy the three of them... Now it's time for the final showdown. There ain't happy ending for assassin. |

| how fucked up can this anime be... this used to be great and now everything is just ridiculous... Cal died without even knowing the truth... and Reiji killed her without saying anything about what really happened. and what's really annoying?? is that how Cal hated Reiji for just leaving her... yeah I will hunt Reiji to the ends of the universe just because he didn't fulfill his promise..if I have the same logic as her I might've killed countless people already. |
 |
| NOOOOOOO, Caaal! :/ That was very very sad end for her... Even though they show her true end in advance. She deserved the second chance too.. oh, well. I guess there was no other way after what she did before. But still... it tears my very soul to watch this, knowing that those character won't have their happy endings. An assassins don't deserve a peace, I guess. Let me see you smile for the last time. |
| im so dissapointed, i was really kinda hoping for love-reunion kinda thing between him and Cal |
