To sum this episode up in a couple of words: great and quite a bit of mind blown moments (but then again, to me, this isn't nothing new with this show :3).^^

I gotta say, for me, this has got to be the best episode so far. A lot of actions, and overall, epic moments. We also got to see Hakaze back in the present! It does seem that she likes Yoshino as well! Gotta keep on eye on what's gonna happen there. Mahiro doesn't seem fazed at seeing her naked as much as Yoshino, guessing there's not gonna be anything between the two besides the problem with Aika's killer. >.< Though I guess that was expected. But, the whole "who's the real bad guy: the Tree of Genesis or the Tree of Exodus" is quite mind effing. At this point, I'd say both are bad guys. Though, a lot of this is revolved around Aika >.<

Well, the ending made me pretty darn surprised; didn't expect the Tree of Genesis (or was it the Tree of Exodus?) to *attempt to* kill Yoshino and Mahiro! The command by Hakaze to Samon was definitely nice to see too^^ Aika's last line in this episode did confuse me too *to me, it kinda sounded like she's willing the world to end and start anew :O*

In the next episode seems like we are going to see a dream (possibly Mahiro's?). Let's see how this is going to go! Well, it's gonna be awhile until we get to see the next episode (around 2 weeks), until then; I need to catch up with all the airing (and non-airing) Anime I'm watching!

I was amazed when I saw them being hit by the stupid tree, but I just knew they would be alright. Killing two of the main characters when there are 12 episodes left will rarely work, and it doesn't fit this kind of show. Amazing episode though, lots of development. Hakaze and Yoshino may turn into a couple, but wouldn't it be boring if it would be that obvious and predictable?

I like this anime so much and this episode is very attractive! i hope Yoshino and mahiro don't die!! i love them both!! Aika is really mysterious!! it's as if she know what will happen from the begining! she is so luky to have such handsome brother and boyfriend! i don't think that Yoshino and Hakaze love each other because yoshino is so faithful to Aika he remember her everytime and Hakaze is just grateful to Yoshino!! and mahiro will never kill yoshino but i think that expression on his face in the preview is surprise when he discovers that Aika's boyfriend is Yoshino.

Maybe you were entertained but I basically snored through the last four episodes... this is just going nowhere fast and I'm bored as fuck. I don't think I'm going to be able to watch this up to episode 24, I'm actually amazed that they managed to fill 24 episodes lol.

Wow. Okay. 4/5

Well, um, this show is really unexpected and I cannot predict what's gonna happen at all. Amazing.
It's at a solid 8 right mostly because I find it uncomfortable to watch since it confuses me every couple of minutes.
The plot is well-written and very mind blowing but it's so...Difficult to watch for me. :/ Well, as expected from the Spiral author!

so this guys is the same that wrote spiral? O.o so is obvious that he can do something this amazing

I did get a chuckle watching two trees trying to kill each other. Lawl.

I didn't expect our two main protagonists to be injured so grievously though. That was quite a shocker.

Woah, this anime is one plot twist after another. I like that, it keeps you guessing what will happen and stays interesting.
Even when they were hit by the tree I doubted they'd die then, but it does seem to be a warning that anyone the tree deems dispensable will be killed. I'm guessing there'll be lots of death in the last episodes. xD

OMG both of the MCs got a critical hit from a mad tree, to see blood suddenly that was shocking and unexpected! Sad to see Yoshino getting severely injured like that, almost split in half :( Mahiro while getting stabbed, I could see maybe that's a talisman was activated? I'm sure they will survive, but I wonder how. 5/5 for drawing me more into the series, one of my favorites!

Mindfuck...total mindfuck.
The last part of this arc was a real mindfuck..but I really enjoyed it.
I cannot believe it took me so long to start this anime even though It was on my PTW list for quite sometime.

I'm so excited..although it'd be sad if Mahiro decided to kill Yoshino..I really enjoyed the rare scenes when there was some brotherly love between them.

and wtf is up with those trees ?

Evil freaking trees man.

So glad we're finally moving onto the next part of the story in the next episode. As much as I enjoyed it, I feel like they sort of stretched the confrontation with Samon (even if watching him nearly have a stroke every time, things went wrong was lulzy) out longer than it needed to be. I was starting to think Mahiro would just lose it and pull the trigger.

I'm 90% sure that Aika is alive. First I thought she commited suicide and that's why they couldn't find the killer. Now I think she could be the princess mage of the tree of Exodus. If that's true she could defy logic and fake her suicide or bring herself back to life somehow~ I'm almost sure of it~ but who knows, there could be something else :D

Hardcore tree on tree violence, plus the apocalypse. Epic.

Hmm, once it was made possible for a skeleton to become a living person again with the help of time travel... then that doesn't mean Aika is permanently dead anymore either. If she happens to meet certain critical conditions, it will be possible to bring her back a la Hakaze as well.

Holy shit I didn't think I could love this show any more than I already did, but it just keeps getting better!!

Mahiro and Yoshino will definitely be alive since they are the MC's with an anime that has 12 episodes left... but it was still pretty shocking seeing the 2 get demolished by the Tree of Genesis so swiftly.

Gah.. I should try to take a break from this series so I don't go through all of it's goodness too quickly!

i have no proof. and i dont want anoyine to prove if im rit. so this does not count as a aspoiler. but based on all the events that led up to this point. and how they say that an mage of exodus was born. i feel that i shud try to figure out who it was. and the only logical answer i have for that is that it is aika who is the mage of exodus. and that she probably suicide. its the only logical choice to me. all that sleft to prove my hypothesis is to what happens next u_u

Ouch! If that was the case Mahiro should have just gone "fuck it!" and blown up the Tree of Exodus earlier which in turn would have destroyed the Tree of Genesis. That sucks! . . . Wonder what will happen from here on, even if they do come back, they really aren't needed so they probably won't be given any magical charms or w/e, so at that point Yoshino/Mahiro will basically just be chasing the storm w/o being able to do anything.

Whoa, big battle between the trees. Seems like the world is out of joint, and the two main characters are mortally wounded. I wouldn't be surprised if those two were actually killed off but that seems highly unlikely. Anyway, that was a great first arc, and Hazake is a bit too cocky for her own good. Samon turns out to be better as a henchman rather than as a leader, he's such a wussy

Lol wat. First, Samon kills Hakaze. She 'resurrects'. Samon obeys Hakaze's orders. Logic.
At least there's not so much Aika anymore and Hakaze is back.
Also this Trees bullshit is getting annoying. Is the whole plot about it?...

Ugh f*ck that tree. It's like a sociopathic greek god. They should make it slumber again and leave the world to chance.

They say the trees represent logic and destruction, but
the Tree of Genesis in it's ultimate control, is fate; manipulation over the events, objects, and minds of those existing.

So there is the possibility that what the Tree of Exodus ultimately represents, is chance; utter autonomy.

They could both be too extreme, but in my opinion as an atheist, fate is non-existent. So therefore, chance would reflect our world as it is now.

Samon has got to be the lamest antagonist ever. He got pushed into a corner so easily like 5 times and is accepting everyone's demands now that he has no control over the situation.

Btw transferring your entire body onto a different skeleton would be incredibly hard when you cant even see the target. If you miss by a millimeter youre screwed.

This anime... Tells us that a main character is actually dead and speaking through time, gets that main character saved, kills two other main characters right away! lol

I love how there were so many dialogue-heavy episodes in a row and yet they were the most amazing ones so far without a doubt. Also love how the plot went from "defeat Samon the Bad Guy!" to "wait, which side is the right one again?"

And Mahiro's I-don't-give-a-damn-about-your-world-or-sides attitude along with Yoshino's trolling of Samon to manipulate the outcome is a thing to watch. Poor Samon, going into shock upon seeing how utterly wrong yet convincing Yoshino was. xD

Amazing.

I figured that when the mages weren't shown to be "evil" that they wouldn't be the true villains of the anime but both of the trees (my own guess) that all the characters will have to unite to fight against.

And of course I'm sure there is some larger reason for that girls death than a mere plot device to set things in motion, what its significance will turn out being... will have to find out later.

Apparently shit's started going down. I'm still a little disappointed in samon as since he's appeared face to face he was almost permanently under pressure while admitting defeat after defeat. I'd expected him to be more serious about being a protagonist but it looks like he isn't cut out for this job. Hakaze reminds me of erza from fairy tail atm. That's actually a bad thing because I hate op characters.

The plot itself isn't that bad as my interesting towards those two trees and the philosophy behind them starts to grow. The part when mahiro and yoshino suddenly got rekt was a good tone shift.
