| Anyone think that Mamoru is going to turn into a Fiend? He's already afraid that they're coming for him, so it's possible he's going crazy. |
| Ara ara. |
Z-flame said: SetsukoHara said: are you saying that other shows that are popular don't have that?Z-flame said: Another good episode. Why is this show so underrated? A combination of those elements: Inconsistent directing, heavy dialog, complex story, yaoi. No, he doesn't. |
| All hail the Nutcracker Queen! |
| "A chain is only strong as its weakest link..." That was probably the coolest quote I've heard in a while! It's empowering and deadly at the same time. This whole episode was great! Nice flashbacks and fill-ins, now we finally know most of the extent of the Councils' information and somewhat of their power (of course, I don't think that Satoru's grandma is really telling Saki everything since she didn't bother letting her know the other karma demons and fiends that followed the very first ones- I'm also guessing that Saki's older sisters were in one of those categories as well and that's why she didn't give Saki all of the examples of karma demons and fiends). We have yet to see the copycats and other mystical animals but all in good time, seeing as Mamoru is missing. Guess we know who the weakest link is. I'd really like to see how they conduct this psychological 'personality index' test and how this Hashimoto-Appelbaum syndrome came about. More information of the ancient civilizations that the 'false' Minoshiro was talking about would be nice. I wonder if they're going to flash back to the era with that emperor who burned the first 100 of his citizens if they stopped clapping. Either way, can't wait for the next adventure :P |
| I hope Mamoru is okay. And I feel so sorry for Saki all the shit she has been through. The new world is defiently one fucked up place and plus now its snowing. Shit is really getting real now. |
 |
| Lol they broke mamoru, after all he is the 'weakest link' |
 |
VioLink said: Oh no I hope Mamoru is- HOLY SHIT  Ohh someone needs a little more screen time ...heck I put her up for MC anyday Anyways crazy how that dude ripped the teacher apart like that was crazy. Scary as junk. So we have Fiends and Karma demons....while Fiends are violent by nature |
VioLink said: Titties. I didn't see those coming in this episode. LOLOh no I hope Mamoru is- HOLY SHIT myuun said: You could also try http://www.nwanime.com/. It's where I watch most of my shows and the subs come out faster than other sites I've been to.zx321 said: Hi, I was just wondering where you found the episode to watch? All I can find are raws. I just went to animefreak.tv, they have the newest episode up already. Sometimes I just google up Aidoru subs and torrent it from there when they are done. Hahaha majority of the time I just wait for my friend (walk) to give me the link 'cause she is better at checking than I am. |
| One of the better explained episodes. Even though it was dialogue-heavy, it felt necessary to catch up with the story and provide some direction again. Didn't feel so lost this week. |
VioLink said: Oh no I hope Mamoru is- HOLY SHIT Damn didn't notice that. Your eyes are too good xD Plot still building up~ Now, did Mamoru really become one or not... |
| Well... I think I'm the only one who loves this part: |
| Plot twist haha. Who would have thought Saki was brought in to be the next head of the committee? Always had a feeling Mamoru was gonna screw things up; let's see if the crew can patch things up before things get out of hand. Another good episode that's keeping me excited for the next one. |
| A match made in heaven set the fires in hell |
Intereo said: Well... I think I'm the only one who loves this part: Ive noticed that Maria has been getting more frames and polish in her animation than the other characters this past two episodes. Is she the most popular character or something? |
| The Art of Eight |
Intereo said: Well... I think I'm the only one who loves this part: Uuuugh I noticed that too, that animation is so beautiful and glorious and omg how her hair bounces is adorable. I loved that scene. |
| Excellent episode I got a feeling that something bad will happen to Mamoru |
VioLink said: Oh no I hope Mamoru is- HOLY SHIT snipes i remembered her think she had the long ass hair way back when they were doing the cantus matches in class wonderful episode all my questions have been answered so far..i fucking knew that Mamoru would end up giving in was the weakest one of the group side note art animation were really nice this time around reminded me of the first episode |
 |
Intereo said: I noticed that part "sigh" Maria is so pretty.Well... I think I'm the only one who loves this part: |

Always had a feeling Mamoru was gonna screw things up; let's see if the crew can patch things up before things get out of hand. Another good episode that's keeping me excited for the next one. I had thought of something like that. People like saki are very responsible, that's why telling her the truth is the best way to "control" her. See how quickly she accept that she can't have her memories back now when the grandmother tell her the truth : "you may be strong enough to get them back without danger, but what about the others ?". She know it's true, that's why she can accept it. And, like akane, her psycho-pass is really clear :p |
VioLink said: Oh no I hope Mamoru is- HOLY SHIT i booked dem tits too. like it was so brief but my eyes zoomed in onto them lol xD Poor Mamoru i hope he doesn't go awol. |
| Are you kidding me, that's how Satoru's grandma looks like, she is beautiful?! Man, that flashback was intense, K totally lost it. |

| Dark History..... look like minority report even more now with a twist to it. |
| Amazing episode and they go into more detail and explain many different things. I love this anime so MUCH!!! |
| I think there are less villages than in the past. Isn't their society shrinking? And why they are "disposing of" people without Cantus? They don't have power to do anything anyway. And I wonder if there are any other societies beside their. Don't they have anybody curious? If it were me, I would go exploring, and possibly leave this society with someone for good. Adventure! Messing with my brain is something UNACCEPTABLE! |

Iwans18 said: Messing with my brain is something UNACCEPTABLE! That's what education is all about. Your parents, your teachers, society, they all "messed" with your brain to make you able to live in good harmony with the other people. In this anime, everybody has an incredible destruction power, that can manifest both consiously and unconsciously. That's why the conditionning is tighter. I'd rather have someone messing with my brain, than hurting or killing people I love |

Messing with my brain is something UNACCEPTABLE! I think it's because it's a risk if that person give birth to another without cantus too, like their power could be gone in generations, so it's better dispose of them than risk the power they need to survive in that New World. It's my opnion, i can be totally off track here XD |
| this series is probably my favorite this season and hopefully it will stay that way next season. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| This show just keeps growing and growing, I think it's become my favourite anime this season. When I started watching it, I knew nothing and thought that it was just some slice of life anime, based on the poster. Oh how wrong I was. :') By the way, does anyone know Tomiko-sama's VA? |
At the beginning with loli Saki and her boobs are still huge. I want to be this girl female partner :> |

evelynie said: I was wondering if anyone has ever read "The Giver"? This anime really reminds me of it. Yes, both tackles a somewhat similar theme. SSY is more daring in the implementation though. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I appreciated all the information on the Ogres and Karmic Demons, it's cleared up a lot of the events that happened previously for me. |
| What a plot twist. And I think I've worked out something that's going to happen in a future episode. Something dreadful. But for now... What's happened to Mamoru? Is the six really about to become 3? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
kuuderes_shadow said: I really don't think they need to take out one more of them since it is the perfect time for Saki to really do something.What a plot twist. And I think I've worked out something that's going to happen in a future episode. Something dreadful. But for now... What's happened to Mamoru? Is the six really about to become 3? |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". Wonderful. Fourth brilliant episode in a row. This is already at least the best thing since Penguindrum. |
| "A chain is only strong as its weakest link..." Does that also applies to Saki and the others with Mamoru as the weakest link? |
| —Actually, nevermind. |
evelynie said: I was wondering if anyone has ever read "The Giver"? This anime really reminds me of it. I mentioned that in one of the first episode threads already. It totally feels like The Giver despite being pretty different. But nice to see that I am not the only one thinking that. ^^ |

VioLink said: Oh no I hope Mamoru is- HOLY SHIT Ha! I had to rewind after the first time, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. |
Tryss said: That's what education is all about. Your parents, your teachers, society, they all "messed" with your brain to make you able to live in good harmony with the other people. Then something went wrong in that process and they "messed" me in wrong way. I'm not good with other people and I hate current society. But brainwashing or erasing memories isn't good idea even if it's for good. ayasaaki said: I think it's because it's a risk if that person give birth to another without cantus too, like their power could be gone in generations, so it's better dispose of them than risk the power they need to survive in that New World. People lived without cantus for centuries, so they will survive without it. So I still don't know, why children without cantus are disposed of. |
Iwans18 said: People lived without cantus for centuries, so they will survive without it. So I still don't know, why children without cantus are disposed of. I can think of a couple of reasons off the top of my head, perhaps they cant handle the power that leaks out from cantus users, pride leftover the the war 1000 years prior, or just to keep the people from worrying about future generations power from disappearing, the last two are probably plausible considering their terrible society. well those are just a few ideas so think what you want. Edit: failed at quoting haha |
| We've learned a lot this episode! Looks like Mamoru is next on the list for elimitation... |
 |
| I really hope Saki won't become the next head of the .... <what was it again?> In my eyes it would seem that if she does it means she accepts the way their society is and also chooses to lead it, even though the system itself took away her beloved Shun, messed up her memories and took away her sister (and wiped her very existence from everyone's mind). I'm sorry but it's bullshit if you decide to lead such a system that only caused pain and confusion. Of course I understand the fact that Shun's existence was a thread for all of them so "sacrificing" him would be the social right thing to do, one persons life just isn't worth risking thousands of others for, that I can understand. But if you can accept the fact that kind of mind setting that took away your sister and your friend/love interest and decide to lead it then that's just bullshit if you ask me... But again, just my opinion. |
