It's getting a lot interesting now, with the characters meeting each others.

Now that was an awesome episode. It took some time, but finally all characters are meeting each other and starting to work towards the same goal. Marvelously executed.

I love how the three girls met each other and how they're all working towards the same goal.

Well... if I stated my sentiments here, I'd just be echoing what everyone else said. ;) I'll echo anyway, I suppose: I'm loving how all of their stories are now meshing into one, and how it's finally clear how Youko, Suzu, Shoukei, and the moronic Asano are now all in the same "playing field". I'm also super glad and relieved that Shoukei has [supposedly - or at least seemingly - and hopefully] brought Suzu to her senses. It seems like every character gets a chance to redeem himself/herself, so I'm hoping the same will be true for Asano...

I'll admit that this show is getting pretty compelling, but I still don't think it's very good. It took almost an entire two thirds of the show to finally get us to a point where we actually have a central conflict. I'm not going to say that nothing happened to get us here, but this show really dragged ass plot wise. Even if it's great from this point on I don't think it will be enough to save it from mediocrity.

It's lovely that the princess now is giving a morale to Suzu, lol it's a strange thing but thats the rat effect!
It's getting really interesting as posters said up there.
I was going to give this show from 7 to 8. But if it complete this way I might end up giving it 9. (Although I'm really generous in rating, as the 10 isn't really a 10 but it's something between A and A+. While the 9 is something between B+ and A-. Something like that.

And that's why this arc is my favorite in the series despite how long it takes for it to really get moving. Great character development from the 3 girls. Another thing I really like about this arc is how often the Shirei are used/get screen time.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

This. The main reason I'm glad it took so long was to remember what all the words meant/referred to.

I think that was one of the best singular episodes I've seen in the longest time. It was the culmination of all the previous episodes into one big discussion of the way things are and where they might be going. The awareness of each action and the consequences of such, the crossing of stories and the shared understanding brought to the forefront, the lessons learned that are finally being put to use, and the strength of character and faith really being put to the test. My goodness.

Awww I guess there are so many problems in the world can be solved just by simply talking

I like how the guy that heard those two girls talking and crying, just like that
He had an interesting expression, confused I guess
Like "Sigh women amirite" xD

I like Youko's smile at the end

Finally!! :D It took so long to get here!
Now I'm wondering how Taiki will be brought back into this, seeing as so many episodes have been dedicated to him, he must have some role to eventually play.

Shit is about to go down.


Suzu and Shoukei getting to know each other was great. Definitely worth all the build up.
