Mitsuki is actually starting to get real creepy now...

On the other hand, I guess it's kinda cute to see Mio and Takuya continously growing closer every episode in this arc. Plus, the two of them working together is better than solo. That Mitsuki headshot though.

You know how people have been comparing this to Steins;Gate all the time?

Let's step it up.

COMMENCE THE CLANNAD COMPARISONS!

So in Clannad, after completing a route Tomoya is rewarded with a tiny glowing orb, and upon collecting them all a special route (After Story) is unlocked. But guess what?

Well CLANNAD TOOK THIS FROM YU-NO.

It's easy to miss/forget in the anime, but in episode 1 the dad's letter told Takuya to gather all the remaining orbs for the Reflector Device and THEN go to the mountain. None of these paths were the one Takuya "belongs to", causing Chaos Correction to loop him back to the start. Only now did he get his first orb in the anime, and the goal (gather orbs) is more clear. The question is, what happens then?...

Mind blown yet? By now you guys should slowly begin to understand just how influential this VN is. YU-NO, to my knowledge, invented this specific kind of story structure; multi-route-to-unlock-the-ending VNs like Clannad and Zero Escape try to reuse this structure and come up with their own new plot that fits, whereas the plot IS the structure in YU-NO. This is such an iconic aspect of YU-NO that the timeline map is heavily featured in the OP and ED.

Mitsuki ended up killing herself.

Seems like Takuya has to restart from the beginning.

same...This story is super interesting and characters are fun... Assuming MCs weird jokes, dialogues sometimes feeling sloppy and timing of fanservice scenes feel bad becase of the adaptation the VN might be something amazing... Hopefully VN will happen sometime soon...

I didn't expect Takuya to be reset this quickly.

So, does he reset to the beginning of it all in his own universe and timeline? Does he skip to another universe at the beginning of the timeline. Do the things he does in one universe affect what happens in the other universes? He declined to use the reflector device to save Mitsuki until he got Mio out of the cave, because he wasn't sure what would happen to her in that universe if he left to go save Mitsuki...so now that he is resetting, does that mean the Mitsuki of that universe and timeline remains dead?

The way his father spoke, Ryuzoji isn't even human....he called him a "thing".

I would have worried that destroying the device under the mountain would render the reflector device useless though.

I was kind of surprised that Takuya hesitated at all to go back and save Mitsuki. I can only guess it was because Mio's life was on the line this time too, not just his own.

I guess even with moments of clarity, Mitsuki couldn't break free of Ryuzoji's hypnosis

October the 2nd for it to come out on steam, and 18+ patch will probably come within the month too.

18+ patch? Doubtful. The remake was made for consoles first as an H-scene free release.

In case you were wondering how the sword was able to take out that tower...

A metal sword, despite its age, is still metal, and conducts electricity. Throwing the sword and getting it lodged into the tower created a sort of "lightning rod" to which the lightning was attracted. Lightning struck the sword and traveled through it, hitting the tower and causing it to short-circuit.

And this is how a sword can destroy a tower!

There is no 18+/adult version of the remake.
Also, it'll be translated by Spike Chunsoft which means nothing but trash.
Just get the original fan translated version.
Dub = fake crap. Always.

Let's complain that it is not an 18+ version is silly, it's crap like most of the 18+ content in eroges. And it is normal in absolutely all the novels that come out on consoles, the remake of Tears To Tiara(Utawarerumono) does not include any of that and simply improved the whole.

Good episode, full of action and very well paced. Was bit down that there was no romance in the end and that Yuuki was able to apologize in such horrible way (felt bit anticlimatic with how Takuya casually disappeared after that but everything before was great and Mitsuki's death was brutal.

So it seems like the next route is Eriko/Mitsuki's one... that white coat made it obvious.
It's almost given now that there will be at least 16 episodes or so before he collects all the stones - and that Kanna will be the last route.

Also, after 13th episode there will be slight delay for summer season, moving new episodes to Thursday instead of Tuesday. I believe they leave the last route of this arc for the begining of the next quartal.

Fine episode but the real question is how did Takuya get so good at throwing swords? Were there some time resets we missed? No way you could do that on your first try.

Very good episode but there's only a negative element to point : dude, the sword was rusty as fuck, you can't get it out of the rock by touching the sharpened part...

And then, I wish we knew how to make solid weapons like that, 'cause it didn't break after they pulled a stone door AND a big rock... despite being thousands years old lmao

Anyway, it's great to advance as Takuya does : we learn a bit more after each time he travels from worlds to worlds. I'm actually to see how he will act with Mio & Mitsuki, now that he is aware one loves him & the other one is being hypnotised.

I can't remember if they mentioned it in the anime (I think they did in passing) but he was a member of the school's sword club.
Signature:
I prefer comedies, horror, hentai, and combinations of such. Anime with a lack of fan service is a disservice.

Many things to say:
1. The Lightning Tower that dates approximately 8,000 years ago. What?!.
2. The teacher died. Damn Ryuzoji!
3.And Takuya vanished again on the road in a world of parallel events

HOW did she magically find a way down, under the water after falling and MAGICALLY getting through to where they just had to pry the doors to get in. Also not wanting to go for the device even though he's used it liker fot 3 THOUSAND times, even for shit as stupid as math tests. But he won't save the girl he loved! Also can someone explain to me WHAT the point of escaping JUST to hit the button on the outside? If you are resetting time anyway, then why did you have to leave?

This would be a better series without the sudden lecherous behavior of the MC. Those gags detract from an otherwise interesting story.
