Actually, I thought this was a very heartwarming episode and finally gave Maya some closure with the memory of her father so she has a real goal now that is beyond "kill the school."

Oh OH SHIT NEXT EPISODE!

Wow, it actually seems that the next episode will be related to the main plot. With three episodes until the end I smell half-assed attempt at closure. Here I was hoping that it would turn out better than Night Raid.

Also,
direction is the worst


Looking at relevant sources, it's guy's first anime. Hopefully, he will get better... if his position as assistant director in Toki o Kakeru Shoujo wasn't limited to distributing coffee.

It's about time.

Maya crying was sad to watch but at least she made up her mind to focus on Nostradamus key.
The waitress and the vice principle competing over Abe sensei was funny, speaking of which they both are planning something.

The episode itself was pretty good with a heartwarming end to Akari's situation and how that tied into Maya's own issues with her father.

But looking at the series as a whole so far, it's hard not to find fault with the direction per the posts above. They probably should have made it easier on themselves and either excluded the whole Nostradamus key/avert the end of the world plot entirely or done the reverse and made it the primary focus in most (if not all) the episodes.

I doubt they would spoiler something like this in a preview if it really happened.

I like the show, mainly because I find Maya and Abe a rather entertaining couple. The plot itself sounds interesting as well but there has hardly been any development yet. I can't imagine how they plan to end this within three more eps without totally rushing it.

Best episode yet if we exclude the first 22 min. The preview was really done poorly maybe revealing too much and whats up with telling the title of the next episode.

Disapointed with this series. I didnt expect anything spectacular but this is so bad.

Akari's story was really sad. Glad she was finally able to see her father again and pass on peacefully.
I don't understand Maya's jealousy. And I doubt that Mikaze is the key, I think she's a set distraction to Bunmei finding the key.
However, it IS funny to see two women fighting for the affections of a loser like Bunmei.

So i went into this episode saying, "alright, time to get this Akari arc over with." Then i proceeded to watch through this, and somehow ending up crying at the Akari scene. Cliche situation i know, but the effect worked and i left with a positive view of this episode.

Did anyone else find the vibes between Abe and Maya... Weird? Or a little off track. I mean usually you don't have a vision of a her right after you think "could this be the moment i get my first girlfriend?"
^Either way we are killing her off. My guess is that Abe will work with the students to raise her from the dead... Okay maybe more like i hope. As long as it works well it will be an interesting development.

Very peculiar episode once again, but a cleverly peculiar one. After all those episodes spent on setting and chracter relationships, the final arc can begin.

Clearly either Mikaze or Vice President killed Maya, no spirit can go near her, her dad's diary protects her from all spirit beings and monsters. I have NEVER trusted Mikaze and NEVER will. Maybe after she is the Nostrodomus Key, she kills Maya then she calls the aliens to come invade, because Maya was the biggest obstacle. Mikaze probably came from the future to kill Bunmei(reference to terminator on how the future terminators kept going to the past to kill John Connor). Plus, Mikaze's voice is really annoying, it just pierces through me.

A question, is it possible for that fat guy to be the Key??? Remember a few episodes ago when he was playing the alien and then Abe took a picture of him, the fat guy was alive with 2-3 kids that looks like him. Abe stated that if he takes a picture of the Key, it will show a bright future and not a wasteland. He also took a picture of Vice President and there was a wasteland and he was poor and dead, so she isn't the key.

Well I felt sad for Akari, but for some reason I couldn't care about Maya. I guess cus she annoys me? Haha.

So the next three eps will be a rushed plot to figure out who killed the principal (well it's the vice-principal &co. but Maya doesn't know that) and what the Nostradamus Key is (probably Mikaze). Hopefully it won't drag or be too boring like most of the eps have been lately.

Mikaze is annoying and it seems like she lives in a cave---> referring to her appearance.

Maya dying...most probably an explanation like body switch or something will be added. She just cannot die.

Good call. I think that's how it goes too... we'll see.

Heartwarming episode, but I feel they should have gotten back to the main plot sooner...

I don't want the next few eps to feel rushed..... :(

Yea only thing that stuck out this episode was Mikazes dark expression as Bumei left, not much on faces in this one other, only reason for the this little Christmas Arc was just to show more of Mayas emotions and making get closer to Bunmei, 3 eps left, hopefully a decent ending.

Not that im disappointed by the series yet, its just the first couple of episodes were very interesting and unique so I probably made out the show o be more than it actually was.
