Sample of the sp. ep. online.



Lists as Episode 14 here, but actually a special numberless ep.

Oh, and the series is airing again in Japan @ Tokyo MX Sunday 24:00.

The subs for the special are now available.

This is somewhat a character development on Yukina and maybe Natsume. But I'm kind of lost on the sequence of events. Or maybe I'm beginning to feel like Yukina, who seems to be lost on what's going on because she's gone for three days. Idk, it somewhat feels like Inception.

Plus, I'm disappointed that Kazura has little screen time here.

This episode is quite the trip. I recognize how everything is going on, (The memory of the girl lying in the guy. The guy who disappears was the 'old man' referred by the little girl towards the end, etc.) but the sequence is a bit odd as it jump from present to past memory.

However, that seems to be the point of the episode. Even Yukina is having a bit of trouble telling the past from present. Very Inception-like.


Edit: also neat that Night Raid is getting re-aired. I guess it was a bit more popular than I thought.

Yeah i thought of Inception when i saw the episode, and then again the opium reference could have something to do with it...

Good news night raid getting re-aired, although the anime chikara project got canceled of poor rates.
So we could assume that instead of producing a new project for the already bought slot, they re-run night raid?

Anime no Chikara is not canceled. They're just taking a break.

I didn't follow what was going on in this episode, but I liked it. So far I prefer these specials to the actual series.

Opium is a narcotic and the same substance used on heroin and doesn't bring hallucinations. It only brings relaxation and drowsiness. But I think the opium made her sleepy on the process and affected her abilities. Well, Sakurai told her that she must be exhausted after reading that guy's mind.

Where'd my post go? D:
Tl,dr this was one weird episode.
But it was good, in all its weirdness.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Aoi mentioned someone named "Soryu" at the start after the guard kicked the cat. Who is he? I'm watching the one subbed by SGKK-Doki

This episode was random . . . What the hell happened? Did she trip out because she was reading the memories of an opium addict . . . Or what?

Yeah Inception-like is the best way to describe this episode. It was tough to tell what was real and what was fake and what was memory.
