| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tamaki believes that her headaches are caused by events related to the barrier. She tries to find out more about the seal. The teacher definitely knows more than she's letting on. Mm, everyone tells each other what they like and don't like. The artifact is revealed and there are 5 unique objects that makes it up.   ^_^ |

| Wow, a relatively decent fight but Tamayori side sucks. How could they not notice that Vier is their teacher, idiots. The best thing for me are still the moments when Tamaki gets embarrassed and they are not that great to be honest. The worst thing are these stupid scenes before the preview starts and one of the guys talks to us, Ohmi today was gay (no offence to the homesexual side). This has still a lot of room for improvements. |

| The enemy group introduced themselves and got what they wanted to get back. Just because she hasn't awake with her power, she cannot restore the seal. The preview guy this ep. is the long hair guy. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
 Battle visuals were great, especially Mahiro, Takuma, and even Shinji offering the supper skills for Mahiro's moves. I like the effects they had with it. For this genre, it seem rather compelling and makes me hope we get even more through the remainder of the 26 ep run. I also couldnt help but notice the high quality background visuals, really nice. Character wise it was nice learning of their hobbies, of course the Tamayori princess had to have the most hilarious one, that made me laugh like Mahiro. Babe sama looked so distressed at the end there after the bracelet was taken, hopefully the princess's power can be realized before Logos Monado gets more. I guess next is Shinji in the preview, cant wait. |

| I seem to be missing a couple of things here. Tamaki's grandmother seems to expect her to be doing something, but she's sure not being very helpful or forthcoming with information. She wouldn't see Tamaki earlier when Tamaki came to ask questions, and now, it's to late. The seal is broken? Shouldn't the Evil Spirits be lose now? Or maybe it's just seriously weakened. Or maybe the Evil Spirits are a little slow and haven't noticed yet ;) |
 |
| MUCH better than the previous episode in terms of story, pacing and action. Visuals are still as gorgeous as ever :). O-Chan the Kitsune is sooo adorable! :D |
| Man I so loved the part where Mahiro laughed, his voice was just perfect :D Takuma was cute in this episode, he failed to hide his love for taiyaki :D |
| the fight scene was getting pretty good, until the guardians got their asses HANDED to them monado and her accomplices now have an artifact, cant wait to see the repercussions the grandma's pretty scary, reminds me of the sonozaki grandma from higurashi x] |

| A decent fight, and somehow it feels short |
 |
| Without thinking about my opinion I give this show a 7/10 but I'm loving it in gigantic proportions :D maybe my favorite of this season. |
| In the beginning why did they even have to speculate that they were part of a team?? Just to reveal the meaning behind their names? It was pretty obvious. And at first they say they are going to leave her out of battles but then just drag her along anyway... Hmm... not liking this anime like I was hoping. It is not even a guilty pleasure anymore. |
| def the best episode so far... sucks they lost an artifact! |
  |
| Those guys are strong. I really thought Tamaki and the guys beat them again. |
| Aria Rosenburg? Aww man, I wanted to hear her say "Fünf". Also, the heavily cliché-overloaded cast gets the typical mysterious and arrogant Lolicon in noble dresses, eh? Certainly didn't asked for that. At least, with finally some action going on, there may be the first thing about this show, I could actually care about. It was kinda cool, even though a little short. But that SHOULD be different, next time. |
 |
| This anime's art is too good for its story.The pacing of story has not been very good so far....I am thinking of dropping this. |
 |
| The first half was boring as hell, and I am talking "Fall asleep" boring -_- The came the fight, nice visuals bad animation, it was ok. If I didn't pay for this I would have dropped this already. 2/5 Sent with Mal Updater phoenixalia said: PLease buy a copy if you can by going to amazon japan which can be viewed in english and pass on to every place possible with hiiro and otome anime fans. Please do this not for Hiiro, but for the sake of future otome adaptations. I'm serious. If each one of us buys one copy, Hiiro will be saved and we will pave the way for more otome games. I don't mind watching otome game adaptations, but this show is just too bad for me to even considering buying it. Of course this is just my opinion. |

phoenixalia said: this anime...they should have just made it a one cour. I mean honestly, introduction of characters could have been done in one chapter and the discovering tamayori in another and so on. all the same, guys, I have some horrible news. hiiro no kakera is not doing well in DVD sales in Japan. Estimates say it won't even reach 1500. That's REALLY BAD! So please, if you can, please spread the word about this. I know this anime isn't the best but for more otome anime we NEED this to succeed. Only then will other studios be ready to animate more. PLease buy a copy if you can by going to amazon japan which can be viewed in english and pass on to every place possible with hiiro and otome anime fans. Please do this not for Hiiro, but for the sake of future otome adaptations. I'm serious. If each one of us buys one copy, Hiiro will be saved and we will pave the way for more otome games. I agree with you in that more otome games should get anime adaptations, but i don't agree with this method. if producers see a profit from shoddy work such as this anime, they'll assume they can just take it for granted and make bad adaptations. i don't want hiiro to be saved, i want good anime to be made. |
| Is there character at the end really attempting to have a true conversation with me at the end of the episode? I laughed when I realized that's what the "preview endings" have been doing this whole time. This episode made up for a lot of ground lost in the first 3 episodes. I liked it, but the slice of life drama trying to butt its way into the plot is a major disappointment. It's going to take a lot from the fifth episode to make me not drop it, but we'll see. |
| I (surprisingly?) like this series so far! I don't like the "blond loli princess" chara (since when did this kind of chara are in OTOME games????), and not so much the big boobs woman neither but the "bad" guys are interesting ^^ Guys, don't complain about the pacing, it's not a fighting shounen/seinen!!! It's an otome game adaptation! for girlssssss!!! The girls who want fight and action watch/play shounen/seinen! And I quiet loke the last few seconds when one of the guys "speak" directly with me ^o^ even if it's normal in games, I think it's the first time I saw this in anime ^.^ phoenixalia said: Why so many people used "fujoshi" when speaking about GIRLS!!??? Seriously! Fujoshi = BL/yaoi/shounen-ai/boysxboys action! Fujoshi don't specially like otome game/anime/manga!!! Because the main chara ARE GIRLS! >_< I don't say that fujoshi NEVER, not even ALMOST NEVER like otome stuff, but they are not the target! And this season there are much more interesting "fujoshi bait", with for example "Sakamichi no Apollon" (so great friendship, stupid fight and cute reconciliation), "Tsuritama" (all main chara are guys between 16 and 25 and are already sooo good friends...), "Kuroko no Basket" (already 2 guys "fighting" because they want Kuroko...).Its almost like DEEN saw how much they made wit hakouki and thought, oh fujoshi will buy ANYTHING with their bishies...if I were them I'd have been 'oh my gosh! our money is wit otoge anime' and given more importance to hiiro but there you are. Most fujoshi prefer (for the "fujoshi" part, not specially as anime/manga/game fan) shounen/seinen stuff (excepted the ecchi's one!)because of the "friendship" so strong between guys! Up to now, Hiiro no Kakera is really disappointed for this! Almost NO interaction between the guys, no special friendship... and not even hints of romance of the "otome" target. @phoenixalia: about Sankarea, it's a shounen, so aimed for guys! the manga seems to be ecchi but the first 3ep are not specially ecchi! 2 panties in ep3! Ecchi fan and/or manga fan would probably waiting to see more before deciding to buy a 3000~6000 yens DVD! |

phoenixalia said: No no no! Fujoshi means literally: "rotten girls" cute name isn't it! And it's used ONLY for BL/yaoi/boy's love stuff fan! Even in Japan most of people (including otaku) don't know what is a fujoshi! It's a name used mostly by hardcore otakus for the girls going to the "otome road", a road in Ikebururo where you can find the most important shops selling boy's love manga/doujinshi/games (in comparison you have Akihabara for the guys with moe/ecchi/hentai stuff)first off in the fujoshi part, I'm new to he term as well but many say that fujoshi means somethign in japan and it means female otaku in english speaking countries. Some people in MAL and/or outside Japan used it in a wrong way, it's a fact! But it's like if I said: All girls are Humans, so all Humans are girls! All fujoshi are otakus (true) / all otaku girls are fujoshi (wrong). Most of the otaku girls don't even know boy's love! Even otaku, in Japan the world has a very bad meaning. In Japan, only foreigners said that there are otakus! It's used for very hardcore fan of something (not only manga/anime/game but everything like trains (ie: Kuragehime or Tetsuko no Tabi)). Outside Japan it's used simply as "manga/anime/game lover". phoenixalia said: I know! Ecchi only is not (not always) enough to sell well (the one you named where exceptionally bad? ^^), but it was not my point! I said that for a fujoshi (boy's love fan, = like man/man romance/love/sex...) shounen ecchi are not at all interesting (of course, main chara is an useless guy and other chara are moe/loli/big boobs/tsundere... girls). Most of the reverse harem (like Hiiro no Kakera) are not so interesting neither because all the guys are interested by the main girls (of course it's the main point of reverse harem!) even if it would be more interesting (again from a fujoshi point of view) to see them playing together, preferably without clothes! But the shounen anime (sports, fight, adventure, action... like One Piece, Bleach, Kuroko no Basket, Toriko, Tiger & Bunny...) who have a lot of men friends/enemy are more interesting! It's easy to find a man/man couple who suits your own taste (ie: all the BL doujinshi from those kind of series)Secondly, you'd be surprised how many shows with soo many ecchi parts *cough*oniichan to koto, ben to, papa kiki*cough* and more but I've forgotten now but they have ecchi but don't sell well either. XD I know, confusing. XD phoenixalia said: I don't like this series enough (yet?) to buy it! But I buy the series I like as much as I can! Right now I'm waiting for the Wild Adapter OVA and the 4th Saiyuki Gaiden OVA also! also, will you spread the word? For this season the one I really would like to buy are: Sakamichi no Apollon, Tsuritama, Uchuu Kyoudai (and Kimi to Boku 2). Hiiro no Kakera is definitely not yet in my top wanted DVD. If it's licensed in France I will probably buy it since it's much more cheaper than in Japan! But I will probably be more interested by the game because I can chose my guy ^_~ |

| The fight was pretty nice, the way they worked together was great. Still got their asses whooped though. =/ Looks like there's a 3rd party involved. |
 |
| This episode was better then episodes 1-3 fight scenes were much better also so that is good I wonder how they are going to stop them when the bad guys were just testing them and then they got there butts kicked like no problem |
 |
| *a group of strangers appears and attacks the guardians* *they then flee, in the same direction, together, just as they came* ... Guardians and MC: "........Could those strangers have been affiliated?????" XD |
