THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ashiya talks to Tamaki, Baba- sama and the guys and says that he and the Bureau of Medicine wants to help Tamaki and crew protect the rest of the artifacts. Ashiya says the Bureau of Medicine knows why Logos isnt persistently going after the artifacts(maybe they know about the Drei issue that was covered in the last ep).

Ashiya asks if he and the Bureau of Medicine could help and Baba sama say that it was Tamaki's decision. Tamaki says yes. Mahiro and Takuma are enraged.

Tamaki and the guys have lunch. They all decide to look for more information.

Mahiro, Takuma, and Tamaki go to the old library? Tamaki hears those voices she heard in her dream. She yells at them and is taken over by some spirit. Tamaki starts ranting on about a prophecy. "If the sword return, it'll cleave both heaven and earth, and all will be plunged into darkness." I think the prophecy is kinda cliche.

Mahiro says that his generation and Logos have been fighting for a long time and they have been winning against Logos until now because the barrier is constantly getting weak.

Another argument between Tamaki and Mahiro. Again Tamaki is insensitive to Mahiro, ect.

At the end, there is nice a pic of Suguru's mom? I wonder if that has anything to do with upcoming episodes.

Shinji meeting with the teacher who is most likely the same person as Vier hinting Shinji is possibly a double agent not to mention Ryou saying Shinji has a "bad smell".

Hopefully Ryou will do more than just sniff characters and play with Tamayuri-hime. I love seeing her get flustered when it happens. She needs to spend more time with Mahiro and Takuma or else, I fear she can never recover the friendship.

Best part still continues to be the post credits stuff. kind of cheesy but nice.

Well, looks like another dialogue heavy episode but after the ending, it seems that Drei and the others are starting to make their moves again.

Not much else to say on this episode.

The reason for gov. to cooperate and he wants to use the chance of enemy having argument of their own. Even if the guardians are suspicious of him, they have to protect Tamaki.

Tamaki seeing kouhai with the pretty teacher, and the weird guy protected Tamaki from him finding out.

Tamaki trying to cheer everyone up.

The voices led her to find a spot that Tamaki became another person. Legend of Tamayori hime. About the sword that brings misfortune to the world? Short sempai knows about something about it. Enemy was just investigating in the past, but not this time. Guardians doubting about the battle.

Long hair guardian with young green hair woman's photo...

Wow, even if someone wanting to fight, it's against the order, then the girl is going to kill that member??

So a lil of background story but sadly not a lot of action this episode it seems.

-Start-

So bureau of medicine want to help with the seal but its up to Tamaki a s Baba- sama. Sigh to be honest i would live that decision to her. (Tamaki reminds be of Bella in twilight she never does anything and is always with that look that she is somewhere else lol)


bureau of medicine guy Ashiya how dare you call Yuuichi and Takuma monsters >:( you are just jealous.

So Tamaki has decided to accept the proposal.

Uhhhh Shinji and fIona hmmmm what going on there lol

:O Ryou finally shown up woohoooo. Hahhaa Ryou always going around smelling people lol and saying Shinji smells bad but of course he does when Fiona touch him she left her scent on him and she is part of the Logos. I cant believe they havent figure that out yet.


I understand the way Mahiro feels, he just feels like he is just a tool which in a sence sadly he is but he is a person and want to do something but i know he feels that Tamaki is not really doing her job and i agree being all cheerful isnt going to help personally she hasnt done anything to get her powers. Every one knows that but she is the princess so what can they do, bah.

Finally something happen. So we get a the background on the legend/story of the Tamayori princess.


So if the sword returns everything will be plunged into darkness so perhaps they need to find it first so that Tamaki can use it as the princess did.

Some times i get frustrated, when baba-sama was the one guarding teh seals the logos never succeeded intil now that she is geting older so its Tamaki turns put she isnt doing her job so im sorry to me mean about it but i think its all going down hill because of her.

ohh was that Baba-sama picture that Suguru was holding.

-end-

*Drools* Yuuichi soo hot and cute awwwwww he knows what to say to get a girl going. lol its silly but i do love it when they talk to you and the end.

Hopfully next episode gets more action finally, Tamaki will finally get her sh@& together and more air time for Ryou.

.....WE NEED MORE RYOU KUTANI! Honestly, each episode is KILLING me with the limited amount of screen time he gets! At the same time, the shortness makes me want more!

oh damn I can see the yaoi fangirls coming...I mean, that moment was totally hot between Shinji and him! And then he goes all sneaky sneaky and smirky-smirky with Tamaki. Oh Tamaki you lucky girl you.

we need more ryou. why so little of him? D:

Now on to character development:

Shinji: Shinji my man, I saw this coming. Mitsuru how will you react?

Yuucihi: Dude, start unleashing your bishieness like you did in the game! You're being boring so far!

Mahiro: OH YEAH MAHIRO! Go DUDE GO! I could FEEL the angst I could FEEL the drama.

Suguru: I was gonna give you a zero but then the mysterious picture at the end caught me.

Ryou: Darling, you're ALWAYS interesting. you've had more moments with the heroine so far and I love the studio committee for that!

Takuma: You were being pretty..well....not much development? Still, he's the main guy so I presume he'll have REAL HARD development in the future.

Now, game to story:
Anger. Yes. ANGER! The people in japanese blogs are not happy. From what I remember in the game, Takuma was the one who got into a hissy fit, not Mahiro. Am I wrong? Correct me if I'm wrong.

pre orders are only gonna decrease if they change things from the game. what happened deen? handle things the way you did in hakouki!

Story wise:
Ah yes, the drama, the angst. No action but the foreshadowing and the drama made up for it. I have a feeling we're gonna have some action the next episode.

the lawyer-looking guy is really sleazy, i cant trust him at all...

all i can say is wow, mahiro was really being a DICK this episode -.-

and please dont tell me shinji's going to betray tamaki and the guadians. his meeting with the teacher, who could likely be vier from logos group, really brought up ALOT of suspicion... if anything, he could possibly be the one who drie replaced originally...? O.o

but ryou with that catch was pretty badass, and that "bad smell" doesnt look good for shinji either

and the picture of oomi's mom, wonder how that will play into the story

The most interesting part of this episode for sure. Sad that Shinji might be a double crosser.... :/

Oh, and Mahiro needs to chill the f out. What an asshat he was this episode.

I'm seriously wondering how old Atori is now...... that comment about: ".....My Generation...." sounded suspiciously like he's much older than the others.... and would explain his excess anger at being trapped in that place for so long.
I noticed it was worded as "My" not "our".... and said in the past tense. Could be be older than baba-sama or her age?

I thought about this and want to share this. Everyone's going on about Tamaki being useless, useless, useless. Would you be any different?

I mean, she goes to her grandma's and suddenly she's told she's some tamayorihime.

ok, got that. but her grandma doesn't give her a single clue on WHAT to do or HOW to do or ANYTHING. What do you expect a girl who's livedi n the city knowing nearly nothing about her family and past(considering the phone call in the first episode, her mom didn't tell her anything either.

the guardians just tell her to stay put and do nothing, and I mean, how many books are there in that storehouse? can't her grandma tell her you know...TALK with her, tell her the history, of what to expect, any routines to do, SOMETHING? I don't blame Tamaki now. I'd be even more hopeless than she would.

And with the guys going 'what do you know?' I'd say, yeah what DOES she know? With you guys telling her nothing, what do you EXPECT her to do?

I thought the same exact thing. That's why I can't hate Tamaki since she's not getting help from the others. To be honest, I think she's the best female character in the game compared to all the other female characters in this series.

Yeah- I agree, I meant to rant about how she's being treated by viewers also.... but Atori's comment about his generation pushed itself into the forefront of my mind.
If Tamaki had been told about everything when she got there (Clearly laid out in front of her)then I can understand everyone picking on her. It's not like she's the usual useless heroin in a reverse harem situation.
She is actually TRYING to understand things and so far a lot of the people on her side seem to be not helping or to be putting road blocks in her way.
Also no one told her about the logos group before they appeared. She might have been more motivated at the start to research things if she knew that. But no one's told her much.
Most of what she knows now, if from her own research and from her observations of others. If I was in her situation I think I might have put my foot down and yelled at "Grandma" before now to tell me what was going on, and everything that was going on. But that's me. And my personality is different from Tamaki's from what I've seen.

I actually enjoyed this episode more than the others. Lots of drama (always a plus), and the way Mahiro-senpai snapped at Tamaki was totally in place. I'm glad he did it lol
And isn't it about time that green-haired guy (I don't remember what his name is ^^; ) makes a move already? I mean he's obviously going to join their group...

this is what I was saying myself. and being angry that she agreed to get help from the government...what do you EXPECT her to do, you idiots? You were K.Oed worse than anything I've seen, she's trying to HELP you are you go and shout at her.

at least TRAIN or something...would that kill you?

I honestly can't stand the pride of the guardians of Tamayori. Tamaki was right the entire time about her point, but it seems it is always those two, Mahiro and Takuma, who refuse to listen, as usual. I don't know where they get the idea, defeat is the end? That is entirely BS. Every defeat is a lessen, an opportunity to learn about one's weakness. I wonder if those two brats have never been defeated in their whole life, or at least been fighting weak enemies. When facing stronger ones, all they did is whine, whine, and whine. I mean, come on! The guardians were saved by Tamaki, due to her decision about handing away the artifact, or else they would ALL be dead by NOW!! OH! Mahiro has NO RIGHT to talk back to the princess. What the f is that attitude? Didn't he swear to protect her? Then GET STRONGER! I don't understand what is all that yelling about "Oh I am so weak! Its all your fault!" Come on! If you swear to protect someone, at least DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY! How pathetic! Bragging about your weakness publicly is EVEN more pathetic!!

Why is this series moving so slow?! And I have to say this must be the most boring reverse harem anime I have ever seen. I mean, come on! There's absolutely no fan service or whatever the hell others of this genre has that spice things up a bit. The only thing of that sort in this series is of Ryou sniffing Tamaki and he's not even one of the main guys...

And what's with Mahiro and Takuma's drama all of a sudden?!

these bitch-ass boys better lay off our home girl Tamaki.

crying bout how they never had a choice in their destiny and Tamaki can't possibly understand so stop trying to understand..............

meanwhile Tamaki doesn't have a choice in her fate, either. She has to protect the Onikirimaru seal or die trying, JUST LIKE THEM BOYS. only she ain't whining about it.

Not much happened, but I did not like the way Mahiro treated her. She literally just found out her true identity, while they knew their whole lives what their fates were. Yes, it's unfair- but it's still not her fault.
