Anyone else thinking the protag is acting a bit too non-chalant with all these dead people everywhere? I think I'd be a bit freaked out, even if they are now metal instead of a regular corpse.
It's very unusual, but there are people for who death of others outside their "circle" is basically irrelevant, though the means of death can be a source of interest. This story it seems to me is trying to paint Yoshino as that type. He's also obsessed with Aika's death just as Mahiro is, but unlike Mahiro you can't predict what he's going to do when faced with a threat - one minute he may run and the next he may demonstrate that he can drop you off a building onto your head, or not, at his whim.

decent fight in this week, good background music, cool new interesting spear guy, and funny government lady....all good things about this episode.

but it's pretty messed up that mahiro's sister and the main character do things behind his back. his own family, and his own best friend. don't even tell him.

Ah, I did have this hunch that it's got something to do with him being with Mahiro but was not quite sure and felt that perhaps I was missing out on something. Thanks.

You'll understand them later, those are quite important, or at least represent something imoortant. Someone already mentioned that here.... Anyway manga is a lot better, but anime isn't bad, only problem I see is that many people may be disappointed.

Exactly... Only Aika matters but basically everybody dead-metalized out there... They're nothing big .........
Yeah, quotes from Hamlet... out of place too.

I suppose someone will come and lecture me about how I'm totally wrong about these things and it makes sense if you only twist it the way you want it to be.

dude chill the fuck out, i asked a question cause you were being to vague, quit getting so defensive, this isnt youtube, not every conversation is a argument.

edit: holy shit you started a whole fight to the death over opinions above? jesus christ dude you really need to chill out more than i was anticipating. You just get dumped or something? why the hell you taking everything out on other people over such petty subjects


I'm actually damaged by more agressive forums. The type of forums full of trolls and flaming where your every post is a potential target for some idiot where you try to defend yourself in advance because you know whats coming. So sorry if it appeared to be like this, both in offensive wording and agression. If you look at my postcount I'm actually pretty new to this forum and totally not used to normal conversation. It's a process that just started. I hope it gets better soon. This is actually a pretty nice forum.
well try to adjust, i spent alot of time on this awful forum for game trailers where you are basically surrounded by the most annoying, defensive and downright uneducated individuals that need to take everything like a fight, so i understand what you mean, this place isnt devoid of arguments over opinions or typical immaturity but its not as rampant as GT for example

For everybody that hates/dislikes/mehs this anime: I strongly yet kindly recommend either reading the manga or sticking to the anime for a bit more. Or both. The story has it flaws, but it reaches pretty high levels of awesome soon.

One thing I fear is an anime original ending. Anyway, sticking to the manga still, since M>A every time for me. With a few exceptions (my favorite list).

Also the ED reminded me of CLANNAD ~After Story~ ED - in how much it doesn't seem to fit anything else. The OP is awesome though.

This was somewhat interesting. I don't find the overall "end of the world" story to be interesting, but I'm intrigued about the characters. I anticipate some fight when the main guy tells the other he was going out with his sister.

Well, to much to say about this episode. Nothing really happened. I hope they make this fight even better than the manga, as it was short-lived. I found out that I'm a lot like Yoshino, seemingly weak body, kind outer look, while being deadly with his mind and tatics. I noticed I also had a bit of Mashiro, as... I'm a mad man. :)

I have to say, I love the animation, character design and OP/ED. So good. Every character is super attractive and pleasing to the eye. MC is hot. Aika and Hime are pretty.

Anyways, I enjoyed this episode. 4.5/5 :3
A bit confusing with the "fruits" and "civilization" stuff, but it's cool.

They are necessary.
As you can see, Aika is the dead King Hamlet and Mahiro is the Prince Hamlet who seeks revenge. In the future episodes, we'll see what role does Yoshino and Hakaze takes for.

What are you time is out of joint talking about?

Haha I sort of agree, but later you'll see that this line really is relevant to the story.

I actually don't remember the manga using the quotes from Hamlet as much as this episode did, but I guess the manga used it more sparingly with more flowing dialogue, which kind of makes it less noticeable. >.>

Your post made me realize that maybe I was confused by the manga because I didn't know about the parallels to the play that was being quoted. This is one of my many WhyDidn'tIThinkOfThat moments. =/

I'm still intrigued by the mystery surrounding Akia's death. Along with Yoshino's parents, why'd he call his mom? I'm not sure why but it bothers me. I could kinda care less about the mages, but when Mahiro & Yoshino were using magic it looked pretty cool.

The ED is uh... different, that's for sure. Textbook example of mood dissonance right there.

I still don't think Aika's dead. Actually, she's definitely not. She's too important of a character. And the Shakespeare stuff is getting kinda corny. They literally just find some random place to spit it out. I sure wouldn't be quoting Shakespeare if I'm in the middle of a fight. Great episode though, it just gets me more and more interested (unlike K's 2nd episode). Can't wait to find out the real deal behind the whole Aika thing.

It will... I guess anime will end where first part of manga ended and then they will wait for more manga chapters and make season 2... That's why I said many people might end up disappointed by anime, especially if they haven't read manga...

@QwaserRailgun

It's not that much about the Hamlet... You read manga and you know why it is the most quoted... It has some relations to that play, but there is one more play involved later... :D Also in manga those quotes are far more fitting although even there sometimes it sounds empty xD I love Shakespeare and his plays xD

I am glad to hear there are plenty of chapters out in Japan, that probably means we will get season 2 soon after this one is over, and considering that most people like this one :)

Glad i`m not the only one whose caught onto that.
After hearing that, I hope the "mystery portion" of the plot is not dragged out too much, and that we can at least get some leads as to he/she is by the end of the first series :)
