Nice little history background between Mashiro and Yoshino. They look cute imo! Looks like they went through some hard times but best friends forever, right?

Also, more shit goes down and civilization being blasted. Nice action this episode as well.

A most background revealing episode in terms of Mahiro and Yoshino.

About the first part, I find out most shocking in the spoiler
to have seen that the cause of the disease is indeed the big ass monsters that eventually will form into something else.

About the second part, I find Yoshino as a kid in the following,

To be adorable. It’s too bad that shit happened to him when he was younger.

About the fan service, well girls should be happy in the spoiler
for I see some Mahiro ass there and chest too.

While Aika in the following,

Was gorgeous, she still really was slutty in the spoiler
going on a date with Mahiro while I am pretty sure she was with Yoshino at the same time during that date.

Regardless the end turns out more pleasant as bits of enticing revealing of Hakase show up apart from the nice conversation she had with Mahiro/Yoshino. Might edit later.

This show indeed has quite a bit of female-appealing elements put in it ;-)
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Hey Aika and Mahiro are related (they really are right?) so it shouldn't matter i believe? I dont think they had more than sibling relationship

Personally loved this episode. Nice to know how they got together. So Yoshino is quite a genius since childhood. Making Mahiro a puppy lover was damn funny :D I think this will be one of my favourites from this season.
I have a feeling that Mahiro has some hidden power..

Is that witchwoman on island same old as those boys ?

Nice backstory pretty well done considering its original from the manga, it was nice they way they developed their meeting, and it seems that next episode will continue to be original instead of following the manga (granted some scenes in the preview were in the manga) but then again this was to be expected from the get go anyway.

Loving this more and more. Can't wait till next week, looks like its going to get pretty exciting

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

somehow it kinda had a depressed atmosphere, the backgroundstory was interesting, though. I'm okay with the "getting friends by an accident" but it's still like yoshino isn't happy with it. Mahiro was more like "What ever, I accept him" but mhm I don't know...
The only thing that amused me was the first half of the episode and the fact that both of them getting this far because they have each other. I guess both accept the friendship like it is?

Lmao smh. Anyways good episode wish I could fast forward to next week.
Also I'm curious if Mahiro's sister will be revived since she's in the opening and ending of the anime.
If so that would really be bad because it would be to cliche I like the story as it is by reviving her the impact of her death wouldn't be as powerful. I just want Ms.Island girl to meet them both and see the reaction when they see her.

they already said death is permanent, it only works for protecting not anything else, if you fail to protect something and that thing is destroyed because of it, there no reversing it.

anyhow nice episode, though something still feels off about these 2, its almost like they really hate eachother deep down

yah cause girls totally dont watch stuff, if theres any sexulization of males then it must totally be for gays, they probably just threw in his ass because for the rest of the series their is a big breasted half naked chick as a main character

When this started, I had the initial impression that this show was trying too hard, with the soundtrack and everything. I was debating dropping it.

The show's grown on me though, and is turning out quite enjoyable. I'm looking forward to this!

And damn, no-homo, but Mahiro's got a great ass!

I wanna see Hakaze get off that island, and travel with them.

Wow, that was an interesting way of meeting each other. I love how they have reciprocal feelings of one another -- that being how they both acknowledge they wouldn't have got so far without each other. It's interesting how each one of them thinks the other person did more for them and visa versa, but in reality, they both contribute equally.

decent background episode. curious to how yoshino meets the sister, and how they decided to go out and to keep it a secret.
also, from where is that pic of them in the aquaruim ?? dont remember that scene, if they showed it already.

I love their background stories. Is it wrong for me to ship Mahiro and Yoshino in a platonic/unplatonic way? Forgive the fujoshi. =.=;; I ship Yoshino and Aika/Hakaze too though They were so awesome back then. And they still are. So there's more action in next week's episode. :D

But she shows a love interest for him while being with another guy. Surely that is slutty at least.

Not when you have bigger reasons to do it


But okay, lets see what happens, they´re changing everything in the anime, so her character might really be a slut in the anime who knows. I like badass sluts so I wont mind much. in the manga she was fucking amazing, that´s all I have to say. Saying more would be a major spoiler.

Hmm, does this episode happen in the manga or is this a Bones original? I'm not reading the manga because I don't want to constantly compare between the two.
Also, it's a pretty subtle episode, very much needed at this point after three weeks of non-stop action. The dialogue is witty, the humor hits the right spot, and the character dynamic is rather rich. There is more and more intrigue building up each week.
5/5, loved it from beginning to end, we have ourselves a show with a lot of potential.

Fine and I myself wish to see the reasoning behind her alluding love yet not in the kind of way I perceive of so far as of this episode.

Yeah I guess that's kind of what I meant. In the manga, the Mahiro's actions seem to imply it, or he's a siscon. And same thing for Aika, or she's a brocon. I want to ship Aika x Yoshino though. U.U
