The anime made things a bit more confusing but I will explain how the manga dealed with this:
- Hakaze goes to halt the Tree of Genesis revival while healing Yoshino (last scene of episode 12) and Samon stays while he heals Mahiro

- Timeskip one month later with Hanemura introduction (end of episode 13). The scene is a bit longer in the manga with his friend saying how everything changed after the Tree of Genesis appeared and that these days there's been circulating the rumor of the Mage of Exodus who will save the world. Hanemura's friend also thinks that Hanemura's girlfriend dumped him isn't strange because Hanemura is an unreliable freelancer.

- Then we see Mahiro's dream
A flashback of him and Aika. Aika is eating corn while Mahiro comments how unattractive she is. She responds him that what is he expecting of his younger sister and offers him to taste the corn. Mahiro asks her where did she get the corn and Aika replies saying that someone who doesn't require sexiness or class from her gave it to her.

- Mahiro wakes up screaming that he's sure that her boyfriend gave it to her and he should have investigated during that time. Samon appears.

In the manga Samon is not the one who asks Mahiro to kill Yoshino, it's another character who is with Samon but will not say more because judging from the preview next episode will elaborate on everything about that.

Half episode - recap
Other half episode feels like Gainax dropped by and shat all over the place.

It was actually a well made recap episode but after waiting more than normal is natural people will get disappointed.

Btw for some reason i got annoyed by the voice of the new guy and his whole presence.

Like the scene that showed us how he found her dead.

The ED song unfortunately sound worst to me. the previous was better.

the recap wasn't bothering me. of course i understand that some people complain about it because the recap was ~ 14 minutes long, but this anime can be really confusing, so in my opinion it wasn't that bad.

but as i sad - this anime can be really confusing and that's what's bothering me a bit. i was confused because of all the time leaps and then suddenly a little mahiro and yoshino appeared and well, i was just confused.

and actually i thought that maybe aika will end up as the mage... would have been interesting.

Maybe I could swallow the recap (being half of the entire episode) much easily because I came watching 5 episodes prior to this one and didn't really need to wait for two weeks unlike many of you here, but I have to say, episode 7 was probably the worst point to put the anime on hold because after that, it simply got so much better!

The more I see this the more it seems that



I am actually really fond of Hakaze now! But, what is this?! She is in love with Yoshino?! I had a feeling that she had already fallen for him when he saved her from the despair in the earlier episode and helping her find a way to get out of the prison of time. The way she said she wanted to thank him properly gave it away!

More romance is always welcome. I still hope the anime ends with a happy ending. After all, it has been indirectly hinted as soon as Tempest was mentioned!

Bumped my rating to a 9/10 from 7/10 after watching the last 5.5 full and 0.5 recap in one go!

So, how many dreams within dreams was that? 8? 9?

Either way, as far as recaps go, it was okay, but a lot worse than a proper episode.

I found the recap necessary as the show is heavy on information and twists from lift to right that I even forgot some moments of the show

Time to start the 2nd half , hopefully it won't end in a tragedy D;

For those who skipped the re-cap, it was 14 minutes only, the rest was canon (10 minutes), Yoshino explained how the world is like now after Mahiro slept for a month in the beginning of the 10 minutes.

A pretty well-made re-cap. I found the re-cap necessary because of all the mind-fuck in the recent episodes (helps for those with a short attention span). For me the info I got from the previous episodes were all over the place so this episode was good for organizing them, and I guess that was the point of it.

The episode over-all was great, this show keeps catching my interest even when I'm not really liking some things it it, which is actually a pretty good thing, because it's a really well made series, unlike some other over-hyped and overrated shit I'm watching.

About the new guy, his voice is a voice I started hating recently, so I'm hoping he won't be getting on my nerves like he's doing with Alibaba in Magi.

It was an okay re-cap. I liked how they kept showing the young versions of Mahiro and Yoshino though. Samon appearing at the end with Mahiro, at least that's something new. Yuki Kaji voicing Megumu Hanemura seems pretty good imo.

The preview for the next episode is soooooo misleading haha. xD

The re-cap was rather done nicely actually with the cute (younger) Mahiro and Yoshino included in some scenes as the story was told. Some scenes were told in detailed that might have bored me (as we viewers already know/understand them) but I think they were necessary so for viewers to avoid any misconceptions/misunderstandings how the story has gone so far and before the second half starts.

I am the only one finding Samon hot with his hair tied and in black polo upon entering the door? ^_^

I didn't find the recap necessary, but overall I liked how they pulled it off. The idea of Yoshino and Mahiro going head to head is crazy exciting. Hopefully this latter half will be more action-packed and less constant talking.

I hate recaps, but at least they did the stuff from a different perspective. Only the stuff after the ending was really interesting like the series usually is. Next episode should be a proper episode again.

Damn, Kiritsugu != Samon.
Doesn't suit the character at all. Maybe Yoshino would be better ... but he is too young =\

Recap =\

Everything makes so little sense ...

Ah, almost forgot.

What the Hell did i just marathoned 1-13? What is this crazy mix of umineko/akagi (Washizu-battle deja vu)/illegal author drugs?

Watchable and somewhat enjoyable nonetheless.

It is his first appearance in the anime but Japanese anime magazines revealed his design and seiyuu for at least a month ago. The official website in New Year's added him in the character section, where it stated that he claims to be the Magician of Exodus and that his girlfriend dumped him.

Recap, but I didn't suffer a long hiatus like the rest of you, haha.

So the mage of Exodus is not even a princess at all but just some unmotivated guy in a low paying job. Heh.

Hakaze fell in love with Yoshino? Guess that was to be expected. Masterminds always get the girls.

Mostly a recap, and I'm glad that it went rather quick and we got some new material near the end. What's this about killing Yoshino? This is getting interesting, and so, there is a mage of exodus...that's intriguing...did he have something to do with killing Aika? It would certainly makes sense, but he doesn't seem like the type that would do that.

Recap episode.

So this is how the world works now with the Tree of Genesis around. Spooky.

So that's the Mage of Exodus...and he just revealed his identity so nonchalantly. But the real question is whether he killed Aika or not.

The next episode is what i've been waiting for!!! Yoshino x Hakaze!

So the tree's killed 2 billion people. Woah. At least it didn't destroy the whole world though. Just correcting all the bad stuff. But it also killed a lot of innocent people lol.

"Could you kill Yoshino?" He could be the Mage of Exodus? But the new guy at the end also claims he's probably the Mage of Exodus..

Hakaze has a crush on Yoshino? I ship it 😁
