| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, watching Rei this episode is depressing. She's so lucky to have a friend like Akane imo. The part with the cream was kinda funny. The sleepover part was kinda cute I guess. *pinky swear* The new Alone looks kinda strange imo, kinda shaped like a pinhead. Finally, Akane discovers the truth huh? About damn time, only took lol..10 episodes. |
 |
| Anyway, a good mix of everything in this episode. The Alone always gives an Evangelion vibe lol. Mod edit: removed off-topic |

| 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. |
| Rei finally got caught, and poor Akane, having to find the truth that her friend is her enemy and has caused her trouble through most of the series. |
 |
| Cliche yes, but it still gets me every time when one finds out their friend was really their enemy the whole time. lol at Akane sticking her butt towards Rei in the bath. Bet Rei got a nice view there... |
 |
| Dammm...... Rei gets caught, What An SUPER EPIC EPISODE! So much story crammed into 1 episode lol. I wish the White Beams could be removed but tat was still Super Awesome with Epic Parts. Click Above but you have been warned, Only Lolicons Should click the Spoiler |
| so much naked butts of Rei and Akane this episode and damn that drama heats up too, 2 more episodes to go!!! will humanity be able to pass the test? |
| And so it begins......or ends.... |

| Dam |

You guessed right last week. Anyways that reaction from Rei finding out Akane was "one of them" was unexpected. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Like Akane being in shock of Rei helping the Alones. But then again, that would go against her personality, so I guess this makes sense. 5a-5a said: So I was actually surprised by the way things turned out. It was REI that was upset at AKANE, even though Akane was the one who found out someone who she considered a friend and really liked, was the enemy. Seems more like Akane should be the one feeling betrayed. I actually like that it wasn't what I was expecting though :o plus this ending shows that Rei really was starting to open up to being friends with Akane haha was writing my post and then saw yours. we agree on this totally. Anyways I wouldn't know what to look forward to. The discovery was unexpected so what is going to be the next 2 eps about. them making up? or i guess the engine somehow start making trouble and Rei explaining her situation and her reason for what she has done...or something along the lines... |

Made me feel helpless.Cliche yes, but it still gets me every time when one finds out their friend was really their enemy the whole time. And finally the fanservice I was expecting. What was Akane thinking, showing her behind like that o.o |
| A very well done ep! All the emotions... I did shed some tears during the final confront of Akane and Rei in this ep. All the build up from the entire ep and finally the truth revealed... it's just so sad!! Quite curious to see how will things turn out because there are too many ways to end the series. But one thing is for sure! Magic(it's Science and Technology in this series) and Friendship will save the day! ...hopefully? (edited) Sorry for the spam. I didn't mean to do it. Must be something wrong with my internet connection or something. Trying my best to delete the extra comments I made. Terribly sorry. >< |

| Finally some more Oshiri Operation. Also, it's natural for Rei to feel betrayed instead of Akane. Akane is the kind of person who would her her out first ("she must have a reason, there's no way she would do it without one"), but Rei is more of a loner and thus will think of betrayal much sooner. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Show has gotten so boring, that I just skip to the battles now.. |
 |
| YES I ONLY HAVE TO BARE THROUGH TWO MORE EPISODES! <_< |
| Well... That was, predictable? I don't mind it being cliche, but I don't feel that the plot was executed well enough... It did poor actually, felt very forced. I do feel for Rei, she's a simple enough character, and her circumstances are pitiable. I just don't feel that the execution was there to compliment the scene... Feels like there's too little build up for there to be an impact. Lets see how the last 2 episodes will play out. |

| Was I the only one under the impression prior to this episode that Rei already knew that Akane and co were the ones fighting the Alone? something off-topic: Warning! it may burn your eyes! |
 |
| Dat asssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Stupid censor beam. Well, it was a nice episode. I supposed the next episode will be them extracting information of Rei. |
 |
| Shit just got serious at the end. |

| I don't understand. Why is this Akane's fault? Why's SHE the liar? It should be the other way around, shouldn't it? I find Rei a hypocrite when she calls Akane a liar, because SHE'S humanity's enemy, and SHE was lying all this time. What are the consequences of destroying the Engine again? Something about power cut off throughout the world? Or will it actually destroy the world? Either way, Rei's going to be hurting Akane either way. I just don't get it. I was frustrated at the end, because I felt it was stupid since I was expecting Akane to feel betrayed. I also thought that, all this time, Rei KNEW who was destroying the Alones so I was surprised she didn't know. Sigh, this anime. |

| With this cliff hanger i can pretty much tell how this anime will end hopefully there will still be a few surprises tho. The only dissatisfying thing in this episode where to censors. And on that note who is looking forward to the blue ray? |
Mumble200 said: Man this show is so lame, I love it. Guilty pleasure of the season. It is perfect schlock. It knows exactly what it is and it does it very well. Highly enjoyable and I just laugh my ass off all the time at how blatantly unapologetic it is. I really liked the confrontation. The episode built up to it nicely. |

I really thought she got closer to them with the knowledge of who they were. Looking back at it, I guess there wasn't really any proof huh. Oh well. |
| the final part was stupid don't plan peoples for lies when you lies and plan to destroy the world |
 |
| Hahahaha. Akane didn't even have the time to get a hold of the situation XD |
 |
| Oh done been caught now! As to Rei, we don't know why she is doing this. I assume that she might think she's the hero. Hell we don't even know why the alones are attacking as they do. |
Soshintsu said: I am not sure if Rei succeeds it means the destruction of this world. I think you are assuming too much here. And even if this is true (still an IF) I don't think Rei realizes it. To her it is just let Alone get to the Engine and her task is fulfilled.She's been trying to kill Akane the whole time (because she'd obviously die if this world is destroyed), the last time when she was caught. |

| It's not going to win any awards, but at this point the plot is actually surprsingly competent in its writing. Sure the show as a whole is just mindless fun, but I'm geniunely interested in Rei's character. Oh, and the mayonaise scene has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in quite a while |

Indeed. And even if destroying the the engine meant destroying the world, Rei wouldn't know it. Because in the episode Rei said this: " destroying the engine might actually be better for this world." Considering that the world depends on the Manifestor Engine for its energy needs, if it is destroyed many people will certainly suffer (I believe Isshiki mentioned this already), so while it won't actually destroy the world, it would definitely be pretty bad. Also, it seems that manifestor technology has the potential to destroy the planet and even more, which is why the alones came from their dimension to test humanity to see if they are capable of possessing such potentially destructive tech. |
|
| What a predicament. Akane looked visibly hurt by Rei calling her a liar. |
 |
| I jack off to every episode. |
| The last dialogue was so forced. |
| Honestly, I think the basic story line of this show had some potential with the whole morally ambiguous antagonist and the mystery behind the Alones. I find the story interesting, which is why I'm still watching it, but I don't really expect it to be deep. It's just too bad all this turned out to be was loli fanservice, because if it had a different purpose with different characters it might actually have been good. |
Soshintsu said: OK, good reminder at that. So here is my thought about what it means. I wasn't 100% certain when I wrote that, but in episode 5, the crow bluntly says that "This world must face destruction." when it's talking to Rei. She's not even surprised to hear that, so apparently that was part of the deal all along. Bokurano spoiler included so I am spoilering it below: BTW, the Japanese dialogue does not really say "this world must face destruction" - it said "indeed you are unsure... about destroying this world" - but of course in what we discussed it is a moot point, but it does indicate some subtle difference in what the crow actually said in the dialogues. |
