| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hinako looks graceful this episode but I gotta say, Airi looks more shy ha with the 'belly button incident' Action was okay I guess this episode. I mean, gotta save the world. Kinda nice to see some of the days outlined this episode. Not much time left though with the 5th Septentrion. ;.; Badass Shiva: |

| I reaaaaally hope that Makoto is full of BS and that Io doesn't die. It's possible for her to survive in the game, so I hope she does in the animation. |

| that floating Alcor gives me a chills a little bit... its just like i saw a ghost wandering/floating in your room...LOL Airi is so cute showing her belly button... i hope Io Nitta won't get killed... xD |
| We see the next Septentrion appear and we get to see some epic Airi and Hinako action!! All of Sapporo was destroyed! Yamato's colors show even more... 2 more days to (possibly) live! |
| Well let's see. I like Alcor, something about him clicks. Yamato may be a douche but the way he thinks is not totally a bad thing. Although I totally thought he was gonna kiss Hibiki. Hopefully Makoto is bullshiting Io cause I don't want her to die. |
| You're all idiots, but I'm no different. |

| I was shocked when Ronaldo, Joe,and Otome jst died easily ==' even i think one from them would be save i don't know why xD |
| The tone in the first half of the episode with Alcor I found odd first of all because the world is in a apocalypse and it's inconsistent with the show ever since the Septentrions attacked. Odd doesn't mean bad, just that I wasn't expecting it. Damn JPs lost yet again with Sapporo destroyed? How many casualties have there been in this anime? Cities are being wiped out, supporting cast are slowly whittling away Quite the ultimatum there Yamato... Don't die Nitta! She hasn't done much throughout the show but she doesn't deserve to die like a lamb sacrifice |
| Imo the best episode so far. I actually liked that the battle was rushed in favour of the other scenes with interesting dialogue. Nice cliffhanger, though I don't really care what will happen to Nitta (or anyone except Hibiki, Yamato and Alcor). |
| I really hope that Io will survive the ritual even though given her current state of mind, it's very unlikely to happen. I don't know why but I have a feeling they're following Alcor's route. |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion :) |
 |
| Alcor is a fun guy to talk with XD Really liked him here. Airi belly Button! Kawaiii >_< <3 XD Yamato is still BA! Love his cold attitude :) Time for drama since Io shall be sacrificed :P |

| Alcor floating and then trying to walk in the first half really made me laugh. Damn, that last line, now I can't wait for the next episode to see whether Io dies or not! I hope she doesn't though. |
CallMeIshmael said: Maybe someone who's played the game can answer this. Why do Hibiki and many others seem to view Yamato as such a villian? I mean, his core ideal - that the competent should rule - is something pretty much everyone agrees with, if not in words at least in practice (You don't see many people arguing for doctors and engineers should be chosen democratically). (I'm also assuming that his willingness to sacrifice *many* people is basically pragmatic, if somewhat cruel) In game, Hibiki & Others didn't do that [except Ronaldo]. Yamato was good enough and he smirks a lot. Even he had an stupid idealism............ If you take Yamato route. and ya had a bad ending lol. xD |
| No OP , no ED. This ep was great , wish they will keep up this pace and thish show might get a 9 from me. |
 |
| Good episode. Let's all hope that Io won't have to die. |
 |
| No OP, though interesting conversation until those two appears (lol). Asumi-san's character and that character that almost died in Kyoto pairs up, who are suitable for fighting the enemy this time to Sapporo. Long range attack... Even though core is dead fast, the corpse doesn't just get disappear and is destroyed the city with the people! How the true intention is revealed is ... so two more days? How fast that girl's going to be sacrificed! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Lmao Yamato wants to create some N.W.O stuff, control the world and shiz, gl with that. Really hope Nitta survives. |
 |
| I really liked this episode! While I love action, it was nice to slow things down so we could get more information. On a side note, Alcor is really beginning to grow on me! |
| Alcor seems like a fun guy to have around. Yamato's plan is finally revealed and it doesn't look like anybody approves of it. I am not sure, but I remembered the summoning of Shiva and Kama to be a lot funnier in the game, especially Airi's reaction. I just hope they can avoid Io's death clip in the next episode. |

(I'm also assuming that his willingness to sacrifice *many* people is basically pragmatic, if somewhat cruel) In his world, the weak gets discriminated against. So, basically if you don't contribute to society, you will get picked on. Basically its like survival of the fittest. Ronaldo wants to stop it and instead create a world of equality rather than a merit society. |

WingsOfValor said: Alcor seems like a fun guy to have around. I'm liking him more and more! I really liked the tone in the beginning with Hibiki and Aclor's conversation. It was quite interesting. He and Hibiki do seem to get a long pretty well X) especially when Hibiki was trying to explain to Daichi and Io that that Alcor is not a bad guy. I also found the part where Alcor was trying to walk pretty funny. Aside from that, the summoning of the two demons was pretty cool, but really brief so feels kind of anti-climatic? And wtf did Makoto just say to Io? Doesn't matter if Io will die or not, you can't just say that kind of shit. That dinner was awkward btw. |
| Basically, Rolando's communist ideal versus Yamato's Capitalist ideal. None of it matter if they can't beat Polaris or whatever is final boss. I can't believe everyone is avoiding Hibiki's sexual orientation like the elephant in the room. After this episode, it is pretty dam clear. |
| Awesome episode, no "important" deaths for a change. Cant wait for next week, hopefully Nitta wont die. |
| I... I don't mind if Hibiki and Yamato kiss... XD ... Anyway, well, that was quite quick! Kama and Shiva already summoned (does that mean Hinako and Airi got them as their demons?) and Alioth is down with one swooop!! Kinda disappointing since there were no conversation between them... I like how Hinako and Airi interact. :) Onward to tomorrow (and the most annoying Septentriones) ! |

| D: killing Alioth was too quick. Lol Io's going to die next ep? pffft please, if that happened, whats going to happen to Hibiki? despair maybe .___. Whats the path hes going to take then!? god dammit! -tableflips- |
| Why didn't they explain about Shiva and Kama summoning? It will be more interesting if people know they are actually reenacting a myth. Oh well, the talk with Alcor at the beginning was quite interesting. Not enough to make up for the lack of interaction with him for the past few episodes though. I wonder if Nitta will die or not, she didn't die in my play through but things can always change. |
 |
| This episode feels like bromance lol HibikixAlcor or HibikixYamato Who will you choose? xD |
| Is just me, or there is a similarity between the angel of N.G.Evangelion and the septentrions. I mean, leaving Alcor aside, all the septentions powers and "abilities" seem very similar to those of the Angels in Evangelion--- |
| It's sad that they cut out all the fun stuffs in the game and replace it with more emo moments D: And they yaoi's feel in this place is strong. |

(I'm also assuming that his willingness to sacrifice *many* people is basically pragmatic, if somewhat cruel) I haven't played the game, but anime-Yamato doesn't seem to view these actions as sacrifices but rather collateral damage. A sacrifice is giving up something you value, whether it be your possessions, your life, or the lives of others (if you value human life.) In Yamato's worldview, the competent (read: exceptional and gifted) will dominate and the weak either keep up or perish. As he said, he never once considered this a burden. This is neither the system we have now, nor the system that people pretty much agree with. Humans do not cull the weak. Our major advances in technology have made it easier for the weakest among us to survive and multiply. One does not need to be especially talented to live a long and full life; one does not need to exhibit any particular talent to be success. Talent, it needs to be understood, is not skill in this context. A competent doctor is not a talented doctor. Yamato's view point is that the truly exceptional people should create the world to their own standards (with himself being the most exceptional person of all) with no regard as to how this new world condemns those not born with talent to live as trash. And that's kind of a problem for most people--because even the gifted and talented amongst us who would benefit greatly from a system like that know and care for plenty of people who would suffer in such a system. |

What made Yamato's action seems harsher this ep is that when Alioth's body fall, in game Sapphoro is already deserted, which is different from the anime. :/ |

| Yamato is one cold SOB. |
| Alright episode this time |
 |

(I'm also assuming that his willingness to sacrifice *many* people is basically pragmatic, if somewhat cruel) Because he's cold and "cruel". Basically they are stupid, when i was playing the game i remember thinking "why is no one grateful to yamato for saving their asses? they couldn't have done it without him". Hibiki doesn't have a set personality in the game though, so you can choose to agree with him. Other than that only Fumi and Keita (who died in the anime) agreed with Yamato. |
| All I could see was Yamato x Hibiki in this episode. Is it just me or Nitta said "Bakoto-san" instead of "Makoto-san" in the end? |
 |
| This episode is entirely good, but the action is just too little... We need more action than talk eheheh. Besides that, this is like a episode full of fanservice? It's like Hibiki, Alcor, & Yamato are homos when they are not doing so? XD I can't wait to see how it'll turn out! 2 days left~~ (omg I'm growing fond of Kuze Hibiki--) |
