| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That is one ugly bastard on that train ;o http://i.imgur.com/LiT6YJA.png Well shit got real this episode. Poor..Akihito. I admire his guts though. All dat feel this episode ;.; |
 |
| lol @ that ringtone. Such a cute voice from Minorin! Arguing while escaping lol. The youmu this time is good at being another person or possessing someone. The main guy got possessed, so she had to pierce him, who needs purification later. Though hug is the power. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| This episode was amazing. Great action. I'm really liking Mirai as a character after this episode. She was awesome in the fights. Akihito's youmu form was freaking crazy and destructive. |
| It wasn't Akihito's day was it? Oh lol the writing... |
| Whoa. Aki is such a beast. Damn. And I was disappointed that Mirai only got a 200-yen worth youmu. Totally love this action packed episode. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The youmu transformation was pretty beast, but I rolled my eyes when the power of the hug transformed him back to normal. The show's really generic but still, liking it. I hope megane-girl and youmu-boy get together soon, instead of dragging it out for the entire show. |
 |
| so basically that was the price for the society to leave them alone... |
| That was epic! Oh man Hiroomi's ring tone LOL. |
 |
| Best episode so far. Liked the action and Aki's transformation was pretty sweet. So who was the chick that stole the hollow shadow's stone? Was that the teacher? Looks like she is double crossing the Society for some old wheelchair bound geezer. Anyway, I am actually liking the series quite a bit. Can't wait to see more. |
| Damn that was pretty epic! Loved the action scene animation. Was brilliant as usual. Akihito's Youmu half is pretty Damn cool ^^...Loved the eyes. And seems to be friggin OP too. Defeating those 3 like that O_o? Really interested to know his past now. The scene Mirai jumped at him and hugged him was nice too <3 Loving those 2s interactions esp when they were running the endless escalator XD Also nice seeing Mirai find out Akihito is like her too. Dat explosion > Dat Rain of Blood hehe But both are dangerous for sure. The Mitsuki Kyoudai are awesome too. Dat Ringtone. The dream of every Siscon hahaha. Let's see where this goes from here. |
 |
| A roller coaster ride through the episode. Akihito hero... Plot development next. Pknoctis said: The youmu transformation was pretty beast, but I rolled my eyes when the power of the hug transformed him back to normal. Hmm, probably her blood hurts him (as the youmu) |

Pknoctis said: The youmu transformation was pretty beast, but I rolled my eyes when the power of the hug transformed him back to to normal. Seriously right, right when he woke up his youmu side and Mirai was shocked about it, I knew the only way they would get out of this is if Mirai hugged him...honestly not even sure how they helped since he wasn't even conscious at all when he turned back to normal. But yeah, awesome visuals, the whole fight with the fake hollow shadow was kind of trippy in a way, I liked it. Also, it was sad when Akihito woke up and saw all the damage he had done. Big difference between him and Mirai is that he doesn't let his situation bother him all the time and doesn't wallow in self-pity. I'm glad that Mirai understands now though that he does understand :) edit: apparently it was the real one, I missed the very beginning of the epilogue for some reason |

| Watched it on 720p, visually orgasmic! 5/5! |
| Dat feel when an Anime hits you inside. |
| oh my god that youmu form was amazing, the power of hug prevails all! |
| Fantastic visuals once again, but the power of hug is really offsetting the general improvement of this episode over the previous few. Edit: Nevermind about the hug, watching it again, it's her blood that did the trick. Didn't pay enough attention to the scene originally. |

| Fantastic episode IMO. Really liked when he asked her if he still looks human. That moment felt really memorable to me. |
| Woo another awesome episode. The hug might have been a bit ehh but still it doesn't take away from the awesomeness that ensued leading up to it. |
 |
| ~power of love~ saved the day lol but this episode definitely was more enjoyable than the previous ones, the action scenes were awesome. one thing i didn't understand though, when that huge yui appeared, was that also a projection of mirais dreams? or did sakura somehow influence that |
 |
| Halfway through the end of the episode was amazing. That transformation and ost though. |
| So many people apparently missed that when Mirai hugged Akihito her ring was off and she was still bleeding everywhere. It wasn't the hug that corroded the youmu away, it was her blood. |
Meddigo said: So many people apparently missed that when Mirai hugged Akihito her ring was off and she was still bleeding everywhere. It wasn't the hug that corroded the youmu away, it was her blood. Let's be honest, it looked like a normal hug, even with apparent flesh burning sounds. As for the episode, it was good, but I just can't stand when there's someone else getting praised for doing heroes work, someone who has the works of another. I stopped watching Californication because of that for heck sake! Why does every show in the entire fracking world uses that as plot mover? Annoying. Anyway, he seems like an immortal Ichigo or immortal Naruto to me. Someone with hidden OP power that's unstable for now. |
| One kind of not shitty episode and this instantly jumps into top seller position for this season. Absolutely and utterly disgusting. And people like symbv still claim there isn't a contingent that won't always support Kyoani no matter how mediocre their shows are. Sigh.....such a joke. |

Let's be honest, despite looking like a normal hug the apparent flesh burning sounds made it blatantly obvious it wasn't just a normal hug, or "love hug" for that matter. Like Meddigo said, it was her blood, not the hug itself. Surprised a lot of people didn't notice this and are throwing their arms up going "yay powur of love!!11". Anyway, on topic. Dat youmu transformation was epic. I sure hope Sakura won't pop up every other episode attempting to kill Mirai because that'll get boring real fast. I'm glad that there's now a sense of connection and understanding between Akihito and Mirai since Mirai now understands that they aren't that different from each other. So, Izumi stole the Hollow Shadow huh? That pisses me off, Mirai and Akihito worked their butts off for that! I'm also wondering what she's up to with that wheelchair guy. Good episode overall, berserk Akihito made the episode. Looking forward to next week. |

So either this episode did something right, or there's some 2ch preorder trolling going on. |
| That was a pretty sweet episode. Might not have been a good idea to let a 4-year-old watch it though. lol (Adventures in babysitting) |

I'm pretty sure every time Kyoani has a sort of climactic episode with whatever mediocre show they put out the pre-orders always soar. We'll see though, if this ends up being the top selling show of the season I wouldn't be surprised. It'd be a total joke and an insult, but it would not surprise me in the slightest. Such a joke..... |

You're too sensitive about anything related to KyoAni Just see how many days the rank can hold the current position and when it actually stays doesn't mean that those fans are 'blind' fans just because in general you don't like anime produced by KyoAni |
| What is this? Evangelion? Haha. But I liked the soundtrack in this ep, and the animation was superb, I enjoyed it, I just have this deep down feeling like this anime is trying too hard sometimes. Still excited for next week's ep though. |
| Magnificent one from the dreamworld to going back out, the action and fights were done with great care |
Snax-chan said: I enjoyed it, I just have this deep down feeling like this anime is trying too hard sometimes. Still excited for next week's ep though. I personally like when something is exerting a lot of effort. The concept of 'trying hard' being put into a negative light by the current generation completely baffles me. |
| Man... Wonder what kind of Yomu is aki's dad Also when he screamed! It remind me so much of attack of the titan! |

| Finally! This is the execution and content I was expecting when I first saw the PV to this series. I'm really glad they didn't throw in stupid jokes or moe moments in this episode. (other than the first five minutes) Animation was top notch, even more than usual. Really artistic. Mirai did not annoy me for the first time, which is good. Hope the rest of this series can live up to this episode's level. If so, definitely a solid 8 or higher. Also, I love Hiroomi's outfit. |
| nice way of ending the arc, the cliche hug.. nice ep btw.. Mitsuki next week FTW!!! |
 |
| Also, Akihito's youmu hair is so much nicer than his normal hair. :| Wish the character design was like that instead. |

If you can tell me why people have such low standards I'll try to give you a better answer. Anyway this show really does continue to be the most mediocre stuff and I'm still not that impressed by the action. I think it would help if this show had some semblance of pacing and how to establish character and setting. I mean there's not that much going on here yet it still manages to feel kind of convoluted and off somehow. It makes it really hard to get invested in this universe or it's characters yet the show really seems to want me to care by how it goes for that prototypical big melodramatic Kyoani style scene at the end of the episode. Also totally called the whole "I rescued you cause you were a beautiful bespectacled" line followed by Mirai pouting. ? You know don't establish any reason for him to genuinely care about the girl or her well-being by you know having real chemistry between the two, just keep using that same lame gag over and over and over again as a reason for everything that happens in this show and before people have time to think about it move on to an action scene that lasts 3 minutes. They also spent all that time hyping up the hollow as this big bad that was way out of the Spirit World Warriors league and then the battle is over like it's nothing only for the Hollow Shadow to come out of nowhere and possess Akihito who Mirai NOW has trouble working up the courage to stab even though it was no problem all those times she apparently did it off screen in the first episode when it wasn't a matter of life and death cause we need our half-baked melodrama now. Again a few minutes later and the hollow is kaput. Some elite monster that was eh? The scene after that with Mirai saving the day by hugging a suddenly berserked Akihito (also poorly explained exactly why he went berserk in spite of the whole half-blood youma thing) goes without saying as a fittingly cliche and trite way to end an episode like this. Anyway seriously this show utterly BLOWS so bad at establishing consistency and a reason for the viewer to give a damn beyond just pretty visuals it's insulting. It's just a collection of short scenes stitched together by bad humor, the odd kind of glitzy/edgy action sequence (It's raining Blooooooooooooood!), one liners and the now episodic pity party for Mirai. Seriously though am I missing something about these action scenes? I mean they're alright but I'm by no means losing my mind over them as they're so contextually nonsensical and just sort of there it's hard to get all that excited about them. If it weren't for the likes of Guilty Crown (which this show is really starting to remind me of in how things just sort of seem to happen with little consistency between episodes or even scenes and where the writer tries so hard to make the cast seem edgy and cool that they forget the part about them having chemistry and being actually interesting) and that everything Kyoani always sells I would never believe this mess is probably going to be a top selling show of the season if not the top seller. As it stands after 4 episodes I feel no closer to understanding or caring about this world and it's characters than I did at the start of the show, but hey none of that matters in the long run as long as dear Kyoani makes the show looks pretty right folks?

Translation: An anime character hugged a girl and I'm single. Time to get on the internet and boycott it. As a mal poster who probably masterbates over Lain and Psycho Pass I can't believe you have the audacity to insult a show for being contrived. BTW genius, if people were only buying the show because of Kyo Ani they would have pre ordered before Episode 4. The fact that they waited for "a single decent episode" means they care about the quality. My god its like you have 0 common sense. |
| Nice to see Japan is continuing to have good taste and understanding of genres. Apparently only losers in the West watch shows from genres they dont like, then log onto websites where nobody likes them to cry about them. If you don't like Kyo Ani stop being that guy in the threads of all of their shows crying. If you don't like something and you watch it anyway you are a moron. |

No...please stop talking now unless it's something that isn't fanboy nonsense. Anyway did anyone else that actually cares about these things notice that Sakura seemed to disappear from the plot after that line about Mirai's blood? Seriously I'm going back and trying to find her in the episode again after that point and she literally just disappears after that scene for the fight between Mirai and what I guess was the fake Hollow and the scene after. Was she supposed actually be the Hollow? It's never explained really cause she just vanishes and nobody questions it. It's like the show just gave up on furthering that plot point when it looked like it was going to delve a little deeper into Mirai's backstory and maybe flesh out her character for the audience in a way that just goes beyond the bespectacled spirit world warrior bit. Oh well just another inconsistency to add to a show that's pretty bad with that sort of thing already.

I actually do like Dark Fantasy, this is just a really shitty haphazard example of it so far with lackluster character development and a poor sense of pacing and what ought to be important in establishing an interesting setting for a story of this genre to take place in. It's not my fault for having standards that aren't really being met right now. Mod Edit: Quote tower put into spoiler tag. |
