| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The creature in this episode was kinda weird. That damn Beyond the Boundary. Poor Aki. Well damn, Mirai sure isn't going to easy with this anyways. I can tell she's struggling internally because Aki is her friend so when she fights him, there's that part of guilt coming back. Dat cliffhanger ;.; |
 |
| The siblings finally defeated the youmu. He finally woke up, but as youmu and missing. lol @ his album with grading on the megane girl. She must kill him, though. And that relates to "Kyoukai no Kanata" being shown little part. That cliffhanger to kill him. So he's really dead? |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Aw man it sucks that Mirai has to kill Akihito, but I never noticed how strong Aki is when he is in his youmu form. This "Beyond the Boundary" phenomenon is pretty interesting and the fact that Aki could be a part of it even makes it more interesting, can't wait to see what happens next. Also that's a big megane collection. |
| Using the paper to find him reminds me of one piece. |
 |
| Pff facepalmed at Kuriyamas stupidity, I mean normally you wouldn't trust a random (well, she doesn't know her other than for being her friends sister and stuff (I think)) person with stuff like that? And if she actually kills Akihito... tables will be flipped. |

| your talking about my Last Sentence about her Changing her mind at the last second Discovering that she Actually Loves him and can't bring herself to kill him right? |
 |
| I actually think she will end up killing him...hopefully I'm wrong. But I really think this is it for Akihito. |
| Now that was tense and friggin gloomy as well! Poor Ai :( That was some nice sibling teamwork. Mitsuki worrying about Hiiromi was cute <3 And Dat scarf. Izumi's fighting style is just too EPIC!! Dat Spear wielding!! But she's still hiding lots of stuff. Mirai's using her blood in un-locking the door was pretty creative XD Dat Megane and album collection XD And what was that? Akihito is the/part of "Kyoukai no Kanata"?? I didn't get that part that well. Then what about his father? We still need to know about him. I didn't understand Mirai's resolution to kill him either? It felt like she doesn't want to kill him so why did she go with it? Did Izumi tell her something that changed her mind?? Well the Aki vs Mirai battle was pretty friggin epic! And the last scene with it ending before the stab was a nice cliffhanger. I don't want to believe she killed him unless they explain her reason well. Nxt ep pv...Aki is dead? O_o? Or is it a troll? XD |

| The episode had to end at a good time. I don't think that Akihito will die. |
 |
| Best way to mourn a person's death, swimsuit episode to ease the pain. Kidding. On a serious note, all three battles were pure eye candy, wished it lasted longer, especially Izumi's fight. A good cliffhanger but yeah I don't think they are going to remove him from the equation altogether, too soon. |
| Izumi saved Mirai in the past, so was it a deal or something to kill Aki? Funny how Mirai couldn't kill youmu until now she can be a ruthless killing machine... I like how Onii-chan is really saving Akkey. |
| Wow, that was honestly a great episode. Just like last week's episode, I completely lost track of time. The episodes have just been getting better and better and I really hope the quality stays the same. It's such a shame that a few episodes in the first half were so badly executed. But now it's a lot better. I'm really, really hanging on to the hope that it will keep getting better. I'm actually torn as to whether or not Akkey will die. It looks like it was the plan from the start for Akkey to be killed by Mirai, judging from that flashback with Izumi talking to her. |
| Looks like Mirai planned to kill Akkey from the beginning but became attached to him or something along those lines judging from what Hiromi said. The preview had a euphemism basically saying that Akkey died but maybe it's just a trick. Judging from what I've seen of this anime so far, either he won't die or dies and comes back somehow with something to do with the boundary. Don't think they'll get rid of him entirely. |

In the case that he actually dies (or something along those lines) by the next episode, I think that Hiroomi might try to bring him back somehow. I really want to know what happened between them in the past, although I can assume, I want to know. |
| My God this was a good episode. I think more than anything, it's done a superb job at drawing out the emotions of the characters now that the situation has acquired some serious weight. Fujima Miroku and Nase Izumi are still the trump cards here, but the drama surrounding Mirai and Akihito will likely ride on Mirai's decision at the end. Man, I can't wait for next week. |
| theres no way hes dead..there must be other secret of that frozen barrier like what she did to that girl butler, and mirai agreed to kill akki coz she knows theres other way to keep him alive.. nice cliffy though.. |
 |
| What an episode, poor Mirai. Lol @ his 'megane' collection. |
| Woah, Izumi is badass. Actually, all three of the Nase siblings are badass. I wonder what that guy is planning by taking the Hollow Shadow's youmu stone. Really liking all the action that's been going on in these last couple episodes. The fight between youmu Akihito and Mirai was pretty intense. So anxious to see what happens to Akihito. |

But now it's a lot better. I'm really, really hanging on to the hope that it will keep getting better. Same here. I can't believe how much KnK has improved especially in the last few episodes. The non-stop battle scenes are helpful ofc (and it's so beautiful to watch) but the fact that the story is picking up is the real kicker. Even though the early episodes served character development and Izumi's gradual manipulation of Mirai, to me they feel like filler due to bad execution :/ I don't think Akihito is going to die because lulz just what is the percentage of the main MC dying in any story? If it does goes down that route, however... I will be devastated but pleasantly surprised. |
| Loved this episode.I do think akihito has way too much power(he did say "saikou no youmu"),but that just leaves me wondering just who the hell is his father.I'm also wondering why do some youmu interact with people,while others are just like beasts. I think that mirai thinks that she killed akihito..He will come back though,not the first time something like this happens.Hope he learns to control his youmu-half before the end of the show,or at least that his youmu-half stops behaving like a caveman. Though gotta love how a creature as powerful as he is starts going AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHH after getting stabbed. |
| i know this sounds bad and i have nothing against the main, in fact he's probably one of the better kyo-ani mains (in terms of male characters) in a while, but i hope she kills him. i mean that would take real balls if kyo-ani did this and i know for a fact that we'd all watch. FUCKING AWESOME EPISODE! |
| Sick episode i really like this serires cant wait till next ep |
| Well I certainly know why this is called a "Dark Fantasy" I like it when its heartless, but then again I also like it when they are all together, and laughing and having a good time. I hope those days come back soon. It's getting better! |
| I don't think he'll die, but if he does, this could be more interesting than just a boring unnecessary drama. Even this Akkey youmu doesn't look strong like the last time we saw it |
| A lot can happen since Akkey is said to be a strong half human half youmo. |
 |
| If Akkey really dies my heart will break into a million pieces. |
| How the hell i am supposed to wait for the next week? My heart is dying in pain. |
 |
| He "Kicked the bucket two weeks ago" according to preview, guys. |
 |
| I wouldn't mind if they did kill off Aki. One of my issues with Kyoukai no Kanata is that it has a great concept and it has some intrigue, but the fetishes are extremely absurd and doesn't fit with the narrative. Every time they bring up the little sister and glasses fetishes, I want to punch a wall. Of all the adaptations and what they added/subtracted, I wish they got rid of those fetishes conversation. They add nothing and they aren't even good jokes. |

FUCKING AWESOME EPISODE! I actually think I agree with you. Sure Akihito-kun is a swell guy, but I feel like they kept his character development intentionally short so they could kill him off. What was his school life like before Mirai-chan showed up? What are his hopes and dreams? Why the hell is he so hard for glasses? None of these questions were ever addressed. And even though he and Mirai-chan had some touching character development moments, keep in mind Akihito-kun never even grew out of calling her by her last name, and Mirai-chan never called him anything but 'Senpai'. In Japan, honorifics and these kinds of things are kind of a big deal. Sadly, I think he's toast. And to be honest, I'm even more interested in the coming episodes because of it. |

| Good episode. The best part to me was Izumi vs Miroku. Izumi bad ass. It looks like Mirai decide to kill Akkey. I hope he died. I mean I like Akkey a lot. I just hope he dies and then be brought back by Beyond the Bounty. He come back and can use some of his youmu powers. You know some crazy ass plot twist. Yea that be sick imo. Anyway still heart broken. Akkey was a good kid and to have Mirai kill him was a little sad. Dat PV? Akkey kicks the bucket two weeks ago and everybody just chillin. Can't wait for next episode. |
 |
| Is she really going to kill him?We won't see Akkey anymore?What was with that preview for the next episode? Sh*t so many questions we can ask after this episode.Can't wait for next one :D |
 |
| Yes BladesofTime. We won't see the main character for the duration of the series episodes. That makes complete sense. |

| not bad at all i really hope she did indeed kill him and that PV isn't just trolling and not for the matter of (i dislike Akihito because i don't) just all this build up and then they cop out at the last second would be really disappointing |
 |
| Well, regardless of what happens, I hope that scheming Izumi gets what's coming to her. |
| OMG THE MC IS GOING TO DIE! *joke, no one believes it, cmon KyoAni. Btw, I must admit the cliffhanger was well made, it served its purpose. |
 |
| I doubt anyone is going to die. The bad guy probably isn't even going to die at the end either. |
| Yeah, no. Even if Akihito ends up being dead, KyoAni can’t possibly make the next episode as light hearted as the preview makes it out. That’s just pushing it too far. Anyways, this episode was far better than last week’s episode which doesn’t say much since that episode was a disaster. Completely disjointed. I’d argue this episode was disjointed as well but at least it gave me chills around the last part. I tried hard not to roll my eyes at the constant flashbacks and brooding Mirai had. It’s one thing to have them shown in pivotal moments like these but another to have them a bunch of times in episodes before. It decreases the effect it has during times that matters the most. Which is why I wasn’t moved at all by this episode. And that scene when they barged into his apartment…did they seriously expect to find him there? Or were they trying to gather clues or whatever? The scene could’ve been a lot more touching if it was just shown that Mirai saw the magazine where Akihito wrote he wished to get those glasses too. Ugh. I’m probably being overly nit-picky but the anime’s become so overwhelmingly unimpressive. =o= Even after a potentially great episode like this will most likely get sidelined by whatever light heartedness that will ensue in the next episode. |
| To be honest, this was the first episode to actually grip me, and make me care since the very beginning. For this week at least, I'm glad I didn't drop the show. |
| The last part is just too painful to watch Q_Q kinda surprised to finally recognize who Akihito is. Poor akihito, all people near you wants you dead, Mirai is no exception. Especially after seeing the next ep preview. What the hell.. |
| Your so-called peaceful world makes me bored, so don't blame me if I destroy all of it. - http://worldinverse.smackjeeves.com |
| - Izumi purposely used a Frozen Barrier at Akihito to unleash his Youmu powers. - Beyond the Boundary is a Youmu like the Hollow Shadow, but is the only one who has the power to destroy the world. Based on the Nase research, Akihito is the only one who fit the description. It is safe to assume that Akkey is a part or may be the Beyond the Boundary himself. - The Hollow Shadow was assimilated by the Gunlance. That guy should be able to stand up against Izumi or Akihito now. - We found out that Mirai REALLY wanted to kill Akihito back in Episode 1, but things didn't go according to her plan because she grew close to him. - Ai and the others seem depressed. Akihito is said to have "kicked the bucket" in the preview. |
| If I were to watch this without sub: "Akihito shinda hazu yo" which, I would have interpreted as "He is supposedly dead" But my japanese is definitely not perfect. Going to rewatch with UTW. Anyway, i believe that he's not dead. |
