There's no way in hell that Akihito is going to die! It's only episode 9 and they can't go on without the main character.. -.-''
Give me a break..
Have someone even seen an Anime who goes on without their main character?? Yes, no one.. -.-''
Akihito is going to survive and with his youmu powers.. He is going to need it to fight with the man who is after Akihito, and that is what I believe ^^

Oh boy. Too much happened in this episode, poor Akihito and Mirai.
I'm really liking Hiromi's character. He is such a good person in this anime and cares so much for both Akihito and Mirai.
I'm sure Akihito survives and will actually smile and make a Megane joke to which Mirai will smile and shed tears, this is what i can picture for the next episode... such feels.

The montage during Hiromi's investigation shows Izumi and Mirai on the school rooftop. I'm assuming this scene takes place right before the beginning of the anime since Hiromi mentions during his call about how killing Akihito was their plan from the start. This is why Mirai just moved into town.

I'm not sure about this part, but the first person view of Mirai taking her glasses off before the final attack makes it seem like her vision is actually alright and not in any need of correction. Izumi opening Akihito's cabinet during their search of his room and having her reflection on one of the glasses implies that this might also just be part of her plan to lure Akihito.


This seems like a good hypothesis. I first supposed that the act of taking off her glasses showed her determination to kill him. But if yours is the case and everything is all a plan, this anime will get much better

Dat cliffhanger. In my opinion this was one of the best episodes in this series. I hope Akihito survives despite of what we saw in the PV. I can't wait for the next episode...

and N.O. I heard his human self right before Mirai had her flashbacks of Izumi and Hiroomi, he will live

I wonder how the series is going to pull it off though...

Mirai knows her! She is the responsible for that area Spirit Hunters. At episode 5 She takes away Mirai license for a month, because she attacked the Hollow Shadow.

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?


Well, it's impossible to say for sure of course, but in the preview for the next episode, the translation is wrong. She doesn't say, "Akihito kicked the bucket about two weeks ago." She says: "秋人が死んだはずよ、二週間ほど前に。" That means, "Akihito should've died, about two weeks ago." The "should" means that it's expected that he died, in the sense that there's no way the speaker believes he could have survived that. If she was 100% sure he was dead though, she'd have worded it differently. If however she was delivering a fake report and being deliberatly vague about his survival, implying he was dead, then the way she said it in the anime is how she would say it.

He could be dead, but I doubt it.

Izumi and Mirai definitely seem to know each other, and with Mirai taking off her glasses before going in for the kill I feel quite sure she planned to kill Akihito from the start, but fell for him. Sad episode ;w; hoping Akihito isn't dead. I've got a feeling Hiromi might end up betraying Izumi.

Not to burst bubbles or anything (I really do wish Trisection's theory proves correct), but back in episode 3 when showing Mirai's flashback to her days with Yui, she was already wearing dem signature red frames. Food for thought.

Have to admit I was dragging myself through this series until this episode, but things really heated up and I'm loving it. The fights and special effects are all just so beautiful and incredible to watch. That end fight between Mirai and Akihito was intense and emotional. I wonder what Akihito's connection to "Beyond the Boundary" is.

Why are you trying to kill Akkey Mirai!?!? I guess its because she was told if she doesnt then he will go full youmu forever, but then I dont know why Hiromi didn't tell her that his older sister is a liar and the one who caused this. Maybe he feels the need to protect his familys secrets. Still, come one Mirai you could have atleast attempted to find another way. Also I wonder what that scar is on Hiromi's back is. I'm glad Hiromi is being a bro trying to find a way to save Akkey.

i don't understand what beyond the boundary is suppose to mean in full...and why i am suppose to care/find it relevant this late into the series. i feel like this anime is trying to possibly be a parody anime although it is doing a poor job of executing that in my opinion. i really enjoy the slice of life aspect of this show far more than all the fantasy that is sloppily mixed into it. things like the calm & whatever beyond the boundary are should make more sense if they're trying to be such a big part of the show. the serious elements of the show are just so lamely balanced with the humor that i wish the way the show looked was enough for me to like it. just the shit plot that focuses on WAY TOO MUCH DRAMA O x O is too much for me. it feels as if it is trying to being a parody on how much high drama anime tends to involve but i don't think it is. >.<


also i just can't seem to like anything about mirai. as to why she would try to kill akkey just because she's told to like wizard pointed out in the previous post. she's such a weak main character. i wish i could love her but then she would have to have a fucking backbone and be able to show some kind of strength at all. but they give her these epic battle skills, yes they aren't that skilled at times but with her talent she showed this last episode it just doesn't fit her at all. the way that this show portrays her is really pathetic but at least it's cute. x 3 x nothing frickin' adds up with this series and just because it's pretty too look at just isn't enough for me. meh, even though i hardly understand why anything is ever happening on this show i will finish it off and add it to the good ol' anime list. ;3

Nice fighting scene between Izumi and that jerk-face even if the battle was quite short. So Akihito is gone hard in shade mode. That picture rating book should have been left unknown for the world xD those Mirai pic still look great ^^.
Shit at that point Akkey is just going to be kill as he is the ultimate shade ? Hiro'omi is looking for something and the hollow shade has been stole.

I could see Mirai thinking that Aki isn't completely gone, but she believes he's not coming back, and the only way to put him out of his misery is to kill him. She definitely took to killing him more quickly than I thought. Hell of a cliffhanger, either way.

So she was send there to kill him from the start? Well that makes the private conversation we never heard between her and Izumi obvious to what it was about.

Btw Hiromi screwed up there. He open the door for the other guy to steal that stone and power up his weapon. Now Even Izumi won't be able to stop that guy.

I know what is going on but why is it happening!!!
Akihito will not die, even if he dies, he will comeback somehow. This Anime won't work without Akihito.
Akihito is pretty sweet, thinking about Mirai's birthday present already.
I don't know what's up with Mirai and Izumi but I have some ideas.
It's nice to see Hiromi trying to save Akkey.
The animation is really awesome during those fight scenes; I really like the colors.
I can't wait so I already downloaded the opening and ending song last night :3

So Mirai killed Akihito?! What?! Also she has those glasses for style only? It went first person when she took off her glasses near the end there and it was clear. She has no need for glasses? I think we all know that Akihito didn't die. I wonder what Izumi wants. It looks like both Izumi and Miroku are bad. WHo's the lesser of two evils though? Onto the next episode!

I doubt Akihito is dead. at least not like that.

for some reason i thought that guy with the glasses was Akihito's father when he was taking the hollow shadow into his weapon. Probably very far fetched, I know.

Wow, it all makes sense then. Why she attacked him in the first episode, why she KEPT attacking him "for practice." It wasn't practice for killing random youmu, it was practice for this very moment, for killing HIM!

And then this little moeblob let him befriend her knowing what she was going to do sooner or later anyway...

Anyone else wish during that entire fight that he'd kill her?

Yea, pretty darned dumb. Stupid action.

Redeeming factor:That heartbreak scene transition. Got me. 10/10 for that scene.

Even though the plot started straitening out, 7/10 at max atm.

Better than the previous episode, in my opinion. Mirai is having a hard time to decide whether or not she should kill Akkey. Izumi definitely has something up her sleeve, but what exactly is the purpose of her plan? It might have already been answered, or maybe my lack of sleep is finally getting to me.

I just noticed Sexy Izumi has the same voice as Saber jaja. A little bit late but in my defence she's barely spoken till this episode.

Anyway, this episode is as amazing as all previous ones. Akihito sure is OP.
I still have problems understanding the sides, I mean, I know Miroku is "Bad" but I don't know what he is truly after. Izumi, I don't know if she's really a good one since she's the one who weakened the human side of Akihito.


PD: Yeah, Izumi and Mirai knew each other from before...
