I don't know whether it's good or bad that Sia's other self left her. She was really scary before. Oo

Kaede really called the police. That's a bit... extreme. xD

Waah. Well, by the looks of it, things will start getting a little better. Still a little worried about how neglected Kaede is...>< We'll see how things go.

Kinda a ackward ending that made me feel he doesn't care for her that much, and possibly dislikes her somewhat for her other self. Makes me feel shes out of the running now, i liked Sia =/

I thought it was intresting to see a totally diffrent person other than Sia in her body. To be quite frank I liked the straightforwardness. The only thing that seriously annoys me in this episode is that he regected her attempts when it's pretty obvious that he needs to make up his mind. I dropped the series at this episode so my view may be biased. Of course the only reason was because I was looking up shuffle episodes and I saw a video containing spoilers. Just a warning but that's my view on it. :]

God, I love Sia but her other side is a totally annoying manipulative bitch. THANK GOD she left Sia. Although the part where she actually left was a little sad.

And holy crap Kaede called the police o.o WTF overreacting much? XDD

I have to say though, up to this point, "evil" sia has been the most realistic character. I found similarities between her and Miyako from ef. Selfishness is a trait that every person has, and taking that away from the characters has really made the series mediocre.

BTW is it possible to abort one twin and no the other? and why would they do that? I mean, how do you choose which one?

That was my main question. I suppose it had something to do with the mother, since Sia's dad hardly seems the type to only have enough compassion for one kid.

c_c And once again I find myself asking just what is it about Rin that these girls love so much?

A polygamous society eh?

And what I HATE about this show is that none of the girls ever show jealousy, hurt, hatred, or envy or any "ugly" emotion for that matter. It's all bubbly happy.

Well, Episode was great in it's way,and there was nothing wrong with how the "other" Sia played her game, she just really wanted to get the real Sia to get a good hold on Rin-kun.
I'm more curius about the place where the gods live--- Polygamous society huh,hm.. means SIa's still hoping for Rin to pick her as a 2nd wife or something. well,that will never happend anyway, cowardly Rin!

I dislike Asa so I'm kinda pissed with this ending -_- I liked Sia a lot, I really hoped for her or Nerine... I would think it's really stupid if he ended up with Asa, the whole plot involving the demons and the gods would be unecessary in my opinion... I kinda hoped Sia would've blew up something out of frustration or sadness but too bad :( Well I can just hope it won't be Asa in the end...

Sure thing. Coathanger.

Anyway, what the fuck? The bitch basically walked up to the gutless protagonist and told him she was a certified schizophrenic, and not just by chance but because of some semi-abortion spirit transfer wacko-shit. And the guy would not have had a problem with that if he hadn't another love interest. I bet the guy who came up with that story is still laughing his ass off about how people kept buying games, DVDs and eventually even marketing this pile of shit to the foreigners.

The only good things of this ep was the last 5-10 sec when she admits that she is totally cool with sharing him... but then again if that was true the other Sia wouldn't have been so persistent to have him all for herself O_o

This has to be the cheesiest and most melodramatic, cliche harem anime there is... Going through this episode was like Golgotha, and boobies weren't enough to save it.

I simply don't get what's the big deal and why can't Sia or every other girl when they have their turn on Rin, can't just be a little bit cooler? They get overly dramatic and try too hard to squeeze out some deeper meaning to their feelings because obviously there's none there.

Shakespeare's comedy "Much ado about nothing" as a title only, would fit this show very well.

I feel like Kikyou didn't have to go away. She just had to... Stop being a major bitch. :33 But anyway, the scene with Sia and Kikyou in the womb made me "Awwww" and so did the whole "I love you" with all the flower petals and stuff...

Also, this episode proves also Sia is really the best choice even we're going to consider either Rin's or our own feelings because once he become the King of Gods, he can marry all of his harem. So if Rin can't fucking decide because he's spineless, pick Sia so he can marry the others and Sia of course.

Very fucking true. What the studios did is to tease us Sia fans. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!

Indeed. That's also what I hate the most on this show. They should done omnibus format like what they did on Yosuga No Sora.

Ending to this episode saved it really.

My main issue with this show as someone else stated is that the female characters don't really show any form of jealousy. These girls supposedly love him, yet they're quite cowardly with their emotions.

I don't get why people think Rin is a dick though? What, because he doesn't pick the girl that you happen to like the most? Psssh. MC just seems like a normal guy to me, not a wuss, not a Gary Stu.

I feel like the author or whoever decided how the story would work (at least in the anime) purposely crapped on all the other females except Asa. I can totally see Asa and Rin happening for sure now. If this is true, I like the unpredictability but poor character choice...Asa is annoying.

As for the lack of jealousy thing, I can see jealousy but it's not as blatant as the girls acting like little b*tches about it. When Rin is having a moment with the other females, there are always shots of the neglected females looking concerned or something (similar to Sia at the market when Rin was with Asa). Aside from Sia's nutty twin, Kaede's the only one blatant with her jealousy (but in the form of self pity).

I like the series enough to finish it, but I feel like this series just throws things in out of nowhere too much. For example, prior to the last two episodes, was there any indication that Sia had an evil side, let alone a twin that was never born? Seems kind of contrived. Like Primula suddenly getting sick for a few episodes but now everything is fine. Or Nerine and Lycoris. It seems like they suddenly wanted to change the direction of the show and make it more dramatic, so they started inventing as much drama as they could and went overboard.

Still, I think with this episode they might have finally found a tonal balance between silly and dramatic.

Wow. I was completely off in my last comment. Other Sia ended up being a very realistic character by the end, and I was almost sad to see her go. I'll admit that she irked me for the first half of this episode, but part of me feels like the ending kind of made up for that, or came close to if nothing else. It was also really refreshing to see a character showing jealousy and being so straightforward for a change. I am left wondering why Sia had to be born as an only child though. It seems really odd to only want a single child if you're going to have twins. It also doesn't seem like a choice that Sia's father would make, but maybe he was completely different before becoming a father or something.

Oh, and heaven suddenly seems like a great place in the world of Shuffle.

Also, I just want to point out that I really enjoy Shuffle's world. Having gods and demons interact with the human world is a great idea, and I love that the gods and demons aren't enemies as well. If anything, they seem like really strong allies, if the friendship between Sia and Nerine's fathers is anything to go off of.

If I was Sia, I'll just search for a different guy. Rin is such a lame ass guy for such tactics to work on anyways. Unless, deep inside, he's aiming for the harem route, then I must say well played!

Sia was so nice this ep. especially in that red dress. If I was Rin, I'd devour her!

If it's a polygamous society, then just skip school already, marry all his waifus and be the master of both realms. It's too bad Rin's brain doesn't work logically. lol

Sia's panties say "God." Man, her other self rocketed straight to the top of the list of most annoying characters in the history of anime. That being said, her flashing her tits was fairly hot, I'll give her that one. Even so...



Don't you have to usually wait awhile before you can report a missing person? Kaede wasn't messing around, sheesh.

So, I guess Rin isn't going to pursue Sia or Nerine. If he chooses anyone at all, will it be Kaede then? I'm somewhat surprised since it seemed like the anime was heavily favoring Sia. The disappointing reveal being that if Rin had ended up with her, he'd be in a polygamous paradise. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if that would be wasted on him.

Mirror-Sia was actually Sia's deceased sister? She took over Sia's body just to get rejected, and then disappeared on her own accord in defeat. A melancholy affair indeed. It's a shame too, because I found Mirror-Sia to be a really enjoyable character.
