Wow, in the back of my head I just kept thinking Iori or any of the cast will NEVER die; but when the doctor came out, and smiled I thrashed for joy. I haven't been that relieved and excited in anime for a long time. GEEEE GEEEE

I know it's childish..and selfish.
But seeing these spoilers about how

makes me want to drop the anime..
The Op, the ED and the anime itself hints a relatioship between Iori and Taichi and
now I discover it goes like that..

So disappointed. :(

I don't think we've gotten any real deep info on Aoki either. Since this series seems to have a pretty heavy psychological component I would be surprised if he doesn't have some big issues to work through as well.


I wouldn't. Teen males in anime always get the short end of the stick. The main character's male best friend fares even worse. It's because cute girls sell and the target audience doesn't care about the male characters.

Fantastic episode. I haven't been that captivated by any sort of drama like that in a long time, if ever. I support the TaichIori pairing but Inaba is still probably my favorite. That sexy voice at the end. Bah.

THIS


well I think I understand how they feel, coz me too feel so sad at anime like true tears when the main male char didnt end up with the heroine I like...eventhough it's just anime, but I can feel the pain,

it's the same too with Iori, Taichi premature confess already indicated that he rushed his feeling only to make instant happiness for Iori, it's really the same like Shinichiro Nakagami from True tear...

I think the worse character is Taichi, because this kind of male character always make premature decision and hurt someone so bad in the end,

I prefer Aoki, coz he always loves Yui from the beginning ^^

Before the OP: OMG they're so sweet. I was smiling the whole time :3

---

THIS IS SO DAMN CRAZY!!! In this episode, I laughed, I smiled, and I almost cried when Iori told Taichi that she didn't want to die ... it was really too much. I totally hate Heartseed, he's so cruel :(

I'm so glad that everything turned out to be this way. Hell, if Iori really die I might drop this series, because it's so nonsense ...

I'm so glad that Taichi finally confessed to Iori, and she accepts him and also kissing each other (while in Inaba's body, lol.) I like how Iori tricked him to think she wasn't herself in the club room before, which then pushed Taichi to express his real feeling to her.

This is really the best episode so far, but I hope they don't play around with our feeling like this so may times. I'm so tired of switching my mood ... :)

I ALMOST CRIED. WHY DID I ALMOST CRY. AND THEN AT THE END WHEN THEY WERE ALL HAPPY TOGETHER I WAS SMILING AND LAUGHING BECAUSE I WAS JUST TOO HAPPY THAT THEY GOT A GOOD ENDING.

Okay, this is great. They didn't do this too early in and really gave some good depth to Iori before causing this whole ordeal, which made me care about her. But oh god, the confession scene near the end almost had me in tears. I was a bit upset that the death didn't go through, but then again like Heartseed said, they all learned something very important from the expierence.

It wasn't melodramatic, had some great build-up, it was emotional, and for god's sake tears formed in my eyes. 5/5, this show is probably going to end up getting an 8/10 from me. It's just so good.

Oh, and I REFUSE to read those spoilers. Or even go through the pages in this discussion just in case someone didn't put spoiler tags.

Don't read if you don't want to spoil the Iori-Taichi-Ianaba triangle. I warned you. I don't know HOW it happens, but I know how it ends.


SPOILERS.
No matter how you take it. It's really who has earned it with what is shown of them in the anime. So far Inaba got a edge with the masturbation part but Inori can still climb back up. We shall see.

Ultimately I am going to see WHAT EACH GIRL did in the anime to see who ends up with who. Fiction is what you take it. If you don't like Girl x Guy well can technically F it! You make it how you want it.

CAUSE IT'S ALL FICTION! Remember that. I never was OK with some Girl x Guy *cough* Mashiro Iro *cough* Pretty much. So no one really needs to take the author's BS of who he wants who to end up.

So now they're even pretending to have switched huh? Iori was just pretending to be Inaba in her body. Taichi follows her and eventually confesses to her, only for Heartseed to take over and try to kill her. Yet another experiment. They had to choose whose personality would die with her body. What a choice to make. In the end it was all a lie and Iori made it after all.

I liked their last conversations though. It's what they say: "A person shows their true colors just when they're about to die". Taichi and Iori are now officially a couple and she kissed him in Inaba's body (Inaba even heard about it (dat grin :P)). I wonder what Iori she said to the others though...

Just who the hell is this heartseed and why the experiments?! There's no way it's suddenly over, the swapping is going to continue for sure.

Sure. I'm betting Heartseed's funding has dried up and he has to head back. He probably needs to meet his publish deadline anyway.

But yes, this was a great episode. If Iori actually died, that probably would have been even more epic. I probably would have continued to watch either way. I wouldn't have minded if the series ended with this episode though.

I seriously thought Inori was going to die, especially since the title of the episode had Death in it. xD When the doctor formed a smile i was like "huh? sadistic doctor?"
And the voice acting before their kiss- great.

I'm giving them credit for doing things better than the typical anime series. Thus far it has been pretty high quality, so I hope that the five main characters are just that, main characters, and are fully developed by the end of the show.

At first, I thought Iori was going to confess, be turned down, and kill herself, just from the last episode's preview. Watched til she was taken over and then was really just in shock. The episode is a huge emotional roller coaster. First, it's the regular secondary dude asking secondary chick and being turned down, slice of life feel. Then, that holy crap what the hell is Iori going to do. Suddenly, relief that she's actually going to do better and not kill herself, or at least, not jump off the school roof (which was what I thought was going to happen). Pure sadness when they had to choose who was going to die and finally, relief. Bomb episode overall.

I sort of attribute heartseed to like a Joker character, he does it cuz he can
Joker: "...You see, in their final moments, people show you who they really are. So, in a way, I know more about your friends then you do"
The only difference here is that in this instance they are treating heartseed as a neutral entity; the outcomes of his intervention can go both ways, like flipping a coin. lol let's insert another batman quote:

Guy1: "Wayne coming back means change. Change can be either good or bad. I go with bad"
Guy2: "Why?"
Guy1: "I flipped a coin."

that's kind of what heartseed is; he'll just do something because he can and observe the results. the main draw of this show is to see the reactions of the 5 main cast anyways. In a weird way, i kind of like the idea of heatseed. Yes, he a plot device, but on the other hand, other dramas use various forms of stimuli (like an event, or a sentimental item) to push the story into a serviceable resolution. in KC, they just took out the middle man. lol kind of like during the bridge scene as if heartseed was like "yeaa, the story's getting a little too long. let's wrap this up" *falls* XD

I love this anime, an I can relate to Heartseed on at least one level... I was just starting to get bored with this, when apparently Heartseed was bored too :D then all the characters had major developments this episode, and I am excited once more.

Usually I don't like it when a character is spared from death, but this time I didn't mind so much. If she died, I might've had to stop because I am not in the mood for all that.
