THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Darn it, I'm so angry. At first, I thought that the... daughters... yeah... could be a good addition for some reason, but one just had to ruin a potential kiss scene. I hope Takatsuki doesn't start playing the damsel in distress though.

It was nice, being able to see some dead characters in the flesh though, and a nun cafe is like win; definitely a way to obtain... donations.

Now why was Ania able to age...

At first I was a little disappointed with the new world, new start type of thing going on but as the episode progressed it started getting interesting to me. I guess we'll see how this plays out.

So Nia is five years older...it means she is like 15/16 years old. Takatsuki is human and has no powers? Big change there. They talked about Himezasa....that is the burial doll of Rikka's Machina if I remember correctly. Rika is no president, graduated and opened a Nun cafe...hires for something of 150$ perday of pay? Many graduated, demons come from nowhere through a dimension what I guess is the problem of the black hole experiment accident (superstring gravity reactor), I suppose since there is not many explanations about this world yet. Naotaka is dead 1 month ago...Aki (Toru's sister) is alive so that is good for Kagayaki. There was naked Toru again and Nia now can throw cards/has some powerful magic. So many changes, looks like everyone got separated with different time differences, hope all join together in the end, still missing Misao. If there is one thing I wanted was to see Nia older and becoming more of woman instead of little girl guess I got my wish here since seeing the OP: She looks so much like Christina just less graceful. Also Aki is pretty nice with her fighting and dual swords
Also are the dimension sky thing also related to the black hole accident?

If I remember right Nia was 12 in 2nd world so she is 17 bow. But I could mistaken of cause.

And I thought right that 2 new characters would be not "new". Aki and older Nia are really cool )))

And world himself is not new, just 1st World after Black Hole Exident but few years before it's end. Very interesting for storyline

That's is the top reason of my pic posting, if you notice I only do that with something interesting/cool or to get explanations for something too hard to describe. You got my reason for Nia/Aki....too cool to pass by.

So they're not just travelling through dimensions, but through time too. Now I'm hoping, that Tomo will return to the second world just before the incident and save Shuri, Yukari and the others.

This might be the best episode of Asura Cryin I have seen since the first season. Those 5 years of Nia wasn't gone to waste I think. What she said at the end was really interesting. If you think that Tomo was thrown into the future one year ahead, then it is not impossible for this older Nia who might be the Nia from the second which was thrown into the past and waiting for Tomo for 5 years. Even if that is the case, there are still a couple things need to be explained.

So now at last we get more story-development? : D
Last episode was awesome. This might be awesome too?
Oh well at least a Nun Café is a cool idea?xD

Also, wth how did Tomoharu get into that kind of situation?xD It was quite expected, unfortunately, but I guess it was some comic relief anyway.

Rather dull episode actually O.o
Anyway .. Nice to see some Toru in natural situations, and of course a great older Nia, and a cool Aki. Also.. somehow... I'm starting to find Takatsuki a tad annoying : /
Oh and older Nia wasn't the first worlds Nia,but in fact the same Nia, although she managed to get through to the first world a whopping 5 years faster than Tomo and Takatsuki xD.

Now then, I just miss some Misao, some Asura Machina awesomeness, and Tomo with demon powers.

Fixed

But yeah it only took like what, 20 eps or something? But still I didn't feel like this ep actually revealed jack-shit storywise. They're like somewhere in the future in an alternate world, and thats about it. Yay for plot moving forward. And exactly when is tomoharu gonna stop being completely useless? Could someone of the overimba people running around perhaps teach him a thing or two sometime?
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely

I Try not to look at it as the being tossed into the "past". The world they're in right now is the future. The world they where in before was the past. So technically she was tossed into the future just not as far into the future as where Tomo ended up.

So look at it this way Nia probably got tossed a few months into the future and then ended up waited 5 years for the past Tomo to catch up to her time. Takatsuki looks like she was thrown into the future but a few weeks before Tomo showed up.

Diagram:
Past World---->Nia pops out here----------Takatskui------Tomo---???who's next

What's interesting is the future Tomo that died in the past Tomo's world might have actually been the current him (if that makes any sense xD). Give him a few more years and he might end up going back to the past to do just what Future Tomo was trying to do. This could be one huge endless Cycle lol.

Since we don't have much of evidences I think it is not a bad way to say it at this time. But even if this is the case, that shouldn't stay the same as last time. If you think about Noein theory or some theory like after one thousand cycles something will start to change. In this case you can say that the current future-Tomo will have more knowledge than the past future-Tomo.

Great episode!! This series is turning out to be Epic!! So, Nia got their five years before Natsume and Takatsuki? That's awesome, she is way more powerful. I thought it was Christina at first, but I don't think so, I think it's Nia!! I can't wait to see Misao, I have a feeling she's gonna be alive. That would be so great, Tomo and her could actually embrace, but it would cause tension between Tomo/Takatsuki. But if Takiyo isn't the evil Asura Cryin' one from the "second world" than where's he at? And, can they both exist in this world? If so, than is there another Tomo, Takatsuki, Nia, etc. etc.? Have to wait and see, it seems like this is gonna be an Epic ending...Urahara Out!!

Oh and also, after alot of contemplating, I've come to the conclusion that the OP owns.
A few minutes ago I compared the new OP (Alternative) with the one from the first season (Spiral) and there's some serious difference : o
I thought Spiral was great at first, but it shrunk quite a bit with Alternative being as epic as it is : D

Ok, se we have them moved to another parrel world, propably 1st stage world (I don't thunk that Tokiya managed to create 3rd stage world already).

Funny stuff to see Tomo wandering around kinda lost, only one student council in raku high. Some guys already graduated from there - inc. Tooru, Tokiya, Rikka and started more mature lives.

Aki is still alive and pretty well, being some kind of Tokiya's gf, Tooru got funny moments, but that gives the question... what about snowflake Aine ?

According to previous ep, at end they were at some weird place between realites and we had Misao saying that its ok blablabla, now we see them in 1st stage world like this

-4 years - Nia appears in 1st stage world
0 year - epic fight between tokiya and party and tomo(s) and party
+1 year - Kanade ends in 1st stage world (or more/less, they didnt had xmas in 1st stage world during fight)
+1 year and 3 days - Tomo ends in 1st stage world

NaotakaTomo stated that Asura Machina are probes to travel between worlds, that gives Misao means to move them to 1st stage world and save their lives. Also in op, what if Tomo is actually summoning his daugther ?

Buy this family is the best. That lucky $%^%$ president living with two Goddess like that.
They are hot and they kick ass while they can also be cute and love there man like crazy. What more a man can ask.

Anyway now that am threw talking about the awesome sisters lets talk about the episode. Oh yeah! Sorry i don't think i care much about anything else am still stuck in the hot sister pair.
