... I shouldn't be surprised at this show anymore, but I'm still disappointed, and What the fuck? The twins are back?! Sweet lord have mercy...

1/5 for this episode.

my thoughts this week:

first time we see a different way that saya pulls her sword and a different stance after too

first the class rep, now tokizane, only pairing left for saya is saya x fumito

tokizane looks pretty tough.. thought he'd at least fight instead of get eaten in one bite; after he died it seemed like saya didn't care about him anymore o.O

more clues to saya being a vampire from furukimono and specially fumito's line "you like the red color and the taste right?" could there be blood in the coffee and guimuave?

did fumito give saya's dad blood? AGAIN with the teacher

nono and nene alive

I seriously can't take it anymore. This anime is an insult to all animes. Asura Cryin' was better than this.

..and that's REALLY saying something.

They kill off the one good character this show had left? Wow. I didn't think they'd be that retarded.

Oh but wait. This is a 'LET'S KILL EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE' anime, so, I guess they can get even more fucking stupid.

I'm so tempted to lower my rating for this even more. Thank god there's only 2 episodes left of this shit storm.

Wow, this was a super interesting episode! I definitely didn't see it coming that the twins are suddenly alive. Not to mention how creepy that particular scene was, their cheerful behaviour didn't fit with the sinister soundtrack which made me feel a bit uneasy. I'm interesting how things will unfold from here on.

tbh I don't understand why so many people are that upset about Tokizane dying. Saya's classmates have been dying one after one in the previous episodes, so one more shouldn't make such a big difference, especially since he was obviously clueless about everything what's going on.

Anyway, I liked how they showed Saya singing the following day after Tokizane died. I assume that this is supposed to show how programmed Saya really is, she is no more than a robot which is following orders at this moment, though she is ignorant about this, so I don't think she is that stupid or heartless as many people claim her to be but rather brainwashed.

I am going to say that the comparison between the two shows is a very good one. I still hold after two years roughly that the show should have been planned out better and should have been made into one season, not two. I almost didn't pick up the second season, with how awful the first one was, but decided to pick it up so that the story was resolved in my head. I also think I am being nice on how I rate the series on my list.

I honestly don't mind being misled by a storyline. That can be fun, but only when it is done right. Both of these shows can easily be compared to the fanfiction I've read and given critique to, where the writers keep so much secret simply because they want to awe their readers, but in truth they just end up alienating them.

I am going to say, I wasn't at all surpised that Tokizane died in the series. That though, goes to show how horribly predictable the storyline is, which is a clear sign of bad storytelling. Not to mention, they also killed off one of the characters that felt like it was actually getting character development.

I don't think that Saya is "stupid or heartless" either, but that doesn't make her robotic personality any bit endearing.

Alright, more confusion and meh :/ with two more episodes, idk. The movie can only cover so much. And with the awesome plot-planning of the show (not), I kinda wonder if that'll even make a difference.

I don't know how they can make a movie if everyone is killed off. Unless it's going to be a prologue to the series.

Tokizane clearly had issues with the class-rep, as well as Saya's father. He was going to answer Saya when she said:

"How long have I known you?"


He looked sad before and as he said:

"Saya-"


Then Saya's "father" interrupted him, and after a glare-off, Tokizane says:

"I still haven't said all I want to say..."
and leaves.

You would think you'd want to know what he wanted to say, and why he's suspicious of her father and the class-rep, right?

He also seems pretty detached from this world, except for when it came to Saya. He didn't care about being late for class on some occasions, he is never seen conversing with anyone, and when Saya said in episode 8:

"I also want others to know how kind you are, Tokizane-san"


He replies with:

"It's enough for only you to know about it."


He only cares about what Saya thinks of him. But why? And when he adverted his eyes when he said:

"I'm your classmate. I've had plenty of chances to grow fond of you."


adverting eyes is a tell tale sign that he's hiding something, or he's lying. He also looked to his right, and that is also a sign of hiding something and/or lying...and this lead to him almost telling her something important after she asked him how long has she known him.

There were three characters I felt that were trustworthy in this show, and two of them are dead (as far as we know)

Lol at people's reaction.

I don't think should believe a thing about the shit that they are throwing at us. Obviously everything will turn out to be a big farce.

As far as I know, no one may have died and Saya is dreaming. Also, this Saya could have been some failed experiment clone Saya for all that we know.

In other words, prepare for a CLAMP-style mindfuck coming.

Also, I bet the movie is about the "real" awakened Saya. Again, "real" is subjective just like the Taoist "butterfly dream".

Of course he was going to die the moment he came up that stairs. Well, if he actually died. Either it was all fake, or some elder bairns or similiar took their appearence and at least basic behaviour, like the twins being synchronous, clapping etc.

With this episide, it is even more clear that the whole thing is set up just for Saya. Even if the people died for real, and weren't some elder bairns or so to begin with, the library containing only one book and even that is new, everyone behaving suspicous, the coffee and the other thing..

Also, i wonder why nobody drinks coffee? Saya is getting some special treatment there for sure, but can't Fumito just make normal coffee as welll? It's a café after all. And it's not like it would be a problem for Saya to have an extra coffee pot. While it's surely suspicous if someone else would order the same, other things are even more so, and Saya is totally oblivious anyways. Also, it's a café, they could order something else, like an espresso, cappuccino..whatever. But nobody *ever* drinks *any* coffee. Her father declined it, the teacher ordered tea instead.

Also, except for that one launch break in school where she wanted to share with Tokizane, all she is eating is marshmallows (guimauve). Even now, where Fumito mentioned the guimauve she had earlier was probably not enough, all she had was coffee so far. Of course, they, or at least Saya, was interrupted by the teacher, but i don't think we are gonna see her getting something "real".

That Tokizane guy is probably alive. The twins reappeared and obviously some big shit about Saya's environment will be revealed but the show was so bad until now that i doubt the expected revelation will make it good.

Besides we knew things aren't as they appear from the first moment. We can't say exactly and in detail what is going on but we got many clues of things and no revelation will be much of a surprise.

So some dead characters are coming back. Or maybe that was just a show or "farce" as the teacher said and they were never the people she thought they were. Either way at least this episode has a forward plot and left behind some questions. Which is an odd turn for this show. Still crappy, but maybe they will make it interesting.

No, not all of Saya's friends are dead. The class president is still alive as of this episode.


Yeah, but that's her last "power up". I hope she saves his sacrifice for the final boss.

Well, Saya is featured in the manga volume cover, so I don't know how valid your assertions are:


Also, what do you mean with "the manga will be"? The manga has been published since May, I believe. Or are you talking about a future Blood-C manga that has not been published yet?

The episode was good but I am totally baffled at the spinning of the following monster,

while it obvious its hair is doing most of the fighting considering I saw a spinal bone cord only at one point. It was intriguing to see this monster use its unique skills and at the very least the episode did not shy away from its gore in the spoiler
being much more graphical, which may [please fans or not. More later.




RIP for Shinchiro.

Now, Nono & nene alive or just spirits?

and what kind of game was Saya's father and the cafe owner playing?

So if Tokizane died....who is the guy with Tokizane´s hair in the preview of next episode? =_= Tokizane´s clone? (that would be so Tsubasa chronicle-ish). The guy is alive for sure, just like the twins.


i came to conclusion that the only innocent in the whole anime is the class president, the others are all liars.

thoughts ....

what the fuck?

they make Tokizane relevant and he confesses, then dies and it gets no sold? THE GUY JUST DIED and nobody acts like anything is wrong!

the monsters never go near her father, it can't be a coincidence.

okay the Guimauve guy is creepy. Just what is he putting in the guimauve? blood? the remnants of the people that died? the dead monsters?

the lack of answers is getting down right annoying at this point. the teacher obviously did know something. what the fuck, the twins aren't dead anymore? I don't even know.......

Been saying that throughout this whole episode, especially when Tokizane died. He was my favourite character... T_T

Hopefully they reveal something next episode...

I’m just trying to be okay. Some days it’s harder than others. I hide away the most real parts of myself from everyone else. The emotions that I try to escape from. The constant pain I feel. The nightmares that keep me awake at night.

It hurts sometimes... knowing that the world is continuing happily all around me while I continue to drown in alcohol and slowly die inside myself.

This anime is unpredictable so I love this anime. I can take it kind of seriously. lol
It's just fun to see random scary monsters in country side. It's somewhat realistic ? I don't know. It's scary. Especially the school massacre. It was just like Gantz. Although gantz was more scarier. It's just sad this is gonna end. =[

I think the Coffee has somekind of medicine to make Saya forget or relax or whatever. The school teacher said she doesn't want coffee and the cafe gimove guy said saya is okay after the coffee.

Hope for more awesome weird looking monsters and fights. And then I'll have to wait
for the movie. :D

well if Tokizane ends up trolling Saya or if he's just downright dead, then my sole favorite character in this series would be the dog/Watanuki (if that's him) .___.;
the preview for next epi is quite weird o_o; if this somehow turns into an ecchi anime then I would rage to the ends of the earth at how pointless this show was >_>;
anyways Tokizane getting killed, we get more hints at the priest and cafe dude doing something in the background. Twins reappear though based on the preview they dont seem to be the same -Tokizane also appears holding that vile of blood-
sucks that the movie will come out ages from now @_@ (DVD wise)

I think there was a serious animation flaw in this episode and I just couldn't resist not commenting on it.

In 03:39, a scene was show with Saya having a wound on her left cheek caused by the hairy monster and then on 03:45, the wound was gone! I actually thought, 'maybe the wound got healed since she has a super fast healing ability....' then on scene 03:50, the wound was back! I even played it back to make sure... but I guess CLAMP hasn't noticed it during its production.

Anyways, back to watching for me.
