Man if Aika was a main character and had more screen time she would definitely be one of my favorites!

I'm also really liking the newly developed romance aspect of this anime! :D

Woa fuck, Hakaze's expressions were so damn cute xD Yoshino is so lucky in terms of women, though his first woman died ~.~

Wow, it's really starting to feel like this is turning into SAO. You know, where the first half was pretty good and the second half focuses too much on romance when that's not what you were watching the show for. Really hope I'm wrong and it picks up soon.

Granted, these characters are far more developed than those of SAO.

5/5

Episode that sees me satisfied across the board. Plot that uses the same paths previously exploited to show again the feelings of Hakaze and finally close this arc. In most contexts it adds that much expected, or action and mystery. Intriguing! * _ *
Drawing, animations, colors and backdrops really beautiful. Comedy well placed!
This time, Evangeline does not dominate the scene! XD

. . . I might be hated for saying this, but honestly this series doesn't differ too much from Kaze no Stigma . . . I'm hoping there is more to it or else I'm at a loss as to why people claim it to be an extremely underrated or unheard of anime.

I have no idea how popular this series is, as I don't really look into that sort of thing, and anime isn't really my main hobby.

I can however tell you that as someone who hasn't gotten into anime all that much until this year that this is one of my favorites so far(Just finished watching episode 16) because I find the characters so compelling, and the plot twists are BEYOND entertaining!

Maybe it's because my lack of knowledge of anime makes it so I rarely see anything coming, but yeah, I just love this series so much right now!

The anime has lost some steam since episode 12, and thats all right. After a superb 12 episode, you can expect an anime to reel it back a bit. However, I do think it's about that time for the anime to get back to it's intensity. That's what made the anime so great. This episode was okay, and I still like Hakaze and enjoy her crush/love on Yoshino, but this needs to go somewhere. I'm hoping that they accelerate things in the next few episodes.

I think it's kinda funny that they start over thinking and make up their own theory about Yoshino. I would be really surprised if he actually were one and knew about it all along since we could occasionally here his thoughts. Nevertheless I still think this could head towards the same direction as Darker than Black's ending.

Yeah, that's why I don't like her.

Sigh, episode was pretty bad honestly. Hakaze used her magic to save Yoshino and those grandmas were blushing, like.. serious? I am not interested in Yoshino/Hakaze's side of story now, and also Mahiro's side, if it wasn't for Mahiro, Hanemura, and a few other characters from their side, I wouldn't have cared at all. The use of quotes from Hamlet/Tempest stopped being good, it feels like they inserted them just for the sake of adding lines from those books.

Let me say my theory on what's gonna happen in this show regarding the romance. Hakaze is in love with Yoshino but Yoshino is in love with Aika and even if she's already dead, considering Yoshino's personality, it's highly unlikely for him to fall for Hakaze. And we all know Mahiro has no love interest... yet. So in the end I think there will be no couple.

Also I'm disappointed on how drastic Hahaze's personality changed.. come on I like her better back then but now she's all just Yoshino. I didn't watch this for the romance and hell I didn't even know this has romance... fucking MAL use tags properly dammit.

I love this episode.
Megumu performed a public demonstration of his powers where he destroyed a huge branch of the Tree of Genesis before so many people.
Hakaze can't help but to use her magic to save Yoshino.
Tetsuma, Evangeline and Natsumura just watched from afar to see if Yoshino is really the mage of Exodus.

They keep suspecting Yoshino of being the Mage of Exodus but I really don't think he is at all. Although we've never really seen too much from his perspective. I'm thinking that it's Aika, that she prepared this stage and her death was the curtain's rise.

Aika has accepted her feelings! A step closer!

Hmm, I thought the spy rumor was to get Hakaze back to the village, but I guess there was an actual spy after all. Hakaze is slowly falling more and more for Yoshino. I wonder if the end of this series will turn out like the end of Hamlet or the end of The Tempest or maybe neither.

Okay, this isn't going anywhere. They seriously still think Yoshino is the Mage of Exodus? The Mage of Exodus is right in front of them. Too bad for their expectations, he's a gentle person. They're blinded by and basing everything off theories instead of evidence.

And would they stop insulting and using Hanemura so freely? He's a naive kid. A caterpillar. They should teach him about the world, explain things to him, mentor him in magic patiently. People grow stronger and think more critically as they learn and experience.

This anime's world reminds me of what I learned about Utopias in class.(They're scary, not perfect.) In a sense, it seems the Tree of Genesis has created an authoritarian utopia. Peaceful, but the antithesis of liberty.
Not to mention one created at the expense of a billion+ people. The Tree of Genesis has no regard for human life.

I want to see the extent that the Tree of Exodus would actually spread destruction, or if it is just considered destruction as in disrupting the Tree of Genesis' logic a.k.a rules and mind control. We don't really know much about it at this point. I still stand by my theory that it represents chance and autonomy, while the Tree of Genesis represents fate and order through control.

On top of that, how did the Tree of Genesis 'end all wars?' Did it make people complacent with their current economic and political situations? This anime is so vague it's frustrating. It's like the characters just accept everything and a serious, educated, and philosophical argument isn't being introduced at all.

Anyways, since I heard the rest of this season is an uncharismatic rom-com, the manga is probably a better place to go. No, scrap that, the manga has only been translated up to volume four and updates once every three months. I'm rage quitting.

After the recap episode this anime became less interesting to me. Why hasn't Mahiro forced the identity of Aik's boyfriend out of Yoshino already? I hope this is the build up towards something epic. I almost feel like I'm forcing myself to watch this. My score went already from a 9 to an 8.

So they want more attention from the public for their created Exodus Mage. It seems Hanemura didn't really like that.^^

But why do they still think that Yoshino is the Exodus Mage? I don't get it.

Hakaze was priceless with all her reactions in this episode. And finally she showed her emotions to Yoshino. If Yoshino understand what that means? Go Hakaze!!!! :)

Will Hakaze end up with Yoshino....

The story is shifted after the first half...... I think It's mostly centered around them...

Hakaze's behavior has gone from op character to a blushing dull character with a lack of profoundness.

The hero costume was ridiculous. I'd like to know what meaning hamlet and the tempest will have to the show later on. It's also interesting what the girl in the black clothing was saying at the end of this episode.

More flashbacks between Aika and Yoshino.

Hanemura's public debut was hilarious. Finally, something funny from him.

I have a crazy theory:


It seems that the show insists that Yoshino is the Mage of Exodus but I do not think so.

Now I'm seriously wondering if Hakaze's love will bear fruit. As long as Yoshino is still thinking about Aika, it feels like Hakaze is hopeless but who knows.

F*ck man! Aika is so damn beautiful in that yukata! If I was Yoshino, I'd reach-in and check the theory myself, for science!

Hakaze being in love is so damn adorable! I'm torn on who to root for.

This love thingy has gotten weird. I don't dislike Hakaze but from the time we've seen her return from the island, it somehow feels like we've lost the vision. They make that dude a power ranger just to convince normal folks about the theory of mage of exodus, but then at the same time, they still do believe Yoshino is the mage of exodus... how and why???

Also did Mahiro forget that Yoshino promised him about revealing the true identity of Aika's boyfriend not too many episodes ago?

From my thinking pattern. I think Yoshino is the Third Mage as depicted in that snake pattern at last, 1 snake for Genesis, 1 for Exodus and 1 for whichever Yoshino is connected with

Come to think of it, I think Hakaze was interested in Yoshino the instant she met him in person, just before the timeskip. Didn't take her long to fall in love at all, apparently.

The literary and philosophical quotes are getting out of hand, to the extent of reminding me of GitS: Innocence.
