| Mahiro knows a death flag when he sees one, he was just saving Megumu's ass. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Nah, Yoshino won't die. I mean really, to kill off one of the main character like that is lame. He will die pointlessly. |
 |
| Decent episode. I don't think Yoshino will die though. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| GODAMMIT YOSHINO STOP DYING. ;___; Well technically he's not dead. Poor Mahiro, this counts the second time he saw his best friend 'die'. Although there's really no way to heal him (yet) since Hakaze and the others are busy. :/ I hope he doesn't die. DDDD: Great episode, I expected this one to focus on the romance XDD It's funny because in this particular anime I don't really care too much about the romance aspect (except Aika and Yoshino, really). It is a significant part of the anime, but I really care more about the other themes. Can't wait for the next episode~ last one, huh. ;___; |
| With everything that was built up in this episode, it was inevitable that something would happen to Yoshino. I just find it kind of strange that, of all things, he gets shot. It felt kind of like a random plot device. Other than that, this episode had a great combination of build-up and action. I loved the dynamics between Mahiro and Hanemura as well as Yoshino and Hakaze. This series has really shaped up, and I'm ridiculously excited to see the conclusion. |
| shot in the chest. shittt. good ep though |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| I KNEW IT! I just knew that things were too good to be true. Mahiro's plan was actually really good and was going well but then one of boat crew members had slowly put out his gun and shot Yoshino. Damn!! I could just imagine Hakaze crying and being so emotional once she hears about it. I really liked the Yoshino X Hakaze moment at the swimming pool. Hanemura, you got this man!! Love this anime. :) |

Looking at the manga, it seems they added a few things and skipped aswell. Although it is a little disappointing for the skipping I cant be more happy that we are getting the same ending as the manga, considering there are only 2 chapters left to animate. 5/5 for this episode. there was absolutely nothing special about the dialogue. dont even pretend u fanboy. Coming from someone who gave code geass a 10... I cant take the bolded part seriously. But because i got nothing better to do, let me explain because i clearly didn't explain it well enough. I'll give it to you that the dialogue alone was not so good, it was like reading a mediocre novel. But when i meant dialogue i really meant everything surrounding it, so how the animation and the soundtracks that accompanied the scene really made the whole very good and entertaining. i really dont care if u like the show(its below average to me) but dont embarass yourself by saying the dialogue was "something". this show is no [insert anime with great diaogue]. damn right code geass is a 10/10 for me. Lol typical fanboy's arguing with one another. "I think this show is stupid, and for those whose opinions differs to mine, and actually likes it, is stupid as well." You gotta love the otaku world. |
 |
| omg Yoshino is shot such a twist man next ep is the last one I dnt want it to end!!! |
 |
| Oh shit if that tree of genesis is destroyed yoshino can't be save right? O_o plot twist |
 |
| A major cliff-hanger. |
 |
| love it. I hope that yoshino is not dead XD cant wait for the last episode next week. |
     |
| Daaaaamn Yoshino was shot . Well , hope he gets it through the last episode . |
 |
| Ooh, didn't expect that their plan will involve switching costumes... and Yoshino! No! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Since I already read the spoiler tag in Yoshino's profile, sadly, I already know what happens (unless they change it). Watching the plan go into execution was pretty neat. Really liked the pool scene for some reason... maybe because Hakaze in swimsuit. I dunno. |
| Noooooooo, Yoshino D: I love the twists of Zetsuen T^T Though I guess Mahiro or Yoshino getting hit shouldn't be that much of an unpredictable twist, I always wonder what's the next that's gonna happen. It's usually simple and very good just like this. I am torn bout his death though. I kinda want him dead cause we have seen enough in our lives of main characters getting ressurected and he would also be with Aika that way. I kinda want him alive cause I do like him and I don't really wanna see him die :< This series has grown so much on me but I'm kinda glad it's ending. I adore it but I'd be sad to see the quality of it dropping :< |
   |
| Am I the only one who doesn't understand how a kid like Mahiro is doing all the planning? I mean, wouldn't someone like Evangeline, who was affiliated with the military in the first half of the series, be better suited for tactical planning? Or some of the others, I don't care. It just seems stupid and too out there for them all to rely on him to do all the strategics when there are obviously others who are much better suited for that task. Stark700 said: Damn, Evangeline looks good this episode. This is the only real thought that comes to mind after watching this episode. |

| So I saw the argument going on above, and I'm not about to pick sides or anything, because I'm not about to join in on the name-calling. That being said, I don't really think the dialogue was that special either. I'm not claiming to be an expert on dialogue or anything remotely like that, but I think it was pretty much just an average anime peptalk. You know, the one where they do those little exclamations and/or gasps after a tiny realization that really shouldn't have been surprising at all, and where they say a lot of philosophical-y things that don't make all that much sense if you actually think about it. I'm not a fan of these anime kind of talks, but it's part of what makes an anime an anime (in my opinion), so I've learned to accept them. Honestly, I would've been surprised if the dialogue had been something special. |

| Personally I think this is the best anime of the year- one of the best of the decade, and it's the brilliant writing that centers it for me- though the great characters, plot twists, and attention to detail that make it all work so well. Not to bash Code Geass, but it was a great anime except for the inconsistency and overused deus ex. The endings (both series of CG) were kind of BS as well IMO. This is said only to contrast with Zetsuen, which really did some brilliant things with clearly pre-planned awesome 'brilliant' saves. I'm sure there are inconsistencies here or there, but no fatal flaws like CG. Also every character in zetsuen has a likable quality- even the ones that started as enemies. CG is a really good anime as well, but emotionally and technically I see Zetsuen as having put more work into achieving their results. They are very different styles of anime, so any person can like or dislike either and that's fine- but I think ZnT really went through their own work 'nit-picking' till it was damn close to flawless, and that I can definitely get behind. I suppose I may sound like a fan-boy with this, but objectively if I had to list the flaws of each series, I don't think many people couldn't guess which would have the longer list. Which has more empathy for it's characters. Which has characters everyone can admire & approve of their decisions. These things don't 'make' a great anime- but they sure as heck help- especially when ZnT does them all so well. We started with 2 sides of opposed, but equally 'good' people- a hard thing to do to begin with- and it just got better from there. Anyway- my take on it. |

If you aren't watching Zetsuen no Tempest (Civilization Blaster), you should be. Brilliant writing with legit plot twists. Just finished blog entry 'Japanese Authors Take Heed' Series (JATH)! Entry 03: Proactive Villains, Reactionary Heroes'. |
| Wtf, Yoshino was shot? I wonder how this will end but I don't want to end it at the same time. Oh well... Am I the only one who finds Hakaze's Dancing Princess outfit unbelievably ridiculous? Even if there's a serious fight going on, I just can't keep a serious face when I see it. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| Loved the episode, action was beginning to start. And another plot twist, I liked how before he shot he was pointing to the middle, I guess for dramatic effect. Either way I'm wanting to see how this all works out. It's going to be one hell of a ride next week Thursday. |
 |
| ehh. I kinda think its ridiculous how seriously "in love" Hakaze is acting for Yoshino. It's like she hasnt known him that long, I know theyve been through some crazy shit, but she's the head mage and she's willing to throw it all away on this emotion she's now experiencing. Doesnt have much of a build-up as the second to last episode til the end. Dunno how I feel about it I feel like they slightly derailed the series feel to it after halfway point. |
 |
| tbh, I loved this episode. It was well constructed and Mahiro's plan was badass. One more ep to go. It's a solid 7. May increase to 8 depending on last ep. Uhh so did Yoshino die? :S |
| It was predictable that Yoshino would be atacked, but well it still was a bit of a shock to me. Can't wait for the finale next week |

| They can't do this!!! This show is one of my favorites, but if Yoshino dies right now, I will be really ticked off! I want him to have his happy ending with Hakaze! Dang, this next week better go by quickly... Also, Hakaze was pretty cute again this week! (What else is new?) |
| Can't wait for the big finish. So far everything's been amazing and I hope they don't tank the ending. But I highly doubt Yoshino would die, I mean...it just doesn't feel like they'd kill off Yoshino last minute. |
eminagnam said: On the contrary I would say he is the least dangerous because he is contented to indulge his love of boobies just with stuff printed on paper. He is not going to go out to pray around to vent his libido. I have a sense that he is speaking for many male watchers too. Didn't imagine Hoshimura liked that kind of graphic book. Maybe he is most dangerous in a sense. eminagnam said: I guess we should also say those fights between Batman and Joker wearing childish costumes in front of grown-ups, military men and convicts are laughable too.And the mage battle was laughable. It was like a child play. Why did they wear such childish costumes in front of grown-ups, military men? Was it being televised to public? === About the dialogues, I don't want to call it special or not, but I think there is a purpose they serve and they serve it very well, fleshing out the characters of everyone, Hakaze, Yoshino, Mahiro and Hanemura and their thoughts and feelings in good details. It also allows the series the room to breathe and audience to take in the mood and atmosphere before the tense operation starts. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

| i just knew it that yoshino is probably gonna die in the end. Most PROBABLY. its kinda better that way though, thinking that now he and aika are gonna be together,DEAD. |

eminagnam said: Well, many teenagers and adults read it, and we see live-action movies of Batman wearing childish costumes (though more expensively looking) too, and those movies are not classified as kids movies. Don't see why that is not laughable based on your logic.symbv said: I guess we should also say those fights between Batman and Joker wearing childish costumes in front of grown-ups, military men and convicts are laughable too. LOL Since Batman is from a kids comic, childish costumes are naturally acceptable. Different category. |

Oh, man whats gonna happen now, that Yoshino was shot? |

Where is the logic in thissymbv said: eminagnam said: And shounen manga is full of this kind of childish costumes too, so what's the problem?As I said, it is originally from a kids comic. Thus the childish costumes are natural. This anime is serious, and the characters had been also serious without childish stuff. Then suddenly they started to wear the childish costumes in previous episode. At that time it was understandable cuz it was televized to public. Probably they wore the costumes cuz kids were also watching then. But this time there was no info it was being televized, too. This is why I wondered "Was it being televized to public?" If it was televized, it is understandable they wore the costumes again. But if it was not televized, it is laughable cuz there is no need to wear such clothes just for military men who are adults on duty. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
eminagnam said: Serious? I think it is somewhat serious and somewhat not serious (look at the jokes). At least it is also the case in the manga, and as I said shounen manga is full of costume-wearing hero appearing in public. And this is really no different from seeing Batman wearing childish costume - which to be honest trouble me more as he keeps wearing such costume in more mature and serious (a lot more serious than Zetsuen) in those Graphic Novel that are clearly not meant for kids. This anime is serious, and the characters had been also serious without childish stuff. Then suddenly they started to wear the childish costumes in previous episode. eminagnam said: It does not matter if it is televised. The gambit relies on the gamble that they would just look at the costume and assumed the person who is wearing it is the same person who appeared on TV before. That is whoever wearing the armor suit is the Exodus Mage and whoever wearing the Heian Japan period costume is the Genesis Mage. So the costumes is important for the scheme.But this time there was no info it was being televized, too. This is why I wondered "Was it being televized to public?" If it was televized, it is understandable they wore the costumes again. But if it was not televized, it is laughable cuz there is no need to wear such clothes just for military men who are adults on duty. |

eminagnam said: Yamamoto mentioned the broadcast part is more about concern of reaction around the world and its leaders, but whether it is televised or not does not affect whether they should wear the costumes or not. It matters if it is televized or not. For, Yamamoto mentioned it in previous episode. Also if it does not matter, Hakaze would have worn the costume before the things began to be televized to public. eminagnam said: It boggles the mind to hear that you call those recent Batman works like The Dark Knight Rises as "comedy action" and Zetsuen is not a comedy where it has loads more comedy moments than the Batman movies or Batman graphic novels. I guess you must be laughing all the time when you watched The Dark Knight Rises and Batman Begins?BTW, you said earlier, "Don't see why that is not laughable based on your logic." I never said Batman is not laughable. I laughed a lot at Batman. Especially Joker is apparently laughable. Batman is a comedy action. Zetsuen is not a comedy. |

| So sad that next week is the last episode. I really enjoyed this episode |
 |
| Shit gets real! If they destroy the tree there wouldn't be any magic to heal Yoshino afterwards. But he looks alive in preview.. will Hakaze go back? |
