Birdy waited all that time to tell Tsutomu about Nakasugi(failing twice in the process) only to spit it out bluntly in the morning? So disappointing.

I was expecting a kiss between the two at the subway or saying goodbye at Shamaran's boat, unfortunately it didn't happen. I thought Tsutomu would also blush when Nakasugi mentioned Bonnie & Clyde as 'lovers'.

Nejula also is always late when warning people... "Y'know, they postponed Ryunka's destruction, but guess you've already had a fight with your partner, oh well..."; "Yk'now, there's this bird-spy-drone-thing I killed, it has some voice recording of the bad guy and I think you know who he is, but it isn't like you've already let the girl elope with him, right?". Gawddammit.

Ya that was bullshit when she left with Shyamalan out of the blue. She could have just let him have the company since she knows nothing about his real need for just the Ryunka (sp?). It would have been sick if the aliens game Tsutomu a special suit like Birdy. Then he could help fight and save her.

Nakazugi was dumb to go with Shyamalan. IDC if no one knew he was evil, he's still creepy.

If Tsutomu got a suit that's anything like Birdy's, he'd loose his chaces to get any girl. I've already complained about this...

I was waiting for a kiss on the docks there, but no, not even a hug. >.<

Wonder what they're gonna do with just two more episodes? Looks like cliffhanger ending, with season 2 just continuing the story. At the pace BTMD moves, don't expect a showdown on the cruiser until maybe halfway through episode 13.

Im quite unsure how anyone can fall asleep mid conversation with a voice inside your own head. I know he had been up for 3 days but cmon...
That and choosing to go with Shamaylan had me going WHY!?

That's what I'm calling a plot. Can't wait to see what will happen next, it's getting extremely interesting.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

well i dont blame her for doing that. considering that she is stressin out from having been blamed for her father's death, random blackouts, pesky relatives wanting inheritance, and she still a kid. she probably thought hes a good guy. of course shell find out how it really is.

What is annoying me is the fact that she is already supposed to be dead and it seems that is not being addressed. I hope this comes into play later, maybe the deity will use as an argument for her death.

This is a good point. If removing the Ryunka kills the host it shouldn't matter since she'd be dead if it wasn't for the Ryunka.

I can also understand why should would want to get away for a while after her grandfather died and whatnot.

Well.. Tsutomu should be dead too, right? The only reason he's not dead is because Birdy saved him, after killing him :)
Only two more episodes remaining of this series, I hope season 2 does start in January, I'd hate for there to be any delays..

Shion's preview was even more crazy and funny than usual, I laughed my ass off!

I thought the the other altarian with the parrot thing found her still alive in the car after the accident and put the ryunka in the blood, which made her heal very fast? And she said she was dead, because she feels like a different person *effects from ryunka*.

I dunno, that's what I thought, good episode tho.

Arita Shion sounds cute as usual..



I think pairing up Tsutomu with Birdy is much better than with the unstable Ryunka.

Damn, this anime is underrated. This plot is pretty expansive for 13 episodes, and it doesn't suffer from plotholes or terrible characters.

He's a bit of a stalker isn't he... well he finally got his body back and is back wearing glasses... really seems like a totally different character now! Well that ending doesn't promise much, I'm sure she'll be in trouble! Lets see what's next.

Good episode, didn't expect him to get his body back so soon.

What will keep Birdy and Tsutomu together during the second season.

All this drama with Senkawa not believing Birdy and Nakasugi going away with the worst person possible.
Surprised he already got his body back, I wonder how that's going to work in the second season.

Why not just let Tsutomu sleep in the pod till all this is over; there is no reason to wake him up already other than for the plot.

Guess none of Sayaka's relatives told her they respected her grandfather, because apparently that was all that was needed.

Everyone was acting incredibly stupid just to advance the plot this episode.

Don't think Birdy telling him before the date about the suspicions would have a better outcome. Kinda understand why Tsutomu is so upset over Sayaka being Ryunka seeing that not long ago he was killed and has to deal with all this alien shit just like her, at least he got his body back.

Looks like:
1. MC going to have to die to get back into Birdy or we won't have a series
2. MC will go White Knight to protect his love interest
3. Who in their right mind would name a cruise ship Lost Bird????
4. Bonnie and Clyde? Here is the car

This is the dumbest Tsutomu has been so far. I know he was written to be intentionally dense but damn. And Birdy's prediction of his reaction came true. Plus he still acts like he can protect Nakasugi even though he's no longer sharing a body with Birdy. His naïveté is laughable. But he's just a kid so his behavior makes sense

Also he and Birdy lacked communication and whenever Birdy actually wanted to tell him anything important, the story was designed to prevent it. I hate when stories are written like this. But I guess it's to set up some big action scenes later
