I uneasy about Shrade! I did not want to see him die! I love it too! I was shocked when I discovered that Amata and Kagura are the same person! oO
Even thought it could be twins ... but they were fragmented by Mikage! He really has no limits!
I fear he will take Zessica!
They may want to kill me if they want, but I wanted to fall in love Mikono by Kagura, he can be rude and crude, but it has its moments "cute" when he is with her. uahsuahs
Poor thing, just because it expresses feelings to the contrary. auhsuahsaus

Next ep is called "Song of legend".
I think that Shrade will die next episode but not before achieving his dream and possibly doing a hard blow on the ennemy side.

i tho Zess was dead already... not like i wanted it but just being crushed like that = goner
then that Mykage appears and say= no no u can't die yet >>>not before u fulfill ur promise to me<<<
which means ... what ? her life will end anyway ?? cuz when the work is done the tool will be useless :|

as for Amata and Kagura ... it looks like they will be fused in one way or another

what i was thinking about is... their mother going to awaken and get some role in the final episodes ?
being a memory and a statue closed in some container for the whole series is no fun :D

Not sure but I'd take a guess that Alicia might play some larger role in the coming episodes. She's a pretty integral character even without saying anything, plus her seiyuu is Tanaka Rie, so there's no reason to waste that LOL.

You know i don't enjoy watching Evol as much as i enjoy watching Sousei no Aquarion. I keep watching it because it is Aquarion. From the first episode i already hate Mikono.

After some time Mikono got her own power and i started to accept her as a character, but this episode lol. WTF Amata got owned by Kagura, and you can only cries, like damsel in distress. Can not even decide who you want to be Amata or Kagura. Bitch! i dislike girl who can not decide. Yet when ever Amata around Zessica she got jealous and such.

I mean it is so painful to watch the characters and everything. The only thing that keep me going is only Aquarion lol. I like to see the gattai and new attack each week. Other than that god... Evol must have a large fan hater based lol espeially Mikono.

Finally Mykage is going to reveal the promise that he's making Zessica fulfill, been waiting to see what this is all about. Hope it doesn't end up doing anything bad for her. Ugh smh at that reaction from Amata when he saw her again... seriously? After all that had happened?

=/ Doesn't look like Shrade is going to get through this alive, its gunna be sad when he completes his song.

I've been stalking this forum and Animesuki for awhile now, but I felt obligated to register to bring up a point:

If Mikono and Amata did not say each other's name repeatedly in typical anime fashion, would you hate them nearly as much as you do right now? After following Bleach and, like everyone else, being driven to insanity by "Kurosaki-kun!" I wonder if the writing/directing choice made Orihime, a passive character a la Miknon, more hated than she deserved. The Mikono hate, given the show's detail of her character type and how that has shifted, is unjustified if we look past "Amata-kun!"

And frankly, I don't get the Zessica love. She chooses the most ridiculous ways to express affection to Amata, who is obviously Mikono-sexual. On that note, why not have a shot with Shrade, Cayene, or even Mallory, all of whom are clearly NOT involved in a 12,000 year old relationship?

As for Amata, we know he's a bit dull now because Kagura has his mojo. Seeing Amata struggle past that should elicit more sympathy, not less.

Looking forward to ep. 23.

I don't know about some people, but I'm not overly fond of Mikono's character because she doesn't really do anything. I don't hate her character at all, but I don't love her either- she has definitely gotten a bit better since episode 1, but after episode 22 her character left a bad taste in my mouth. She went on this journey with Fudo and it seemed like she would finally go do something, but doesn't... instead when Kagura and Amata are fighting all she does is sit on top of the tower like a prize and yell at them... why didn't she try to do something? Then she lets herself get kidnapped by Kagura without even putting up one ounce of a fight... she could have kicked, screamed, something! But no- she just does nothing. I'm hoping that she will do something in these remaining episodes- like I said I don't nearly dislike her as much as I did at the beginning of the series and I'm hoping that something amazing will become of her character.

What did you mean by Zessica love? Do you mean you don't understand why people love Zessica or do you mean you don't understand why Zessica loves Amata?

I personally don't love Zessica's character as much as I did at the beginning, but I still like her character a bit.
I wouldn't say she expresses her love in ridiculous ways- she does it like any normal person would. She confesses, gives him a kiss, tries to start her own 12,000 year legend with Amata... how is any of this ridiculous, I don't understand? Although if I had my way, I would have rather her not have fallen in love with Amata because she becomes so love struck with him that she lost a lot of that Zest that made me like her character so much at the beginning of the series.

Now for Amata... well you're right- he's dull and boring. He's completely Mikono-sexual and it just annoys me to no end. I don't really sympathize with his character because to be honest, I just can't bring myself too.

As for Kagura... I don't hate or dislike his character- he's just there I guess, lol xP

My favorite character is Sazanka- there needs to be more screen time given to this rotten girl :D - I'm slightly looking forward to the next episode, I'm just hoping it will be a lot better then this episode >>

Fair enough, I'm puzzled by the lack of resistance toward Kagura but he may just have too great powers of charm for her to resist for all we know.
What did you mean by Zessica love? Do you mean you don't understand why people love Zessica or do you mean you don't understand why Zessica loves Amata?

The former. Mikono is established as a character with significant room to improve, while Zessica can only go downward and subsequently recover. However, she has only gone downhill, and it's not bad writing in my opinion, it's actually a very realistic decline. I think Zessica is very relateable, but should not be loved.
I personally don't love Zessica's character as much as I did at the beginning, but I still like her character a bit.
I wouldn't say she expresses her love in ridiculous ways- she does it like any normal person would. She confesses, gives him a kiss, tries to start her own 12,000 year legend with Amata... how is any of this ridiculous, I don't understand? Although if I had my way, I would have rather her not have fallen in love with Amata because she becomes so love struck with him that she lost a lot of that Zest that made me like her character so much at the beginning of the series.

Her methods are not as ridiculous as the situations she chooses to initiate them in. You would never guess she was a professional combatant.
Now for Amata... well you're right- he's dull and boring. He's completely Mikono-sexual and it just annoys me to no end. I don't really sympathize with his character because to be honest, I just can't bring myself too.

And I do think that was part of the idea behind Evol's writing. Apollo, being an a-typical well-done take on an anime main hero, set the bar really high and any reincarnation or whatever was automatically going to been completely overshadowed, so the writers took away Amata's charisma and made Kagura to emphasize that shadow and drive the plot.

Amata was deliberately set at a low bar from the beginning, but I have a lot of respect for his "Mikono is sexy because she's Mikono, not because fate says so" speech. He and Cayene are the only characters who actually appreciate her for who she is now. Not even my favorite character, Fudo, does this.

I imagine Mykage wants Zessica to seduce Amata in front of Mikono to push her to Kagura, so Mykage, Kagura, and Mikono can have some perverse gattai meant to convert Altair into New Atlantia or something. My hope is that Amata will deliver a rebuff to Zessica that not only makes Mikono faint from saying "Amata-kun!" for the umpteenth time but snaps Zessica out of her demented outlook.
As for Kagura... I don't hate or dislike his character- he's just there I guess, lol xP

I hope I'm not the only one who finds his hax to be a benefit to the writing. I can't wait to see how that power works against Izumo's.
My favorite character is Sazanka- there needs to be more screen time given to this rotten girl :D - I'm slightly looking forward to the next episode, I'm just hoping it will be a lot better then this episode >>

I hope Sazanka, Cayene, and Yunoha join Spada with their own Gerpald. :)

Wow Amata you could care even a little that Zessican survived. Why does she even like this douchebag? Oh yeah he's too busy fighting himself (literally) to really care about anything.

I freaking hate Mikage though. Him and his hacks powers.

Hm. I guess Zessica did survive. LOL how could i possibly forget that she has her powers? I wonder why she hadn't used it before until the recent episodes, because that sure as hell would've helpful when they were fighting the abductors.

If Kagura and Amata are technically the same person, I don't understand why Kagura has more right than Amata to take Mikono. They're both essentially Apollo, so besides the similarity between Kagura and Apollo's personalities, there's not real reason for Kagura to say that Amata and Mikono aren't fated...right? Meh, I haven't watched the prequel so I don't really know anything.

I hate that they make characters so irritating and grotesque like Kagura, since I know that later on you have to swallow the crap that they're actually good in their hearts and some sort of "let's be friends and understand each other crap". At least with Mykage you know he's plain eveil and he will die or at least fail. Yeah, I know Amata is a complete wimp and Mikono is the damsel in distress too so they don't win any points either.

More humour and less drama please. And more Mix and Andy.

Everyone complaining about Kagura but to me Amata is a far worse character. All he does is shout Mikono-san, Mikono-san, Mikono-san, Mikono-san!!!!! Even he's personality is so dam weak. He didn't even answer Zessica's feelings properly, what a ass. Also I feel like they butchered Zessica's character as well, she started out strong and fun now she's just another weak girl..

I want to kill her all night long too. Fuck, this series is just sexual innuendos all day long, its like it was written by a sex-crazes teenage boy or something. Of course, in this case he literally meant he wanted to bang her all night long but still.

It's a shame Amata is an uberjobber. If he was more ruthless or competent, then Kagura could've been killed off much earlier, radically improving the quality of this anime.
