It was pretty good, although things are still pretty confusing. The bgm when Takatsuki fought was awesome.

Is it me or did they copy-paste the same face on most of the main characters?

Hopefully this'll get better, cause right now the OP is x10 better than the show itself...

I'm used to tossing about plot-related material left and right and not explaining themselves, there are some very good writers who do the same thing (then wrap them together and make you go holy cr@p!)

But the characters are WAY too stereotypical, their speech is abstract, their reasoning is too simple, and some of their actions simply too unrealistic.

Seriously, the setting being a nice idea and all but... teenage fangirls writing fanfiction can come up with better script than this -_-

Bad pacing, there's way too much going on at the same time/too fast. But I mean the anime itself hasn't been THAT bad, not to the point of dropping anyways.

I wonder what happened to Misao she was seemingly destroyed (but doubt it) which mand whatever connection she has with Tomo break (when he floated and was in pain).

I wonder if he is still a handler?

you all missing the main point here.... HE DOESNT REMMEMBER.... but what is that?


from the way they say it its like the world died and we are seing a second course.... kanade misao and tomo are connected with more than this... and it seems that tomo and misao dont remmeber anythign and kanade is keeping it in her self... remember she cried the night before this.... also she is really emotional about tomo getting hurt (she said father forgive me....)

Also this light guy said siding with the devil will only bring ... disaster...

I think the standard light vs dark roles are switched in this where the Light fallowers are bad guys, and the Dark fallowers are the good guys.

the episode is better than the first one, hopefully they clarify a few things fast because the anime only has 13 episode.

Haha, I thought that too.
Especially that guy w/ blonde hair had a weird part of his hair just sticking out randomly like Tomo's.

I think everyone looks the same somehow. xD

Shit, that was awesome. I didn't expect this but this episode was great. From the intro to the preview! Loved the synthesized voice and Takatsuki. Now I'm really looking forward to more.

episode was great, one from few anime, where the girl as a result is envying either he is bashing the boy on the head or she is offended. Kanade, Minao, Shuri - kawaii, fun and normal. Rest of girls were ok too :)
Graphics - everything looks very well, the scene in the forest looked beautifully, animation OK
Level ecchi at the moment is acceptable.
And slowly it's brightening up what goes in the keynote topic, from the stretch to the stretch for it will be getting more and more curiously, I'm waiting for fights.

Good episode, actually made me want to watch more of it, even with the somewhat confusing plot.

When they were talking to the old man, and kept mentioning the sprial, all I could think about was "rasengan" from Naruto lol.. they said rasen like 8 times in 1 minute lol

This is weird. I can see it either getting really good somehow, or failing miserably.

It really seems like author was trying to make some epic series with loads of twists and cramming in as much variety as he could, but it's ended up way TOO crammed. If it was a 26 episoder it may be passable, there would be some space to breath, but as it is there is no flow at all. It just cuts to the next bit.

I think I'll put this on-hold, and if later reviews persuade me enough, I may start again.

"Gods"
"Devils"
"Mecha/Shadows"
"Ghosts"

christ there is a lot to handle in this show so far....

Pretty interesting though there needs to be more explanation... I am however interested to see how Misao has become a human sacrifice for the Asura Machina as it was hinted that this is the root to what "projected being" is.

But so far so good on keeping my wanting to see whats next.

uzumaki lol

so this time spiral and end of the world mumble jumble is not impressing me much.

pretty boring and generic by my standard. I can't see why this has an higher rating than Shangri-la...

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

They certainly keep throwing in a bunch of new things, without explaining any of it, but I think it's kind of interesting. I'm glad they're telling us things as Tomo learns about them. I don't like when they show different scenes to explain it to the viewers, but not the main character. As long as they explain everything by the last episode, I don't have a problem with it.

I really enjoyed the first part of the episode when they all woke up in bed together. Takatsuki is kind of getting on my nerves though. Maybe its mostly her voice, but I don't like the whole "I'm so shy around others, but really I carry a dark secret and can save the world!". It's dull.

Okay well I wouldn't say this is my favorite anime but it is okay so far. I would like to see it get more interesting though that ep although had funny parts but it just wasn't as good as the first ep or even since I watched Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka ep 2 before this I would have to say Akane ep 2 was better then Asura Cryin' Ep 2 was and they aren't even in the same genre but okay.

Kanade broke into his house and tried to murder him while he was sleeping an episode ago, now she wants to "protect him", despite no development or progression in their interactions? This anime just throws events and information at you at a million miles a minute, but never stops to provide context behind any of it. Can't watch any more of this.
