----------------------------------------
Damn, Evangeline looks good this episode.

I can see that Hakaze is still guilty a bit about what happened during that little time trip of her's. Otherwise, good fight in the air with the duel. Shit went down and hell, it's a bloody take over. Nice.

Oh nice to see Hakaze takes flight also and bringing it on. Nice.

Ah the good ol death in the penultimate episode(or not based on the preview for next week?)

Damn wished they would've aired this a 1 hour series finale instead of splitting it in half.

Ohh shit i'm guessing he's dead this time. iirc there isn't anyone on the ship who can heal him with magic and hakaze and the others are busy.

Sorry Yoshino if you survived you'll be bleeding to death...

It'll be interesting to see the next episode - really can't wait.

Wtf Okada why did you make it so that Yoshino gets shot? =_= Although I'm sure Yoshino won't die, I think he's suffered enough. It's just to make it more dramatic. It's the second time Mahiro has seen Yoshino almost die (well the first time I'm pretty sure Yoshino actually died). Poor Mahiro too, seeing your best friend so close to death twice must be somewhat traumatic, even if it's someone as strong as Mahiro.

I love the conversation between Mahiro and Hanemura ^^ they're a fun duo. The scene with Hakaze and Yoshino was meh. I don't think it's entirely necessary (since it wasn't in the manga) but I guess it's still a good addition. I'm glad neither of them were OOC, I kind of expected some romance drama from the preview so it's good that it wasn't what I thought :)

The fight was awesome nicely animated, very entertaining to watch. I can't believe the next episode is the finale! >< I really wonder what's going to happen to Yoshino.

Actually since they´re not following the manga in this ep, and Yoshino is said to be inspired in Shakeaspeare´s "Romeo" he has a great chance to die and join his "juliet"/Ophelia/Sycorax Aika. IMO that would suck, since Aika died for them to be alive and happy, for them to have a happy end, specially Yoshino.
Judging by his end in the manga, I wouldn't be surprised if he had an original anime end. Still I hope they follow the manga, I actually liked the last chapter a lot, specially Aika´s letters.

Only one more episode u.u
Overall, it was a good episode.
Mahiro is a good strategist.
I was not expecting Ypshino to be shot, and pretty close to the heart too. Nobody is there to help him, and Hakaze said she wouldn't help him either....
I hope they don't kill him.

Well that episode pissed me off. I enjoyed everything until Yoshino gets shot. I know some people think he is meant for Aika and if he dies they would be reunited in death, blah, blah, blah. I am a Hakaze fan, I want the happy ending for the living.

I look forward to next week!

I wanted an ending a little, just a little different from the manga (Manga ending was almost perfect), but killing yoshino definetly wasn't on mind.
Hope he is not dead. Otherwise, some of the good stuff from the ending of the manga will not make sense.

yah but he can be dying because of it, think about it, The tree gets destroyed so theres no way to instantly heal him with magic. And since they are so far out at sea they wouldnt be able to get back and treat him in time

Yoshino D;
Unless the Yoshino we see in the preview is a flashback?

Was it wrong that I was cracking up when he and Mahiro start threatening people on the ship whilst wearing scuba suits and masks?
Random but it was also amusing how in the beginning Samon and Hayakawa are talking via wood blocks.

gahhh why shoot Yoshino and go all cliffy on us like that?? I'm sure Hakaze will see it and rush to heal him before Hanemura destroys the tree. Though that'll blow their cover, so who knows what'll happen..Hope they just did it for drama and they'll end up following the manga's end.

I really like how Tetsuma was the one to replace Hanemura in the fight. Fitting, since he needs to put up a good fight to make it look legit, because Hakaze always teased him growing up and he's carried some resentment towards her. And she even egged him on, I like that they did that.

wow... Yoshino)x now that's what i call a plot twist, didn't see that one coming at all... doubt he'll die though, Hakaze will probably save him again(?). but it seems like the tree of genesis(?)/exodus(?) really wants him dead... poor Mahiro, has to witness the death of his best friend againD; Samon was right to not include Yoshino in the fight, its always like Yoshino is there to change everything/get in the way of things~ hope he doesn't die though >< anyways can't wait till next week's episode!

Fantastic setup for a possibly remarkable finale. I can't really see how Yoshino is going to survive unless the bullet just grazed him.

Hakaze still is the love of this anime! <3

Bumped my overall anime rating to a 9/10 after this episode!

Great episode. Is this show really going to end on episode 24? There is no way they can give it a good ending in one episode from where they are. If it is ending I hope there will be a season 2.

this is the thing that I see as something that would bother them until the end.. this has been something like a theme for the show (World vs one single character), and them making changes in the anime to push forth with this may be worth the risk.. they better make up with something that the manga did for the ending though..

Yoshino better not die! Him and Mahiro have to read Aika's letters together or it'll be depressing.

And this episode was rather casually funny. I loved it when Mahiro was trying to pump up Hanemura and telling him stuff like, "I got your back" while at the same time hitting him or pinching him lol It's nice how Mahiro's more honest with his feelings, but seriously, they need to stop emotionally traumatizing the poor guy.

And what's worse is Yoshino just decided on a new beginning of making himself involved with people that are important to him. Now he gets shot? If he dies, I'm certainly not going to be happy. Besides, even if they use the Romeo + Juliet card, it doesn't exactly make sense seeing this was based on a mix of Hamlet and The Tempest. As far as I know, Hamlet died in a battle with Laertes, and neither Yoshino or Mahiro will be fighting. The Tempest isn't a tragedy, so really even if the anime isn't following the manga, it shouldn't end in a tragedy.

And just a question for all the manga readers (if you don't mind), can you tell what the ending is in the manga and how it differs from the anime ending that will occur?

lol @ Mahiro for for ripping KajiKaji's character's letter. lol @ Mizuki-san's character.

Their talk before the final battle is long, and both friends just wanted to be involved. Not just 2 roles getting switched, that Yoshino-san's character also switched with one of them. Cannot wait for what was said in the preview.

The dialogue in this episode was really something, from the talk between Yoshino and Hakaze to the battle strategy (and pretty much everything in between) in was kept entertained.

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.

i love shows/movies that are not afraid to kill main characters. i actually love it. and it would be kind of nice to have this ending because it would give me a lot feels tbh and i liked your idea that yoshino would join aika in death, but... i can't imagine it. this show had a lot of plot twists, but i can't imagine that they would kill yoshino. i actually don't see the point in doing so because the manga has a real ending (i haven't read it yet and i don't know any spoilers about the ending, fortunately, but that's what i heard).

well, but i have to admit that i sat there with my mouth open when yoshino got shot. it took me by surprise because this whole episode just seemed like a slow buildup for the actual finale.

i'm curious how they'll end everything with just one episode.

AND I WANT TO KNOW WHO HANEMURA'S GIRLFRIEND IS, GODDAMNIT. it drives me nuts. all these little hints everywhere, ughh. i mean there aren't that many possibilities and i don't think that they'll introduce a new character all of a sudden, but... i just want to know who it is.

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.

Evangeline looks so damn hot in the outfits she wears. I wonder why no one in the cast has banged her yet. Hakaze looked pretty good too in her bikini at the pool. I was laughing when Mahiro tore up that heartfelt letter, that took Megumu 3 days to write in front, of his face as if it was garbage. Mahiro sure does love to pick on Megumu often - even though his reason for tearing up that letter was a good one.

That plan of Mahiro is really good. Everything worked according to plan -- until on of the crew shot Yoshino in the back. Who ever shot him better hope that they can shoot Mahiro since he's gonna get a good ass beating if Mahiro gets to them.
