Well that was a pretty good/surprising episode, hopefully Sayaka doesn't end up dieing. Hmmm, maybe senkawa gets his body back in the next episode it seems from the preview/name.

ARGH! Cliffhanger...
Ok, now I see why Shyamalan obsesses about "chosen ones," but he still seems a little over-the-top. Good thing is, doesn't look like he gets Nakasugi in the next ep. Since she only just became a really important character, I don't think it would make sense to kill her off now... maybe if they had more than just three episodes left.
Something that annoys me is that Birdy didn't share the info on the Ryunka with Tsutomu. I mean, it would make sense telling him because he's gotten so close to Nakasugi; could make explanations easier, and put her in safer hands. Ah well, all hail the common plot device.

I'm pretty sure Birdy just wanted to confirm 100% (which she has now) that Natsuki is in fact the Ryunka. So the common plot device will come next episode when she fails to inform Tsutomu of her discovery and attempt to do everything while he is asleep.

BTW awesome episode, on of the best so far.

Best episode so far, with an awesome character and script development at the same time. Just great, I can't wait for next ep.

Pretty good episode, one of the best. Nakasugi being the Ryunka has been obvious for a while, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens now.

That old woman was such an idiot! How could that little girl have strangled her grandfather, a man twice her weight and probably four times as strong. Some people almost deserve to die.
That being said, lots of drama in the next episode, I can't wait!

That date developed it pretty well now the whole "gotta stop the riunka thing" makes it even more intense.

One thing I find about this anime, I mean two things.. The ending seems to be somewhat unique, if not funny. The way Tsutomu skips gives the impression that he had walking difficulties or leg injuries, as though he had a broken leg or a twisted ankle. Secondly, Arita Shion's accent is rather cute but after hearing it a dozen times, it actually feels annoying. What's with her..



Hopefully, Shyamalan will die by the end of the series.

Um... hm. Didn't expect them to die.
So, there was our "calm before the storm" episode. Now for the final three, which are always considerably more awesome than the rest of the series. Let's see:
Nakasugi isRyunka. She'll kill anyone who dares defy her (whether she wants to or not), has a hair trigger temper, the power to vaporize people, and her opponent is... Birdy, who is borderline normal.
I'd like to see her fight her way out of this one.
Just my two cents.

Oh shit, I didn't expect that kiss or "lay off" from her this episode. Damn.

Damn that kiss sure came out quite nice and unexpected for this series actually! But fuck the dude who killed her grandpa.. fuck him really... and the ending was pretty fucked up as well! Well things are definitely getting interesting, lets see what's next!

Yay, a kiss scene, makes any anime better.

Interesting ending. It doesn't look like there will be romance with Birdy. Would be kind of hard since they share the same body. Looking forward to see how they interact when he gets his body back.

Dammit just when Sayaka and Tsutomu had their nice date and the kiss...
Rip the grandpa only wanting the best for his granddaughter Sayaka. I see now why Shaymalan is so obsessed with the chosen one thing.

Shaman Hammer has a bad case of the Chosen One Flu. RIP Gramps! He was pretty much okay and had a good heart....which now....isn't beating anymore. MC does pretty well in a normal school kid mode. And Yoshie....well ...... she said some bad things and lost her head. Then we come to Nakasugi... the Kiss! Her song this week: Moon Martin's "Bad Case of Loving You".
