| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ya, show yourself Wamiya. Being Suzuhara is suffering.. I don't think she should be scared though but rather try to be more confident. Go Shogun-sama~. I'm glad she is able to use those seals though. Ya, she is gaining control and gotta keep that title. I'm somewhat proud of her this episode. Shit just went down. |

| The three of them gathering again! The final day of festival with the competition thing. Meeting that enemy is intense. He has new foreign exchange student shiki. It seems like he controlled her in his side. Using those dead soul to make a peace world? lol~, too bad he said that name so that she's remembered. Wow, did she "reveal her trueness (this is what I don't get)", which is bad, with the anger? I hope she's ok. ... Edit: wait, is the next ep. final already? Interesting, there's highschool arc?

| Next week is the last episode and so the climax of volume 5 will be in the next episode. Now it seems obvious that they skip the whole volume 6. :( This series should have like 18-20 episodes instead of 12. |
| Mind putting a spoiler of what that final scene is in the last novel? I am really curious especially when you say it won't be animated. Send me a pm if you don't want to put the spoiler up here. Thanks. |

Send me a pm if you don't want to put the spoiler up here. Thanks. I got curious as well, could somebody put a spoiler of what will happen on volume 6 of the novel. I searched, but I couldn't find neither the raws or translations of the novel. |
 |
| Would like to know the end too. Can somebody pm it to me? :) And i liked the scene when they were in the haunted house. |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |

| One of the previous posters PM the raw book to me, but I don't understand the language unfortunately, so I was hoping someone who does could send me a PM with a short sentence or two in English what the final scene was. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

| OK, I've just read the last couple of lines at the end of vol.6 for the last scene. Don't get your expectation too high though: |

| I think many of you already know this: The official website states that the next episode which will be aired on NicoNico on June 1, 2013 is the last episode. "2013/5/25 次回最終12話のニコニコ生放送先行配信は6月1日(土)23：30から！ " Source: http://rdg-anime.jp/ As of now (only one episode left), they have 1/4 of volume 5 and the whole of volume 6 to be covered. I'm not sure how they're going to put all of these into 25 mins. So, I GUESS they will skip volume 6 but I can't really confirm. Look at what they did with episode 8: they could expand just 1/4 of volume 3 and a few first page of volume 4 and made them into one episode. But with episode 9, they compressed almost all of volume 4 into episode 9. Well, anything could happen. Below is a very BRIEF summary of what's gonna happen. |

| Damn, how long are the novels ? The anime seems so slow paced I would never have thought we had covered so much. Doesn't seem to be much of a story in the end :(. What a waste of potential. |

Triskel said: Actually there is a lot of character depiction, and the main theme of the novel (and thus the story) about the personal growth of a young girl is very prominent. You can actually even see that main theme just by looking at the title of each episode - The First Errand, The First Make-up, The First Excursion, The First Rejection.. All are from the point of view of Izumiko. The fact that it looks slow-paced does NOT equal to that it does not have a story.Damn, how long are the novels ?

Triskel said: Damn, how long are the novels ? The anime seems so slow paced I would never have thought we had covered so much. Doesn't seem to be much of a story in the end :(. What a waste of potential. The novel is just long enough that it won't confuse you with the plot like anime does. (Each volume of the hardcover edition has around 300+pages.) Here is how they adapt the novel into 11 anime episodes : Volume 1 = Ep1, Ep2, Ep3 Volume 2 = Epilogue of Ep3, Ep4, Ep5 Volume 3 = Ep6, Ep7, Ep8 Volume 4 = Epilogue of Ep8, Ep9 Volume 5 = Ep10, Ep11, ? Volume 6 = ? Actually I don't want to give my opinion about this anime until I finish all episodes but when I read your comment I couldn't help but agree. "What a waste of potential" >> is exactly my thought. RDG is a best-selling novel series written by an award-wining fantasy novelist, Ogiwara Noriko. It's not an original story created by P.A. Works. The fact that so many people who watch this anime get confused is MAINLY NOT because they're not familiar with Japanese folklore and culture but because it has a poor screenwriting (is this the word?). Even Japanese people who don't read the novel (if you can, go and read their comments in Japanese web communities, twitter, or even RDG DVD reviews in Amazon.JP) get confused. It's a shame when thinking that this series has a nice cast of voice actors, got a decent character design and great music (even I ended up making a pre-order for its ost cd), got a great animation quality, and most of all has a best-selling novel as a material for its storyline but fails to deliver its full potential to the audience. What a pity... symbv said: Actually there is a lot of character depiction, and the main theme of the novel (and thus the story) about the personal growth of a young girl is very prominent.

| I think the anime will just focus on the School Festival and the fight and skip all those incidents that involve new (or newish) characters in vol.6. Those can read a bit like anti-climax after the big confrontation at the school festival. The explanation of himegami and the result of who got the world heritage may be changed and moved to the school festival. That should be just enough for one episode to cover without losing the integrity and impact of the drama for the climax (which is the school festival). And I would agree with minuetto that there is issue with the screenwriting in the adaptation. People in Japan also get confused (and thus bored) by the developments in anime. That said, I also have the feeling that even if the screenwriting is done better it will still look slow paced to many people, simply because this is how it is written in the novel. |

| I get what you both mean. I didn't mean it in a ''it's a bad story or novel'', it's just that I was expecting so much more ''mystery'' from the first episodes and even though I got the idea that it would be centered around personal growth (Izumiko), it never came out as a good ''coming-of-age'' story. So I kept expecting some twist or supernatural something that never came and I'm disappointed that six novels only covered that much ''mystery''. I understand that reading the novels, you probably grow to love the characters a lot more and they probably have more depth to them. In the anime, even the romance was lacking some stamina (it never felt like ''kyaa'' even though there were things happening or being said that strongly hinted romance) and the characters interactions were VERY confusing sometimes. I agree that this as much more to do with screenwriting than anything else and I always felt as though every episode had a great ''atmosphere'' but never bloomed (frustrating). All in all, I'd say it lacked power and clarity (lots of confusion). I feel let down in the end :p. I did like Izumiko but I don't feel that the next episode just ending on ''well Izumiko has grown and can take care of herself'' will ever be good enough. I would have liked a better closure, on either romance or some supernatural stuff (things Himegami hinted). I get the feeling that I'll get neither. And OK, I'm just rambling since the final episode is not even out :p. Pardon me for that. |

| I agree that the screenwriting is not great. I actually expected a lot from the adaptation because the author, Ogiwara(?), had written the fantasy novel I'd liked very much—Dragon Sword and Wind Child. The writing was great in that one (It's translated to English), and after the great adaptation of SSY, I was hoping RDG could have the same... But yeah...squeezing 6 volumes of NOVELS, most likely more pages than SSY's novel, into a 12 ep is more than pushing it...But they're only putting 5 volumes...? Or most likely thinking of making a special ep/OVA... But still...=.= |
 "Belief is the death of intelligence." ~Robert Anton Wilson~ |
| its gonna end next ep? really!? i'm disappointed.... |
| Shit just got real. |
| Good episode. What just happened at the end? One more episode to go. |
 |
| It took 11 episode, but........... ISH got REAL!!! Believe in yourself Izumiko-chan |
| Only one episode left?! I can't belive this series have only 12 episodes! Want second season! |
| I've been so torn on how I feel about this anime. First episode I was a bit hesitant, then episode 2-5 were impressive. Then they arrive at school and the twin arc went in a direction I just didn't like. Overall I think I will rate the show a 7. It has amazing art which saves it for me personally, some of the characters are at times very likeable("at times"). It has so much potential with they premise, but it just doesn't use it to its advantage in my opinion. The early episodes seemed like a lot of dark dangerous things were lurking in the shadows, and they were but they just didn't do a good job of maintaining that atmosphere. For me personally I think the whole school atmosphere being such a major part of the plot takes away from it more then anything, and the fact I just don't like the twins characters. I would watch a second season, especially since I just don't see the ending next week not being rushed. Is there any news of it continuing past episode 12 with an OVA or second season? |
