He's obviously pansexual (in b4 Akio!). I wear pink stuff and I am not gay. Just saying. Would you be willing to dye your hair pink and white? |
| (◕ᴥ◕し) Hello! Did you know? Barnacles have the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom. |
| The world "gay" seems to be overused nowadays. I don't think Sanetoshi is GAY just because of his hair color. Come on, Sho and Kanba, they have red and blue hair, so do you think they are gays too? This show is not a completely serious show so the color of the hair does not mean anything much. In fact, I see Sanetoshi as a quite cool character. I bet he has much more important role in this show |
 |
| Oh wow! I would have hardly ever guessed those girls were friends of Himari's, much less real!! Now that's a twist for you! I feel like this whole episode was a giant mindfuck, and Himari is so dense I do not even... Seeing that the library is important brings new light to the 'Penguin Drum' being Ringo's diary seeing as how it is also a book. Although that's the only connection I can make, I know it's an important thing to notice// Sanetoshi is sexy, I'm so glad he finally showed up! He doesn't seem like a bad guy, but from all of these povs I'm thinking he probably is, but really, is it just me or is it that in anime Lucifer always sexy~?-w- But AHHH!! Holy ass!! I feel awful for being so memorized in this episode I forgot about Shou~;-; aelove said: and that boy is so kanba. ^This. |

| You can't say he's fully gay since he already attempted to kiss Himari near the end. If he kisses a guy later on, then thoughts will pretty much change. For some reason, the way he poses in the opening reminds me way too much of Dewey Novak from Eureka 7. |
 |
| Now THIS is why I love Ikuhara Kunihiko. |
Raven_Shinobi said: You mean Pinggroup, right? I thought I had already pointed out the Himari's hat came from Penguin Force in that screencap I posted earlier. It would also go better with the above/below theories already posted (with "above" being male/birds/sky/light/pingcorp and "below" being female/fish/abyss/dark/penguin force).1idd0kun said: 2ch agree that Himari's "fated one" is Mario Natsume. According to the credits, this character is voiced by Aranami Kazusa, and folks at 2ch recognize the voice, and if there's something they know about is voice actors, so I'm inclined to believe in their assessment, at least for now. Good find! If Mario is related to Masako then he might be the Penguin Hat figure of the Penguin Force. He also might be the one that Masako reports to and is the one who actually has a beef with Kanba and Masako is only acting on his orders, we'll find out in the next episode. Also note that the stuff Masako is using comes from Kiga, not Penguin Force. |

Zeando said: Probably from the LN. It's running a little ahead of the anime. The spoilers for the first volume, which covered up to this episode, have been floating around for a while, so I guess that those spoilers are from volume 2. And no, I don't know how many episodes they cover, and I'm not checking wither.furuuru said: thanks for the warning :(to all, DONT SEE THIS ANIME'S CHARACTER LIST IN MAL you will get spoiler who's Himari fated person, I'm deadly serious.

| I got a TON of information and still wanted more. Before Himari was really a mannequin in my eyes. It's nice to see that (besides her substandard health) that she's not perfect and does have a real personality. Honestly, this episode was so mesmerizing that I completely forgot about the Sho being hit by a car or the diary being torn in half. Now I wonder, does Ringo have something that doesn't belong to her? Just a thought, a nagging one though.  |

I don't think anyone knows who is Himari actual fated person. Fans have edited Jp Wiki page based on elements (in the credits) let there by Ikuhara because he wanted to. He could all the same be trolling (or rather playing) with the fans. For those who think they've been spoiled, consider you're following what creator wanted you to believe. Correct or not is left to make clear. |

She didn't outright said her character was Himari's soul-mate but it's implied enough to make 99% sure. That's the story. Now you all can accept it (I did) or refuse to believe it until is made explicit in the show itself. It's up to you guys I know it's pointless to argue and I'm not talking to you , but he looked younger than current himari to be himari's soulmate they would have to be around the same age |

I'm really looking foward to the next episode. |

I'm really looking foward to the next episode. Exactly what danielkun said. We don't know if the blond boy/girl who appears in the Aquarium is Mario. We don't know either if he is Himari's soul mate. Because unless he/she start speaking we can't link Aranami to him/her. And even if we did, wouldn't he has more to do with PoC than Himari. It all goes down to the question "is Princess of the Crystal a different person from Himari"? If the answer is yes, then there is a chance the fruit of destiny scene in the Broiler isn't Himari memory, rather the Princess of the Crystal one. She was the one to share the fruit of destiny with someone and could now be using Himari to find him/her back. If the answer is no, Himari IS the PoC, then Himari does have a soul mate whose she can't remember. If it is Mario, then the voice in that scene should be Aranami's. I'm not familiar with this seiyuu much, so I tried to compare with some of her previous work. And failed. If anyone is interested in trying : http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm13616364 It's a seiyuu strong point to be able to modify her voice at will however ... Hopefully there are people here with better hear than mine :) |
| Slightly boring episode as compared to previous episodes. I'm dying to know what happened to Sho! |
| Triple ecchi? |
 |
| So Himari in survival strategy was Himari her self |
| amazing episode. the art direction was incredible as was the art itself. plus some serious developments goddamn this show is the best |
| Gah I've gone to episode 10 and back here again because I can't bear not shouting at how I love this episode. Best epi so far, I think. I'm really glad I read the discussions on previous pages, as I've never known anything in the world of Yin-Yang so my interpretations were limited to the realm of subconscious and afterlife-religious stuffs. But even that was discussed pretty clearly back there. Now what I'm dying to know is this beautiful song by the time Sanetoshi put the Queen hat on Himari. I've been dying to know the full lyrics but whatever attempt I tried on searching for it has been fruitless. Any help? |
| sanetoshi...i hope you'd appear in the next ep. <3 |

| Probably my favorite episode thus far as it cleared up a lot of questions for me. And, lol at people saying this reminds them of Shaft when it's actually the other way around. |

| Still my most favourite episode so far!! Brilliant art direction and everything, I've watched it 100+ times already... so shafty and so classy. |

| Nope. |
| Amazing episode. The look into Himari's past and her character was so well done that she grew so much in just 20 minutes. This episode also subtly answered some questions, still in a very mystifying way. I want to see what's going to happen to Sho. |
 |
| Btw, anyone knows who voiced Himari's soulmate? I didn't find the seiyuu in ANN, nor in the credits... I'm sure it was Emiri Katou, unless my ears failed me. Any way to clarify this? :/ |
| This is either brilliant or fooling of viewers. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| Wow, this librarian was a GUY? I definitely thought he was a girl at first/ |

puella-magi said: 1idd0kun said: aelove said: and that boy is so kanba. I seriously doubt it. For instance the VA is different. But even putting that aside, Kanba would never say something like "let's share the fruit of fate". After all, one of Kanba's main character motives is being set against fate. If I have to guess I said the boy from Himari's memories is the same boy who appears at the beginning of the episode wearing another penguin hat. That seems to fit better IMO. Agreed. As the episode drew to a close, Himari remembered she had a fated person - seeing the boy earlier on could have jogged her memory. He was too detailed to be someone of no importance. I dont know why but i thought of shouma. he was wearing blue shoes and I thought of his blue hair for some reason. anyway, this anime is getting so interesting! btw what is that child broiler?? is a real thing or another metaphor? |
