Epic fight and epic cliffhanger. Next ep, Kyouhei finally takes Kukuri back.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

What a major blow to the head, ouch. Too bad the next ep is the last, the story was finally developing with these last few episodes. :\

Like seriously... the season final is a mini-boss fight
I really welcome the actions scenes, but it doesn't look that good for the season final. Story had little to no progression.

I'm wonder if Kukuri enter enrage mode because Kyouhei was mad or because Utao clicked when he saw the blow Kyouhei received. After all he seems he was hit on his"control system"
huh?

I have seen it by going a hell of getting the episode from my friend's computer.

IMO it was very stupid of Kirio to have damaged that badly Utao's kakashi. Furthermore the kakashi of Mahiru lost control due to Utao's aggressive nature of whom I would try to aim more for a KO with no blood spill but oh well it happened like that.

In thee end Kyuouhei will most likely control Kukuri once again.. The question is what will the other sekis do and mostly Aki. Edit and add later.

I don't see things going well for Kuuko, I mean she actually killed someone here though I have no complaints concerning this as it makes things more interesting.
I'm really excited to see how Kyohei loses it next episode.

So how do you take a blow to the back of the head by a doll and one from a driver (the golf club) with a metal head and still walk away like nothing will happened?

I have a feeling this will feel like the sped up the ending too much when it's all said and done. I mean, about 10-11 eps of introducing new characters and trying to get to the main plot of the series, might not help lead a perfectly developed story.

But we shall see.

Well, someone did die, but maybe not the one you meant. It's likely someone of the more important characters will die in the last episode though^^

I knew it. Kyouhei is going to awaken as a Seki again and use Kukuri's "left arm" to beat Magatsuhi. It's pretty apparent by how strong Kukuri looks and the fact that his "theme song" changed back to what it was when Kyouhei was in control.

I hope it'll be a good last episode. I wonder if Hibino will get scared of Kyouhei when she sees him the way he used to be...

I hate Mahiru because all she does is whine about everything and she is obsessed over Kyouhei to the point of doing crazy shit. I loved this episode because they pulled an EVANGELION with the Kakashi going crazy. 5/5

I didn't get why they acted like nobody could stop them now that they are fighting and they have to let them just fight it out. Nobody could run up behind Mahiru and like break her neck while she was occupied with fighting Utao?


Because you don't do that. Even if there were no dolls, nor magical stuff, nor anything. Sometimes stuff just builds up inside people and the only way to get it out is to get into a fight.

if someone stops that, it will just continue building up even faster till even worse situation. You can't just stop them and say some nice words. It won't work even if they understand what you want. All these emotions still build up.
--------------------------------------------

As for episode, anyway, I feel like I might be only one, but Kyohei so far has been one of the most realistic and interesting characters in this series. He managed to have a realistic personality and be important without having any power at all. Of course many "anime fans" will hate him because bawww he is not a psycho, he is not perfect, he does not gloat with shiny new moves every episode, but thats what makes him a good character. Which is to be expected out of fanbase which falls in love with one trick ponies like Kamina just because they act irrationally perfectly. Or where mary sue stuff like kira yamato have thousands of favorites. And the fanbase which considered Saya from Blood+ to be "weak character" just because she wanted normal life and got more and more emotionally distraught as it was taken away from her.

Kyohei is not a mary sue like many of main characters in anime genres are. He is not perfect impossible bishonen like most of the other half of main characters are in anime genres. He is human. He feels human. He has strengths and weaknesses and actual psychology behind his mind, instead of plot-devices. He acts like he would act if this was real. And that is refreshing in current anime market filled with perfect boring people in the clear line between good and evil.


Thats another thing this anime defies - you don't have clear "badguys" or "good guys". Everyone is capable of being either and neither or both.

I had to wonder if I was the only one who hated her--not only that, but how a blind eye seems to be on her actions, collectively. From a general, bellitling lack of concern for anyone around her to kidnapping, assault (sexual--the bed scene--or otherwise), and attempted murder...if I was in Kyohei's shoes, the village wouldn't be the only reason why I'd not want to return with a sociopath like Mahiru, and there'd be at least some telltale sign of disgust at her actions.

Then again, maybe he didn't say a thing about it because she's already demonstrated considerable emotional (if not mental, in addition) instability. o_o That'd be smart.

Fai's post.


I agreed with a lot of your post, especially about Kyohei's character in comparison to the more popular ones out there (e.g., and as you said, Kamina and Kira). He's not spineless to the point of absurdity and revulsion, but he responds to things in a believable way for an "ordinary" person--especially one who was once a part of the extraordinary world he seemingly can't escape from. But, of course, a lot of people--among them, the so-called "anime fans" you mentioned--won't take the time to think about characters whose qualities aren't readily perceived.

In fact, and as my earlier response might have implied when taken together with this one, if Kyohei displayed some sort of acknowledgement that Mahiru's actions were *far* from normal for a reasonable human being, then he'd be totally believable, to me.

Everyone discussing about Kyohei, Mahiru, Utao, among others, that they completely forgot how badass Kuuko was? D:
She even killed a person and took another one as a "accomplice"!!

This episode was pretty awesome. Mahiru been there just makes me enjoy it even more. Actually, Hibino is probably the only character that I really hate since the first time I saw her.

Kuuko was pretty awesome this episode, and her way of turning things around deserves an applause.

I also agree with people that Aki needs more screen time.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

This series does have its nice share of badass characters.

So far, nearly all of the characters did have some unique features to them.
bla bla bla
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.

This show is really completely different than the beginning of the series was. It featured almost rape, people getting shot dead, and other stuff that's not usual in this kind of show and I hadn't expected if you look at the first few episodes. I think that's great though, because it would be very boring otherwise. This show is pretty good after a poor start, next episode is the end, but probably won't finish anything up since a second season is coming.

Wow, really good episode in terms of action definitely O_O Holy crap lol Kuuko killed that guy? XD Love her she's so awesome haha XD Oh and Aki WTF lol :P
The fight between Mahiru and Utao was pretty lulzy, but was definitely awesome near the end, and then she lost control O_O Watching it go crazy and capture Hibino and then Mahiru try to control it again ... then Kirio accidentally hit Kukuri ... oh dear :P
Interesting new "past" stuff I suppose, Hibino looked pretty good with short hair, but hrm ... well, I bet everything's just gonna be crazy last episode XD

Mahiru versus broken Magatsuhi was awesome. I couldn't stop laughing when she was yelling at her kakashi to let go of Hibino. ;D
Utao was so funny this this line "I have something to fight for as well. Cookies!" :DD
Kuuko was badass. And Aki seriously was useless. He ould've freed himself if he wanted without Kuuko's help. But it's nice she remembered him.

Damn! Shit's going down!
So cute how Kirio's beginning to care about his siblings.
I'm also loving Kuko. So funny how she threw the gun to the other guy, and then, "Let's go, lover!" Very funny.
As for Kyohei controlling Kukuri (make sure you watched after the credits in order to see this)... I SO CALLED IT!

Yo this show is crazyyyyyyy

There was some really intense action, especially with Magatsuhi going out of control

I'm wondering, so if Kyohei is gaining control of Kukuri again, and if he's the only one who has made Kukuri use it's left arm, then maybe back when Kirio and Utao were fighting and Kukuri absorbed Takemikazuchi's beam and then fired back at him, maybe that was Kyohei all along...maybe he can never leave the village because once you become a seki you can never truly stop...

Next is the last episode but there's so much more I want to seeee :(

Utao and Mahiro stood out in this episode, both in staying true to their established convictions, and in relaying their development in their skills with controlling their respective Dolls. The fact that Utao was still upset about Mahiro crushing her cookie box was also humorously trifling. Even Kuuko was being useful for once in this episode, so plenty of new sides to different characters here.

Looks like next episode will focus more on Kyouhei again. Maybe he'll be more exciting in it.
