And I'm with Kaoru Chujo; Suou's development has been consistent so far and I'm happy with it. And talking/debating about whether or not a body floats when dead in anime is another one of those "bringing too much realism into a fictionated television production" situations. I doubt it changes the fact that Tanya kicked.

Maybe he shot Tanya to make Suou part from Hei? @__@ Let's wait to see, but I've the feeling that Shion is the key of the story, and Suou will make the "final decision", like shooting Shion in the end. If Suou is a doll and Shion can control she, maybe he even can control Yin... LOL I don't have any proof that lead this way |

Not too mention, how many pieces Tanya is suppose to be in after getting hit with an AT rifle round. Fun stuff.

Ow , i forgot to say , something was weird for the bullet's impact .
If you look closer on Tanya , the impact is like Suou's rifle direction . But , Shion wasn't in the same direction , he was at Tanya's left side . Shouldn't the bullet cross Tanya's body on the left ? |

Forks and knives, forks and knives. Before Hei's might, neither food nor foe stand a chance. "Like crap man. You don't see that every day. I mean that doesn't seem possible with all those body organs and cartilage and bones. I mean I'm no doctor or nothin' but that was like one clean chunk." We've got a Russian magical girl summoning an anti-tank rifle over here. No, I think you'll fit in just fine.

That moment felt really strange for some reason since Tanya wasn really doing anything to hurt Suou - just stop her. The bugs were just flying around. It felt like a "I'll beat you up and bring you back" moment when Suou pointed her rifle. Quote:
This felt rushed and both the pool and Shion sniping scenes felt too convinient thus a bit unnatural. And again the fact they're killing off every new contractor really fast is a bit annoying since we actually only get character development for Suou and some for Hei and none for everyone else. Well depending on how they handle it in the next few episode it might turn out just fine. At the moment though it still doesn't feel like it. Or at least not for me. Quote:
That's the reason I don't vote right after I watch the episode. I don't see some of the good points in it that are sometimes pointed out by others. I believe that was first because the shot was off and second the ammo is for tank armor thus it will just go through her body like a piece of paper. |

Considering the main focus is Suou and her development as a contractor and that we're only having a 12-episode series, I don't really see the point of wasting time on other contractors and their development, it really seems irrelevant to me to be honest. I wouldn't be surprised seeing people complain about the series focusing more on side characters than the main characters if they really did some background and development for other contractors.
We're only 4-episodes away from the ending, considering Tanya got killed at the 8th episode, I don't really see a problem with it and I'm surprised she didn't get killed earlier. What she did to Norio was irreversible and her powers disgusted me as well.

Sorry to detract from your regular discussion, but... someone pointed out that Misaki was rewinding the audio despite what the accompanying animation (seeker position and track movement) was telling us. I looked back to the last episode of S1 and found out that that part of the boss's speech was at the end of the recording, so it is highly likely that it was indeed being played in reverse (they made a mistake in animating the software's GUI).
Anyway, I made a reversed version of the recording: Quote:

Nobody said anything about Yin having Contractor powers. They only said that for the past few years, there's been an increase in Contractor "suicides," and the cause has been traced to a doll. (obviously Yin as inferred by the episode)

Holy shit! That was crazy. I got owned too. I thought Tanya was going to come around after getting splashed in the water but then...BANG...and that was over.
I thought I learned my lesson from the first season with getting attached and being hopeful. lol. Anyway, the story is moving along nicely. I really want to know what happened with Hei & Yin though.

Very nice episode. Plot advancement and ties up a few plot point. Suou finally confronted Tanya and I'm glad finally Tanya bit it. I couldn't feel any sympathy for her as Tanya changed too much and too cruel as soon as she became a contractor.
I'm pleased to see Hei's old eating habbits returned and he got to kick ass. And even better, looks like next episode he's having a hair cut and shaved! More about Yin as Izanami and how everyone wants. The secret in the tape is definitely Amber. This will be great!

Is this the first time Hei has admitted to killing Suou's father?
Also, I don't think that Yin's power is literally suicide inducement. I still think she takes control of their powers and actually does the killing. From the result it might look like the contractor used their powers to kill themselves, but the contractor Yin killed back in 6 did not seem to be using her powers when she died. Also there's a fairly easy reason for Shion being able to find Suou--she's still wearing the necklace that he gave her, isn't she? There could be some kind of tracking device in there at the least. |
