No! we are not going to get any incest just before any of you guys start

I suspect that it will take around half an ep to finish nanaka's flashback, but then what? Go back and have secks with Sana thats what

[serenade_beta]

Expectation:

Sana's past gets revealed.
What ALL of the characters are doing at the end (Hinako, Asami, Kaji, all of the ones that somehow disappeared from existence)
Something decently good for an end, not a huh-concert like DCII.

[DanielSong39]

Of course we won't see twincest; we can assume it already happened off screen.

Still looking for a better reason for Nanaka's slap in episode 1, but I suppose we'll never see one.

[Saleh]

Expectations :-

Anything that prevents todays ending episode from being one of the worst endings this season or this week. Hopefully True Tears will do a better job next season. Merry Christmas everyone.

Hey, it's not too late to say that Nanaka is actually Shana's long lost step sister his mum forgot to mention. Really, the show had nothing going for it until the whiff of incest became strong in the air. Incest banzai.~

Spoiler for episode 13:

As I said earlier 9/10 from me just for Nanaka's violin concert even if was very short one. No comments about every thing else for now.

What's Sana's past? Please tell me!

[DanielSong39]

Fully expecting an anticlimactic ending.

Too bad; the show had potential at the start.

[SeedFreedom]

Just spoiled myself with Omni's screenshots

Spoiler for Ep 13:

WOOT I was right. It was the father. Now i just need to wait for torrents :P

Merry Xmas.

If we had 26 eps we just might have gotten ourselves some nice twincest and fleshed out psycho Asami.

0 for 3, serenade_beta.

But I hope you enjoyed the episode anyway.

You're giving the writers too much credit. Given how unfocused the storytelling has been, it's obvious that they had little clue of where to take the stories and characters (thus relying on cheap plot twists to try and thrill the viewer).

Psycho Asami was the invention of the game creators, and there's no indication that the anime staff even knew anything about her character aside from the basic personality description (portrayed in very different ways between the two projects).

[DanielSong39]

Cheap plot twists can still work as long as there is still logic behind them. The trick is to make them cheaper and cheapter until the underlying story collapses in spectacular fashion.

But they couldn't even pull that off. I think an unbelievably twisted and BAD ending would've worked better here.

P.S. As for Asami, her portrayal pretty much falls on its face. In the game she had an inferiority complex with Nanaka. In the anime she IS superior to Nanaka and thus has no grounds for going berserk.

Hahahaha, don't worry. It wasn't bad.

Spoiler for ep13:

It wasn't a perfect ten, but it was okay.

Bad points:

Time was inconsistent... Yuzuki didn't seem to age in ten years (), and Aoi's voice still hasn't changed... -_-
Sana's past, in the end, took 2 minutes to complete...
Nothing was shown on what the other characters were doing before the huge time jump.

It finished up Nanaka's story at least, showing that the arsonist was the dad.
I wouldn't completely blame him though. Nanaka's mom shouldn't have provoked him. She isn't blind, so she could clearly see how murderous he looked, but she just went ahead and put up a "so what" attitude. Thanks to all of that, the whole family shattered apart.

Sana tried to kill himself, became a hikikomori, and for a change of atmosphere, came back to the town. Lots' of people guessed this, or parts of it.
It's fine, though I question the wiseness of sending a suicidal kid off by himself.

Random points:

Incest end... -__-...
Yota turned into Renji (ef)...

Man, another expectation goes down in flames; thank goodness you guys are an accommodating bunch.

Spoiler:

Poor Nanaka, Her mom was a bitch, cheated on her husband and then the attitude she show to her actions.

We got certified twincest, not way to think about it. symbolism all around. they are still together, they still have the friendship bracelet.

[DanielSong39]

As for the concert...

If Nanaka can become a famous pro, maybe I should work on the violin for 10 years so I can become a famous pro as well. (Insert punchline here)

I realize this is anime, but this should give you an idea of the level of play that a future pro has, even at 10 years old.

Spoiler:

I'm not sure if it could be considered cheating because she had the child before they married, so they weren't husband and wife before she got pregnant. She's still a horrible person for having no regrets, not telling the truth, and being idiot enough to provoke a guy who's clearly glaring at her with murderous intent.

Another proof for incest/twincest - they were holding hands through the whole thing.

Spoiler:

Wow it's like Asami has the power of self-fulfilling prophecy! That being said while it could have been better (I'll admit that) I did like the way it ended over all. Plus given Nanaka's earlier accusation of Sana leading a happy life it's kind of interesting to see her have to learn how false her accusation really was.

Hmm come to think of it the "fathers" don't come off very good in this anime. We either know little about them in the case of Sana, Hinako, and Aoi. Or they are jerks in the case of Nanaka and Shuri. Okay well to be fair Nanaka's "real" father wasn't a bad person.
