I didn't particularly like the flashback (unless there's a deeper, hidden meaning to it), and agree with what Shadow5YA said concerning it.
When Mahiro made the comment about what she must eat, I honestly groaned inside, expecting him to make a crack about her boobs.

I was honestly fine with the flashback. It's a rather important moment anyways. A meeting that frankly would consume the fate of the entire world. Plus I don't think Mahiro talking about his good friend is the same as saying "please go out with him." I thought it was an interesting moment before the hating Yoshino act was put forward by Aika. Showing how they both completely just blew past that isolation Aika faced her whole life and just proved how they are far stranger than even the Mage of Exodus .

Well it's a bit expected right? As much as I would of loved it to stick exactly to the manga, it'll be a bit troublesome to cram 7 chapters in 3 episodes. :/ |

Yeah, definitely was in middle school if it was similar to the one she wears. Which confirms my suspicions that I was wrong in my first assumption of Aika being childhood friends with Yoshino (or even Mahiro) that I made in the beginning of this series.

I'm not exactly sure what the big deal is here. I never got the feeling Mahiro was hooking up Mahiro and Aika together. And even, so why does that mean Mahiro would know about Yoshino and Aika dating later on? There wasn't any indication Yoshino and Aika started dating there and then.

I mean with Mahiro and Aika's meeting he gave Aika Yoshino's #, kind of funny how things ended up like as results. |

Sure, why not! And here I thought Okada was the scenario writer I'll commend BONES for sticking to the source material fairly well and not turning this into Full Metal Alchemist 2003 or JCStaff's Tsukihime and Yumekui Merry, but that doesn't mean it's flawless and gets a free pass. I call what I see. |

Not to mention that apart from finding it amusing he called her "aika-chan" it's not like she was thrilled to see him ("do I look like the type of person who'd rely on someone?")

I thought the storytelling is better than the days of Spiral. It can't helped to think that Aika has the eighth grader's disease. She takes her life just because Mahiro will meet Hakaze. It sounds rather lame. Still, the story is better than Spiral.
The list of possible Spiral equivalent. Ayumu = Yoshino EYES = Yoshino Kiyotaka = Samon Hiyono = Evangeline RIO = Ayaka Sayoko = Aika Riouko = Hakaze At least, this story promises the happy ending. Yoshino deserves someone such as Hakaze. Heck! As long as Hakaze has happy ending, everything would be fine. Her villager can't stop teasing her "coming of age". She should have a happy ending.

Her committing suicide is lame. Because she can complete the task by herself. She can send the tree into space if she wants to do it. She sends Hakaze to sleep easily, although it's the trend of plot. Instead, she takes the more difficult route. She uses less capable Mahiro and Yoshino to device her play. Above all, she sees herself as a mere side character in the "play". Even before her death, her only concern is reciting Shakespeare's line. She becomes interested in Yoshino because Yoshino calls her Aika-chan. Their relationship still doesn't make sense. The logic is so manga style. So, Yoshino may doubt Aika's love for him. Yoshino may even doubt Hakaze's love him. Hakaze has to assures him her love for him is not just temporary crash. To help Hakaze, Mahiro and Yoshino turns against Samon. Then, they fights for Samon's cause. The outcome is not economical.
