That is if they will make this uniquely an anime adaptation.. But since a lot of changes/alterations from the original has already been made... as some says.... I hope you're right. Well, that base from the earlier post or rather complaints...

I don't think it was just Shun's introverted nature that did him in. He said in the previous episode that he believed that the adults knew about everything that happened and had been watching them all this time. That is A LOT of stress for someone to handle every day for two years.
One thing I don't get is the previous episode where Shun seems to send out some sort of wave of energy that causes the visiting leader to leave the room. When this happens they zoom in on Shun's face and he makes this evil little grin as if he did it on purpose. Maybe I'm just misreading the expression because of the art style because that doesn't fit with Shun's character at all, even Karma Shun. My last little thought. A lot is explained now but I still don't see a valid reason to "vanish" children that have weaker Cantus powers. If anything, Shun's case shows that a society of Cantus users isn't really viable and will probably some day lead to the end of humanity, or humanity as they know it. If anything, they should be trying to get rid of people with high PK and letting people with weak/no PK have children to try to cut off this current branch of evolution. |

Wouldn't that cheapen the whole arc? We already have one plot armoured character, we really don't need another one. Quote:
Yes I do believe that eventually that kind of society would crumble, eventually, a pk user would be born that would be so powerful that nothing could stop it, then the village/society would be doomed again, he could be so powerful to alter his own dna so that he doesnt have the death feedback thing or whatnot, and just rape face, take a wife, and genghis khan that shit all over Japan, or whatever landmass he happens to be on. There would have to be a solution to this whole pk thing, thats a lot better than what the village has gotten... or they could just give up and see what happens lol, maybe in the future pk users would be able to find balance, and control even their subconscious in ways that allow them to live peacefully with other beings on the planet |

The "test of time" is superfluous in its own way; after all, time both heals wounds that would never have healed otherwise and rupture hearts that would never have otherwise. That a relationship has survived the test of time speaks good things for the relationship but a relationship doesn't always have time on it's side and I know that full well. Who gets enamored with who isn't really going to follow logic anyway. There are so many things at play that it's going to be near impossible for any romance to truly deserve the title of "true love", but that's just fine and dandy because I can enjoy the romance without giving it such pretentious labels. There is nothing wrong with characters being in love with somebody today and somebody else some other day, so long as the love was genuine. I actually hold the opinion it's even possible for polyamorous relationships to be built around genuine love from all participants. What matters is honesty and taking the decision to be in the relationship out of free will while perfectly understanding all the implications. It's this part about perfectly understanding all the implications and still being okay with it that's most subjective and as I already conceded, you can push it to the point where no romance can satisfy it but it doesn't really matter because those who are in love are going to enjoy it while it lasts (or the pain it causes when it falls apart or of unrequited love or of the agony of having never professed etc.) and it's good, healthy drama for the bystanders either which way.

An absolutely remarkable but truly sad episode this one was in an epic scale.
This is the episode that gives the concrete explanations about what karma demons and fiends are, and where do they come from. Spoiler:

Holy shit isn't this a late reply,
................I don't feel..............anything He was about to die in this ep and there were more shots of Saki's curves and ass than her face. Even her expressions seemed forced. Wtf? How much time did both of them spend together to bring in any kind of.....tragic feeling in this episode? Would have worked better if Satoru was the one dying since he's gone through a lot with Saki to make his passing sad for her. This is just so,..................flat emotionally. And Triple_R, with all due respect, this is NOWHERE NEAR TTGL's climax. There is too little character development between Saki and Shun. I'm absolutely stunned to see so many found this sad and even tragic.

I never had the impression that Shun and Saki were supposed to be a sort of Romeo and Juliet type tragic romance, and that Shun's death was sad because of that. Sure, there's an element of "poor kids, they loved each other" in it, but I think the emphasis was more on Saki's feelings for Shun, Shun's personal tragedy which I think is bone-chilling and very sad, and of course the revelations and the effect Shun's death has on the plot. Shun and Saki were never supposed to have a passionate romance and this episode wasn't supposed to be about tragic lovers separated by death or somesuch.
That said, I do think that while the episode was atmospheric and engaging at first watch, it doesn't really have the same effect on consequent viewings. :/ One of the reasons is, as I mentioned somewhere else, how it was much less visceral than it could've been. The style of Tomiko's flashbacks about the akki and the gouma in ep 12 would've been much better here. Saki's poses were pretty theatrical sometimes, and all that focus on her crotch and ass was ridiculous and distracting. -_-) Seriously, Shun is having important exposition on important matters, but the director seems more interested in panning over Saki's sexy backside as she randomly leans over with her butt jutting out? I have a feeling the director would've made her naked if he could've found an excuse for it. Wtf Yamauchi, some more restraint please. (That was a very awkward composition, too.) Everyone's saying that Yamauchi's style fit this episode more than ep 5, but after rewatching ep 10 I found I was more okay with ep 5, and I'm kind of dreading which episode he'll do next. I really hope it's not going to be the one with the summer festival, but I think that's the most likely. -_-) Last edited by kuromitsu; 2013-01-07 at 14:08. |

Anyway for me it's not his relationship with Saki. It has nothing to do with Saki.....it's the utter helplessness of the situation that is tragic. Hashimoto-Appelbaum sufferers have the cruelest fate of all, warping everything around them unable to stop it and that's what's sad for me. Look at his slow degenerating spiral from the start to his final end. Quote:

And there's another problem why I couldn't feel anything during his breakdown, the infuriating shots of Saki's curves. It's way too much distraction for me. The helplessness of individuals like him is better portrayed in ep 14, IMO.

For me it's not as much the violence as the "punch" of it, so to speak... Also, it's overall a very emotional part of the story, and I'd hate to see it being toned down by theatric presentation and the director being way too interested in Saki's hip area.
