Tanaka Rie is awesome, but I wish they used the same seiyuu for both characters. It's kind of distracting how the voice doesn't match the body.

(1st future: Izumiko destroys humanity, dies, but due to her powers her spirit(?) travels back in the past to find a way to avoid the tragedy, becoming the himegami in the process; this culminates in the 2nd future where Izumiko/himegami manages not to destroy humanity but dies in the name of science, and someone else destroys humanity anyway. So the himegami travels back in the past for the second time, creating the third future which is our current timeline. This is her last try.) |

Well, the voice isn't supposed to match with the body especially when the body is being possessed by some old spirit.
I can't feel the hime=Izumiko theory yet. If this is her third time traveling back in time I wonder when she "landed" that she's been known in the family for quite some time. And I thought she's currently using Izumiko's mother's body. Anyways, I've been skipping so I may have missed some clues. I don't care what people say, I'm loving the hug. I watch it like 3 times. Loverboy Miyuki can be so sweet. Can't wait to see more of Miyuki and Izumiko couple. The hime is so ruthless. She can find another body and leave my couple alone (well hopefully at the end anyways). |

Quite an interesting episode indeed. Not sure if it meant anything, but Miyuki snagged Himegami's left hand and ran off with her after the scene where she speaks about what each of her hands signified.
As for Himegami=Izumiko, it is quite possible, even though their personalities differs greatly, Izumiko has gradually developed in to a more confident(or rebellious) person than she originally first started. Not to mention the titles of each episodes revolves around her first times.

Yes as much as I find the theory that Izumiko=Himegami exciting, I don't feel there is any strong basis on this, although I may be ignoring some details. For those that support the theory, are there any specific incidents that hint to that theory? |

We also know that she belonged to Izumiko's family. In this light, many things seem to make sense: - Izumiko's innate powers. - The talk between Yukimasa and Izumiko in the nurse's room. "Are you talking about me or the himegami?" "The two are one and the same." Yukimasa never answered Izumiko's question about when the himegami chose Miyuki, but I bet it has something to do with Izumiko herself falling for him. - The himegami's joy at having taken over Izumiko's body, saying (I paraphrase) "finally I've come this far" and "today is a special day, I've become able to easily sync with this body" - The talk about becoming a world heritage in the 2nd timeline. Mayura and Takayanagi fighting for exactly this in the current timeline makes me think that the future events the himegami was talking about are set to happen in the near future. If that's true, the himegami "reclaiming" Izumiko's body as her own means that it was the one she occupied the first and second time as well. Of course this is just speculation, and with spiritual entities and time travel everything is possible... But it makes sense to me. :3 Last edited by kuromitsu; 2013-05-14 at 04:15. |

Skimmed through the raws. And I thought they would pick up from the hug from last ep. Well I have no idea what happened but I like the moment when Miyuki laughed at Izumiku's new do. Miyuki did have a flashback with Hime after Izumiko said something so maybe he was thinking they're the same person. I'm not crazy about this possibility. I don't have a problem with their progress in relationship. Miyuki cares more for her than he would ever show. It's like they've been thinking about each other since they know they have to be partners. (Heck, I have no idea what's going because I've been watching it on and off but I still want to follow this to the end to see the "big picture". I'll be satisfied to see some kind of ending between Miyuki and Izumiko.)

Yeah, I'm not very happy about that either... But at least this time it's creative enough to make it interesting. |

How comes that episode 10 still isn't subbed? Just when things started to get interesting...
EDIT: It's subbed! This felt like a set-up episode but I did like it. Suzuhara was really cute during the episode.

Welp, shit hits the fan in episode 11.
Spoiler for spoiler:
EDIT: I just learned the last episode of the anime will cover the climax of volume 5, which unfortunately means volume 6 of the novel won't be animated. We're going to miss out on the real ending of the story, including the final battle. This sucks.

Now that it's pretty much been confirmed that the goddess is Izumiko's alternate self from a parallel timeline, I wonder if her picking Sagara in the first place and her jealousy when he 'discusses other women' hints that the two are indeed destined for one another. By the way, what's up with Izumiko dropping this big hint to Mayura that she's an 'enemy of mankind'... and then no further elaboration? How'd she get out of that conversation without explaining herself? And why does Mayura seemingly not care? Considering her ability to brush that aside and focus on her comparatively unimportant battle with Takayanagi... her ego is truly a force to be reckoned with . That's kind of ridiculous. I understand they have time constraints, but what does this mean for the anime's story? It will just end without a definite resolution? |
