Things i am looking towards/want to find out:

• Upcoming Aono/Yorito encounter.
• Condition of Takashi's arm. (It better be permanent, not some cheap "it wears of after a while")
• whether Mana finds out the truth about Matsuri; her reaction
• Matsuri's course of action after she wakes up. I am expecting a second "bye bye" attempt.
• What will Yorito do? Obviously, the house isn't a safe hiding spot for Matsuri any more.

At any rate - this one should be a very eventful ep as well. Can't wait for my weekly Sola dosage.

*takashi hate detected* and here i am still thinking that hes a good guy really...(not that i put him over matsuri but she isnt in that much of a serious condition...yet...)

i suspect aono would want to pay a surprise visit home...and oh look we have sleeping beauty on yorito's bed...*imagines aono to get out a boxcutter*

[Skane]

First Mana, now Aono.

Next thing you know, people will be saying that Koyori is going to crack under Mana's abuse and go stabbity-stab-stab on her elder sister.

While Aono does display "some" signs of potential psycho-moe, it is far too low at this point to really make a case for it.

Heh.

If Yorito had any brains in that head, I think he should expect something like that to happen-Unless he happens to be away at the moment when she wants to leave....Or perhaps Mana will stop her and learn the truth?

Obviously! Anything or any one who wants to hurt Matsuri must be purged from the face of the Earth!

On a more serious note - i really would consider it cheap for it to wear off. Seeing what it did to metal pipes, i don't see how that can "wear off".



About the psycho-Aono issue... depends what we mean by psycho in the situation... i sure don't expect her to pull out a boxcutter. However, her throwing a tantrum and going on to a jealous "rage" is something i can imagine

[Nemesis2124]

Hm, I think I'd find it acceptable if they let his arm heal up over time and used that as excuse for him to not go hunting for a while.

Episode 6 has been blogged!

http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2007/05/11/sola-06/

Oh my!!!

[EvolutionXI]

Wow, I'm really looking forward to watching this ep. Ayono and Matsuri's past

[Skyfall]

I couldn't resist the temptation and took a peek >.<

...

Holy freaking cow... need time to collect my thoughts, but looks like this ep will be made of epicness.

[Deathkillz]

*looks as screen caps*
*dies*

Spoiler:

OMG it burns!!!
~ loli tan meets Koyori

~ aono spilling blood on her origami

~ takashi's arm getting bandaged up (it looks bad >.<)

~ aono meets matsuri ~ they talk on the train...

~ and heres the meat of it all...if we take a look at the bloody scene with aono ending up on the floor it does seem to be a flashback of some sort...and judging by the fact that they are both wearing wierd clothes it can mean that it was a few years back in a festival of some sort...possibly during that time matsui sucked her blood causing aono to turn into a "vampire" as well...she comes back as an immortal and grabs matsuri asking why she did what she did knowing that shes no longer human...

~ matsuri leaves yorito (as expected)

[Dynzel]

... I think it's safe to say this episode is made of WIN. <3 Out of all the episodes that've come out so far, of course.

Spoiler for nothing really spoiler-y... but to be safe. >_>:

Now I wanna know who's this "Yorito" that Matsuri saw in her flashbacks. Wtf. D: The weekly episodes don't come out fast enough.

Why did it seem like Yorito's wound was completely forgotten? o_0 Unless I didn't hear that scene right, when Matsuri was waking him up for school; he was shouting about something I didn't completely understand. XD

[octoberasian]

Just started watching Ep.6 RAW.. and my first thought from watching the first few minutes:

"Ara??" O.o;;

(... more thoughts to come after I finish watching it...)

Edit: Ok, just finished watching it...

Well, this episode gets a 10 for two things:
- Matsuri's and Aono's past.
- the shock factor in many scenes... I mean, the jaw-dropping, story-revealing scenes.

Spoiler:

Where to begin? >_<;;

Let's see here...

Spoiler for Don't read the following unless you watched Ep.6!!:

- So, the reason Aono was shocked to hear Matsuri's name mentioned was that they knew each other in the past! The event that happened does look like it happened during a summer festival of sorts or at their home village(?). Aono, Yorito and Matsuri knew each other then.

- Aono drips a drop of blood onto a frog origami... why?

- Koyori bumps into the Rozen Loli in the hospital. Their first unofficial meeting.

- Takeshi's arm is still damaged by what Matsuri did to him. He even got an X-ray, and it showed no broken arms. However, it doesn't look like it'll ever heal or return to full function-- Hint: He was struggling to hold a mop.

Matsuri moments in Ep.6:
- She teases Yorito to kiss him... if my translation is correct. Had to watch it twice to be sure! ^^;;

- First ponytail, now pigtails!

Spoiler for Kawaii!:

Another addition to Matsuri's characteristic:

Spoiler:

Since she can accelerate objects to degrade or deteriorate-- both organic and inorganic, it seems she can also bring organic objects back to life. Basically what you destroy, she can do it in reverse as well.

First hint: Mayuko gets killed by someone. Matsuri (most likely) saves her by returning her life.

Second hint: Aono takes her own life. Matsuri saves her by returning Aono's life.

Side effect: It turns you into a Yaka like Matsuri, with the effect of immortality and inability to stand in direct sunlight.

Matsuri doesn't suck blood like a vampire it seems. All she has to do is embrace the person, as if giving her life to another, or giving her power to another person.

I can now understand and see why Takeshi hates her, and for what she did to Mayuko. By taking Matsuri's life, something he asked of her in Ep.5, he believes that Mayuko's normal life may return, most likely. He probably thinks it'll reverse the process. Maybe? I don't think Aono is happy with it either. Also, she just left the hospital, no explanation how, she just up and left, then meets Matsuri in one of the trains.

BIG QUESTIONS arise:

Spoiler:

- Why doesn't Yorito and, even, Matsuri have no recollection of what transpired years ago? (Matsuri remembered everything until the end of the episode at the top of Yorito's high school.)

- Why did Aono try to take her own life by taking a knife to her neck?

The last scene was even more touching, not too surprising, but something I was kind of suspecting: Matsuri has had feelings and still does for Yorito.

Spoiler for The kiss!:

No "Bye, bye" but a goodbye kiss. It was simple and touching. Her last words to Yorito was calling out his name, then grabbed him and kissed him. Then she just left.

This series just got deeper and more involving and interesting. I can't wait for Ep.7 now.

[Owaranai Destiny]

Holy ****.

Spoiler:

There's more blood, it seems, but at least I was right about Aono having met Matsuri in the past. Apparently the first part of the episode might be a little confusing to some, though. Who was that 'Aono' and 'Yorito'? It won't be right just to judge from their clothing alone, but considering a time lapse in between that segment and the present.... I'm confusing myself.

Cap lovers now?

[xat]

I'd like to think I speak for most when I say this episode is good.

[kct]

This episode is definitely crazy >.> .

[lightbringer]

Spoiler:

I'm still too shocked to write anything coherent about this episode. Suffice to say, I had all kinds of scenarios in mind for Aono and Mitsuri, but I didn't see this one coming.

Yorito must have had his memories wiped, most likely by Aono. But that does not explain why Mitsuri didn't remember him. From the scene before the OP, it seemed like Yorito was a Yaka in that scene. Did Aono manage to return him to normal? It's all really weird right now.

There will be theories as to what really happened back then...But we'll probably be going around in circles again when that kind of discussion comes about.

[Skane]

No comment on the twin-tails? Man... I am craving for the fansubs now.

Also, Aono's scowling was simply adorable!

°ﮧ° "He's my little brother..."

Spoiler for Ep06 screenshots:

Wee!

[Icerack]

Spoiler:

Yeah the beginning doesn't make sense in the fact that Yorito was in a hood. I assumed it was just some random dream with some random meaning to it, but it seems there's more to it. But then again, it seems that Yorito was dead? possibly leading to the suicide scene with Aono... who knows...
