but with earth still fine and going? ... doesn't make much sense to me. isn't it a bit too soon, perhaps? He said the 'world has lost its colors'. but wait, how much time took him to say that exactly? He gets bored pretty fast, uh? then again, looked like he was "having some fun" with Ayumu... why throw that away?

Let me elaborate a little... we can take the scenes with that radioactive sunshine and redraw what should have been there, encode it, and make the short videos available on-line, since they are just altered scenes depicting our take on how things should be done, without making a dime (later part to fall under the fair use clause); dunno, just a thought that seems feasible

Jesus, You don't even know when to laugh or get serious.
This show just can't take itself seriously can it?...and that what makes me love the show. It's gonna end eh?too bad the main plot ended.but we're going to see the other "plot" this show has in store for us.

Other than Yuu speaking of course, my favorite scenes all involved Haruna as usual. The beginning was hilarious! Not to mention, way to use the enemy's magic to go on a trip around the world? Only you Haruna...

O dat beach! Kyoko...
Damn... That's true. Though then again I didn't treat him as a big boss anyway, more like some guy that was defeated in a Touma-Preach-Punch battle. For that level I found it rather good. It's supposed to be a cucumber (I think). Quote:

If death is all he wanted, he wouldn't have asked to be reincarnated. What he wanted was a blank slate; the blessing of starting his life over. Even if that means becoming a flightless bird catching fish in the ocean. Keep in mind that all of the major characters in this show are all technically capable of living forever. An indefinite lifespan isn't a curse, but a way of life for them. It's just that if you did something you regret, and you couldn't live with yourself afterwards, you are stuck, It's a self-created hell. Immortality is not the bogeyman here. And of course, what with the afterlife being confirmed to exist, immortality appear to be of rather limited use. Then again, you can have your soul destroyed and suffer true-death. But I don't think anyone likes that.

Once again, you are not making sense.
He wants to die because he doesn't HAVE any friends. He made himself alone. If you did something so despicable that you couldn't live with yourself, I say you deserve the suffering of living with that decision. You need to wrap your head around the fact that to live thousands of years is NORMAL in this show. There is no such thing as generations of friends dying, because no one dies from old age. You die from accidents or being killed, not from anything like cancer or kidney failure.

But I do have to remind you of the penguin. If he really wanted to die, he could have asked to have his soul destroyed.

You got a point, my focus on immortality being the bogeyman for everything isn't too right. Even so, I'm not sure how much significance that penguine line had, honestly. Of course he didn't say it without any reason but the immortality's consequences themselves still add to the passive torment anyway. So there's this reason you definitely can't live with. If we assume that he also won't be able to live with it even in the distant future then as long as he lives on through the effects of immortality his situation will most likely worsen. Btw. I really think we shouldn't judge his faultiness of reasoning and tell him to live on and keep suffering as some kind of punishment, we don't even know his reasons to begin with. All we know is that he turned mad after he was revived as a zombie and then killed one of the higher-up devils. Which resulted in being told to disappear (which might be just part of the reason). Oh and if you really mean that he wants to die because he doesn't have any friends, I beg to differ. He does have friends: Yuu considers herself one, so does Kyoko or at least there's gotta be some kind of relationship between them, and the humans he's interacted with are also being nice to him. Well, if you say that regardless of those people he still thinks he's alone and he can't live with himself, that's another thing (which I agree with).

You guys have a good point about this immortality business. I'm pretty sure that it is touched on again because most of the main cast is very long lived. Plus, there are certain LN spoilers about a certain crazed masou shojou that didn't want to lose all her friends after being locked up for a few centuries.
Animes these days like to have some central theme. Maybe this one's theme is mortality/ immortality? |

edit: A drama CD was released February 9th. Some radio CD (I guess there was a radio cast or so?) will be released April 13th. There is also a pair of insert songs for Korezom that will come out on April 20th. Don't bite me if the dates were changed due to delays.
