This is episode looks like it will have a lot of gunfire...

I like gunfire...:F

I'm wondering what they'll leave for the last episode

It would be so cool to see Rena go all Sannosuke on the Yamainu provided the giant ironclad cleaver from Hidebu Kai existed. xD

Saving Major Tomitake anyone?

I am kind of tempted to pre-vote this a "1", because it's painful to know that there are only two episodes left. :p

I guess this episode will all be about Irie and Shion trying to get back to the clinic. It's probably about noon of watanagashi now in that world, and this will probably be the story from noon to something like 6 PM (I'm assuming it'll end on the night of watanagashi)

For some reason I want Keiichi to go into SEED mode

Saving Major Tomitake it could be the next great war movie

Let's hope the animation quality goes back to normal. It would be a shame to have another finale ruined by bad animation.

Your forgot about Gin-sama and Satoshi who's M.I.A

Okonogi should be listed separately.

You mean CRAZY SWINGING BAT mode.

Great episode.

Episode 23: bullet summary and screencaps

This episode was a good followup to last week. The quality of this episode is more centred to "normal", though they can obviously do better.
That said, much like last week, the BGM were quite dull (no "Search and Destroy" like BGM for the booby traps moment >_>), but nothing that "severe".
Kasai "batshit" mode was excellent, and he is sure a trusty bodyguard/soldier. Excellent combo with Aksaka :D
meanwhile, more kudos for Yukino Satsuki who was brilliant with the mood "switch" with Shion, for the emotional, desperate but also heartwarming/hopeful scene about Satoshi.

Last episode will conclude this fabulous franchise. Can't wait for this.

one episode left, i really can't wait ...

And, so it looks like the 'OHMYGOD SO GAR' award this weeks goes to

It was good but not great

It's not great because of the teddy bear? :eyebrow:

THAT was a fun episode!


So it's really only going to be 24 this time around? NYUUUUUUUUUU!

No I was just pointing out that I thougt the bear was fugly

The reason it wasn't great was because it seemed boring for some reason

@harukamae: Satoshi=Manwhore :confused:
