Spoiler for the episode ending:

Why did they have to end it there?! I think I know what they're trying to do but it's such a bad point to end the episode, and such a bad point to start the next episode!

Spoiler for psycho buster:

The psycho buster is not supposed to look like that?? Then again, I guess it doesn't really matter since they cut everything about what this thing is, why it looks like that, what it's doing there and how it works... Perhaps they didn't want to offend Christians? But this way it's like some Random Mysterious Gadget that's just randomly lying there. :/ (Also, this is supposed to be where the "cursed power" aspect is made very obvious, making "Cantus" even more meaningless and out of place.)

Oh well.

Spoiler for the pacing:

Unlike the last episode I think this one had a pretty bad pacing, though maybe that's just because in my mind I kept screaming "GET ON WITH IT, YOU ONLY HAVE 2 MORE EPISODES!" I mean, I understand that they wanted to end on a dramatic note with Shun, but argh! How are they going to do the rest of the story in 2 more episodes without rushing?!

And if they'd already decided to take their sweet time, they could've done more with it. Instead of showing the characters walking, or Saki and Inui standing around talking (that could've been done over a montage!), they could've included a flashback about them splitting up and Satoru opting to go with Kiroumaru (seriously, why can't the guy get some attention), or show more of the creepy lab thing Saki is wandering around in search for the psycho buster, or ah, the psycho buster explanation...

Sigh.

Mind, it wasn't a bad episode, but it was frustrating. :/ Now I'm worried about the last two episodes...

Then again, I think most people will care about only one aspect of this episode. :P Actually, about that...

Spoiler for seiyuu:

Why is Shun voiced by Toudou Mai? Come to think of it, she also voiced him in episode 11, in Saki's dream. But why her and not Murase Ayumu? I mean mirage!Shun even looks like his 14 year old self...

Maybe they will cut the ED in the next 2 ep, I think that they could have done Minoshiro tell the story about PsychoBuster to Saki while she was walking through the lab
I wanna know more about PsychoBuster, can u PM me with the info pls
