But after seeing all the buzz that scene generated on the web I became curious and decided to download 12 just to check it out for myself. Now that I've seen it I so wish I didn't... such a blatant fan service for the female audience, especially those Gundam Seed/IshidaxHoshi/HoshixIshida fangirls and now they'll probably follow this show which, with so many girls, would normally appeal more to guys, just hoping to see more stuff like that. as for me, I shall just continue to ignore this show from now on even though Ishida Akira is my number 1 favourite seiyuu...

Let's not forget Hoshi x Hoshi...YES, Hoshi x Himself.

But seriously, I thought Kiriya is the main character in the game? How did he end up being a sub-character's Ultimate Soulblade?

Spoiler:

In actuality, the ending of the game is SO OPEN for a sequel. Xion/Zero's still Zero-possessed even in the end, Souma, Hilda and Trihart stayed in that world, while Kureha, Kiriya and Sheena went back to Earth, promising that they'll return one day.

Since Kureha is actually an option for Kiriya to have an ending with...they can't really allow Souma to "win" Kureha... but frankly, the non-Kureha ending did give slight Souma x Kureha-ish vibe, so who knows.

For all we know, if a sequel to Wind comes out, Souma might've already been over Kureha by then. He technically gave her up to Kiriya even if he's being typically Athrun Zala on it, and there's already one princess wanting to get into his pant...
