I feel that is unlikely since they moved it to be part of the DC ep 3.

However I'm still routing for Kurumi for best girl. That was like love at first sight, even though I'm usually not too fond of Yandere/Yangire type characters.

I guess I'm a sucker for Seiyū work there. With Horie Yui and others there it was an easy pick for me. DAL also has pretty great voice acting, which made me enjoy it, even though I didn't really like episodes 4-6.

Wonder if people will be willing to sit through a lousy (to many people) first half for an epic second half. All that's left is for episode 12 to not mass disappoint people. Which I think it shouldn't. Hopefully.

I liked the first 3 episodes while episodes 4-6 felt really bad, This show really picked up from episode 7 onwards. Here's hoping for season 2.

They'll have to be expanding on the flashback at least once. At the very least, they have to cut back to part of it. They've got to show the flashback at least once outside of the DC, after all.

To be fair, out of all the arcs in the first four volumes I always felt that Yoshino's arc was the weakest in terms of actual execution (even in the source material itself), even if it was one of my personal favourites (mainly because Yoshino is just so darn cute), so it wasn't a surprise that it was the shortest arc (and also standing out as poor).

We also have the breather to thank because it made anticipating the final two arcs (Kurumi and Kotori) a much more rewarding experience, so to speak.

I third this.

Between Kurumi an Kotori, for me it's a hard choice. Both their names starts with K (lol), both have the same black and red color theme (although Kotori also have white), elegent, and majestic, and powerful. The difference is Kotori's style is more oriental and Kurumi is a gothic lolita.

Hmm... just notice that black so far is pretty common together with Tohka's theme being black and purple. Yoshino's the only different one so far.

Spoiler:

Now that we're on to Kotori's arc, it should be very interesting. Kotori's arc apparently did win a a lot of people as well. Battle time!

Spoiler for Episode 10:

I thought Kotori's pose for her version of the Save the World ED was surprisingly fitting and elegant, it definitely raised her status a few notches for me.

There's a 2nd version of the episode with fixed audio. There's also a third version that just came out a little bit ago, though I don't know what's different in that one yet.

[ImperialFlameGod8190]

noticed something very striking in the subbed version

Spoiler for episode 10:

Kurumi said about Kotori as expected of the first spirit subdued by humans does that mean that Kotori's spirit form is the one kurumi is after????.

And the funny moments for me were

Spoiler for episode 10:

Also anybody else not enjoy reine using her boobs to calm down shidou. Lets not forget ero-gami trying to seduce shidou while hurt

Spoiler for flashbacks:

The thing is there are 2 flashbacks. and while I don't doubt they will return to show Shidou's, but he was not present at Orihime's. I also have little faith in them as this is the second time they have cut her background since it was also cut when she told it to Shidou when he went to her apartment.

Spoiler:

Origami's you mean?

I mean that I think that they'll show Origami's flashback at least once outside of the DC. And they can't be showing the same flashback too many times without anything new added to it. The only new thing added to it would probably be the idea that Kotori was the Spirit who killed her parents. So showing the flashback once or twice throughout the entire season would be enough.

Kuroneko with Kurumi's eyes reminds me more of Akashi from KnB for some reason. *cue fanart of them standing side by side together* Honoez. D:

And then I predict that later on there'll be fanart of him getting her clock eye...

Got to say the first thing to wake up to is Yoshinon

Kinda late since I just caught up with this. Finally Kotori in spirit form, been waiting for this forever. I was hovering between Kurumi and Kotori but now with her new appearance, I can safely say my favorite is Kotori, after all.

Wow, Kurumi and Kotori are much more similar than I thought.

I don't remember Kurumi smiling like this in the anime though? While in her Spirit form I mean.
