usual drill folks!
Episode 16: Summary and screencaps edit: screencaps are finally uploaded. flat out revelations and truth. Painful ordeal for Hanyuu, while Takano is delighted in the shadows... That said, the PART C reveals how the beginning of the end will rise. A neat paced episode, giving crystal clear approach of what happened. This is only the first glimpse of it, as the pieces aren't completely shown yet. Nothing to complain about, as the PART C was not butchered, though a bit shortened. That said, things go serious, and i guess next episode will be BIG on revelations for the year 1980 to 1981 or even 1982.

This epsiode jumps around so much that I think people might get confused if this is the first time they watch this. Just in the A-part, we started from Showa 52, then jumped to S55, then back to S54 and back to S53. Overall they have covered about 12/14 pieces, so it'll probably be impossible for them to cover all of the rest in the next 2 epsiodes...
Spoiler for Kakera Musubi:
Since we have a well translated pieces section here, these are the numbers for those who are intrested: Spoiler for pieces #:
In the end, this epsiode was nicely paced, and introduced many elements to the complex history. Next epsiode will probably be revolved around the events of S55/56

Wow, leaves a lot of musings/questions:
Spoiler for musings on episode 16:
All in all, awesome episode. I adore Satoshi and am starting to love Irie, despite his...lolicon tendencies. It is kinda heartwrenching to see what Satoko goes through and even moreso what Hanyuu witnesses, powerless to change it, over and over again (as well as Rika). |

Spoiler for hanyuu:
They also made Irie look to much like a good guy because when Takano is talking about bringing in a live subject. He's salivating at the thought of getting new info Taken from the game Quote:

The problem is that the anime has absolutely no way to cover Irie's past (the reason why he aimed for Neurochirurgy and then ended up in Psychochirurgy), hence, it is impossible to show the struggle he had before. Since Irie isn't favorable for such thing, but past isn't possible to show, they had to give him the fittest reaction which is "outraged, but can't argue much". It was a decent "adaptation", as Irie's struggle would require half a episode to explain, but also to point, as it requires a monologue as well. In this episode, Irie was struck by this, and even wondered "is it forgiveable?" Concretely, he was portrayed as he was supposed to be. this is even more suggested in the piece of the "first sacrifice" Spoiler for for space:
the rest is somehow the same, though Irie was trying to "persuade" himself of the justification of doing such. So seriously, no, he was humanized that much. He was already like this.

Well, that animation quality is about the same as the last episode, so I don't have the reason to add points for that aspect.
The rest of the episode is ok. Once again, I think Hanyuu's serious voice needs to be more...assertive? I mean, her cute side is very, very well-done, but the serious side can use a bit of power. I think Yukino Satsuki has a better "gomenasai" Once again, loved the scene after the closing credits. Now I know better than to skip everything after the song, haha |

No what I mean is that Irie was made into too much of a good guy, they should have shown that he was excited... even if it was only a little bit.
Also in some pieces his thoughts are borderline sadistic

These are still struggling like hell when he is "interacting" with Takano, and it is even more blatant when L5 are involved. Quote:
That said, for the specific period of time the anime portrayed, Irie is reasonably portrayed "accurately". Things might change later on, but with Satoko's case, i doubt it a lot.
