The episodes in the US and Japan air at the same time. We're up to episode 21.

Just saw episode 22:

Spoiler for quick summarry of 22:

Great episode all around. Had lots of interesting interactions between all the characters.
-the scene with Akiyuiki's dad and tojiro was great. Tojiro's fate is left in the air at the end of the episode.
-the scene with Prois and Midioris father could shed some light on her past. (maybe her father abused her, which could also explain some of the things she said to Haru and why should won't return Tojiro's feelings eventhough she loves him.)
-Loved the banter between Ishu and Raigyo.
-Great ending again with Akiyuki's dad and Fusa

overall a good episode, with all key characters slowly moving to the same area as the show reaches its conclusion.

The feeling's mutual.

But you know, the cool characters are always the ones with a death flag on them. I only hope for the best for Akiyuki's parents.

...And I think I may have just unknowingly jinxed the series for me.

No Nakiami and her little Xam'd this time?

Spoiler for ep 22:

-Is Tojiro dead or alive? =/ How was he able to cry and reminisce if his brain got shot?
-I simply don't know what to think of Lady Sannova's holy crusade. I guess if you were born in that kind of altruistic culture, you won't find anything wrong in "dying for the world." For a lack of a better term, my impression of their belief is a bit eccentric and arrogant and saintly all in one.
-I hope noone dies between Ishuu and Raigyo.
-Lastly, I think Akikyuki's parents should have their own drama lol

Spoiler for response to a title and recent episode 22 events:

hmm.. Midori's deathflag was already up, now she also has a batsignal IMO
last episode will be her sacrifice I guess, poor Midori

[ThoHell]

Seems like I picked back up on this series just in time. I like Haru again... THANK GOODNESS! Wanted to like her in the beginning but then started to really hate her to the point of putting down the series, but she completely did a 180, a great plus!

[miroku2192]

I was wondeirng if this is worth watching...i saw a screen shot of it and the drawing looked kinda weird. I liked ga-rei zero, and someone told me that i would like this as well if i liked ga-rei zero...is that true?

They're completely different....... watch a few episode to get a sample of what kind of series it is.

[aardvark]

The official site uploaded a new trailer

It contains plenty of spoiler footage for the upcoming episodes

Holy shit the final episodes will be AMAZINGLY EPIC

[duckroll]

There's a new trailer for Xam'd up on the official site. You'll need a JP proxy or a JP IP to get the license to view it. A friend of mine is uploading it to youtube soon. A word of warning, it has footage all the way to what looks like the end of the series, mostly fights and stuff, but the animation and battles look AMAZING. It also kinda spoils the designs of upcoming enemies and the Emperor himself, but I gotta say, instead of feeling spoiled, it just makes me MORE hyped now. The end of this series is looking EPIC!

Spoiler for Trailer:

So when Xamd is kneeling at the end...is that Nakiami or Sannova?

Which leads into my next question...have we met Sannova in the series yet? Is that the purple-haired woman or someone totally diff?
