Yeah, intentionally trying to get into an accident while on a motorcycle seems to be all kinds of stupid. Not that I'm giving him tips, but maybe a car with some seat-belts might have been a better option

The reason can be various. Some would get a fullfillment feeling of being the “elite” or “superior” who know more than others do. Some others simply want to join the fun. The rest has their other reasons.

I’m a manga reader myself (but not Zetsuen manga) and I never took part in any anime-only-speculation conversations if I already know the story in the manga (assuming the anime follows the manga closely). Thus, there’s no need for me to pretend about anything. Such as in Code Breaker and Hayate anime threads, I only adds some manga references of events which already happened in the anime and in case some other posters request it for clearer-explanation’s sake.

so that's why Yoshino said they are not friends, but both of them seem to regconise each other's importance, next should be Aika's story revealed?

at the end, maybe they are trying to show us Mahiro is not as cold as we thought

mechalord · 2012-10-28, 23:51

They pretend to not be friends but they sure act like best friends. How about the way they meet? Yoshino solves Mahiro's attempted murder. One is the brawn and the other one has the brains.

Why do you want anime original stuff after 4 episodes? I'd like this thing to go on for 26-52 episodes.

This anime rocks, everything about it. It's got the FMA+DTB thing going in. Probably my favorite of the fall.

I'm enjoying it, too, but the current best guess, based on planned DVD/BD releases, is 12 episodes. More could come if the first season sells well, I guess.

Actually the official website mentions that there's more than 6 volumes so it's two-cour. The initial 6 volumes listed by Animate is for their store exclusive collection box, while Vol.7 to the last is for another gift.

Yup, indeed -- I missed this mention before. It's possible that that page wasn't on the official site when I found the solicitations on Animate and other shops (but now I see that they only show it as "1-6"; other two-cour Aniplex shows were listed together, hence my confusion). Anyway, you are indeed right -- should be two-cour. Will make the correction!

Great. I hope if this one goes "anime-original", they will add the new direction early-on like FMA (original) so that the story quality doesn't take a dive at the end like Claymore & Yumekui Merry.

Great news. I was really shocked to hear it would only be one-cour. With 22-26 episodes they should have enough to properly adapt up to some point (manga's still running after all so I hope we won't get some half-assed anime original ending).

OkamiNoKaze · 2012-10-30, 10:19

Looks like Mrs. Hughes is in the next episode.

Deltaray · 2012-11-01, 14:41

Pretty nice episode, little anime original material, but it still kept going like manga goes.

Next week should be start of the "fun" part.

ookamigirl · 2012-11-01, 14:44

Samon is playing a dangerous game.
I bet it will backfire sooner or later..
Aika & Yoshino at the aquarium flashbacks was nice ^^
Tetsuma makes an attempt to catch those two.
They made a nice run for it, successful as ever LOL
Can't wait for Hakaze to get off her island!

LKK · 2012-11-01, 14:55

I think we got a hint there at the end as to why Aki was murdered.

Confession time. Whenever the short-haired blonde came on in the OP, I thought the character was a girl. Imagine my surprise...

I like the way Mahiro and Yashino feed each other intellectually. One will come up with an idea and then later the other will use the first idea as a springboard to another idea. They have a good working partnership.

Spoiler for Episode 5:

mistress_kisara · 2012-11-01, 17:39

I must admit that the ending of episode 5 suprised me a lot. But I was also waiting for the ball to drop because Hakaze was just too overconfident for her own good :P

miroku2192 · 2012-11-01, 19:47

ep 5 wow...that was certainly quite a twist at the end

Alternate universes/time-lines anyone? (Steins-gate anybodyyy i wonder which world we're in :X)

Only problem is, if this is time-travel, wouldn't that mean her death is inevitable? Since she's all bones in the barrel now, which would imply if she isn't bones yet, she will be? So that would mean we're looking at potential alternate worlds instead? But how would alternate worlds factor into the story is my question, as in how would that contribute to the continuation of the story? And if we are in alternate worlds, how is the author going to explain the little wood speaker device? How the hell do you communicate between two different worlds? She just threw it into the ocean.

This doesn't make any sense, i can't logically reason something out.

novalysis · 2012-11-01, 19:56

The ending of the episode was an impressive twist and curveball.

Hands up. How many saw it coming?

I suspect we are now way out of the Introduction, and into the thick of the main plot.

But of course, Mahiro's sisters' quotation of Hamlet suggest that the Fruits of Genesis and Exodus is only part of the story here. There may be something more here, beyond the Kusakabe's clan's philosophy and cosmology.

Elestia Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Location: California	Spoiler for Spoilers: Well the ending certainly caught me by surprise. I'm going to eagerly await how they're going to explain this Schrodinger paradox. Aika's disposition also makes it seem she knew about her death beforehand. She is probably the most enigmatic character despite being dead since episode one too. __________________
