so much aono hate
and thats it for takeshi's and mayuko's past...besides what more is there left to know? (and having a "how they grew up" story would be crap...) ~ the remaining eps would just focus on the love triangle now...

Sometimes the reasons why people hate Aono tend to seem humorous, yet logical as well. Recent Matsuri scenes seem to be garnering more support or sympathy (Don't know which is more) for her, and in effect Yorito (since I'm under the impression that no one really likes Yorito that much except for the fact that he's close to Matsuri) . What happens to those who oppose or hurt them?
That being said, Aono does need a wake-up call from someone. Preferably someone unexpected, someone that has yet to feature much in the Aono vs Matsuri scenario. |

9.
Matsuri's power leveling is pretty bad but it hasn't reached true shonen levels. She didn't win either match. A true shonen hero/heroine would have power leveled enough to win. When that happens, then it becomes time to seriously dock points. More troubling was the way Mayuki's actual death was in comparison to the the way it was portrayed back when Takashi stopped after slashing Yorito. It showed Takashi helpless to protect Mayuki against multiple faceless antagonists. In this episode Takashi arrives long after the deed is done. I guess the older episodes mirroring of Yorito's protection of Matsuri to Takashi's imagery was just that. It was nice to see that I was wrong in assuming Yorito would interrupt the match, though. |

What I'm not sure about is if it's absolutely necessary for one to be revived by another Yaka to become a Yaka... since that'd beg the question of how Yakas first originated ._.
I don't believe it's necessarily true that Mayuko was revived by anyone; Yakas are formed by depression and anger and sadness and stuff, after all; maybe Takeshi's emotions and the death of her whole family were enough to effect the change...? That someone else told her that she'd become a Yaka doesn't mean that person had to have revived her (although it does seem to be a popular theory, no?): that there were people who knew about Yakas (I doubt Takeshi would've gathered all his information from other Yakas who conveniently walked by without him killing them) meant that it might have been someone else... or, if it was a Yaka, then that Yaka might not necessarily have brought her back. She might even have reached a plane of limbo before she was resurrected into a Yaka: a plane where she was told of what she'd become by some older figure... All of these seem just as probable to me... albeit it doesn't link everyone together nicely... I mean, sure, it would've been really cool if it turns out everyone was linked together from the start, but I don't think that always happens. As it is, I think it's not a bad way to close the thing. Theories are plausible, but I think it's reached just about as much of a conclusion as I'd care for without everything becoming too coincidental... Ah well. Enough about my dumb speculations.

Finally managed to watch Episode 9 in full sound, and this is the first day of my return to Singapore, too. I swear, I didn't realize it was this hard to get a connection in Western Australia.
So, my much belated thoughts on this episode... 1) Nope, I didn't like the Aono-Matsuri battle, too. Lack of tension aside, Aono's fighting style looking like a cross between Gambit's card-spam and the Freedom Gundam's beam-spam just didn't do it for me. >_< 2) @ Skane-sama, You forgot to mention that, for some inexplicable reason, Yorito's bicycle can remain standing without training wheels when he lets go of it. Logical and animation plotholes in the same frame....there's a few heads at Nomad I would really like to Mana-chop right now. 3) Okay, I thought Yorito's VA made a good reckoning of himself in the last episode.....I take that back. His freak-out this episode was just bad VAing, period. It really exposes his rookie status this time round. 4) Damned, Mana is a friend I would kill to have. 5) Props to the seiyuu who did the adolescent Takeshi's voice. The tone in his voice reflected the character quite perfectly at every point in time; from his more carefree days, to his sudden maturing as newly self-appointed guardian of Yaka Mayuko. 6) Oh, power-levelling. >_< That aside, the Matsuri-Takeshi battle was actually one of the most well executed Sola battle episodes IMHO, with cuts of Takeshi flashbacks intersposing pretty well with the actual fighting. Now this is one fight that actually has a good dose of emotional tension behind it. 7) The 'Mellow Melody' sequence was.....beautiful. I almost cried there. In conclusion, an 8. Too many holes in this episode to justify a higher score, but the great character development of Takeshi-Mayuko really makes up a fair bit of it. I hope that's not the end of them though; they had better not drop out of the story altogether. |

You lie!!!
Well, Aono's definitely gone off the edge. Probably the best episode so far; I'd give it a 9. I liked how Mayuko and Takeshi got some decent background here. Unfortunately their relationship is probably the best built up so far. We will have to see if Yorito will actually do something now.
