Uh, I think she has made clear and simple where/who her hearts lies with. so I don't think she has an indecisive romance interesting. her only problem for me is her train/mind of thought and not being able to think/plan ahead. She seems smart but also at the same time very stupid...kind of confusing. It seems like they gave great emphasis on how Haru likes to wait a lot of some sh*t like that, maybe she might get it into her head if she wants something she has to go after it.

Hmm, for some reason, this line of yours makes me think we might see Haru turn into "Haru the Yandere" or something similar... ("I'll get Akiyuki back even if I have to shoot off his leg and arms and rag him like that to the island! And woe to anyone who tries to stop me!" ).

Caught up finally.

It's too late for her to go after anything. She's in the military now. She has to kill Akiyuki or be killed by her own people. And she can't have Furuichi even as a second choice (backup). She royally blew it. Poor Nakiami had to apologize. I would have added, "And boy was he ever good.". Sometimes you just gotta twist that knife even more. Someone should have reminded Furuichi that 12 cm can make a big difference. When you come back to reality, let me know.

Finally I've caught up. I actually don't find any reason to hate Haru for how she acted in ep 12 and 13. I think that's the best thing she could've done for Furuichi in that situation and for her hometown. She's just doing what she thinks is right and I think that's better than just sitting around being confused or hopelessly waiting for Akiyuki. Her 'rudeness' to Nakiami is as expected and I think it showed her human side. She wanted Akiyuki back and she couldn't. Now, things have become more complicated. She may have been projecting her frustrations on Nakiami. It's not like she 100% understood why Nakiami did what she had to Akiyuki.
That said, the only reason I don't like Haru is because of a silly reason but really, there's nothing wrong with how she's acting to me. I can't blame her. I can't see her acting any other way given the type of character she is and the events she's caught in. Besides, I'm pretty sure whatever flaw that chips off her would be fixed later on. x_x Wishful thinking, but it'll be cool if they cut more screentime from Haru's side and just focus on Nakiami's journey. The only thing that drives me to watch the drama from the military is Furuichi's misery and Akiyuki's parents seriously. I want to know more about Nakiami, her clan, why she's so gung ho about saving humanforms, what is that big blob that swallowed her in 12, will she ever open up to anyone other than Ishu, how many facial expressions can she do and all those. She's so mysterious and is always very altruistic without asking for anything in return. IMO, Nakiami should've been the main heroine than Haru. My fave characters are also Nakiami, Isshu, Akiyuki and Raigyo. But Raigyo > Akiyuki definitely.

So are we getting a new episode on Tuesday or is the Playstation store going to take a break since Sony announced it would be two season. I would hope they meant two seasons of 26 episodes but not likely since for the Japanese that would be four seasons(unless that announcement was meant more for Americans).

Hold on, are you saying that one needs to be a saint in order to have powerful attachment (or maybe obession) to one woman? You're probably thinking that I'm talking about faithfulness or something then, but I don't (well, not ONLY that at least). One can be so determited or focused on one woman only (even if she's already "taken") that one simply doesn't have much interest in trying to move on with someone else, sorta. That's simply the way it is and it has absolutely nothing to do with being a "saint" (Furuichi certainly isn't one ).

If you're the actual physical partner of that person, then it's no problem as it's the ideal situation. Akiyuki is prob already a candidate for "sainthood". The guy was surrounded by babes and he was intially only thinking about Haru. Hopefully, reality of his situation and hormones would have slapped some sense into him.

REAALLLY late in talking about this, I first watched it and was like eh, but I gave it a rewatch.
Originally, I was like OK this is TOO Eureka-Seven-ish in the design style and type of story. But upon rewatching the 1st and 2nd episodes I came to appreciate the show on it's own merits. In a simple sense it's a cross between Miyazaki and low level Tomino in story feel and that intrigues me, also from about episode 6 on, I generally like how all the characters feel more like real people then anime archetypes (which admittedly they still are, but their mannerisms and dialogue seem much more realistic then some of the hackened characterization they do these days.). Fav char is prolly Akishiba so far, he's funny. Interesting to see if Sony would try to push this to America later, am I incorrect in regarding this release as merely for the Japanese audience? I admittedly don't know much about the Playstation Network. |

edit: Nevermind, it looks like it premiered in Japan in late September. Well, behind the US release. Anyway, they left us at a huge cliffhanger for episode 13. Let's pray they give us ep. 14 soon.
