K - ep12



The truth of happen to Shiro is finally revealed. It turns out that the colorless king killed Totsuka before confronting Adolph K. Weissman. Then when he tried to possess the first king, all he adsorb is his body and not his powers. This ended up resulting in a unintentional body swap because the silver kings powers and soul went to the soulless body that the colorless king abandoned. Then in possession of Adolph's body he dropped him from the sky trying to kill him but he didn't die because his powers as the silver king make him immortal. Although the trauma from the body swap cause him to have amnesia, and this brings us to the point where everything began.

Now that the truth is known, Shiro goes about resolving the situation. First he sends out Kuro to stop to fighting between the reds and blues. How this is done is that he reminds them of their place and that they should wait to receive their next orders from their king. While this is going on Shiro arranges a meeting between himself and second in commands. This allows for him to clear up some misunderstanding by showing himself to them as the first king. Once they are calm, he is able to explain that the colorless king lead them here to consume their powers. That he isn't going to leave before he gets what he wants. That is why they need to get the students off this island, because there is another threat besides the colorless king. There is also the danger of Mikoto's sword falling, which will result in the destruction of the island and everything on it.

Then to get the students off the island Shiro makes Neko his clansman and uses her powers to help him communicate with everyone on the island. Then with his instruction and the help from the red and blue clans they are shown off the island. While this is going on Shiro creates a barrier with his powers to protect them from the colorless king, which conveniently happens to be outside the barrier when Shiro made it. This set up things for the conclusion, where only the people probably left on the island are the four kings. However the direction that the ending will go in is uncertain because Shiro talk with the gold king seems to suggest that he intents to die in a way that will take the colorless king with him. Although victory by suicide doesn't really seems like the series style, but how will Shiro defeat someone that doesn't even have a body anymore.


Zetsuen no Tempest - ep12



Things are heading towards a conclusion, with the possibility that Aika was kill by Exodus's human avatar. That the tree of genesis used her death to move Mahiro to help Hakaze. However Mahiro doesn't like how this logic plays out because everything seems too favorable for Hakaze. This start a new argument that Genesis could just be shielding the killer, and trying to make it appear as if there was someone that served Exodus. Although when Hakaze begins to question if the tree of Genesis could have really killed someone for her, that everything is not just one huge coincidence. The tree of genesis answers her doubt of it power by sending her a missile because she was having trouble finding Samon's offering. This proves to Hakaze that it is possible that the tree of genesis had Aika killed.

Now after all this debate Hakaze is finally returning, and what a return it is. It's kind of funny that in the light of all that is happening, there is a bit of humor with Yoshino being alarmed surprised that she came back naked. Although this small bit of humor is quickly dissolved when Genesis appears to fight exodus. Things start to get confusing when it is become clear that maybe neither tree is really beneficial to humanity. That perhaps the best outcome would be if both trees were to lose, this fact becomes clear when Genesis kills both Yoshino and Mahiro.

The first question that comes to mind is why, they help Hakaze all this time why kill them when murder is suppose to go against what Genesis stands for. The only true justification for this act would be if Aika was the Mage of Exodus, but because of their close relationship to Aika it would declare them as enemies. That it might of only allowed them to live as long as they were working to bring Hakaze back. Also the brings up another point if Aika served Exodus, then the tree of Genesis would have a reason to want her dead. Also there is another point beyond that fact that Hakaze came back from the dead, but if that is true couldn't that mean that Aika if Aika serves Exodus could it be possible that her death wasn't as it seemed. Anyway things end with Samon and Hakaze trying to save the two, while the quote from Aika suggest that she isn't really dead.

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo - ep11



It seems like the school festival has started, it appears that things are starting to reach their conclusion or so it seems. There is also the fact that just because Sakurasou is doing something for the festival doesn't mean that they are exempt from there responsibility to their class. Then because this it appears that Sorata hasn't slept for four days, then on top of this he doesn't really have any free time to enjoy to festival because of what ever time he does have is use to met their dead-line. Then as things are continuing to progress, a new problem is brought up that Mashiro is returning to England at the end of the festival.

Then with this new Sorata isn't really able to focus on their project because he is worried about what will happen when the festival is over. This leads to a problem later when he is reviewing the project, that he can't really figure out what is wrong but just that something is missing. His indecisiveness irritates Ryunosuke, this leads him into criticizing Sorata. This cause Sorata to realize the problem that he wants to create something to move other peoples hearts but he is currently consumed by thought of what will happen between him and Shiina once the festival is over.

This is when Mashiro appears and drags him off to see Misaki confessing to Jin. Although it turns out that it truly isn't Misaki but her twin sister Fuuka. The only reason Sorata is aware of this is because Misaki was watching before they arrived. It turns out that the true conflict between Jin and Misaki is because he uses to be Fuuka's boyfriend. Although when Misaki hear Jin reject Fuuka about getting back together, Misaki runs off. However initial Sorata misunderstands why she is running away, that it was because Jin decide to go to a different college than her. This later proves to be incorrect that she is overjoyed that Jin reject her sister, meaning that she still has a chance. Then to Sorata this is draws a relative comparison between him and Mashiro current situation.

Then with new resolve, he remembers what Mashiro was trying to do with her Manga. That it was a reflection of her passion, this drives him to want to do something similar with their project. Then to this end, he wants to change the system a bit for the ending instead of yelling out the final attack. The audience will shout out the thing that drives them whether it be a confession or frustration that they have been holding back on. That their passion will drive Nyaboron to victory, everyone agrees to his idea and things end with the game being completed.

Little Busters - ep11



There is nothing that really happen in this episode to move the plot along, it was more about the overall interaction of all members of the little busters working together. However it was interesting to see them doing the classic test of courage, but it was funny seeing how the three different groups interacted together. Also the word play was funny by change the way on how you read Kyousuke Message, it would change from there are no ghost to there are ghosts. Although it turns out that both readings are corrected, Masato and Kengo encounter a ghost while it turns out that everyone else was being chase around by Kyousuke pet eagle that he set free.

K - ep11



It is war now, but the one that lighted the fuse is the seventh king that everyone has been pursuing. It seems that he or she is able to posses people or hypnosis them at this point it is unclear how he does this. Although because of this ability the seventh king is able to create chaos that start the conflict between the reds and the blues by using bombs. Also he use other methods as well such as sniping, and posing as an innocent to assassinate both the reds and blues. Then throughout the battle this leads him into possessing Kukuri, which end up leading him close to Shiro.

Although, because of this the seventh king has a second chance to kill Shiro. It appears that he has tried once before and fail. That this explains why Shiro fell from the sky, although when the seventh king tries to possess him. It cause Shiro to remember who he really is, while he is remembering Kuro fight him/her off. Although when Kuro tries to pursue he is almost possessed by the seventh king. Once Shiro recover he realize who he is, and that he is the first king Adolph K Weissman. Then with this realization The first king has join the battle, the question is how is Adolph going to get the Third and forth king to stop fight so that they can unite to capture the seventh king. While they still believe that he is the one that kill Totsuka. It just seems that it is vary unlikely that there is anything at this point that will calm Mikoto.

Zetsuen no Tempest - ep11



Now that they know that Hakaze is truly trapped two years into the past. They seek a way to break her out of the cage of time. This gets them to discusses how her voice is able to travel through time. It seems that if you soak and object in your blood, it creates a link between you and it. Also more complicated the shape more effective the link will be. This brings them the reality that there is something that they can use to transfer Hakaze through time and space, and that is her own skeleton. However if they use it than it will not remain there for Samon to retrieve and there for not be there now creating a paradox. Although Mahiro suggests that she leave her skeleton behind transfer to rest of herself, that their would be no paradox.

The only problem to all of this is that there is no offering to be used, and without they can't cast the spell to get her here. It seems that Samon confirms what they believe is the way to break out of the cage of time, and that there is an offering on the island. It just in his rush to retrieve Hakaze skeleton he never check if it was used. However he wants them to hear him out. That the tree of Genesis binds them all to it will, wouldn't they like to be free from it. You could even say that everything that has happen is too convent, that if Aika never died that Mahiro you never have wanted revenge. Then that would never have put him in a position to help Hakaze. That the one he should truly be directing his revenge towards is the Tree of Genesis. While Yoshino tries to convince Mahiro that if Hakaze was never trap on the island in the first place, than Aika would have never had to die. Then while trying to convince Mahiro, he conveys to Hakaze that he is buying her to time she needs to find the offering.

It turns out that Mahiro is aware that both of them are trying to buy time for each others goals. It turns out that Samon comes through first with the information about the killer being found. However Tetsuma gives Samon bad news because it appears that no-one from the clan has committed murder. This horrifies Mahiro because this invalidates everything he worked towards, since now the kill can't even be found by magic. This get into the point on why no-one from the clan can kill. It seems that if they do anything that goes against the logic of Genesis they lose the ability to use magic. However than they must ask Genesis to forgive them for what they have done, and even if it does. That doesn't mean that the clan will. This will result in the offender being punished by the clan, however someway the killer has slipped through the web of magic. Hakaze seems to have an idea the only way the killer could escape the web of magic and that is if they were serving the Tree of Exodus. That like how the tree of Genesis has her serving as it Miko, than Exodus must have someone serving it in a similar manner. The question become who is it.

The you have the fact that the tree of Exodus is close to completion, that it wouldn't be usual if Exodus's servant was drawn here as well. You have Junichiro that has come here but he is neutral  but he really isn't part of the clan since he can't use their magic. It is possible that he kill Aika, he also mention that if he was on anyone's side it would be Hakaze. Then there is also the possibility that Aika herself could be the Miko of Exodus. It would make sense with how all knowing Aika was about things that have yet to pass and how she has influenced but Mahiro and Yoshiono. Although if that is true than why drive the two to bring back Hakaze, unless it was to solve things once and for all.

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo - ep10



Rita's date with Sorata didn't get her the desire results that she wish for even-though Sorata Realized that Shiina's talent is kind of wasted on manga. It still didn't cause him to confront Shiina about returning to England with Rita. The reason for this is that as the director he has a responsibility to everyone to see that their project is a success, so it seems that Sorata is going to ignore all of Rita attempt to convince him until the project is finished.

It seems that Sorata is already running into some problems with his lack of talent and experience. The first issue is because he is taking so long in get the draft done it is putting everyone else behind schedule. Although everyone understands this and doesn't have a problem with it, however it doesn't change that fact that if something isn't done they will not meet their dead-line. The second issue is that they need someone to help Mashiro, but this means that someone will have to do double duty or they will have to find someone to help work on the project. The final problem is the student council that they want them to do a presentation of want they are doing for the festival, and Sorata isn't too happy about this considering that he is the one that will have to give the presentation since he is the director.

Then moving pass these pressing concerns, things focus back on the issue of Rita when Ryounosuke confronts her about her behavior. That he calls her out on her behavior about wanting Mashiro to return to England, that in the end this is merely because she was crushed by the weight of Mashiro's talent that she lost sight of want she wanted to do. This cause her to reveal the truth on why she taught Mashiro how to do manga, that she wanted her gone and how it feels to fail. However Mashiro didn't fail, she was successful once again. This only made her hate Mashiro even more, and there is also the fact that Mashiro probable doesn't even realize that it was because of her that everyone left the art school because they couldn't even come close to her talent. Having enough Rita runs off.

Once this happens Sorata tells everyone that they should go after her, but not before telling Ryounosuke that the thing he hate most about him is the way he says thing without think about how it might hurt other to hear these things. One the way after her Shiina brings up her realization that Rita hates her and how she doesn't understand Rita. This leads Sorata to explain that it's just that Rita is jealous of her, although Shiina can't understand this because she hasn't ever felt that way about anyone. Then Aoyama finds Rita, and they meet up with her to bring her back. Once Sorata finds her, he tells her about how he sees Shiina. That she was always alone, that even thought others in her art class wanted to get closer to her they never could. Even-though Shiina might not understand you, it also true that you have connect with her in a way that no-one else has. Then with this Rita returns home with them, and agree to help Shiina with her work on their project. That she will not bring up taking Shiina home with her again until everything is finished.

This action ultimately cause him to interact with Nishizono, which happen to be hit by the ball. Then because of this it leads to further interactions by him getting her something to help with the pain the next day.

It turns out that Nishizono has lost her poem book that she is always reading. Initially because Nishizono is call shadowless, Riki though that someone might be playing a mean trick on her. This leads to him checking to garbage, but it turns out that it is not there. Although it seems that Nishizono isn't too concerned about because it is just a book, that she can just buy another. That it might be better if they don't find it because people don't realize at time how much they actions can hurt other. Although when Kuragaya come back to help Riki it turns out that the book fell off her desk and the person that found it just didn't have the courage to ask around to see who it belonged to. Now with things resolved Riki ask her once again to join the Little Busters, she doesn't have to participate in the baseball practice but it can't hurt to watch.

K - ep10



Now that Mikoto broken out of jail, he has started to take action. First is with his quick strike against the school because he wanted to lock it down before his target could escape. While doing this it appears that the blues have closed off the bridge, make where even after they achieve their objective they will have to fight the blues. Although most of what is going on here is just setting the stage for when things really go down. Things are coming to a close but the new seventh king probably won't come out of hiding until the Reds and the Blues start fighting each other.

Then while all this is going on we see that Shiro's group has gotten in undetected thank to Neko. Although the second key point that they focus on is the interaction between Mikoto and Munakata. That before they end up fight each other, he tries to make an agreement with Mikoto. The reason for this is if Totsuka's murder is really the Seventh King and Mikoto fight him, than it is very likely that even if he wins the fight he will still lose. That Munakata wants to prevent unnecessary damage by preventing Mikoto from using his powers, by telling him he will be dealt with in any way Mikoto sees fit all he has to do is step down. However Mikoto wants none of this, because it is a personal matter and he wants to end it personally. In the end it simple comes down to they will just do thing in there own way, what ever the end results will be what they will be.  

Zetsuen no Tempest - ep10



Things start in with Yoshino's theory on how to create a time machine. However before explaining his theory, he states that the tree of genesis protect Hakaze to the same degree that he protects the logic of the world. Although Mahiro brings up another point which is that the world's logic is messed up because the exodus has grown so large. Yoshino doesn't denies this, and this is way Hakaze is at a disadvantage however this doesn't mean that she has lost. This is when he goes into his theory that the cage of time is nothing but an illusion and make Hakaze believe that she has already lost. Further more he mentions how Samon was so confident in his belief that they were communicating with Hakaze through time, that natural this isn't the first conclusion that someone would make. This is when he gets to the point that Hakaze was merely put to sleep for two years before dumping her on the island.

However during this entire time Samon has been growing ever more unsettled by what Yoshino is saying. Then when he reach the end of explanation, and realize that Yoshino theory is wrong. That they did indeed trap Hakaze in a cage of time but that fact is irrelevant because it comes down to the fact that he really has no way of proving it. Since the theory suggest that they can't trust Hakaze sense of time, he comes up with another idea that since the barrel is the same one that was on the island than if Hakaze were to write something on it. Then that would prove that he is correct, and since he knows it will appear on the barrel he feel that he has won. Although when it does, Yoshino becomes depressed.

However when Mahiro sees how Yoshino is acting, he calls him out on it. Suggesting that everything went as he planned, causing Samon to panic while raising Hakaze's spirits by giving her hope. It turns out that Mahiro was right, but from Samon's reactions there might be truth in his words that she is trap in a cage of time. Although it also appears that it isn't the entire truth, that there is still a way to free her. Then in this realization Mahiro isn't too happy about being deceived so he intents to amuse himself for the time being by trying to find a way to break this cage of time. Then on the outside you have the arrival of Junichiro, who appears to be another wildcard. The question is as the race against time continues will they be able to free Hakaze before all is lost.
