Campione - ep12

It seems when they travel to this interment world, they all didn't end up in the same place. Godou is unknowingly heading towards Sasuno the one that summoned him here, While at the same time Erika and Ena are content to continue their fight. When Godou meets Sasuno, this is when it get explained why Godou can never remember anything that Pandora tells him because it appears that she doesn't bring him there in the correct way that Sasuno did. When he question Sasuno on what is going on with Erika and Ena, this prompts Sasuno to lift the lid off the pot and show them what is going on. Once Godou realize what is going on he is very insistent on have Sasuno take him to where they are.

This leads us back to Ena and Erika, however it seems that Ena isn't bother by this interment world. Although it seems that just being here is sapping Erika's strength, that she is running on borrowed time. Now that she is in this situation, she reflects on how Godou changed her life. That she use to be a person that wouldn't act unless she knew that she would win. However after meeting Godou she change, once Ena here this she become even more determined to win. This leads to her surrendering her body to Ama no Murakumo, this transformation steal the mana that Erika was using to protect herself leaving her defenseless. When everything appears to be lost, she is saved by Godou.

It turns out the reason that Sasuno what him to wait was to give him the information he need to stop Ama no Murakumo. Although thankfully Sasuno didn't have to kiss Godou to do that, I don't that this series to go in the Yaoi direction. However before Godou can free Ena from the hold that Ama no Murakumo has over her, it ends up escaping by reminding Godou that there something else that is a greater concern. Once he realize the condition that Erika is in he tries to get back to Sasuno home, but it seems like he is not having much luck. The reason is that he can't teleport there because he can't visualize the place, that the only reason that it worked before was that he had an actual image to work from.

Now that it seems that there is no way of getting back there they stop where Erika tells him her last request. The last thing she wants him to do for her is to have Godou kiss her, although it seems that he still can't understand the reason on why she would be in love with him. This cause her to change it to make it clear to Godou that she really is dieing here. Once he does realize the truth, he passionately kiss her. Although once he does, there is another thing that occurs to him. That he doesn't want to lose her, this cause him to release the avatar of adolescents. Which allows him to give his divine protection to Erika saving her life.

Although it seems like everything will be alright, Ama no Murakumo returns. This leads to Erika showing off the power that Godou gave her. Then while she is fight the sword, this provide Godou an opportunity to rescue Ena from Ama no Murakumo. Although Erika isn't pleased with the position that they end up in. It seems that Godou is in a bit of hot water with Erika, however thing get much worse when Athena show up and eats Ama no Murakumo. Then with the shattering of the interment world, Godou is brought back to world of the living. Although it seems that Athena has been split in two and her evil twin is the one that is going to bring about the starless sky that princess alice foretold.  

Kono Naka ni HItori, Imouto ga Iru - ep11

It seem like things are getting much more complicated, that for some reason Shougo is ignoring the fact that Seri is associated with Yuzurina. That he is consulting and confiding in her, which is not a very bring idea. There is also the fact that Yuzurina seems intent on creating a divide between Shougo and Konoe. The other interesting fact is that all the advise that she seems to give Shougo could also apply to herself as well. The question is what will be the effect of Yuzurina pouring poison in his ear. It interesting because the person he should trust the least is the one person that he trust the most.

However the main focus of this episode is on his relationship between Miyabi and himself. That by not coming to school, she cause Shougo to come to her. However it seems that Miyabi wasn't expecting for Konoe to come along. Although when Miyabi realize that their isn't enough tea to make a cup for everyone, Konoe suggest that she will leave and get some from her room. In her absents the rooms atmosphere becomes very heavy, this is when Miyabi confronts Shougo with an ultimatum. That she will not return to school if he doesn't kiss her. Although since he is unwilling to do that, she takes a step down and orders him to go on a date with her next Sunday. Then Konoe returns when Miyabi finishes there conversation.

Then when Sunday comes around, things were initially tense but that doesn't last long. However for most of the date it has more of a vibe that the two were just friends, only thing that was an exception to this is when Miyabi was trying on different outfits. Then just when the date is about to end, Miyabi adds in one additional stop Lyrical Sister, which is the store that is own by Mei. This seems like there is very little doubt left that Miyabi isn't Shougo's sister, since Mei herself said that she was friends with his sister. You also have the fact that Miyabi herself is a bit antisocial, then why did she suddenly become friends with Mei unless they have been friends for a long time. There is also the fact that Ikusu is researching Yuzurina, that it seem that she has a past of being an actor. It seems that only thing that remaining is to reveal Seri and Yuzurina for the fakes that they are.

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai - ep11

Things start out with Ryousuke's mother returning, although initially she believes he is already dead because of the cloth over his face. However it turns out that he is still alive, when he wakes up she isn't happy about how it seems that he accept his fate. It seems that Lisara and the others still hold hope in the fact that he can still be saved. It turns out that Darnia is as hopeful because in her experience none have escape their fate. That from the moment a person is born, the date of their death is predetermine and none have escape that fate. Although Ryousuke's mother still believe that there is hope, that in her experience there is no such thing as a sure thing.

It turns out that to save Ryousuke what is required is that for Mina to receive a love confession from Ryousuke. This is the reason that they are going out on a date, in the hopes of awaking Mina's power. Then for the most part things seem to go well, that no interference is really needed. Although at the end it seems that Ryousuke couldn't follow through not because he was indecisive, which is usually expected in Anime. It turns out that he couldn't lie to himself or Mina, because he is truly in love with Lisara. That in the end Ryousuke couldn't betray that truth just to save himself, which is quite honorable.

Once Lisara realize what happen upon Ryousuke return, she wants to force Ryousuke to go to Mina and take back what he said. This leads to him explaining that he will not do that, although in the beginning he treasure Lisara like he did any other woman. However at some point that change and he truly did fall for her that he will not betray that fact even if that means that his decision will cost him his life. In the end Lisara doesn't have much time to be angry with him since he dies in her arms shortly after conveying his last words. This leads to the episode ending on a sad moment with everyone lieing around him in mourning.

Hagare Yuusha no Estetica - ep12

Now we are at the final battle between Phil and Akatsuki, it turns out that Akatsuki block the last blast from Phil but it resulted in breaking his sword. After-wards seeing how things are now, he tells Miyu that if she was ever going to believe in him now is the time. Belief isn't for when all things are going good, belief only has meaning if you hold on to it no-matter how bad thing might seem. Then with this she gives him her ring so that he can use his sword again, also before he leave Haruka gives him hers encase he needs another. It seem for the most part the two are even but that is until he equips the additional ring for the one that broke. This ends up giving him the end to final defeat Phil by increase the strength of his sword another level.

Then in the aftermath of the fight, it has cause somethings to end up changing. The first is that Phil's death has had some dramatic results in the other world. It seems that before Phil's death is known there appear to be a bit of an issue over the method that where use to try and bring back the demon lord's daughter. Although the arrogant king feels the result are the ultimate factor, that there will no-longer be an issue if Phil is successful. However once it is report that all the monsters that were under the Zahaag control are now acting differently, it is clear that Phil is now dead. Other than the major change in Alazzard, it seems that Cocoon has something call Plan Y that includes both two additional tower along with Babel. Although it is unclear where there are going with this.

It appears that we are building up toward the introduction of the next season when every that might be. Then towards this end, we have Akatsuki become aware that something isn't right in Alazzard and is making plans to leave. While you have Miyu revealing her secret to Chikage and Kuzuna. This leads to where he informs them that he will be gone for awhile, partly because he feels that someone informed the other side about Miyu whereabouts. It appears that they have no intention on letting him go alone, that they are coming along for the ride. Things end with Kaidou and Haruka forcing there way into Akatsuki's plans as well. It seems that it clear what direction the second season will be going in the only question is when that will be.

Campione - ep11

One of the first things that get addressed is how Liliana get integrate into the group. There is not much focus on this fact because it isn't done much differently than how Erika did it although Godou was more aware of what was going on this time around. It also makes a point on how she is now picking Godou up for school everyday since coming to Japan. Although his sister is not too pleased with Godou coming back from Italy with another woman, which ultimately creates more friction in their relationship. However thing take a turn for the worse when Seishuuin Ena introduces herself.

When Ena asks Godou to come to the Tea room, it is for the sake of introducing herself as his fourth mistress. Although because of everything that has happened it causes Godou to not think much about the use of the word Mistress, leading him to believe it is nothing but a title. Like he is called a King but he doesn't rule over anything. Through this perception it has cause him to think of the other as nothing more than friends. When he announce this believe unintentionally it stuns Yuri and Liliana because they believe that they were more than that. This cause them to start to distance themselves from Godou, although it doesn't seem to bother Erika in the least. Once they leave to let Erika and Ena talk, Godou is a bit concerned about Erika's well being. Although she return well, but it seems that Yuri and Liliana need time alone to think. Then just as it seems that Godou would be heading home alone with Erika, his sister Shizuka shows up wanting to have a word with him.

The next day he is eating alone with his sister, however Erika uses the current situation to her advantage. This being with the others distancing themselves from Godou, this is a perfect chance for Erika to ask Godou out on a date. When the time of the date arrives, Erika is displeased with Godou that he hasn't thought of anything. This leads to her tormenting him by forcing him to go underwear shopping with her. Unfortunately his idea is unimpressive with just bring her to various restaurants. When they are taking a break in a park, this is when she suggest going somewhere else than where they just serve food. Then as Godou is trying to think of something, she brings up all the destruction that he has cause since becoming a Campione. That simply dismissing those that help him as nothing more than friend was very kingly of him. When he admits that he knows he was wrong to say that, and he will need to do something to make amends. Then Ena appears as if she was expecting Erika.

It seems that Ena wants to remove Godou's Italian mistress from the picture. She believes that a Japanese man should be with a Japanese woman, that sort of thing is only proper. That towards this end, she intends to eliminate the others from the picture. However it is unclear if she also intends to remove Yuri as well as that she is his only mistress. Although Godou feels that is a very minor issue that there is no reason for them to fight. Then when their fight get a bit heated and steps in to try a stop it. Godou ends up falling into a trap a getting pulled into the underworld. Once Erika question Ena where Godou went, this cause Erika to realize he isn't dead and jumps in after him before the portal closes. The episode ends with the appearance of Athena which will probably be his only way back, but her true role in the story is unclear.

Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru - ep10

This time around what is happening in the episode overal isn't as important as what is going on in the background. The first thing of major importance is that Seri-san who is a trusted aid to his mother is a traitor. That she is either work for someone or connected to someone that doesn't want Shougo to take charge of the company. This is most unfortunate because of the DNA test it seems that she has all she needs to destroy his fathers name. Although Shougo and Ikusu find out about her plans, it still isn't clear who she is working for or why. Worse still is that if they don't have any prof about her actions there is no way that they can expose her for the trator that she is.

The next important point is that they are starting to cast some doubt on whether or not Yuzurina is truly his sister. There is the fact that Mei who is friends with his sister doesn't care in the least about Yuzurina, but towards the end is extremely concerned about Miyabi who to Shougo's knowledge has had very little interaction with Mei. This seems to implies that the DNA test that Seri sent was falsified, there is also the fact Miyabi out right refusal to take the test by implying that Shougo had other intentions. Then you have where towards the end of the episode that Miyabi is acting like Shougo is leaving her, and is love isn't expressed in a romantic way but a sibling way. Personal I find the DNA test to be misdirection on the writers part, and the deeper truth is that Miyabi is truly his sister.

Then towards the end you how a clear statement that Seri is working with or connected to Yuzurina. How this is establish is through how the other innovations were obtained, that he ask Yuzurina for help. Then he realize that she asked Seri to set things up. That means that she is directly connected to the traitor and she can't be trusted either because of her association with Seri. If she isn't his sister then she is trying to dishonor him in three different ways. The first being once the real on is found, there would be clear prof that Shougo's father cheated on his mother. The second is by have Shougo show up with all these different woman, it shows that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The last point is that if they can set it up where he is dating his sister when they reveal the information, that gives meaning to the reason on why Yuzurina would act as his sister for a time. The most troubling thing is that she showed up at his school the first time with someone that he knows now to have no go intentions.

Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai - ep10

In the aftermath of the battle, it seems that Ryousuke ended up in a week long coma because he overexerted himself. That everyone was overjoyed when he finally woke up because they were beginning to believe that he would never wake up again. It seems that they are up to something since Mina tells him that they accidentally put his computer and cellphone in the washing machine, how does someone mistakenly put electronic in the washing machine. Things are bit more suspicious when Lisara tell him that they sold the TV because they were low on money. When Iria comes by it clear why they are telling these lies, that they are trying to hide the truth about what his actions have unknowingly caused.

Once they avoid Iria spilling the beans, She goes into explaining that she will be staying with them because of her betrayal of Merlot. That by helping out Lisara, this decision cause Merlot to fire her. Which basically means that they confiscated everything she owned, that now she is homeless. Then after hearing this Ryousuke is fine with her staying but he want to know what been going on while he has been sleeping. This is when he informs them that he is going to a cyber cafe, however they don't like this idea since this would make all there efforts to hide the truth from him meaningless. This is when Iria suggest that they play strip poker, knowing that this would prevent Ryousuke from going outside to seek answers. However throughout the game Ryousuke doesn't lose once main because he has been cheating, although when the other realize what been going on they arn't too pleased.

Then while he is resting in bed after receiving his punishment, the story moves towards the last main point reminding. That point is that Ryousuke is going to die in about two weeks, although since Mina is the special specimen that Lisara was looking for all this time. It might be possible for him to be saved. Ryousuke keeps this positive outlook until a new Shinigami name Darnia Iahaato shows up telling him about all that has happen and what his actions have caused. That does he deserve to live when so many others have died. Although the one thing that is curious is why she is so eager for him to die, and since she is associated with Merlot. This also cast a bit of doubt on her intentions since Merlot help cause the rebellion in the first place.

Then with this change, it makes things very different from the world that Ryousuke knew before. That it seems also like the Shinigami are warden watching over their prisoners waiting for them to die. This is probably very true because people are nothing but food to them, that they must die for them to live. The question is that what does Ryousuke intended to do about it, and will he be force to sacrifice what little life he has reminding to correct his mistake. There is also the fact that he isn't completely human, it could possibly mean that he has to die to begin his life as a shinigami.

Hagare Yuusha no Extetica - ep11

It seems that Phil Barnet's Hidden Ace was the ability to turn into a dragon, but not just any ordinary dragon. It seems that he form a pact with Zahaag an entity known as the evil dragon, which is a dragon of legendary renowned back in Alazzard. It is because of this change that Miyu feels that Akatsuki is their only hope of winning but that fact will only hold true as long as he is in top form. Unfortunately since he is still suffering from the effects of the poison he is in no condition to fight, that is why Miyu decides to go off on her own to act as a decoy. In the hope of buying Akatsuki enough time to heal himself.

While this is going on it appears that Kuzuna is making plans to go after Miyu once Chikage wakes up. Although in her desire to make sure that Chikage would be fine, it didn't accrue to her that Chikage would catch on to her plans. Once Kuzuna leaves and find Akatsuki, that is when she finds out what Miyu is doing. This is when Chikage shows up arguing that more decoys they have the better off they would be. Once Akatsuki gives into allow them to go because they will probably be able to prevent Miyu from doing anything too reckless. Then just before they leave Kuzuna is able to pries out of Akatsuki on how long that they need to hold out for, it turns out that he needs a half an hour.

While this is going on Phil has chased Miyu down, but before he can really harm her the student council shows up. Although when Haruka starts questioning her on why Akatsuki has sent her off on her own. Miyu explains that he was poisoned that she is just trying to buy time, in hearing this Haruka gets excited about the possibility of stealing Akatsuki victory from under his feet. Then shortly into the battle Chikage and Kuzuna show up. This is when Kuzuna informs everyone they only need to hold out for about thirty minutes. In the beginning things seem to be going well but it appears that Phil was only playing them from the start. That everyone is quick defeat with a short burst of energy from Phil.

This leads to Phil once again antagonizing Miyu, but it doesn't last long once Akatsuki returns. This leads to them going head to head again but it doesn't go so well as we would hope because Phil instantly heals any damage that Akatsuki inflicts. That it seems to turn into a war of attricion, however towards the end it seems that by fusing chi into his attack. This allow Akatsuki to injure Phil in place that he can't heal. It seems that they are going to finish thing with one last attack, but the writers leave us with a bit of a cliffhanger with the resolution being a bit unclear.

Campione - ep10

It seems after Godou received the message from Persues, they return to the Bronze Black Cross HQ to discuss a plan on how to deal with Persues. Although Liliana's maid Karen brings up the key issue. That Liliana needs to give Godou the knowledge of Persues origins that she obtains from Athena, however she is hesitant because she only wants to kiss her soul-mate. This is a bit of a problem since learning the information from book is impractical, and Persues isn't going to wait months or years for Godou to read all the information that he needs. This leads to Karen suggesting that she pass the knowledge to her and then she will teach Godou the information. Although seeing that he really doesn't want to force to do something that she really doesn't want to do, he leave to make his way to fight Persues under the guise of going to the bathroom.

After Godou has just gotten off a bus he is discover by Liliana, this forces him to explain why he end up going off on his own. That he didn't want to force her to do something against her will considering that only a short while ago, she had to do just that when she served Duke Voban. That he didn't want to put her through something similar, that is why he won't order her to do something against her will just so that he can win. Then it turns out that they no-longer have the time to discuss this issue because Persues has gotten tried of waiting, and this is why he has personal shown up to escort Godou to their arena.

Things go as well as things could for Godou since he isn't any better off from the last time that the fought. Initially he tries to fight Persues indirectly by using the power of the Ox to give him super-strength to throw things at Persues from a distance. Then when Persues subdues Godou, he tries to finish him off by shooting him with an arrow. However it doesn't kill Godou like before because he block it with his arm. This is when Liliana decides that she will help Godou to the full extent of her ability. Then with this Godou finally receives the knowledge he needs from Liliana.

This allows for him to truly fight back because he now know the true nature of Persues and why he is able to void his abilities. That Persues's true name is Mithra, the reason that this was important is because Verethragna the god war that Godou defeat served Mithra the god of the sun. That is why he couldn't win before, that by fighting Persues he is trying to defeat his master. Now with this knowledge Godou is able to server Persues authorities and with it his ability to subdue him. While it didn't finish him off. It allow for Godou to have a fighting chance.

Then with the change in the situation, Liliana step in to assist Godou. Although this action helps Persues because he uses one of his abilities to turn Liliana against Godou. This doesn't present a problem because Godou doesn't want to hurt her. It does take time but eventually he bring Liliana around. However in the process of bringing her around he gets stabbed by Persues sword but it seem that Godou wanted something like this to happen because it allow him to use the camel which gives incredible stamina and great leg strength. This power allow for Godou to corner Persues while Liliana pins him to the ground with an arrow. Now with him trapped Godou can use the boar to crush him, leading to his defeat.

Then with Persues defeat, Godou faints from exhaustion. Then when Liliana is about to kiss Godou for the sake of healing him. Her chance gets stolen by the appearance of Athena who kiss him instead because Liliana was too slow. Then kiss him again just because she felt like it. It seems that she is interested in Godou saying that they will met again. Also it seems that she expecting that Godou wouldn't finish Persues off, that is why she finished him off. Whether it was because she hated him or that Athena didn't want Persues to trouble Godou in the future is unclear. Although it seems that Doni had a similar idea for different reasons. Things end with Liliana nursing him back to health, but Godou is happy to see Erika and Mariya when he wakes up. Although this doesn't last long when it clear that they are displeased with his new relationship with Liliana and this concludes the latest arc.  

Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru - ep09

Now with the most recent fake sister revealed the story moves onto it next development. The new direction the series is taking is interesting, the new arc begins when Shougo gets a new neighbor. Then later when they come over to introduce themselves, she introduce herself as Hosho Yuzurina his sister. This leads to her coming inside where she explains herself, that officially she is his second cousin from his fathers side. Although she does tell him that they meet when they where younger, however he doesn't get a headache like when he ended up meeting Konoe. Ultimately with all the fakes that have appeared so far it is a bit strange that she decide to show up now, that she waited all this time until after the funeral to contact him.

However with a call from Kanoko the story returns to it's central focus, that the real reason for Shougo to go to school is to find a wife. Although hearing this it seems that he forgot about that point with all this searching for his sister with no real results. That is unless you count the person herself knocking on your door. The real problem is what his mothers call reminds him on why he is there but that he is expect to bring his future wife or a girlfriend at the very least to the party. This is a bit of a problem for him considering all that has been going on, although he does have a few people he could ask. The issue would be the image that they would create by going with him to this party.

Then after creating this problem the series quick put the issue behind it by moving to the next day. While enjoying swimming in the pool during PE, Mana and Rinka come along with his Yuzurina in tow. It seems that they are showing her around, however it interesting why Yuzurina announces that she is his sister in-front of all that are gathered there. Even if she is his real sister why is she suddenly trying to discard all effort of secrecy. Another things is that Mei is suppose to have already met and became friends with his sister, so why does she act as if this is the first time meeting her. Things get more complicated after her introduction.

The reason for this complication is when she ask her brother who he is going to bring to the party, it clear must be someone here since they are all so close to him. However it seems like she is intentionally trying to create conflict, and in this she is successful. Rinka acts like it obvious that Shougo is going to bring her, this cause Miyabi and Konoe to but in. This sudden conflict cause Mei to be interested in going just to see what it is like, then strangely Mana steps in acting like she will be the one he chooses. The conflict is end when the teacher walk in on them in a compromising situation after eavesdropping.

Then later that evening we find Konoe preparing dinner for Shougo, and afterwords playing around when she says that she won't leave until he has desert meaning her. While playing around his sister get interested and start to listen in on what is going on. Although when it become more than what she can take she hits the wall causing it to shake. This changes the atmosphere for them leading to Konoe going home. That when they are about to part Konoe suggest that he give her a goodbye kiss. Then just as he is about to he stops because he feels like someone is watching them. Although we never do find out if they kiss or not. The episode ends with Shougo getting the result from the DNA test on Hosho Yuzurina saying that they are related. However at various points I felt that Seri his mother's aid and Yuzurina are up to something. That perhaps Seri isn't all that trust worthly and Yuzurina is working with her to achieve something. It would be surprising if Yuzurina is another fact sister since there isn't a hint of a memory of her.
