Zetsuen no Tempest - ep01



There are a lot of interesting things going on in this series, the key issue of this point are the non-characters. One of such characters is Aika who is Mahiro's sister but early on in the series it is point out that she is dead, that Mahiro left to find her murder. How even though she is dead it doesn't stop her from being a key focal point of the series. The other non-character is Kusaribe Hakaze who is a powerful mage that is trapped on a desert island, even though are protagonist never meet her that doesn't change the fact that she is still a key figure in the story.

Another interesting character is Evangelion Yamamoto, which initial seems like her only purpose was to bring Yoshino and Mahiro back together after a month apart. Which this event has also brought, Yoshino into the events that are unfolding around Kurogane sickness. However at this point it is unclear on what part she will play in the story will be. The other interesting fact is why she believed that Mahiro is responsible for the sickness. What is interesting is that Mahiro desire to avenge his sisters death will lead him into saving the world.

Although another direction that the series is going in is that there might be more going on than what meets the eye. The first thing is that the email that Yoshino receive from his girlfriend threatening him if he doesn't show up for there date, and him act like it doesn't matter. However at the end of the episode at the bottom of the email there is a picture of Aika, who through her interaction with Yoshino we are leaded to believe that she hates him. The fact is that everything that is happening seems to for some reason revolve around Aika, Yoshino, and Mahiro. It will be interest to see how things develop.
