Things are going in an interesting direction with Neko removing her spell, it cause him to remember that someone dropped him from the sky before he met Neko. Now if he can only meet this man he might be able to discover the truth behind what is going on. Then towards this end Shiro arranges for a meeting with the blues to help him achieve his goal, but he also realizes that there are as much his enemy as anyone else is at this point. Although after Kuro manages to steal on of their phones, he makes contact with the blue king. Once he makes contact, he agrees to turn himself in if he can arrange for a meeting with the man that flies above the city. However it is a bit surprising that Munakata agrees so quickly, but he adds on additional terms to the deal. That the other two must turn themselves in as well because there is no guarantee that they would try to free him after he is in their custody.

It turns out that there is a deep reason why Munakata so quickly agreed to Yashiro's terms, that he was only really look for a reason to go after the First King. That before Yashiro's request he didn't have a valid reason to go after him. Although there is a bit of a problem, that as soon as the gold king becomes aware of what they are doing. Munakata doesn't doubt that he won't try and stop them, and this is why they need to move quickly. Although a few question his reason because to a degree it seem like he is doing it on a whim. However Munakata revealed that lately the First king has been acting strangely, with the sudden change of his route that he flies over the city that was mostly unchanged for decades. That one of these new routes brought him extremely closes to the murder scene. That it is highly likely that the First king is involved in the current event in someway.

This Leads to the undertaking of the current operation, although it seems like Yashiro isn't just sit back and wait for things to unfold. Then with Kuro's help they steal one of the helicopter that are going to the airship to confront the Silver king. Then because of Neko's impatiences things quickly take a turn for the worse, when their craft takes a sharp dive for the airship. Although moments before they reach it, the airship is blown up by the Silver King. The only question is where things will be going from here.

Zetsuen no Tempest - ep08

Things have reached a critical point where all the truths are revealed, that in the nothing is as it appears to be. It seems that the tree that was actually causing the Kurogane sickness was not the tree of exodus, but it was cause by the tree of genesis as a form of punishment for those who dared to help the tree of exodus. This leads into the deep truth about magic and the reason why thing that civilization has made must be sacrificed to the tree of genesis. It seems that the tree of genesis was born after the world was born, that if it ever was awoken that it would erase everything from existence and start the world a new. That what Samon is trying to do is control the resurrection of the tree of exodus so that it injuries Genesis to send it back into a deep slumber but keep it weak enough that genesis will scatter the fruit once more. The truth that Samon seek is to protect the world be maintaining the status qua, to keep both side in a weakened stated.

It seems that Hakaze has a different view on things, that Genesis will only fix what needs to be corrected in this incomplete world. That the entire world will not be recreated when Genesis awakens. Yoshino suggest that they need to think about what they are doing because Samon might be right and they will be destroying to world instead of saving it. However he shocked to find out that Mahiro knew the truth all along, it just that they didn't tell him because it would cause him to have doubts. That is when he realizes the truth about Mahiro, that he can't forgive a world with Aika. That a world without her doesn't deserve to exist, that what every the outcome is he would still get what he desires. If genesis recreates the world than Aika would return, if the world is destroyed that it got what it deserved.

The Last detail that is revealed is that Samon can't bring Hakaze back because she is dead, but for awhile they can't accept this truth because they are speaking to her through magic. However when Samon ask her what year it is, it reveal that she is communicating with the future. That only reason she is able to talk to them is because she has yet to die on the island. This seems to suggest that the tree of genesis cause the death of Aika so that Mahiro would connect with Hakaze, and then because this cause the potential destruction of the tree of exodus. What this means is that it's impossible for Hakaze to achieve her objective since she is dead, even though she is alive for the moment. Question now is what will Mahiro do now that the only person that could of helped him find his sister's killer is dead. There is also the issue of what will Yoshino do now that he knows the truth.

However when Riki she what is going on he step-up to defend her. Although their case seems to be really weak because, they say that she illegal obtain the cans from a vending machine. Haruka explains that she did no such thing, that when she bought one, she manage to win three more. However they feel even if this is true, it is unfair to the rest of the students that have to pay for drinks from the vending machine. This objection is a bit silly because it is like the casino complaining about someone winning on a slot machine. Riki comes up with a reasonable solution that if the three other cans are payed for there should no-longer be a problem. This what he does, and because Riki believed in her when no-one else did. This results in her joining the little busters.

In the end Shiro is not concerned about the fact that she did this but with the fact that they need her help to escape.

Then while Shiro is making a plan with Neko, Kuro is trying to sacrifice him self to save Shiro because he hasn't decide on whether Shiro is good or evil and until he doesn't he won't let anyone harm him. This leads to blue king revealing the importance of the colorless king, that he is the weakest of the kings, but his purpose is to maintain the stalemate between the other six kings by making to so that no one can win.

Zetsuen no Tempest - ep07

Up till this point it is a little bit unclear of what sort of relationship Aika had with our two protagonist. In the beginning we see the start of Aika and Yoshino's relationship. This leads her to tell him how she wants their first kiss to be special, and towards this end she has a plan. That they are going to kiss at her families summer home, that she is going to convince Mahiro to bring him along. Then as thing progress to this promised time, certain aspects of their relationship become clear. First you have Mahiro where he feels like he unconsciously wants a relationship with Aika, but he treats her as if she is made of glass which cause him to keep his distance. Then you have Aika giving a deeper understanding of Yoshino's character, that he can become what ever he needs to be to fit in however this means that he is a man without a face.

It isn't until much later that we see Aika's true character, that she is using Yoshino to force Mahiro to make a move on her. Then in a way Yoshino see this to a degree but isn't willing to accept it. He see that if how Mahiro and Aika meet under different circumstance they probable would of end up lovers, but simple because of the fact that they are in-laws he will not make a move. Then in a way this is reflected in how towards the end Aika had to perfect opportunity to kiss him but didn't which seems to implies that she never intention-ed to do. That it is a combination of Aika's action and the protagonist personalities that have leaded to them become trapped as they are.

Then towards the end it seems that Yoshino raises an interesting question what will happen to them when everything is finished. Yoshino actions seems to implies that there will be nothing to return to, that the world is ending and it can't be saved. That in the end Mahiro will get his wish to kill Aika's murder but the world would have perished by then. However you also have Yoshino's goal which was merely to see where Mahiro's goal takes him, because he has no honest wish for himself. Things feels as if they are approaching the finally when the series is only a little more than half way over, it will be interesting to see how thing unfold when all side collided.

It seems that she is taking on more than she can handle with taking care of Shiina, with going to acting school, and all her part time jobs. Aoyama is spreading herself to thin, and even-though Sorata tells her that she needs to know her limits. It seems that even Sorata can't get through to her and have her depend on the rest of them a bit more. This leads to him having a talk with Jin about Aoyama, however his opinion is that they should just leave her alone that in time she will realize her limitations.

It seems that Aoyama exhaustion catches up to her sooner than anyone expected, on the very same day that she was going to have her audition. Although everyone feels bad about the timing and all the effort that she put in, she just isn't in any shape to go out. However Shiina puts in her two cents, that if it was her she would go. This leads everyone to believe that they should be lending her a helping hand because it is something she wants to do and she will probable regret it if she doesn't go. Although they don't think it is the best thing they still offer their support to grant her wish.

Although once everything is done with, see is depress over her failure. When she meets up with Sorata she laments the fact that she didn't listen to him. That if she didn't try to do everything on her own then things might have turn out differently. However in her depression she expects him to call her an idiot, to scold her for her failures, but Sorata doesn't and tells her she did her best. It turns out that this is really all she wanted, was for someone to support her in her decision. That in the end to validated what she was doing.

Little Busters - ep06

Komari's arc is coming to an end with her remembering what happen to her brother, although she is still unable to accept it. This is when it is revealed that her brother Takuya tried to protect her from the pain she would suffer through in the wake of his death by telling everything was a dream. That this good intention ended up causing more harm than good, by creating a defense mechanism that cause her to believe everything was a dream and thous causing her to rejected her brothers very existence. However in the even of seeing someone die, it forces Komari to remember the truth. Then during this conflict it cause her to believe some else is her brother, which happens to be Riki.

Then in trying to help Komari, Riki realize that something are better left being forgotten. Although this truth doesn't help in returning Komari to the person she once was. This leads him to Kojiro, to try and find something to help Komari. However Kojiro tells him this has happen before, that any sort of death will cause Komari to relapse but once a couple weeks pass she will return to normal forgetting everything once more. It happen when his wife died, and that is why he has been distancing himself from her because he doesn't have much time left and he just wants to protect her from the pain that his death will cause her.

Now that Riki has the whole picture he believes that Komari must face the truth, because if she doesn't she will never be truly free. This is where he gets the idea to add more to the picture book, to allow her to face the truth that her brother may be gone but she isn't alone. It turns out this is all she really need to be free, this allows for her to look towards the future instead of being trapped in the past look for something that she could never reach.

K - ep06

It seems that the red clan motivation goes far deeper than just seeking revenge, this becomes clear as we get to look back Totsuka's life before he died. Although one of the interesting facts about him is how much he seems to be like Shiro, in his carefree ways. In the beginning it seems that Mikoto didn't really like him because he felt that Totsuka was an annoyance. Although later on we see that through his persistence Totsuka became accept by Mikoto. Then over time Totsuka is what held everyone together, through his carefree spirit. This is why when he was murder, that it drove them over the edge because of the injustice that they felt. In seeing what leaded up to Totsuka death their action may in fact be justified.

Then in parallel to Totsuka's final moments, you have Shiro questioning his existence. Then with this Shiro start to encounter that fact that people are forgetting him. He first encounters this when he calls Kukiri to get direction to the firework shop because he can't read his own writing. Although before that Neko acts strange, although when he does call her she doesn't even know who he is. This lead him to try and valid his existence by calling his parents, but it seems the number he called isn't in service. Then when he goes to his house, he instead ends up in a sports stadium.

This leads to the reason why Shiro was so desperate to justify his existence, because now he beliefs that he never existed to begin with. This leads him to think back to all the people he talk to when he was searching for proof and how they say he wasn't there. Shiro think now that it is possible that he killed this person, and hopes to have Kuro end his suffering by killing him. However he refuses because he isn't certain of anything. That they just need to wait and find out the truth, because there is more going on than just a simple murder. In fact I belief that there is some sort of link between Shiro and Totsuka. Since their personalities are so similar, everything seems to hint at the fact that one day Shiro just came to exist. This seems to point at one simple truth who is Shiro.

Zetsuen no Tempest - ep06

This time around there are quite a few thing that are revealed. The first issue that is explained is the fact that Hakaze is dead, and it turns to be quite a contradiction. Since she is able to communicate with Yoshino and Mahiro, that would mean that she is a ghost. However for that to work it would go against the natural logic that Genesis protects. However what was shown to Junichiro was not a corpse but a skeleton, so there is potential that Samon was trying to trick Junichiro. Although there is another issue that is brought up in relation to her death, that Samon had to have her die by natural causes because the genesis tree didn't want her to die. However it doesn't explain what the reality of Hakaze situation, and if she is already dead than what is to point of trying to disrupt Samon's plan.

Then second point that they go into is the importance of Junichiro, because he holds political power of the clan as being the current head. That if Samon was lying then there could have been a deeper reason on why he would want to get Hakaze out of the way other than fear of her power. Although the interesting thing is that even-though Junichioro isn't a magician, he is strong enough to keep the rest of the clan in check. Which in turn makes him into a bit of a wild card by him being neutral, that he has taken no-ones side. That he is just letting them fight among themselves. Although with Samon's minions trying to persuade him into taking a side, it may Junichiro to indirectly side with Hakaze.

Then there is the fact that Yoshino is doing things behind Mahiro's back because he feels that he is focus too much on his own goals. This leads him into give aid to this military faction that has worked along side the Kusaribe clan to keep magic hidden from the world. This leads us to find out what sort of deal Yoshino made with Yamamoto, that he would give them information in return of support. While it seems like it is not a true alliance because each party has there own objective, they are more of using each other to achieve there own ends. Which means anything really can break this fragile partnership. Particularly with Mahiro being ignorant to what is going on behind his back.

The last fact that gets reveal is that of Mahiro's relationship with Aika, that they weren't related by blood. That to everyone else Mahiro had felt more than just brotherly love for his sister, but Yoshino makes it seem like Mahiro himself wasn't aware of his feelings. That could also explain why he was so overly protective of Aika because he want her for himself. However this brings into question what will happen when the truth about Yoshino's relationship with Aika gets revealed to him. Things are really starting to get rolling with all these different faction moving to achieve their own personal goals, the questions remains what is going to happen when they clash.

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo - ep05

Things start off with a shocking realization for sorata, that Mashiro has never done anything but art and this is why she fail all of her test. This is a problem for him because Chihiro was suppose to help her but she once again dump it on him again. Sorata see it as unrealistic expecations to prepare Mashiro for her test in one day when she couldn't even answer any of the question. However it seems if she looks at the test question like art she is able in instantly memories all the answers in second. Although there is no-longer any problem, Sorata feel bad because she isn't solve the problem just writing down the answers. However it does absolve him of his responsibilities.

The next day he walk her to school to take her test and waits for her to finish in the classroom. This is where he meets up with Aoyama, however she finds it to be a little strange that he is still showing her around four months after she has arrived here. Although before she can pry much deep her alarm goes off telling her that she needs to get to one of her many part-time jobs. The shortly after she leave Mashiro comes up to him showing that she is finish and that she got a perfect score.

Then as Mashiro and Sorata are heading home, they run across Aoyama. When Sorata sees that she is about to faint, he runs up to catch her, this leads to her taking a break to talk with Sorata in the park. In seeing how overworked Aoyama is he suggest her moving into Sakurasou, although the people are a bit unique the rent is cheap. That there is an empty room next to Shiina's, however Shiina make things a bit uncomfortable with some of her comments. The reason being is that although they are true but their vague double meaning cause everyone around including Aoyama to interrupts them in a sexual way. However it does give Aoyama additional motivations to move into Sakurasou to personal observe Sorata and Shiina's relationship.

This makes things a bit complicated for Sorata because he tries to hide how messed up in the head that Shiina is from Aoyama. Which turns to be completely unsuccessful, and this cause her to realize why he was so close to Shiina. When she question him on why he is the one taking care of her, he explains that the woman here are not really suit to take care her so it fell on him to do it. In understanding the situation Aoyama can't allow for things to continue like this so she takes upon herself to take care of Shiina form now on.

This shift in responsibility cause a bit of relief for him so that he has more time to work on his submission to the game contest. However the resent program rejects his idea because he is think to much like a high-school-er and not like a professional, after this disappointment Mashiro comes into his room partly because she doesn't want Aoyama to wake her up and she just wants to sleep, but the larger reason is probable because she miss Sorata. They point more to this point that there is later on going to be a conflict between Aoyama and Shiina over Sorata because both of their works are coming out on the 10^th and he will be put in a postion to support them both. However this will result in him choosing one over the other. Although it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
