Kay this show has gotten to the point where its unoriginality is kind of irritating me now.
It is so goddang much like Eureka seveN.
I don’t mean like only the characters (though they are) because if it were just character trait similarities I wouldn’t care.

But Lost Christmas = The Summer of Love.
And Funeral Parlour = Gekkostate.
And the Apocalypse Virus = Desperation Disease (bit of a stretch there actually, I'll admit).

As far as characters go:
Shu = Renton
Inori = Eureka
Daryl = Anemone
Gai = Holland
Ayase = Talho
Tsugumi = Gidget (debateable)

And I assume that
Spoiler :
Inori is a copy of some sort of Shu’s now-dead sister. If Gai knew Shu’s sister (which might work since he talked about Inori not being “her”) then lo and behold, Shu’s sister is Diane. Not to mention Gai said 'So you chose him too in the end as well' to Inori or something like that. AHERMHERM.
It's just... it seems so unoriginal to me because of this. I'm just seriously hoping they throw in a massive surprise into the plot for the viewers to witness (and I will flip many tables if my 'Shu's sister' idea is actually right).

But I'm not hating the show; I find it quite entertaining, but definitely not the show of the season. It felt like a show of the season in episode 4; now not so much. :\ 'Hoping the next episode will roll in some surprises.
Also this OST continues to amaze me. I want to buy it so bad. ;;

Yeah, I caught that too. But the virus is more like evil Coralians if you ask me. I mean...they grow on anything, have reality-bending powers, and Shu[=Renton] can tap into it.

C'mon, Eka. Lets not bring Eureka down from her throne of "The Secretly Beautiful Quiet One" to the slum of that "I don't like talking at all" Kururu look-alike (Air Gear).

And SINCE we're on the subject of comparing anime, am I the only one who caught THIS:
Spoiler :

Shu uses Inori as a weapon, Kimimaro uses Mashu as a weapon.
Shu joins a sect to destroy the government, Kimimaro Joins a sect to bring down the worlds economies.
Shu does not agree with Gai's methods, Kimimaro does not agrees with Mikuni's methods.
Shu can't admit he likes Inori, Kimimaro can't admit he likes Mashu (how do you turn down a kiss from a LITERALLY Hot 'n Horny, half-naked girl who throws herself in your face?)
:rofl: I mean, this show's budget had to come from SOMEWHERE, right? :awesome:

Watching: EPISODE 10

F*** you, Shu. F*** you. You are an asshole.
Spoiler :
The ONE TIME Inori begins to show some kind of emotion, you slap her and break her present. Is it just a coincidence it was during christmas? Hare bitch-slapped you, you deserve it. You suck moby dick, sir.

I definitely recommend it for one of the coolest fight scenes...

minor spoiler.
Spoiler :
Sword in one hand, girl in another, CHARGE IN ZERO GRAVITY AERIAL ACROBATIC fight scene... *whew*
Very long time since I've seen an anime protagonist do something this epic...

Not since, well,
Spoiler :
Bullet catch
in My Bride is a Mermaid maybe?

I want to hit her myself lol... I'm sure it's technically impossible for a lady in a game or anime to get hit, grunt/moan, and not be taken the wrong way... Anything gal's say is hot to us right?
