BAH! The end result is SO obvious! Hell, even I knew it! :D

This series has officially gone through changes no derivative harem series has ever went, EVER! Excellent stuff; on to episode 22.


Oh man, if this ends in tragedy [like so many would-be godly anime end up going], I'll definitely protest... Then again, a wishy-washy moron like Rin deserves a shattered heart in my opinion...

The way it's going, despite being of h-game origin and lots of fun-fun moments, I think this series will end up flat on its proverbial b00bs if the ending goes the route of tragedy. Again, this is just my opinion and I expect very few people to agree with me.

Then again, I switched Please Teacher for Girls Bravo as my #1 anime after finishing it so that just goes to show how happy-go-lucky I am... :D

Im not sure about episode 23, but I know the last one wont be out until after new years because it interferes with new years eve showings or something. Which means we'll have to wait a bit longer. :cry:

But Rin actually admitted that he's a wishy-washy moron when he's about to confess to.........you know. :wink:

He finally wants to change and move forward.


Let's see what the next set of events will present. Hopefully Rin will stick by it. :roll:

I'm up to ep. 17 and I can't wait to see 18, If it goes as expected, I may have had a little bit of a foreshadowing.... This series is really getting good... Can't wait for the rest of the series!!!

I don't know why, but is anyone else a little uneasy about downloading fansubs? I just all of a sudden got creeped out. I'm not gonna download anymore.... I guess I'll be a good boy and wait for the US release, even if it is in 3 years.....LOL, guess I'll just have to read what happens in the spoiler boxes....(I hope Asa gets better in the show :cry: [She's my fav])

Bah. I live in Australia and the amount of anime we get is surprisingly little (a series has to have a fairly solid following in the US first then we'll get it 6 months to 2 years later...)

Almost NO anime is shown on TV (I think GitS:SAC is the only thing on) so DVDs or the internet are pretty much our only resort.

Just buy the DVDs of the shows you like when they become available. I've downloads shows and since bought DVDs for around a half dozen series now. The ones I really want have either just been licensed in America (Naruto) or are still Japan only at this point (Bleach). These will get bought as soon as they put them on shelves. :)

Back on topic:

I really liked when Asa gets pissed off at Rin for still using the -sempai honorific, pointing out that she has switched to calling him -chan. I've always loved the subtle ways in which Japanese honorifics are used and having it be brought to the fore in this way was great.

And, of course, Rin being Rin can only manage to switch to -san. Then gets set back when she collapses again. Damn. I hope she recovers!

Yeah, now that I think about it.... by the time the series comes out, I'll probably be living in Japan....LOL. But, I guess that fansubs haven't been attacked yet due to the fact that they help the anime industry!

Episode 23, SECOND TO LAST EPISODE! :D

Two important things that's worth mentioning. Ama, the hot MILF, finally takes off her cat hat, and........I bet you can guess. :wink:

Asa's sickness has been revealed, and it's all because of her mom (not to blame her or anything :roll:)


Damn, I don't know if I want a depressing ending or a happy ending. :cry:

I'm predicting the happy ending now. Personally, I think the harem ending would be the best.. but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen.

What I think is going to happen is:
theoretical spoiler wrote:He will FORCE Ama to use her magic. He's gonna take that razor blade in his pocket and tell her that he can't live without her or something like that and slashy, slashy, chop up his wrist. She'll cry and weep and so on. We'll get a big flashy magic show and he'll live. I'll bet that he actually dies, and she brings him back, thus completing the experiment in the search for immortality that ruined most of the girls lives in the first place.

I agree with the general premise there.

more theoretical spoilers wrote:It may just be my Harry Potter sleuth-ness coming through but that razor blade was pointed out twice in the last episode which suggests it has some part to play. I don't think Rin will threaten suicide - probably more like what he did with Primula and use his "mega-emo power".

Speaking of which, I'm wondering why Rin hasn't gone to see one of the lords about this. They might have a solution. And if he doesn't want them to find out - what about Primula? She might have a few suggestions as she has experiance in this area!

I'm sure that the Yggdrasil project will play a part in some way. Someone has to die for it to be used. Maybe it will just be Asa but Rin will unlock the power in her and bring her back to life.
