I wouldn't be surprised if that product doesn't already exist in Japan with the image of Aisaka Taiga on the bottle. A google search didn't turn up any results though.

Nah, it would have Rin Tousaka for sure. :awesome:

I'm also kinda irritated by the use of the voids in this show. They seem very secondary to the story...yeah we get that a person's void reflects their inner heart and all that, great. And that they are useful for getting out of situations or completing missions, great. But the convenience of it just feels thrown in there. I don't really end up liking the MC, because without the voids he's fairly useless as a person. Let's hope that changes?

Exactly, the only time when I thought that using voids was cool when he pulled the void out of the serial killer for the first time... all other seemed like crap to me. I don't like how they always have the right void in the right situation.

this series kind of annoys me, I havn't grown to actually like any of the characters. In most series there will be one or two characters that I really connect with or think is awesome for one reason or another. In this one I just want to punch them more than anything.

probably just because some of the other series this season are just so awesome and i'm subconsciously comparing them.

Watching: EPISODE 9

Well, i'm hooked again...That must have easily been THE most dramatic moment in the anime so far.
Spoiler :
Making Shu kill Jun with his own brother's void, BRILLIANT IRONY. The writing just got a crapload better since the last few episodes. And that Apocalypse virus is starting to pop a few question marks over my head :uhoh:

Eeeeeeh...
Spoiler :
Saw it coming a mile away. Now the two friends get driven way apart, and there's the question of the apocalypse virus and what it does to the people that wield voids. So the MC now will probably not only have to fight the enemy, and his buddy who is now for sure to be the enemy, but also himself to avoid getting the crystalline AIDS.

I would like more wheelchair girl & cat-eared companion please :O

Episode 9 was kind of... depressing. ;; And somewhat dramatic!
I actually felt like tearing up when the music kicked in with the replaying of Lost Christmas; but it wasn't emotional enough to get me. Wonderful scene, but not enough to bring me to tears.

Episode 10 was pretty good.
Spoiler :
It seems that we're finally gonna get a look at Inori's alter ego. I hope that the genetic resonance also gives Shu a new power. Maybe the ability to pull a void out of himself? That would be awesome.
