It can be both

It canbe both indeed.

If it's anything like having a mild seizure or fit, no she wouldn't.

I'm surprised it took THIS long for something to come up with regards to imouto. They must have restrained Jun Maeda REALLY good.

Oh well, all must good things must end. Time for imouto to die.

x2

Plus she expressed worry about it back when she was introduced. Granted that didn't last long but still.

Well from what I heard the first five or six episodes were said by Jun to be slow with the story really picking up from episode six or seven. So it kind of makes sense that the imouto survived until this long.

Nice to see something actually happen. Would have been better if all those new characters had been introduced earlier in place of some of that bloody padding

Also; it it me or is Ayu kind of gay?

No, but she is one of the most anime little sisters I've seen so far.

The grim stuff came so out of left field that I laugh. Suddenly, crazy middle school bitch with boxcutter!

Is Jun Maeda some kind of meme.

I freaking called it. But collapse sounds...not so good.

Butter cookies, nice.

She actually saw through the Paper-Thin Disguise!

Where did the blood go?

Not sure if you're supposed to eat entire jars of mushrooms at a time, but I've never had that type so maybe.

For goodness sake stop shipping them.

Like maybe the little sister will die, but it's not gonna be from a little cold more like falling into a 50 meter hole in the ground she made with her super powers.

So, was friendzoned trying to protect her from something or?

Well shoot quiet friend was a yandere.

Oh, already?

Another team?

Save him Takajou.

The ED changed, this isn't going to end well. Lovely music though.

O-oh. New protagonist Wet Guy?

He really isn't good when writing things involving heavy drama that's inspired by some dark motivation. It's either boxcutters or some 'totally evil powerful authority figure'. He could get away with it in Angel Beats because the premise allows for over-the-top violence.

............

...Hmph, so you've appeared, episode of sorrow.

Sudden yandere was sudden. And Ayumi had quite the fall. Going up just made the fall harder.

...Hm, well, she met Yusa, so she can die happy! Aha! Ahahahahaha...aha...

Wait, there are other groups in the detect new powers business?

Yu's kinda in a pinch himself, but he should be fine. But he should be prepared. As demonstrated by a certain event, he may never hear her voice permeating the halls of his home again...

...Takajo eating the window^note He likes giraffes, eh? Why else would he fall for such a simple trick?, Ayu meeting Yusa and being a spaz about Yu and Nao's "relationship" was funny, though.

Man, that slow boxcutter sound was chilling.

The main character dying was a swerve I did not expect.

I don't remember stuff like that happening in past KEY works, sure tragedy happens but I don't remember crazy jealous murdering person being a thing.

So...anyone else thinking that the girl who appeared at the end is the title character?

!

Nope. I'm still sticking to the idea that the anime is named after the comet that's been mentioned rather than an actual character.

Oh, that's likely as well.

I enjoyed seeing Otosaka going down the dark path.

His powers are really OP in a street fight.

I'm a bit peeved they didn't go the whole way offing the main character.

Well, that lady's condolences to Yu was quite...dry. Anyways, as expected, Ayumi's death hit him pretty hard. So hard that he went on a downward spiral to self-ruination. It was masterful. Especially the street-fighting portion, when he was kinda acting like Nao.

Good thing Nao was there to save him from further depravity.

Heh, didn't think I'd see Shirayanagi again.

Takajo's home's quite vacant, indeed. Working hard? Something else? ...The Takajo route's about to be unlocked?

Wow, Yuu went edgelord.

Nao being there the whole time makes it dumb that she didn't stop him before.

Not really. He wouldn't have listened to her if she'd tried helping him from the start (same as he did for Yusarin and Takajou) and if she tried to stop him from fighting he would have tried to fight her which would have put her a great personal risk. Waiting until the point she did was the best option.

Also don't forget that she can only be invisible to one person at a time.

If she stayed too close when the fights were happening, everyone else would have seen her.

Sala Shane, lead vocalist of ZHIEND. Blind, perceptive, eccentric, and just the person Nao's brother needed to see. Also, she's quite the kindred soul, wanting to ease Yuu's pain any way she could. It's her way of atoning for a past life of corrupt fame, ya know? ...Although, she never did go into detail about how she gave up her eyes.

Makes me wonder how other scrambled^note victims of those wild scientists persons would react to something they desire. Would miracles happen or not? Of course, I have to see another scrambled person to verify that. Which may not happen.

Nao's a fan, but not a mega-fan like Ayumi and Takajo.

Oho, they sure went all out on their date. Nao especially. Quite adorable.

ZHIEND's concert was the TRIGGER Yu needed to clear up some foggy memories. And it is quite the doozy.

Alternate timelines. Time-traveling. Yu and Ayumi were caught by those crazy roaming scientists. And research facility? Riiiight, coulda fooled me, what with people being treated like criminals.

So Yu's real power is actually quite broken. Stealing other people's powers. And they stack! What a treasure hunter he is.

Kumagami and that girl were also in the same facility. And that girl uses hypnosis.

So Shun has time-traveling powers. Or...had? Because he's blind, just like Sala. ...Maybe people with powers will go blind due to overuse, or losing them once they reach adolescence? That's...quite worrying, if true.

Well, Shun's epic story of jumping through time will reveal all, hopefully.

Hmm... Final stronghold. Working in secrecy. Time-traveling to correct things. Ayup, it's like X-Men: Days of Future Past in a sense.

Also...Pooh's your name, Kumagami. If the kanji of Kumagami's straightforward, then he's actually Winnie the Pooh who has attained divinity.

Episode 10: This episode was actually pretty good. I don't feel the flashback was executed terribly well (I didn't really get a feel for Shuunsuke's relationship with his siblings) but his dynamic with Kumagami was executed fine enough. It's also novel that schemes to change the past in a series featuring time travel actually work as intended (seeing Yuu demonstrate the various powers he'd plundered was pretty awesome).

Though, I'm a bit disappointed that we aren't going to get any elaboration on why the box cutter girl was nuts. Also, Shuunsuke's friends in the underground syndicate he created are still pretty bland. I'm holding out hope they're given more depth in these last three episodes. However, it seems pretty clear to me that Takajou and Yusarin have been shafted from future character development (which really irritates me because I wanted to see them get fully fleshed out).

On a more positive note, the series did a decent job of having Yuu and Nao rekindle their friendship from the timeline which has just been retconned without coming off as forced or too fast. I hope Nao continues to be a solid character to the end. Also, it's clear something's going to go terribly wrong with the plan: it's just been too easy so far.

Jun Maeda, you better surprise me.

I do not know if it would be absolutely necessary to explain that cutter girl's deal. She seems like a case of "crazy people exist" plus right/wrong place/circumstance, right/wrong time.

Things have just gone amusingly smooth. Imouto is not kill

I've seen the Maeda Bingo meme and boy is it true.
