I thought metal only worked against hippies...
I kind of want to see that. Saki plugs the thing in the little critter's butt, and it turns into a HEAVY METAL MONSTER blasting music and vomiting fire and smoke... (I'm sure Saki has a tiny tank top and hot pants somewhere in her backpack. And then Satoru dies of blood loss due to nosebleed.) Last edited by kuromitsu; 2013-03-13 at 05:11. |

Dear lord, a mass of posts.

Certainly not anything incredibly badass, but clearly she must have found something in all these years of introspection. Does Saki have nothing else to offer but a broken soul and fear? Sure it makes sense, but it's not that satisfying. Quote:

Though, with 2? 3? episodes left, I can't see any way this actually concludes in a satisfactory way on the whole human/rat/corner humans have put themselves into in response to their cantus situation, and I kind of suspect it's all going to largely be inconclusive on that front, and end on a more personal level of simple closure for Saki and her ties to Maria's child. And, her narration blaming Maria will come across as overly dramatic and largely inconsequential to the actual conclusion of this story. I'd certainly love to be proven wrong, because I really enjoyed this show up until this arc (and do enjoy most elements of this arc, other than Saki and the knowledge that it has to somehow conclude in 2-3 more episodes).

OK, someone please explain to me how and where did Saki ever blame Maria for what's happening now?
Because if you mean that one sentence where she said "if she hadn't been born that tragedy wouldn't have happened" it's not blaming Maria, it's stating a fact. "I had a best friend, I loved her dearly. She almost died when she was born. Ironically, if she had died, that tragedy wouldn't have happened." It's a he. He looks like a girl because omg Maria.

What interested me is that what Saki will do if everthing falling apart or everything is over. Will she be the one who will manage the community ? What is her new world ? , since the story title is "From the new world".

Because it's Saki, and she's the obvious protagonist, the safe money is on some semblance of peace between the rats and humans, with a new relationship that provides the rats with a more equal partnership. I'm just really hoping they don't go the safe route. Spoiler for My preferred ending...:

Perhaps not. Tsuchigumo (土蜘蛛) means ground/soil spider and it's not a specific name of a insect species or insect group like other colonies' name are but it is a generic name for spiders which make their nest/trap in soil if you make sense of the name. Another and popular old usage of the term is for ancient Japanese people who were not under Yamato government's control, perhaps this sense is the primary reason of the name of the colony. It perhaps simply indicates their "foreigness" and the fact they are not controlled by the village or the humans and came from outside Japan.

Uff! Heavy dialogue I got in this episode.
The notion is that the fiend might actually not be a fiend, but a feral child who did not have his Cantus tampered with due that the Queerats raised him. Now, since the demise of the Giant Hornet's colony there's been a lot of speculation on Kiroumaru. How can we be sure for Saki to trust him, since Inui put forth on light with theories that Kiroumaru has not properly explained his actions for going with them to Tokyo again, in spite that his first expedition to Tokyo turned quite disastrous? Finally, I will be honest to comment that Shun's reappearance before Saki did not play enough of an impact to call the closing of this episode memorable or mind-blowing. The enigma is whether Saki, after recalling her memories about Shun back, has given momentary life to Shun's memory? or is he just an illusion or a construct of her thoughts? |
