the moment when you realise what the ending of mirai nikki is about <3 :D

Even though the ending wasn't as complete as I wished it to be, it still was nicely done since the Julian and the republicans have hope. The death of Oberstein also allows post-Reinhard politics to transition smoothly without the admirals ganging up on him. Reinhards death was a little dissapointing, but seemingly majestic at the same time. I'm sincerely surprised that more people don't know about this anime.

Who is dead? Just about everybody if this keeps up. Lots of gruesome deaths in this episode. Seriously, what the hell is going on? So they play the tape and cite Mei's eye as proof enough that she's the extra. I know that they want to end the calamity but that's all it takes to persuade them? Really? I understand that everyone's irrational after the contents of the tape is disclosed and that they want to end it asap but think about it a little bit. Besides that you have the fire/explosion, the inn's caretakers, the missing Kazami, the stabbed Maejima, the list goes on. WTF?

Mei seems to be taking things into her own hands now. I've ruled out Akazawa as the extra because Mei could've killed her at the end of the episode and we'd be done with it. But her vow of revenge for Takako pretty much has me thinking that she'll die anyway.

I killed DJSIFFNEWPWRE ! No one remembers PFINGDOWROD .
"huehuehue I'm driving away the extra person so you can't get rid of him"
kicked in nuts ? no problem ...

oh hey I fell and am doing exercises
oh the best part, how does that girl get strangled in those wires and lunged into the roof to be choked to death...

Well, that was quite a fun episode. Lots of murders going on here. Little information, sadly. If it had not been the next to last episode I probably would not have written anything (just like the beach episode).

I'm glad I was right about the fire, though it was pretty easy to guess considering the huge amount of foreshadowing in the first episode. Still, it would not have been guessable from watching episode 1 only once.

Considering that Akazawa received close to no background this episode, I have no choice but to discount her. There is just no evidence except the hand feeling bullshit, and that's not a piece of evidence, it's either foreshadowing or trolling.

Now let's discuss other things. The crazy bitch claimed that she was with the other Misaki in elementary school and she didn't have an eyepatch, but that the new Misaki has an eye patch, and so it cannot be the same, thus she's dead. Clearly the official answer that we are supposed to come up ourselves is that they're the two sisters and she's just confusing them both. This gives us an undeniable proof that Misaki's sister truly existed. It does not mean, however, that Misaki did not replace her anyway. As I said last week, the curse needs to change facts as well as memory.

There's another thing that annoy me, and it's that no one seem to be aware that Misaki's sister died. Of course, it's possible that the town is too large for that, but with everyone around you dying, you would probably try to investigate a bit about the deaths happening in town. This is not a piece of evidence towards anything, just a thought.

At the end of the episode, we see Misaki climbing up the stairs, as if she had business there. In the preview, we see her going down other stairs with Akazawa. It is clear that Akazawa will pursue her, but it still unknown what Misaki is trying to do up there. That is quite an annoying cliffhanger but I'm pretty sure where she is going is very minor. She might just be going up to go down from somewhere else because damn Akazawa is blocking the way. In any cases, I'm wasting my time on this paragraph.

In the end, both Misaki being dead or Misaki not being dead are still very valid theories, but since there is just so much more stuff on Misaki than there is on anyone else that is not the main character (which has been completely forgotten from the show, I actually very much enjoyed the calls with his father because I trust someone who is not in the city to be telling the truth). My guess for this week is still then on Misaki, and I'm prepared to be wrong. If I'm wrong, then too bad I guess. I at least very much enjoyed trying to figure that one out, and I appreciated this show.
