They fucked up the epic entrance to the new world, and now there are randomly marines on the other side.

What a weird ass time to try and do a filler arc, assuming that's what they're doing.

What? The entrance to the new world was pretty much exactly like that in the manga. Not sure how they "fucked up" that part when they followed it practically panel by panel. The only thing different is the marine fleet on the other side, which obviously is due to an upcoming filler arc, like you said. I dunno why you think its a weird time to do a filler arc, though. In between two arcs (Fishman Island and Punk Hazard) seems like the logical place to put them.

Naw there were minor differences. I could go into it, but the overall point is it just didn't feel the same. In the manga you got the epic feeling something big was starting (gates of hell, sea of flames, etc), and in the anime its just kinda "oh look, the marines".

I would have preferred if they had just done some fillers on fishman island, or before they reached the surface. This should be a pretty monumental moment for them, but it feels kind of ruined.

1: All limbs removed by the surgery, you find the guy killed by his father. The father is alive. Toko survives.

2: All limbs removed by the surgery, Toko is turned into Kara no Shoujo. Alive when you find her but then dies. Dead father (by pills I think), and the guy also took his own life.

3: All limbs removed by the surgery, the guy runs around with her first like that and then only her head, in a shell. Ends with him walking into a lake and taking his own life. Got a metric ton of information from this ending.

I had been slacking with it for quite a long time, but yesterday I got my shit together and started reading, for real. And, well, I've barely left my computer since, as I really wanted to solve everything, find the bastard(s) behind it all, and of course wanting to make sure the characters I liked survived. I believe (or maybe I dreamt it) Toko said at one point, "you can't save everyone". And I couldn't. That hurt quite a bit, at least when it comes to Toko (and no not the psycho Toko, aaah, that bad end with that psycho bitch...) and Tsuzuriko/Tojiko. Sure, in the first ending I ran into, Toko survived, but... with all limbs removed. At that point, I hoped there would be a better ending. Hah. That didn't happen.

True end was sad, but beautiful. As said, I was a bit foolish, hoping that there could possibly be a "happy" ending, but as soon as the accident happened again, I knew that wasn't going to happen. I'll admit, though, that I got very happy over the fact that Takashiro's wife (and her child) survived. It made for a nice ending scene, too.

Oh, and the moments when you discovered the different Kara no Shoujos.... the first time you run into the painting and how it looks exactly like Toko, the first four that Shinji made out of real people, the fresco, and of course... the original. Man... those moments. They were disturbing, and yet, I couldn't help but thinking that they (the KnS:es) were beautiful. Especially when you discovered the four together. Maybe I'm as mad as Shinji.

And Toko's painting... the moment you uncovered it, was so sad to me.

I liked the soundtrack quite a bit. In general the songs weren't that amazing, but the song from the menu and the two ending/credit songs were great.

Also what is this massive love comedy plot advancement. It's like a massive advancement has happened in a few chapters all of a sudeen when we were so used to filler arcs. =O

After 2 basically pointless episodes, we finally get some action. And not very little, either. Typically for MLA, humans fight each other instead of the BETA. Yay...

Stupid question maybe, but any idea of where in time/the course of events we are compared to MLA? If we're past the coup d'etat I would've expected to at least hear about it... same for Sadogashima, etc. Though I guess Sadogashima was quite late after all.
