pros of the episode
+The plot was advanced
+More information was learned about Aura
+BT was only in the episode for a split second
+Sora said BT was useless
+Silver Knight almost died (AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! DIE!!! *cough cough. ahem)
+Crim was there (swooooonn)

the cons of the episode
-Tsukasa is still idiotized
-Sora is in deeeeeep dog doo
-BT was in it
-BT was in it
-Herald was hard to hear because of the stupid echoe thingy
-Silver Knight was saved (If I were Krim, I would have just stood there and laughed hysterically)

Overall the episode was okay. I liked how Krim(is that spelled with a C or a K. I am having a brainfart) was being a buddy to Silver Knight, even if SK doesnt deserve it. Ummm...Sora is in trouble BIG time which makes me mad. [spoiler]Of course they had to pick on the little 4th grader in a sweater vest[/spoiler] Oh well. I liked that now we know a little more about Herald and Aura and why the heck Tsukasa was the unlucky person to be chosen to "give birth" to the eviltized Aura.

Whoa! All I have to say is Balmung is a total absolute Fine a** guy! He is now my favorite character! Wow, he is hott!!!

I give this episode a 10/10 also! It showed that a lot of the other chracters are getting filled in on all the details and I hope that Subaru can contact Tsukasa, since he did hear her call his name! Man I wonder what is going to happen to Sora!!! WOW!

Love, Kaola

[B] Rating: 9/10 [/B]

Wow! Very nice episode! I liked it alots! And I was right! Tsukasa ripped the stuffing out of the Bear!!! *watches Tsukasa eat the stuffing* O_o Creepy little booger ant he?
So, I finally get to see and Here Balmung... the great Legend.... *coughNewvoiceactorCough* Sorry, had something in my throat.
It looks like Bear,Mimiru, and Subaru are learning some new thingys! But Im confussed about Harold getting the crap beaten out of him, or w/e you want to call it, and it was odd when Maha freeked out and dropped his little twig...
"What are you playing tag with?" One of my new favorite quotes ^^ Ok, this is where the episode only got nine out of ten...... I thought it was very nice of Crim to give some of his words of Wisedom to Silver Knight. Crim likes to cheer people up ^_^ Anyways, the reason I took a point off was..... A CRACK ARTIST WAS DRAWING CRIM WHEN HE WAS ON THE BOAT WITH SILVER KNIGHT! IM SERIOUS!! I HAVE PICTURES!!! *hold up pics of Japanese artist on crack* Damn you! *thwacks Japanese guy on head*
*breaths* ok... now that I got that out of my system.....
Uh oh..... Sora hugged Maha and was taken to Aura.... *gasp* Who knows what he'll do now!!! He'll probably end up meating Morganna, and she'll probably use him just like Tsukasa. Your a fool Sora!!
Well, while Tsukasa continues to drool... I'll drool over the nicer pics of Crim and not the crack artist ones ^^

Wow,all that happened how Sora and the Silver Knight met with one of the undefeatable monsters and how the Silver Knight almost died trying to protect him self from it,finding out a little more about Aura and Harold.Also that Tsukasa was chosen to "give birth" to Aura,and I wonder what's going to happen to Sora now that he found Aura,and Balmung made a apearence!^^

Finally, they stopped making Tsukasa look like he was in the middle of an acid trip. That was just annoying to have to watch. Although, it was fun to see the bear's other eye pop off, then see Tsukask rip into it with his finger.

I am still stunned by the fact that Morganna was the creation of Harold. Worse yet, Morganna ruthlessly killed him (and scared poor Maha). At least we got to learn more about Aura and Morganna before that.

Sora was definately my favorite character this time around. Not only did he call BT worthless, but he left Silver Knight to deal with the invincible monster by himself. Then there was the PK'ing of innocent bystanders, but they should have left long ago. Too bad the monster disappeared when Crim arrived, I wanted to see Sliver Knight lose to it. I guess seeing him run away is good enough.


There was only one downside to this episode. Bear continually spoke of Helba, and she did open the Green Chaos Gate, but she never appeared in the episode. :bawl:

9.5/10

This was a pretty good episdoe...ever since that one dude of the Azure Sky...uh..*scrolls up*..oh yeah, Balmung, appeared, I now have a .hack//SIGN character I can drool over! *coughs* Uh yeah...
Let's see...when Tsukasa started picking out the stuffing of that one teddy bear, I muttered "That guy was right..." (K.K.C....hehehe) Then I began snapping my fingers at the screen to make Tsukasa get out of his blind state...that was probably the only boring part of the episode.
When SK met up with the unbeatable monster and then ran away, I kept laughing cause they were playing hillbilly music...
When Sora jumped onto Maha and was transported to that one place (I call it "beneath the pond") and Maha hissed at him, he reminded me of my buddy's little kitty...er...uh-huh...
Overall, I just can't wait till next week's episode...yay! That's my birthday! *dances* August 2nd-August 2nd-August 2nd...

Edit: Oh, K.K.C., when I said "guy" that (in my abnormal words dictionary) means :lecture: "a person". Yeah. :sweat:

Not only was that the best episode I've seen because of all the information they gave, but it seemed (to me anyway) that the animation was quite better then the previous episodes, for some reason. And it seems that Tsukasa isn't quite brain dead yet ;p. All in all though, that was one of the better ones I've seen all throughout the series.

And Sora in that realm where Maha and Aura is, can only spell trouble. *grins* Muwhahaha.

This episode was pretty good, far better than last week's. (Was my prediction correct? DID last week just help build up to a better episode?) Tsukasa's little braindead moaning was starting to drive me insane.. Good thing he's finally waking up.

The boat scene.. Ack... KKC was [i]so[/i] right.. It must be the same animator who did that scene where Bear almost got killed by the guardian.. Tsukasa looked really freaky in that scene.

A lot of major things happened in this episode.. Aura and Maha's names were actually said in the show without assumption of who they are, Harold was seen and he didn't say all that "I love you" junk.. Tsukasa is sort of coming out of his brain-dead-ed-ness state... And Balmung of the Azure Sky appeared!! ..How did he defeat the undefeatable monster, anyhoo? Oh, and Sora followed Maha.. [spoiler]Does this lead up to Sora's being data-drained later on?[/spoiler] And BT got dissed by Sora.. hehe! *hi-fives Sora*
This episode was quite good, but I still believe they're just building up to a bigger and better episode.

yeah, but he didnt repeat it over and over. He actually said something else.
I just watched the episode again (I taped it) and I noticed something that I didnt before. When Crim is talking to Silver Knight on the boat (when the crack animator was drawing) You see a tear go down Silver Knights face T_T I feel sorry for him now. Crim is so nice he made Silver Knight Cry *sobs* Dang, now im crying...

TriGunMaSta68, things like that are not even close to funny. This is a public forum which people from every age group can visit. Saying anything like that will give people the wrong impression of the board, and makes the admins/mods look bad if even one person thinks that they allow this to be said.

If you wish to speak like that do it around your own family and friends. Not here. I may not have the cleanest mouth and mind either, but even I know when to keep quite.

-_-' dat was very disturbing.... *puts on a shirt that say "Disturbed"* anyways, after watching the episode again, I understand it better, but im not completly sure about the black Aura thing? Is that Morganna? Or what? Im so confussed.

*watches Scene on boat* T_T That touches my soft spot for some reason... *sniffles*

Hm.. K.K.C..? Warped Aura = Morganna? OOOH, that's an interesting idea and plot twist.. Maybe Morganna (A bodiless voice) would use Aura's body as a puppet, or a suit, for herself so she can cause more destruction in The World. But [i]why[/i] does Morganna want The World destroyed..?

Beacuse shes the evil thing in the story/show. All of the evil things want to destroy something. Duh! No brainer Sennen ^_^ j/k Maybe she wants to desroy "the world" so her,. Maha, and Aura can live in peace ^^

Well then-- If Morganna wants to destroy The World so "The three of us- You, I and this child, can live in peace and be bothered by no one"... How will that happen? Maha is part of the game, A.I. I suppose..

But then there's the other side of the coin.. Then we have that quote I put up in the previous paragraph.. So Morganna wants to destroy The World so that she can live in peace with her allies, but then that might destroy her allies, if not herself as well, in the process.. @_@ .hack makes my brain hurt..

Ooohhhh...I totally forgot to mention how much of a hunkie pie Balmung is. I kind of like Balmung in the show better than in the video game. Anyways, I liked how Crim was being such a sweetie, even if he was being nice to Silver Knight.
