Yet another episode of Zetsuen no Tempest that I wasn’t expecting. After nineteen episode, there is one thing that is clear: Zetsuen no Tempest will keep us guessing until the end.  No doubt about it, this has been one of the most unpredictable series last season and this.  Whether it’s the change of tone or … Continue reading »The post Zetsuen no Tempest ~The Civilization Blaster~ – 19 appeared first on Anime Aura.

Well I can join the majority of the cast that was surprised by how this episode turned out. Since we first found out that Yoshino was dating Aika the reveal seemed like a tense thing. What was Mahiro going to do when he found out? While obviously the killer of Aika was something far more [...]

Finally we know what this “Civilization Blaster” subtitle is about. Apparently the Trees of Genesis and the Trees of Exodus are tools built by aliens to keep the Earthlings in check. Maybe. Well, ok, sure, cool. Whatever, let’s get back … Continue reading →

The past autumn season had a lot of really good series. But at this point, I think that my favorite series of the bunch, is Zetsuen no Tempest. It nearly edges out Jojo and From the New World, but in the end it was this show’s twisted logic that hit me on an emotional level [...]

So she decided to start fighting against the Tree of Genesis by training Hanemura…kind of an awkward way to go about it, but okay. I don’t see why she can’t just help him directly…is it suggesting that the Tree is supposed to read actions, but not necessarily intentions? Yoshino also has a rare moment of [...]

Episode 17 discussion can be viewed hereAs expected, Hakaze wants to destroy Genesis for the hand it played in Aika's death. Though none of this is really verified as Hakaze is jumping to conclusions. [...]

Episode 18 - Zetsuen no Tempest, which is now well past it’s halfway point, has been quite the oddball of a series. It has had a strange fascination with revenge, death, and happy endings, presented in a very dramatic style complete with quotes from Shakespearean works. It has had a main conflict where the main [...]

This episode, Mahiro’s fingers do their best ‘Genesis’ impression Yeah, the animation quality kind of took a dive this episode. The parts that mattered looked pretty good though, so I’ll give that to BONES. Despite the uh, QUALITY, the plot finally picked up and Yoshino’s character got really interesting really quickly. Plus there was some [...]

Hakaze panics, believing this confirms she’s responsible for Aika’s death–but Yoshino says that’s not for certain. Hakaze is surprised Yoshino hasn’t shown any of the rage that Mahiro has exhibited, but Yoshino feels there’s nothing to gain from [...]

Quite the interesting scene at the start of the episode, when Hakaze realizes she may already have caused Aika to die. Hakaze is angry at Yoshino for not being angry. Specifically, for not being angry at her. But Yoshino isn’t … Continue reading →

I think this is the episode we’ve needed for a while. Really having Yoshino confront his reactions and feelings towards Aika’s death. Of course also important to throw the truth into the face of Mahiro who has needed to hear this for a while. Though I will repeat from last week that Hanemura stepped on [...]

Zetsuen no Tempest really does take “All is fair in love and war” to next level. After last week’s episode, moving onto the aftermath just heightens the tension and deepens the mystery.  We’re continuing on the path to conclusion, and each action from now on bears its own consequences.  It really is a pivotal point … Continue reading »The post Zetsuen no Tempest ~The Civilization Blaster~ – 18 appeared first on Anime Aura.
