Is this going for an anime original ending? If so, then a Chiwa End is the only ending that makes sense. Granted, an open ending is probably the most likely, but it wouldn't make much sense after having the "fake" called out on by the aunt.

Don't know why you think he's alive. Well okay, I do know, but don't know why you'd assume that's the case first. It could be Saki's mind playing tricks on her like it has before. Or it could be some sentient Cantus leakage. After all, Cantus leaks out subconsciously, and Saki's memories have been buried in her subconscious. It could also be the reason Saki's memory has been restored (though I just call BS).

People just dropping bombshells whenever it suits them. Someone calling Kodaka cool or saying that he has a sense of humor is even more funny than someone who thinks Sena is perfect. I was almost willing to say "poor Yozora" since she really has been outclassed in every way by Sena, and she lost the "childhood friend" title. But then we find out Yozora plagiarized the script for the movie, which was pretty much the only decent thing she has done. What a miserable human being.

Best part of this episode was Pegasus leaping into the air (The Girl who Leapt Through Time style) with those wing-shaped clouds right behind him.

"According to his mother, he was already overwhelming his elders at the tender age of four!"
Well that's information I certainly didn't need to know.

Also, I think I might have been just as mindfucked as Kyolo upon finding out Tama is a shrine maiden.

I didn't notice it, but I'll just go ahead and assume it was Adachiko.

Anyway, as expected of Moritani! She blows things out of proportion once again! I do wonder what mom's "companion" was thinking about that creeped out Kotoura.

So apparently, Saki's mom had this little Archive here. And it only needs 6 hours of sunlight to power up. And it can also map areas and knows exactly where the Psychobuster is. Convenient.

A submarine? Convenient.

Kiroumaru has been to Tokyo before and knows a lot of what is in the area. Convenient, but useless since the group has the Archive.

The Psychobuster is a psychic-targeting biological weapon (Anthrax, really?) that sounds extremely perfect in every respect. And it was made by the Americans... and is somehow in Tokyo. Convenient.

Squealer and the fiend follow Saki instead of finishing up the remaining humans? What?

Also, "We gotta hurry to the Psychobuster- EW EW BUGS AND SLUGS GROSS! I'M NOT GOING OVER THERE!"

The author sure is terrible at making the audience feel sympathy for Yozora. It's kind of funny. Sena only really stands up to Yozora when she ruins something she said was great. She let the childhood friend thing slide until Yozora started being tactless with it.

Kasumi started biting Kyolo's arm. Kyolo's totally mind-fucked now; he had like a dozen "WTF" faces in this episode. Especially after the swimsuit-to-yukata transition. Hang in there, Kyolo!

Apparently, Kasumi is a genius. High school math? No problem! Mori is quite the temptress. She'll twirl on any occasion. Fall to the power of Kyolo's brushing skills!

Apparently, if tsunderes don't win, they just nuke everything. Also, poor Kaoru, he is really getting exasperated.

The Sea of Deredere is just too vast. Eita, it looks like your brilliant plan of stalling the marriage thing for 10 years backfired. Just an "Objection!" and running away won't get you out of this one. Good reflexes on preventing your eyes from being poked out though.

Man... things are just dumb now. The whole "Maria never should of been born" was just a crappy red herring. Now, Squealer is thinking about building a psychic army. BECAUSE IT JUST INVOLVES CONTROLLING A BUNCH OF MENTALLY UNSTABLE KIDS WITH PSYCHIC ABILITIES, WHAT CAN GO WRONG!? Even more fun is how easily Shisei was killed. Not only did he not think to just fly everyone away since the fiend obviously can't fly, but he gets killed by Cantus leakage. And how does a fiend control Cantus leakage anyway? And why does this fiend follow orders when the others we have been shown were, at best, complete sociopaths?

Oh yeah, I remembered something. You know the part where they're talking about Cantus leakage? It had a flashback in it. And it showed Shun's face! And Saki didn't remember his face last episode. Terrific quality control there.

Kidnapped... literally. Also, mandatory "The cake is a lie". Tamaki is kind of a troll though.

"She gets up early and works hard for those cakes."
"What's that? I have no idea what you're saying!"

Not to mention:
"This creature wasn't born as the president?"

The power of 2nd level Kyolo is too great a transformation for him to maintain for long. He also demonstrates again that he's a pretty normal guy seeing how he thinks a massage from being stepped on is weird more than anything. On that same note, Shion's mind is in hentai-land. She totally wasn't thinking about S&M or footjobs. Nuh uh. No sir.

Kyolo gets stomped by Megumi, further evidence that the club exists to destroy Kyolo. And we get evil chuckles. And sex sparkles.

I'd be totally fine if Yozora's outfit was just passed around to everybody. It's pretty hot. Good job on the anime's part for making it seem like a pretty normal outfit before the cleavage shot and upshot. Rika tied to that pole was also quite hot.

It was nice seeing Kobato thank people for the presents in her own shy way.

That's quite a tsundere. She puts up the tsuntsun wall pretty hard and does pretty much everything she can to make sure it doesn't break, but she also runs around in excitement while in deredere mode.

Araragi's sexual toothbrushing skills cannot compare with Kyolo's hair-brushing skills. Kasumi is a brocon and the flag with Jill is raised. We still have to see him win over Seira (go, go hair-brushing!). Mori is a really good maid though, doing things that will please people without even being asked to.

I liked how Kodaka tried to stay in the room with Sena changing. Peeking on Sena never gets old.

Also, I never thought I'd hear "Moe moe kyun~!" ever again...

Because the logic involved becomes circular. Is Makishima's CC low because Sibyl knows he thinks outside the norm? Or is the CC they give him merely coincidental? We can't have an answer to those questions because Touma's influence on Sibyl dates back before we are shown Makishima's CC. Never-mind that we don't know how Sibyl defines "normal".
