...just a few "fight" animations without any conclusion at all, a few flashbacks, WTH is that Yorito madness and obsession about Matsuri?... pif...

Yoriko is not mad, he was being brainwashed by Aono to forget Matsuri, that's why he also had all those strong nightmares. Mana noticed he was under some weird influence, and actually even noticed it was Aono's, that's why she took him to her home. I think by now she already realised Aono is also an Yaka. You can clearly see he starts to tone down the madness at episode 9, and in the last scene he is "normal" while looking at the sky.

It also seams to be some kind of lingering "brainwash" going as per Aono/Matsuri/Yorito past, that could also explain why Yorito got mad, his brain is probably toasted after so much xD~

If I were to WTH on the anime, I would ask WTH is Aono thinking? she is really obscessed with her brother ... even to the extend of attack her savior Matsuri. If they don't do something immediatly, I'll certainly come to hate her, and I don't think they will since if she admits her wrongdoings the anime would end by episode 10, so we will probably have smoe more of that next episodes. Gee she died, became a Yaka, period, let it go, even Matsuri can develop a relationship with a human without being that stupid ><;

Also, wow ever since Matsuri left Yorito's house she has been thru hell ... stabbed, attacked by Aono, attacked by Takeshi. I'm 99% sure the title is an alusion for Solitude, since she is clearly the "oldest" Yaka from them all, and everyone seams to want "a piece of her", except Mayuko.

I loved how the plot suddenly introduced all the dramas at the same time, connecting Aono, Matsuri and Mayuko almost at the same time. Also was nice to postpone the main drama and develop Mayuko's drama first, since otherwise it would be rushed and merged with the main plot in the end (which would make it certainly be under developed, so it was best to, instead of add fillers, to develop it properly as in episode 9). I admit I got some tears as we learn Mayuko's past. BTW during the whole Matsuri vs Takeshi fight I kept thinking "where is Mayuko, come on you slow lolita ><;" ... she took her sweet time to catch them huh? lol And that Takeshi is really an ass, it was quite obvious she would not want to become human by the expense of a sacrifice.

3 episodes to go, last episodes will probably be all about Aono vs Matsuri, and I don' expect further "fight" sequences, this was never a action title anyway, but I feel I will get to hate Aono by the end of this (they will probably make her "rendeem" herself later, but I don't forgive that easy >.>

OMG what was that, the events that take place in this episode was a complete surprise, tells the history behind their past, the truth about Yorito and Aono, and Matsuri and Yorito feelings... this episode was fuckin' awesome...

And Matsuri proposed to him to vanish together, and than she asks Takeshi to teach her to use his katana (which is the only thing, besides suicidal sunlight, that can kill her O_O) ...

what is she planning? I hope they don't meddle into the usual cliche like "if she gives her soul to him, he can become a human" (or a Yaka would be even better since he would me immortal) ... this cliche would be the worse ending ever, even if she don't suceed.

I'm betting on a more romantic happy ending where they all live happily ever after ... all that needs to happen is to Aono accept Matsuri, and than all 3 can live together forever.

BTW .. that explains what "great powers" that Aono used to make her become ill 3 monthes before the anime started ... it was Yorito creation O_O

What I was questioning was if someone really had any guilty into Yorito's death, we only need more flashbacks to explain that... I don't Matsuri would sacrifice her self since that's not a Key game based anime , I'm betting on a happy ending.
