Well now that 13 is released, that SHOULD mean that the Japanese episodes are finally caught up and should continue weekly now.
It was a very good "building" episode, setting everything up for the brawl next episode hopefully
And a brawl it should be, though Furuichi's Xam'd looks disappointing in appearance from the preview.

Here it is, episode 14.
Bounen no Xamdou 14
Don't be fooled. Tag says it is raw, but it has subs.
Peace.
Indeed, it even says English Subtitles in Kanji. Wonder how they'd stuff that up...Originally Posted by shinta|hikari

I have mixed feelings for that ep, because of Furuichi... his Xam'd transformation is the worst idea ever! it was totally dumb and useless.
Also his suicide, although quite "realistic" in its suddenty, wasn't very fitting for the show.
But it could also be it was a fake, after all a head has quite a lot of matter, so it should have splat quite a bit around him. It didn't, so maybe it was absorbed by his arm... to mimick his death and do something later.
That's true unless he just choped it and throw it away, which was hard to see.
Also, the image shot was clear, and the neck cut was quite green, meaning only his shape ressembles the human he his, reinforcing the idea he's not dead.
Well if he is, who cares? at least we won't get to see another silly transform
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I didn't find it silly at all. Xamd has always had such strange cartoon-ish transformations with it bright colours. I personally hope Furuichi succeeded in killing himself because I liked how it was done.
Peace.
I'm also glad Furuichi killed himself, I was pretty disappointed he survived to begin with when his Xam'd was dispelled and Haru was crying over him.

I agree, I was also disappointed to see Furuichi survive. But then the way he killed himself, I thought was well done as well.. When he orders the drinks it shows us that he's completely lost it. Though at first I did think maybe he realized his mistakes, or maybe Haru and Akiyuki were going to meet him there. I'm sure he knew that the army will be running tests on him or kill him sooner or later anyways since he is now a Xam'd. And seeing as how he has such a depressing personality, he probably figured suicide would be the best path to take instead of dealing through the hardships ahead.

I think this was probably one of the weakest episodes in the series. Practically nothing happened.
Peace.

Anyone get the feeling that floating balloon is up to something? It just seems strange for it to suddenly appear out of nowhere and start helping Akiyuki.
This show is bumbling between the lines of being genius or boring. I love the setting and characters, but the bits on how this universe works: the history, the creatures, and this war are never fully explained. I keep wondering if I should even bother paying attention to those details. I might be better off focusing on the character interactions.

BONES likes butterflies, huh?
I'm loving the show so far. LOOOOOVE IT! lol.
That floating balloon.... It looks like it could be a Xam'd who has fallen into the "darkness" or whatever.
Haru looked good in ep 19.
She has a devastating axe kick, that's for sure.
Those dumbasses seriously need to stop riding that piece of shit all in the sky though. It almost cost Haru big time.
