Hello,
Today we'll talk about the 9th episode of the spring season 2012 anime series Tasogare Otome X Amnesia that seems to be diverging from the manga it is adapted from.
It was nice to know that shadow Yuuko isn't some kind of mindless monster haunting the school, but simply another ghost beautiful and frail just like Yuuko.
This increase my "hate" for the original Yuuko that seems to be "throwing away" her bad emotions to shadow Yuuko making her suffer more and more for so many years.
I have a big question at the moment, what will happen if Yuuko eventually recover her memories from Shadow Yuuko and merge back into a single "being"?
Will she go crazy trying to cope with all the negative emotions she tried to lock? Or will she simply "rest in peace" leaving the protagonist alone for the rest of his life?
My only hope is that they won't try to "solve" everything by making Yuuko forget everything again in order for her to have "an happy end" living with the protagonist...
This scene left me a bit confused about what happened in Yuuko's past. It looks like something more than simply "being used as a sacrifice to quell some random god" and I really wonder what are they going to do in order to explain the final part of the story.
The manga is still running and as far as I remember we have no complete information at the moment about the real past of Yuuko before she was killed in that accursed school...
Will the director decide to create everything from scratch diverging completely from the original work (extremely likely) or will the manga end together with the anime in a matter of weeks (unlikely).
Judging from the small scene at the end, next episode will be entirely focused on discovering the truth behind Yuuko's past and possibly creating the conditions for her to rest in peace.
It'll be nice to see one episode entirely from the prospective of Yuuko when she was still alive and I'm sure that with our protagonist narration we'll get some nice comedy scene as well.
I just hope they won't use a detailed scene when showing her death, it would be too painful for me to watch...
Concluding, Tasogare Otome X Amnesia is finally picking up the pace and I'm rather excited about knowing the truth behind Yuuko's murder.
See you soon,
