Gakuen Alice 15

See Garten for a detailed summary of what happened this time ;)

Same as Garten, I have to think that Persona's threat against Natsume, of losing people who are important to him, was only effective since Natsume's sister is alive somewhere. Though others like Luka-pyon would certainly be possible... It also seems like Natsume is able to kinda get along with, and even stand up to protect Mikan, because she somehow reminds him of his sister in some way. Though all of that still isn't too clear after reading through 6 volumes of the manga. Same with Mikan's connection to "that girl" from 10 years ago...

I do have some worries about whether or not the writers will be able get everything important into the last 11 episodes... However, if there were a second season, stretching it out to 52 episodes, it might be too much considering the pace we're going at now -- they'd have to insert filler somewhere or really slow things down... Another worry is that since the manga is still ongoing there's the possibility of an open "ending". Or perhaps the anime will catch up and pass the manga, and will go to its own conclusion, resolving everything. We'll see.. Anyways, I'll be optimistic that they can get what needs to be done, done in what's left for now ;)

And okay, sure, maybe I do like Sumire a bit more because of the Neko Mimi. You can blame all of that on Hazuki (from Tsukuyomi) ;)
