Wow! A LOT happened in episode 19!
And... we still have NO IDEA what's going on! lolz!
Nicely done!
(click to show/hide)Why didn't they just knock the frothing woman out and carry her to the boat? Bad writing! Unless that other woman re-appears later in the story, that would make it OK. (click to show/hide)

(click to show/hide)Their philosophy is not about knocking people, even if it's for their own good. If i remember, from the beginning they've never used any form of physical strenght and using their cantus against each others is of course highly forbidden.

(click to show/hide)Instead they have sex. Man, I can't imagine what my adolescence would have been like, if people reacted to stress by having sex. Shun died.
Showdown:
(click to show/hide)I don't exactly understand how their "power" is working.
Are they all able to fly, transform matter and move objects the same way ? I thought some of them could only do one of those thing: Satoru is good at throwing rocks and shaping mirrors ;D, Maria can/could fly pretty good, and in the last episode (20) i just noticed Saki is also able to rise in the air, and pretty high.
I'm asking because i remember Satoru was teasing Maria in the first episodes, about how bad she was at mastering a specific aspect of her cantus, but maybe it was only because they were just children back then.
Now that they're adults they all have access to the full library of skills ? :)
5Cats:
@Showdown: I'd forgotten about their "non-violence" thing, I suppose it spills over into smacking each other in the head. - Excellent observation!
I don't think it's a spoiler after 19 episodes... (I hope!)
As for "magical ability" it's like the Decathalon: ALL 10 events. If you're the best overall you're the strongest magic-user. But you can be good at some (shotput and javalin) and still suck at others (high jump, marathon). Oh sure, you can still run the marathon... in 5 hours!
So as a child you try to imporve your weaker subjects, but as an adult you seem to be expected to do a little bit of everything (while your career focuses around your strongest magic abilities).
In theory.
