Saved by Medusa!?! Well, that was something. The fight between Kagari and that other witch is okay I guess.

Poor Takamiya though. I think he's having a battle internally within his dream. Ouch. Quite the wreckage they created from that fight. That looked like a cliffhanger at the end but I smell trouble.

It was good to see Kasumi was saved by Medusa.

Poor Takamiya. Kagari vs other witches were alright.

The fight with Kagari and Weekend was alright. So she got some of Takamiya's power by switching shirts. One more episode to go.

Mikage-sensei enlightens Takamiya in his subconscious about what's going on.

Kasumi fights her doppelgänger. Saves Kazari and is saved by Medusa!
She takes her underlings away in hiding. XD

Chronoire is taking down the tower witches? Awesome, I guess.. :)

Weekend vs. Kagari begins. What an awesome battle!
Elsewhere, Mikage and Takamiya are under attack.

What did Kagari do to Takamiya? XD
Damn.. Weekend goes for round 2..

Takamiya wakes up. Atori gets a phone call from Mikage. They are on their way to Kagari.
Weekend reveals the secret behind her victory.. What a coward!

Takamiya reaches Kagari. Her fiery form is the best!
Weekend is about to blow everything up.. :O

Man I do enjoy that soundtrack when its being all dramatic. I do like Weekend's character, she planed for over a year for this, studied her targets, and took out obstacles one at a time. Her faults of course are her underestimating Kagari a bit, as well as the fact that even the best laid plans can fall apart from sheer luck or happenstance. (Though really I've been a fan of the mad-bomber characters ever since I read Mirai Nikki, but that's besides the point). We should be well and clear to end the anime at the end of the arc nicely.

Did anyone think the bear fight was as hilarious as I thought it was? I could not contain my laughter. And god damn that animation was top notch. Medusa needs more screen time mainly because she's voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro.

I can't believe this is the last episode :( Second favorite show of the season, this better get a second season.

Hideaki Anno left a horrible legacy behind in Shinji and that trope of weakling MC with immense power is so tired its breathing is ragged.

Honoka has spent this entire show in Kagari's arms or unconscious.

Too much meh going on despite all the explosions and predictable fights (Kagari wins).

This episode was a bit to action packed for me but it wasn't bad.
Now i know what Takiyama is so passive judging at his mother's behaviour another one that doesn't do anything about her situation.
Kazane helped her out tho but that doesn't change the situation.

Loving this arc a lot so far. Nicely done.

The random dream part was nice. Good flashbacks there.
Poor Honoka's mom being bullied like that :(
How Ayaka asked her mom to become the most prominent figure in his school so she can be in the same class as him XD Now that's desperate hehehe.

I wanted to hear more about what Mikage had to say about Honoka's past but I guess not yet >.<

Lol'd at the Kuma fight XD And Medusa in human form looks HOT!

Ayaka's power up technique was lol changing shirts with Honoka XD No wonder her boobs looked really tight XD

And Honoka about to be getting a treatment with his ass as the victim but got saved at the last instant XD

Weekend vs Ayaka was great. Nice plans from both sides and great save from Honoka. Loved the heel kick Ayaka gave Weekend at the end after regaining her powers. Kick ass :D

But damn! Bombs are triggered.

Can't wait for nxt ^^

I want to see medusa's eyes but this will do and according to her the 5 stooges could beat the doppelganger easily, guess they're just lazy.

That bear fight should have been longer, kazumi's fight's are always good.
Atori's puppet is alive and that leek, takamiya almost lost his virginity ;D
Kagari being Kagari.
Chronoir and the alligator torturing the tower witches but they're no where near as good as kazane is.

What did Kagari do that required to take off her's and Takamiya's clothes off? >_>

Well, it couldn't be something drastic, or she would have gone SSJ or something. XD

On another note, Chronoire has too much fun torturing witches. She probably already forgot what she was after in the first place. XD

Oh wow, haha, I thought they had sex, but she borrowed her shirt. That made me cracked up xD

I really wanna know what's Kagari link with Takamiya.

Takamiya really is the son of his mom, her getting bullied too x)

Weekend is so clever, having the control on the town so easily and strategically placing bombs in the city. Reminded me of the last batman movie :P

It had such a surreal feeling, Kagari flying on her broom over an apocalyptic city :3

Now, shit will get serious, but one episode left is not enough!!! D:

Ah, no. This is one of the better concepts the writer has come up with. The Tower witches are pretty much in it for themselves, they are not an organization by any stretch, so Chronoire has no interest in watching Weekend walk off with the prize, she would rather have the Workshop Witches win (and Takamiya survive) than Weekend getting what she wants; Medusa is the same way. Both realized that Weekend played them, and neither are interested in being objects.

Before I had thought that Kagari was the Fire Princess, but now I am not sure sure. Kagari had her memory wiped and she can draw on the White Princess' power, so there is an excellent chance of some sort of relationship. This though will not be resolved for quite a while I think.

That would be a tribute to "Don Frye vs Takayama" the legendary battle in a sense surely. It is interesting if you look it at Youtube or something.

The guys who did this anime could teach a thing or two to most studios about animating a fight. Those 2 giant teddy beards were beating the crap out of each other most convincingly.

As much hell as I've been giving this show for the last several weeks, I have to say that this episode was good. Not great, but good. Better than the last several episodes.

It contained a lot of the things that made the beginning of the series so good, and didn't rush and wasn't packed full of random BS. It kept a steady, normal pace.

The bear fight was good, but too short. The Kagari vs Weekend battle could have been better, it seemed to Aizen-ish. No matter what Kagari did Weekend took it, talked a little about her planning skills, and blew something up. I find these kinds of fights too bore-ish. Especially when you know that even when Kagari goes White Princess/God-Mode she's still gonna lose somehow. It just doesn't make sense for a character who's obviously and admittedly weaker, and uses simple non-magical tricks, to win against the White Princess.

The flashbacks still leave a lot to be desired, they never show anything important, just more and more irrelevant hints at what's to come. So, the flashbacks weren't really needed here. That time could have been spent on one of the two fights, preferably I'd of had it used to improve the quality of the Weekend fight.

All in all, however, as I said already, this was the best episode in several weeks. So, I'll give this one a 7/10.

I'm still not convinced everything can be wrapped up in the last episode without rushing and packing too much into it, but we'll see what happens.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Sooo many questions still left unanswered. They hinted at alot of things tho.

How does Kagari have the White Princesses blood in her?

What distant memories do Kagari and Takamiya have, and why were they erased?!?!

What is Chronoire really doing in the town?

5/5

Some pieces of the puzzle fall into place, but I was not satisfied because there is still too much to tell, I hope you do not hurry history.
Narrative in which only the blows resound, not bad but a little bit of comedy in it did not hurt more.
I would also like more participation from aprte other character, really! ^ _ ^
Drawings and animations very good when compared with those seen previously by JC Staff.

It really annoys me when they cut it like that >.>

What did Kagiri do to Takamiya!?

I know the answer might as well be the "that", the most common one most people would think of but since they made it into one of those scenes I call "we leave it to your imgination", it makes me more curious what really was it and for what reason she did it.
