It always feels like I've missed a couple of episodes..

Kagetane returning was fucking amazing.. He's just not that respectable anymore seeing how he lost his fight against Satomi so easily.

Glad Kagatane is back. He's one of the most interesting characters in this show.

The episode itself wasn't all that great, but Kagetane's return and the great soundtrack really made it somewhat good.

Seriously wtf... So because they took out the gastreas in the forest, which noone saw except his team, and still Rentarou has to be punished and leave his Adjutant. Might be a good choice afterall to "team-up" with Kagatane because those higher ups are messed up!

Kagetane is love, Kagetane is life.

On a serious note, I wonder if he's related to Rentaro in any way.

I think she is just a little crazy but I dont think she will kill Enju if they team up ^^ In her own weird way I think she was worried that Enju was dead o.o I could be wrong though.

I wish Fuse had more screen time in this episode, since she is my favourite Cursed Child.
Gadou is truly an old geezer.
I was definitely expecting Kisara to be the one that cut apart the Two-Headed Gastrea hound or what ever it was, not Kohina.
Kagetane...Not sure how I feel about him.

Yay, Kagetane is back with all his creepy laugh :D
I just like his sarcastic way to talk, like in this one : ''What is behind that mask... Is your face.''. I have the feeling they'll fight along side against giant gastrea laser shooter. I'm sure that Rentarou agree with him on his ideal, but not on his method. After all, Kagetame want the super loli to rule the world, but to do that, super loli must stop being persecuted.

That old samourai guy is such a pussy, blackmailling him even if he knows he did it for a good reason.
Poor dude who got crazy, still holding his loli arm... :(

exactly man, i really dont get him, why is it so hard to ask everyone for help, he is their leader anyway, if he rather be this way he should just die being killed by that samurai guy at the first place. Even Hiruko is a better character than he is.. geez

Where to start.. The battle would've been short because of time constraint and the anime wrapping up, it's what all animes do - they need to compress all the juicy stuff in the last few episodes. Didn't really matter, the guy's son holding his initiators arm? That was kinda sad. :( "Said we'd always be together"

Rentarou is as cliche a protagonist can get - and what I don't get is he's strong isn't he? Like really strong, he beat kagemask man but he loses to a bunch of dogs which soon met their demise to the very same kagetane WHOM HE DEFEATED? given enju wasn't there but still...

Kagetane's character is 9/10, I think he'll be either his father or maybe someone who used to be like Rentarou, that is, he used to fight for "justice" but lost his way after seeing how bad the world is.

Even after losing a great number (too soon?), Rentarou's harem still continues to grow haha. Kagetane is the best thing about this show. Wish he didn't get cut out for most of the series and they focused more on their differing views of the world.

Now that I think about it, none of Gadô's decisions made sense : why would you send the guy alone to kill an enemy whose strength is estimated equal to that of Aldébaran when he has a whole adjuvant made of badass with him and threaten to kill them all if he refuses to cooperate when the last thing you need is losing any more soldiers?

That's beyond stupid.

Plus the whole disobeying orders bsnss just comes off as a cheap trick to make us feel angry that the protag lives in such an unfair world.

Bleh, at least Kagetane is back.

Yeah, wondering about this as well. Only reasons I can think of is that the injections he took last he time he fought with Kagetane or that the antibiotics Kagetane gave him helped.

Kagetane is so damn badass!

This episode was a long time coming. The fight on the sidelines, the Adjuvant rushing off to save the civil officers from being flanked, and then being called out for insubordination. You really gotta hate that bald dude. The guy is a manipulative freak.

Rentaro having to deal with the Mercury spewing Gastrea will be fun to watch, especially now with Kagetane here to back him up. The way he sliced up that two headed dog was so damn badass! Totally lovin' it!

Then that preview... shudder..... I have a bad feeling about Midori from that last scene. It seemed something of a flashback image instead of something current. I get the feeling that a death flag has been raised...

I don't know why but I'm really not enjoy this anime to the extent that I thought I was going to. I don't know why, but I just don't feel that it is enjoyable. I read the manga and was way much more interested in it instead of the anime adaptation.
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.
