Good momentum this episode. Seeing how they are going all out, I'm expecting a big climax after all the built-up at this point. I lol'd @ the OP song being around half way mark though.

Amara is pretty scary when he's serious heh.

Hopefully, this ends in a big climax without any big cliffhanger. I think it's possible even with all the Planetary Gears going all out now.

Those who are in his dream came to attack! Ex-boxer expressing his feeling about power is more important than feeling from his experience but lost by Teppei. OP after first half.

Then rest of the enemy team together. With "princess" 's power, that guy is cured. Eye-looking machine used one of them to explode one of the robot! Not only that, it is strong for Daichi's attack is useless.

One ep. left. and 26:10.

It seems kind of OP that the Planetary Gears can be brought back even after their Ego Block is destroyed as long as their Avatars are still alive. But I'm glad for it because Baku was one of the best and I didn't want him to be the first to go. Lin I didn't care for as much so that's fine. Plus she "died" protecting Setsuna which is easily the most important thing in the series right now. Protect Setsuna because she is great.

So Puck was able to generate his own Ego Block? Now that the cocoon is destroyed, he's going to impose his will on the entire universe. Next week should be intense for sure!

Well, I liked the episode for the most part. However I REALLY didn't like how immensely cheesy their conversation was before going to Auberon. It felt like I was watching power rangers... which is usually how it feels with their conversations but whatever, it was immensely cheesy this time around.

Bugbear... Ugh you beautiful badass bastard... Your fight with Daichi was amazing, I kept going "FUCK YEAH" whenever you threw a punch. Bullshit that you were defeated by friendship-powered teleportation blast. At least you came back to life later... With bullshit revival magic but whatever.

I find it funny how the Planetary Gears just sort of come out of no where going, "Wanna join us?" there was no real build up to it, felt very cliche. lol

AND PUCK IS THE TRUE BAD GUY ALL ALONG... Didn't like how he just 1 shot Liban... Was her entire point in the series to save Siren? If so then that makes her a plot device... Hopefully she comes back somehow... Even if I don't like bullshit revives.

Overall though, the action was spot on whenever it was there. Before Puck showed up the action was really fluid and really bombastic, I liked it a lot. The Bugbear fight as I said above was particularly exciting and fun... Even if I was rooting for Bugbear(His mecha's design btw is bloody fantastic).

Been waiting for the last 2 episodes of this series because it was built up way long ago that they would be heavily action packed. Don't like how they are hinting that they will defeat the enemy with friendship-power though... That's probably how it will go down.

Also, Puck's robo-laugh is hilariously over the top and cliche.

Nitpick: It wasn't long but I really don't like how noticeable they made Hana's breasts... It was kind of distracting.

One of the better episodes most certainly. The pacing justifies that.

Not to mention the battle between Bugbear and Daichi at Hyperion. Look at the scale between Bugbear's Goodfellow and Earth Engine! It was like a clash of ideals really. Even if Daichi's ideal is kind of backed up by the power of friendship.

I'm glad they also explained the reason why Teppei survived that BPM shot from Daichi, back at Tenkaido.

I've gotta hand it to Bones though, Oberon looks pretty aesthetic, both inside and out. The action was very enjoyable too.

I didn't expect Amarok to make that offer, since they pretty much outnumber them in shear firepower. Goes to show how much the Planetary Gears are afraid of the Livlasters. As expected of Daichi, he attacked without saying a word.

Didn't like the twist too much. It was somewhat logical for Puck to be the main villain, but it destroys the purpose of the Planetary Gears, literally. His desire for wanting to take control of the Universe is just for the sake of it. Making him a cookie-cutter main antagonist, but what did you expect?

He also appears to be OP as hell, obliterating Lieban and Zinbalt with zero effort. Almost got Siren as well.

Judging by the size of his Ego Block, I'm expecting a very large scale battle... and a pretty rushed finale.

Well the two planetary gears with the least development were consumed by Puck, which explains why we didn't get a lot of story on them. I think based on the backstory that we have a self-sacrifice by bugbear coming up since he is the one planetary gear who actually formed a strong attachment to another human. As for the rest of them, I sort of hope that Moco and Ameru survive to go back to operating their food truck and following the sunset. I have every confidence the Mid-Summer Knights will all pull through.

The shounen combat dialogue was strong in this one. The cheesy lines sometimes just distract you sometimes from an enjoyable brawl.

So Puck will be final boss? Not really a surprise with what we know from it. The only question is why it didn't act earlier. Well, in any case it seems that he will be defeated by the neverending power of friendship next episode. But like j0x says above, I get the feeling Hana might make it. She might have to migrate to another dimension or something like that in order to win.

so puck is the final boss, as most expected but not like this.


so the planetary gears were all used by puck under the disguise that he was being used by them.


sadly i feel that 1 more episode would have helped the series.

going by the preveiw way too much is gonna happen next episode to fit into 1 episode so i am preparing myself for a rushed finale


i do wonder how daichi is gonna defeat puck though, cannot see that happen in his earth engine unless it is a all penetrating livlaster powered mega laz0r

what was up with the op song in the middle of the episode? could have aswell used those 1:30 min for something else in the episode

Next time, I'll feel like cheering for Kiltgang when they joined Midsummer Knights.

And I wish they could have explained why Puck is like that, not just a one-dimensional bastard manipulator. They killed off 2 Kiltgang, I wish they gave them some developments at least.

Man, Bugbear was badass there! Thank God he was revived by Siren~ Last episode next week, at last.

I really liked this episode. it was kinda intense. first with the fight between bugbear and Daichi and later between them all. wasn't really surprised when Puck showed up. man he's got one hell of an egoblock now:0
that preview sounded a bit depressing though...
well I can't wait for next episode. I actually did enjoy this anime, kinda sad to see it ending next week.

Ok this episode outdid itself in many ways. First Bugbear beating outdid pretty much any battle before, then Siren's resurrection outdid that, then finally Puck outdoes EVEN that. Holy Shit!! Puck went completelly badass this time around.

Excellent episode for the beginning of the end.

I get the feeling Daichi is going to sacrafice himself. I think the pv and the dream talk with Bugbear foreshadowed that.

Will the Livlasters turn to the Planetary Gears now? It'd be nice if at least Setsuna and Bugbear could summon one, with the buildup they'd gotten in earlier episodes.

Hopefully they're able to fit every plot resolution into the last episode without it being too ridiculously rushed.

Pretty much expected this kind of climax. The 2 biggest opposing forces will end up teaming up at the end to face a greater threat, very common trait when it comes to the mecha genre. Nonetheless, still a good episode and looking forward to the ending. ^_^

Sharp changes in this episode, the great villain appears, seemed a bit forced to present it now, just missing now all fight together against the great villain
But the preview of the next episode seems that the Blume to be controlled by the Puck and will need to be destroyed, which will Daichi? Will attack Hana?
Only one more episode, I want to see how all this will end ..

I hope they reveal and explain a bit more about the livlasters, if they go with friendship defeating Puck, even after they've lost the boosted and the blume..

Unless Hana blows him out of the sky (space) on her own.

I wonder why the planetary gears waited until they arrived at the very core to make a last stand. They could have attacked together like 10 or more episodes ago, or at least know intercept the Blume before it enters the core. Why would you wait 'till the last moment? Given that they can restore the ego block, they could have attacked in full force over and over. Defending at the core did nothing for them.

The most logical explanation is obviously that otherwise, the final battle would be earlier..and that they never would make it. But thats bad storywritting.

I thought this was a great ep!

Even though it's weird as hell. A part of me was glad that Bugbear didn't die. He was a great fighter too. But then another part of me was annoyed that the egos could be replicated.

Puck is...I guess he was an alien A.I and found by Macbeth just like the children. Little did they know the evil/mischievousness behind them. Just like the myth.

So Puck is the final villain after all, does this mean we'll have to have a team up between the Midsummer Knights and the Planetary Gears to defeat what is essentially a massive cube? Although it seems kind bullshit the planetary Gears can come back so easily, I'm glad Bugbear is around again, he's the best one! A bit confusing how Puck has done all this so far but I'm looking forward to the finale

In this case, the episode has passed with flying colors, although missing a single episode is hard to have an ending that fully meets the expectations that have been created in this circumstance, there being too little time to close the circle.
Narration pleasant, eventually Puck puppeteer who maneuvered all the strings from behind the scene, showing his true intentions at all; although not original in concept, the unfolding of the shares is still interesting.
Drawings and animations as always excellent quality, I'm curious to find out how close the story, the authors.
