Hmm new OP song is alright.

So much for the cultural festival anymore..all hell just broke loose. Enemy pilot's mech has a strange design imo and it feels like Ouma really is struggling in his fight this time. Decent action overall this episode imo. That cliffhanger kinda scares me D:

Eh, the new ED song is okay but I liked the previous one better.

This was a very exciting episode with lot's of action.
And i liked the way the princess was fighting tho it seems her ally wasn't helping her much.
The camera brat really needs a good beating after what he didn't, he pretty much needed one the entire anime but now he really deserves it.

.... Camera guy didn't die... If only the UN soldier didn't save him... I think this guy is probably the only "thing" that's really bothering me in this show.

Other than that, this was one hell of an episode with lots of great action. That mysterious masked person that we saw in the previous OP appeared. I really loved the teamwork they put to defeat the enemies. Kennosuke is just barely hanging in there....

Great new OP and ED as well. I'm excited for next episode.

From this episode confirm the Onis are not being controlled, but brainwashed and implanted with a new memory/character.

Seriously that camera kid piss me off big time in this episode.

I think it was somewhat implied when Kenousuke fought the other one. He mentioned seeing him in the castle, but the guy had no idea what he was talking about.

And yeah, camera boy needs to die, or at least get mauled.... grievously so. He doesn't deserve all those soldiers and people putting their lives on the line just so he can get his view count up. I wouldn't mind volunteering to shoot him in the head myself at this point in time.

Pretty intense new episode. New OP is good but I liked the previous one better. In the other hand, I like the new ED better. So they brainwash people they pick up and give them new personalities. Pretty excited for next ep. Hopefully Ken doesn't die from blood loss lol

this episode was interesting. If nothing else, i'm surprised that the production of the GAUS hasn't been shifted into high gear given that it's the only weapon proven to be of any use against Elfidolg's geoframes.

some salient points:
1. lack of tactical preparation on the part of the UN seems, at this point, stupid. You have a society of slave-warriors looking to do harm to your planet and you aren't mass-producing the only weapon proven to be able to defeat them.....why?


2.why didn't the UN simply bombard the gravity lift with cruise missiles? It's already been proven that the geoframes have to partially deactivate their own gravity systems in order to use the lift.

3. Yuki-hime certainly seems to have it in for Kennosuke, much more so than the others. Of note is that, like the other Elifdolg warriors, she has that red glow in her eyes, whereas kennosuke does not. It has, further, been demonstrated that the nanites used for controlling the Geoframes have the ability to rapidly heal. It follows that, among the nanites' abilities would be a subtle form of mental tethering, a sort of brainwashing where subjects still have free will, but are bound to serve the purposes of Elfildolg.

4. Further, given Yukihime's transformation, we can assume that either a) Kennosuke was freed of their control by some means or b) that, per the cactus mechanism, Elifldolg operates as a society of warrior-slaves, whereby subjects are abducted from potential invasion targets to be trained as warriors and then sent back as infiltrators. Given the ability of nanites to rapidly heal targets, it is also likely that the confer a form of immortality.

5. the man with the demon mask is more than likely the female lead's father.

I highly doubt they can mass-producing a giant robot in short time, and it seems when the robot use gravity lift alone is way faster than bunch of robots use gravity lift at the same time.

Camera kid is really annoying now.
It is your right to chase that fight or whatever, but if danger comes to you, protect yourself dammit.
and it is very frustating when he don't say thanks or some gratitude to soldier who saved him and just realize 'ah, he's human too'.
so all this time you think he is alien or some NPC, kid?

The OP and ED is much better than before. Yukina is becoming more useful, Sophie is becoming more kind and Ken needs to go to the hospital.


There's something wrong with the camera guy. He had no reaction to the soldier who saved him and wasn't scared when the princess was running towards him. Even Akagi thought that was messed up. Maybe he's a sociopath or something? I'd love it if the anime explores what's going through his mind because so far, he's pretty apathetic and only cares about how much views he can get.

Damn this episode was intense !!! Idk why but I get the feeling the demons arent the real enemy here and the demon who protected Ken was actually Yukinas father or someone who knows him.

Still wondering why the hell does this have a 6.95, I don't take Mal's rating serious but for reals this anime has proven to be amazing so at least it should be around a 7.9 :/

Even so...

I think the camera kid adds to the show. I think that out off all the char he will be the one that never gets killed, they can drop a bomb and he would record it and still live.

Phew God. That was a very strong start of the 2nd cour, if you ask me. Fights are awesome in this episode, I enjoyed them to fullest.

I'm convinced to some degree that Ouma's memories 've been brainwashed. The truth is most likely so opposite of what we know.

Interesting, it seems like the thought that these people are being brainwashed rather than controlled is a valid thought now.
Yukina x Ken is getting stormy with the princess entering the fray, and frankly I just want everyone to sit down together, have some tea or something and just get everything straight xD

But altogether a very strong start for the second half and I'm excited to see more action like this!

After the first half of the middle double episode "lack" of action, it was obvious this one would be full mecha battle. Still interesting thanks to the informations delivered and somewhat pleasant.

3.5+/5

Camera guy, show some sort of emotion damn it! He didn't have any fear of 'Yukihime' charging at him and even though a UN soldier bravely took the blow for him and left a nasty wound on his leg, the camera guy didn't show any sympathy, surprise or atonement for not getting out of the way.

Someone needs to hammer some common sense into his brain. Staying alive matters more than your view count on your stream, dumbass! >_<

Other than that, the episode was really good. I didn't expect the demon that Ken described sometime ago would come out of nowhere and challenge Yukihime, thus saving Ken's life.

The episode, for me, also confirmed about the demons being brainwashed and have new memories, otherwise this 'Yukihime' would've remembered her time with Ken 450 years ago.

I had even more respect for Sophie's butler, who bravely took on Yukihime with a small dagger and his physical attacks. Nice! =D

New OP and ED are also good too, but I'm still used to the first OP and ED for now, so I'll save my judgement for the new songs for another time.

Okay. props to the UN soldier for protecting civilians, but he 10000% didn't need to do his job there and let that annoying shithead die. Fuck that shithead brat, fuck the guy that decided he isn't allowed to die, and fuck every character like him. I am 100% salty that he didn't die this episode. Other than that, great episode. Some nice fighting near the end. Kenny needs to find the truth about his past, cause this is getting a bit confusing.

I Think Ken Will Rescue Yukihime In The Final Episode Of The Anime. But There Is A Reason Of Ascendant And Ancestor Of Yukina - Yukihime of The Washiba Clan Become An Soldier of The extraterrestrial Oni is because she is already dead or resurrected and bring back to the Life By Alien Ufo Techonology Of the Extraterrestrial Oni.

I Predict and Speculate That There Are Two Possible Ending In The Final Episode,
1st Impossible Ending - Ken Saved The Ancestor of Yukina - Princess Yukihime Of the Washiba Clan From The Extraterrestrials And Live Within The Family Of Yukina in the Modern Era, 2nd Certain Ending - Ken Saved The Ancestor of Yukina - Yukihime Of Washiba Clan From The Extraterrestrials and Passed Away.
PS:IN ADDITION, Yukina Shirahane Actually Is Reincarnation Of The Princess Yukihime Of the Washiba Clan And My Reincarnation Theory Is Always Hundred Correct so I Predict That Final Episode Will Has 2nd Certain Ending - Ken Saved The Yukihime Of Washiba Clan And She Passed Away.

OMG I think camera boy is the character that I hated the most since I watch anime. This guy definitely must die.

The action was great. It looks like eYukina's father succeed to become friends with the demons.

i think the OP song from the first cour is better than the new one
but the new ed song.........i think it's way way way better than the previous one, but i still think the previous ed song is still great. just a different vibe coming from those two songs. felt like storm after calm :D

Overall, it was a very unexpected episode imo. i think it just escalated very high compared to any other epison imo. the battle scene, the cinematography in the action scene was getting better too, and in addition the hand-to-hand action was so badass and cool imo. hope to see more of that too especially hand-to-hand battle with sopie's butler.

and last thing; that camera guy, pls just someone kill him already. someone just saved him and he acted like it ain't nothing to him at all. and he was still recording everything in the stage even after Kenosuke got stabbed. what a complete asshole seriously.

After a staid episode for 90% of the time, here's a very dynamic in action and exhibit new elements in the plot. Engaging and interesting, sufficient in quality designs, best animation and CG, excellent quality of the scenarios. Catchy new OP & ED. Nice design of the Medusa.
