Sad ending to a sad arc, though the timing that Enlike had to destroy the lizard was pretty damn good.

So this is going to be 27 episodes, huh. I wish there were more.

Anyway, all the death scenes on Bantorra are so cruel, nobody gets a good end or anything, that's very realistic but still sad ;_;. Enlike was awesome, and the scene at the end makes me really want to know what the hell is the Heaven.

Is there any other source than MAL itself for the 27?
This site is nice, but it can so not be trusted concerning episode counts.
If there were some prove we could maybe hope that they will continue this into a 39 episodes run.
This series seriously needs more episodes. Next episode seems to be another sidestory, this time about Hamyuts, so the last 3 episodes should be the story of volume 7 and make it end with a plottwist.

Its going on the Amazon DVDs.

DVD 1 has 1 episode, 2-9 have 3, and 10 has 2 (well, at least it is priced that way). There is no confirmation if there are more, or if one of those episodes is a ova or something...

Wonder why all the good characters are killed in Bantorra, and also what will remain at the end ? Still a confusing show but I'm somewhat fascinated by it. I would like to understand what the script is all about and what the real themes of the series are.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

So the Violet arc is next. How the hell are they supposed to fit that in with only 4 episodes?

I loved this episode! It managed to make me rate this anime 9/10 up from 8. Even if it's a little bit rough around the edges, I think generally it is worth it.

We got to know Noloty and Enlike better, and the Director as well...

I think this story is very good, and those who came up with it had amazingly crazy ideas.

I think it's not an actuall arc, I think it's just another insert episode about people's background like before I think.
The next arc 'The Banquet of Liars' should start a bit different...I think they will take the final 3 episodes to cover that (volume 7 is about 270 pages long...so it should be possible as 'Strawprincess' (vol.6) had around 300).

I just hope they really just put a stop then and wait if they can do a second season...please no creative anime-original ending at the last minute .___.

LOL. Yes, he was given a name this ep. But where the fuck did he come from? And are we supposed to care that he (some random crazy Librarian) killed Noloty?

Ever heard of the "trainwreck" experience? Besides that, despite this show sucking so bad I'm holding out in the hopes that Hamutz dies.

It feels like Hamyuts is going to die. She wants it too badly. I remember previously thinking that she wants to die so that everyone has to read her book (maybe there's something that even she doesn't know about herself) or something like that.

I think her death will trigger something... She always seemed to be like a mysterious tool of some sorts that was meant to be killed to trigger something. Probably related to Heaven....

Hmm, yes. Building on from this, my guess is along the lines of she's forgotten something from when she was younger and whatever it is will help the Librarians defeat mysterious!blonde!girl from the intro. Or at least it has some connection to her (she might not necessarily be the villain; it could be the Governor of Paradise or whatever). This show will probably make me throw up in my mouth by making Mirepoc the person who reads Hamutz' book and takes action to defeat the baddies.

Meh, everyone's complaining, but the closer it is to the end, the more I like it xP Enlike/Enrique/whatever was awesome (and I hope he won't die), but Noloty annoyed the hell out of me with her constant clinging to the kid. I mean damn it, woman, enough is enough...>.>
Also, Olivia is alive after all. Thought so, didn't look like the Yluckluck (wtf? is that even the right way to write it? xD) killed her.
Seems like it's the last arc and it's about...Hamy's past? (Liking her more with every episode, too.)

So this Dultom is still alive, and the Governor is dead as well as the new Lascall. Looks like there is still some work to do.

can this episode be called nolotys horrible day cause that being kicked,punched and then stabbed is pretty brutal. if hamy is trying to die for some save the world angle I still cant get behind her. You have to make a character still likable even if you go that angle and this show is far past the point of doing that. Im still confused on how he was put into a lizard and why he was he bleeding from the head.

Darn I feel bad for poor Enlike. Like I'm glad he was able to grant Noloty's final wish, but he lost the one person who gave him a reason to live. Love is cruel :/

But that's the point of the show. Those who are naive and stubborn don't live in this world. The same thing happened to Colio, Mokkania, and Volken. All naive characters with foolish desires and goals, blinded by the want of accomplishing good deeds that really won't work out.
In the case of Arkit, I'm guessing Kachua (the Governor of Paradise guy) turned him into one or transferred his memories into a lizard (how they did with Olivia Litlet in which they transferred Mokkania's mum's memories into her). I mean the kid got stabbed in the head while protecting Noloty from the second stab that blonde haired freak's done. Maybe the kid died, then his book was transferred

Well at least now Noloty's value to the show is made perfectly clear.

Noloty was naive and careless, but did not care. She did not want to hurt Arkit. I also like how Arkit was connected to that village were Mokkania destroyed.

Seems, all these characters are just connected in one way or another.

Really surprised Enrique has kept his cool. You can still feel his rage about Noloty dying.

So Kachua is dead? I keep forgetting Lascall is still alive through that little girl delivering the books.

Though, Hamy was going to die here, but she's too good for it for now.

And wow, Forgot that Olivia was still alive after all. I thought she disappeared and went to heaven?
