----------------------------------------
Beautiful fight and episode. Full of the same gore and good stuff of episode 10. As usual series tends to be great near the end IMO. It certainly did not disappoint from the very beginning, having a missile launch in the spoilerbeing a fan of those, I appreciated such a setup. Top notch fighting from the beginning with Elise cutting with her volt weapon throughout the Nova’s tentacle (calling them like that) and striking a most excellent pose. Shit started to happen but a good surprise of Yumi coming to the rescue was great because those 2 are the only veterans left from the last Nova clash. The start of introducing the first fight contenders with HQ onscreen gave away who it is and was good looking. Nice ear pieces acting as communications device. Whatever is that thing stuck on Lancelot’s back, it’s pretty gruesome with its hoses. Of course Ganessa always has to make wrong faces at the wrong time but she is not the only one. What really was done well IMO compared to the manga is Cathy’s suffering through running blood/tears from her eyes in the following,

now that illustrated really well her suffering with the Nova’s stigmata implanted in her.

About Elizabeth, I am going to tackle her first because this episode showed the #1 reason why IMO she is the deadliest of the Pandoras. If you notice Elizabeth’s Nova formed crystals with her firing them in the spoilerand that it reverts back to its form. You could pretty much imagine how fast she could be with them in Tempest Turn Accel mode, good in finding the 2 lasers when her other 2 copies do the same thing. Plus she could move those crystals fast. Anyways those crystals shoot out something similar to a Nova’s beam and as such cut through flesh easily as well as can easily knock down in precision the Nova Pandoras’ crystals. As usual Elizabeth’s cocky full of trust face never ceases to be cool but what caught more my attention is that Cathy is able to use freezing. That’s pretty crazy, a Nova Pandora that also acts as Limiter but too bad for Cathy that Elizabeth’s limiter stopped Cathy’s freezing and he is pretty cool in the spoiler

Problem is that his freezing made Cathy go into berserk overload causing a floor meltdown but one Nova Pandora was down and it’s just too bad her crystal was not crushed because its beating red and that resulted in Elizabeth being knocked off and that Nova Pandora to be in front of Lancelot. This could turn out bad next episode.

About Kazuya, he is the man that climbed in this episode with being GAR and a better speech convincing than Touma. Kazuya unfortunately took the wrong time to remind Bridget of him knowing about the senpai. Really wrong time for that. When he started to use his freezing along with his facial expression in the spoilerthat’s when he became really GAR! That’s his coolest expressions yet. What really was baffling with Kazuya but worked out marvelously better than Touma’s speech was the fact that by reminding his time with Cathy and her remembering her smiling face during that time triggered miraculously a going back to her normal Pandora-self while in Nova Pandora mode, which prompted her crystal to torment her back into Nova Pandora mode. Kazuya not giving up and looking bad ass with blood dripping down his face in the spoilerearned himself a place in my Hall of Fame for males. That was just bad ass and he really pushed himself a lot.

His picture with his sister was very cute to see him young like that with her. Unfortunately he Cathy’s crystal overwhelmed him and blasted in the most nasty way towards a wall. Now that must have hurt more than anything before.

About Bridget’s fight with Cathy, that was not good IMO, they took out too much gore and Kazuya’s involvement was a little too glorified despite making him a bad ass. Bridget suffered a lot more hits than ever before. To name them, she got a first nasty one with a slash at her back. It followed fast with her being slashed repeatedly by Cathy’s monstrous quad Accel speed and as such the most perfect cloth ripping with blood mix in balance came to. Now that scene was really balanced out nicely with cloth rips and blood. Further on she gets slammed into the wall with a aura of what looks like meaning to being slammed at a high speed at the wall. The worst IMO of this fight was when Cathy changed her volt weapon type and pierced into Bridget’s body in the spoiler

now that’s gore nice! Even while she recovered from that she still got a slash under the breasts, another one on the chest and a third one on what looks to be a direct hit on her breasts. Damn now that’s a lot of slashes. That’s not to forget another wall slam and the 2nd worst attack on her of Cathy’s stab in Bridget’s shoulder.

Despite all that Bridget excelled magnificently while close up shots of her panties were not omitted most nudity was. The really good stuff happens when the OST plays as Bridget’s eyes become all blue and a shape that reminds me of those from Sekirei. Bridget’s wings from her stigmata and the way her Tempest Turn Double Accel was shown was great! She did a nice job of hitting with her Nova Blood the Nova crystal of Cathy, which unfortunately was not enough and got her back online. I noticed at that time how that crystal was linked to her body with those light strings. Despite that Bridget’s super powering and clashing with Cathy in the spoilerreally amp-ed up the situation of excitement with the OST still being perfectly nice. Bridget’s triple Accel display was also well displayed but it could not last long against Cathy’s Tempest Turn Quad Accel because she still makes 4 figures of herself VS the 3 of Bridget. That almost got her killed until Kazuya freezes nicely Cathy. He thus nicely reconciles with Bridget and of course Cathy’s nipple details are another ecchi plus I noticed.

Kind of wondering what this is. It looks like a stigmata being born and the machine used to infuse into the woman’s body. No matter what Bridget’s nude figure with its setup in the spoilergot me thinking of how nice a art portrait would it be to paint of her when in this form, well it got me thinking a little about that. In the end if Cathy did not stop herself from almost doing a fatal stab on Bridget through a self realization that she did not want to do this here, I would most fear for Bridget’s survival in that situation. Nice Bridget face here and hoping they do not screw up with Cathy’s fate at the hands of Bridget in the next episode because the gore was really toned down a lot.

Rest in the spoilerAbout miscellaneous stuff, the intermission is about Kim Yumi and Elise Schmitz in the spoilerNow in regards to Kim, biggest bust size but I assume this because she is a adult. Surprised a little she is from Korea. I’m OK with the piano playing, used to play it myself. Don’t know about her favorite food but her breasts being her weak point sure makes one want to play with them, especially since they have a huge bust. In regards to Elise, bust size being small is surprising but Germany was a given due to her family name. Her hobby and favorite food is a big OK for me, especially steak!

About preview, the preview leaves really a lot to wonder about but next episode needs the freaking gore! Come on! Bring in more gore than ever and no ecchi at all. They must do it! Anyways, this week’s art in the spoileris something Kazuya should do and enjoy like before the series ends, maybe he will do it anyways in the specials. The art looks nice.
