Zero has the third raw but its pretty poor quality (640x360). I haven't watched a raw in ages but i was surprised how much i could understand ^_^
It surprised the hell out of me on how things turned out on this episode. It was was obvious how it was gonna go out like that but it progressed in a pretty good (but cliche' ) way. Great ending to a pretty fun action OVA

Theta wins the creepiest loli in an anime award.
Only Japanese people can make these monsters up.
...and you can put it to finished airing *_*

Quite frankly, the episode was quite annoying. I knew what was going to happen throughout the entire episode within watching the first 2 minutes of the episode. They really crashed a burned with an ending like this. It really wasn't worth the wait.

Haha, yeah same here. I knew that it was going to be this kind of ending back on the first one but I pretty much guessed exactly the events of this one based off the first few minutes. Still... it wasn't horrible just very predictable.

Despite the unoriginal and predictable plot I'm going to have to give this OVA a 8/10 just because I really loved the Tactical Sorcerers. They could have taken this idea much farther if they had done a better job on the plot.

Pretty good series but too short. On another note, anyone knows the name of the song that was playing in the radio?

Meh ending, but atleast they attempted to sum it all up nicely.

5/10, but 6/10 for trying.

I think its predictability was intentional. People know when they are doing something that would end like that, but it's the denouement, the events that surround the actual conclusion that matters. Look at Isaac's character: he goes through so much change. We KNOW what will happen to him from the get-go, but it's his feelings and the events surrounding it that matter the most.

Still a nice quick series. It barily felt like 20mins went by when watching the entire series. I wish we could have seen kapel do something other than just stand around. When I first saw her I though we would see some more magic through her but I was kinda dissapointed..

I gave it a 6, but still very much enjoyed the series. Mostly the low score was because it didn't have enough time to develop for me, I love a well developed series.

This 3 episode OVA was not bad, just that there were a lot of cliches. With only 3 episodes, there was hardly any time for proper character and plot development at all. Still, the action was not bad, and I love the concept of the Tactical Sorcerers.

I just like the blend of armor, machine and magic. A nice quick watch. I guess this is a 6/10 or 7/10 at the very most.

Everything's just good, not more and not less, final too (no matter it was predictable). But Mary is very stupid character, too stupid for me. 6/10 with and 'cause of her, 7/10 could be without.

Man, this series had so much potential, but they rushed through it way too quickly. They should have spent much more time on things like Rayott's master and the whole Kapel Theta thing. Oh well, it was pretty good overall.

Watched the whole thing as a movie so going to cover the whole thing here!
The first impression of this ova was quite amazing the setting was good the pace was rather decent and the whole story fitted quite nicely in the setting combining the old with magic!

It sure was a great ending where it took a bit of a plot twist but made it quite interesting! Would love to see a whole series of him hunting those monsters!

Great ova's in general! 9/10

I wish this was longer because I really liked this and there still so much that can be explored on the story and the setting. 8/10

Wished it was longer.
And oh noes... blond guy.
I fully understand the title name now.

This gets a 6/10 wonderful premise but 60 minutes did it zero justice. Maybe the manga will be better.

This really felt rushed.

Isaac's rivalry with Reiott, the boss's plan, the terrorist organization, ect... seems like they just wanted to wraps up every plot line in a short time.

Also in retrospect, this makes the boss looks a lot dumber since he kept talking about his sister so I thought he had an evil plan about her. And it turns out he didn't and didn't even know where he was (which is why it turned out like that). Also he wasn't really sneaky at all on his phone calls.

Still decentish but quite an unimpressive ending.

The whole story surrounding Isaac was more interesting than Kepla's. And the whole lazy philosophy section that came from it should have been cut and it should had focus more on action. It tried to develop a lot more to the story than the time it have.
