An ok episode. It was nice that this show is getting more serious by the episode, but its not near to what i was hoping for before the series started. I hope they do something big for the next 2 episodes

yeah there was quite a bit of filler drama or so to speak, leaving the romance story in stagnation. Finally they reaffirm the confession and display the current status of the relationship i.e. Saito expressed love but is embarrassed around others knowing about it and Louise is unsure of reciprocating. Finally the sword comes back, hes certainly not as annoying as I thought he would be. His comments are enjoyable.

Great life philosophy here. Humanity over royal status and honor. Poor Louise. Henrietta and Louise were both childhood friends. Henrietta probably don't expect Louise to be perfect yet Louise want the best for Hime-sama. Saito is irritated and he can do anything about it. 2 more episodes left. I want this season to end with another bang.

I suppose we've entered the final saga already: The War. With this episode filled with drama, that leave us the action.

I also recall the Void magic. She did it unconsciously the first time (and without chanting a spell ;p). Derflinger's gotta be one of the funniest enchanced items next to Marcosius of Margery Daw.

And now, time for ecchi: (spoiler tagged for space)

Indeed. Another episode where almost nothing happened.. Just two things - one city has been taken with no battle, and they lost "the dragon made of steel" (but i am sure it will be found soon :P).


By the way - nice spoilers, ChiBuki :)

The tactic Albion used in this episode reminds me of what happened to the French during their invasion of Russia (lookup "scorched earth").

But anyways, decent episode, its nice to see it finally start going somewhere, though at this point, my expectations are less than high.

It was an alright episode. I have now learnt that when I'm stranded in a snowy wilderness, I should take my clothes off, as opposed to keeping them on, which would make more sense...:S

PS: Not that I'm complaining that Louise did that.

That was quite annoying. First she failed and then she blamed Saito that he hesitated to kill enemy. Then after he told her that it was her fault, she started punching him. I still enjoy this series, but her "baka baka baka dog" isn't fun that much as it used to be in first season.

I loved this episode. Saito and Louise were both less annoying than usual, they learnt something about the void magic and expressed what drives the way they live. Not much happened but I still thought this was one of the best episodes so far.

Well at least Louise took of her clothes and cuddled Saito...if only he had been conscious that would have been real progress. I get a feeling we'll see Henry again. Henry....Henry....where have I heard that name before in connection with "Albion" history?

As I feared when they officially declared war, the conflict is dragging longer. Albion just did a scorched earth policy not only on the Germania and Tristain's forces but to it's citizen on South Gotha as well. Now I'm concerned the attacking forces might be stretching their supply lines too far and too thin, an effect of strategic overreach.

It was OK on the first season and I'm tolerating it half way this season but man, it finally got to me, I'm tired and annoyed of Louise beating Saito and calling him stupid dog.

Woah woah woah WOAH, what's up with tall this aristocrap garbage? Man, do people actually think that way? "Society has labeled me as X, and has expectations for me to behave like X. I'm going to completely abandon any personal beliefs and philosophies so society can assimilate me. I will live a life under the doctrine of X, because someone told me to."

Actually, that sounds disturbingly similar to religion. I guess people really do think that way. Regardless of that fact, I couldn't help but cringe every time I heard Louise say "but I have to do this, because I'M AN ARISTOCRAT@!!!1!!11!". Mindless.

Poor Saito, unconscious when Louise get nude for him xD

We got to see a bit more how the noble honor works, that dying in pride is a great honor. I cracked up when Saito mentionned the seppuku and Louise took it seriously!

I wonder how they'll end the second season... Anyway, that preview looked... promising ;)
Nyaa!

Well if i look at how kings and queens act and are forced to act and behave.. There are ppl who think like that i guess and yes religion is another good example..

Too bad he can't act on the part of being a man. This episode annoyed me: Royalty this and Royalty that. Enough royalty.

This was a pretty good episode. Maybe not the most action but for everything that was said and the philosophy behind it is great. Yes, you need to have honor but not at the cost of your life. Fight in order to return to your loved ones. You are only human so live. Great episode

This episode sure feels like filler. The only thing that was somewhat interesting was that Derf actually got a few lines of dialog. And the MC finally uses his sword in a pointless fight, despite not even taking it out during the battle last episode.

"I just want to protect the one I love" is childish at best, it's 'shallow thinking'.

So is he's only going to kill to protect Louise from physical harm?
what about her friends, family, home and way of life?
what about her friend's and family's homes and way of life.
what happens to all that if their country gets rekt?

The current war is in response to the enemy's invasion and covert attacks, the enemy can try and fail 100 times -they only need to succeed once.

Childish; at best.

Even for an Aristocrat in their world, Louise seems to be taking it over the top. Muh, I failed, muh honor, muh I must atone for this, I just find it very very annoying if not irksome hearing her say she must pay for it for her life and she must protect her honor even if it means death. Too prideful. Tsk.

This season is actually pretty dark, wasnt expecting this show to be so mature at all.

With all this talk about aristocrat nonsense this world really needs Marx.
