The episode is quite alright. Kurogane, Kanade and Shuri are in action but the enemy manage to escape.

I'm having problems caring about the characters in this series. The main characters aren't getting the time to develop at all, mainly because we get more and more secondary characters showing up each episode. And I haven't found any reasons to care about the secondary characters either.

Add to that the abysmally bad character animation of late, as well as the dead delivery of the voice actors, and this series is just sinking into the mud. Thank gawd there are only three episodes left to suffer through.

...so what was this show about again?

I feel we're closing to conclusion, yet nothing was properly explained...

I'm not the only one who thinks the same, am I?

yeah almost over, kurogane kicks ass again; but what i would like to see from this series is tomo and takatsuki getting closer, just a filler episode or something
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Yeah, yeah...the show's bad.

I'm going to guess that this issue of Tomoharu making a contract with Takatsuki is going to be the climax...which is pretty stupid since that's what should have happened a long time ago.

Not much left to say that hasn't already been mentioned... about how bad the show is. I wouldn't mind the large number of characters if the story and characters were developed more... but no, instead the creator throw out random scenes and dialogue that make the story even more ambiguous.

This epd would of been ok, but now the animation is just noticeably dull. When you combine that with the most recent problems this anime has been going through last several epds, it's hard to watch.

Personally, I don't care about the story anymore. The mains don't even feel like mains, it feels like a bunch of people thrown into a twist that makes little sense because of it.

At least you can think about the characters. I still want to know wtf the story is supposed to be.

How pitiful.. Good guys fighting good guys for a variety of conflicting reasons.



As the story develops, it seems as though all the Handlers are good people with different interests and objectives to the point that it is all conflicting ideals which make them enemies of each other. Originally, Reishirou and his Holy Council are seemingly the villians while Shuri and her Dark Society are the good guys but then, it is later revealed in one of the flashbacks as to how Reishirou became the leader of the Holy Council and thus, he isn't one of the bad guys. GD is also formed due to similar reasons. In the end, who are the antagonists??

yeah its always the beginning what confuse me so freaky. but then when i see the fight, some jokes and maybe start to understand a bit more its not that bad really.
too bad that tomoharu didnt become a asura crying, but i am sure it will happen sometime.

I think the main problem right now is that I just don't care about the characters. The crazy redhead just waltzed in and declared himself the villain, and I haven't grown attached to Christina at all.

It's been said before, but if they would have just stuck with the original three characters, and developed them, this series would have been a million times better. But that's exactly what's going to happen in the last three episodes, right? ...right?

"I'll explain later" is the single best line from this episode, because it may as well be the summary for this entire series.
