| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Natsuna's jealousy/animosity towards Cecil doesn't surprise me this episode. I do wonder if they will ever get along better.. That frog still cracks me up this episode with the way it was messing with Cecil's exercise lol. That case sure got out of control though. |
 |
| O hai Miss Piggy. Could anyone tell if that Hebrew on the courtroom floor was legit or just gibberish? |
| Uhh looks like the Shark Wizards (?) are gonna be the big villain. Cecil wakes up to a new power ... anyone else reminded of Sailor Moon? ROFL. It looked like magic-cancelling power. I was face-palming this whole episode at the forced jokes (ero-Bon, THIS IS MY BATTLE CLOTHES!!!!), but thought Mayu's death was redeeming, if only just a little. |
 |
| That was pretty intense. Well it was gonna happen sooner or later with how unjustified and biased their judgement are. Sentencing to death for unreasonable prosecutions XD Cecil new magic seems pretty awesome. Ero-Bon is hilarious with how he was clinging to her ass that way. Nice Fan service he gave though ^^ |
 |
| Laughed when I saw that the pig was Hachiya's familiar, and that lunch that the frog made for Cecil lol. Those dying words from Mayu. What could they mean. |
 |
| Really good episode, they are setting up something really big here. Really interested about what that Grimoire 365 and the prophecies are about. Like some kind of dark omen to come....(Labone and Macal??) |
| Cecil got some new powers. Good episode. That frog is one of the best characters XD |
| A lot better than the first 2 episodes. Still, the show is too much between silly and serious...I'm not feeling it |
| Damn the non-magicians are really screwed up, this kind of reminds me of Magi. |
| wow hachiya screwed up big time letting her rampage like that. that guy at the end was the cop who shot her??? |
 |
| Finally the main plot appears...its good come early to keep us on this show... ^^ |
| Cecil unlocking new powers :O I swear that frog..that was hilarious And the lunch that the frog made too XD Best episode so far. The beginning of the main plot.. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| That pig creeps me out :/ So they just are magicians or aren't, people can't learn it they are born it; that really helps to explain the prejudice, it's the whole weak grouping up on the strong bit. Doing yoga and the perverted frog hops right on her ass :P One of the things in her hair cracked? Something as simple as that awakened her further or did the orb have the magic stored inside it? Great episode. |
| I really love the cast! <3 This series greatly exceed my initial expectation (which was bad in fact lol). |
| Getting used to turning my brain off for this show. |

| LAAAMMMMEEEEE. The main highlight of this show as per the title should be the court hearings and not some melodramatic emotional tantrums. This anime doesn't make sense. Posse said: >The guy breaks the cuffs of a condemned criminal >The criminal tries to kill an entire room >The guy gets 1 week of arrest at home :logic: |
| that pig is nowhere near cute.. well that really was a pathetic excuse.. he used magic just so he can keep his work?? If ever my employer would order me to do something illegal.. even just once.. I'd resign right away. that frog, being all pervert and stuff is funny but annoying at the same time, bon and yeah that outfit of hers again... trying to be cute.. that only annoys me and look at that I don't know I think that lipstick was meant to be her weapon or something.. how lame the action is the ONLY thing here that is good... I wish there'd be more |
 |
| "You want me to turn you into pork cutlets?" haha. Good episode as a set up to (I think) the main plot. So a normal human can awaken and be a wud? Interesting. The Shark Knights have been scouting Cecil since the first episode. I'm guessing that old guy in the final sequence was talking to one of them to continue recruiting Cecil. I feel like there's more to Ageha and Quinn's relationship. Not just because they look alike but their interactions in the first and second episode suggest they go way way back. |

Silent_Scream said: The main highlight of this show as per the title should be the court hearings and not some melodramatic emotional tantrums. This anime doesn't make sense. And just another anime that had a setting with potential for a deep and interesting plot that got ruined by moe and stupid writing. There are quite a few of these every season. |
| This has probably been the best episode so far though that's not really saying much. That running gag with the outfit is horrible and needs to stop. |
Posse said: >The guy breaks the cuffs of a condemned criminal >The criminal tries to kill an entire room >The guy gets 1 week of arrest at home :logic: Yeah I couldn't believe that, my eyes were rolling I thought they'd popped out of the eye sockets when the I heard the decision! But it seems Ageha paid for those...according to the office conversation, either in monetary terms (I don't think their office is that wealthy though) or in some other concessions (Ageha said it was a secret!)? Anyway, inferring from Ageha's statement about Cecil's newfound magic, Article 5 of the Magic Prohibition Law might be about registration of one's magical abilities, like it's description, extent and limitations to the government? I was wondering what Labone and Macal is/are, and Grimoire 365? Perhaps a legal case citation? But the last guy in the episode implied Labone and Macal could be opposing magical organization/society and/or their respective philosophies (perhaps on the use of magic?), and Grimoire 365 as sort of a book of prophecies. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Did cecil really ask that cop why he shot the girl who was trying to kill everyone, I'm thinking maybe I didn't hear her right? When did this turn into Trigun, I guess she must be a distant relative to Vash the Stampede. |

Ageha: "It's a secret" The logic is still there , I'm pretty sure Ageha has some kind of strong influence with the cops or shit whatever. |

| The logic at the trials makes no sense. And the outfit running gag again..... At least Cecil's new power was nice. |

| ok episode. the series really struggles with finding its identity the series wants to put a heavy focus on law and court but fails to devote enough time to it to make the cases seem important. no time for evidence gathering or interviewing other witnesses and ofc the logic behind the verdict of the court cases is really stupid. the series trying to not be too serious with the cecil's clothing in court running joke kinda ruins pretty much the entire court scenes. action was good, quality was good its all fine but more focus on the cases maybe even one or two episodes without any action would not hurt the show. |
| It doesn't seem like there will be any hardcore sex scenes coming up in the near future, unlike with Kite and Mezzo. So...dropped. And the frog(?) molesting the main girl doesn't count. |
| Boring trial. Removing the handcuffs was a really stupid idea,just put everyone else in danger why don't you.One week punishment only too,seriously. MC is also starting to piss me off with her stupid "combat uniform" and the retarded way they make her blush. Only amusing/interesting part of the entire episode. http://imgur.com/j3fvYEU |
| That pig is just creepy... The way the episode started, felt like i had missed an episode or something, pretty confusing. What a show in that court, kind of weird the way they conclude their decisions... The juries death sentence just like that, changed to life sentence instead because of a simple statement with no further investigation to back it up, also that battle cloth gag again... it's getting annoying. Pretty cool that Cecil has "learned" a new trick though. Overall the action and visuals was pretty good but more destruction and magic wouldn't hurt :3 |

I'm not sure that the show want to put a heavy focus on law, that's just your assumption About the verdict, I think the show indirectly confess that it is stupid shown by the suspect's point after the verdict was presented. But yeah, more evidences would make it better and believable. Time constraint? Different from some people here, I'm ignoring Cecil's outfit so it won't destroy my enjoyment. |
| things happened in that court seem unfair to the wizards, and how come the judge's emergency button always not functioning... for now just glad that the animation quality did not drop like Mezzo DSA |
| Kinda annoying how the court just changes its sentencing all the time. Hachimitsu only getting a week's house arrest for allowing a suspected murderer to freely use her magic is ridiculous. Despite that ridiculousness, good episode. Mayu's last words were very interesting. |

Eh... can't really blame the Japanese for not bothering to try to do research. I imagine Hebrew is nothing of concern for them in the least. I'm pretty interested in the series, there's just something rather intriguing about the court system for wizards, and the law surrounding them and humans, and the amount of prejudice they have to go through. The characters are getting their development, there's really not one I don't like (Nanajiinyi's kinda pushing it, though, what is he, the equivalent of a familiar?). The OP is pretty good, as is the ED, and the animation's nice to look at. Now it looks like there's a bigger plot, though hopefully it doesn't deter from everything, and that it fits in okay. I don't want to get disappointed when I'm starting to fall in love with the show. So I'm definitely sticking around. |

| I've only watched the first like 2 minutes so far and--oh my god--that silver haired guy is hot! |
