Interesting episode. I like how they changed the animation of the OP, it really fits the music and looked great. I still can't wait to see Pinocchio die. Looking forward to more.

I personnally prefered the former OP, it was much more suggestive and symbolic, I find the new one a little plain. Very good episode though, the series is only getting better and I'm pretty confident that the end will be great ;)

The last two eps are back on the original series track. I'm glad I stuck with it and didn't give up.

Agreed. I certainly wasn't opposed to the original animation, but I really like what they did with this new version. Although the series still doesn't compare to the original, it has at least caught my interest and I'm glad Triad is slowly finishing the subs.

Very good 'character episode'. Such well-structered eps help forget about mediocre animation.

Eh, I'm sorry but I don't know if it'll actually happen. I hope it does though.

OMG great episode!! That was every bit as good as season 1!! One of the best episodes of both series, definitely the best of this series. They finally captured the essence of GSL!! Flanca is becoming one of my fav characters!! At first I was a little dissapointed in the season, but the last few eps have really stepped up in a big way, if this keeps it will make for a great series. Pinnochio was stone-cold as ever, and Henrietta with the save was Epic!! She was on that bomb before Jose could finish a sentence, lol!! Hoping it just gets better..Urahara Out!!

Yeah, I liked the new OP too.

And my god, this episode was godlike. The trap at the end was unexpected too.
Loved this episode, first 5/5 for this show.

Better than the first half of the episodes in the series. At least it had a real opening instead of the ugly artsy stills. I still don't like the way Henrietta looks or sounds, but the story kept my interest this time.

There are two types of anime - almost as good as Elfen Lied, and not as good as Elfen Lied.

The new OP was freakin awesome! And Pino is pretty badass I have to say. Though I would have to agree, can't wait until he dies. If he does. ;)

So Henrietta was able to deflect the shrapnel bomb in like what under 2 seconds after being triggered but Triela was incapable of dodging an uppercut by Pinocchio. I still can't let it go >__<

Pretty good episode. Glad we learned a bit more about these two. Its makes them more then just geniric bomb villians. Pino is leaving no impression on me other then stone cold killer and thats it. Hes rather boring and I cant wait to see him axed. I couldint help but laugh when Henrietta smacked the bomb away only cause ya she was saving everyone inside but how about one of the agents were walking by and got faced by it lol. Also for some odd reason I felt bad for that glasses chick.

Dat OP song, Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi, is phenomenal! <3 By far my fav. part of this anime but regarding the anime itself - it's getting better and better from one episode to another. Hard to match that epic fail of first two eps though...

I'm not sure I'd call them villains; they're fighting against a dictatorial government after all. Can't agree with their methods of course.

Wow, it took them only 7 episodes to animate opening. This show must have demons when airing. Iam now pretty sure that photo opening was improvised. But they managed to get thigs better over episodes, I like it. It's always good when good show get sequel, even though it's almost always worse then first season.

I'm keen to learn more about Franca's backstory, but the way it's told to the audience just isn't my cup of tea...

It's becoming full circle, so Franca is actually Patricia's friend who helped her to become couple with Marco

New visual for OP, kinda like the vague images from before
But this one is more personalized by showing characters

When Henrietta deflect the bomb, isn't that more dangerous?
What if there are people standing on the way where Henrietta deflected it

So I guess this season is just meant to be about Caterina, which is why there is so much less focus on the girls and more focus on people that are connected to her. Yeah, I don't really care about her, so I think that's part of the problem with me being unable to get invested in what story there is. The other parts being the dip in animation and change in characterizations.

Jeremiah said he lost two fingers, but in none of the shots did I see anything that suggested he was drawn to reflect that. I see nothing but two hands full of fingers. I mean, they literally could've said anything. I'm tired of this season. The sooner it's over, the better.

There was also some side boob this episode, and usually that would be cause for celebration. But, at this point, I doubt there is anything that could happen that will make me change my opinion of this season.

Impressive how Henrietta deflected that bomb there. Also interesting to see more on Franca.

Finally an animated opening, the other never made any sense.
Franca ( or Caterina ) is such an Hypocrite, wearing a Gold Cross while Killing loads of People, whatever her reasons are.
Hiding a Bomb underneath a Body is nasty.
