Idk why but I find this episode kinda silly. That little 'date' was kinda odd. Cecil blushing was cute though.

Oh snap, that ending. Hope she finds more clue to help her mother out. I'm still suspicious of Moyo.

Cecil died once?! Didn't expect that one. Hopefully we can get more answers in the next episode,

That case with Cecil's mom was really messed up.

Yosh!! Plot finally starting to move at a faster pace :D

With last ep and this one we've been getting lots of nice revelations and much more questions ^^;

This is getting good. What was the part with Cecil's mom though? How is she alive if she was sentenced to death? Or was that a dream?

Cecil dying once was hinted to last ep but I really want to know what happened.

I'm starting to see the sides though.

First Shizumo's group, another is the wizard Barristers other than Butterfly (the guy at the end) and Moyo. Quite a lot of stuff I can't figure out yet but I'm hyped now :D

Oh and lol at everyone's reaction to Hotaru defending Cecil XD

That was kind of anticlimatic, Cecil's voice doesn't help either.


I think that this is me focusing on something completely irrelevant but doesn't the boy that used to hang around with Cecil look a bit like Moyo?

Shizumo looked like he was under a lot of pressure.

Good thing Hotaru showed up, that was a close call.

I'm surprised the Wuds haven't taken over the world yet, shows how much humans hate their inferiority. For example, banning Wuds from governmental positions, discrimination, etc.

Innocent until proven guilty my ass. It's like guilty until proven innocent not just for Cecil's mom's case, but for all of the trials. Cecil doesn't qualify as a barrister if she have only realized this now. I agree though that the mother is guilty based on the scene. Come on, the police officer was trying to subdue the criminals and rescue Cecil in the process. Shooting Cecil was accidental and I'm pretty sure was never meant with any ill intention. The mother's actions were irrational just like the logic in this anime.

Coz the writer is stupid and he wanted it to be like that.

When I posted that speculation on last week's thread, it was more of a joke on the writing. Oh wow I was actually right, she died on that day lol Though I was off with her death being pinned on her mom, didn't think there was a cop involved in it - most likely part of that evil faction.

Akua really looks like Moyo. Could't be a coincidence.

Kaede already gave them a hint when she said "her father's sentence will be reduced." That only means the one giving orders is tied to a high-ranking individual in the judicial system. I didn't think it would actually be the chief justice O__o

Props to this show's creator. It has already surpassed Galilei Donna (not saying much but yeah). I'm happy ^^

Everyone's shocked expressions at Hotaru defending Cecil was great :3

Cecil's blushing face is so damned cute.

Eyeballs 0_0 WHY?!

I'm surprised the cop showed his secret so easily, magic should of been his last resort.

"Died once" Dafuq!

I completely agree, either way Moyo is such a mystery.

The Devil? I was suddenly getting some Bible Black flashbacks there. In any case, it seems that Cecil is the key to the whole mess and me thinks Moyo is actually one of the bad ones. Let's wait and see.

I knew it... it was kind of obvious that Cecil had died when thinking about the clues in the last couple of episodes and her loss of memory. Pretty surprising to see Natsuna defend Cecil in front of everyone, priceless reaction ^^

To see Kujira use his magic, and the way he did it? trying to hit Cecil with a fire extinguisher :3
didn't seem logical when he obviously tried to catch her.

I don't get why Cecil's mother wasn't executed immediately? Every other person we've seen in the series who got sentenced to death were killed straight away.

Pretty good bet.
The plot has a twist that leaves me appalled, Yay.
Narration much more pleasant than usual, I'm satisfied.
Drawings not immature as in the past, animations instead despicable at times.
Now that I love you, this anime, even if certain details were now clear as to who are the potential allies and possible adversaries Cecil.

Pretty good episodes despite a few things that didn't feel right.

Thought it was kinda strange for Shizumu to show his magic when he was trying to catch Cecil. Why blow off her trust like that? Not the smartest move.

Didn't expect shark knight to be good guys when they were introduced. I'm glad they are though :D

I thought Akua was Moyo at first. Maybe they are the same person...would explain why she likes Cecil so much.

the plot is getting really fast paced now, maybe too much... if they hadn't had the filler like 6th episode and the weaker 7th and 8th then they could have worked this a little more.... also cecil as a character is very monotonous and even when she shows emotion it doesn't look or feel like she is D: the scenes that were meant to be sad didn't even really bother me, and the weird half date with the guy... was so random!

not sure, just gone little messy now! shame!

I had it spoiled that there were Satan worshippers this episode... but I only just registered the fact that Moyo's jacket says "Go to Hell" on the back. Interesting little detail I suppose.

Yeah, I was wondering about that as well. It's been 5 years since she got the death penalty... yet she's still sitting in a cell. What the hell's up with that? That's not a death penalty that's a "We might kill you eventually... maybe." sentence.

But technically that's not true about everyone else being killed. It never actually showed any of them dying... only disappearing just like the mother did in this flashback. I had also always assumed that was them dying, but it's possible they were all just sent to some prison as well.

I've been hoping they'll cover why she hasn't been killed yet at some point... but it doesn't look like they will.

True... unless of course he was hoping she'd get away. He didn't really seem like he was trying all too hard to catch them.

Facepalm. What you saw was the how the prosecutor imagined things. It doesn't mean that is what happened. You people can't even understand what the hell you are watching and you think you can play critics.
It's fun how you call others stupid but you can't even understand what you watch.
