It keeps getting better. o.o This was my favorite episode so far since it finally started confirming a lot of important things, plus adding new plot twists. Ugh, I don't want to wait another week for the next episode. . ___ .

As usual the battle is meh but looks like the story is getting good. Looks like the assumption of the four maidens in the bus was true afterall.

Props to the guy who got it right. Also, a Star Driver PSP Game? Awesome!

As to the episode, it gets serious.

The first part of the episode was a little slow, and I really hope that they start fleshing out these characters a bit more (we still don't know what makes Wako or Takuto tick, and we only know a bit about Sugata), but the last part of the episode TOTALLY makes up for it. It was dark, it was interesting, the animation was incredible, THEY SKIPPED THE TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE THANK GOD, and Ayingott looked damned cool.

And who didn't see the fact that Keito is a maiden coming? Based on the bus ride, Keito's figure being glimpsed when Marino was in Ayingott, and her conversation with Head afterwards, it's a fact.

I love the new OP and ED as well.

Hmm, looks like some heartbreak is coming in the next episode.

Now it's pretty much confirmed that Ivrogne is the 4th maiden. Also, what's up with Head? His body froze when Sugata entered Zero Time, but then he was there too.

Imo, 1 of the best episodes so far, man that cybody was sickk. 3 eyes, thought the fight scene was going to be good, and though Sugata was about to join da battle, but he didn't and it ended the same way... Hopefully the fight scenes aren't repetitive in the coming episodes

Ayingott looked kinda badass with those three red eyes :D well that's probably because it's a bad cybody :D
So assuming the OP, that white/blue cybody is Head's and that big dark blue cybode is Sugata's I hope they'll hope quite much of action and not only like in the last few episodes.
The battle was kinda lame, hel there was almost no battle like last time, but the story is getting better and it seems in the next episode those pink haired sister will have a fight over something :D
I wonder if Head knows that Ivrogne is a Maiden, why doesn't he brake her seal :/

Love the new OP and ED! The OP is definitely the best.

This was actually one of the better episodes this show has had, even though Wako was still annoying as hell. They significantly reduced the entrance sequence for Takuto, so that was definitely nice. The battle was probably the second best this show has offered, the first in my opinion was when Sugata and his maid's were fighting (while not in cybodies).

For this show it was good, but it's still got a long way to go. They had all this suspenseful music and everyone gasping at Ayingott's power, only to have Takuto and Sugata take it down with one attack each. Although, I wasn't really that disappointed with that since I knew it would happen. I was also hoping Mizuno's sister would die. Don't get me wrong, she's one of the characters in Star Driver that I actually like! But I think it would have greatly added to the show if she had been a sacrifice. Based off of her not being in any of those memory's with Mizuno, she just might die after all.

Ah, and thanks all you people who linked the OP and ED in this thread. It's appreciated. ^_^

New OP and is finally here.. hmm, still like the first OP and ED better though.. Taublue and Final Boss spotted!!

Finally we got a true badass Cybody!! but as usual the battle isn't quite satisfying being so short and still following the usual formula, I was really hoping that there will be more coming from that fight..

so it's almost confirmed that Keito is also a maiden, but seems she's really siding with the Crux.. I'm still hoping she's on the good side though..

what the?! how the hell did Head managed to enter Zero time when he isn't wearing any mask from the start?? maybe he does have a mark already, but why is he frozen when zero time initiated.. (smells like plot hole for me)

Interesting preview, finally getting the sister fight scene..

Best looking cybody so far in SD is Ayingott imo, too bad that with all that awesomeness the battle lasted on 5 bloody seconds , HAX!!! DX. Hopefully this anime will get a place in the next SRW game (if they will make a new one that is). And lol @ commercial for PSP game that is more like a visual nover/dating sim with small battle seq.

There have been speculation that head is Takuto's dad so maybe he has a mark too? This episode was good and the new OP and ED just makes it better. The bad sound at the end gives me bad vibes that something bad is going to happen to the sisters. Doesn't look like next episode Mizuno would be cheerful.

The OP and ED songs are nice, but like always the OP seems to spoil to much.

It seems that I can't take the fights serious since they are only always doing 2-3 moves and then it's over. The story starts to get more serious with Keito and Head confirming that they knew that Mizuno is the West Maiden. Well let's see what surprises has next episode for us.

Probably the best episode till now, which proves that with some developments something good can come out of this series. Anyway, the two pink-haired sisters are probably the most interesting characters. Oh and good new OP/ED by the way.

Well now that they actually have a target except Takuto who cannot lose, things should get more intersting. The maidens don't die obviously if they get their seal removed, so i hope the org gets to level 3 so we get some good action for once.

Why would he throw away something that valuable? a maiden that is working for the crux.. she can use her maiden cybody to fight against takuto, and since takuto doesn't want to break the seals, he will be unable to fight back.

I liked the new OP and ED, but I kinda miss Gravity 0.

It looks like the plot's going to pick up the pace now, which I'm all for. I kinda realized that the previous 13 episodes didn't really say a whole lot about the how and why everyone's having fabulous robot fights.

As for the blue Tauburn, it probably is Samekh or somehow related to Sugata/Head, but I'm wondering about when Takashi is going to use his Phase 3 (it was already mentioned that he was marked).

Also, I spotted two new girls in the ED when everyone's surrounded by the Crux.

And do what? We've seen instances where Takuto and Sugata recognize the Crux Star Drivers, but they do nothing about them during school.

Wako needs to stop reading yaoi dojinshis. What's up with the naked girl montage in the opening? Reminds me of Gundam openings.

YES! They finally shortened the Tauburn entering battle scene! However...short battle was short...as usual...

Now Sugata is onto Head, Glittering Crux is onto Mizuno, and apparently only Head knows Ivrogne is a Maiden?

Really good episode.. sad that Aqua Timez traded the OP for Star Driver for the ED for Naruto :(

Speaking of music, anyone else notice the slight hint of "Monochrome" right before we get to the obligatory battle of the episode? Kind of got my hopes up that the song would return.

Anyway... I knew it was only a matter of time they discovered about Mizuno... and Sugata cheating to help Takuto seemed more like a "Crap.. we don't have enough time to anime a full battle... meh.. KING'S PILLAR! Budget and problem solved!"

That's the only thing disappointing me about Star Driver is that the battles are over in like 30 seconds. For once, i'd love to see an entire episode devoted to a battle.

Other than that, gangan. I'm now having a hard time deciding who's best, Mizuno, Marino or Kanako. (Well after Sarina, of course.)

And I found it strange that Head got frozen when they entered zero time. Not to mention that he later appeared in there.

Oh also, also! Takuto's transformation scene was shortened! : D

Side-note: Well, Ivrogne was the fourth maiden. Which was hinted at back in the episode where Sakana-chan left.
