This episode was nice. I'm starting to get the feel of the series. I'm sure if I'd see all the episodes all in one day I'd love it! :3

i usually read every post before leaving my comment but i'll leave that for later

for know i wanna say something to that guy (mcjazzman32). if the main protagonist is pro from the start it would be horrible.ex. beyblade: metal fusion. it usually leaves no room for character development. and when those kind of characters do have development if often leads to things like skill inflammation.ex,bleach, one piece and naruto
(not saying they are bad; i just don' like)
skill inflammation:
over increase in ability making plot unrealistic.

i'm hoping the George guy finds out about the story and turns into one of the protagonist allies instead of enemies. i mean having George find out that the girl of his dreams is what his life is dedicated to kill would lead to a pretty heavy plot. witch i personally think isn't that great for this kind of anime. unless they plot it well.

The only thing that saved this episode from being completely dismal was George.

Rose looks awfully cute in the white sailor dress.
Poor Misaki is being ignored.

Rose is still awesome. She's seems to have advanced her speach again which is good. White sailor suit is awesome, but no one has commented on the shoes! Those shoes were great^^

Giving her boobs was terrible. Either she has boobs or she doesn't. Why would they decide that the dfc should no longer be deliciously flat chested at the exact moment we want it the most? It's like angelina jolie in a spy movie, hits the shower scene and suddenly *poof* boobs are gone. It doesn't make anyone happy.

Eto was adorable moving like a crab in her snuggie. Poor girl just can't catch a break with Ryuuji. That's good though. I'm all for multiple women, but let's avoid the trappings of the harem genre shall we? I had a panicky moment when I thought we'd have a character development reset and Ryuuji would start being interested in other women, but they neatly dodged that whole thing and then Ryuuji didn't even protest when snow queen claimed they were engaged. Zero no tsukaima this aint.

George was awesome. There's a name for what he is. I can't remember which is the Holy Knight that specializes in Demons and various mythical beasts. Paladins make everything better. Even things they shouldn't. Does the story take place in a dystopian post apocolyptic future with excessively advanced tech? Throw in a Holy order of anachronistic Knights and you will be surprised to see that it is an improvement.

He seems like he might not know the situation. I'd wonder if he could be reasoned with and become an ally, but paladins aren't exactly known for being reasonable lol. I'm sure that what's evil is evil and no one can tell him differently. When he tells the story he'll tell how the poor man had been ensorceled by the dragon's black arts and made to love her, and how he couldn't save the poor man. Died protecting hellspawn. Also, if he was gonna join the team they'd have probably made him a level nine. We don't need two level tens on the team.

I'm hoping he's got some kind of armor under the robe. An unarmored knight is kind of losing the vision a bit. Doesn't actually have to be armor, but he needs some method of defense. If someone could fell him with a shank that will displease me.

Snow queen was also cool. Really hoping she doesn't fall for Ryuuji. They seem to be going in that direction, but it would be much better if she just became part of another cool couple. Perhaps one of the thugs from today's ep? lol.

The artificial skin felt kind of silly once we saw that ice queen was just using a glove. Eriko needs to learn to keep it simple.

So I guess the previous arc was the first time Ryuuji successfully used his powers. He's a level ten though. This would mean that the level is innate rather than an actual representation of skill. I'm not a fan of hard-set power levels. I'm also not a fan of when there seems to be no reason for them. I'm not a fan of when they can't even bother to explain why all this power, and thus responsibility, was thrust upon the man against his will. This is not a pleasing development for me.

As far as the thugs go, did anyone else notice the one calling george ossan looked like he was in his fourties? That freaking stache. Can't stop laughing at it.

I wanted Margarite to fall for Masato. He would have been a good team mate. Unfortunately I don't think he qualifies as a breaker. If anything make Margarite fall for George and they live happily. I so want Margarite to stop George and some development in regards to that.

I think the set power level are determined according to the rarity of the artifact but as of right now it's kind of confusing. I am not sure if they are going to explain the breaker world but if anything on the side can, then I could check it out like for Index second season I did with the LN. Someone already spoiled me about Ryuji and in a way I am glad because I understood last episode far better and thus spent less time scratching my head.

I will agree with this 100% Ryuji needs to grow in this series not be Mister I know it all and grow into Hulk, he needs 1) Have skill development in protecting what is in danger in front (mainly his friends, Eriko and Rose), through situations (like the mission of this episode) and his own character growth. IMO it gets shitty if the character does not learn from his past.

George and his little acts of comedy did play a role in keeping the episode alive, but how he falls for the white dragon is just kind of ironic since he's hunting dragons and falls in love with one...I wonder what will he do once he finds out that she is one? Just hope that no one has to die just like the tale they were telling about the human/dragon relationship.

George was awesome xD I liked him a lot more than I thought I would. I'm cheering for something to happen between him and Maruga, considering how he fell head over heels for her at first sight. I think she's got enough of a backbone to deal with him as well, but she's still delicate. The story itself was also very nice. That's what George has placed his assumptions on, so perhaps hearing to actual story from Maruga or Ryuuji will change his mind.


I hoping for this as well, I think George and Maruga would be a great couple, plus there's already an interesting dynamic between them. If this ends of turning into the show were all the girls fall for the main boring dude, even though it's obvious who he's going to end up with, then this show is going to be extremely disappointing.

Is he actually hunting them or does he just consider them to be a metaphor for evil? That's what I got after his talk with Ryuuji.

You can keep the loli. I prefer Eriko,and yes I know the concept of real girls. Strange. Her bikini made her boobs smaller it seems. Guess they become smaller if you give them support. I'm not even sure if she even wears a bra.

What's nice about Eriko's breasts is that they have just enough droopage and mobility to look real, but not enough to be unnatractive or saggy and without looking like we're using the bounce effect. They're natural boobs.

As far as the bikini making them smaller, maybe the animators just don't know how to do swimsuits. Etou turned out well, but if both the Rose fans and the Eriko fans have complaints about breast sizes in swimsuits, maybe this just isn't their forte.

Another good episode! The first half was a little boring though. I hope this doesn't turn into just a generic harem with action elements though. The first couple episodes were exciting, but its sort of getting less interesting.

After watching episode 4, I am still really surprised with the animation quality this show has. It's not like your usual DEEN works where you see the dropping in quality work midway or whatnot, it's almost as if they got a new animation team doing this show and they got the budget for that.
As for this episode Rose was so cute in this episode, she`s seems she can speak and communicate more now which makes her character standing more. I just loved her and that white sailor suit is awesome.
That OST is a masterpiece with all that new background music when Margarite was introduced in this episode as the White Dragons` Empress and she is a royalty like Rose, is just makes you Love the OST....I sooooo wanna get it ^.^.
Maruga is an interesting character indeed, she is a noble, a young princess with a pure heart though she doesn't wanna show that to no one especially not to the humans, she can be scary sometimes but I just like her and her Seiyuu is Horie Yui, oh man, she is one of my favorite Seiyuus, The Anime staff did really a good job picking her for that role.

My drawback is that they skipped some prior introductions from the light novels; for example George Evans introduction, like how he was given orders from the Knight Order to exterminate the Dragon that appeared in Japan & all the dragon`s accomplices and to head there ASAP especially after the damage the dragon caused in Japan and also George doesn`t know whether that Dragon is a male or female,

Poor Misaki got totally ignored! Looks like George will find out about the dragons next episode, but it was good to have him for comic relief in this one.

Maruga was pretty cold (ha!) in the beginning, but later on opened up a bit. Hopefully she won't become another member of Ryuuji's harem though. Of course Rose was cute as always, especially at the festival.

So Ai's the one with the gold and silver eyes? Look forward to her appearance! I wonder what her element is. ^^

So fourth episdoe already and still no proper explaination about what the fuck are Lost Precious, breakers or Society. Well, at least there's good animation - the only thing in this show that doesn't make it look like DEEN.
And like guies above said, still no Ai. Σ(゜д゜;)

I really love Rose, she's cute and is another great character voice acted by Kugimiya Rie :)

I would prefer if the story had more romance in it, but I guess the characters are pretty young, so not much usually happens in this type of series.

But the fighting is quite good, I look forwards to the next episode with all the action (although I do prefer more relaxed episodes).

EDIT: Wait, no there isn't! But I hope there's more but ask me again when I've watched the whole series!

Anyways, series heating up! Love George, he's awesome, but what will happen when he finds out the girl he fancies is a dragon?

I know you can help it when you fall in love with someone but Misaki needs to move on for her sake of her sanity... the dude in an activity that was schedule by them didn’t pay any attention at all to her, heck... he even spent more time with the new girl introduced in this episode. She is a bright lady she must know that after his cousin came back for him and he meet Rose her window of opportunity because she was shy AF has closed...
