Finally its here! Same old same old, misunderstandings -> get out of ma room -> romantic moment, etc. Love it, thats how Louis and Saito work. Shrine/ Index outfit looks good on Louise and Tifa as well in the OP.

So Tifa is a void mage and stuff, wow things advanced pretty fast. So Saito went into portal, and came back out with Tifa's call. Oh yes good conflict already starting, looks like Saito could actually be Tifa's familiar. Can't wait to see how this turns out, I sorta like Tifa.

Good start to the last season. 12 Eps only sucks though.

They took too long to get this season out.... I almost couldn't remember anything from the previous seasons....
And thus the reveal about "omg there are 4 Void mages and Julio is a familiar too" kind of had no impact on me....though I guess I should have been surprised or something (maybe rewatching previous seasons again sometime soon might help....)

Actually....what I'm most upset about is the fact that it seems like Saito's Tifa's familiar too cuz of the "entered & exited portal" thing. And I was getting so excited about who'd she summon (another girl to possibly add to Saito's harem? Or maybe another dude that could've turned into a love rival/competition?)

but nooo....they went and picked on poor Saito again. *sigh*.....

ROFL the beginning was just EPIC. His damn ":3" face was hilarious. Great plains to Mountain Range!

I ain't liking the pope. He seems like a bitch.

Woah. That girl with the short pink hair... something tells me she's going to be my favorite.

Wow, they fight over the most useless things. That's like me and my ex-girlfriend.

ROFL SICK ASS LEVITATION MR. COLBERT.

So I wonder if Saito became Tiffania's familiar. Seems kind of dumb the way it happened but if it happens, it should be interesting.

I have rated 5 out of 5. And I mean it!! I like them and specially her. Programmers have created her at their best. Overall it's an enjoyable game. It also didn't cost much money like others as I bought it from PIJ at a cheaper rate.

I always knew that Mamiko Noto would be all-powerful.
What a half-ass way to introduce it though.

I would choose to be Mamiko Noto's familiar over RieKugi's any day.

Holy fk... I'm not used to watching Zero no Tsukaima with this good animation. It feels like I'm watching a movie... surprised no one else noticed or even mentioned this yet...

Anyways, overall, great first episode! Loved it, we got a kiss on the first episode! :)

Well, I didn't know where to post this, but here seemed like the most appropriate place, rather than creating a new thread.

Does anyone know where to find the instrumental version of the ED song ("Kiss Shite Agenai")? I'm not talking about the "Off Vocal" version, but the slow piano piece that was played right at the end of the episode.

I couldn't find it neither in the OST nor in the Single (I even tried the Japanese Special Edition, but I only got two versions with different lyrics). so I'm puzzled.

Anyone? I'm getting desperate here! lol

Even though this was very fanservicey, it felt more like the first season than the third one. It just goes to show that you can have boob jokes and stiff fit a decent plot in. The previous director ought to be taking notes...

Agreed! I've waited so long for this and the first episode was as expected from ZnT - Amazing. Too bad that I watched the first 3 seasons quite a while ago and I dont really remember everything... I dont know if I should re-watch them but this is still awesome. Looking forward to next 11 eps. A good start of the finale!

Saito is emotionally inept isn't he? A normal person would know after 1 season that Louise is very jealous. Saito and Louise are a couple too, yet Saito still acts like he's a bachelor. Is it not obvious that you are a couple with someone when you love that person and she/he basically offers you intimate sex on a boat in season 2?

Well, HD really makes a difference :P
The action also look way more fluid.

Anyway, I think it's a good start. Though, we again see a love triangle forming its way xD
Even if we already know Tiffania have literally 0 chance of winning the harem (in fact, pretty much only Louise has a chance), she will probably be able to steal a kiss from Saito I guess.

It took a kinda weird turn with pope and stuff, but we'll see. It could be interresting. I also hope they go further in some of the side-plot like the other religion (the thing about the same disaster that happened 6000 years ago and the thing about demons) or the sickness of Charlotte mother. They did talk about an elven potion.

Well.. The OSTLAND STILL ANNOYS THE HELL OUT OF ME!
But at least we got confirmed that Tiffania is a void mage too and has a crush on Saito too..
Also pretty cool they got to meet the pope of Romania, who just happened to be a void mage too.. I don't understand though, how he can think he can get Joseph to their side, and what's this "Halkeginia" they need to protect?

Also how come Guirche is still able to boss around with Saito, even now that he's familiar to the princess to Tristian..

Sooo..heheehe... 4 years later, and season 4 and I’m laughing my fucking brains out LMAO
Animations/Art: omg, I’m not so far behind now hehehehe.. Naa Its rather amazing compared to all the other 3 seasons xD So muuuuuuch more details now!!! ecchi just concurred this anime!lol
OP is alright,maybe a OP that i would listen while watching this season,(mostly been skipping that x’D) , ´-´ animation for it,was interesting, more new character.. and the ED.. some ish childish, Its a very Louise Song/Girlygirly pink song, animation for it was tbh.. (feel bad for saying it..) its rather kawaii n adorable with the song and animation with Louise…

As for the episode very Exciting and Fascinating. so there is got 4 Void Mages, and some evil gang? And Saito might/maybe will be Tittania's Familiar as well? who know, so many question.
cause MAL is doing there job for once.

Animation looks really good, definitely improved big time.
I'm glad that this episode starts out with a serious tone already :)

The drama between Saito and Louise in the bedroom saying he should just be Tiffa's familiar was dumb though ... honestly, you have been through so much and still act like that to each other.

Really?
I thought this episode actually felt way more serious than the entirety of season 3.

You mean new characters that ended up in the background just like Season 3? This season did that too. Season 2 was better but given how they derailed the story, that's really not saying much. After Season 2, the story became a train wreck.

I was sort of hoping that this episode would deviate a little bit from the same formula of the last three seasons, but it appears that my low expectations were still set too high. Still, this can't possibly be worse than last season (famous last words) and I'm glad that things seem to be a bit more plot oriented this time around.

The worst part about this show are the constant 'character development resets' in regard to Saito and Louise. They both remain as dense as ever and at this point I think that neither of them deserve to ever be in any sort of relationship with anyone—scratch that, they're actually perfect for each other, seeing how they're both insufferable twats.
