| what the fuck was that? i liked this show but it all went downhill for me here. why the fuck did shizumu save her? why the fuck would cecil defend shizumu's dad? stupid episode |
 |
| What's with the skips in animation this ep? Plenty of sfx were playing and the actions that go along with the sounds weren't done. wtf Japan, you're better than this. |
| What are you looking here for |
| I thought Samumenco was low budget... but then I watched this week's episode of Wizard Barristers. |

| I thought ep 5 of hamatora was bad, this is even animation this point. |
| The animation in this ep... THE HORROR, THE HORROR |

| What is with the bad animation? I thought that there was something wrong with the episode file I downloaded. I didn't even know that Shizumu died until they said so, not just that, I don't know what the hell happened this episode.. Thanks for ruining the show even more. |
| This episode was like a troll... They run out money... |

| Based on progression with the story i think it was a good episode but holyhell the animation quality dropped this time... Simply too many still frames, loss of effects and overall visuals impacts. I would have preferred that they simplified the transformation and had used their budget to finish the actual story in a proper animated way ._. Also WTF wings!? |

| Really dissapointed with this show. I had such high hopes for it.. they really fucked up this episode too. also next episode is gonna be worse probably. |
| The terribly animated opening scene ruined everything else that came after it but they weren't even done with their stillframe bullshit. Probably one of the worst anime episodes I've ever seen. WTF. |
| Lol the budget for this ep was all over the place. Quite unfortunate what happened to this show. I felt it had potential to be pretty good but it was just badly managed. |
 |
| I actually restarted my video player and changed the episode version. I was caught off guard like crazy, until know the animation was what was carrying the anime. Wtf was this seriously? |
| It's amazing how they could ruin an entire series on 1 episode. Like seriously??? the one episode that's critical to the story, one that contains Macal's ceremony, Moyoyo's revelation as Lucifer, as well as Shizumu's death is animated so Goddamn poorly! I've never seen anything worse in modern anime. Fuck the studio that produced this.. should've cut less important things if they are really tight on budget *smh* |

| Holy shit this was easily the worst episode of the series thus far. The "animation" (it was more like still images) was god damn woeful. The Manga 2.5 series on Crunchyroll have more animation than this episode. I thought there must have been something wrong with my episode. People kept talking but the shots weren't moving, seems many other had the same thought lol. Plus the story resolution, pacing and explanations all felt weird, rushed and poorly executed as well. I was really liking the series upto this episode. Every aspect of this entire episode should/needs to be completely re-done for the Blu-ray release. |

| What the hell. I was enjoying this series, but this episodes animation problems made everything so awkward. Especially that scene when Shizumu was shot. I believe it was supposed to be emotional, but because of that animation scene, it was awkward as hell. Cecil didn't even look at Shizumu when he was dying. Guess that happens when you're on low-budget. |
| Next episode is gonna be a power point slide show |
| I really liked this episode despite the poor animation I'm not surprised that Moyo is Lucifer. Her face look like the devil |
thepathMar 25, 2014 1:18 AM
| The content finally gets interesting and then they screw it up this bad. 4 characters talking while there's still a still screen of Cecil. The death of one of the more important characters was a complete joke. If they didn't say it on screen, you wouldn't even know if he was dead at all. This must be the laziest animation I've ever seen. If it's unfinished, then delay it. What the hell was this ?? Focus less on the way too long mecha animation that I don't give a rat's *** about and more about actual critical animation... Even doubting to give this a 5 now |
| 3/5 Stitches327 said: Lol I thought my video file was messed up the whole time watching this episode. I agree! D: The plot today and horribly "scarred" by the script and animations not received. I should have bocciarla, but still the job "third world", I promote the episode in its entirety. Curious to know how the series will end. It seems that the plot twists are not finished here. All this uproar about this episode that I think will have an impact on the sudio Arms, poor people do not want to be in their shoes. Story that was supposed to have some extra bet, although good narrative today it is seen that there has been a rush cerrta in dealing with the topic, a real shame, but interesting too superficial. This is the first time that happens to me, however, to see an episode like that, other times've seen episodes with horrible drawings and animations to savings (NHK docet), but I have never seen something like that, never, ever! P.S. WOW! This is the first time I see a poll with the values reversed! O_O |
 |
| Why in the hell are some people trying to compare this with Psycho Pass or SnK? Like,the animation quality NEVER dropped to this level, NEVER. and they were just great stories to begin with, while this..this was just shit.. and shit got shittier. So no,you havent seen this before, this is one of a kind. Horrible episode. Well,the series was kinda horrible to begin with, so i'm kinda surprised that everyone's surprised. It was a mediocre anime and i knew something like this was gonna happen down the road eventually. If only the people behind this werent dumbtards, they couldve actually built upon the great premise this setting had. Sad. sad indeed |

| LOL wow, that was the worst episode of anything I've watched EVER. They seriously ran out of budget? Will the next episode be a slideshow? Lmao my god even worse than that is the script, Moyo Lucifer? Ok. |

| if the animation from the previous episode was bad, this one is totally terrible this reminds me of Mezzo DSA (first and last episode = movie quality, the ones in between = cheap animation) I guess the budgets are saved for the final episode... |
SandyBoi said: Wth this entire episode. Stitches327 said: Lol I thought my video file was messed up the whole time watching this episode. Yeah same. Bad. ME TOO !! =_= |

 |
| this was one fucking deep episode. made me think, a lot... what am I still doing here anyway? |
| Wow, that was... bad. Poorly animated would've been highly preferred to the stills and repeated frames we got this episode. |

 |
| Um yeah...talk about poor animation. They must've ran out of money. I thought a lot of things were abrupt and badly directed. First it's hard to believe Cecil didn't put up more of a fight before being taken away by Shizumu considering she's supposed to have unrivaled magical potential and has awakened several different powers. And that summoning ritual was...bad. Anticlimactic and flat in atmosphere. And all it took to break it was a little wind magic. I expect these things should be hard to set up and hard to stop. Subsequent jumps from event to event just happened too fast and were so poorly done. I've never taken a critical view towards this show and just enjoyed it without thinking too much, but this time it wasn't even mindlessly entertaining. I can only hope the end will tie up loose ends and give me a good explanation for what and who Moyo is. She's still a mystery to me. |
 |
| I almost want to pick this up again from episode 6 if I read these comments haha :') I guess I dropped this without regret. |
| So they animated the tail ripping off her panties but not Shizumu getting shot. |
 |
| What the hell was this episode? And I'm not just talking about the animation. So Lucifer = Moyo? And Lucifer just wants to live in Cecil? Moyo woke up the unconscious orange-haired girl for what reason? This episode was just terrible :( |
| what if...those frames were supposed to be used as imagery for the animation? well, it JUST might be. Well, cut the hate, man. It was fun, at the very least. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Is it just me, or did they accidentally throw the beta video on air instead of the finished product? Considering how well the animation had been done up to episode 10, I find it hard to believe that the drop in quality was deliberate. The number of scenes where the action didn't follow the sound bytes was insane, and that scene where the antagonist was screaming inside of his Metaloid robot didn't even LOOK like the antagonist! Then there was the three shots at Shizumu. I was like, what da fuk? Was there any messages on the official site or maybe on news boards explaining this beta-test cockup? |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Lmfao. The budget fail this episode was just hilarious. |
 |
| This has nothing to do with the budget or the skills of the animators. It was painfully obvious that this episode wasn;t finished. I felt really bad for the people working on this show, the visuals so far have been fine IMO and especially the battle scenes have been great. If not for the unfinished animation this episode would have been pretty decent. Some scenes in this episode looked great, too I'm really hoping episode 12 is not like this. Having studied animation myself, I know what a terrible thing a deadline can be.... |
| I usually never comment on the forums, but dammmn that was one of the worst episodes of any anime I've ever seen. It made me physically ill. On another note, what's the freakin' point of the familiars, where do they come from, and why does the pig one make me feel so uncomfortable? |
| Oh, wow. At least I'm not the only one who hasn't seen an episode of anything this poorly executed in a while. Or ever, actually. |

PetitFours said: Very nice PowerPoint slide show with voice acting. The more I think about this the more hysterical it gets. SHIZUMU'S DEATH SCENE! Shizumu is holding Cecil BLAM! Shizumu is flat on the ground. Cecil seems mildly concerned about this. Shizumu: "Arg, I'm dying. Bleh" THE END. Also, I feel obliged to add this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzyd91NFx-Y |

| that fucking death scene..i can't this episode reminded me of like old shitty 80s movies which were just poorly edited gonna be hard to not forget this episode lol |
 |
| Lol the episode wasnt that badly animated. There were a few moments that made me look back and wonder what was going on, but the story was still interesting despite the loopholes which most anime have anyways. I think this show is probably going to be the most underrated based on the comments not that its great or anything. But nowhere near as bad as the stuff im hearing. |

| Oh wow it is Tsukuyomi Moonphase all over again. Oh well maybe they fix it with the BD-Release |
