| Shana has made her resolve, can't wait to see how she wants to change and what will happen next time she sees Yuji. War has begun and its making this even more exciting to watch. Loved the last two minutes or so when they invade the Seirei-den. It was a pretty epic scene. |
 |
| Some people are comlaining about bad writing instead of complaining about their bad comprehension level. They stressed VERY THROUGHLY that Seirei-den is untraceable. You can't find it, period. No Flame Haze has entered it and the whole purpose of the Worldwide war on the Flame Haze is to keep them running so they can't search for it. Of course, it seems the top Flame Haze had secretly found a way of finding Seirei-den before the war even began (probably has to do with Flame of Heaven's old floating base) so they pretended to have been fighting a frantic battle while they secretly invaded Seirei-den. So, it's not bad writing or stupidity from the antagonists. It's just a little too much confidence on their protection and a bit of prior preparation from the Flame Haze forces (they seem to have been preparing for this for a long time). |

razor39999 said: I hope you do realize that this was NEVER a high school romance. The light Novels are action light novels. It's an action story with some high school romance, not the other way around.The shounen-y power-up fights between Flame Haze and Tomogara were always the weak point of this anime. It's flashy and fun to watch, but it basically just pulls down what could've been a decent high school romance story. This season had no slice of life episodes which were, imo, the lifeblood of the whole show in seasons 1 and 2. I'll never forget the moment from season 1 where Shana shoved a melon bread in Yuji's face after Yoshida gave him her first bento. That was precious! Or Ike's entertainment park trip that turned into a planning disaster. :D All this "epic" reviving gods, fighting BS is just in the way. |

razor39999 said: That was toned down because she was never so tsundere in the novels. JC just upped her tsundere ratio to astronomical values. Shana was meant to be a more detached girl that slowly developed feelings for Yuuji while Yuuji wasn't supposed to be the ass who never gets it, he was supposed to be captivated by Shana from the moment he saw, with the love triangle being more tame and not the whole focus of the plot. If they'd shown things they took out (like Yuuji's conversations with the King of Guze he partnered with) we'd perhaps wouldn't be so lost now.Ye I realize that, and it may work in the novels, but the anime turns into shit whenever they switch focus to fighting. Which is a shame, since the slice of life parts could've been a fairly decent story in itself. I'm mainly watching it cause I love tsundere, and Shana is a good example, tho even that part of her is toned down in this season compared to the first two. |

Meddigo said: So let me get this straight. Snake of the Festival gives the single command to protect Seireiden while he's gone. The very next fucking scene is 99% of the tomogara attacking random places on Earth leaving Seireiden relatively defenseless. lolwut? Can the writing for this get any worse? Well, I'm sure it can. They're taking the initiative in the war to pin down the Flame Haze. Ever heard of "offense is the best defense"? They're not attacking just random places, they're basically attacking the Flame Haze bases to divert and weaken most of their enemies while their Commander goes to retrieve his body. I'm sure having just 2-4 Flame Haze attack Seireiden is a much better option than have all of them attack it at once. Sure, the number of Seireiden's defenders are very small right now, but that also goes for the number of Flame Haze available to attack it at the moment. Both sides are currently fighting a two-front war, so shifting forces for special missions isn't going to be that easy, especially if you're on the general defensive like the Flame Haze are now. |
| War is finally here, shit's going down |

| Damn so many freaken Rinn, tomagara and new flame hazes. This is going to be one epic war. First time i have ever seen so many characters fighting at once, its mostly just single battles between two apponents, now its like an all out world wide war between both sides of good and evil. Deffinitly very different then the first two seasons. I can see how this change might upset some people. Either way i have confidence in shana, that she will escape her captivity soon and turn things around. Sophie seems to be the like the lead commanding force of all the flame haze, so i imagine she is pretty damn strong, can't wait to see her in action. Meanwhile Rebecca and Khamsin's plot to destroy the Serei den. I have to say i havn't sen Khamsin in action for a while, its nice to see him kicking some ass, his flame haze abilities are pretty awesome. I don't understand why the main trinity members of the tomagara would leave them selfs wide open though by all following thier commander through the god gate and on that road. I know they need the preistess at least to light the way, but surely they could of planned better then this like leave sabrac behind or some one else to take leadership of the war. Instead they lost all of thier strongest forces and that was the moment the flame haze has an opening and decided to counterattack. Also forgot to mention Wilhelmina reviving the old home. Things are definitively getting chaotic. Onto next episode. this is the kind of series i can easily marothon. |

| So why must a god follow his own priestress, who in turn is following the signs her god laid out some time ago? That was a bit weird. It does make sense if you take out the part where the god is walking right behind his priestress, but like this..nope. And i understand Hecate going in there, with the priestress stuff, even though it doesn't make sense in this exact situation, but the rest? The whole trinity, the scientist and Sabrac? With the exception of Fecor thats every Tomoroga we knew of before they started the war preperations. Isn't that a bit excessive? |
| Now that they're in the Serei Den this is awesome! Just wait for Wilhelmina to turn up and unleash hell :) |

| Decarabia is the fish-man. Also dat ending... Rebecca and Behemoth were just too much fun too watch... NwAurion said: Only my guess, but the body is probably really-bondage-bound at the end of the road, so they'll probably need all the help they can gather to unbound it all.

With the exception of Fecor thats every Tomoroga we knew of before they started the war preperations. Isn't that a bit excessive? It's a third of a season, and all is well. |

| Rebecca sure gets wet often LOL |
| Little Shana was so Cute :D hmmm that golem kid sure is strong, and next episode is going to be awesome and alot of action. |
| Actually want Tomogara side to win for some reason, the flame haze seem like the villains with that old commander lady. Always think she's plotting something evil when she puts on her smile. |

| That ending just made me go ''FUCK YEAH''. Khamsin power is just too awesome. Punching in the air, destroying an whole fucking city :P But where is Wilhermina? She's probably trying to find and liberate Shana. The whole Outlaw QG are getting fucked over. All over the world, they couldn't be in a more shitty situation. But in the end, even if they get the Seireiden, they still won't be able to stop the Snake of Festival to get his true body. Well, that's what I believe. It was fucking hilarious when Rebecca looked back, saw that Khamsin was farther and the water falled right on her xD In the preview, we see the myste that Shana fighted in the past, but I thought she killed him. Did someone pursued his legacy? Also, I really wonder what is that defense system Decarabia is talking about, I guess it won't be that easy for Khamsin and Rebecca... |

| Wow, this episode was zzz but then that ending!!! Loved it!! This is getting exciting |
| Where art thou, Wilhelmina? |
| Everywhere the battles are on fire. And Khamsin and Rebecca to the rescue, hyped for the next episode. |

| Hmpf. Really, who had the idea that watching whole episode of people we don't care about at all and adding several deus ex machinas to the pot would be enjoyable to watch? And what's with this lame break-in, why the bad guys always have to be so incompetent. They destroyed a lot of their city without any resistance. |

| The main objective of Tomogara is protecting the Seirei Den when the leaders aren't around right? So why are they attacking Outlaw bases? Of course flame hazes attacked Seirei Den as expected. It was supposed to be hidden though. So I suspect they found out its location somehow. Khamsin is really op. Even back in the first season he looked like he was a force to be reckoned with. |

Chrome_Falcon said: They've been attacking Outlaw bases since season 2 The main objective of Tomogara is protecting the Seirei Den when the leaders aren't around right? So why are they attacking Outlaw bases? They have a small army protecting the actual Seirei Den but the main idea of attacking the Outlaw bases is to make sure the Flame Hazes lose key geographical locations so to add pressure and making them unable to conduct an assault on Seirei Den because the lost ground |

| WAAAH KHAMSIN IS HELLA FREAKIN SUGOIIII!!! Anyhoo, I have a theory about what's happening. (I haven't read the LN tho) Yuji and the trinity leaving the Palace of the stars, the forces attacking places in the world and leaving the Palace of the stars MAY EITHER BE planned already by the Snake of the Festival a long long time ago when he was banished (since it was discussed that the SOTF has been really strategizing he's grand order way way way back. Also let's take into consideration some minor changes of the plan when he united with Yuji) to lure out flame hazes to the palace of the stars which may also may be an indirect move that the SOTF is expecting. Since he's the God of creation, a lot of possibilities and consequences may have been already considered. OR they were hella sure the flame hazes will never be traced nor tracked? Then they did underestimate the real potential of a flame haze OR just leaving the palace of the stars just like that is a lack of thrill by the authors???. I dont think so. I just wished they included a detailed explanation of what's the real deal. (or maybe everything is in the LN haha) |

MxS7HGS said: This is just Ball Masque being complacent as usual. They never learn from their mistakes. Unless of course, this is a trap. That'd be interesting if it is. This isn't even Bal Masque being complacent. It was shown previously that there's a spell that keeps Seireiden completely undetectable by anyone outside. It's directly stated that nobody has ever found Seireiden ever since its creation (except Bal Masque, of course, since they use it). That means Flame Hazes cannot sense it. Then, you have Bal Masque intentionally taking the fight to the Flame Hazes all across the world to keep them busy and force them to spread their numbers thin. That way, the Flame Haze army has very limited ressources available to search for Seireiden and is forced to fight Tomogara around the world. The only other way to access Seireiden is by using Tendokyu, the other floating island that we learned about in Season 1. The two islands have a hidden passage linking them, but Bal Masque doesn't know about it. Only Wilhelmina knows about it, which is why she's in charge of infiltrating Seireiden and why Sophie gave her Khamsin and Rebecca as support. Finally, the reason Wilhelmina, Khamsin and Rebecca succeeded in infiltrating Seireiden is because, when Yuji/Snake created the God Gate in the last episode, it created a dimensional rift that was felt worldwide. Wilhelmina felt it, too, and had a vague idea of where Seireiden was. Since she was in possession of Tendokyu, the other way to get into Seireiden, she led it to where she felt the rift from (this point is explained more in-depth next episode). Tl;dr: Everything has been put in place meticulously on both sides, and everything regarding the war makes sense so far. |
