Err... I'm not saying that I already saw it, but I've seen people open post for the next chapter even if it havent been aired, I thought it wasnt wrong so I did it too.
Also, I mention that I'm exited about the next chapter, not that I saw it and was awesome. D:

You made me hope for a second that EP 14 was already out XD
There is quite the amount of expectation around it, I hope they will handle it well.
It has the potential for being absolutely awesome.

It should take 5 minutes, tops. Any more and it'll be excessive and unnecessary. Leave more room for the other important scenes that'll need to be covered this episode.

Best way to not be disappointed by DEEN; don't read the SN until after you watch the anime. No disappointments. Well, other than the fact that you read the novel so late.

Learned my lesson with Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime.

Not just DEEN, any studio. Or more accurately, not just anime, any adaption.
And Tsukihime is not by DEEN.

Who cares about the stupid magic fight. I'm mad that the adults still hardly got any screentime. We didn't get to see Natsuhi blush :(

And I wonder why they took out the part with Rosa giving Eva the hint.

The meta-world scene was awesome though. And I think I like Virgilia more now

It was a nice episode; mith battle was short but likable, however it totally missed the main point of the scene: the parallel between the chessboard magic battle and meta world scene where Virgilia meets Battler that is growing more and more "WTF is that!" when the chessboard scene becomes excessive and over the top.



Plus i really wanted to see Beatrice's Castling, overall the parallel between the magic battle and a chess match is totally lost in this transition XD

I'm just glad that they spent a good amount of time on Schrodinger's cat

Though like hirahira said they pretty much cut out the whole adults trying to solve the epitaph thing (though on the bright side, since they rushed here I'm not as worried about them rushing the ending)

Took it out to focus more on the meta battle. Good decision. I just wish they used better music for it. The lack of Dread continues to depress me.

I was a bit surprised at both the shortness of the battle and the omission of the discussion between the adults but I guess they wanted to save more time to cover the later parts of the arc.

a very nice episode.
good action part and amusing moments (like when the butler guy comments on beatrice's laugh) and most importantly, it gives confirmation to those who understood what was going on, and those who didnt understand the show so well (but still havent dropped it yet) should be able now to see some points, as beatrice starts making her inevitable mistakes.
anyway, im now leaving it to battller to lead us to the truth :-)

I'm sorry to say...this episode was a real disappointment for me! They reduced that awesome fight to a 1 min fight which was super disappointing! At least show some of Lia's other super cool moves..But noooo..Why am I not surprised..This is DEEN I'm talking about

The short myth battle didn't bother me as it allowed more time for the meta battle and epitaph discussion but unfortunately said discussion never made it in at all. I mean, they could have at least dropped some of the hints that Eva used to get to the solution, that would have helped the anime watchers more. Schrodinger's Cat explanation is good, and most certainly well needed. Also, the SN fooled me into misunderstanding the actual size of the gold, now that I think about it, my impression of 10 tonnes of gold has been pretty ridiculous up till now.

Actually the fight was 2 minutes, 5 if you count the dialogue at the end.

In the fan video, it's 4 minutes



About 2 minutes of the fight was lost. Not that bad. If you were seriously expecting like a 10 minute fight then you were crazy.

And I think the motion in the fan video is too slow, it should be faster. Then it'll be only just 3 minutes.

The magic fight in the novel version just felt like a parody of Fate/Stay Night anyway. I don't think it matters that a small amount of it was cut out.

Isn't that still a bit too much gold?
I calculated that the size of 10 tons of gold is only about 0,52m^3
Or did I make a mistake?
Edit: I guess the amount of gold is correct after all.

The battle of the witches was disappointing, as predicted.

The grand battle of wits between Beatrice and Battler continues and A LOT of new information are disclosed resulting in loads of developments. Scenaristically speaking, it was absolutely great, and I was in awe at the last scene with Eva, solving the epitaph was so easy that I really want to know what happens to her next.

However, I must complain at the opening magic fight, which was uninteresting and ruined the mood for a moment, thanks God it was (relatively) quick.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

EDIT: Good Stuff. Some of the animation was a bit poo, but coming from someone who has not seen the VN, I think this is going well.

Although like others said, the battle at the start could have been better.

So they left out the discussion about the epitaph and Rosa giving a hint to Eva?
Not only that, but the fight between virgilia and beatrice was really crappy.
Now, I wouldn't care if it was crappy if they showed the discussion, but they didn't.
Good job DEEN.

Nice to see someone solve the riddle, although I'm wondering what the catch is as that seemed far too easy. I also really expected more out of the teacher of an Endless Witch. To be fooled so easily is kind of lame. Also nice to see Battler finally get Beatrice on the ropes.

Being an anime only watcher (except for the couple scenes on youtube I saw of the vn after they showed the part in the anime just out of curiousity) I'm quite satisfied with this episode. I don't think that the animation is bad either, but then again, I have no problem with watching anime from the mid 90's when animation was no where near what it is today. It was nice to see Beatrice almost make a big enough blunder that she had to be stopped. And though this is kind of late, I really like the opening and closing. I kept on going to the opening and closing and listened to them a few times. ^^
