The action here is actually not bad, I wonder what Volken is doing because we don't see him a lot now. That maid is quite a strong one not to mention her ability is pretty useful^^ Poor Feekiee, no one wants to die after just showing up >.<

" Show up and Imma show you anything you want" ~Hamyuts

Dammit, that old geezer is gay or something. If it were me, Imma immediately show up while being 100% uncensored and ask her to show me the same thing as I do.

I'm starting to wonder if anyone is going to be alive at the end of the series...

I want there to be an overarcing story. If there is one, I'm totally missing it. I like episodic stuff, but this... I don't know.

I still love Matt. It's awesomesauce every time that man opens his mouth

This series has so many inconsistency's it's not even funny. Last episode Enrique left the island to go find himself yet for some reason he's back?

Two episodes ago people where appearing in places they should not have been in. For example Mince gets his ass handed to him by Enrique and Norotei runs after Enrique to fight. Then when she finds him on a cliff by the sea Mince is somehow there before her and yet again got his ass handed to him.

They never explained what happened to Volken, which I'm assuming will play a bigger role in the series later on.

What happened to Colio Tonies and his love connection with Shiron Byacornise that crossed the boundaries of time? The way it was going it felt like his character would play a bigger role. They just seemed to end it after he gets a piece of metal in his chest :/.

As cool as the characters are...I just cant see past these little things that keep popping.

Strange guy is strange, eh?
And strange chesspiece-holding-guy is also strange.

Lol at hypnotized guys xD

Wat. Mom? O.o
Something's gone to his head.

That maid is one hell of a woman too O.O
And lol at Feekiee's power xD
Although he got quite a quick end x)

Episode needed more Noloty.

But they never showed him leaving the island. He was heading to the port but Noloty stopped him o.O The last scene was them staring at eachother. And from this episode we know that he went back to Bantorra.

Actually, that was a good episode xD I enjoyed my Ishida Akira (pff, I always do), Feekee has a cool power (I want eeet D:), too bad he died...and Mokkania is an awesome character. Powerful as hell and crazier even than that. Oh, and a manchild.
I seriously like this dude xD
And whoal at Ireia's crazy ability to stop time o.o
Also, I wonder whose book Mokkania treasures that much. Probably his mother's or something...

I liked this episode quite a bit. The inconsistency of the show is kind of lame (I really wasn't feeling it after Colio's arc--- I miss him) but maybe this is the start of it getting better!

Seconding the Matt love. He is so awesome that it hurts.

Still wondering about Volken, of course.

People jump to conclusion so often that it is not even funny.

He intended to leave but then Noloty appeared, said something and the episode ended. It was freaking obvious back then that she stopped him from leaving.

I don't know for Colio, but it seems that Shiron still has a role to play (judging by the OP).

prediction: Hammy is with the church. notice in last episode she greets the transparent-headed old guy with 'happiness' or something like that, and he's shown to be the leader of the church, and now she's completely fine with oil dude taking a book the Bantorians confiscated from the church...

I don't think she's evil, but there is certainly much to her than meets the eye. and what's with all the librarians being so strong? at first I thought it was a magic ability-judging from noloty who is only strong, but seeing the old lady stop time(magic) and jump around etc(strength) I guess noloty's only an apprentice so she doesn't get a magic yet.

so all librarians are powerful+have magic? makes sense to an extent, given hammy has spy threads And throws stones like bullets, now I'm wondering if I'm the only one who figured it out so late, meh, this show expects us to actually think, go figure eh? but how do they get that strength? training alone?

it's sort of boring at times but it's so Different form everything else, I'm beginning to like it.

People making pointless comments like yours are even funnier :). This show does have inconsistency's. Watch where people are in each episode and then watch where they end up later on. It makes absolutely no sense sometimes.

It actually wasn't obvious since they just stood there at the end. There was a 50/50 chance that he could have left. In fact it would have made more sense if he left since he had already mentioned he didnt want to be an armed librarian. He even said he was leaving too. Noloty asks him to protect the world with her, she never says "stay with me".

Noloty already stated in an earlier episode her desire for him to join the armed librarians. While he might not be willing to go that far, he feels obligated to her. He "owes" her, and was staying there because of that in the first place. He knows what she wants, and while he doesn't want to go so far as become an armed librarian, I think it has been pretty clear that he'll do what he feels he can in regards to Noloty's wishes.

I haven't been bothered by inconsistencies, perhaps they could do a better job of showing the passage of time or how people get from one place to another, but to me those are small things. I know enough about the characters to keep me interested in finding out more about them. I want to know why Mistress Meseta seems to have a deathwish.

lol this show, crazier every week. Introduce a character to kill them off straightaway, okay. He could have just gone into the floor to avoid the ants, but whatev, that would actually be smart.

So now that oldlady is "frozen in time", how does she unfreeze? And it's such a bullshit cop-out that she can't be hurt when she's frozen. She's basically invincible to all attacks, then. (Well, this would be a good power to have if she could unfreeze herself, but I don't see how that's possible logically. OH WAIT, THIS IS BANTORRA, I ALMOST FORGOT. *waits to see the stupid reason behind why she can unfreeze herself in next episode*)

Why do they want to kill her, then? Either way I don't care, I wish she would die already.

I don't think she needs to "unfreeze" it herself. Like what happened to Mokkania, when a certain time passes on real world, the effect of her "freeze" will also fades away == thus the old granny will be auto-unfreeze after that.

The time manipulation is cool, from the OP I thought she'd just have the super strength. She and Hamyuts displayed amazing badass, and Mokkania just keeps getting more interesting.

Can't say I get all the Matt love. He has a cool hat, is highly competent and hasn't done anything gimmicky or annoying, but he also hasn't gotten a shred of development. Then again, I also don't get why people continue watching this when they think it sucks. The creators may not be able to pull everything together later on, but the varied focus makes it interesting.

It is a timeskip... not well executed tough.

In fact it would have made more sense if he left since he had already mentioned he didnt want to be an armed librarian. He even said he was leaving too. Noloty asks him to protect the world with her, she never says "stay with me".


Looking at the way the scene was presented, there is no way he would have left. If they intended to make him leave, the scene would have ended differently.
And Noloty saying that DOES mean "Stay with me". If she was intending to leave, we would have gotten few farewell scenes or some betrayal hints before.

And I'm surprised with this anime. It's not afraid to kill off characters.


No need to be afraid. There are always books ;)

So now that oldlady is "frozen in time", how does she unfreeze?


It is temporal time freeze. In other words: she will unfreeze after some time, just like the villain does.

Most inconsistencies some of you point out are scenes they didn't understand, it's not really up to the series but to you to actually analyze them correctly.

Anyways, it was some serious action-packed episode with a very good direction and the usual well-depicted dark atmosphere. Despite a fluctuating animation quality, Bantorra is still among the very good shows of this season.

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

huh, that episode was very good. i'm impressed about looking a little bit old Ireia (hahahahah Kitty XDD""" ) . good was also powers which allows you to swim into the mathery, what a pity that this power don't allowed him to swim across the ants.


it's interesting that Hamyuts just let the oil-guy take the book. huh

Mokkania seems to be a beast. Despite commanding a small army, it can truly be deadly up close.

Enrique obviously changed his mind to leave Bantorra due to Notoloy. That's all there is to it.

Ireia is really strong! Can move so quick despite her age.

Yes, Bantorra has no problem killing side characters easily. I mean episode 1, they just killed their friend out of the bloom.

Seems Hamy is now using Schlamuffen. Such a beast War Weapon.

We getting so many fights! Awesome!
