NOOOO dammit Noloty ;A; She was my last really favorite character. Though we don't know exactly what happened, that's for next episode...

This war thing...man, what a twist. It's really building up to some dramatic stuff now.

Darn it! Why did she have to die? I was pretty ok with Volken dying and all. But why her!? She was so sweet... Ok she was kinda selfish, but her sweetness made up for all that.

Hope Enrique does something awesome next ep and Hamutz should at least get one more awesome fight! Pretty

Well now we finally know that by the time this story ends there won't be anyone else alive.
I had a thought. What if the former acting director was the governor of paradise?
We newer found out what happened to him and maybe this could explain it. Anyway we will finally find out next weak and I hope Enrique kills him then.

Well, death is really no surprise in this series. It's almost taking a Basilisk like approach - here are your main characters, now watch them all die. I'm not really expecting many survivors by the end - maybe Mirepoc. I'd say she's the most likely to live out of the remaining characters.

I just hope the story/plot ends up being satisfying, and not some huge let down after being so mysterious/confusing this whole time.

I'm starting to get both excited and pretty affraid here.
This episode was great and I'm so happy they take at least 2 episodes to finish volume 6...but it doesn't even look like it will end next episode.
After what I know about the novel so far (curse those spoilerific blurbs on the books)


Anyway, I'm just praying for an additional 13 episodes because I don't want to see the final 4 volumes pressed into 4 or 5 episodes.

The affect of the "dancing puppet(from the last episode)" really amazing.The Niku really got into revolting state.
I forgotten what Lascal said, Noloty first die??I tought Milpoc die first,then Noloty ....I think i mistaken ...When i look back to episode 15,Actually lastly who die is Mirepoc and Matt....(it seem my memory ain't reliable at all ^^)
The Church gain the upper hand ^^ Hope this time Hami will die .....

This was a great episode and I can't wait to see the next coming episodes because of the plot twist at the end. I'm eager to see what Enlike is going to do.

@RinM, I never thought about that. It would be interesting he was though.

by the way:I love how everyone just like gives up on the show when Noloty dies.(this should get rid of the rest of the faggots in the audience at least)

Noloty's dead and the world has declared war on Bantorra. They just brought in twists like that so casually. . .I like that the writing is creative, but I wish they'd answer previous questions before going off on different tangents. It's again looking like they may not be able to pull off a smooth conclusion.

Lascall dos still sounds like a boy. And called Noloty '-sama,' wat. Noloty drinking that whole thing of disease was badass, as was basically everything else she did this ep.

As the saying goes, "Only the good die young, all the evil seem to live forever". Still, after Volken, Noloty, Mirepoc and most probably Matt, I wonder what Hamyuts will do with only secondary characters alive in some episodes.

Well, at least I wanted to watch some different this season and I guess I can't really go wrong with Bantorra, it's definitely an unusual - and great - piece of anime.

Seriously? You guys liked Noloty? I don't care about this "sweet" bullshit, she was annoying and naive. She's dead, who cares. Everybody is dying.

I will place a bet on who will die next: that guy that sees auras, maybe? Or the anime-only characters? I hope it's not Enlike, I want him to stick around a bit longer.

Anyway, I'm just watching this now to get a +1 completed series. Only 6 more eps and this shit is over.

Contrived. Yay, a country we never knew about now wages war on the library without any sense of development on that front. I especially love that Noloty's death is done this way: totally random, and at the beginning of the episode. This show just doesn't know how to make characters feel like anything more than empty vessels: except for maybe Hamyuts (and maybe Matt).

People keep talking about the show killing off good protagonists. Correction: the show is killing of stereotypical would-be-protagonists. It seems to me like some people don't know what the function of a protagonist is, otherwise, they'd already know that the person most befitting of that title is Hamyuts. As I've said before, the only interesting thing this show does is how it treats her. Unfortunately, it's executed terribly with superficial pawns rounding out the rest of the cast, but that's how it is nonetheless. Hamyuts is the one person driving the story. She's the person the meats want to kill. She's the person who goaded Volken. She's the one who assigned Noloty to Enlike's case. She's the one who stopped the crazy ant librarian. She's the one who knows everything.

How people overlook easily one of the most radical female leads in anime for idiots like Volken, Noloty, or Colio (all apart of the same brainless, cookie-cutter, trope category), and even fault her is far beyond me.

I'm glad they killed Noloty off. She gets on my nerves on how aggravatingly naive and dumb she is. "ooooh I can't kill you even though you're the most evil human being in the world and will probably kill millions"

We all know now at the end of episode 22 why the reason the Ismo Republic attacked on Bantorra, stop jumping on to conlusions beforehand. This isn't like any stupid anime shows for dumb preteen kids where the stroryline gets shoved into your throat even before the episode is half way.

Yeah, I thought about it too, but he seems a lot older than Photona/Fotona/whatever. And why would they call him Kachua instead of Photona?

I completely agree. She annoyed me x__X But I'm still kinda sad because I was hoping for Enrique/Enlike (seriously, what's up with the names here? xD) to end up with her. They were cute together. And now he's gonna be even more emo.

But if Matt dies, then I'm gonna flip. Stop killing everyone already o.o Killing Mokkania and depriving me of Ishida's voice after...what, two episodes? was just cruel. Then they killed Volken and outed Nakamura Yuichi. What else? Mirepoch dies and Sawashiro goes off the list?

...okay, I just realised I care more for the seiyuu than I do for the characters. SAAAD. -goes to watch ep 21, hoping that they keep Matt alive-

Coz aside from Hamyuts, Noloty was one of my faves.
I was fine with Volken dying...I had foreseen he would...but Noloty? Why? ;A;
Well...as long as they don't kill off Hamy or Matt or Enlike, then I guess we're good...
But what am I saying? That could be impossible...
Well, I'm gonna watch and finish this so I can find out. /crosses fingers

I remember your comment from the last episode. -pats back- There there.

It's just going downhill... What happened?? I don't mind that they killed off my favorite character of the show, but...

I think the animation changed a bit... the fight between Enlike and Noloty was weird. Noloty lacked awesomeness this episode too for whatever reason.
