CrimsonLight said: That ugly nun isn't likeable and she's over fuckin' powered. I hope she dies soon. This. Plus I'm strongly rooting for Tomogara as they're cooler and more interesting than fucking Flame Haze invaders now. This war is just badly depicted, I hope the series will focus more on what it does best (romance with mild fantasy action) because strategy and big-scale battles are clearly not its forte. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| This episode had great action.... but they killed off Decarabia! OMG what a waste of the most awesome Tomogara created thus far :( |
hazrauken said: That pretty much sums up my thoughts as well, the enemies especially the strong ones are just going down like flies whereas it doesn't look like any of the more experienced flame haze are ever going to be killed >:( I started rooting against the flame haze in this war a few episodes back and I think it's gonna continue for a long time >.<things are getting from silly to rediculous. i gave it 2/5 for a few reasons: I cant sympathise with flame hazes, even shana at the moment as they seem like heartless killers while bal masque has personalities Imbalence of power in action, for example, lets see how many named flame hazes have died this series so far, 0. how many named bal masque, 3-4. they try to cover up the imbalence that has been scripted into this by having bal masque win fights against strong flame hazes: for example lion dude, or how fecor was killed when he was protecting things by a random apperition who wanted only to get to its master not ruin the whole thing. remember lion dude WON the fight and decided to look into space insted of kill her for long enough for her to kill him. it was PATHETIC. decarbia, gonna kill some unimportant people, fine. gonnna fight a named charicter when he is VERY STRONG, boom. nun flies out and kills him in 5 seconds. Extreme dialog: apart from shana saying "im going to find yuji and beat him" and margery waking up and getting together with that guy.. what was achived in the first 11 minutes. they spent 11 mins doing dialoge and 5 seconds killing of the general of bal masuqe have i started yet on how in all the action except from when decarbia was present the WHOLE OF THE DEFENSIVE FORCES couldnt kill 1 PERSON. Which is why i dont see why they are worried now the main army has come because there is 1 named char and therefore 1 person who they might have to consider fighting. I cannot wait until sabrac has a decent fight scene, unless he is killed in 5 seconds or decided to bash one off or somthing until he dies. |

| Always these cliffhangers at the ending makes you wanna see the next one so badly! |
| I'm surprised people are a bit shocked/disapointed with all of the one-sided fights, villians getting one-shot and generally bland combat. SnS has always run with the idea of "lots of action, but we never actually show you the action". Loads of fighting, but it's typically dominated by plenty of talking and taunting and flashy attacks that look cool but generally achieve nothing. Except for the occasional fight (and these are done well, I admit!) there is barely ever any actual combat scenes in this series, just people throwing attacks at each other in disjointed sequences one after another until they see fit to finally have some super powerful attack finish off one party at last. But that's just how SnS is; lots of action in exchange for the action sequences being pretty simple. Hopefully the rest of this season will have a good chunk of action to make up for the large amount of setup and exposition in the first 8 or so episodes (to balance it out, per say), or maybe they'll suddenly pull something like Fate/Zero quality fighting animation out of nowhere and I'll be pleasantly surprised. I gave up on watching SnS for well-produced fight sequences, or kills that aren't one-shots, long ago. Now it's just out of attachment to many of the characters, genuine curiosity where the plot is going, and to find out what happens with all of the various romances. On that last note, this season was worth it alone for that scene with Margery and Satou. That was some pretty darn good dialogue, and it was certainly a fitting climax to the hints of romance that has been swirling around those two since season one. Glad they saw it through to this. |
| Decarabia was my favorite character... |
| OMG that was a great episode and it is only getting better. |
| This was a pretty good episode, starting to clear up doubts I had. |
| Margery should really adapt her bed look in the day too. Damn, Keisaku you lucky bastard. Oh! yeah there were also some wars and staff but whatever, lol. |

I hope she dies soon. 100% with you on that i dont get u guys. i personally think shes pretty badass not sure about the hype over Decarabia, i honestly see no interesting qualities in this guy Thank you. I thought Sophie was pretty cool, and kicked butt...Also loved the scene between Keisaku x Margery. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
dancingpenguin said: Yeah I'm wondering about this as well. If Keisaku is in fact a little older, then I'm totally fine with the Keisaku x Margery scene...otherwise it's a little weird.isn't Keisaku 15 or 16...? I hope Yuuji and Shana's romance is fully realized, since other characters get to have so much development. |
| I liked the Keisaku/Margery scene a lot. |
| They want to make a collosal war, too much different from the previous two seasons, and needed many cannon fodders from both side. chrono564 said: More or less, isn't that's what Flame Haze are. Exception by character design would be Alastor's last two Flame Haze, but all other Flame Haze are contracted based on their grudge against Tomogara and their purpose is to kill those invading bastards.what are these guys ? Mindless killing machines..seriously It made them easier to drive to their king's purpose which is stopping as many tomogara as possible to stop their own world from getting pulled down together if human world falls because of the existence power's resource over-exploitation. |
| I'm a bit sad that Decarabia was defeated that quickly, even if it was one of the more powerful Flame Hazes (at least I assume she is one of the more powerful ones). Glad Sabrac is going to be in the next episode, he sure was a pain in the ass to "defeat" last time. Looks like next episode is going to be interesting... |

| come on Bal Masque!! i'm rooting for you guys.... and yeah, Damn you Keisaku! |
 |
| Mega Eel vs Super Nun! Power of Christ compel! |
| I didn't expect what happened between Margery and Keisaku wow. She looks better with her hair down like that too tbh. Well in other news, it looks like she'll be joining the fight soon and I am looking forward to that. Sophie is one strong ass mother fucker, she wiped the floor clean with Decarabia in one shot. He sacrificed his life for the reinforcements and now the flame hazes looks like they're screwed. Wonder how they're going to get out of that. Shana got a huge power upgrade after what happened last episode, wow she's even got an all seeing eye. Can't wait to see her meeting with Yuji now. |
 |
| Yay! Margery and Satou are finally together! I was waiting for that to happen for so long now! I really hope the next episode's fight will be better than what we have seen so far. That Decrabia died so soon really pisses me off :/ Sophie seems strange, I don't like her either. |
| I can't believe he actually nailed her. Also Decarabia dead? I wanted him to put up a great fight. :( |
 |
| I'm really rooting for Bal Masqe now...the Flame Hazes are just getting more and more unlikable, even Shana, I'm hoping Yuji owns every one of them now, especially Sophie. |
| Margery + hair down + loosing glasses = BiG Bang |
| My beautifull Nightingale, Margery Daw, slept with Keisaku-san ! Awesome. I agree with the CrimsonLight, this ugly Nun isn't likeable at all. Concerning Sabrac, I hope he will change side because I don't wan't a character as awesome as he is to die. |
| Forever Berserk |
| Dang. Satou hooked up with Margery finally. She was really cute in that scene too =3= |
 |
| nooooooo Decarabiaaaaaa :( |
| Too bad that Tenmoku Ikko was only there for a short time, he is for sure really bad ass. PS: Adios Decarabia, you were a proud and worthy opponent. |
| Forever Berserk |
| Not sure why you guys liked the Eel so much. He was pretty much aloof to Sydonay the whole time and speaking in some mystery void. I agree that Bal Masque are more interesting this time round, but Bal Masque, NOT the random Tomogara. Guys like Fecor, Trinity, Sabrac and the Professor. Flame Haze has its own interesting group too, but they seem to be either inside the Divine Gate right now or in Margery's group. Shana seems to have gotten a anime/manga character rewrite. I agree that there needs to be more development with the generals especially the Flame Haze side which seems quite immortal so far. But that should change once Bal Masque team returns from the gate with Yuuji. |
 |
| Maybe if the eel is voiced by Wakamoto... *random idea* Well, he's unique in his own way. That habit of hiding in void made him stand out against random general just introduced in season 3. That, and how he's entrusted with the command of defending the base when everyone's out gave him impression of quick acting and responsible character. For this time, Bal Masque is shown to be weaker and opressed against the Flame Haze during this battle. Maybe that's the reason. Usually human is rooting for the weaker/victim and underdog side. Would be different if the war got one sided the other way around despite of characterization. |
| Lol. Margery was awake. I didn't expect it too turn out like this for her and Satou though after all this time. Those office guys at the battlefield are looking really funny. I'm glad at least the good old Shana is back, because it's a show about her and not about the generals of the army of flame haze. This season give off a completely different vibe than the previous one, there's almost none Margery, Satou, Tanaka and of course Yoshida. Also there's almost nothing in the happening in the city, even though all previous seasons were only about the city. But I think the city will come back if I look at the preview. |
| Wait .. when did Satou got interested in Margery?! but whatever ... it was a good episode. |
hgeronimo said: Seriously, did you pay any attention at all in the previous two seasons? Satou always gets deredere with Margery and if you look at his actions and way of doing things it was really clear that he liked her or was interested in her more than usual.Wait .. when did Satou got interested in Margery?! but whatever ... it was a good episode. It's rather Margery liking Satou that way that was the surprising fact. |
Shanablaze said: amirhoss said: Margery + hair down + loosing glasses = Sexy Fixed* which leads to a big bang :P |
| And so another big name member of Bal Masque bites the dust. With the exception of that one member from the Shanghai branch, no major Flame Haze has fallen in battle so far. Not a good omen for Bal Masque and unbelievably lucky for the Flame Haze. I have a feeling that when one major Flame Haze falls, others are quickly going to follow, however. I'm not surprised at Decarabia's quick death to Sophie, because she was the leader (presumably one of the strongest) of the Flame Haze army, while he/it was a ranking enemy officer with a comparatively lower rank. Not to mention it was a surprise attack. Love has finally ripened for Keisaku and Margery, huh. She has become his reason for living, and he will now become her new raison d'être as well. It was going to happen sooner or later, but I was still a bit surprised. Just as they say in other shows, Keisaku also "climbed the stairway to adulthood" in the process. Margery and Keisaku going that far was a bit unexpected, but a nice development for the two of them, I guess. More couples in shows containing romance is good. Naturally, this also opens the way for potentially similar development with the other couples. |
| Do anyone noticed FMA easter egg on 11:25-11:27? |
| Margery and Keisaku unexpected? It's been going on for two freaking seasons. But quite nice that they got it going, hoho. Margery, so raburi. Oh yeah, that granny kick from Sophia. Also: anyone else noticed that the Triad walks sooooo slowly to their goal? I mean, it's better to be quick and make it in time to return. Such fools. Or it was just their plan. |

| Putting aside the fact that Margery is so much older than Satou, the pairing is terrible. It almost completely came out of the blue and there was no prior romance or feelings or anything. Just looked like a school kid sleeping with an oldish woman to make her feel better. Urgh. The nun hag is annoying. Why does she get magical sky diving hax? She killed the awesome Eel guy like it was nothing. Most of their strategies are making little to no sense and there is still a ton of pointless dialogue everywhere. The Flame Hazes are overpowered and have been killing all the poor Tomogara since the fights started. The outcomes of all the battles are so obvious. I've grown more attached to all of the Tomogora than I did to the Flame Hazes. Shana's random new powers aren't explained at all. Neither are most of the powers in the show. I miss the first season where they didn't introduce a new type of spell (or whatever their abilities are) every 10 seconds. That's my rant. |
 |
| Keisaku got my respect. I mean, what are the chances you'll bone a hot and powerful Flame Haze? |
 |
| Am i the only one that hates Keisaku? |
| I thought the bed scene came out of nowhere too. What a lucky dude. Margery is hundreds of years old though... slightly disturbing. |
