| It's been so long.. but it was just as good as I remember its prequels. Next week Index Louise^^..my poor, poor heart! |
| So far so good. My body is ready for anything this show throws at me, but I do think Saito is now Tiffa's familiar. Seems kinda obvious... |
 |
| Mildly entertaining episode, as usual with ZnT (well, season 3 wasn't even entertaining, it was bad). Evil Pope seems evil. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Decent start, although the Saitou - Louise quibbles are way past funny. And it's very hard to believe that Colbert and Tiffa didn't hear/notice a thing about the fight right above their heads :P endlessabyss said: I doubt it. Most of us are trying to ban that season from memory anyway :DDo/es one have to watch the third season before watching this one? But you can read the episode summaries on Wikipedia to be up-to-date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Familiar_of_Zero_episodes |

| I'm surprised they pulled the Julio = Windalfr out into episode one, despite spoiling it in OP: it's the kind of development you'd expect to happen a few episodes in rather than now. Overall happy with the 1st episode, I'd like to see a flashback about Julio becoming Windalfr sometime in the future. For those few novel readers: how faithfully adapted is this episode? What (if any) changes have been made to it? |
 |
| I'm amazed that it only took 15 minutes before I wanted to smack both Saito and Louise, but I'll let that go because it was resolved so quickly. I really enjoyed this episode. I hope that it keeps on track with this kind of plot/fanservice ratio instead of devolving back to the horror that was Princesses no Rondo. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |

I know exactly what you mean, I f**king hate Lousie and her tsundere behaviour and Saito really is the biggest brick head at times.... Still for some reason I find this show to be quite entertaining and keep following it^^ |
| great start and can't wait for the rest! and why does everyone hate princesses no rondo so much? It wasn't as good as the first two seasons but it was still great. |
 |
| Saito deserves such Loise's behavior cause he's f***ng womanizer ). But pure him: OP and ending of ep. 1 clearly hint that he would be familiar both for Loise and Tiffania |

Yumekichi11 said: Billzor said: I don't think so because the director is not the same one of season 2/3. So let's hope not. I still feel like season 1 here.It's great to see that this show is back and I'm hoping for some proper closure this time around. (God forbid it turns out to be like S3) It's the same director from Season 1 and that was my favorite season, so I have high hopes for this one. |
| pretty good way to start it's been far to long since ive seen this! got some good laughs in hope they dim down the fanservice a bit within the coming episodes,and next week louise turns into index next week ? lol. |
 |
| For Madoka's sake, they're married! Why does Loise have to get so flustered when somebody catches them kissing? If you take out the harem silliness, it was a good episode. We've already got some intrigue, a Good Guy who has Bad Guy written all over him, a theft that appears sinister, and a decent sword & sorcery brawl. If only Saito wasn't such an ass and Loise treated him less like a dog. sigh. |

Most of us are trying to ban that season from memory anyway :D There WAS a story struggling to get past all the stupidity in season three, but I found it painful to get through. cleo said: But you can read the episode summaries on Wikipedia to be up-to-date. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Familiar_of_Zero_episodes I agree - try that first. There WERE a few good parts, in particular the last three episodes are worth watching. |
|
| and it looks like we're jumping back into it pretty quick - the cast is all there and assembled, and Saito/Louise are still going at their silly arguments even in this first episode. the idea of Mamiko Tiffania getting her own familiar would be kind of cool, too. loved the early Charlotte cameo though. as a KDEG fan I definitely would not mind more Charlotte screentime. |
     |
| Tis was interesting. Been a while since I've Zero no Tsukaima'ed barely remember Tiffa LOL. Saito is also Tiffa's tsukaima, what's gonna happen? |

| I kinda wish they'd come up with some new material. Instead, they just used the same jealousy theme where they argue, and Louise tells Saito to get out and go become somebody else's familiar, only to make up like, what, 1 hour later? This same argument/theme has happened like 9000 times already throughout the seriies... it's getting kind of old. |
  |
| Tabitha was pretty cute there near the beginning of the episode. (But I guess it's really been too long since I watched the previous seasons of Zero no Tsukaima because I'd actually forgotten about her x_x ) And I see Saito is still a pervert as always. xD |

| Great to see this back...however, 12 eps does seem a little short... |
| Its nice to see Zero no Tsukaima back but if i am honest i would rather they would hurry up and translate the rest of the novels since they are alot better, oh well take what you can get i guess. Oh person saying Tabitha crush on saito is forced, yes it comes across as that in the anime sort of but in the novel they did a better job at it and comes across better. Though this just seems to be JC staff recently with them rushing their last seasons of anime and their anime original crap in previous seasons of anime is messing with the stories, now in the current seasons they are just going to chuck stuff at you from the novels that they never covered. JC staff are really not that great recently and this is a 12 or 13 ep season so im guessing a lame anime orginial ending that will be 100x worse than the novel ending. Also 6 shows this season? Jesus christ cut back and improve your damn animation, they always cheaped out with Zero no Tsukaimas art though, they should of updated it this season but no they did 6 damn shows at once. One thing i do like is seeing Louise back (Saito as well of course) and i always did love Rie voicing her, got to love that bwah of fwah she did at the end when Tiffa caught her kissing Saito. Then she went into screech mode right at the last line, that can break your ears if the volume is up to high but i like it lol. I love Rie screw the haters for her. The first part of the OP is really distracting with Tabitha's dragon crapping out glitter i dont like that looks retarded. |

| i was really hoping Louise would fucking grow up somewhat this season, but she is still a annoying childish bitch same goes for Taito. Although his perviness is a win. |
| 1st episode in and Saito and Louise are already arguing like a married couple...this is ZnT alright |
 |
| Gah! After so many years I was hoping for the last season to be at least 24 episodes. Unfortunately, it's a short one, but hopefully, a good one. As for this episode, kind of rushed and I couldn't get the feeling I had watching this so many years ago. I lost my attachments to the characters despite Louise (of course). Oh well, what was with the Index clothing for the preview? Don't tell me were going to have to see her again!?!? (-_-) ''Toaru Majutsu no Index II'' was a tragedy for anime in 2011. Anyway, looking forward to the next! |
| typical ZnT stuff, great <3. too bad its only gonna be 12 episodes. |

| only 12 ep seem a little short well not mutch we can do about it^^ |
 |
| So Saito didn't get the whipping this time, anyway good 1st episode :P |
| damn why only 12 episode should be 24 or 26 btw the start of this 4th season was good with quiet alot is happening The op and ed are ok and the animation ok... since J.C are doing 6 shows this winter lol |
| So many index-tan's next episode :3 |
Cratex said: For Madoka's sake, they're married! Why does Loise have to get so flustered when somebody catches them kissing? Until death do them part, right? ;-) Looks like a good start, and hope they finish this series off on a high note. I'm also kind of bummed that the episode count is as low as it is, but one can hope for the best. |
| I'm really hoping this doesn't epic fail like S3, PLEASE |
| I am very interested in the purple hair girl in the opening. :3c Other wise than that same shit as before. *yawns* |

Yumekichi11 said: Tru3Ph03niX said: I am thinking the summoning was never completed but about to. this would explain why nothing happened yet. I did think something might happen but nothing really came out. Good ep but i wanna know what happened. Did Saito interrupt Tiffanias Familiar summoning or did he get summoned himself and if he kisses her he becomes hers as well. I was afraid something may happen but nothing did. Next episode people need to get their bodies ready to see Louise in miko outfit. Not to mention Saito's raging hormones on her. Looks like more good comedy. About that.... as Tifa said... She saw him vanish. The fact that he fell into the gate means he left the world. He returned on Tifa's call. Magic can be interrupted... but the spell was clearly completed as the gate was there. Don't you just love magic? :D How to screw up any storyline: Add Magic. How magic works: It just does. Magic is the way to remove impossibility. It is a living, breathing deus ex machina! |

| Decent first episode but from what I've read it seems like they have a lot to cover in only 12 episodes so it makes me wonder if they will seriously be able to make it a good last season or make it drop like season 3. |
 |
| Ugh. This show should have just ended after delicious s2. So far this seems like it will make s3 look good, which leaves me disgruntled to say the least. We'll see how it goes. |
 |
| Good start of the first season, this is how I know ZnT. But srly... only 12 episodes for half the novels? D: |
| Great start to the fourth season, especially that kiss <3 |
| Good to have this anime back <3 |
| So... whats new? |
| As much as I like the Saito / Louise pairing I hope they don't have to settle every single argument that they have throughout the series with an interrupted kiss. |
| Awesome ep, but I hope there will be more than 12 episodes though. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I loved the episode! The beginning was hilarious, although the boob jokes are getting a little old with this series! xD The plot starts nicely, I think it's very interesting. Im quite intrigued, did Tiffa's summoning get interrupted, OR, dum-dum-dum, is Saito also her familiar! Interesting, interesting indeed. Im also very disappointed at the 12 episodes. (-__-') It should be 200 episodes for the last season ftw! I love the fact they actually kissed in the first ep, so they didn't start the relationship from the very bottom again. Although they get interrupted as always and louise ragequits and goes to windows. |
 |
| Louise is annoying :s |
     Click! |
| I don't like the idea of saving the world but I think its still nice to have a 4th season. |
