Damn, I almost forgot what Alisha is capable of.

Quite an intense episode of action. Of course, Sorey transformed again to fight while we get to see more of Mikelo fighting too. That was also one of the strongest Hellions I've seen so far from the series. That ain't no normal storm either.

Wooo this water form is badass
Alisha was powerless once again, I wonder why the next episode is titled "Alisha Diphda"

Very good episode, Animation was visually stunning and Action sequences were epic as usual.

Interesting that Lailah says Sorey's pure motive of simply wanting to save people is still too fragile to actually purify a hellion.

The first fight against the Ouroboros ended fairly quickly and even easily I must say, Edna Earth powers are pretty awesome. In fact all of Sorey's battle armors look so damn cool.
A new type of Seraphim that boosts powers, Cool. What's with Atakk and his secret with Lailah? :3

Sad to see Alisha feel powerless. :(

The water battle armor was amazing and the DragonStrike Azure shoot Ryuu ga Waga Teki wo Kurau! against the Drake was epic.
Nice wrist bump at the end :)

Alisha episode next week?:o

I wish there was more interaction between Alisha and our Shepherd to spark that romance we all want to see, am I right?

Now i'm really curious of the identity of the dragon who went to lady lake. Even though i know the game story, i've no idea who it could be. I thought it was Eizen first but it was stated it wasn't him. Then i thought it must be the drake we saw in this episode but it clearly wasn't him either.

I knew we would get the water armatization this episode but getting earth too is a nice bonus.

OST was as good as ever, and the visuals are still going strong despite it being episode 9. Hope they can keep this up the next few episodes before the break between cours.

5/5.

Kinda a bit rushed, but they included the most important parts which is good . Idk maybe cause it took me much more to solve marlind's case in game . Still a very good ep
Also Finally that mikleo and edna banter , we'll get lots of that lmao also attak just funny as in game when it comes to Lailah

It's no surprise that Sorey and Mikleo transformed together, the end of the OP kind of spoiled that. Plus, it makes sense that if he can do that with Lailah, he should be able to do that with his closest friend. The form looked really cool, as well as the attack used to defeat the Drake.

The CGI is still badly integrated (or "the 2D drawings are still badly integrated"), but a few interesting things came up: after the sky humans, I discovered the sky "plushes". The "fusion" I was waiting for since the introduction of this system finally happened.

4/5 Nice water arrow sequence.


Was the dragon in development really called a "dragon puppy" in japanese? (french text uses "vouivre", an equivalent of the english wyvern)

this episode was really cool! Especially the sorey/mikleo armatization scene, 10/10 animation. Edna was awesome as usual. Poor Alisha is trying her best, looks like the next episode will have her in the spotlight.

Also is it just me or was the armatization with mikleo more powerful than the others before, or maybe it was just better suited for that sort of combat? And how does the name thing work? I heard it was sorta a big deal to give your true name or something.

It's going to be split cour with 25 total episodes (counting the Berseria ones). Because yeah, 13 is definitely not enough. So now worries there.

Mikleo making a new friend. Atakk is pretty cool.
Sorey's armatization with Edna was cool.

Alisha's Spiritual powers are developing.

That Drake was trouble. Mikleo just in time to help out.
Sorey & Mikleo armatization was so amazing & bad ass.
Azure Assault looked spectacular. Nice to see these two together again.

LOL Mikleo-Boy, Mi-Bo. Edna is funny.

One of my fav episode so far xD
FINALLY! Mikleo made a sub contract with him. the transformation was so freaking badass as i expected. i really like the action in this episode a lot. not only they showed Sorey's tranformation with mikleo but they showed the transformation with edna too. although it wasn't that different like the transformation with Laila.

I like Mikleo's character interaction with that little guy xD kinda funny to watch.
looking foward to the next episode.

I think Sorey is actually ambidextrous. In the game, his artes have him switching which hand he uses the sword.

Also Edna's Artifact is a Gauntlet. She just gives it to Sorey, but it doesn't seem to be stated in the anime. Unlike Mikleo, Lailah and Edna already have their artifact because they some of the oldest Seraphim around, compared to Mikleo who is still a little boy (Hence why Edna can call Mikleo as Mibo, Mikleo Boy)

It would be great if the show tone down on the exposition dump, especially ones where characters state the obvious and instead use the time to actually make the character interesting because so far most of them are boring, with a slight exception being Edna as she does a bit more than dumping exposition in my face.

I'm really excited about this anime fight scenes, especially at the end of this episode with the new battle form of Sorey with Mikleo, the partnering him with Lailah and Edna also seems to be getting stronger, moreover, I like this simple personality of Sorey, I look forward to see more of Alisha next episode, I want to see the development of her relationship with the protagonist ..
