Oh man, sex jokes around the corner.

I wonder when Cecily will be given a sword. I mean because, Cecily sucks.

Of course, you know what I mean what I say that. ;)

Oh yeah and tits.

Wooooow, this anime is sooooooo lame. Thank god it's only 12 episodes.

Cecily was getting hit on a little too much by that Aria. Weird. As for the episode, it was good, quite boring as not enough action until the last 5 minutes of the episode. It was predictable that she would use Aria and some problematic situation would surface for her to use the sword, atleast she finally kills someone lol. Luke is still amazing, although scarce in his contribution at times in recent episodes, still a good character.

Besides the titty talk, this was actually a good episode with Manglobe quality animation.

Not much else to say, really, except that this might actually get pretty good, if this continues.

Oh and also, Aria's transformation from human -> sword, way too long.
But compensating for that, the forging is cool xD

And lastly, Aariaaa~
And the strange ED

Awesome episode, for once they didn't dragged the ''I can't kill a human'' part as much as I would have thought which is something good.

There'll probably be some people who are against Cecily keeping Aria tough, gouvernment often tend to use whatever they can when it comes to war and Cecily don't want to kill except for protecting something

I wonder if we're ever going to get outside the city? Although I have to admit, it would be refreshing to see a fantasy show that didn't involve Journeying from Point A to Point B to get the Thing in order to kill the Scary Guy and save the World/Damsel/Apple Pie.

Best ep. I'll keep my hopes up it keeps getting better!

And, yes, 'saving the apple pie' trope happens in the fantasy genre more often than you might think.

It did not have a blade on it yet. His last blade broke in episode 1.
This episode is worth watching more than once. Compared to other episodes it really is incredible. The most noted I find is Cecily's words to Jack of not forgetting that she is the one who killed him and hte promise she made Aria swear to her at the end. I don't think I will forget those parts in this anime. Guess anime is something quite different from things in this world.
Antanaru said:
Oh Cecily, we know you want to work for Luke. With your body.

Yeah, I was not sure in the RAW about this but it looks like she did promise that her body belongs to him and all that she has. I do think it was more that she was willing to offer all to Luke to help her. Shows how desperate she was at that time.

Yeah the titty talk was a pointless joke thing. Animation quality, I don't know but I know the battle was incredible compared to other ones.

Well, I liked this episode quite a bit. I'm starting to like Cecily a lot more than I originally did. It will be interesting to see how her character grows throughout the series.

Aria is just. Well. Aria. <3 And Lisa is <3 as well.

And Luke is so cranky and great. I love him. And there should be more of him. I think Mr. Crankybritches may just be my favorite character. X3

Personally i find Cecily to be a very annoying character. She is a prideful, self righteous, holier than thou character that is at the same time very weak (i.e. she is all talk). She also has that annoying arrogance of the standard "nobility archetype" you often see in anime, even being the fallen nobility she is. To top it off, she frequently shouts out the generic hero "save everyone, do no wrong" catchphrases! Now the worst has came to pass and she gained great power, not by earning it or training to be stronger, but simply by acquiring a demon sword, something likely only to increase her sense of arrogance and self righteousness.


That's pretty much how I feel too. She has a huge ego and always spouts catchphrases about protecting people and whatever, but when push comes to shove she has to throw herself at Luke's feet and beg him to help her. AGAIN. Come on.

I'm really enjoying this series. It's always better when you don't build high expectations, and that's what I intend to do.

Only thing that slightly bothered me was the Hooded man disappearance. They set up a trap knewing that hell was going to break loose, and didn't thought about locating and arresting the guy. Talk about competence.

Anyway, it's not like a villain would be caught or anything on a third episode.

Uh, okay? I thought the whole point of Aria being in human form was so that nobody would know she was the demon sword (Cecily said something to that effect in one of the previous eps). Sure, let's just have a city-wide event where we reveal that secret! /bad writing

Also, wow, sexual harrassment to the max in this episode. I don't care if it was supposed to be comedy, that old guy should not be telling Cecily she has "a nice rack". :/

Where exactly?

I misapplied that word, what I meant was weak writing.

I mean... for the last two episodes their priority was to keep Aria's identity in secret, and that was probably one of the reasons why they given demon sword to Cecily. Suddenly they just brought up the plan to expose her and bring ultimate weapon right in the hand of their enemies...

Noticed, made me chuckle.

I like how they animated Luke fighting, but Cecily was horrible. I hate it when they make two lazor beams clash and the fight is decided just like that, it's been done to death.

Good episode and Cecily seems to have become much better this episode (good determination to get Aria back and finish off the demon). Lol at the beginning and the jokes with the light atmosphere though, and curious as to the sword Luke is searching for as well as the mistake he made in the past. Nice at the end when Cecily and Aria vowed to become comrades in front of the tomb though.

Lol what the fuck? For some reason, Aria's wind became bigger and killed the fire dude. It was so cheesy I was laughing the whole time, lol.

Okay so the titty talk was kinda cute. Aria was like if you showed your tits to Luke, he'll definetely make you a katana, and Cecily was like, oh I already showed them, lmfao. Also, Lisa gave a hint that she's also the same kind as Aria. A weapon, that is.

Loved how Cecily gave up her body just for Luke to help her. She was like "If you want my body, you can use it however you want." GO LUKE, DON'T MISS THE CHANCE.

Great episode!

Cherami Leigh really turned this anime around for me.

I couldn't even get past 2 episodes when it premiered,with how annoying Cecily's voice was, and now I'm loving this show.

Aria is awesome, it took 4 episodes to set it up, but it looks like Cecily and Aria will make an awesome team.

I guess that means she won't be getting a kitana after all, at least for a while.

Urahara Out!!

Boob-comments set aside, I dare say that this was actually a good episode. It was nice to see Cecily finally come to term with the fact that protecting people sometimes mean killing others.

Also, I'm getting vague shoujo-ai vibes from Cecily and Aria, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part ^^

Jeez everyone is obsessed with Cecily's breasts! The fight was great and intense, especially how that demon was melting away the knights. I also like how Cecily's has found her resolve as a knight and the relationship between her and Aria. I actually find it interesting what's going on with Aria, it's almost like she's been looking for a master to give her redemption from how she's been forced to take lives before.

I feel bad for Cecily. Not her personally, but her character. She's portrayed as a tough as nails female lead with a strong personality, but she, as by her own words, hasn't done anything. Well, beyond being a meat shield and the butt of jokes. Then here, her great display of courage starts off by offering Luke money and/or her body to beat the demon. Then, the first time she killed anyone was a person that had since turned into a monster. This is accompanied by her spouting off a heroic speech while Luke yells at her to get on with it, which was an amusing moment actually. Still, a step up is a step up I guess.
