----------------------------------------
Welp and some fan service this episode. Can't say I'm surprised since ARMs is involved with the series.

Natsuna and Cecil are getting along better now. That's pretty cool I guess. The enemy this episode looked like some sort of pyromaniac and turns out to be Diana. The mecha action in this series feels a bit odd still to me. That was one epic clash though. On the other hand, I'm a bit suspicious of Moyo and her true intentions. I was also somewhat surprised by Kaede's actions.

I also really hope Cecil can get her mother out of prison.

This is getting interesting. Kaede did seem a bit suspicious, so it wasn't surprising that she was in that diaboloid. Kinda noticed that Moyo looked sort of similar to that guy that Cecil had a crush on in the picture. Maybe they are both related or maybe she is that guy. That would be crazy.

Little doubt that was the best episode to date, but it just highlights what this show should have been instead of what it is. Didn't particularly like the "lonely child because she has a half" bit, not because that couldn't have been an interesting subplot, but rather because it felt like they tacked it on to try to make us feel fake sympathy for Cecil. If they wanted to go that way they should have hinted at it before not go, "well, she is well adjusted anyways". The same is true with WUG discrimination, again another great potential subplot, but that seems to come and go when they want it.

Which of course points to the bigger problem with this show: too many "wouldn't it be cool if we did this" with out enough thought about how to string these cool things together into a compelling story.

I wonder if half the fans still watching this are hoping that there will be some clue whether the BDs have some hentai scenes in it?

After all this buildup, there better be an amazing ending that actually explains everything. Because if not, I will be severely disappointed. I guess we'll see.

Once again, the "plot" is still very weak. Nice action scene though.

I never expected that Diana will betray her team through. It was sad to hear Kaede died.

That looks like Moyo on the picture?? Unless she has a brother or something. I am thinking that boy tried to kill Cecil six years ago. The mother protects her by killing him and here she is in prison T__T Moyo wants revenge on Cecil!!!

Plot seems to be moving so hoping the focus will remain on this main story line for the last few episodes :)

So Cecil's father seems to know something about her powers. Clearly he knows how she can awaken more than one. Who knows what other powers Cecil has, but whatever seal was on her is breaking no doubt.

I'm curious now though. Cecil said she has no memories of the incident. So what if (small chance) she was the one who murdered the person due to losing control of her powers, and her mom took the blame? It's one possibility I guess.

Kaede disintegrated O__O

So that charm in Cecil's hair kind of acts like a seal? Everytime she "awakens", it always breaks. Or maybe it's just something symbolic. What did they mean by "kill her again"?

Noo Moyo don't be evil. She could be from another faction. But what the hell she's OP. She can stop time, teleport and disintegrate people?! Please don't let her be an alien -__-

I thought it was Moyo standing beside Cecil in the pic. Turns out it was a boy lol

Hachi needs to work on his naming sense, lol.

Pervy frog is still my favorite character in the series, haha. Odd that only two of the wizard barristers have familiars that have appeared. I wonder if only some wizards manifest/call familiars, or if everyone else just leaves theirs at home. Both the ones we've seen are perverts, so maybe that's why they don't get let out much.

I think Cecil may have actually died in that confrontation that her mom went to jail for, which is why her memories are gone. I also wonder if her mom actually attacked pre-emptively, and that's why the parents don't want to tell her about it?

Cecil kicks some ass with that Diaboloid, lol. That thing was huge, too, and wrecked a lot of the surrounding towns it looks like. Surprised she didn't get in trouble for that, but then, Canadians are a pretty easygoing bunch.

I'm intrigued so far, wonder how things are going to wrap up this season ...

That's what I want to know. That whole group is extremely suspicious regarding their actions and the incident 6 years ago is as well. I almost feel like the mother is covering for Cecil that's why she has no memory and nobody wants to tell her about it.

Best episode so far imo. Epic fight scene and animation was top notch.

I agree about Cecil's mother covering for her, it really feels like they are pushing the story in that direction.

great episode.

the setting has potential but the series is just not able to use it so it should stick to the strong points of the show which this episode showed. the fight scenes are good and they should stick to the main plot now.


12 episodes is just not enough to really create a world where the series plays in

This show is really underrated, whenever the action breaks loose the animation is just top notch. Compare that to for instance Magi giving us near-stillframe giant villains. I like how the story is done too, people just love to complain I guess.

Overall a good episode, one of the best actually but the script sometimes...

Hah, I knew Kaede was a bad person, i've found something fishy about her since she appeared on their way to Canada! also wtf Moyo D: what is... she's half mastermind or something. I guess she was the one that made Kaede disintegrate?

"Kill her again" Ehh Wut.. Well that would explain Cecils lost memory if she's been revived or something.

Those fights were amazing and when Kaede blew up Cecil's house, it felt like a blow to the gut.

The diaboloid/metamoloid animation and battles are one of my favourite things about this series :D

Kaede's death sure was something else. All that distortion...felt like an exorcism.

I thought Moyo was a good guy. I still hope she turns out to be one. At the very least, she seems to care about Cecil.

I could never understand people who complained about this show's plot. It's one of those shows that you think you know where it's going but at the same time you don't really know. What is Cecil? what happened 6 years ago? whose side Moyo is really with? are those guys from the other law firm evil or not? I bet none of us could predict this accurately 100% based on what's been presented so far. Sure you may take some wild guesses like Kaede was actually evil (duh) but I bet no one could've predicted that she was just being used and that she was one of No Face's member's daughter.

To me this has been one of the strongest series this season. Better even than the ever predictable Noragami (yeah go on, lynch me).

Why am I hoping Mayo only teleported Kaede back to Japan, to a safe place. Maybe I'm wrong but if I'm not mistaken Mayo has the ability to 'jump' to any place even country since the two lawyers saw her in Canada then she disappeared and we saw her again back to the Butterfly office.

Yay, now I like the anime! * _ *
Plot very interesting, there are some good developments, accompanied by a narrative full of action and feeling.
The screenplay, personal impression, has its highs and lows, however, is good.
Drawings and animations are always insufficient quality, what the hell is doing the Arms?!
Costume design and character design, are still to my liking.

If only it were more organized and the characters were more fleshed out, it could be one of the best underrated series of the season.

Natsuna turned tsundere. XD

The former friend in the picture looks like Moyo, I wouldn't be surprised in the future episodes if it is really her. Then there's the matter of teleporting herself to North America to simultaneously kill Diana and Kaede in Boston and somewhere in Canada, respectively, and who were apparently working for Macal or it's/her/his/whatever followers. Is she with Macal or does she oppose them since the ones who sent those two don't know her interference?
