Nice missile :O

Watching that alchemist getting his ass kicked was pretty fun. Yukina sure showed him. Yukina and Akatsuki's teamwork was flawless tbh. I'm guessing this was adapted from volume 6. I'm surprised they will cover another arc after this. What, is that another Yukina I saw in the PV?!

Doesn't look like we will see all 12 familiars this season. New familiar is okay, battle was pretty dull.

great episode as much as i love yukina i'm glad she didn't get in the way of kojou's fight.
apparently the new familiar is meant to fight a specific enemy

2 episodes left so that sounds like plans for a second season looking forward if the sales are high enough

So a Familiar that can reverse a things time, kinda op! Pretty decent episode, well except for "that" damn line. Must be like the 6th time I've heard that now. Not sure what they can do in these last 2 episodes.

Ok episode but i truly hate Yukina. They always pick the worse female characters for the lead. We all know who should be the lead. She already stalks and jealous its damn annoying. Really wish La Folia or Sayaka was the main character and make Yukina get screen time like his sister or something.

I have no idea what htey going to do in the 2 remaining episodes. I figured they would drag this arc out. Anybody that read the novels or w/e are they rushing it because it sure seems like it.

I believe it was his sister and i think the soul in his sister use to be the 4th. Remember she beat the shit out Valter in a previous episode.

It was Nagisa possessed by the 12th Familiar. That Siren/Mermaid monster that beat the crap out of Vatler.

I think the preview for the next episode is the short story which they have in the novels which would make sense since they are only two more episodes left.

Plus all the comments about THE line of the show, I must say that I´m dissapointed with this ep., specially with the "evil guy" twist.

I really liked Amatsuka kou as a villain. Good looking, some nice lines, cool powers, op alchemy...And the twist of his origin, being a homunculus instead of a half-human, could have been very well played, plus the fact that he was a toy on hands of the Wiseman...But, suddenly, we have a terrible designed boss out of nothing, and Kou is killed in less time that Bane on TDKN when the twist on the film is made...And that´s not something i liked too much.

We have seen other characters surviving the archs and being secondary, like Kanon's father so, why Amatsuka couldn't keep on the show, trying to adapt to a human world being other thing?...No, we need to put more girls on the Harem -.-

I just hope the last 2 ep. are interesting, but it looks like will be Himeragi trying to confess to Kojou...

Yukina pursues Amatsuka; who is in pursuit of Kanon..

Nina makes an Asagi clone for herself with modified breasts. XD
Natsuki-chan & La Foria helps Kojou to get to the ferry via prototype aircraft.

That was the real Sayaka? Wasn't Kojou suppose to get more hits? XD
Cat-senpai hands Yukina's weapon to Kojou. finally.. :)

Kanon got guts, trying to talk to Amatsuka in that situation!
Yukina saves Kanon; Koujo saves Yukina. That cruise missile was awesome though.

Battle begins. Nina finishes talking with Amatsuka.
Secondary battle begins against that unidentified skull (semi-wiseman); which turned into a huge monster..

Statue Kojou was cool.. Yukina laments about the indecent things Kojou did to her. XD
Yukina's "Yukina" 'familiar' awakens Kojou and he take Yukina's blood, once again. :p

Damn Kojou, summoning 4 familiars at once!
Yukina finishes off Amatsuka. I still didn't feel bad for him.

A new familiar is introduced; Sadalmelilk Albus, 11th familiar. Pretty badass!
Tiny Nina looked nice! :) Yukina being a little more clingy..

Next episode: "Akaatsuki's Kingdom I"

I have two questions I have trouble with in this episode: One, is what happen to the real Asagi after they were transported to the airship: Two, what was the Wiseman's motivation? I only know Amatsuka wants to resurrect Wiseman, but it was just a trick but I don't get Wiseman's action.

Episode felt rushed and the battle was short-lived again. Yeah I mostly agree all the comments that Yukina is really annoying. Well we are two episodes left, I wonder how the ending will play it off for the last arc.

Personally, I don't have a problem with a series having its own line. That being said, "No, senpai, this is our fight" is a fairly ill-conceived one. The problem is that it's so forced. There's not a good place where it gets used without sounding awfully cliche.

But anyway, this arc has been a disappointment in and of itself. For the past couple of arcs we seem to be seeing important stuff happening, but this arc just feels like it wasn't really all that plot-significant. I mean, we know that a new familiar is out, and we're kind of starting to understand that there's a deeper purpose to Kojou's powers -- it seems like the Wiseman said something about this kind of power being used to deal with something. But still, the story felt flat and the main villain of the arc felt very run of the mill, presumably because many parts of the story were cut out. Well, 2 more episodes. I hope this series doesn't disappoint on closing.

"That" line is getting on my nerves --' Just say it already Himeragi, u want the D. Overall a good episode,with all those familiars at the same time, but the anime is getting way to predictable. P.S : WTF is wrong with that monster's Laughter, i just can't take it seriously.

This. is. so. true.
I like being the girl loving the pairing everyone dislikes. Just. Yukina is such an awesome character (if you slap her with her "observation" obstination - cuz really you are in love gurl -). And tbh I think they perfectly made understand Yukina and Koojou's relationship was kinda different. It's more real, episode after episode.

NO SENPAI this is our fight- annoying as hell
Akatsuki makes a cool entrance to the rescue(ruined by Yukina)
Weisman(worst villain so far, finished off in 5min)

Couldn't Akatsuki win with the twin dragon familiar and have it sent to a different dimension or something?

That was it? Really? The alchemist dude was really interesting to watch and his backstory and conflict is just glossed over in the span of an episode. Disappointed and the fight was pretty dumb and just overused. No wonder I am losing interest. And what's with Himeragi's last line and the preview contradicting? Wtf

THIS. *start rant*

I had to pause the video, facepalm a couple of times and take a deep breath before un-pausing it. As if Yukina isn't already the least interesting girl in the series (imo), they just had to make her say that damn line every single fight. Just when you're like "ooh now comes the fight!" she just had to say it ugh. I wonder if the script writer and director also cringed when they did this episode. *end rant*

I wish this show would end already since I want to finish what I started. Anti-climactic fights, annoying "This is our fight" line repeated every fucking arc. And the worst thing is the main girl just get more and more annoying every fucking episode.

Sadly this was a weak episode. Asagi is out cold and everyone just up and left. If they didn't place her somewhere safe she's fucked when she wakes up. I wont explain the other reason why I didn't like this episode.

They also did a poor job on Kou's character. It's sad how such a interesting personality is going to waste.

The only reason she seems like a good fit is because She's the only main female lead who's been given screen time. Had anyone else been allowed the same time with Kojou we'd have a different romance on our hands.

I know right? I stopped acknowledging Yukina's existence 10 episodes ago and the show became so much better! There's also no irrational hate anymore!
