What the hell is wrong with the production, gaaahhhh. They totally waisted good fighting scenes and again the crappy CGI shows up when the train is falling off the bridge. The story development is not that good either. To me this episode was not that great. It had lots of potential but it failed in production level. I'm not sure if I wanna watch this anymore.

The Colio&Shiron story was downright stupid. I didn't like it that much (probably because of the characters but oh well, more is to come or so I hope).

The Cigal/Meseta fight was pretty cool. I love her recklessness, especially when she delivers the final blow. Anyway, the last part was very interesting. It seems like the beginning of a new "arc" and though I'm still completely lost about what is going on, I'm also excited. I want to see more of Volken. Hehe.

Why are people dropping this before the next arc even starts, just because the character with character development got killed off? The rest of the arcs will give development to other characters.

Why not ask Volken instead?

They already killed off Segal, who was one of the two worthwhile characters in this show. Who cares about Colio? Plain and boring. I had thought I was going to try and stick with this series, but this ep really convinced me otherwise. The whole Shiron plot in general was really annoying to begin with.

Another dropped show for the Fall. Sigh.

Wait, so Colio actually died? Damn. Talk about anyone can die...

Anyway, I really like this episode. And Meseta is simply badass beyond words.

Now to see if they can handle such an unusual story...

Because they failed to notice that this show is called "Armed Librarians: Book of Bantorra" and not "Bombyfing Meats: Book of a Witch"

Even the creators are using the title wrong, it should be "Armed Librarians: Boobs of Bantorra". If you are keen enough to look at Hamyuts, you should know what I mean...

And unlike my senpai(s), I will give it another go to see besides Hamyuts' boobs, does this show have anything else to offer at all?

D= Colio dead?! I only watched this mostly for him too...DROP

ok....well...not yet...giving it one more chance cuz I'm curious what Volken's gonna do.

(Plus I secretly hope Colio is ok.....I mean...the meats were fine when there were holes dug in em and bombs were placed inside him....I know it's probably hopeless, but I can still dream >.> ) I'm a little surprised they made him survive that long even...

This is the episode that has changed it all for me. I absolutely HATED this show for the first two episodes. The last episode was very good. And this episode made it even better. I hope Colio isn't dead (like everyone else). Looking forward to watching the next episode!

I really enjoyed the whole Shiron and Colio love story bettewen two people in a different time, it worked well. Most Romance these days are a bore fest, but here while short and not deep in alot of ways.At least its intereting and memorably. While I'm no fan of tradic endings. It works here! As to how they watch the sun together, I guess in Death they are able to be together.

Unlike the failed attempt in the second last phantom episode, Deaths were fitting and made the the story tragic and great without screwing around the characters.

Apart from the fighting scene, this episode did absolutely nothing for me..
I've disliked the whole Colio x Shiron story since the beginning.
When they talked in that house for like 15 minutes of the whole episode, I nearly fell asleep.

All these fanboi/girlish comments make me sick. Your sissy favourite character colio died? Oh NOEZ, end of anime 4 y0u! Go back to watching shoujo or something. This is all about Hamyuts, her boobs, paku romi's teasing you with her voice and just kicking ass fight scenes and a tripped out weird interesting story. The shiron/colio romance was a nice touch, but i'm glad they ended it there and as fast as they did, else it would of dragged on. Shiron was about as uninteresting a character as you could get. Same as Colio.

I'm late, but oh well. This was a fantastic episode, I thought it was just about perfect and I only have minor issues (Segal was blinded by the sun, but what's that got to do with his sword that's supposed to attack and defend on its own? Was it blinded too? o.O)

The way Shiron and Colio's arc came together with them both having fallen in love with each other and being each other's inspiration was great and touching. I have to echo other sentiments that without them this series loses much of what it had going for it - I almost gave up on the awful, awful first episode until signs of Colio's awakening.

But because of that I'll stick with the show for a few more episodes because I already almost made the mistake of dropping it too early so we'll see.

This arc was very good, both Colio and Shiron got some great character development in just 4 episodes and i really cared about them, so of course this episode was quite sad and now i am curious if the next arcs will be just as good as this one.

Damn, is it the final of Shiron and Colio arc? If it is so I think I should drop this show. Just because now it's 10/10 and I can't see any way for it to be better.

I never expected this Colio guy to die so earlier in the story 0-0
I thought he was part of the main cast...
This series surprised me.

And people in MAL surprise me EVEN more. Why so many people are going to drop the anime so fast when the fighting just started looking awesome?

Damn that was pretty amazing! The backstory combined with the mainstory, great action and all under great visuals!

Found it rather sad they killed of Colio but yea it seems he was just the main lead in this chapter...

Lets see what's next!

Wow they threw a Doctor Who level timey-wimey plot device into this and then they killed Colio. Okay if they are willing to kill a main character like that this early, I'm definitely hooked. No one is safe in this show.

so wait did colio change history or something? since she was dead for ages and he just recently got the book. So how was Shiron before these before they talked to her. What was her past and thoughts. cool fight and all but this is really confusing. also so this is how books are retrived. Also did not see Colio being killed at all. I thought the Shiron story was going to be a big focus of the show guess I was wrong. Also did they ever cure that sick girl with the cat?

I'm baffled at how childish some viewers are here. Oh the character I liked died? Dropped. Stupid. This show is getting better by the episode

Interesting take. I'm still a bit confused as to how Iiya and Karthelo was able to communicate to Shiron in the past and help shift her future.

Even more crazy how Shiron seems to have known Colio and even predicted this event decades later. How did she know Colio fell in love with her on sight?

I also don't know if Shiron really wanted to kill Hamy or it was just reacting to anyone using Shlamuffen.

Animation is really good!! As expected from David Productions :)

Getting a bit annoyed at Volken. These are the type of characters who will get others killed due to their recklessness.

A nice starting conclusion between eps 1-4.
