This show just keeps getting more interesting. Plus a cameo appearance from Segal in that flashback scene! I hope the guy with white hair will become a main character. I like him.

it seems that zattoh guy is the same guy that attacked the library
but not sure just making this assumption on how Noloty compliments his hair
and She seems pretty strong for an apprentice 0.0
want to see more Noloty as she is hot and i find her interesting
good episode with good fight scene :)

D'aw, Relia. I liked him the most so far, don't even know why. Too bad he had to die.

Huh, this felt like 10 minutes, not 20+ o.O But I guess that's good.
Well, all in all, a pretty interesting episode :) Matt is so cool.

Quite good episode, although I don't really know what they want to achieve with this arc. I guess we'll see that pretty soon.

The white-haired man (who attacked the library) read that Meat's book so they can't be a same person.

This was a lot better than the last episode.

I am interested to see how this arc is going to play out for Noloty. I hadn't been giving her too much thought until now, so hopefully I will end up liking her a lot.

Matt is totally badass. There simply needs to be more of him. Always. Always always always.

WTF, switching focus again? At least Noloty turned out to be kind of useful. I have to wonder if this show is seriously going to be able to balance all the different elements of the setting that are getting introduced.

So we're totally setting aside Mirepoc and Volken only to show how useless the librarians are without Hamyuts? That guy just sauntered right into the library and blew up a receptionist's head without causing any alarm from the armed librarians. What good are they besides fighting sand monsters?

Noloty was annoying, and I'm still not sold on Hamyuts having good intentions. A plus this week is that besides a couple instances of bad cg and wonky legs, it looked good.

Not a bad episode, although I'm not sure where this is all going yet....

I suppose Noloty is actually quite strong....but is not using her strength....

Meseta manipulating people again....:/

EDIT: Oh by the way, expect a lot of characters to die in this series. I heard the original novel series is very cruel and kill off many characters due to backstabbing and conspiracy within the Library itself (in the FMA way). I spoiled myself that it was pretty brutal and Meseta is very cold-blooded...

You said the two things I was gonna say! :P If only all the episodes were like this. The only thing I'd add is that I wish we saw less of Hamutz, she bugs the shit out of me.

(Also, when are we gonna resolve the thing with Volken!?)

I suppose I won't mind, as long as this arc stays at (or gets better than) the level it's at in this episode.

Complete wtf @ the consistency of the plot, though.

So, let's see....

_This ep is full of LULZ in a bad way:

+ FUUUUUU-, is that how you treat a woman, you-....



+FUUUUUU-, he trolled everywhere and now he's here, with black hair....Sir. Naruta



Not to mention his damn name now is bishie with "L", perfect puking materials for me, YAY!!! (^_^)



+At first, he was like.....



.......Then, he was like....



+ You wait here, Imma call Krauser-sama here and we'll see your face afterwards, dear grandma....



+ FUUUUUU-, this pic looks SO wrong for certain reasons:



_However, it got one single good side:

+ Cool dude is cool, he kinda reminded me of Savaris Qaulafin Luckens for some strange reason....



Seriously, besides Hamyuts, I don't f'king care about anybody else since Colio, best hope for the white haired dude to join them though, since he looked kinda cool...



If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!!

It was amusing this episode to see the contrast in personalities between Meseta and Nolty.
Meseta is kind of enigmatic - she appears ruthless and a bit quirky. I'm not sure whether or not to like her, but she's an intriguing character and looks awesome.
Nolty on the other hand is a sweet girl, and perhaps a bit too soft for the job she aspires to do. I'm sure Meseta has a few things in mind to toughen her up though...

It was harsh when the girl at reception had her head blown away by the monster guy - she was being as helpful as she could, and I hope the armed librarians can take him down without Meseta having to get involved. Volken seems to have been completely overlooked this episode, and I agree that the show needs a bit of focus when it comes to things like this.

Despite the storytelling not being quite all there, it's still engaging and the characters make it all worthwhile (love the designs). The animation is good, and the backgrounds are a cut above. I'm sticking with this one till the end.

This has turned out to be the most disappointing show this season for me, even more so than the second season of darker than black.

The writers have proved totally incapable of making characters that are interesting and human like other than two characters that are the exception to the rule that they killed off at the end of the first arc.

Lacking an interesting protagonist or supporting characters, the show is sinking in to utter mediocrity.

the meat boy looks like Naruto a little bit..he he.., meat stories are sort of sad..this thing guess flourishes the anime alittle..but guess it will never reach the footsteps of an amazing anime...,there are still detectable flaws in the animation god knows why...

Watchable. The white haired guy looked cool. Noloty was annoying. It was not memorable in the least.

I'm amazed with this show's inconsistence really. It seems like every week we have a new pilot episode with a new setting and context. It's really weird. The animation in this episode was strange as well. I enjoyed Matt's display of abilities, but it wasn't something extraordinary either...

It's because different novels (from which this is adapted) were focusing on different characters and plot....

I can't believe I've waited a week with watching this episode.. I've been seriously busy D:

Well then ...wait.. wat.. Might that so-called "monster" be the previous acting director?O.o
Something tells me he is D:
I think it's the ponytail, that must be what links it with the guy : o
Hmm but in the end there, a new guy with a similar ponytail appeared : o Although he doesn't really seem the same o.o

Oh well, Matt's power is pretty cool : >

Also! More of Noloty, wee~ Could do with even more : D Which will be applied to the next episode : D
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.

I don't personally understand why everyone wants to kill meseta. What is the big deal, sure she is the acting director but they will just choose someone else.

I guess all in all I can't stand her....
I might also still be angry with that blond girl, with too many letters in her name that don't have sounds that go with them and a red coat, from last episode.

I kinda lost interest in this series once I realized that Colio wasn't going to be miraculously saved somehow. He was pretty much the protagonist of the story for the first four episodes, and no one in the last two episodes has really done anything to replace him. Its too bad too, cause I was loving the series up until that point. Now it just bores me.
