Series gets really exciting, just as there are only two episodes left. I wish they made this dual season instead.

Cat familiar finally shows herself, so kawaii~
And I think Erwina's pretty powerful, lot's of defensive spells not to mention she's the best herbalist in the region. I wish she was more confident, she has the cutest familiar too, cute enough to beat Kana Hazawa-Ezekiel Popu-chan.

I hope Joseph kills Galfa, or permanently maims him, cuts off the other arm and a tongue or something, maybe even his dingdong (ultimate insult to a man). That metal arm though, get it.. "metal"? haha rock on!

That was a nice episode. I liked how some of the animation was done.

The anime is slated to have 12 episodes, I see. That was expected considering the story and I'm looking forward to the last two.

Pls someone kill Galfa, he's getting on my nerves.

Anyway, I loved the part that OP starting with "I learned of love" right after the "God doesn't know love" scene. Maybe the lyrics was intended.

This anime isn't supposed to accurately reflect anybody's theology. It's the script writers taking already existing ideas and then morphing them into something of their own creation for the sake of a story. So for us viewers, regardless of our worldviews, to impose real world religion and theology onto this anime would be a mistake.

Moreover, Maria doesn't hold to the church's beliefs due to her living alone in the woods away from civilization for pretty much her whole life. So to fault her for rebelling against God isn't fair when the only God she's ever even heard of is the deistic God of Bernard, a God who is merely wrapped up in Christian formalities, and the God of the archangel Michael, who is also distant yet sets arbitrary and harsh rules. Neither of these Gods have any actual likeness to the God revealed in Jesus.

SO will those Valkyries ever make an appearance again?
Edwina finally makes a move but she is NONE too happy about it. I was half expecting her to chew out maria as she was rescuing her.
Its a good show, and its getting tense. but it really isnt THAT great.

I think you have a point here, this is all fictional and we all should understand that. But people just keep projecting their sentiments about a show religion into real life religion, which I think we should refrain from when it comes to religion because it's such a sensitive issue. Otherwise heated debate will start, which it did.

This is one of a few adaptations that I won't ever try to look up the original even though I'm dying of curiosity about what will happen next.


No problem, because the manga is completly different.
Just consider that Galfa and Bernand ( and many other ) are anime original char

Hang on! Your damsel-that-was-in-distress is about to go save your butt now! (LoL)

Gawd, Galfa's arm gets more and more disturbing every time I see it. ("Spikey fingertips mode"? SRSLY?!)

If Edwina didn't show up I thought for sure Bernard was gonna do something to stop the burning but looks like he's still "broken". (LOL)

EDIT: Now that I look at it a few more times...Isn't Edwina's cat the same girl that we saw talk to Gilbert a few times? Not 100% sure...


Joseph!! Love seeing his anger, it brings more life to his character. And now against Galfa... I can't wait to see what happens! That arm though.
And damn that scene where Edwina bust in and rescued Maria was wonderful. Best episode in a while I think, nice and flashy too. :D

And ha, I was wondering why Gilbert looked surprised to see the transformed cat. Will he less of a bigot now?

Last minute rescue (maybe)....

As for Michael, he needs to chill the freak out.

Ezekiel need to be emancipated from him, also.... being used as a spear isn't making her friendship forming shills any better.

Love the episode!

What a way to start an episode by showing us a bloody Ezekiel and injured Vivi :O

Though i'm glad Vivi survived! It seems Michael can pretty much use Ezekiel whenever he wants.

Yeah the church and these villagers are fucking sickening bunch. I'm pretty sure the real timeline they're even more fucked up and sadistic compared to what they have shown here.

This is why religion is a joke as a whole. Your pretty much following people without even understanding what they're reaching for in the first place.

I'm glad Edwina had finally shown her courage to actually save Maria. Even though she only knew Maria in a short time, i'm glad she still stood up and help her since she knows Maria is a good person.

Didn't know Edwina's familiar was spy to the church :O

Show is getting good!! though it's a shame there's only 2 episodes left and i know they already ended the manga rather too quickly.

I really hope Galfa dies in the next episode. That scum needs to die in the ditch for what he did with Maria.

Can't wait for the next episode!

DDY delayed.
What an action packed episode!
Viv is still overpowered by Arch-angel Michael. She falls but at least only injured
1st time we've ever seen Joseph get so angry!
Edwina rescues Maria on the right time!
Face-off Joseph vs Galfa!

Poor Ezekiel, all this blood :/ The second half was full of actions, I loved the OST when Maria was saved by Edwina. Galfa will surely die in the next episode, let see what will happen.

Not bad storytelling, perhaps Garfa find death at the hands of Joseph, would be an epilogue guessed, but we would see Mary in giving the coup de grace. However the best context in the story, for me, is in the opening minutes. I smell a possible sequel, who knows. Nice drawings and set designs.

Wow holy crap ... Viv got hit really badly D: Not to mention Maria going to get burned at the stake ... that sure was fast. Luckily Edwina pulled through for them! DANG it was intense when she flew in ... however I couldn't help noticing the fires also went out ... let's just say she put them out with her arrival ;P She seems to be pretty strong too (or well, maybe just against normal humans lol) and her familiar transformed! :O Maria's heading straight for the battle unsurprisingly ... and seems like we'll have Galfa and Joseph facing off next episode. That should be good!

Omg, that got bloody literally.


The Archangel Michael really is someone to be feared tbh. Really also liked how the episode highlighted the ongoing war with the siege and old fashioned artillery. Unfortunately, Maria seems to be on the verge of getting executed in public..

A very intense conclusion tbh. Loved it :D


I guess you know who dies fighting Michael?

 神は愛を知らないから……。
 そう、神は愛を知らない!!

Viv might've recovered, but damn, she got beaten worse than expected.

Pretty dope episode, especially liked Edwina's entrance and Maria experiencing the human nature.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
