THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
For an anime which has quite mediocre production values (excluding music which is superb), Bantorra surely got a flashy finale. It looks like they'll wrap everything nicely.

Also, Soundtrack on 2cd's out on 3/25. Can't wait.

The problem is, they are doing their job at adapting the novel really well.
But volume 6 ist still not finished with episode 21...and it's questionable wether it will end with 22 or not. After that they still got 4 volumes of story to go...I just hope they won't cram that into just 3 or 4 episodes.
And going with an anime original ending NOW would just be plain disappointing...

Oh yeah, the novel. I haven't read it (probably most ppl watching this anime haven't) so I at least hope for something interesting, be it open ending or anime-only one.

Too many characters, and little time to develop them. They just describe them, instead of describing the situations. This will forever be known as one that could have been so much better. furthermore, at the rate the characters die there is no chance of creating an emotional attachment.

I liked the episode.
Too bad the old lady died like that. dunno where the mikus came from tho...
They explained lots of things and I hope they keep doing it. Interesting twists and unexpected things happening and stuff.
Looking forward for episode 22.

Yup it was most definitely a fake :D
To bad for Noloty though...She was used for his plot...And pore little Akito. He is bound to die...That's how things go in this anime. I'm still disappointed that I haven’t found anywhere to read the novels:(

Poor poor Noloty, not only does she die, but it looks like she dies after being tricked. Also *salute* Meido, you were so broken.

Eh, whatever, Ireia died. The show is travels from convenient plot development to the next. I also love how after someone has died, Hamyuts says, "X could have surpassed us all at some point." Oh well! They didn't, and I doubt they could have.

Damn, didn't think the old lady would cark it. When I saw Minth all beat up I was like "so close!" haha cus I thought he'd be next. XD; Also, lol forever @ Mirepoc stepping in as Acting Director for a bit.

Who will die next? Guessing is the only thing keeping me interested atm. Bets, please.

Once again very interesting developments, I really do wonder how they will end this series and what's behind the Church and Bantorra. Which is some kind of achievement in itself.

so we know noloty died, the kid is the reason why everyone is going crazy, and it looks like the war isn't going in the librarians' favor

anyone else thinks that Ireia beating up Noloty scene was made of win? XD
Hamy feels nothing during a battle? Maybe it's a kind of depression?
My, my. This series is too short to be as good as it could be. What a pity.

Lol wut... Dat ending he turned into a weird lizard with all those eyes... that sure is a fucked concept! The episode was quite impressive, great action but sadly another character died!

The current development is quite interesting it's mainly said already what actually happened but its still quite some nice progress!

am i the only person who hated noloty. come on she believes the world is hers how stupid can you get, and don't say her kindness makes up for it, sure she was alright in earlier episodes but she so stupid, not wanting to kill people, she gets job that gets you to kill people. why didn't she become a doctor then????????

Why didn't Ireia stop time when she was surrounded by those Meats?? She had plenty of time to get away @@ And lol if Noloty had killed Arkit like planned all those Librarians wouldn't have died. Screw Kachua, he knew that she wouldn't kill a kid. And poor Enlike, Noloty was kind of selfish on her part since she may have known that she's the reason why Enlike lived. I'm actually kind of glad that she was killed bc everything was her fault. She's the one who hated killing but ironically is the one who let everyone die bc she wouldn't kill that kid

Old maid, you can't just die like that especially with your time manipulating power :(

That was pretty OP power, it's just like mass hypnosis

RIP Ireia T_T

I guess it is confirmed that Noloty did died. Kachua probably stabbed her the last second or hired that guy that killed Vizak.
