Not bad for this episode. The show still maintains a balance of action even after the intense fighting from the previous episode. Maria's team recovered but the training takes some toll on Kirika a bit.

Interesting to see more of Maria's past. I felt bad for them though when they were kids. Those experiments...:(

I believe the Ryouko we saw in the facility should be the original Ryouko? It was Serena evoke the alpha-wave at that time which affect the Fine gene inside Ryouko and slowly taking over, Fine was then reborn. Well not sure thou.

Dr.ver just won't die and forever on in everyone's heart.

great ep but gotta say its annoying how they keep bringing up that soccer kid as he should have been dead cause anyone else that gets touched just instantly turns into dust but that soccer kid didnt smh been annoyed with that ever since

besides that hopefully next ep is the ep Maria can finally transform without problems along with the other 2 so am looking forward to that

Maria just gets better and better and taking the spot of top fave of the series imo

anyway looking forward to the next ep

Another slower but progressive episode.




AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! LMAO!

Personally, I found Kirika's songs to be the weakest in the series, but I think Dangerous Sunshine is her best song. She's like competing against Chris to see who has the best rock song. And that transformation. We got Pole Dancing up in here! Also, did you notice something different about Shirabe's attack frame? There's a chainsaw sound effect!

I guess Kaneko was right in tweaking and displacing. In GX we handled each character's problems one at a time, however in this episode of AXZ, we're tackling all of the characters' problems at once. Hibiki and fighting against the Illuminati, Tsubasa and the Kazanari Institute, Chris and her guilt with Stefan and Sonya, Kirika and Shirabe with their LiNKER issues, Maria and confronting her past, and Elfnein finding the source for the LiNKER. Miku's message at the end was a nice one too. "You don't have to win. Just don't lose." That Noise at the end looks like a hydra...or more accurately, Yamato no Orochi. Tsubasa might be the shining star in the next episode...

Maria and Serena looked so cute back then. And LOOOOL! A RANDOM ACTION HERO APPEARS! I was expecting him to come back one way or another (as I sad in the anticipation/expectations thread), but not like this! Hahaha! We got Shinichiro Miki and Tomokazu Sugita all up in this bitch!

I've not watched Kirika's transformation in a long time. Not bad. A lot less DESS! than I remember though. Glad Maria is getting her screentime too. That line in her song "LET'S GET NAKED!" doesn't really translate well lmfao! - were you thinking of Tsubasa there girl? Mm? *nudge nudge


Really liked the backchat this ep, Shirabe to Hibiki (you cheeky little shit), Chris at Shirabe and Kirika lol, and surprisingly Tsubasa to Grandad-Daddy xD I can't believe Tsubasa's Daddy-Bro can still be in the same room as that old fart, holy shit.

Bit of a slow buildup but can't wait to see what happens next week now that Hibiki has some words of encouragement from the wifey!

From what I recall, every time the creators took care to show someone getting all Noise'd into dust, it did indeed spread from the point of contact, not instantaneously.

Though I also see your point, as I believe every time random military dudes bite the dust (PUN!?) it happens rather quickly.

Pretty sure it's possible for Chris to have shot the kid's leg off, I have no complaints there. :P
I wish not to have a signature, as I find them incredibly obtrusive. As such, imagine something flashy.

Emotional episode is emotional. I love it!

Diving deep into Maria's mind to find the answers... and then Ver shows up. Can't you just cease to exist already!?

Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with going wild inside your own mind, Maria, you've got the right idea.

Miku dropping them pearls of wisdom at the end: "You don't have to win; just don't lose."

The episode seemed like just a transitional one, then the ending, holy shit, the ending. Ver should be national treasure at this point, not even death can beat him. I just wish we can manage to see an scene of him and Adan interacting. That's my only wish for this season.


That feeling when Ver will never live in your heart ;_;

Also, anytime Tsubasa's "grandfather"/father appears I cannot stop thinking in the "my grandfather impregnated my mother" thing.

Kirika's transformation was lower framerate then the others.


Not much action this episode.

Weird that Ryouko was at that "lab" in Maria's memory. I get they're trying to tie everything in with the first season but... just stop, please.

Ver is back!

She worked with FIS in the second season, too.

Glad we got a lot of Maria screen time :)

LMAO, why does Dr. Ver keep coming back XD

I mean, Fine only appear in S1 and S2 and some reference here, but Dr. Ver physically appears in all seasons!!!

I was hoping Fine would revive as well.

Sharing the same consciousness is cool, hopefully they don't get hurt and can find the missing puzzle piece to LiNKER!

It's always a treat to see Maria in action. I love her so much, especially her sexy armpits!

So far, they've only been showing lesbian stuff throughout the series. Hopefully, Dr. Ver & Maria will eventually have romantic feelings for each other. The more you hate, the more you love. Hehe
