Damn, Narumi always have to deal with the freaks in this show. But still, his dedication to protect children is amazing.

Fighting aboard an an aircraft made the episode even more thrilling. (I actually recall an episode similar in nature from Ushio to Tora) Pretty intense action as I had expected. I feel like Narumi is getting stronger himself every time he is on screen from these episodes.

They almost meet each other much faster than I'd have expected.

Also if the sight of being stabbed with 30 knives from last episode wasn't enough, this week we have 7 twisted fingers.

To think that the relationship between Shirogane and Narumi is that depressing...but all in regards to how much they have went through.

And...back to Narumi, another battle of freaks. So begins this long hard battle between him and the automata. You'd think last episode's 30 knife piercing was tough to swallow, think about Guy's finger snapping.

Lucille on the other hand, does her job too. It seems to me now that both Guy and Lucille have done their homework on the automata, and though their number can't compare to the automata, they certainly have the power to outwit them.

And...finally...reunited...??? Guess not, says Narumi! The change would definitely shock both Masaru and Shirogane, so leave that for a future episode! Another extensive, action-packed episode that continues to hold my breath every step of the way.

Gotta be honest, when the plane crashed near the circus my first reaction was "hey, finally the reunion, can't wait", then i forgot that Narumi had lost his memory lol.
Good episode as always but damn, they're playing hard with the manga. The beast tamer girl wasn't even introducted in the anime aswell as the circus opening.

ps. When the hell are full versions of OP and ED are gonna come out??????

I was so happy when the plane crashed infront of the circus because I thought the reunion is here... nevermind. However, funny how Shirogane changed after meeting Narumi, I hope she will be able to express or at least have more emotions than she had and currently have.

Pretty thrilling episode, but it sucks that the real reunion can't happen yet.

Again all of this was way more exiciting in the manga. The fight between the automaton, the reunion betweent narumi shirogane and masaru the sky fight between guy and automaton and everything else. The problem i can see with this anime is that they are running a lot with his adaptation and they are cutting the best parts of this manga, i mean, come on i know that you need to save time but... dont you think you are overdoing? I just expect that you were not just cutting the exciting parts of this story to later take your time with the most boring parts that are coming next...

Now this was a good episode!

The start of the attack on the plane was a bit awkward and crude, but the suspense, and Olympia's flight were pretty cool! Guy also seems to be older than I thought, I wonder if that elixir retards or stops their aging process too. lol I can't really like Lucille taking into account the way she trained Shirogane, but she was kind of cool too. I'm a bit confused with her puppet though, it seems to be a simple, if valuable, sword, but well.

Shirogane really fell for Narumi, she even teared up thinking about him because she believed she would never be able to see him again, but as soon as she was about to properly start her circus life with Masaru and their new companions, he appeared before them, though it was all pretty fast, but a nice, if brief, reunion nonetheless. At least they will know that he is alive, and search for him even if he just disappears out of nowhere, right? The next episode might be even better.

I never thought this show would give me more campy atmosphere than Revue Starligt. Damn, I watch the shonen, where the kung fu master with a hand-Swiss knife, Lee Chaolan and an old woman with a sword are fighting against creepy kamikaze puppets on an airplane. And it's not to mention the ending of the episode, which resembles something like Duck Tales.

PS. At first, Vilma openly flirts with Shirogane, and now starts a conversation about love as if girl's EX = ex-boyfriend. Was the scene at the end of the last episode just a joke?

This episode was incredible, The fight on the plane was very good, Narumi could defeat all the automatons inside the plane, but the bastards did not surrender so easily and Guy and Olympia had to get rid of them.
On the other hand, Shirogane demonstrated her incredible body and flexibility in a contest to win money for the opening of the circus, also Vilma seeks to know more about Shirogane, when they talk about men and love, Vilma manages to get some of the feelings that Shirogane had to Narumi.
Masaru also tries to know more about Liese, the animal tamer, she tells her tragic past and how she can no longer tame wild beasts, but Masaru encourages her to keep going.
It was a shame that the opening of the circus was canceled by the plane crash, but on the other hand our three protagonists were about to meet, but it was disappointing that Narumi left.

Really good episode, but probably under par compared to the previous seven episodes.

Everything about this episode just felt a little too hasty and rushed, particularly the transition changes between Narumi’s part and Masaru and Shirogane’s part and the somewhat inconclusive fight scenes.
Still, it managed to keep up with its intense atmosphere and moody feel. Shirogane winning an award for her incredible physique was to be expected and it was nice to see her then advertise her ‘family’. Masaru’s and Liese’s little conversation was a nice addition too, it’s nice to see Masaru rekindling some of her lost affections for her profession. Following this, Vilma seeking out the truth from Shirogane regarding Narumi and just the whole scene as a whole got really emotional instantly.
Meanwhile, Narumi, Guy and Lucille encountered some freaky automatas. I didn’t think they’d be willing to commit suicide like that but maybe that’s just how they’re programmed to be. It was weird in the beginning, no doubt but the intensity of the fight was a pleasure. Mad props to Guy there, he really played the ‘bad guy’ role but everything was for a heartfelt reason. I hope he makes it out alive though, things aren’t looking too great for him. The last scene where Narumi runs off, I’m guessing he’s running off to look for Guy. Speaking of Narumi, another great episode of Narumi special! He totally wrecked those nine challengers effortlessly. A lot of conflicting emotions as a whole between these two but I’m glad they were in the same page eventually. On the other hand, I’m not too fond of Lucille yet but this was a nice episode featuring her this time. Shirogane’s teacher being Guy though, what’s that all about? Are we going to see Lucille and Shirogane reunite?
Speaking of reunion, it was sad to see Shirogane rush over to the plane only to realise that she might have just seen things. When I saw the plane crash right in front of the circus, I was sure a reunion was awaiting. The following scene where Narumi saved both Shirogane and Masaru and then ran off was depressing. I’m sure we will see Narumi regain some of his important memories upon catching a glimpse of them and the following struggles. Shirogane throwing herself there to protect Masaru from the ‘hungry’ automata there was courageous though, I must say. Didn’t Masaru already somehow get the Aqua Vitae powers or is that not really how this mysterious liquid works? Well, I’d love to see some answers to this Qs as soon as possible.

Overall, aplenty of events occurred in this episode.
Perhaps, a little too many if you ask me. I’d preferred to see more of the intense fights during the plane journey and a slow approach to it all.

foi muito bom a luta. eu tinha visto a cena que só sobrava o braço dele em um amv. quando eu vi no anime, fiquei torcendo para ele voltar, porque é uma personagem muito dez. agora conforme ta trabalhando mais ele, ta aumentando.
.
eu espero que o outro de cabelo branco também volte vivo. rs. por mais que em parte é como se tirasse um pouco do senso de risco os personagens voltar, em outra parte seria legal desenvolver mais os personagens antes.
.
porque o os caras se machucando de verdade, e os riscos de morte causam uma tensão muito boa.
.
é disso que mais gostos em histórias. heróis que estão dispostos a se sacrificar de verdade pelo o que é certo, sem pensar nas consequências. herois que lutam contra o mal. rs

This episode, it seems a bit too rushed to me. Like they skipped at least a dozen of the manga chapter with just this one episode.

I was honestly glad that there wasn't a reunion.

If Masaru or Shirogane clearly made him out, that would be interesting for the upcoming episodes but still even with the blurred figure make out, base on my experience with anime and manga, I can still imagine how next and maybe, maybe, the following episode will go.

All in all, this was indeed an intense episode.

I seem that when they show Narumi, you can expect great things, scenes and or moments. Yep, great moments.

I'm glad they didn't meet, it would've been too soon for me. I kept on wishing they wouldn't while the episode was airing, my wish came through.

Guy was cool in this episode, I see hi. in a different light from now on. Too bad for Lucille on the side I really like that Shirogane.

Good episode,

Vilma making Shirogane acknowledge her feelings for Narumi, YAAAS, she's supports my OTP.

I hope Guy isn't dead, I think he also drank the Acqua Vitae which makes him, Narumi and Shirogane (Éléonore) immortal I think. That is why in the flash back he looks like he was holding Shirogane's hand while she was still a kid. He doesn't age. I think the same would ring true for both Narumi and Shirogane.

I was NOT expecting the plane to crash in front of the Nakamachi circus. What a reunion but that cliffhanger! Narumi even patted Masaru's head after saving him from that automaton!!!
