Judging by the way this episode ended, I think we are really going to see the meccha element come into place now.

Very nice episode, I didn't know the mecha stuff appeared in this first season.

Once upon a time, there were magical girls that piloted mechs. Hey, it's creative! xD

I liked this episode. But seeing as the power of every single Rune-God has defeated any enemy (this time being Lord Zagato himself), I wonder where the challenge will be when trying to rescue Princess Emeraude. If they just can run in and save her, that would be a very anticlimactic and frankly underwhelming ending.

Kickass way to get their final Rune God. [Also, how dumb am I? I was all shocked that Hikaru's is named Rayearth. I should've seen that coming a mile away.]

I gotta admit, I was grinning from ear to ear right after finishing this episode. Magical girl mecha pilots is indeed a cool concept. Their final armors and weapons looked great too.

The final two episodes apparently aired back-to-back as a one hour season finale, and I intend to watch it as such.

Also, to those who mentioned it above, Zagato wasn't defeated in this episode. His strongest spell in human form was simply blocked. I say "in human form" because I'm sure the enemy mecha in the opening is his.

Anyway, looking forward to the finale.

This is actually my second Mahou Shoujo Mecha anime. Back in 2015 I was looking for Mahou Shoujo Mecha anime (don't ask why) and found Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Yuna: Kanashimi no Siren. Too bad no one on the internet mentioned this one...

Their armour is complete and looks so good! Looks like the mecha stuff is going to be used now. The girls are on their way to Zagato! Let's see how the final battle turns out!

Their new armor looks cool, but it makes little difference as they are piloting the mechs now. Still not sure how I feel about this mech angle, but overall I'm enjoying the anime.

While there wasn't much, the confrontation with Zagato so far has been pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing the final battle.

At long last, Zagato is finally doing something instead of just sitting around and chatting with Emeraude. If only he'd actually attacked the Magic Knights a dozen episodes earlier like anyone with a working brain would have. He couldn't have chosen a worse time to finally show up, though. Seriously, did he learn nothing from Clef and Inouva? You'd have thought that after the last two times a villain attacked in a shrine and inadvertently helped the Magic Knights revive a Rune-God he might have figured out that was a bad idea, but apparently not. Given how often the characters are morons in this, though, it doesn't surprise me.

I really wish this anime wasn't so formulaic - the exact same thing happened this time as in the last two Rune-God episodes. Magic Knights reach shrine, the relevant one gets pulled inside and told to prove the strength of her heart or whatever by the Rune-God (repeatedly). Then, the villain appears and defeats the other two! Oh no! The relevant knight runs out to defend her friends and gets offered a chance to escape but refuses, and this awakens the Rune-God who defeats the villain for them. And, at the end of it all, everyone's weapons and armour levels up. Come on, at least try to do something different.

Rayearth looks cooler as a robot than an animal for a change but it isn't anything I havent seen before in this show. At least we reached the climax.

The mechas all look badass, so does the new set of armor.

We all know what happens to strong characters when they get overconfident and say shit like this...



At least he defeated Lafraudga.
