I don't know... I have to agree with other commenters in that I didn't particularly enjoy the episode that much. It just seemed... lacking. Overall. In many areas... Animation was still fantastic and top-of-the-line, but the fighting scenes weren't even that entertaining; they weren't even really "fights" but one side getting beat up by the other. And there seemed to be very little character development, except for a lady of the inner sanctuary who's had all of five minutes of screen time - as a side character.

Crossing my fingers that the final episode will be truly spectacular. High hopes!

Damn, another hard to watch and sad episode
I love this anime, but it's definitely hard to watch at this point.
If she isn't rescued in the last episode I don't know what I'll think about this anime.
I wan't him to use his elbow blade in a fight.

Damn the rescue mission was a fail :| I really wonder what they'll do next with the next episode being the last and all, let's hope for a good conclusion!

This shounen-like elements doesn't suit this anime and this whole "I wanna protect her" and "I promised her" stuff doesn't fit to someone like Shinkurou who is just weak as hell. I can't really say wether it is Shinkurou that is the problem or the writing itself. Since episode 9 the development is just unbelievable.

In the last episode he didn't want to rescue her at all, but the after some flashbacks he had his resolve. But he was still weak and now he flees the scene after someone got killed, because of him. And now after a senseless retreat he rushes once again to rescue the little girl.

"Please wait for me in a warm room, Mother" damn Ryuuji said that to his step-mom... don't you think they're fucking? damn the incest is heavy on this one.

*sigh* really? Shinkurou is really pathetic.. and I didn't expect Benika to be like that too.. I mean why didn't you guys brought some weapon? wtf. Those guys can even kill their own without flinching and you think you can defeat them bare handed? smfh..

Pretty useless episode since from the start to the end nothing changed except for the death of a woman. Literally you could cut this episode and episode 12 would be fine probably.

Shinkurou as supposed to be a martial artist but the way he fights in the past few episodes is like a newbie who just had his first actual fight where his opponent has the intent to kill.
His dull appearance and his unmotivated voice makes it worse
