kevin_video said: That's what happens when the producers don't have any hindsight and just go on a "season by season" approach. They said "Hey, we don't have anything exciting happening yet, so, you know, let's kill this guy and spark things up." and someone else said "but he's not dead in the novel" to which the first replied "it's okay it's okay, he probably isn't THAT important, and we probably won't have to work on a third season anyway". This is what happens when you take too much unrestrained creative license while at the same time pretending to follow the original.Genix said: I liked this episode! :3 Also for you all that didn't like the fact that Coulbert didn't stayed "dead", was due because the anime is based after a Novel, and in the novel Coulbert never really died. Why does this NOT surprise me? I hate it when that happens. While season 2 had many flaws, one of them being Horny!Saito, it also had a little of a plot to fall back on, and the end slowly reedemed it. Plus, he still showed he cared a little. This season Saito we've had barebones of a plot, many ecchi (including a lot of Yuri), characters like Siesta becoming completely different without any kind of warning, and the two main characters just getting farther and farther apart with no real link between them other than they are Master and familiar. Up to now it's well on it's way of getting a 5 at most, unless the plot that finally surfaced redeems it in some form. |
 |
| this is a light hearted anime so maybe thats why they didn't want to kill off a character and have a happy ending just like how saito didn't die in season 2. also i think there were some hints that they wanted colbert back when they show how saito thinks back about colbert's dream to travel to saito's world. the rating does says for pg13 and if you don't like it then don't watch it. character hating is just so immature and without new relationship development then the anime would be boring. |
 |
| colbert's gettin some action man... lucky guy. looks like the story is goin somewhere i dont want it to... maybe. ill have to see how it turns out. |
     |
| louise is daring to sit like that. and colbert sensei is back for real siesta really is dragging this anime down... to be so impressed by the highness and yet think of saito as a possibility... lol @ louise's bad aiming... i thought it was some kind of snipeshooter xD kireke and colbert.... what a gap and they find out about tabitha, and she gets captured, and silpheed cannot do anything and the princess is worried about saito.... and louise may find out. deepens the plot |

DeathfireD said: NorthHawk said: Of course I've already been beaten several times over to saying that the 'fake death spell' they suddenly dropped on us... dumbest excuse ever. :| Maybe if there was some precedence and/or some sort of hint to that being the case... and that everyone's reactions became "lol ok ur not dead" after the first fifteen seconds... but as they did it, my God. :| Also, not sure why Saito's hiding the truth of the Henrietta kiss from Louise. It's like, what's worse, telling Louise knew Henrietta looked just like her, or letting her think Henrietta was just Henrietta? Stupid stupid Saito. Kirche's Colbert stalking thing was weird, too. Out of the blue, completely bizarre, no precedent, no reason, nothing. Geez. And the sword thing's claim that the eyeglass would strip him? Why? Where did that come from? Bizarre. All in all, a nonsensical, convulted episode beyond what I've even come to expect from the show. The one thing I'll put in for a decent plus is the Henrietta/Saito relationship post-kiss, 'specially on Henrietta's end. It's one thing that's really got my attention. The rest just annoys me. I agree 100%, my mouth was wide open the whole time trying to make sense of where the hell this series is going. They brought back a dead guy with the lamest excuse and had him build an air ship in secret for no apparent reason at all. Everyone accepts that the dead guy is alive and treats it like it's nothing big. They made the sex driven ho of school fall in love with someone old enough to be her father, someone who she never would have liked in the past two series......It feels like a lot was left out and I can only guess the novel does a way better job of making it all flow together. Does anyone else feel like they have two different sets of staff making this series right now? One set of staff members that want to have a plot and answer past questions and another that just wants to have pure ecchiness, WTF moments, and to answer things half assed. Because that's exactly how I feel when I started this series and compare it to the past two. My thoughts exactly~ Couldn't have summed up what was running through my mind better. |
| Finally, Tabitha's younger sister is next. What's happening in this series. Looks like the half is just plain senseless and the other half is development? What?! |

Kvakond said: I mean that was the lamest come back/not actually dead scene in television history. Yeah, pretty much what I thought. They explained how (which was, well, crap) but they didn't explain why. What was the point in all of that? Also, the Colbert and Kirche thing? Even more random than the Henrietta liking Saito thing.

De-JaY said: This episode was kinda boring. :/ Plus, Colbert and Kirche. RANDOM SHIT LOLWUUUUT?! Well I had this series on hold, but I've returned to complete it. I have to finish it sooner or later, at leas this didn't end with an abrupt "SAITOOO DIE DOG", Louise did a responsible thing. Ha, next episode ;__; |
 |
| Not the greatest ZnT episode, and they might as well have left Colbert dead with that explanation for him actually being alive. |
| I thought Colbert was dead, but the plane that appeared in the earlier episodes should've made it obvious that he's still alive. |
 |
Uuchie said: So Tabitha casted a fake death spell and nobody was told sooner because of a lack of opportunity. That's gotta be the lamest excuse for a plot reversal ever... (-.-) Other than that the ep was nice as usuall. |
| Argh, just not a fan of Louise. I like Henrietta and Tifa.. I feel bad for Henrietta. Of course Louise will win in the end, but I can still hope otherwise :-| This episode was decent. 7/10 |

| Wow have i seen some maturing in our self-centered spoiled little lady Louise ? i cant believe it somehow. She will definitely screw this in next episode and will continue as my most unsympathized main character from all of 186 Ani-series/movies i've seen :p kidding i got huge welcoming heart, maybe }:-b "fufufuffuuf fufu fu" |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| COLBERT WITH KIRCHE? WHAT THE FUCK? Did I just skip a season? |
 |
| Well the Colbert/Kirche thing was a bit of a surprise (if you didn't spoil yourself by reading the character summaries), but it would explain why Kirche has not been nearly as noticeable since Colbert's "death". My guess would be some of that was nursing him back to health followed by trying to persuade him to return Kirche's affection. In the good old days of aristrocracies it was not unknown for high ranking young women to sow a few wild oats, then get married to a respectable older man and settle down into a life in which they became the enforcers of morality (many a dowager duchess owed her origins to this type of history). Colbert looks unconvinced, but my guess is that Kirche can be amazingly persuasive... As for Henrietta, they need to get her tied up in a state marriage pretty soon. As a reigning monarch, she can't afford the luxury of marrying for love. Saito's standing as a hero and a newly enobled chevalier makes him a barely possible match for the third daughter of a high ranking family (Louise for instance)--particularly if he eventually is granted a title with attached lands. |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| welp up until now i can still say the sword Derflinger is still my favorite 'character' lol, everyone else is fucking useless.... |
| Man everyone seems to want a piece of some Saito. |
 |
| lolwut, Colbert is still alive, and apparently Kirche wants some Colbert D. What kind of plot twist is this?? Man, Saito's ass was so saved by the magnifying glass... ended up not revealing what he did to Louise and Siesta xD |
 |
| ther4e's going to be a cat fight between Louise and the Queen XD |
 |
| Come on Louise! Don't get NTR by the princess for fuck sake! Could the princess have made it clearer that she wet her pant when she see Saito. Seriously, even a blind man would see that if it wasn't of Louise, she'd jump on him. So Kirchedig old men, uh? That's really... odd x) It creep me out for some reason :P Damn, Tabitha never catch a break xD A new elf. Maybe he knows Tiffania somehow? |

| The queen is an ass. |
 |
| So there wasn't really a good explanation why Colbert's alive... not that anybody seems to care apparently. |
| First of all, how is Colbert alive.. By some magic stuff? Seems like they regret they aired that episode.. And the way they solved this, was completely ridiculous.. I mean, Kirchie and Colbert..... Really? Then there's the queen and Saito.. YES!! I'd love to see sparks between them! And then there's the gigantic airship.. How is it possible to build that in about a week? *Spoiler* It's not. |

Gator said: So there wasn't really a good explanation why Colbert's alive... not that anybody seems to care apparently. They did explain it.. Tho doesnt mean it is a great reason but they did explain tabitha saved him with a spell? But how? We saw her there right and i havent seen her cast a spell? @_@ maybe i should rewatch the episode to check if she was doing something or was gone.. Syndrical said: The queen is an ass. I agree.. I mean louise and henrietta are best friends right? So is she going to abuse her status and get saito? Hope not.. But it seems like it :( and she got over wales so quickly.. = ruined a great scene as i did felt sad for her back then bloodiemonster said: ther4e's going to be a cat fight between Louise and the Queen XD Yeah most likely going to happen.. Tho maybe not as louise is into the honor and status of nobility thing.. And it means a great deal to her so probably henrietta will get saito? If she is going to be mean that is.. And abuse her status |

Yeah, I appreciated that they gave a basic reason, but they didn't explain *why* they did it. Why would she have up and decided, seemingly on the spot, to make him appear dead? Unlikely they'll actually explain it, sadly. Good episode, though. |

Cause shes just smart like that =P and came up with it...? and yes I doubt it gets explained it is best to read the light novel for that reason :) but if im not mistaken this all happened differently in the LN |
|
| So they Used magic to fake dead/to trick people u are dead… okey then.. Kirche and Colbert getting ecchi, didnt see that one coming did ya xD WTF "..a Item the drips a man of everything!?" lmao As i said, Shit is getting interesting now O.O Quite an episode. Still trust issues with Louise an Saito tho, :/ well thats gonna keep on forever..(i hope not) Shit is about to happend i can tell |

This show is just begging me to bump it down to an 8 or possibly 7. T_T Make that +2 for me as I agree with you and the OP of this post. |

| ... If I could give this anime a score of under 1, I would. Fucking bullshit, dead characters being raised like it's nothing. |
| Looks like Colbert didn't really die that day, it was just a fake. Anyway, seems like Saito is in a predicament, the Queen looks like she's really in love with Saito... ah man.. |

| Plenty of funny scenes this episode especially Kirche + Colbert. lol I vouch for Henrietta if she's part of the game too. She and Saito are a good match IMO. |
| Since when was Zerbst in love with the baldie again? I don't recall much from last season tbh. |
 |
| I dont know what to think about this reveal, I do like Colbert and have been wondering what Kirche has been up to.. but if Im honest this doesnt sit right with me, it just weirds me out. Not even mentioning the Kirche x Colbert pairing of all things. It just ruins his death in S2 for no real reason. This is such a stupid retcon I originally thought he would be revealed to be his (twin) brother. |
