Next episode might be the last but it seems more like a 4th Season looming around.

At least that's what most of us hope! :P

Saito does seem to want to sleep with Loiuse alot... Perhaps they will actually get to do it in the novel? One can only hope ^_^
This episode was pretty funny btw.

Also, will episode "13" be like an OVA or something?

EDIT: Odd... the text in this post appears to be "Bold" even though i didn't add any tags...

what a waste of time....I can't believe this is how it's going to end. I honestly hope, if they make a 4th series, that it's better then this train wreck.

I'm happy I wasn't losing it when I thought the show was being written by two different people. Thanks to Angel999 now I know there's a new writer and thats why this series sucked ass.

isn't 13 a DVD only episode? I read it somewhere but I forgot where.

For your information all I read about 13 is that it was to be aired uncensored to promote DVD sales but instead was opted as a extra episode that is to happen between 6~7~8 of this season about Taba-chan.

Glad to be of help to anyone ^_^ if there is ANYTHING PLEASE ASK ME. I AM HERE AND EVERYWHERE TO TRY AND HELP IN MANY WAYS.

The first half of this episode was SO painful to watch. I felt incredibly uncomfortable viewing it. It got a lot better though when the fighting started. All I can say is that the final episode better be worth all this.

Meh. That's just about all I can say about this episode. I really didn't expect a lot from this season, after the disappointment I had with the second. Still the last episode might just be surprisingly good. But... judging from what's happened so far, I don't think that's gonna happen.

I thought that this episode was somewhat a disappointment for myself. So far, this third season had a little too much fanservice in its story and this episode unfortunely continues this trend. Also, they really rush in having Heinretta pardon Colbert and the others without an explanation and I didn't like how the situation between Agnes and Colbert unfolded in this episode.

Eechi to the max - and sadly, I've already voiced my opinions on that too many times this series. It's just died for me, the magic is gone (pun not intended). I think the majority of us are just watching it for the old show that we loved long ago.

The battle was refreshing, but as sakuko said it seemed half hearted in the end, which was depressing. In fact sakuko's discussion of scriptwriters is golden and probably true. XD

angel999, is that really true that the guy that did the first 2 seasons left?? If so, that would make SO MUCH sense.


Read that info here: h**p://www.sankakucomplex.com......so you can check if you want.


Sounds like they need to get a new writer for the upcoming fourth season, because this third season had too many disappointments.

Whoever did the writing for this episode must be shot and hanged. It's soooooo fucking unrealistic and contradicting, it just ruined my image of ZnT... it was going so well.. 8 is good... 9 is amazing.... 10 is not bad... but 11? Screw that!

Because of that I dropped the rating from 9 to 7 -_-..

The preview isn't exciting either... haiz.... 12 better be a good episode... lets see a miracle like 2nd season's last episode...

I suspect a sexual scene of louise and saito at the end of episode 12 O_o

Episode 12 - Lelouche steps in and abduct Saito the Knight of Zero (Louise) via geass and make him replace spinzaku as the Knight of Zero (Knight of Rounds). Without Saito's help, the crazy golem proceed to pwn everyone in the world. The end.

>_> Are you God?

What I find scary is that this series is still ranked higher than the second series, which I thoroughly enjoyed minus the atrocious ending.

After seeing this season, I'm really not too sure I even want a fourth season. I can't see it getting much better unless the replace their entire writing team, and I can't see them doing that.

What angers me the most is it's taken them up to episode 9 to even get a plot going. There is so much more they could have done with this season, but instead it's felt like I could have set up a charity organisation to feed orphans and done something worth while in the time I've been watching this.

After the ending of last season and what this season has been like, I hold no hope for any decency in the next episode. Lets just hope it is a bit more painless than this episode.

The problem is that they love the cliches too much.

Saito getting kicked in the balls is a cliche.

All the males getting turned on by partial nudity is a cliche.

They spend time on the cliches, and they don't have time to develop:

1) Louise's internal emotional conflicts;

2) Louise's magical development;

3) Colbert and gunpowder girl's emotional tension;

4) The nature of elven magic;

etc.

They *tried* to develop Louise's character in this episode.

A) Louise tried to get Saito to look at her;

B) Louise tried to chat up the baron to get him drunk/potioned -- in order to show that she's an independent woman who can undertake missions on her own.

These were feeble attempts at showing Louise growing as a character. IMHO these attempts failed miserably.

Both of you did raise good points on the fanservice and cliches. Hopefully, if they make a fourth season there will be less fanservice and a better plot development. ^^

I just wanted to tell you something I though. Maybe they just wanted money so when they make 4th season they don't have to put much to make money such as the fanservice BUT to do this to whole season is a BIT TOO MUCH if you ask me. This series is quite popular in Japan so doing that is bad to the fans.


yeh! maby next season itl be all searious like hellsing or something and theyll actually KILL someone... no? well it IS a good idea about the echii... i hope ur right, and next season there'll be a bit more storey... but has tehre ever been much?

Eh, the first half of this episode was way messed up~ However I did appreciate the fact that Kirche recognizes Louise and their friends. And I'm glad there's no more blowing Saito up - although, I'm pretty sure Louise doesn't want kids. And if she does - well she's not getting any from Saito at least. How many times has he been hardcore sacked already? Tabitha and the whole rescue was sweet. In my opinion - the elves are the best characters xD

that dancing scenes were horrible ecchi,that was too much.
Ok I liked the part where Saito jumped on Louise because she teased him so much ; D

In this episode I preffered the action and the emotional parts.
