THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
~Yawn...no Ryou...lol just kidding though I gotta admit I missed him a great deal.

So....more suspicious Shinji and Drei is trying to act on his own. Yuuichi being sweet Yuuichi and Mahiro blushes? >///<

Takuma finds something happening to his powers. Vier reveals herself. Not much of a reaction from them on that. Animation still crappy in certain places.

Tamaki trying to be useful and finds out they'll only awaken when she becomes a true hime.

It took 9 episodes to realize that...how many more for her to awaken lol? XD

As it went in the game, the third artifact was also stolen....and I still don't get how Takuma's gonna be the main guy. He's been kinda sidetracked in the last few episodes. Only the end did something make sense.

Oh yea...and no Ryou. Sniff. There had better lots of Ryou in the next episode!

So cheesy yet nice. Nice battleish episode and finally confirmation of
. The visuals for battles are so flashy and sound well, for both protagonists and antagonists.

When Tamayuri hime awakens I can't imagine how well and powerful the abilities will become.

Eins really defeated the mountain god, come on?!?! On top of that they took the artefact without Tamayori guys saying one damn thing.

Vier revealed herself which was stupid.

Glasses guy wanted to help Tamaki and I can't believe that the guardians tried to stop him. I really hope she awakens soon, it takes too long and Tamayori guys keep losing the fighst and their face.

The enemy wanting to act out and ignore the order just because she's just a kid.

Mountain God appearing, and red hair guy calmed him down.

Tamaki is learning about the legend by herself, and stayed up all night.

Kouhai guardian first came after Tamaki, but everyone else didn't go to normal place to eat. Short sempai guardian still cares about what Tamaki said.

The enemy moved and Tamaki and the two guardians (kouhai and sleepy) sensed them. Long hair guy also came.

Thought so, I've been sensing that pretty sensei is that woman in enemy's group. So her name in Germany is white lie. She stopped that guy.

Seal = Tamayori hime and a guy's blood? There's problem with seal. Guardian's power would awake when she awake her Tamayorihime power... she finally found the truth. The gov. guy wanting to mess with Tamaki's brain? Red hair guy came to protect her, as well as short sempai. So it's those male enemies are the reason for Mountain God's anger. Then followed by other guardians. While that, red hair guardian's fire got changed by Tamaki's grasp?

Preview is short sempai guardian.

it was kind of obvious that fiona-senseai was vier

really interesting what happened to takuma's hand toward the end, i hope it's a sign of him gaining his true powers

and i really want tamaki to unlock her tamayori potential so that the guardians can finally stop getting their asses handed to them every fight

So they finally made sure Fiona is the enemy. However Tamaki still didn't awaken as the tamayori and guardians lost without a fight...again. So much for guarding ^^

Oh my gosh...

A chilling thought occurred to me when Tamaki was flicking through the book entitled "Ceremonial Offerings" and noticed the same thing was being written by many different people:

What if each of the people who wrote in that particular were the "ceremonial offering" themselves (in order to help maintain the seal perhaps)?

That means a lot of human sacrifices... :O.

I'm also very intrigued as to what's happening with Takuma. Will he be getting a power upgrade soon? LOL :).

I rather expect that there will need to be a blood sacrifice in order to reset the seals, but isn't Tamaki the next princess? I believe it will be her grandmother who pays the price.

Although Vier says she is Tamaki's enemy, I get the vibe that both she and Monado may be capable of switching sides down the road. Drei on the other hand will have to be dealt with severely.

And what's with the creepy guy from the ministry of health? If he truly represents the interests of Imperial Family, I would think he would be a lot more gung ho about defeating Logos and restoring peace and harmony.

So Fiona-sensei finally revealed herself. It was kind of obvious that she was Vier, to be honest. I have this feeling that Drei is the actual bad guy here, and that Monado and Vier (and maybe even the other two?) will join Tamaki's side.

This show is finally starting to get interesting. ^^ I thought of dropping it somewhere around episode 6, but now I can't wait for the next episode!

Everything you said here was my thought process.

PLUS...

The "what are you REALLY up to?" list:
- Shinji - what's your deal... why are you having secret meetings in the woods and what are you hiding?
- Kiyono Takara/Glasses bia - Why are you always asking questions all sketchily, are always butting in when convos get REAL, and WTF is your deal with dolls and shit.
- Ryou- why are you so hot? Why do you not trust Shinji.. (..what do you know mang?)?? Why do I trust you even though we don't know SHIT about you? Why are you so hot?

Decent ep. Shit's finally happening.

Well, I'm pretty sure that we're getting somewhere. Hopefully Miss Tamayori Princess will step up and crack some sku—er, help out the guys soon. I doubt that she'll do any "serious" fighting, but I wouldn't be surprised if she ended up awakening and was overpowered.



That freaky guy from the MoH: What in the world is his damage? I would like to know soon. Preferably some way other than him jumping Tamaki because she's walking around at night, alone, like she has no common sense.

Why Ryou didn't appear int this ep? Ok, there were some cute moments with Yuuichi and Mahiro but without Ryou it's not the same *sigh*
No cure for my obsession this time.

Well from the hairstyle its already a 90% chance that Fiona Sensei was Vier . At least the story is finally moving forward , that itself makes me wanna continue watching , still along way to go though. I feel that the whole series could be fit into 13 episodes if they wanted to.

I swear I've seen this for half the series:
<Guardians> "They're too strong, we can't protect anything..."
<Tamaki> "Cheer up guys! We will protect the seal!"
<Drei> "'Why are we not capturing all the artifacts right now?"
<Numerous People> "Why are the Logos holding back?"

Still a decent episode though, needed more Mountain God. The Fiona-sensei/Vier and Drei scene was the highlight though.

This one I thought was one of the most interesting episodes so far. I'm glad they finally know that the teacher is also the enemy. It was annoying me how they hadn't figured it out yet.

Ok, I now "Fiona" is derived from the meaning "white" (it's not the direct translation though). But there absolutely isn't a word such as "Ashum" in german. o.O
And it definetely doesn't mean "lie". Where did they come up with this?
Bad german in anime/manga is one thing, but now they're even making things up? I guess "Fiona Lüge" didn't sound as cool.

@Kuchenlight lol i found the same thing when I looked into "fiona ashum". Although I did dig a little more and has come up with a semi-plausible explanation. If some random google word searches are to be trusted, then the german word for "deceive" is täuschen which could sound like "ashum" when a japanese v/a said it. Like I said, this is just a semi-plausible explanation and nowhere near perfect, but if nothing else at least it was an interesting search for me and allows me to accept her name as is.

the amount of sketchy characters in this show is so disorienting like I can't figure out if I'm legitimately onto something by suspecting these people or if they are just weird af lmao

Other than Fiona-sensei (who we all already knew was Vier -_-),
Ryou (since he's obviously mysterious),
and the untrustworthy "government official" who's always munching biscuits,

I found Mitsuru-chan weird and suspicious from the start, but maybe that's just me.

Then there's Tamaki's school friend with the green hair, Kiyono-chan. Idk.

Lastly, is anyone else expecting a 360˚ flip from innocent little Inukai... lol?

There again- isn't much progress in the plot. The fmc is weak, there is no depth in any of the main characters.
