THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
BEST EPISODE! The action was what I was wanted and I GOT IT! Simple as that. Looks like Rick in the following,

Along with the spoiler
becomes a ANGEL WTF IS GOING NOW?. WTF seriously. That was the best WTF TBH. I would never think that magic + Angelic references would be added in this series. Quite surprising but not in general. It was used many many times in RPGs and other animes dealing with that term. That being said it was still nice to see him in the spoiler
the wings are well done IMO. Rick fighting is well done TBH with the wings as a added element.

Other than that her are my thoughts from start to finish as the episode went along.

About the beginning, I find the start really freaky. For one all these Lizards and black portal in the spoiler
is rather fearful TBH. It’s obvious in my head “MOBS COMING! EXP TIME!” was really what went on. I really wonder if that’s how the game starts instead cause it’s obvious to have a RPG you need those monsters to gain exp, right? So I was thinking of that exactly. Moreover the doll and Kaguya gave out excellent expressions in the spoiler
for I did fear much for Kaguya’s safety at this point.

About random stuff, I find the ship in the spoiler
to be rather well done there from the view of a satellite and the soldier here is well done.

Rick’s sword and meeting with the Prince. The best there was obviously the artistic designs of in the spoiler
of Rick’s sword. I did not like seeing Hans and Xiao-Mei like that captured but it was expected from the last episode. I did like seeing more of the Prince talking.

About battlefield part 1, really well done in the spoiler
the doll dodging the beams and the ship firing continues to excite me and have me glue to the screen. The caravan moving ant atmosphere in general is well represented from the point of those light beam towers.

About the battlefielsd part 2, the second part deals for me with the girls in the spoiler
not only are they shown so well with a fire fight of powers behind them but their expressions were rich along with some showings of Hans/Xiao-Mei struggling to make it through. The girls leaving Rick was a little nostalgic but they have confidence in him.

About Rick and the princess, I liked her a lot in the following,

Straight show out of her full frontal shows how nice of a body she has. Among my favorite parts with her is the Rick x Princess along with the Princess casting the magic in the spoiler
both translated into spicy romance and AMAZING SFX! Pretty much.
Notice the Principalities of the TRIFORCE from Zelda on the Princess magic symbols. There all around there. It’s hard to believe that Rick’s suffering and the way the Princess looked at him here, was rather not adding up, at least not the mood it was set. By spicy romance I mean in the spoiler
seeing Rick like that and all with the Princess. All that was missing is them being alone. Rick running in the forest was cool to see.

About before war preparations, it was rather well setup before ti all climaxes in the spoiler
in various factors. For one seeing the pirates was nice and balanced out here and there. For 2 seeing the kid with the woman of the bar. That is nostalgic especially with the kid giving bread to Rick T_T damn I am sorry but to me it looked like a last gift to him before SHIT HITS THE FANS of Rick. For 3 seeing more Hans and Xiao-Mei is always good. Finally nice to see the Prince playing his harp in the spoiler
that’s always nice to see being played as a instrument.

About the final fight! Final fight has so much but in general in the spoiler
the explosions, SFX and Pirates were ALL KICK ASS! Really kick ass stuff man! Exactly as I wanted and exactly ass I hoped for. Seems all is going according to my wishes.

Finally I hope to see a very wishful ending. At least one element of it that I want. Seeing Rick the girls in a HAREM! Or at least a triple kiss.

Attack stopped why Kagura came. Lizard head monsters appear and called her Sakuya. And they want the stones that Queen doll gave to cat girl.

So those people came at red moon? Outside world people... Riku is wondering about himself, too. Even the girls, too? Riku and everyone got called by the prince, and the sword is returned so that he can get Kagura back. Knowing that he cannot bake bread anymore, he ordered him to be knight.

When Queen is about to escape with Kagura, that mysterious black thing caught Kagura.

Girls, not knowing his worry before, are very generous and wanting him to be honest to himself. The princess, who was ordered to accompany Riku was already there. And they also baked breads for him.

Prince was waiting for those outsider that can help protecting the island. The pirates are back on track.

Those two thieves escaped. Wow, he got a tank?

The reason the princess has the book because she has a spell to give memory back, and he grew wings!

The doll sacrificed herself so that Riku can get Kagura back.

The inserted song by Lia was beautiful.

July 5, 2012 3:25 am next ep., so no ep. next week.

I want to see that tank hank made in action and Rick destroyed those guns and went through the ship in Angel Wings, with memories returned.

Next ep is pretty much signaling a bittersweet ending at best, a sad one at worse and Maedera's bakery is closed. It's also going to pretty much be an original ending.

Oh nice! Perhaps it would be interesting to compare that to the original ED of the game and the differences along with what values did they bring out. I for one must say now that the MOE of the girls was overwhelming.

Did she just cast float?

Anyway, nice to see the action at the end of the episode. I liked this show a lot, especially the visuals and the ED has to be my favorite barring none. Hopefully the conclusion is done well.

Thing i wondered about most was the flashback where Madara mentioned they could have fought each other in the past.
That flashback could have been real but it could also have been fake, it would be very interesting if it where real tho.
Maybe the power of the girls are equal in power compared to Rick's still the burning in the background concerned me a bit tho.

This anime is actually more fun and interesting than the game version.. At least I don't have to bake bread again and again like in the game. There is also a reason why this series looks so boring, it is because the setting (specifically, the world that is Wyndaria Island located).

I wonder how the anime version will end, hoping it is better than the game ending.

Rick can't bake bread anymore, so he instead becomes Angel of Death. While dodging auto-firing death ray cannon he smashes metal battleships with a swing of his sword.

Some seriously bad scene transitions most of the episode, very distracting. But, as long as I don't take it to seriously, it's not to bad.

Not enough Xiao-Mei, at any rate.

Yeah, though somehow it jumped into the realms of so bad it's good. Or maybe I was just in the appropriate mood... at any rate, I'll say that I'm enjoying this shit.

Somehow this reminds me a bit of Excel Saga... I wonder why...

I got mad when Rick was like "I can't fight" because of his obsession with baking bread, but luckily the girls got him to realize that he needs to fight the manlizardpirates.

Even though this series is full of boring crap, scenes like the second half this episode somewhat redeem the series.

I hope they reveal some memories in the next episode or I'm giving this show a lower rating. lmao

This show is so terrible. At the very least everyone in Rick's party from the game should be fighting along with him. Sigh. They better give Yukarin a lot of lines in the last episode. Otherwise, why even cast her as Mistral? A horrible effort by Production IG to say the least.

What Ric really needed to have a variation of power from Banana no Nana. You know, instead of materializing bananas he can make bread and then fight with it. :D

There is lot of difference between the game and the anime stories, it looks like the anime story is written from scratch while keeping most important things from the game.Though as player of the game version, I still think episode 5 is definitely a filler episode.

I hope these missing characters are going to made an appearance in the last episode.

The ending feels exactly like Shining Tears x Wind of this episode compared to that series second to last episode... I'm glad they kept the feelings the same series to series... it reminds me of older anime's styles and brings a warm smile to my face. It's well made. :)

Oh wait, there was a plot?

Botched adaptation. Will Shining series ever get something decent?

If I have to make a judgment in all sincerity, I'd say I have not warned in any way the tense atmosphere that should be there in a moment like this similar.
Narrative lacks the pathos even if it was not bad the moment when Rick gets powers from Rufina.
Drawings and animations excellent, even the OST is catchy. Let's see how the anime ends.
