when natalia said won't it be hard for you guys to fight my father out of consideration for me, i wished so badly that one of them said, nah not really.

edit: and the dumbness reoccurs. return to your senses even though you are a giant beetle/spider monster.

They suddenly started showing the names of the attacks in this episode. How late is it to do that now? Oh whatever.

I think they are keeping their budget for the finale.

I LOLed when I saw the names! It felt like watching an actual RPG.

Decent episode.... but not half as good as it could be imo.

Liked the incorporation of skills there although it felt a bit rushed seems the final show down is going to get dragged over 3 episodes D:

Why the hell didn't they start with the special attacks before the end? Seriously, it doesn't even makes sense... I'm looking forward to the battle Luke against Asch, showed in the opening of the series.

Yeah as i said in the previous post, that is one thing that is severely lacking the anime is the action. The first half of the series did a better job in that department, but its slowly just becoming short little bouts that last no longer then a few seconds, kind of anti climatic if you ask me. Mohs and largo's defeat was kind of rushed, compared to the game. I hope the final battle at least is good. Still its nice that they are showing some of stronger arts. I hope they show luke's final art during the final battle. That will be awesome to see.

and of course the real moment here is that natalia finally knows who her real father is.

Now onto the final area of the story.

Well.. the second half mainly focuses on the talks and debates during the fight than action.
They make it look like largo and that fatty are deliberately looking for death when they fight.
For a monster that can blow a island to pieces to die in on attack.. hard to believe.
Largo who said not to show pity stop his sword before stabbing Luke himself..
Not to mention him letting Natalia take a direct hit and died like that lol.
They've been weeding out the bad guys like tofu in a rush.

I know that Mohs boss fight, for me, was super easy to deal with, but this is just very disappointing. These major boss battles are lacking in content, and are anti-climatic as hell. They make them seem so weak when they're anything but that. I liked the first half of the series much better for this Anime adaptation.

And speaking of Mohs, what a poor bastard. Despite how rotten and disgusting he was, the hideous monster he got transformed to, and the pathetic state as he passed on was just pitiable. It is funny, how obsession and overzealous desires can lead to such a sorry state and end.

The most frustrating thing about this anime for me is that Luke never grows stronger like combat wise at all. Yeah, he grows emotionally and finds the resolve to kill his enemies but he hasn't grown any stronger since ep 1 which is really bothering tf out of me for some reason.
