My little speculation
Tabassa has another difficult assignment. She probably has to face another dragon. Poor girl. Good thing that Kirche's there to help her.
In the middle of the assignment she is ambushed by assassins. I suspect that all of the plotting and assassination attempts are somehow related to that guy who freed Longville-san.
My hopes & expectations
Not much. But I suspect that the title Louise's transformation has more to do with Louise's magic powers then the love potion.
Hmm... I wonder were Louise is when Saito and Montmorency are in Charlotte's country fighting with... uhh... mud apparently.
One thing I really want is some development in the evil department. Two episodes of just fun & play are enough, it's about time things started moving.

I think this may happen in this episode
Saitoh will probably anger both Louise and Siesta for different reasons Louise because she thinks Saitoh will go see Siesta and Siesta because of Louise's love love attitude and I bet Saitoh will probably blackmail Montmorency into finding a cure and from last week preview maybe Tabitha and Kirche will meet up with them somewhere of course Louise will be cured and she will show her "grateful" attitude lol

didn't the Q&A here say monday? lol
Hopefully, they'll do the love potion story right. In the next episode, I look forward to seeing,
1. Louise's baby-talk
2. The monster sweater/scarf/mystery item that Louise knitted for Saito
3. A lot of kiss marks
4. Naked Montmorency
5. Louise hugging onto Saito throughout the ENTIRE episode
I'm counting on you, J.C.Staff. :heh:
Let's see, out of the 5 items, they managed to complete 4 of them. Too bad they had to substitute the night of kiss marks :heh: with only a playful bite instead.
Siesta's jealousy was nice too, although it could'be been fleshed out more (they could've included the part where Siesta crushed Saito's foot while wearing a big smile on her face :heh: ).
The overall flow of the episode was nice, but compared to the other episodes, this one does feel slightly rushed: packing everything into one episode meant they had to cut back and forth between the lovey dovey moe scenes and serious drama scenes relatively quickly, reducing the impacts of both.
But still, 100% for Louise's dere dere mode. Her reaction after returning to normal is also fun to watch. ^^
Next episode, here comes Mr. who-you-callin'-an-old-man?, Waldo. It looks like the final 4 episodes is going to be devoted to volume 2 and 3. Hmm, it just might work.
When do they say if there will be a second season considering there is only 5 more to go before it ends.

They cut so many details I can't help but think this anime is more of a trailer for the novels than a story in its own right. Well, its not a bad series still, despite being terribly rushed.
I highly recommend the novels to anyone studying Japanese. They have furigana on many words, and you can always skip over the intrigue parts that are harder to read if you need to, while still enjoying the romantic and moe scenes which are in the most basic Japanese.

I don't think it's that bad at all. Compared to the crap I had to see from Higurashi, this anime is 500 times better. The things they cut out here were all within acceptable levels.
Shana was pretty much the same too, imo J.C. Staff is actually one of the better companies at creating anime adaptations of novel originals.

Episode 09 Screencaps and Summary (http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2006/08/27/zero-no-tsukaima-09/)
The first half of the episode was pretty funny - the part with Louise biting Saito's neck was great. I do wish we could have seen more of Siesta getting angry, but oh well. I'm glad that they're forming a story here at least, one that looks like it'll carry the series through to the end. As for the discussion about the novels, I have to say that that's why I always read stuff after I see the anime - in order to get the most enjoyment from both sources.

Haha, lol, I would hate to sound like one of those people who read the manga then rag on the anime version incessantly. I agree the show is still good, absolutely. otoh, I'm sure that noone would complain were it to be twice as long with more juicy details.
I think I prefer it this way: I'd rather not spoil the novels by watching the anime first, hehe.
I don't think it's that bad at all. Compared to the crap I had to see from Higurashi, this anime is 500 times better. The things they cut out here were all within acceptable levels.
about higurashi: I dropped it because the story just didnt make sense to me.
I didnt get what the big deal was about watching a series of recycled characters act out fairly un-suspensful scenarios. After the first few, it even became predictable, in the sense that you knew something bad was going to happen one way or another.
There was no way to build the level of attachment to the characters that makes suspense work for me. Perhaps the game was much better.
It still seems popular, but I dont get the attraction myself :confused:
Shana was pretty much the same too, imo J.C. Staff is actually one of the better companies at creating anime adaptations of novel originals.
Hrm, shana just fell apart near the end. The story stopped making any shred of sense, and probably anyone could tell it was being rushed off stage.
Have you read the novels? If so, would you recommend them?

That's putting it lightly. Higurashi is a masterpiece among sound/visual novels.
The anime failed in so many ways, us fans of the original game can't even be angry at it anymore, we're speechless.
Hrm, shana just fell apart near the end. The story stopped making any shred of sense, and probably anyone could tell it was being rushed off stage.
Have you read the novels? If so, would you recommend them?
If you haven't read the novel, then how can you tell if it's rushed or not? There will always be moments where a development in a story makes you go "wtf" or "yeah right", but that doesn't mean it's poorly done or rushed.
It's true that Shana's anime moved away from the novel in the final episodes (around when Ball Masque showed up), but that's because the anime has followed the novel up to that point (around vol.6) and now it needed an ending because the season was ending, since they obviously couldn't continue on to vol.7+.
There has been a few changes made to the Shana anime (such as Alastor not appearing during the Friagne fight, but in the final episode instead), some of which are good changes, some are bad. But as a whole, you can tell that Shakugan no Shana's anime was a pretty big success simply by looking at the Japanese fan reactions and sale results. Story aside, the anime did have impressive sakuga quality and an excellent soundtrack.
Again, no anime adaptation can ever replicate the original story fully (some people might argue that Suzumiya Haruhi was a near replication of the novel, and I agree that Kyoani has proved itself to be the god of animation companies. But compared to other anime adaptations, Suzumiya Haruhi's anime covered very little of the original novel (they only covered vol.1, with misc. short stories from other volumes), so it's really a tradeoff), especially when we're talking about latenight timeslot animes that usually only have 1~2 cours worth of episodes to tell the story. Fans watch these animes knowing perfectly well that there will always be things left out or changed, so it wouldn't be very smart to expect the animes to cover everything you wanted to see from the novels.
Finally, since you asked, I do read the Shana novels, and is up-to-date at the latest volume (Shakugan no Shana S). Would I recommend it? Well, if the anime interested you, then I see no reason why you shouldn't try the novel out. Takahashi-san's writing can be a little heavy-handed at times, bogging the reader down, but he's getting better. Either way, Shana is still one of the greatest tsunderes out there. :heh: Besides, as an Itou Noizi fan, I'm obligated to buy everything that features her works. :heh:
Although J.C. Staff has shuffled Zero's story around a bit for this anime, it's still very sensible so far. Most importantly, they got all of the important scenes right. I joke about them skipping the kiss mark scene, but I really didn't expect them to do it anyway, since it was one of the more serious make-out scenes, it's "eroticism" probably would've been out of place in the episode.

Hrm, no more zero to read. and volume 9 isnt even pre-ordable yet.
I'll have at least one or two people to talk about shana novels with.
Okay, into the shoping cart it goes :)
There are some nice vocabulary explanation pages that I saw once (probably should have bookmarked them) that I can use to help with the story-specific words. (Meh, he probably explains them in the book anyway)
Anyway, to get back on topic:
one detail that many would liked to have seen in this ep:
Ruizu decides that she needs to mark her territory, so she decides to put "kiss marks" all over saito's neck, and she insists he does so to her as well. Of the many points in the novels in which his self-control is tested, this has to be among the most intense.
off topic
If I may butt in and leave my 5 cents, a rushed story isn't limitted to an adaptation story that skips over sensible parts of the original. A story is rushed in a standalone sense when its character development is forced or has logic leaps, when the story start abandoning its own premises for the sake of reaching to an end, whatever it may be, etc.
As much as I agree with you Sushi-senpai about Shana being a good adaptation (well, at least I can say that after struggling through Volume I :p), Shana's changes of attitude towards her surroundings were rather forced in many points in the story, among other little things one might spot, as Srin Tuar-senpai mentioned.
Yay for on topic:
Is anyone else upset at the story putting up Cromwell as one of the potential villians of the story? He was a brillian revolutionary, he only temporally destroyed England's monarchy system as a side act :p

ひさしぶり Protoさん
About the names yamaguchi-sensei has chosen for his characters:
Honestly I think he just picks them nearly at random for the way they sound
and the style of the character that they belong to. I dont think there is
any deeper meaning to it than that. (no metaphors, no political statements,
nothing.)
For me, thats the reason I refuse to "untranslate" the names. In english, they
bring in too much unwanted nuance and connotation that I think is not a part of
the story. So for me, Cromwell will be クロムウェル.
about クロムウェル:
In this show hes very much a badguy. (more spoilery talk about him in the novels thread)
Aside from being the leader of a revolution that overthrew a king, and being an english aristocrat, there are no other similarities imo. I dont think Yamagushi-sensei is trying to say that the real-life Oliver Cromwell was a badguy necessarily. He just borrowed his name for the story.
honto ni hisashiburi desu ne, Srin Tuar senpai (aka I would write in kanna's myself but I screwed up SCIM beyond redemption last week and I've been too lazy to fix it :p)

Hmm... point taken. I am myself a partidary of respecting Yamaguchi-sensei original source of inspiration for his names, but what you say makes sense.
As the last reference I will make to the original Cromwell (I promise!) it is interesting to note that he was a commoner himself (and one of the only two commoners to have been England's head of state). I guess it would have been interesting if the series would have taken that into the story as well

He most definitely did not choose the names at random, which you should already know from the examples of Louise and Henrietta.
I do agree that the characters and events that occured in Zero no Tsukaima have no relationships to any real-life individuals or events whatsoever.
However, it's quite obvious that many characters and events in the story were inspired from real-life examples. Cromwell being one of them (Oliver Cromwell), as is Henrietta's advisor, Cardinal Mazarini (Jules Mazarin), etc.. So wouldn't call them "random", as they are clearly chosen deliberately for their characters.
As for translating the names or not, it's personal choice. I simply write them in English because it's easier for others here to understand.

I read the wikipedia links, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldnt find any real parallels deeper than the superficial. If you have found some I would love to hear about it. :love: Otherwise I still say he chose the names for sound and the style of the historical figure, and otherwise they have no deeper meaning.

Lol, I'm also a card-carrying member of the anti-ローマ字 club, so that puts me in a particular bind.
Sometimes it annoys people I know, but I tell them that the kana are really not all that hard to learn...:heh:

About the names.
Montmorency is a very popular French last name (is French myself). I'm not sure if she was a Queen or anything, but in Quebec City, they have a boat company called 'Montmorency' as well as waterfalls called "La chute de Montmorency".
So I don't know if that was influenced in the naming of her or not.
@Sasha
Well you need to study a little more your mother country history :p Montmorency are not part of any of the European royal families, but they are considered one of the oldest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmorency_family) noble houses, and sometimes the first of the noble houses in Europe... I guess poor Momo doesn't fit there very well though
Anyway, despite being interesting, if anyone wants to continue this parallelism comparison I guess it should get its own thread. Otherwise Catgirls will come and purr at us or something :p

Mind you whoever said cromwell was a brilliant revolutionary, is in error. He was a brilliant millitary commander, but not very good revolutionary. after all it all fell apart shortly after.....and monachy reinstated by the very people he profess to represent. :p
Well, thankfully all the rest of republicans had a big sulk and headed off to America. :D :D

OH GOD THIS EPISODE WAS GREAT.
Only one way to describe Loiuse's dere-dere mode in this episode: moeee! I think the main reason why Shana fell off towards the end was because it took itself too seriously, but it looks like Zero no Tsukaima won't make the same mistake. Which is good, since this series is just so much fun. I wouldn't want it to take itself seriously for a minute.
Saito continues to impress me as well. His strength as a character is one of the reasons why both this series and himself are so appealing. It's actually quite believable that he has a plethora of girls who want him, which is (far too) rare in anime, since most harem leads are unappealing and sometimes even invisible. (Not that this is a harem... but you can see what I'm trying to say).
Overall: most fun I've ever had in a series of this type. Fingers crossed it'll keep it up.

"OH GOD THIS EPISODE WAS GREAT"
yes yes yes!! louise trying to seduce saito on the bed was gold!!! arra put on some pants!! XDXDXD but not trying to do anything strange he has the heart of a gentlemen ^^
guiche is scared of saito...whow another point for the commoner...and saito is actually blackmailing a noble...another point :D
omg haha half made hat erm i mean sweater XD
and yep i immediatly guessed who those two magicians were :p then louise had to come and make a big boom :heh:
too bad louise returned to spanking saito with that whip :( it was a really fun ep and one of the best IMO :) well worth the wait...100/10
edit: woohoo my 1000th post :p spent on something worthwhile ^^
^_______^ Awesomeness!!! I loved the siesta-jealous part its was so great!!
I would have been better if the princess didnt come too early and see more louise getting blush and getting mad.:D

This episode was interesting and good for a few laughs, but it wasn't that great. I'm not complaining about how Louise became all lovey dovey though. Why did she bite Saito on the neck anway? That's some strange love right there. :heh:
Now a quick question, did the water spirit know all the previous Gundolf/Gandalf that came into that world? She said something that all the previous Gundolf/Gandalf were trustworthy and so he trusted Saito.
I noticed how Derflinfer (saito's sword) said that "This is nostalgic." when they were talking to the spirit. Could his previous user be a Gundolf/Gandalf?

I was thinking the sword'd come there before. Maybe it was Excalibur to the Spirit's Lady of the Lake.
Dere Louise = The Internet [/4chan]
Tho I like Louise, her personality slowly starts to piss me off. I mean, she has some feeling for Saito, but she still pretends like she hasn`t... Plus she`s treating him like a dog... Bah, the worst thing is, Saito doesn`t even try to change that statement! If I was him... Oh, wait. This isn`t RL...
Louise bugs the hell out of me and Saito needs to hurry up and find a way back home and make Louise all sad as hell or something. I wonder how their power will develope later on in the sieres. Louise's magic is extremely strong, she just doesn't have the right motivation to make it work and I think Saito has more abilities yet to be learned. What do you guys think?

2006-09-03, 18:08
No, Saito needs to lead a bloody revolution against magicians, guillotine most of them.
Starting with Tabitha's uncle.
He can then quietly live out the rest of his days. With a harem.
(BTW, why is it everyone writes it "Tabitha", but no matter how much I strain my ear, I hear "Tabatha"?)

:rolleyes:
oh, maybe because thats the official spelling? :D
Enjoyable episode. Rather fillerish, of course, in terms of actual plot development - apart from what, the last four minutes? At any rate, dere-dere Louise was very entertaining, as was Siesta, whom I am growing very fond of. Gave this episode an eight - took two points for basically the fillerish nature (1) and the... well, flow problems. It seemed a bit erratic to me. Still fun though. ^^

(BTW, why is it everyone writes it "Tabitha", but no matter how much I strain my ear, I hear "Tabatha"?)
I write it as "Tabasa" :)
I have nothing to complain about this episode rather than to praise it.
The comedic effect of Louise's love mode sparked, unknowingly to the main cast at that time, a quest event to be fulfilled and most likely it is intertwined among Tabitha's family crisis and Henrietta's political arrangement.
The water spirit trusts the Gandalfr to retrieve the 'Ring of Andvar' which was stolen by this warlocke, Cromwell, the latter who has employed fouquet and the other mysterious stranger at his behest.
It is a hint for us to be intuitive about Saito filling the role of the Gandalfr, because the water spirit immediately conceded his request on the promise that him return it back; Saito not having second thoughts or hesitation agrees to keep his side of the promise.
Saito's the boy that does what's to be taken and needed to help those he cares about (although Louise sometimes is a raw dough to cook). Nevertheless, he's not sort a super-hero or the type that seeks to be center of attention, just an ordinary joe and nice 'shounen' that recklessly has himself thrown too lightly into a risky business more dangerous when experiencing first hand.
Anyways, lovey and turtle dove Louise was fun and cute but nothing beats Louise as a 'tsundere' which she's completely 'moe'. Even if Derflinger is correct that Saito should had left Louise love chanted, morally its wrong and frustrates Saito to no end having kept Louise clinging on him forever.
Unfortunately, the lovey Louise threw him in a precarious position with Siesta, sparking the jealousy of the latter.:heh:
Imho this episode was alrite, not great but it was still entertaining.
I think good parts were:
-MonMon!
-What Louise knitted for Saito was funny
-Learning about the legendary Gandalfr hero thing a bit more.
(So there have been previous Gandalfr and/or there are more than one?)
I did not like Saito getting owned, he didn't even put up a decent fight and he even went into pwnage mode!
Just speculating but I think Saito's power will develop more.
(Shana got wings so Saito might also get an upgrade)
As for louise I think she will probably bring out some awesome spells later when the danger gets worse.

Loved this epsode the luv luv mood with Louise just made the whole episode that much better. Saito must have blue balls like mad. I mean with her lying on the bed with hardly anything on, plus Siesta's hot body and he constant flirting and Kirche and her fun pillows are always in his face any man would go nuts we only have so much will power. Saito was very smart with how he delt with the Water god too bad Tabby and Kirche whooped him in the end oh well
However Louise remebered everything that happened and still beat him he like a little bitch even though he helped her that sucks. Well they say love is blind, stupid and it definetly hurts like hell
Well, i'm happy they've brought back Guiche into the plot - the guys way to much of a funny character not to been seen.. now i'm just thinking about if he summoned Saito. ^^;;
Anyway, flipping great episode like they all have been upto now, though i gotta say this one's gonna be one of the funniest.. love-love Louise is just so god damn amazing. <3
They said Saito is Gandalf. What is Gandalf anyway?

I love this series, everything about it is enjoyable. The comedy, the action, the characters, the atmosphere, everything... Too bad it is so short :(. I was getting the long series vibe until I saw it was only gonna be 13 episodes. At any rate, this episode was good and Louise was hilarious under the love spell :P. I also want to see what this Gandalfr thing is all about.

funny how saito handles guiche and monmon. guiche is scared of him and monmon is being blackmailed.
This was cute/funny episode. Moe Louise was great, and when she was sleeping under the tree, hahaha. It made me feel that Louise needed an eye on her at all times, moe moe max. Plot developement was merr, but good to see Guiche and MonMon involved.
