Episode-wise, I'll give it a 6/10.
Plot-wise, there were plenty of "...", with a lot of the episode focused on Louise, who spends the whole episode whining or shouting and all of the usual annoying stuff she does, and the fact she magically couldn't use her magic anymore.
I mean, seriously, please at least give us a reason why she couldn't use magic anymore (almost reminds me of the Gandalf rune disappearing part)! And magically gains the magic back (this one is a bit OK, I guess).

Animation was probably the best part of the episode. Very good animation/action... Pity that is pretty much the only thing this episode had.

And in the end, Joseph, the big bad villain, just laughs away. He's definitely been the greatest villain we've seen. :rolleyes:

Oh... And there was also a lot of blushing Tabitha, but not liking her, I really didn't care.

Eyecatch is... the first season's, right?

It seems the anime is getting lazy, since for once, there are no SE added to the OP...

Saito's group is headed home, but on the way, Louise realizes she can't use magic and decides to whine to Saito, who is having a rather good time with Tabitha.

I don't want to repeat this again, but just noting, that throughout the episode, Tabitha states that if Louise can't use magic, then she will protect Saito... or something like that.

Anyways... After all of that whining and stuff, the group continues traveling. Tabitha starts teaching Saito to read the words of Halkegania, and Louise mopes around.
Until a giant golem falls from the sky, along with Sheffield.

And a battle starts.
None of the characters can even harm the golem, since it has that Elf's Reflect on it, but Colbert and co. come along with some missile launcher, cannon, or whatever it is called that was given to them by Julio, and they set up the cannon. They fire, but nothing happens.
Derflinger says that they need to cast Dispel on the shell, but Louise, good old Louise, just has to start whining again about how she's just normal Lousie now since she can't use her magic and everything. Yes, while everyone is busy fighting, self-centered Louise starts blabbering all of this.
And then Tabitha kisses Saito, causing Louise to get jealous, and at that time, Tabitha tells her to use Dispel, which she tries and succeeds, which causes the bullet to pierce through and destroy the golem.

Blah blah blah

We have Joseph looking from a distance and laughs
Back at the palace, Henrietta basically forgives Louise and gives all of them their nobility back
And we have Saito and Louise kiss.

But of course, throughout the kissing scene, Louise calls Saito a dog.
And thanks to Tabitha interrupting, Louise gets mad and tries to blow him up, but Tabitha uses her familiar to rescue him.
We end with Louise calling Saito a dog, and Saito barking.
Yeah...

Louise cannot used her magic? Yeah, ok, but... WHY? They didnt give any real reason..She jsut kind of out of nowhere cannot use her magic... Common, if their script writers had brain problems they could have asked few people from street..I am sure they could have helped better than this...

It all made Louise look rather annoying... She out ogf nowhere looses her powers and then whines through the majority of episode about it...Blah...
