Not a bad episode, I guess, but a bit more dull than I prefer... As always, the action has good movement but doesn't leave much impression from the length...
For some reason, the blood that glowed at the beginning of the season isn't glowing anymore...
*gasp* Foreshadowing that the soldiers are evolving?!

Spinoza<<<<Luke, in this factor... Luke compared himself to the damn old man, but Spinoza is in a far worse position...
For once, I agree with Anies on trusting him so easily...

Dungeon cutting-->Really fast, it feels... Though never played the game, so don't really know...

I sometimes wonder where the bad guys come from... :heh: Van and Asch's sudden attacks.

Dist's amusing... :heh: But he got caught already...? 3 left?

And so, an avalanche caused by Koyasu reveals a conveniently placed door which turns out to be a trap, dun dun dun~!

The OP's new cut scene of some female on a descending platform reminds me of the Witch of Black Forest...

Preview: Ah~, Tea's falling~

Toki toki... Luke and Tear started to develop more. That's a great plus.

With all these encounters it's starting to become redundant. Enemy individual appears out of no where, entire team is there, 1 vs 1 fight, enemy indivudal runs away, entire team just stands there and lets him go...... come on now, this is pretty stupid.

Anyways, I'm still liking the series. Want to see what happens to Luke and Tear.

Pleased with the Jade and Dist part. Truly the epitome of their S&M relation. :heh:

Nice also to have another "Jade spell chanting".

Anise's comments were alright, though for those who played the game, they're really building up on "something". No wonder there has been reaction even till now.

Decent episode. I liked the Tear and Luke development, though i couldn't help but laugh at how random Asch's appearance was in this episode. Van's was pretty random, though Asch just running out of nowhere. --- oh my. :heh:

I'm so getting the feeling that Largo is Natalia's father after their little conversation in this episode, or somehow related to her birth.

Oh, and the Dist/Jade scene was easily the best part of the episode. :heh:

I did not mind that they skipped through some of dungeons, since in the game they were for leveling purposes. I liked the anime's rendition of the Jade/Dist scene since it keeps Jade in a better light than he was with Dist in the game. Though I would guess there would be some that would have wanted that scene to be animated.:heh: I did not mind battle with the God Generals being short and I kind of doubt that an avalanch would due them in. To bad that I can not say the same with the fodder that they brought with them. Looks like in the next preview is going to be very interesting since Van is up next in the battle. Overall, I am really enjoying the anime's rendition towards the game. The only thing that I can not get use to is Anise being pasty white. Maybe it is because I played the game for so many hours (over 200) that I am more used to her skin color there than in the anime.

Oh Dist and Jade, will they ever stop being brilliant?

This series I'm not really enjoying as much as the others. Mostly because a lot of it is... Strange. My biggest complaint from this episode is that Van manages to show up randomly again, and of course when his sister is all by herself. Either Van just has superb timing, or his character is made out of 42nd Fon Particles that make him the answer to everything. (If you don't get that joke, read a good book series). Of course, no random pop-up would be complete without Asch randomly showing up and getting some action with Van (and by result of his failures, holding his ribs with Natalia <3). Now if only Luke and Tear actually got some time together, especially since she's SUPPOSEDLY going to die (though don't be surprised if she doesn't, this anime is made of dreams, fairy tales, and flying tree-people servants) and Luke certainly isn't going to find any more of her (unless of course somebody works their replicating magic on her. =D). Most of my disappointment was really from the fact that the most romantic thing that happened in this episode was that Tear and Luke spoke to each other about Tear's impending demise in a dark room with beds, and he made her cry out of sadness (not the kind of crying he needs to be getting. Happy ftw). Besides that, I felt like this was a pretty good episode even for an episode that sort of felt like it was just getting necessity out of the way for the sake of good stuff. I don't really have much to say about it besides the fact that Van and Asch can't randomly appear with nearly as much awesomeness as Ogata from White Album. Now that guy can randomly appear.
