Huu... Besides for one part, everything was novel-rape+pointlessness...
For heaven's sake, they spend 6 freaking minutes on a pointless chase scene...

Spoiler for ep8:

6/10... I guess...

So the anime decides to make their own excuse for what Colbert is alive... I, myself, want to smack my head on the one from this excuse because of how forced/convenient it seems, but I've been prepared for this tragedy since last week...
Well, I'd put more belief in the anime if only they didn't show how they forgot the points in the previous season (like the whole magic can't revive-->can revive thing).

Following this, we get a pointless 6 minute chase. It ends in a meaningful way, but the six minutes could have been used a lot better, no? Considering how many episodes we have left, it would be better to use the time more wisely than pointless anime-original events, yes?

Then we get probably one of the few novel-loyal events this episode, with Tabitha fighting and losing to the elf. That was probably the best part of the episode (though keep in mind that best doesn't necessarily mean it was great).

-Henrietta, hurry and go back and do what you really need to do, you incompetent queen. You're a ruler, right? Stop staying at the academy for no-good reasons.

-Eyecatch=Louise in naked apron?

-Censor...

-Saito gets his head held between Louise's legs... The perverted anime-version of him has no reaction?!

Preview: Ah... This... Let's see how they plan to finish everything...
