One thing that I feel not many people has given this series the credit for is just how funny it is.
this episode is basically: Betsu Ten Gai "You think you can outwit me Ryoufuu Setsujin? I brought the hilt with me!" Lin Setsu A "Curses! Foiled again!" The "everybody bullies Syou Fu Kan" ep7 aside, some of the character interactions are quite hilarious.

Confirmed that food at the end of ep8 is cheesecake. Betsu Ten Gai so fancy there.

All I can say is, do not expect a straight fight. There's no way he wasn't preparing some hallucinogenic dust for the party. Miè Tiān Hái expects either a tough fight against a skilled opponent or a quick end against an unskilled one. I believe Lǐn Xuě Yā will go for a cheap shot to knock him out and grab the sword, proving that Miè Tiān Hái's skills aren't enough.

good action this episode.
was great watching his beat everyone down with just a stick. Laughed when the opponent asked who he is, and he calls himself the Bladeless Edge title he was given by Juan just minutes ago lol. Archer sure had a very unhonorable death. I see Gale getting beat for the MC to come finish the job, Gale probably won't be killed though.

Poor Genkishuu officers, those Dry Bone attack moves got hard countered so badly once again. The differences in skill level is just too much for them.
Zankyou: going all out assault, got sidestepped and countered through the opening Ryoumi: Amassing great flow of energy to overchage herself, got hit by the skill that reflects all the chi back Choumei: Stores up chi inside body to maintain action even after receiving fatal flow, got hit by the attack that disrupts the flow within the body (which then in turn blows it all up). Syou Fu Kan basically used the Origin Bullet on him. Gdi Betsu Ten Gai, can't you teach more useful skills to your underlings than those suicidal attacks? I get it that they only use it when severely outclassed, but still those are horrible ways to go out.

Oh sht the ep12 bonus material is about the opening
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm29709198 key points: Urobuchi wrote the script for the art department, and then they settle on the colour palette first before going forward reshotted at least 3 times initially there were a lot of tornado and dust in the opening dessert, but the Japan side prefer it to have no cloud in the sky instead the dragon is actually Satsu Mu Syou, who then does a front flip The Japan part focuses on the different things than what the Taiwanese audience used to see and those green puppeteers are just hilarious. I wonder how many didn't realise just how many greenscreen there are

Possible Sequel announced.
Announcement found on the Taiwanese discs which went on sale roughly 90mins ago. Now awaiting confirmation on the Japanese side. http://i.imgur.com/3pVehYs.jpg Also apparently the bonus feature is the interview with Sawano in the last episode.

Wow. That was absolutely bloody marvellous and I am so glad they're making a sequel.
One of Urobuchi's best, and shows what he can really do with plot and dialogue when he's not just phoning it in. The mix of puppetry, physical effects and CG for the more magical aspects worked superbly, so top credit to Pili for their massive skills. |

But it's a Puppeteer show, Taiwan had it for 10s of years already, one of the longest running show in Taiwan, on par with Japan's Doraemon and such. |

lol, my only complaint, but not really one, just a personal desire, is that the bad guy leader never knew just how outclassed he was when facing our main hero.
All that talk, and he wasn't even the 2nd strongest we know of. Laughed when we found out that during the whole season, we spent all this time trying to get one sword back and Shang goes "yea I have all of the special swords from my country with me" He only used one, but I was expecting some Gate of Babylon epicness. Kind of sweet how the Can Yun and the Dan Fei got together in the end, though he should go back to his spear lol.
