Episode 9 won't be out for a while since the next one coming out is 8.5. This is just F.Y.I.

And I'm hoping there will be Kallen's new mecha in that episode .

Not so sure about that...

Spoiler for website's summary for ep9:

...The Order of Black Knights starts to expand their activities as allies of the weak. Though they are treated as heroes by the Elevens, Kallen feels that Zero is still needed to change the world. Although Kallen is half Britannian and half Eleven, she hates Britannian due to complications in her family. Under that situation, the Order of Black Knights runs afoul of a smuggling operation for 'Refrain', a drug spreading among the Elevens. In that site, Kallen saw a certain person.

Credits to verity_isle for the translation.

...Btw, it still doesn't look like the official website has thought it necessary to include the summary for 8.5 in its episode list - and the syoboi site reportedly confirms that this week will only see ep8.5 and not 9.

Other than that,

Spoiler for Kallen's mecha:

The Crimson Lotus 2nd model is touted to appear in ep10 and not sooner.

Seeing as though Thursdays episode is 8.5 - a recap episode, is there going to be a thread made for it? & it was mentioned around the other threads that episode 09 might just air on Thursday as well.

Hmmm...Well, I'll turn this thread into the 8.5 thread and make a new Ep 9 thread. If Ep. 9, for some reason, doesn't air this week, I'll just hide it and pull it out for next week. But, it's not going to kill to have both threads up at once. They're just threads...not even yarn.

/Edit: Done. Thanks for the info. everyone.

RAWR.
One week wasted on pure recap. Seems that there is no new scene apart (I believe) from that Eleven guy poorly cosplaying as Zero to entertain his compatriots.

Spoiler for 2chan screenshots:

~Removed~

Hurray for Neko-Millay next week!
...Other than that, I believe ep9 will be mostly a Kallen-centered episode. I've already got an idea about who the mystery person she (according to spoilers)

Spoiler:

will meet in one of the ghettos (during a Black Knights-led drug bust operation) might be.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Her brother Naoto

, which might give us an excuse to delve deeper in her past and discover why exactly she hates Britannia with a passion and identifies herself as a Japanese instead.

Millay is certainly raising fast in the ranks. Neko-Millay would just put her on equal base with CC terms of popularity. Hopefully Millay get some more scenes and she can pull a Asa over karen and shirely

[Deathkillz]

ug dam recap >.<
might skip this ep it its nothing special but would be interesting to know from who's perspective this is going to feature...

and tbh i dont like millay all that much yet...id say she just ahead of shirely but behind all the other girls...CC, karen and nanali would be at the top of my list :3

[Salt]

Darn I mis-voted on this poll. I thought it's part 2 of the ep 8 thread.

[White Manju Bun]

Well having a recap does kinda suck but Ill still watch it, Im sure Ive already forgotten stuff that happened in epis 1 and 2 XD

[Majek]

Neko-Millay huh? I wonder for whom she's doing that XD

[CronuZ]

Guess there will another episode of Kallen's fanservice XD HOORAY~

[Shiroth]

I hear that the recap episode shall be adding a few original sequences, shall be finding that out for myself in just under an hour. :3

Edit: I really enjoyed the recap episode. The way it was set so everything thats happened so far in the series falls into the set time path works perfectly. They know how to handle there recap episodes. :3

Can't wait to watch Ep. 9 now.

[Catgirls]

Hmmm...no episode #9. Well, off to the dust bin with that thread.

[evil|plushie]

Man...i want to know more about neko-Millay

[Flame-X]

Don't watch it then?

[FSNxPhantom]

I think this recap is good because (1) it is considered a special - 8.5 - and not a true episode, (2) from another person's point of view rather than third person, and (3) keep people eager about the next episode.
