Really loving this anime.

Probably my favorite of the season.

I like the addition of a romantic challenge to Wako. This new potential love interest reminds me an awful lot of Noe Isurugi from True Tears, too.

All-in-all, a very nice episode 9 that's a bit more lighthearted after the recent big and slightly more dark/serious developments. This anime has superb pacing and balance so far.

I was kidding. There is just so much innuendo here... lol.

That would be more full-circle than parallel.

A sister love triangle is always welcome.

Random question, why doesn't Takuto get his own bubble in zero time? Whenever the rest of the characters enter Zero Time (either by using the masks or the marks) they are always in a bubble but Takuto never is, is there any reason behind this?

Anything in particular that's putting you off it so much. I mean I can say it's kind of canned and there's not a lot of tension so far (it's almost been played for laughs to an extent), but on the other hand the canned nature of it reveals some excellent choreography and it's pretty enough to make it fun to watch.

Wait...wouldn't that still make sense? I'd "tame" that any day of the week.

Unless she's lying about this whole regeneration-formula-thing.

Marione changed the rule of the Leader: the one who finds the West Maiden becomes the Leader. because she knew that none will find her. I can tell that there's some kind of a twist here.

I think what Marino is doing is pretty clever. If they don't agree to her condition she won't help them find the West Maiden and her sister is safe. If she does become the leader then she might be able to use that authority to protect her sister. Though I wonder if saying "ok everyone just quit" might work

Because of the third Phase, I believe.

Head and Takuto are obviously brothers. (taking age into consideration).

Was the Leader of the first (empty) Brigade Takuto's father...?

But in some magazine it was mentioned that Takuto indeed has siblings, but he is the eldest brother.
So Head is Takuto's father after all. Or we are just trolled by Enokido

Bombo · 2010-11-28, 17:20

This episode in the list my favorites episodes XD
-Twin sisters really amazing and meeting the Kiraboshi it's damn funny betweens cats I mean girls LOL "Booo" and it's seem the big sister will start to love takuto kun hehe.

it's no the same without Fish Girl and her song =(. They even went and replaced her image on the bus with Mizuno in the ED.

This episode was so much full of win.

Can I request a gif of the fox? Not sure which scene is good but umm you decide? Maybe when he was being squeezed?

Yes... that is the truth. Mecha battles require vocal songs in order to be enjoyed to the maximum.

SoFarGone · 2010-11-28, 22:37

so is it going to be like an arc for each maiden/phase? By the time were done with Mizuno then everyone would be in 3rd phase. If the preview is what I'm assuming then were getting a love triangle with the sisters and Takuto. If that happens I could see how Mizuno could be found by the Glittering Cruz.

Arkard · 2010-11-28, 23:08

You know, after some thought, I have to wonder if we're all being trolled again. We all assumed Sugata would become the stereotypical friend turned enemy based on what was hinted at.

We assume that Marino will fall for Takuto... or is it that what they want us to think? What is she falls for say, Sugata? I can just see Wako frustrated about the pink haired sisters now

Shiroth Beautiful fighter. Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: England, UK Age: 37	Spoiler for Episode 09: This weeks episode had obvious bromance between Takuto and Sugata ("Be careful. Mine's is a bit long."), though there was plenty of adorable Mizuno to balance things out. I'm glad we'll be seeing more of her, plus it was obvious she would turn out to be the West Maiden. Her Sister Marino (Manticore) turning out to be a fake member just so she can protect her sister is a nice twist. It'll be interesting to see how that will turn out. Also Marino getting the Kiraboshi sign wrong was a nice touch. I was wondering about that when it happened. The sleazy club room scene with the jazz was awesome, and very Utena. Plus i believe more then anything now that Head is Takuto's Father. The way the camera focused on the signature of the panting the second after Head was mentioned in that conversation has me thinking just that. So next week, Baseball! That should be fabulous. Also going by the episode title, we could be having some love triangle drama with the sisters. __________________ MyAnimeList Twitter

wandering-dreamer reads too much Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: you know that's a great question.....	Random question, why doesn't Takuto get his own bubble in zero time? Whenever the rest of the characters enter Zero Time (either by using the masks or the marks) they are always in a bubble but Takuto never is, is there any reason behind this? Spoiler for Similar question from episode 9: Since we haven't seen Mizuno (and it sounds like GCB hasn't either or they would know who they are looking for) how does Mariano know she's the West Maiden? It sounds like the girls are formally recognized as the maidens once their seal appears and that forces them into zero time but if Mizuno hasn't appeared in zero time she must not have her seal yet. Plot hole or foreshadowing a possible plot twist later? __________________ If it has a plot I have something to say about it! Twitter time!
