I wholeheartedly agree, which is why her talk with Jil really put me off. Either the writers were planting some delicious character development to sprout up later on, or they gave us a half-assed resolution to the Jil x Fatina subplot so that Fatina and everyone else can fade away in the background while Kaaya, Neeba, and Gil take center stage in the final episodes. My experiences with animu makes me feel like it's most likely going to be the latter. It just cheapens her character and everything that made her so likeable. If she disappears in the background after this episode, she will have gone full circle in her role as secondary love interest, and I rather not see that happen for the 1000th time.

The guy who writes Druaga is the dude who also writes Full Metal Panic though. I can accept a non-Fatina end as long as everything is handled right. Here's hoping that the last few episodes are something to remember. Please make Fatina happy...!

Well, overall this was a decent episode. Everyone is up to Gilgamesh, except for Gremica who I'm sure isn't far behind. And from the preview and its episode title, Gilgamesh might bite the dust next week. I hope its true so we have time at the end of episode twelve for a decent epilogue so we can some good closure with the characters and the story.

Honestly, at the beginning of the first series she treated Jil pretty badly and I developed a "she's gonna deserve what's coming to her attitude." However, her character is a lot more complex and likable after the betrayal.

She is probably the one character that was really grown and changed. Jil has a little, but not nearly enough as he should have.

It may be cliche, but is the best thing to do, in my opinion.

The main reason she disliked Kaaya was because of how she acted and how everyone generally cared for her. It wasn't until the end and after the first season that Jil was involved with Fatina's reasoning to dislike Kaaya.

However, she slants what she says to ease the burden on Jil. The same thing probably applies with her escape. Although it might have started that way, I think Fatina has developed genuine feelings over time for Jil, especially since she seems to have had a soft spot for him all along.

I am a little annoyed over what Fatina said about Neeba. It seemed like she still cared for him romantically which is pretty dumb after what she has said and done to and for Jil in the past six months or so.

I was scared when I saw Kaaya hanging on that wall. Its just like in Ki's vision too. Let's hope Jil can make a big difference so we don't see Kaaya tortured more by Gilgamesh.

[Wargumm1i]

Still Neeba´s death flag is still up, and so far he hasent showed any sign of goodness except selfishness.

[-Sho-]

Ahah like i thought with the part with Ethana and when Kelb came rescue her with his army . It reminds me The Lord of the rings in Helm's deep XD

she just said that she is worried about neeba and jil tells her that he has the same feelings.
I am rooting for Jil+fatina. By the way, if Kaaya doesn't die, she will end with Jil.

Prepare some tissue ^^ I think you will need alot. I feel like stating the obvious but besides romantic interest as many people seems focus on when watching xx series Fatina doesn't wish death upon anyone, for her wanting to save a friend or a person is normal.

Episode 11 will be out today, I remember what Gil said about his two self becoming one. I’m going to believe the real Gil in his older form will merge with his darker side restoring eternal youth and malevolence.

Tissues for what? If that is because the pairing that I want doesn't realize, I was actually a Jil+kaaya rooter the first season. I just think that Fatina and Jil make a better couple. I was kind of surprised when I saw Jil and Fatina together in the sequel.

Episode 11...

Spoiler for Ep11:

They got flushed again. They freaking got flushed again!

And poor Utuu. His potential bride getting an arrow through the heart.

[NoLongerSane]

Just saw episode 11.

Spoiler for Ep. 11:

Well, this was a great episode. The Gil fight took everyone to defeat him, with Jil landing the last blow after recieving help from Kayaa and an unexpected person. But in the end, Neeba becomes the total a-hole in this episode after he kills the druid girl to get the blue rod. Then he plays on last seasons betrayal by dumping the rest of the cast back at the start while he takes the tower for its purpose. In all, a very enjoyable episode that will get the Neeba haters their fill of disgust. Looks like next episode, Neeba plays the final boss and Jil has to stop him. As for Gil, his past was tragic and I was somewhat glad that the writers resolved his end. What I find funny was that Gil succumbed to his weakness after a hundred or so years while Neebe succumbed to his after being pep-talked about being pitied by Jil from the succubus.

Spoiler for Episode 11:

It was about seeking revenge for what happened to Neeba. Jil wanted to rescue Kaaya, and he knew she'd help him greatly in the battle with Gil --- which she did.

Uran was the man this episode. His reaction was awful to see.

Henaro death seemed kinda forced. Like she had to die (though we don't know for sure if she is dead, especially in this show).

& i lol'd at final boss Neeba. He's always been perfect boss material. Can't wait to see how this one will end, and at what cost.

Perhaps you're in denial, and seeing things that aren't there?

All will be clear next week. That, or the writers are fail. Either way, we get resolution or a scapegoat for being fail.

[Key Board]

He's not going to end up with anyone

He'll go on an adventure after all of this is over

[Deathkillz]

ep 11

Spoiler:

OH yes it was good

This is exactly what I wanted from the big boss fight and they surely didn't end up gimping Gil for being too haxx, no, they simply had him kick everyone's asses til the cows came home although his death was a bit on the "huh" side...but what can you do when faced with an "immortal" boss...you must find one way or another to kill him but at least he went out with a bang. The cliched "my whole life flashed before my eyes and therefore I know I am wrong" was a nice touch for his end too.

Too bad for Neeba, it doesn't seem like he will be saved as his true intentions seems to be revenge at the gods for giving him all the shits when he was young. Still I don't have a clue what the succubus is thinking about doing but I suppose it is the same goal as Neeba, yea! kill the gods for being high and mighty!

And I am glad that Henaro got shot...she annoyed me ever since switching sides and I didn't feel anything at all when she switched over to Jil's side again, I blame the lack of development but there you go

Poor loli ;_____;

So because Kaaya says something nice, that means Jil gets no say in the matter? But you're right about one thing...

I DEMAND A HENARO BATH SCENE!

[Wargumm1i]

So basically the chances for a third season just went up to 20-30% chance?
