The second stage of Psalm of grand Order has been completed with the awakening of the real body of the Snake of the Festival, which is unsurprisingly a gigantic snake. Really, there is nothing much for the Flame Hazes to prevent it, as the Bal Masque has always been a few steps ahead of Flame Hazes.

And, Alastor, who previously tagged along with SotF Yuji, has returned to Shana. What is more important is that Shana has declared her love to Yuji, without much hesitation.

It is the first time that Bel Peol removes her eye patch.

Spoiler for New Flame Hazes:

We do have a sneak preview of Sale Habichtsburg. Plus, we should be able to see Chiara Toscana in next episode.

Too bad, this episode ends with a cliffhanger of the rematch between SotF Yuji and Shana. We still do not know who emerge victorous in a battle between Sabrac with Wilhelmina, Khamsin and Rebecca. Sigh, we all have to wait for another 2 long weeks till 7 January 2012 to watch the next episode.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS!!! FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

But yeah I loved this episode, it was just great. Sabrac is so freaking awesome and he makes 3 on 1 fights against high tier flame hazes looks so simple too.
The final moments with Shana and Yuji were great too, its nice to see Shana's new attitude has thrown off Yuji as well, I cant wait for the next episode.

Snake of the festival looks like a big worm >.> Don't like the animation at all. Well as expected of JC staff. Though the confession scene between Shana and SotF Yuji is kinda.... just a meh -_- feeling in it. The trinity deemed her as dangerous. Well she might manage to shake off the resolution of Yuji. But it looks like his dead serious with his goal.

The good part is the battle with Sabrac vs 3 flame haze.

[karinvampire]

Awesome episode, the ending was the best part.

[elior]

great episode and looks like we get close to the start of volume 19 which is awsome and that some huge snake

[Elf song]

At last, the confession scene! And congratulation to Bel Peol. Your third eye is back now.

Waiting for another 2 weeks is too suffering for me.

[elleinad00]

The confession! even though it's kinda plain oh well.. still so cute!

Sabrac vs. "the trio" - was simply epic

The true form of snake gives me the chills I really don't like it's face....... it really is a monster...

ooohhh just saw Chiara & Sale

ME TOO.

When Snake of the Festival was sealed inside the rift between two worlds, Bel Peol sent her right eye him, as a marker for Hecate to pinpoint the exact location of the body of Snake of the Festival. Till now, three-eyed Bel Peol only had two eyes. Wow, such immense loyalty she has for her leader!

At first, SotF Yuji was worried that Shana may have learn a very powerful unrestricted spell that will disrupt the Psalm of Grand Order, and tried to attacked her. After learning that the spell is just love, he becomes arrogant and downplays the effectiveness of the spell. Yes, Shana's declaration of love to Yuji has definitely touched Yuji's heart, but it is not going to charge SotF Yuji's decision in executing the final stage of Psalm of Grand Order. I am very curious in knowing how Shana is going to use love as the strongest unrestricted spell to stop SotF Yuji's plan.

Wow so the sanke got revived. Sabrac is making it hard for the others. Could Alastor transport himself like that the whole time? Really liked Shana's speech at the end.

[SoldierOfDarkness]

I"m a little confused here.

Isn't Sabracc suppose to be some giant denizen? So really the trio are just attacking his avatar which is really just 1/10 of his existence. They really aren't doing any damage to him at all.

[syke123]

Has this delay been confirmed? Or is this speculation based off of the other seasons? And don't shows finish production before they air, regardless it'd be a shame if it was delayed a week.

[Squire James]

I kind of got tired of Sabrac back in Season 2. It's like he's Freddie Kruger or something... there doesn't seem to be a logical termination point for him at all. He'll just be back in the next movie.

It's not a "delay" exactly, it's the holiday break. The episodes are started well in advance, but typically finished not too long before each one airs, and so the teams deserve to get a week off too at some point.

And yeah, it's confirmed -- next week in the timeslot is... a TV shopping block! (Just goes to show that this is indeed infomercial time. ) Not surprised that, as with season II, they made sure to end the first half with a cliffhanger.

[Senshigeia]

Every TV series I am watching currently, anime and non-anime, are going to take a break. Even Kaichou wa maid-sama! manga isn't going to be released this month.

So... I guess I am going to re-watch the main events in whole 3 seasons of SnS, just to get some more Shana during the Christmas break. I am really hooked to this series now!!
For me this episode is another 10/10! After like 60 anime episodes we get a confession!! And a good one that was... We haven't seen Yuji that surprised after he became SnH.

I LOLed with Rebecca's clumsiness in the fight, I adore her! We are going to have Margery soon and the trio fight was awesome! Also, I love the Mare link with the second season (first episode).

J. C. Staff, keep up the good work, onegai desu!!

Merry Christmasu mina-san!!

[Elf song]

A short glimpse of Mare...they should extend more longer about the relationship between her and Sabrac.
Hope there's more in next episode.

Oh lol, I guess that makes sense, since the holidays are coming up, or better yet are already here.

The episode was amazing, I'm about to cut half the video and leave only the parts with SnH, and re watch it a dozen times.

[Ec1ge]

So epic. 10/10

Loved how Shana confessed to Yuji, how Sabrac loved Mare (from SnS II), and every other awesome battle in this episode.

I can't wait till Jan 7th to watch the next one and the outcomes.

[ninja_pintu]

lol that confession

Really liked this episode. Shana III has gotten awesome in last few episodes. Sabrac didn't feel as intimidating as last season though. I guess thats because he is not much of a mystery anymore. Though the flame hazes are still in a tough spot. I wonder how they will survive

As for Shana's declaration, I really doubt she will be able to go through with that. She may have become strong, but beating Yuji isn't going to be easy. And that confession was awesome She basically said she will kill everyone of them if they did something to Yuji

[MeoTwister5]

As awesome as this all was, and that she finally said it, I didn't know if I was going to laugh or gag when that cheesy line was said by Shana. Oh god hahahaha.
