AHHHH... can't waiT!!!!!!!!

By the way, I'm not too sure about the translation of the title. Everywhere I've seen translated it that way based on the kanji, but the reading is "seigan", which seems to mean more "The eye-aiming demon" or something. Perhaps "The piercing-eyed demon"? (Probably matches "Gleam Eyes" more closely.) I mean, the fact is, he doesn't have blue eyes that we've seen anyway... So I went with the translation everyone is using... but I think it might be wrong; I guess we'll see in the episode itself.

Edit: Apparently he does have blue eyes after all, and they were just red at the end of Episode 8. So yeah...

In episode 8, subbers translate it The Gleam Eyes?? or the episode title that is..

Well, the demon's name is clear (it's in English). It's the episode title, Seigan no Akuma.

It's about a demon. The demon has blue eyes. Big old glowing blue eyes. I'm really not sure what you guys are expecting here.

We're arguing if we're going to use the "official" English title (of the boss) or the translated English title from the Kanji.... :heh:

Either way, I think "The Gleam Eyes" suits the episode more clearly.

EDIT: Or if you're still hesitating, "The Gleam Eyes Demon"

Yeah, me neither. Really excited about this episode.

I'm waiting to see the end card :3

Well at least there's someone who is waiting for every "wrong reason".... :heh:

I'm really anticipating this episode.

This week's End Card:

^Damn, that looks pretty awesome. I love the colours.

The kirito in the end card looks kinda like ur avatar aprah :heh:

FYI: Crunchyroll has a notice that this ep will be late due to a production delay.

I hope that means they went overboard with the fight animation.

I think the end card looks very Gurren Lagann like 0_0

I don't really get the end card.

But maybe that's because I haven't seen the episode yet.

nice ep, and nice action + music

A little, maybe. :heh:

And wow.. that gif.. Argh. I can't wait any longer.

It's nice to see her again




I thought she would be forgotten after her ep.
