YES! I've been predicting and hoping for a new OP for a few weeks now, since all the characters in OP1 have already appeared. Unfortunately, this OP only seems to show the Hecate knight thingy, the silver, and some strange men. However, for 8 episodes left, that's good. Especially since the season will probably end with another Bal Masque battle.

For the episode itself, it feels a lot like episode 14. It had a lot of actual motion, and for whatever reason, I really enjoyed it. However, they tend to overdramatacize a lot of trivial events. For instance, the departure of Yuji's dad. "You'll be fine won't you?" Followed by overly dramatic shock from Yuji... It's just a lot of what S2 has been about, since they're using too little plot material for too many episodes, so they need ways to burn seconds.

I'm going to give this episode a 7. Much higher than most of S2, but still not one I'd willingly rewatch.

Oh, and by the way, I absolutely LOVE the new ED. I'd rate it higher than S1 ED1.
