Last scene between Messer and Freyja was well done. Just goes to show that sometimes you can get the advice you need to hear from the most unexpected of places. Hopefully that advice didn't raise any death flags for either one of them.

Feels like Messer could stay for a good while since he's a good test subject for any attempts to permanently deal with those who have been suffered from Var in the past and are susceptible to relapse. Hopefully can take that tip to live more in the present.

It's funny how the more they show Mirage and Hayate acting platonic, the harder I ship them. Like seriously, Freyja is the only one showing any romantic interest in the main triangle, but I'm just adoring how Mirage and Hayate just go on about their daily lives together as best buddies. XD
Needs more Arad though. Looks like Kaname is really into Messer... but not if Keith has anything to say to it! Messer the only one able to arouse Keith's rune has doujin written all over it. As for the idol part of the show, I loved their poses when they started singing this show's song. As for the actual singing, Junna won this round, sorry Freyja. Well at least your singing still is better than Kaname's, which IMO was just uninspiring (like WTF Messer, this is the voice that saved you? lol)

Letting aside her character, speaking of singing, Mikumo always stands out by a wide margin for me. They did a pretty good job choosing her VA. Kaname comes as a far second. But I can see why she is not leader material (no one but Mikumo tbh). But she has this cozy vibe sort of (kinda like Hisomu from Kiznavier) that for its nature doesn't fit well with being the front leader of a music group. This vibe was straightened by her initial call to Messer that also felt quite concerned.
So basically Chuck and Mirage can be affected by the Var syndrome. mmm, they are the last wagon wheels. So they can't improve much from the point they are in term of skills. And the only option for Mirage to get better is by sync with Hayate. Considering that they couldn't take down Messer, three vs. one, I'd be a bit concerned as their captain too. But at least Hayate can be boosted when needed, if we ever will get some serious fight. Well, if anything at least all Mirage outfits are awesome But seriously, I don't want to see her going into Var mode!!

It's weird too cus I think in the song showcased in the prev two episodes (forgot the name, the freyja/hayate powerup song) she actually sang way better unaccompanied while Freyja's version was really...off? I'm okay with how Kaname's seiyuu is going with her singing. It was fitting to the context they were putting up- though iunno...the bracelet song actually sounds pretty cute (no final judgments on it though cus it was pretty quiet + just a snippet) so i do hope it comes back properly in the future. I'm...still not all that convinced about the Hayate/Freyja situation. I feel like the worry sort of came out of nowhere since she seemed fine about them talking it out alone a few episodes prior. I guess it can be argued that she's finally starting to notice? But in the midst of everyone and the show pushing it I stay sort of ambivalent. Things are too easy for me to be interested. I'm just waiting for that to change. With Mirage...I like Mirage more in general (still) but I don't particularly care for shipping either. I just want her to have more character development...whether or not we have to deal with romance really doesn't matter to me because........ ....Keith/Messer/Kaname/Arad is absolutely slaying me. I loved this episode. Messer's backstory was semi predictable but I loved it nonetheless because the build up for him over the last couple of episodes in regards to it has been really logical. I also love how Kaname, despite being designed to be the less impressive character and considers herself a supporter leader because she doesn't have what it takes to be center is actually the one who affected him so much. She's fast become my favorite Walkure (Even if Mikumo is still glorious). I like that Keith basically has a hard on for Messer and Arad is...Arad. I'm guessing we get more of him next? I would like more of this sandwich please X3 |

Messer's "love" polygon is great. I'm not sure if Arad is part of a triangle (he strikes me as someone who is trying to hook Messer with Kaname, by his reactions). It seems that the bridge bunnies are like a parody of shippers who search for clues of "romance" in the wrong places (they are sitting together and talking about job: look at all that UST, when will they date? Or two people are having a serious, non-romantic conversation about their superior: they are lovers!).

Best episode so far, for me. Loved Kaname's part in it (all of her, actually, and Messer's story was pitch perfect, almost) - and the start of the shenanigans of the love polygons. More, please.

By-the-by, since I was trying to figure out how to understand the concept of "fold receptors" and how they relate to fold bacteria and fold waves, I decided to look up this line (@02:53):
And got this instead: The Var Syndrome is likely caused when the fold bacteria that are living parasitically in a person's cells transmit and amplify intense emotions through hyperspace, making the individual behave violently. (Japanese if anyone wants to check:『ヴァールシンドロームとは細胞内に寄生したフォールド細菌が強烈な感情を亜空間を通じて伝播 ・増幅させ人間を凶暴化させる現象だと考えられています』) Taking that as the hypothesis of the scientists working with Chaos at the moment, how do we explain Messer in this episode? He went Var without Heinz transmitting those intense emotions (the ones that Reina last episode described as feeling "sharp" and "painful")... Does that mean that they can amplify the intense emotions that an 'infected' individual him/herself has, which means that any intense emotion can potentially cause them to go crazy, as happened to Messer when trying to fight Keith? And does that mean that Messer has been trying to stay out of any situation that would give him such intense emotions, which might be why he keeps refusing Kaname's invitations? c.f. these previous comments: Quote:

All the more so if Messer needs to be grounded for the time being. Think they can hardly send him up right now if he's losing it every single time and it's only getting harder to stay in control.
