Zero no Tsukaima (third season) - Episode 2 Discussion / Poll

[Deathscyther]

Episode was quite good, except for too much focus on the boob jokes and some bad animation sometimes. They have to rush things to get back on track again, but I think they handled some points quite well, although there are some mistakes/plotholes. I guess some of them can't be helped after season 2.

With only 12 episodes...they have no choice but to rush if they want to get anything done...
Longer seasons would be much better imo.

For anime-only 9/10. I thought it was better than most episodes of the series.
For anime/novels combined 6/10.

I'm with this show 100%.

he can handle rejection, put others before his pride and has a bigger harem than any of them can muster up lets see it think it included ( louise(master/off-lover),siesta(friend/possible girlfriend), tabitha(assistant/jailbait),Henrietta(royal authority/possible one nightstand), Agnes(mentor/sparring partner), and last tiffania(someone to talk to/friend/somewhere to rest his head *cough**Cough*)
this is the info i can see so far in the episodes and whats been posted on baka tsuki from the novels

I don't suppose Siesta's cousin Jessica would be counted in by any chance, eh?

Spoiler:

*cough*

So, just ignoring Louise's existance for now, Siesta was awesome...she showed so much determination and was so bold but snap...the S&M queen had to renew the pact T__T

Seriously though, I even found Tiffania (who has gigantic rubber breasts which I don't like) is more likable...too bad she was subjected to Louise's torture because she is just jealous that she will never have a growth spurt.

Other than that, nice to see the plot moving...at least more than S2.

4/10 quite disappointing . Too many complains than i could type

[Fo0oFi]

Just saw the raw episode and i found really good
i dont understand how u guys hated it so much .. oh well

[Darknemo2000]

Well try, gabbytay, I am personally interested how you gave it a 4.

[Gameboiye]

I watched it and thought it was very good. I don't read the novels, so from an anime only perspective, I liked it. The obvious re-using some scenes kinda wasn't in my liking though.

[Deathscyther]

Well, for Darknemo...I wrote down my list with complaints, but the good things of this episode/season up to now as well.

Spoiler for only watch if you've seen the episode. might contain spoilers.:

Complaints:
- Animation was bad sometimes
- Mistakes/plotholes. How did Saito recognize Tiffania and knew about her, although he even had trouble remembering who she was last episode for example. It felt kinda of weird to me.
- Although less than in season 2, there were still too many boob-jokes.
- They've still downgraded Siesta's character. I really dislike her in the anime.
- Saito learning swordsfighting now and getting better in only one night feels kinda out of place/weird.

Good things:
- Animation is quite good most of the times
- The plot moved forward by a lot. They covered more than I could have imagined in these first 2 episodes. Sometimes it was too fast and felt rushed/forced, but I prefer this over no plot at all.
- I like Louise's character in the anime. They haven't butchered her completely.
- Louise's/Saito's relationship seems to developping quite well in the anime.
- The voice acting is good

All in all, this episode wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. It was better than most episodes of season 2 and I see this as a good thing. I have hope that once they've corrected their errors (season 2 ending) with their own solutions that the rest of the season will be pretty good. =)

[Ketro]

I really liked this episode, even though there was a bit too much fanservice and breast jokes

Spoiler for :

Although I cant say Im disappointed The Bust Revolution one made me laugh so hard. xD

hmm well lets from what ive seen about jessie which isnt much i think shes in the (co-worker/possible girlfriend 2/ nutbuster factor)



*ahem* as for this episode of season 3 my thoughts are, even though its too early to say, Louise has liked Saito to the point that has stopped kicking him in the nuts instead we get the upgraded version of roundhouse kick to the head/ whipping with the bullwhip/ sexual harassing the new competition

[Eps~]

The face expression from Louise and Siesta when they saw Tiffany was priceless!

Might actually make an avy from it

[Midonin]

I thought Sekirei was supposed to be the Bust Revolution of the season. But Tiffania works too. Good to see Saito back in action, though I wonder where things will go from here. For an episode with a title about her, Tiffania really didn't have that much screentime. Not too bad, though.

[robson91]

The Bust Revolution Only one sentence i can say Anime speed up a lot theme of runes end in 2 episodes :/
Union of Siesta and Louise vs. Tiffania/Tiffania breast = priceless
First and second season are good but i think "princess no rondo" will be the best
Motto of ZnT:Princess no Rondo = Boobies

[Spectacular_Insanity]

"Th-This is... a bust revolution!"

Omg, I couldn't stop laughing. I had to pause it. This entire episode gets a 10/10 just for that.

Edging close to that decision myself...More breast jokes and Louise being less Tsundere and more just plain bitchy (Yes lets verbally assault the girl we just met for hugging him because she has large breasts... ) All of it feels tired...

They don't have to reinvent the wheel or anything but atleast something with enough original entertainment to justify a third season would be...nice...Instead of every episode basically consisting of louise being jealous and breast jiggles every time...

[JagdPanther]

Man, the boobs just keep getting bigger and bigger. I can't even imagine the back problems she has.

[Taiyakikung]

Bust revolution makes me laugh.The boobs of coming new characters will become bigger and bigger!
But the best is no BOOB.
Louise-sama I wanna hug and kiss you!

[Kenoshin]

The Bust Revolution thing made me laugh
Still, I thought it was a pretty good episode

[gugumomu]

not a bad episode because of all the Saito/Louise moments. we're finally moving ahead on this one.
too bad there are a lot of inconsistencies in the presented story.

Spoiler for :

some were already mentioned, but what troubles me the most is Shefield. what’s the logic behind her actions? she makes a big entrance, accomplishes nothing, and then retreats? poor scriptwriting, in my opinion. and how does she control that flying beast? i thought this is Julios thing. and why the whole "search for mysterious elf" thing when they only where interested in her big breasts after finally (/so easily) meeting her. wasnt the pressing point the missing-runes. then they did solve that alone, no elf needed.

animation isn’t a masterpiece, but what really hurts are those caricature-like faces. it doesn’t always fit in, and its to often (no complaint about Louises and Siestas jaw-dropping at the sight of Tiffania)


Siesta reminded me of Musubi from "Sekirei" at the sight of her backpack. there may be other reasons too ....
