Atleast this "next" arc generates a good amount of discussion and is important to develop the characters, but now they changed a bit too much in the anime to make this next arc a bit enjoyable, if they ever animate the next arc i disagree it wont be popular, i think it has the possibility to be but not in a good way though ^^"

Also, each episode happens to be tightly paced and well balanced in terms of harem antics versus action. While some viewers (myself included; the show's Achilles' heel would definitely be the words that come out of each character's mouth, along with the lack of any decent plot) may cringe when seeing the former, there's enough quality action to impress. OTOH, I find Freezing to be mediocre in all aspects. The character interactions don't annoy me as much, but the show also suffers from rough art, jerky animation, and horribly unimaginative storyboards (lots of close ups and tracking shots, not much else). To those who can't get into the characters and/or story, there's little redeeming value. |

Hm hmm well I guess this is perfect timing then. I confess I'm having a hard time getting myself to watch this series. It's really embarrassing where I left off, but really, I somehow can't seem to get... excited enough to watch it. I don't seem to be having this problem with other series on now, but it's just this series... I would cry "no time!" considering that's something I don't have much of these days, but as I mentioned earlier, other series tingle my spine except this one. By the way, I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice the odd handling of the storyboard, considering how much I loved that last spring
So someone please, give me 2 reasons that don't have the keywords "twintail", "Ganessa", "ponytail", and "Annette", 2 reasons that explain the drive I'm missing to continue watching Here's a fun fact: I missed about 700 posts worth of fun discussion. Oh wait, that's not a fun fact at all... |

Satella? Rana? Cathy? Awesome fights (which start with episode 6)? And if you found the fanservice unjustified, you have the infamous episode 8 that makes up for it. And well, it has a plot and all (more of one compared to IS imo), it's just executed poorly, though Satella's past revelation and the recent episodes were really good imo. And the VA cast is also very enjoyable, or so I think.

just like Strike Witches/Sky Girls, it's all about tha gi-- *cough* err, all about the characters and their interactions. With some flashy mecha-musume action here and there, and fanservice of course. Hope ya don't watch Strike Witches for the "plot" ... Freezing only started to show its true potential in ep9, but that's still not enough for me to enjoy this more than IS... let's see if next ep will make me change my mind.

So basically, the latter eps is where it's at. Since I already knew about the plot and am definitely not watching it for that (har har), lets's say for example, if I were to jump to say, ep 7 or 8, I'm not really missing much, am I? Considering I have a strong feeling not much differed from the manga...

I'd say: skip 7 and watch ep8
ep8 fanservice was nice and truly refreshing from the usual bullying... well, I laughed quite a bit watching it, mostly thanks to Attia. but yeah, if you don't feel like watching the "outfit contest", feel free to skip it.

I've always wondered in both the anime and the manga at this point is where are all the teachers and the pandoras from the past? Surely they would have quite a few of them instead of having to use completely inexperienced students?
Might be missing something major here so sorry if its a dumb question |

I think it would be interesting if Kazuya gets to meet his elder sister's limiter. Maybe he can even learn a new thing or two from the guy.
It's one of those things that one expects to happen in the story, but so far it hasn't even been hinted at yet. Where indeed did all those previous pandoras and limiters go? They couldn't have all been killed in action, right? |

No seriously, it's a good question. One of the irks of Dal Young works I never liked. On the question of Big sis's limiter, if I remember this correctly, we never saw him in that flashback way early in the series, did we? I wonder if she even had one at all, considering the partner relationship this series has going between Limit-Pando, you'd think Kaz at one point would also remember the guy if there ever is one, and either hate him (for taking big sis away) or admire him (for being big sis's Limit). Oh well......I almost forgot, I'm not in this for the plot |

I enjoy both in their own way. I'm probably too optimistic about this but I can simply forgive poor executions to an extend. As long as things don't keep getting worse and worse (fortunately it gets better in this case) I can accept it... well, mostly. Quote:

Some day they're going to have to cover that, because that's one detail that would be embarrassing if it is not explained. Sounds like a good idea. I also thought it'd be a good idea to watch the missed eps in their original aspect ratio instead of that cropped one. I'm still wondering if that Ganessa eyecatch hit the web in it's full size |

i can speculate that perhaps she didn't need a limiter. since having so many stigmas made her more "nova like," and novas can generate and break through freezing fields by themselves, it may not be necessary for her to have one.

Actually, I'm surprised that the question of Kazuha's limiter hasn't been asked yet. |
