Only 2 episode left, at last

I have little expectation, but if they can pull it with at least half-decent ending I'll be happy.

If this is filler, well....



Let's see what they can deliver.

[tripleshift]

Happened to find a raw (and yes, this early!). I wrote up a long post, but it got deleted when I got logged out for whatever reason while typing (seriously??)

Anyway, to sum it up:

Spoiler:

Filler episode with random action in because they could. Tabane is probably working with PT now because Madoka is still with them. Rin vanishes for half the episode because everybody hates China. In short, meh.

Also this album basically demonstrates why this isn't complete crap (warning: more spoilers!)

Spoiler for screenshot captions:

1-2: Tatenashi springs up from a luggage bag. Because logic.
3: Reaction
4-7: Best sisterly bonding session
8: Disposing of the garbage (aka Tatenashi)
9: ...right, because it's Tatenashi.

[blitz1/2]

Well, we have the Tatenashi/Squall meeting of volume 6 I guess in this ep. But yea, what a boring ep, you are not going to like this Zero.

[zibi88]

god... even in the last 2episodes we cant get rid of fillers... 3minutes of acton.. rest pure fanservice...

[MisaoFan]

Spoiler for Episode 11:

By disregarding Ichika's usual denseness as well plenty of service shots, I liked the part when the students go on a trip to Kyoto, I find it very enjoyable. Like I said many episodes ago, the real plot of the story comes way too late so does the villains. They are introduced much later and I find it hard to care what's going on though. I kinda liked some moments of this episode too and while I wasn't the only one to find the second season a pure time-filler compared to the previous one, it was average if it wasn't for the dragged storyline.

[ZeroXSEED]

> Trip to Kyoto

SEX YOURSELF 8-BIT

YOU CAN MAKE THIS OVA AND IT'LL WORK BUT NOOO IT HAS TO BE IN THE TV BECAUSE EVERYONE DID IT TOO! IT'S A STAPLE OF HIGH SCHOOL, REALLY!

YOU FREAKNG SONOVAWHORE WILL NOT GET MY MONEY FOR THAT OVA OR TV SERIES DVD RELEASE, MARK MY WORDS!

[Tempest35]

*sneaks off with many photos of Chifuyu-nee*

Wings seems to be robbed off Silent Zephyr tho

[zibi88]

well from ep1 we knew that madokas is will look like butterfly... and now we can see her more up close.... and to that the authors decided to name it oposite to ichikas... "kuro-shki" while ichika "byaku-shki"

so mostly they will do like in season1 and activate ichika back to "shift 2 look" making us belive that this is powerup.... while it should be his standard look from ep1 (since setsura comes with that)


anyway what is nice are the 3flashbacks of past... we see chifuyu in 3different years of their life (it kinda looks more like mother-son then sister-brother to me)... and the last 3minutes that give a slight hope of some action

[Rokumonsen]

Just finished watching it. And what the hell is Kuroshiki? Seriously?

There are 2 scenarios for this:
Izuru is teasing the novel readers for his next volume releases (which may feature Madoka's "Kuroshiki", or an original ending (because there will be no S3).

And what's with Ichika and random photo shots? Doing a Tsukasa Kadoya?

[DarkJak2050]

If you guys say that it's as bad as you say it, then I won't be able to use Season 2 as a whole as reference material for my fic.

[kampfer91]

Hmm , what i can see in here is .....

Spoiler for next ep:

Ichika being useless again and captured by Madoka so as to lure Chifuyu since Madoka declare in ep 11 that her true target is Chifuyu .

The novel up until 8 is decent

8 is only good for masturbating

Sounds like the franchise is really going down the drain.

And apparently, Izuru doesn't care about it at all.

[Newhope]

This season is so bad it's actually funny.
