The production staff REALLY lack money on this project, and it shows. While Clouceau's fight against the single Codarl-m and pretty well done, the rest of the graphics are a bit off, though we all know that and I'll settle for now. (At least they put those BGM for some good use)
And yes, I expected Tessa's foul will just at this level, since it's a broadcasted show man. B)

I think this is a good episode, I do not see all those problems that talk so much, maybe because the series does not mean so much to me or because even americans movie with budgets of 300 million dollars still use to sloppy CG and I can enjoy watching them, never I found nothing perfect, though.

Just a question, is this the last part of the series, or are there more stories?

There is far more. We still haven't seen Kaname and the cour is about to end.

This arc will be the last part of the current anime season, but there are 2 more novels that can be animated after this - Approaching Nick Of Time and Always Stand By Me.

Considering the fact that this season animated 3 novels - Continuing On My Own, Burning One Man Force and Come Make My Day - and that ASBM is actually split into 2 parts, they should have enough material for another 12 episodes - if they decide to animate it.

I thought the episode was solid. Though I do think the visuals suffered at points, mostly just during that phone call Tessa made near the end. She isn't moving and neither are her troops. Couldn't they make that still image look remotely decent? The only animation needed was her mouth, Mao looked so goofy (and not because of the shocked expression at Tesssa's language) it was hard to avoid laughing.

Still, nice to see Tessa again and getting that group back involved in the story. I know Sousuke is the lead, but I did miss that group.

DAT fake out lol.

When I heard Mao's voice I almost jumped for joy.

Ok, so here I am once again to finish this show now that I began watching the last story arc for this season.

It was a well deserved slowing-down of pace, since the aftermath at Namsac.

Tessa played the amnesiac card to bait herself in order to lure out Amalgam, and it was Mithril's turn to get back at them.

Glorious was witnessing Tessa using coarse language to make Mithril's position clear against both Amalgam and her brother.

Meanwhile, Chidori hasn't lost her spunkiness to Leon Testarossa but emulating her lifestyle back home, until Sousuke comes to rescue her; never giving up the fight that Sousuke died.

And, yes, Sousuke had a close call with death after the gunfight with Kurama, but they managed to keep him in the land of the living, although he's once again trapped in a pinch and, worst of all, seemingly defenseless as Amalgam forces were closing on him.
