(L+CR) Phi Brain: God's Puzzle (all seasons)

[Rima-Chan]

I laughed my ass off watching this episode

Spoiler for Episode 10:

Seriously, those guys are idiots xD They could make puzzle out of anything! No wonder Nonoha is getting annoyed by them, when all they do is think of puzzles...But that's their purpose~ This anime is centered around puzzles xDDDD And how did she ended up in the sea? Fully clothed, with luggage!? Did they throw her out of plane??xD My japanese isn't so good so even if she said something about it I didn't understand it xD

Next week: Finally Nonoha centered episode, can't wait for that She looks good in that swimsuit :3 Chie-chan too~

[Kitsu Breaker]

Why I can't hold all this Puzzle?

[Rima-Chan]

Hahahahah! Just watched it with subs xD This episode was hilarious xD
Lol at Nonoha Kaito was right when he said he wouldn't be surprised if she swam all the way- And she did!

[Patriot's Blade]

whoa! scary Ana fan/manservice.... my poor fragile eyes!! X_X & no one seems to notice poor Elena's assets........

next ep, Nonoha fanservice!! but wait, something's missing, her hairstyle, that hairband, remove the damn hairband like you did in the op!!!

[EroKing]

All of those facial expressions by Elena were highly amusing to watch.

^My best one

[totoum]

When the credits rolled I was like this

Spoiler for ep 10:

WHAT???? NO NONOHA IN A BIKINI???THIS IS IS MADNESS!MADNESS I TELL YOU!MADNESS!WHATCH OUT SUNRISE,I'M GOING TO SWIM OVER TO YOUR HQ IF I HAVE TO,THERE WILL BE PAYBACK!!

Then I watch the preview

Spoiler for preview:

Oh wait,That preview
THANK YOU SUNRISE!And not only that but a Nonoha centric episode?Next week can"t come soon enough

As for the rest of the episode

Spoiler for ep10:

Nonoha coming out of nowhere swimming was just epic.
The anime did a nice job of making fun of itself and how everything in it seems to revolve around puzzles.
Poor Elena,Anna totally stole the show but she did look splendid!And I guess we'll be seeing more of her now,that's good news as well.

[ars89]

How dare they make us wait another week for Nonoha in her bikini. Those 4 really are puzzle freaks. Oh man Ana exposed his top! Glad Elena transferred so we can see more of her. Liked how they got it right that Nonoha would swim to the island.

[ShiroiRyu]

Oh man ...
Elena boobies ... *___*
And anyways, not that bad !

[Diveman]

Spoiler for Episode 11:

Nice episode overall, kinda nice to see Nonoha finding her true motive to stay in the group rather than force herself to be someone she's not. Also I can't help but pointing out the uselessness of Souji in this episode, he actually didn't do anything at all.

But well, next week we get a Souji centered episode vs Minotaurus, we'll see how he does.

[Patriot's Blade]

i guess Gyammon's hardworking-ness even while having a day off has resulted him in thinking that he's a main character of Ore wa Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii ga nai, poor dude....

Well his imouto and the imouto from that show share the same VA

Fun episode, I always thought of Nonoha as a cheerleader but I guess she's more of a babysitter

[Diveman]

also I forgot but, lol at Anna yelling "Akuma! Oni!!"...I try to think of Anna as a girl so im fine, if not, my mind is gonna collapse.

[ShiroiRyu]

12 : This ending ! O_O
Next time, i want our heroin to be one ...

[kuromitsu]

Due to some inconveniences I couldn't get around watching the last two eps until yesterday, uu~

The Nonoha ep was cute, although it's a bit sad that even though she now realizes she's not useless in the group, she still goesn't get any respect. XD;; Poor girl, I hope she'll have a chance to shine in the story.

As for last week's ep, wow, I didn't expect Souji to be the next target... I wonder how long this is going to last. Also, I can't say I missed Rook. ^^;; Wasn't he supposed to be on a trip to widen his horizons or something? Though I suppose he's still the acting head of POG... (Also, did he and Bishop kill those Orpheus Order guys??)

And I kind of want a showdown between Bishop and Whist.

[kuromitsu]

Wow, this episode was more intense than I expected.

Spoiler for ep 13 (? I think):

The handling of Souji was pretty good, the twist in the end actually worked. Also, APPLE JUICE SAVES THE DAY, oh yeah! xD

The puzzle, though, it was so cute. xD It's hard to take puzzle fights seriously when you have tiny, adorable red & blue trams running around on the board.

But to be honest, I already can't wait for the next episode, because omg HERBERT!! I honestly didn't expect him to ever come back, so he's a nice surprise. Can't say the same about Rook, I'd rather not see him take over the stage from Freecell & the Orpheus Order. Which is why I'm happy that we'll finally see Freecell & gang again, I've been missing them in the last four weeks.

We're halfway into the second season - I wonder how the characters will come together for the plot.

[kuromitsu]

Am I the only one still watching this? Ah well...

Elena and Souji out, Bishop and Rook in. I hope this doesn't mean Elena is going to be written out of the story, Souji leaving was bad enough... And Elena was so cute in this ep!

Spoiler for ep 14:

I'm sure Rook fans are very happy now, but as I don't really like Rook I'm quite the opposite... ^^;; And why did they have to do his return like this? Sure it was dramatic and all, but argh, poor Nonoha. :/ She just gets no respect whatsoever, does she? ^^;; I just hope Rook won't steal the spotlight from the rest of the harem, and the story won't end up a Rook vs Freecell bitchfight over Kaito... -_-)

But I'm happy to see Herbert back! I missed his special brand of craziness. I wonder how long he's going to stay, though... I'm also happy to finally see the Orpheus gang again, they've been away for far too long. I hope they'll be getting back into the spotlight now...

The Uu & Nou Twins were pretty... random. They even looked like they were from a different series ("a-ha!" I hear the designer say, "but they're Chinese!" ^^;;; btw maybe it's Wu and No, who knows.), and their speech patterns were completely out of place, too. o_O) Wtf? Couldn't have someone else done this instead of two random characters? Like, Doubt and Mizerka, or something?

Next time: little Freecell and his start of darkness. Apparently he used to be blond? O_o)

Spoiler for ep 14:

I know what you mean I kind of like Rook, his normal self that is, not Yandere version from S1 (or Yanhomo, as they call hin on 2 ch xD) And I think it's nice on the other hand that Nonoha got to finally participate in puzzle and not totally fail at it as we we're conditioned to believe. But I was bothered by her exit from the scene too. I know it was for Rook's comeback and all, but it really seemed degrading for her....
What was even point of it? To show Herbert's bitterness towards them? To further fuel KaiRook fujioshi fanbase? My brains gonna expolode when I open pixiv and tumblr later with all yaoi around xDDDDD
I can only wait subs to get whole picture on this -_____- but I don't think we will see much of Herbert in future, so there has to be more to it...I mean to the fact that Nonoha got to solve puzzle along with Kaito, cause right now it seems pointless for the plot

Spoiler:

Ah yes, Herbert is back I missed his hysteric rage fits too, I was laughing my ass of when he broke that tea set

I think I saw Kumiki on tumblr point out that their names are pun for UNO

Really? I don't think that boy with dog is Freecel O___O I think he might be someone related to Melancholy, and we're gonna see more of "behind the scenes" of Orpheus Order next too :3.

Spoiler:

I'm the opposite: I was never a fan, but I quite liked yandere villain!Rook because he was entertaining. But Normal Rook.... I find him uninteresting. I just keep thinking, his story is already over, why is he getting back into the main cast again? And yes, pixiv is already in OMG ROOK-SAMA IS BACK mode. XD;; I don't mind, btw, it's just that... what is Rook doing here again? We've seen enough of him, give me the Orpheus Order! But apparently the staff really likes his, ahem, friendship with Kaito. XD;;

And yes, poor Nonoha! I somehow thought she was going to make it somehow, but when Herbert said it was OK to change partners I already knew what was coming. >.>) She started well and then ended up being useless again. :/

Spoiler:

Well, to be honest I think it was just to set up Rook's comeback. If it was someone else from the harem there would've been no reason to change because they're all competent puzzle solvers. Changing even Ana to Rook would've looked pretty bad, never mind someone like Gammon. But it's an accepted fact that Nonoha sucks at puzzles, so she could be replaced. >_>)

Spoiler:

Herbert's little fits will never stop being funny. XD I wonder who provides him with an endless supply of tea utensils now that he's out of POG... XD;;

.....they are, aren't they! *facepalm* I never thought of that (just goes to show how dim I am today). XDDD;;

Hmmm, I don't know... It's the hair and the eyes (though I suppose the hair lacks the front bangs between the eyes?), also the fact that apparently Freecell is supposed to be blond... But yeah, it could be just a random kid. I don't know which I want more. XD I know I just want some more focus on the Orpheus Order, for villains they haven't really done a lot so far.

Hahahah xD I guess everyone have something to like Rook for, even the one's who are not big fans of him to begin with, huh? xD ^__^

Yeah I guess so....-______- But like you said in previous quote, which I'm gonna quote again xD

She started well and then ended up being useless again.

This might as well fuel further her feelings of uselessness, showing she's not quite over the fact that she doesn't fit n among her puzzle-oriented friends, and now that Rook is here who get's Kaito really well, as Bishop himself said about them (u know, because they were separated for so long but they know what each other needs naturally) can make her feel even more alienated and lead to some sort of plot twist with her leaving/betraying the group, like it's been predicted from the beginning because of the OP/ED and all xD.....

Yeah, it's definitely random kid. Girl, to be more specific (I think) there's summary below preview here

[Rima-Chan]

Also, there are three changes in the OP, not just one.
If you pay close attention you'll see Freecel's pendant shatters, and there is Herbert officially now in the Orpheus Order near the end where you see each member with armlet on.
