What is it?


I've had my suspicions for weeks... but isn't the 10 score that is voted before I vote one of those "pre-votes" or whatever they call votes that are voted before the anime air?

[Farplaner]

>_> Even I'll admit this episode isn't very enjoyable

Spoiler:

- The first half was pretty much all fan service. It was okay... Just more of the same. Felt more like a filler than anything else

- The encounter with that elf was over quickly, and they rescued Tabitha just like that? It was all over too fast. The reading scenes (and the whole rescue plot) seem pretty pointless.

Spoiler for ED character:

This week is Tabitha!

[crystalalien87]

Oh its nothing just waiting for your summary of the episode lol

everything happened in one episode? how sad...maybe the next epi will be the fight with that monster looking thing? and last will be a mad sex fanservice party lol

[serenade_beta]

*GAPE*
Fu... Fuza... FUZAKERUNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn you, JC Staff! You could have spread the development into two episodes or three and finished this arc decently! But you plan to go anime-original, use Jormungant, and rushed this arc to pieces! Are you an idiot?! Gwaaaahhhh!!!!

Spoiler for ep11...:

......*looks out the window*
Good day, isn't it... Hah...

This is how the episode is made up:

16 minutes: Fanservice, dancing, tricking the enemy soldiers by placing a sleeping potion in the alcohol and having them drink it, and defeating a lolicon.
Rest: All of a sudden, we go into serious mode, the elf appears, elf is defeated in minutes thanks to Louise using Dispel on Derflinger, and Tabitha is rescued. ALL-LIKE-THAT.

There is clearly something wrong with the time used, isn't there?!

Oh, and the episode has Saito losing control of himself and trying to assault Louise again.

To be honest, I was perfectly fine with the fanservice part. The art was good and erotic and the comedy was funny... ONLY because I was expecting the arc to continue in the next episode. But, no, in the end, the fanservice only ended up shortening the amount of time for the serious stuff!
Thanks to that, the serious scenes were hardly impressive or emotionally moving...

I keep hearing "E Bal D" whenever Tabitha says Ivaldi...

And for people curious about Colbert...
He gets immediately released thanks to his students, and Agnes pretty much goes "I still want to kill you even now, but I'm letting you go because the students will hate me and the chain of hatred needs to be cut" and everything is solved. Yay.

Preview: ................I have a real bad feelings about this... Jormungant, Joseph, Tabitha getting close to Saito, uwah...

[gabbytay]

Utter crap....

[crystalalien87]

[Farplaner]

To me, it is easily the worst ep out of all 11 ep

JC Staff always goes anime-original... has the first two seasons taught you nothing

Sorry but i gave it a 8/10... im not as harsh on the story vs novel thing but it was kinda pointless at parts... im guessing Saito tackled Louise cuz she said something to provoke him but i really didnt enjoy that part... her dancing was hilarious!!! and the kiss almost getting caught thing was funny... The potion falling out of her top was funny, the dude having his flat chest fetish was funny and saito holding louise was cute... elf vs saito was short... they should have stretched it out till the end and concluded it next episode but oh well...
On to another note LOUISE was SO FUCKING CUTE it wasnt even funny... there almost kissing scenes is getting annoying.. this is like the 2nd or 3rd one this season... i see another next episode and a real kiss on the last... im telling u guys that the last episode is going to have a intimate scene between them... saito wants to tap dat ass lol....

[Kinku]

even though im not a big fan in this type of anime i been having a hell lot of fun watching Alto and Louise interaction with each other. It seem to me thier contract as familiar and Master is same as marriage preaty much.... they are like a young married couple ..

Too bad the deleters are all so bloody desperate to delete everything. And since the new arrivals have been crazy for the past day or two, everyone is assembling in chat room videos to watch...

Uuu... I got my hopes up after the previous episode...

[Darknemo2000]

Could they made it any worse?

Well considering directors mindset "screw-everything-up-we-need-boobs" it probably could have been worse. But not much. It was so rushed that it isn't even funny. It is not sad either. Just pathetically empty and pointless.

[crystalalien87]

well im guessing the Jormungant thing will be the new focus? was this a good fight in the novel?

[Darknemo2000]

Well the 7th volume end fight was more epic, but it wasn't bad. But again, the novel and anime standards are different.

Anime do not care about the scene being epic or touching - if it doenst ahve boobs/fanservice then it is either rushed or skipped all together.

[longshot]

eversince they introduced irukuku/syphid in its all been about boobs and saito's failing relationship with louise, otherwise the episode felt like "meh"

[crystalalien87]

u know regardless of how stupid things are going on ATM i still wanted to watch episode 13..it seems like it was cancelled altogether maybe that rumor of the special airing in december will be it...What a shame...

[ayu]

episode 13 is the episode which is going to be released along with the dvds in december. hence it won't be aired on television

[crystalalien87]

that sucks i wonder what it could be? and ideas novel readers?
