THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Beautiful fight and episode. Full of the same gore and good stuff of episode 10. As usual series tends to be great near the end IMO. It certainly did not disappoint from the very beginning, having a missile launch in the spoiler now that illustrated really well her suffering with the Nova’s stigmata implanted in her. About Elizabeth, I am going to tackle her first because this episode showed the #1 reason why IMO she is the deadliest of the Pandoras. If you notice Elizabeth’s Nova formed crystals with her firing them in the spoiler Problem is that his freezing made Cathy go into berserk overload causing a floor meltdown but one Nova Pandora was down and it’s just too bad her crystal was not crushed because its beating red and that resulted in Elizabeth being knocked off and that Nova Pandora to be in front of Lancelot. This could turn out bad next episode. About Kazuya, he is the man that climbed in this episode with being GAR and a better speech convincing than Touma. Kazuya unfortunately took the wrong time to remind Bridget of him knowing about the senpai. Really wrong time for that. When he started to use his freezing along with his facial expression in the spoiler His picture with his sister was very cute to see him young like that with her. Unfortunately he Cathy’s crystal overwhelmed him and blasted in the most nasty way towards a wall. Now that must have hurt more than anything before. About Bridget’s fight with Cathy, that was not good IMO, they took out too much gore and Kazuya’s involvement was a little too glorified despite making him a bad ass. Bridget suffered a lot more hits than ever before. To name them, she got a first nasty one with a slash at her back. It followed fast with her being slashed repeatedly by Cathy’s monstrous quad Accel speed and as such the most perfect cloth ripping with blood mix in balance came to. Now that scene was really balanced out nicely with cloth rips and blood. Further on she gets slammed into the wall with a aura of what looks like meaning to being slammed at a high speed at the wall. The worst IMO of this fight was when Cathy changed her volt weapon type and pierced into Bridget’s body in the spoiler Despite all that Bridget excelled magnificently while close up shots of her panties were not omitted most nudity was. The really good stuff happens when the OST plays as Bridget’s eyes become all blue and a shape that reminds me of those from Sekirei. Bridget’s wings from her stigmata and the way her Tempest Turn Double Accel was shown was great! She did a nice job of hitting with her Nova Blood the Nova crystal of Cathy, which unfortunately was not enough and got her back online. I noticed at that time how that crystal was linked to her body with those light strings. Despite that Bridget’s super powering and clashing with Cathy in the spoiler Kind of wondering what this is. It looks like a stigmata being born and the machine used to infuse into the woman’s body. No matter what Bridget’s nude figure with its setup in the spoiler Rest in the spoiler About the first fight, it was really perfect in the sense of being straight to the point and straight. Transformation of everyone into arming themselves with their volt weapons was perfect in the spoiler The second part of this fight was so full of win with each Nova Pandora’s pawnage as soon as everyone heard from Elizabeth her finding out the Nova Pandora’s weak point. Ingrid’s volt weapon slam into the crystal of the Nova Pandora and Arnett’s scythe’s pierce in the Nova Pandora’s crystal are IMO the most effective way of killing off that crystal once and for all. The other ways just fail at eliminating it. Attia’s volt weapon slam and wall slam of a Nova Pandora in the spoiler About Rana, Rana suffered a lot and was great in her fight but IMO she suffered too much in damage as well as completely disappointed me in getting KO. Now of course it must hurt like a bitch in regards to what Rana goes through in the spoiler About Genessa, now if anyone was lamer it was Genessa. Now don’t get me wrong, Genessa’s bad ass pose and expression were great as well as my favorite one of her drill attack in the spoiler About preview, the preview leaves really a lot to wonder about but next episode needs the freaking gore! Come on! Bring in more gore than ever and no ecchi at all. They must do it! Anyways, this week’s art in the spoiler |

Looks like we're getting an original ending....thats sad. lol kinda expecting it though since the anime wasnt loyal to the manga. Never the less, this episode is so-so like the others. For those that like this anime, go read the manga, its like 99999999999% better than the anime. Guess the japanese producers ruined the korean manhwa... |

type_silver You're kidding me. Of cause they changed some things to worser but the plot are 95% equal to manga. And I don't think they'll change the ending. Maybe second possessed pandora would be captured not by Shifon but I doubt it.I just finished 6th volume today and they don't make any "critical" changes in this episode. But yes, manga is much better. |

Pretty nice episode lots of action and pretty nice fights. And seeing Atia fight instead of just scheming up a plan to avoid fighting was ironic which also seemed to be pretty tiresome for her. Considering how she acting right after the fight. Garnessa fainting halfway trough the fight was funny tho it wasn't entirely do to fear it was befitting to see and i wonder how she will act next time. Shame Rana sacrificed herself to protect her tho. It just shows what kind of person Rana is who Garnessa thought to be just drag but it turned out Garnessa herself was the drag in this fight. Bridgette joined the fight pretty late and it also seemed she had problems with understanding that Cathy wanted her the help her. That Bridgette understood that she needs Aoi is also about time and i wonder how the baptism will go between them and what Rana will think of it. |

Satellizer was getting on my nerves with the whole "I don't need you thing." If it wasn't for Kazuya, she would be probably be dead right about now. I'm glad she finally realized that Kazuya is not using her as a replacement for his sister. Can't wait to see what this "baptism" thing is all about. |
Mar 26, 2011 6:40 PM

I sure hope I get to see the baptism actually take place, but first I want to see some more good fights. It would be really cool if Satella and Lana would fight together, I would want them both as my partners. |

The head bleeding seemed a little out there imo. I liked the lack of fanservice in this ep, but the fight definitely wasn't as intense as I was expecting. :U |

Geesh....Satella being Tsundere at its finest....glad she finally realized kazuya wasn't just using her (which should have been obvious)She really does pick the WRONG times to be tsundere and settle her social issues. Kazuya gaining his Bad-ass license back little by little. The bloody forehead probably hurt like hell from the pressure from that amount of freezing. Where the hell is Chiffon?! I'm betting she's the LAST LAST line of defense, she's probably hidden in the room the corrupted pandora just broke in, waiting to fuck her up. I hope they show her finally, cause that corrupt pandora is in for a ass whoopin. |

I believe that if they put Mamiko Noto alone in the front, she would have bested most of the group allowing the rest of the losers to gang up on what is left. |

Lol, so much herp and derp this week. Maybe it won't be so lulzy with the finale next week. Villetta_Nu said: Can't wait to see what this "baptism" thing is all about. Probably has dolphins. Jesus what an obscure reference. |
Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |

Also damn he got a hard-ass body, after being flung into a solid concrete wall (what looks like it at least) he just left a hole in it with no apparent wounds what so ever o.O |

Satellizer was a bit annoying with the whole "I don't need your help." and I'm not a fan of Kazuya, but the rest was nice. Freezing has gotten better these past episodes since they're fighting Nova now instead of fucking around and killing each other. |

Fasces349 said: This fight in the manga was about 50 times more epic... I am dissapoint... They always fast forward the fights for some reason, which is kind of stupid considering big fights are from the favorite things of viewers. The basic structure of the plot hasn't completely changed but the events are very different so we might get some new things in the ending since they made such big changes from the manga. Anyway the manga might be better but it wasn't a bad episode simply as an anime episode. Actually it could very well be the best we had with lots of intense scenes and fighting. The whole thing of Satella worrying about being a replacement of his sister was probably a stupid move by the anime staff because the way they solved it in this episode doesn't make much sense though. Did they thought that was going to give the anime extra points than the manga or something? One episode left, if the last episode is at least as good as this one then it will be a relatively good ending. |

Good episode due to action scenes but it still needs more. Kazuya just kept on staring his allies until somebody is on the verge of death. :/ |
Mar 27, 2011 12:12 PM

So, Kazuya's freezing is strong enough to hold a third year rank 1 Nova Pandora? That's pretty strong, meaning Kazuya & Satellizer would make a kickass team, if it isn't like that he would get several, possibly unofficial, but still partners, being as powerful as he is. That would be interesting. |

Very good episode IMO. The fight scenes were awesome - I barely noticed how much time had passed XD Third years were very good, second not so bad. Satella was being annoying when she was like "I don't need your help" (well of course he helped out anyway), and finally realised she's not just a "substitute" So I guess next episode is them defending the body or something? Hope Cassie is all right D; I thought she was asking Satella to kill her ... D; |

Wasabi said: You mean They could've done without all this stupid soap opera about Kazuya and his siscon intentions. I would be severely disappointed if the final episode did not have Ganessa's shining moment and Bridgette's nerdraging against Cassis decapitation and body part ripping, nerd rage is far off in this case. Nerd rage is kind of like Shinji in EVA, right? |

Not having read the manga, I can't offer an opinion on how much content is currently available for a second season (although it sounds from other comments like there is enough), but at some point we will need one to resolve where this is going. Defeating the four upgraded Novas and protecting the Holy Corpse isn't going to end the war! We need much more for a final resolution. Bring on a second season! |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

I loved the epic fight! On a side note I never read the Manga is it as good? But the anime is pretty good, It has a good plot. The action is epic in some degree but the whole self loathing from Satellizer is a pain just like Villetta_Nu said lol. |
