Avrora is the 12th Kaleid Blood, Vatler is probably referring to that. |

Dreyar said: That was Nagisa that kissed Akatsuki? Rinji- said: Those fierce kisses! Really, who Nagisa is? NeoZeon said: Agreed I was just like 'ok... that's enough. No more'Man that "no this is our fight line" is reallyyyy starting to get annoying, was an alright episode the last fight was kind of dull though. |
| "From now on..This is my fight! .. No, Senpai. This is our fight!"is getting very old right now.... Final 2 episodes incoming! |

Dreyar said: Calreth said: If that girl that kissed him was really Nagisa, I hope they do explain in the last two episodes before the season ends. I don't know how anyone would have deduced that she was being possessed by Avrora without prior knowledge from the LN or w/e. The only background that about Nagisa that was explored so far was that she survived a demon attack before. The ending of this arc was really disappointing. The premise up to here had been about how badass Wiseman was, and he makes his appearance and gets defeated in less than half an episode. Seriously? It's painfully obvious even without prior knowledge of the LN. Since you don't seem to pay any attention I'll help you a bit. 1. Whenever Nagisa is possessed her eyes turn Red = Vampire 2. Whoever possesses her seems to know Kojou 3. She seems to know Kojous abilities and familiars = Avrora Seriously is that so hard to figure out? I never really understood the confusion myself. But like the saying goes... different strokes for different folks. Everyone's different, so you can't expect others to have the same way of thinking as yourself. |

| Wait, if Amatsuka and Wiseman only needed a large quantity of salt water, why did Amatsuka think he needed to go after Kanon? If they weren't after Kanon, why did they need to get on that ship? Couldn't they have either snuck on a boat or stolen a boat? That really doesn't make a lick of sense at all. I guess it was just because the plot called for him to be in contact with the main characters so they could fight him. At any rate, the pacing for this arc was pretty decent except for this episode. All of a sudden the pacing just zoomed ahead. That doesn't bode well for them doing the next arc in just two episodes. |
| They forgot about Asagi lying on the dirt, lol. |

Amatsuka was being used by wiseman and sought after kanon thinking she was what wiseman needed to resurrect, which to an extent is true. Had he killed/absorbed her he would've had more power. Ultimately wiseman used him to get the salt water, kill kanon, and draw out Nina Adelard all at the same time. Or so I believe based on the events in this episode. Pathetically he only managed to use the salt water and was quickly taken care of after Kojou's temporary level up. |

That's literally all he had to do to get his power back. Getting on a boat is easy. Getting on a boat when you're on a relatively small island is even easier. It doesn't make sense that he'd spend all that time deceiving Amatsuka when he only needed to do that one thing all along. |
| So, what happened to Asagi's real body? Did she just wake up and leave, even though it was the core that supposedly kept her alive after she was sliced in half? When that 'mysterious' girl kissed Koujou, I knew that was Nagisa. Though she resembles Yukina a lot, the main difference lies in their eye colors. Nagisa's are a more reddish-brown, whereas Yukina's eyes are a lighter shade of brown. The difference is sometimes hard to see, but it is there. As for the overused line, as long as Koujou keeps getting it wrong, Yukina will keep on correcting him. he should know by now that Yukina isn't going to let him fight his battles alone, so if he just rephrased that line, I think less people would go into a pile of steaming rage over it, either. Heck, why does it bother people so much, anyway? |

| I reeeeeally hate Himeragi. The worst annoying main heroine in a long time. Unfunny jokes about him being a pervert is really fucking ticking me off. But when Kojou said "This is my fight!" I literally scream at my screen "SHUT UP HIMERAGI!!" before she said her usual bullshit line. Why am I even watching this show? |

It doesn't make sense that he'd spend all that time deceiving Amatsuka when he only needed to do that one thing all along. Honestly I don't know. My comment was me attempting to make sense of everything that went on this episode. Maybe because Wiseman didn't want Amatsuka to realize he was never actually human like he thought he was in fear of Amatsuka turning on him before he regained his power? Or so I'd assume. Remember Amatsuka did do all the dirty work in retrieving his new body before he found out the truth. Again just a possibility. |

| Man, boobs and butts everywhere this episode. I mean really, at this point who cares about the plot? lol this Daiyonshinsou thing is getting old quick, just give me some more Himeragi. |

bonifide said: Ok episode but i truly hate Yukina. They always pick the worse female characters for the lead. We all know who should be the lead. She already stalks and jealous its damn annoying. Really wish La Folia or Sayaka was the main character and make Yukina get screen time like his sister or something. I feel you. 80% of shows have waste female leads. Supporting females are more interesting most of the time. |
 |
| BOOOOO!!!! Should have ended this series after the previous Arc because this alchemist crap killed it for me....Downgraded from an 8 to a 6, and I was being lenient. The constant emasculation of Kojou reminds me of a terrible anime called Walker Romanze. Just too corny and did I just see Paimon from Magi appear as a familiar?! Cameo lol? |
 |
Edon613 said: I don't see the problem with the line, I think it's cute. If you don't like it, don't watch it. So, they're animating the short story. Awesome. Shutup....seriously you are as annoying as Himeragi. |
|
| Well that boss battle was too quick, but whatever we saw sexy blue lady. As for people complaining about the catchphrase, it's a catchphrase. If they didn't use it every time it wouldn't be a catchphrase. |

Hibbington said: Well that boss battle was too quick, but whatever we saw sexy blue lady. As for people complaining about the catchphrase, it's a catchphrase. If they didn't use it every time it wouldn't be a catchphrase. Well, I know a catchphrase is a catchphrase, and it has to be used a few times to be called that, but you can have a catchphrase that sounds and is good, but Yukina's line is just pure annoying. As an example for a good catchphrase, there is one from the main character from Katanagatari: "However, by that point you'll be torn into pieces." So there is good catchphrases and bad ones. |
| So, most of you can find nothing better to bitch about than the catchphrase? I mean, if their catchphrase is all you can find to bitch about then this series must be one of the best leftovers from the Fall Season. If there was really anything wrong with it, anything that actually deserved to be bitched about, wouldn't you be bitching about that instead? On to the stuff that matters. I was surprised they ended this arc here, I expected it to be drug out for at least one more episode, if not til the last episode. But, from what I understand they're animating a short story that was included in the LNs for these last two. Not sure how that will turn out, but it can't be that bad. All the hate for Yukina, really? She's young, she's been sheltered by the Lion King Organization her entire life, she's insecure and immature, and she's been forced to act more like an adult than an actual kid. Do you really expect someone with that sort of life to be a normal, well-balanced, middle school girl? All things considered, I think she's handling this new life of hers quite well. Her relationship with Koujo is new to her, love is extremely new to her, so she's unsure how to handle her own feelings and gets embarrassed when people bring it up. Seems pretty natural to me, but then again I guess it's against the law to have realism in your anime characters, eh? I won't officially rate this series until it's finished, but so far I'm looking at about an 8/10. |

| A lot happened in this episode. Another death scare, and kiss scenes. |

I won't officially rate this series until it's finished, but so far I'm looking at about an 8/10. Looks like someone's being butthurt because "OMG they complain about my favorite character, how dare they do that, how dare they not like her!?" lol. So I guess other girls are already used to love, right? Yeah, natural, realistic to the point I've never seen any girl act like that in middle school. Sayaka is in the same organization, yet why isn't she being possessive and annoying despite also being a tsundere? Do you know why people only complain about that catchphrase? Because at least 60% of the people here find nothing amazing about the story so they don't even care anymore. Also well-written character =/= we have to like them, and in this case Yukina is not even well-written lol. So, you're the only one I could bait with my post? Oh well, guess I can't really expect intelligent debate from people who gripe about catchphrases. My first question... Butthurt? I don't think I even want to know what that was supposed to mean... You bring up Sayaka to defend your point, probably not the best character to use. I mean, if you've actually watched any of the scenes that contain her anyway. Possessive and annoying? Check. Lets see, all those lines about "my Yukina" when attacking Koujo for breathing the same air as Yukina? That strikes me as possessive, but I guess it don't count since it's not her being possessive over Koujo? As for realism to her character, she has personality flaws of her own. She hates men, won't even talk to them on the phone, and freaks when a man touches her. Koujo is the first man she's gotten attached to, so much so that she displays some of the same "love" characteristics around him as Yukina and Asagi. So, there's your possessive and annoying about Sayaka. Next? Now that I've finished playing with the children, I'm moving on from this thread, there's this week's episode to discuss. |

| Nice episode an Asagi look alike with Fake breast... Kojou grabbing sayaka's breast.... I am so sick of Yukina and her "iie sempai,........" catch phrase. |

| Does Kojou love Asagi? |
highwinddv said: The_Bif said: highwinddv said: The_Bif said: You didn't even read the whole thing lol, the only thing you did was picking out only the part that I said about Sayaka. Clearly you were being butthurt. You get all defensive when people complained about something that you like. Or maybe you're trying to sound cool by looking down on people? Do you think that by trying to act like you're superior, it means you won? Lol yeah I didn't expect much from a 35 years-old guy who still watch mostly ecchi and harem stuff either. LOL! To be perfectly honest, baiting people on here is just something I do when I'm bored. Mainly because it's easy. I actually did read your entire post, but I can't really pick apart the bit about people not caring about the story. While the story is good, you're right that it's nothing amazing. So, nothing much to go on there. The well-written character bit goes back to what I've been saying about Yukina and Sayaka, they may not be the best developed characters in any anime but certainly better developed than the rest of the female characters in this series. So calling me out as a 35 year old guy who watches ecchi and harem anime, is that supposed to insult me? Embarrass me? Make you better than me? I don't quite get what you're going for there, I mean, I do but I don't find it nearly as negative as you must. That brings us back to the "butthurt" thing... Still not sure what kind of word that's supposed to be. But, moving on, I wouldn't exactly say I was being defensive simply because there were people complaining about something I like. I have an antagonistic personality, and I get bored easy, a bunch of people griping about a catchphrase presented an opportunity. I don't even remember what brought up the issues with Yukina and Sayaka, and I'm too lazy to read back and see. On that note, this has devolved from the original topic and I am finished with this thread. I hadn't planned on replying anymore after my last post, but apparently you think attacking me directly is going to prove something. I was trying to antagonize someone, anyone, into debate about this series or some aspect of this series with my original post. When I responded to your reply I hoped you would put forth some effort into proper discussion, since that's not what you've given me I am ending this here. |

| Wonder why no one was surprised when Nagisa helped awaken Kojou's familiar. Was definitely expecting that breast grope on Sayaka. Looks like a new member to Natsuki-chan's collection. Surprised that they ended the arc here. What's left of the remaining 2 eps? |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| 3/5 Shame on the authors, get to baste everything I'm unbelievably history and me close with four nonsense, drawing them even evil? But joking? D: Little appeal in the narrative and harem growing in all directions, bah! Animations ridiculous and recycling of scenes everywhere. Combat unappetizing story that always keeps you light on issues, give us a short cut to get us out and see something better. |
 |
| When Kujou said "This is my fight" I was thinking "...wait for it" and the moment Yukina said "iie senpai", I lost it completely. This storyline was ok but probably my least favorite so far. Two episodes to go, personally I just want to finish this already. |
