Pretty good episode. Some background info on Tiffania and her past and Saito getting knighted =D. Really liked Tiffania's song also :D. Cant wait for it to come out on the OST.

Go Captain Saito lol. Will post screnies later.

Edit: Dog Version Louise in the next episode looks promisingly funny :D

I was amused by the fact that Tiffania being an elf was a huge shock. Elves aren't usually built like that. I guess it's nice that there's a plot developing, but it looks like we're back to the usual silliness I actually watch this show for in the next episode.

Much, much MUCH better episode.
More story and toned down the fanservice greatly.
Good episode - the first one of this season so far I enjoyed the whole way through; lets hope for more to come.

Holy cow, Saito Chevalier de Hiraga! Not much is happening but episode throughout pretty much with the main cast getting comfortable with each other and enemy plotting in the darkness. Couple of scenes made me lol'd. I'm also glad they're finally touching the academy again - old school Zero no Tsukaima. I was also kinda amused with the celebration. Saito used to be bullied around but now everyone recognize him as a hero and Knight who saved the country.

Also, Tifa's song is nice. :)

Next episode... I think the blonde twin tail girl could be that rumored transfer student? She's apparently a princess of Kurgan Horoff(?). Would love to see more developments and new stuff. Nice to see old cast like Guiche and Kirche back.

This episode felt pretty slow for me but at least it had plenty of developments, to broaden the story like Tiffania being half-elf & Henrietta's cousin and many many more. Well now that they back in the academy, I'm expecting more of the old characters & some of the new ones.

A good episode, it was nice that they toned down the fan service. A few good and funny scenes were in this eps I really enjoyed Saito getting Siesta as a maid... that is trouble with a capital T. Although, I expected more from that then just a brief argument with Louise. Even if it was just a simple gag with her trying to bathe with him under the pretense of washing him. Well maybe later they will use that.

Hmm more and more I am thinking the main villain is the father of Tabitha or at least in some way related to her. (as evident by the family crest on his chest).

Yeah, this episode definitely seemed to be wrapping up the loose ends of the first little arc. Wasn't too bad. I'm anticipating a lot of sparks flying come episode 4, though. I'm not sure where Henrietta got the idea to make Saito's love life even more complicated by making Siesta his personal maid.

i still don't find the main story particularly interesting, but at least they're back to the academy.

i agree with what some others have said, i'm glad the fan service was toned down, and tifa's adorable when they don't have her boobs defy laws of gravity. saito getting siesto as a maid was a pretty funny part though.

and hey, another ep without a whipping! though it looks like saito takes a beating next ep.

I found this episode slooow. Some plot developed but it was still so slooow. Tifa's song was nice and I wonder if she has any insight as far as the lyrics go. This episode is definitely leading up to a battle royal of the female cast.

All we need for Saito now is some sort of super hero theme now!
Lol Captain Saito.

It has been a great new series so far. Ultimate harem blowout now though which will cause quite a problem for the actual story side of the show, especially with new girls being thrown into the mix too.

Altogether fantastic tho. 5/5

Why where they surprised she was an elf? Didn't the Queen tell them to go look for the elf girl that saved Saito lol? They mention shes an elf like 3 times in the previous episodes and the last episode in the second season.

Also why are they still leaving out the part about Saito and Louise being married? Every time a girl gets close to Saito, Louise goes bat shit crazy but she never mentions that they're married or tells the other girls off saying "thats my husband". Whats with that? Does she like the challenge or something?

I hate to sound like a broken record but what happened to previous plot from the last season? Sure the wars over but the previous women that was an enemy is still alive somewhere. Also what happened to returning the item to the lady of the lake? Where is the other knight guy that took care of Louise on the air ship? He seems to have totally disappeared. He's not even shown in the OP where all the characters are together.

Errr I feel like we've been looking at the same setting forever. Thank god where at the school now. If they had another episode with Saito and crew in the woods or with the queen id probably cry. This episode did feel a little better then the last few. My opinion may change about this season.

+1 on all your points except about the setting lol

I wish there was a brief synopsis of what happened in the war..and how everything was resolved..
And likewise, I really do wish..Louise was more subtle and calm...but I guess..her jealousy and anger is a reflexive thing..and symbolic of the she's still a kid and there's al ot of growing to do..

That's so true. Even in the last episode of season 2, Saito said, that he was rescued by a big-breasted elf. But well, plot holes happen.

But the other thing you mentioned is really bothering me, too. Maybe it was not a real marriage but only s.t. like pre-marriage. A promise but not actually husband and wife. Hopefully we will find out more later on.

I enjoyed the episode nontheless. Louise only was a little mean to him one time. That's actually quite the development. The other interesting thing, was Saito thinking about her when Tifa touched him. So Mistress Louise finally sucessfully tamed him? xD

I have mixed feelings about Saito becoming a knight, though. He is now the same as those stupid nobles he always despised, because of their honor and pride. I have the feeling that he sold himself to Henrietta by becoming her servant. She is a wicked woman. :p Maybe she will give him some bad orders later on, which he can not refuse because of his new position.
Funny that Siesta was appointed as his maid. ^^"

hmm...i thought Saito mentioned that a fairy saved him. so it could've been a mistranslation. i think he used the term yousei or something.

but anyway, i thought it was a nice episode. the more Tiffania, the better.

i think its best to listen to what is being said rather than look at the subs could i'm pretty sure two different things are being said and that its just a mistranslation. i'd check it myself but I'm to lazy to dig out S2.

Hmmm this season is still behind the first two in terms of characters and script but this episode was a bit better I think, mainly thanks to Tifannia's story. Not that great though.

Unlike last week, we get to see more of Tiffania ! c: Her mother seems rather important, hopefully we find out more later on. There’s still the lingering issue of if Tiffania is the other Void user or not, but I'm going with "she is,". Ohhh and Tifa's song was pretty.

I like how Louise expressed herself to Tiffania in end, and thanked her., <3 ~ And the fact that Saito heard Louise's voice while getting close to Tiffania made me smile, her training has paid off !

I too love seeing the old cast, I missed them ! ;__; yay for next episode, because ;

Bakalise or Geloise ... kind of tipical gelosy for a noble lady imo ... so nothing special there ... and sometimes even boring watching it ... overall for this episode a not realy deserved 3/5 which left me like

I thought it was a fairly respectable episode.

Nonetheless, the whole "Tiffiana is an elf?" thing was messed up. I'm sure they mentioned elf many times before. Oh well - Tiffiana is my favorite character from ZnT as of now~ It was nice to see a little less spazzing from Louise in this episode and I'm glad they're back at the academy.
