Episode 18 - Shinsen

It was quite a good episode. There's some deeper idea behind the actions of Noein, as Haruka's powers seem to be reaching the omnipotent state, and fighting her directly might not be an option. But Noein said he's little invasion already did what he needed to be done, so apparently there's something going on Haruka & co have no idea of. Some causality stuff, possibly. And we still don't actually know what role the Magic Circle project of that one unmoral businessman exactly plays in the bigger picture.
