AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!!
I'm going to go nuts!
WHY?!?! WHY?!?! Where is my Saito HAX?!
I was so ready for it from the start of the episode, but no, they put on a huge cock tease. WTF.
This show completely sucks now... I'm willing to put my money on the next episode brushing the fight off as well <_<
Hard to believe it's already the 9th episode...
Episode 9 - Your-Mom

Edit: Oh... Somehow I didn't see this coming. One of the better episodes so far, no doubt. Little comedy but other aspect more than made up for it. While it was obvious from the previous episode Colbert is the Captain, I still didn't foresee him getting killed.

I really hated this episode. I don't know why, maybe it's cause the series thus far has been so boring and then they bring this in. I wasn't really surprised when it happened, but I was really really aggravated. I seriously don't know why, but that's what I was feeling the whole episode especially once Anies decides to attack Colbert. I couldn't count how many things just annoyed me for apparently no reason, like Kirche getting annoyed when Tabatha told her to wait more, Louise blushing because she untied ropes, Anies' deranged and crazed face the whole episode, when the teacher told them not to engage to enemy but they did anyways, the bad guy's "I can feel your temperature!" shpiel. Maybe I'm just PMS'ing or something because normally these things happening in another series wouldn't bother me, but this put me in a bad mood.

I had quite the same feeling, as if the scenarist were waking up after puting the audience in such a sleep... and having audience rates hitting bottom hard.Originally Posted by animus
But I guess it's not that, since it's probably impossible for a show to be modified quickly enough to adapt to audience figures.

Despite the fact I kind of liked this episode, I do understand what you fellows are talking about. I think one of the big reasons is that this second season hasn't generally delivered as well as the first did, in my opinion (and I think in other people's opinions as well). When it has been a slope for so long, you get used to annoying details failures. Many of those things Animus mentioned indeed bothered me as well, but I'm really a fan of important characters dying in a meaningful manner, so it was a big remedy for me, personally.
WORSTEST EPISODE EVAR (including the fact Colbert died)
wow... I didn't think it could get any worse, not just the episode, the whole show fails.

I'm getting it right now.

This season is starting to look really worse than the first one. That's too bad. I had such high hopes for the second season. It feels like there's little direction in all of it, story or otherwise. And I can't help but feel that the relationship between Saito and Louise is developing too artificially: It's pushed forward by external circumstances but when the situation calms down it seems again very bland.
I agree. They could have done so much more with the second season. This is quite disappointing.
Peace.
This episode was a total waste. They could have gone through the whole thing with Henry, Louise and Saito in 10 minutes. Instead they dragged it out over the entire episode.
I'd read the novels (which are reportedly worlds better), but Baka-Tsuki is too slow with the translations.
Another point struck me, I wonder if I'm correct but:
-The art was awful, especially Louise very badly drawn on number of ocasions.
-The voice actor for Saito has changed, with a deeper tone or what?

Correct on the first, wrong on the second. The art did degrade a bit, but it's the same Saito as always.
I wonder if they are having budget problems with this show. Even if the script is badly written, it doesnt have to affect the art. Though I do think that the first season's art also slowly devolved as it advanced.
Peace.
10 episodes in and we haven't seen Saito kick ANY ass, except for 2 dragons in his plane. And that's barely anything.
Even the magic sucks... I wanna see how strong the void magic really is.
Well, if the sword is correct, we'll have to wait for quite a long time before we see void magic at its full potential again...
The first and only time we saw it, it was mainly a hughe explosion of energy, wiping everything around. Effective in a way, not very precise and easy to use.
There's a point I think is strange. In the first season, it seemed that Saito had to play a role in the use of Void magic.
This time, Louise was trying to invoke it on her own without help from Saito... maybe that's why it didn't work. If I remember correctly, she was in a kind of hypnotism, and Saito used her as if she had been a weapon meant to fight. Don't you think so?
I may be wrong, but maybe we'll discover that Love is the main power source required for the use of Void magic...

The void magic is slow to initiate. Saito's role in it is to protect Louise while she summons the void power and is pretty much defenseless until it's completed.
In my memory, the way Saito was holding Louise when they first used Void magic, was very much like if he used a weapon. But maybe it's an erroneous impression left in my memory.

Well that sucks if the "love" is the power source of void magic.. I mean come on.. And just as Kraco said, Saito's role is to protect Louise while she cast her magic.. He has a role alright.. But in a logical way. I want louise to use cool magic not just random wave of her wand resulting in a big explosion.
