Is it just me or is Shana playing a less central role these days? Anyway I think Wilhemina used to be a Tomogara, question is why she decided to turn into a flame haze.

Oh and GIVE UP YOSHIDA KAZUMI NO ONE LIKES YOU, YOU'RE THE RAKI OF SHAKUGAN NO SHANA (Claymore reference)

Shana's appearances have been siphoned off to include 2 other love interests and now, there's Pheles in the mix.

Catching up ASAP, Episode 13 was exactly what I was waiting for, and they did a damn good job of doing it.

ZephyrStar wrote:FINALLY.

[spoiler]This is getting really good. And it's not so cliche either! I was not expecting the straightforwardness of the fight. For one I didn't expect Pheles to relent at all, I figured she'd do the cliche "I'll see you fools later" and dissapear, I expected Margery maybe to do the same after she went nuts. Yuji is getting more able by the minute...the fact that Eita is not held back in his relief that Ogata was safe is refreshing. Hopefully the Margery/Yuji/Pheles business works itself out and they all team up. So what's the score? 4x badass flamehaze, 3x capable underlings against Bel Peol & goons? Good times, good times.[/spoiler]


[spoiler]Oh yeah, almost forgot Konoe, cause she's a slut. If she joins the group, even more good times.[/spoiler]

Agree. I was expecting Pheles's reaction to be totally different, they really impressed me with how they chose to handle it.

And yeah, Bel Peol really is looking pretty pathetic at the moment :lol:

/watches ep 14 asap

Ok well... f*ck me, I totally wasn't expecting that.

That was awesome. Awesome to the max. Hell I love how I can't even tell what's going to happen anymore, but it still makes sense. They're doing one hell of a job to keep me guessing.

Guh... can't wait for 15 D:

Ep15 marks another awesome episode. o.ob

So many things happened in this ep that another serie would need 23516 eps for showing them, and yet it didn't feel rushed (to me at least).

Few important things:[spoiler]- Konoe left Yuuji's harem (more space for Shana!)
- Looks like Yoshida won't be as useles from now on, since she got a hougu from Pheles (stay away from Shana x Yuuji !)
- Shana embracing Yuuji was really nice, she could have confessed there ;) (go Shana!)[/spoiler]
Hmm, lately Yuuji was really good while training but doesn't really do anything otherwise... :/
I hope for more action from him later on.
I dare you challenge me.

Oh GOD, there were a lot of stuff going in episode 15! :shock:

[spoiler]- Wilhelmina brought Pheles down when she was losing a lot of power from the stab. Margery Daw then entered and used a restricted spell in order to capture that silver armor that's coming out of Yuuji.

- This was where Konoe intervenes, and her true purpose was revealed. She was in fact a false vessel made by Hecate so she can collected the memories she had with Yuuji. She then later interrupted Margery's spell and contained Silver once again. It seems like Silver is part of the Bal Masque's massive plan.

- And as expected, Hecate and her henchman, who has a ridiculously high defense spell, proved to be very tough for Shana and Margery.

- After much pain from Yuuji, he temporarily turned into Johan, and Pheles was then reunited with him. They were able to block off the enemies' attacks.

- Stuff happens, and Shana caught Yuuji from falling. Pheles also had stuff to do so she decided to leave. Interestingly enough, she gave a Hongu to Kazumi.[/spoiler]

I'm disappointed with the Konoe/Hecate issue (they spent too many fillers on her to justify this) other than that kick ass ep, finally starting -_-

V1 DVD just came out 2 days ago btw creditless OP and ED on special disc

Episode 16! There's a new, sexy OP sequence in this one though I'm pretty meh on this song by KOTOKO. :roll:

Though the sequence itself looks looks like J.C. Staff dumped a portion of the budget on since it looks REALLY dynamic and action-packed. And there's Yuuji with the Blutsauger which means there will be a pending AWESOMELY BADASS action scene with him! 8-)

Other then that this episode acted more like a transition period, but there were a good number of plot threads introduced.

[spoiler]- Looks like Silver has been activated.

- Margery Daw confirmed there's a seal in the Reiji Maigo and not to mention some sort of tracking spell in it.

- Yoshida received a Hongu from Pheles which allows her to summon her in need.....at a cost of her life! Happy, OropherZero?! A death flag has been raised on her! :lol: [/spoiler]

I actually preferred the ED song in this one instead.

I can't say I'm too fond of the song for the OP, but damn that animation is sexy. Like, I'm just waiting for it to be put into a whole bunch of AMVs.

Episode 16

Postby Lyrs » Sun Feb 03, 2008 7:12 pm

I don't understand Yoshida's long term role in this story, but it looks really tough to be an almost normal human in a super-human world. I can sympathize with her and I can't dislike her or find her to be annoying or detracting attention from other characters. I see her symbolic role now and I empathize with her powerlessness in the face of those powers in episode 15. Surely, if there is any justice and power to her love, she'll have a much more important role to play in the future. Her involvement in Tuning the city a few arcs back may just be the start.

Or it could end tragically as the looming foreshadowing points for us. Will Yoshida sacrifice her life to summon Pheles in order to protect Yuji? It seems that she's reaching the point where if an enemy does make the situation desperate, she'll use this card and we'll find ourselves watching her unfulfilling and tragic end. Is there room for a normal girl in this romance story? Will the story allow for her to become a truly equal part of this fight for their life and their home? I hope so.

New op song sux, visuals were kick ass awesome though. I think they should have switched the OP and ED songs around, but lately KOTOKO has been sucking anyway, she lost her Kannaduki no Miko epicness. Umm yeah feel a bit sorry for Yoshida now, thats quite a big decision she has to make. That sword is way too big for Yuuji so he looks stupid holding it lol. Is it just me or has Shana hair changed greenish in the new OP? Shana is as hot as ever in the OP *_* 10 episodes left yet there is so much to cover =|

Yeah but considering how much it's picked up from episode 12, I think they can pull it off.
