Well, this is certainly an interesting start to a new arc. Hope you paid attention, since a LOT was revealed in this episode.

Of course it just made a ton more questions and didn't answer too much, but the stuff about Heaven is interesting.

I hope I'm wrong because so far I can only guess by the summary on the dustjackets of volume 7 ~ 10 of the light novel (have only read up to 3 so far), but to me it seems like from next episode on they are going to cram everything that's left in the final 4 volumes together...
At least that's what the appearance of some events tell me that are only mentioned in the summary of volume 9 and 10.

I so hope I'm wrong because so far it was an excellent series, I don't want it ruined by a rushed ending. I'd rather wait a while to see a 13 episode 2nd season (like with DtB).

A lot of answers here, but even more questions spawned by them. It was definitely a worthy episode with much needed developments. I wonder what's Hamyuts' role in all this more and more, especially seeing she's supposed to be one of the main characters of the show.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

lol okay Bantorra, whatever you say.

So is Kachua supposed to be dead? I really doubt Enlike killed him with his lightning.

Btw I just noticed that the mysterious!blonde!girl in the OP has her hairstyle the same as Hamutz (who probably wears it that way because of the girl). I wonder when they're gonna introduce her. Praying there isn't gonna be a second season, in any case.

we had action, a smooth introduction to what happened after the war and some secrets revealed. this is my favourite episode so far, i think. it was understandable and clear, yet really fun to watch. and somehow everything is makind more sense now.

I am quite annoyed when Minth pulling the hair of his nose......I think that he is more suite to become street gangster boss rather than a "father" of a church >.<

Hami is the weapon to destroy heaven??Violet sinner,does it meant by Hami??The past and present of Hami makes a thing clear,Her voice now is much whore than before.Hope some handsome guy married her and create a family.....

HA,,,,Chocoly died next episode,i wonder what story will it tell ( from preview of the episode)

Wow, some really classy statements there. And you might want to spoiler tag that last sentence, not all of us watch previews.

I don't even....there was so much in this episode (as there always seem to be at the beginning of arcs) that I don't know what to think besides, "It would have been nice to have had even an inkling of it since the beginning."

Hopefully this episode solidified the fact that this is about Hamyuts more than anyone else.

wow, only one ep left, what do you guys think about the ending? Andi'm not basing itoff MAL's 27 ep guide, since i heard that those are gonna be bonus on DVD or something like that. So yeah, my question to you guys is(mind you, i have not seen 23 yet, only 22, but i will watch it now after this post), will one more ep really be sufficient to explain everything(and in a non rushed and natural way)? I would most definitely think not, since there are so many mysteries in the world of bantorra. Just showing Hammy's death(i'm guessing this is how its gonna end) in a good way would require at least 2-3 eps totally dedicated to her. Ie one ep for fashback, maybe even 2(one for when shes really young and baby, and another just for the time peroid around when she was going to take over as the head librarian. And then of course, another showing her death, maybe even two.

So that's like it's already 27 eps, but then there are heaps of other stuff that needs to be answered.. like wtf is up with the whole church vs bantorra angle/conspiracy(along with what happened to the previous chief librarian).

What do you guy s think? Also, how many eps do you guys think this is? and last but not least, please tell your rating, i think 23 eps seen is enough to rate, just assume the ending is kickass with hammy dying a noble death hehe

Well sadly I wasn't wrong as it seems and even a 27th episode doesn't really sweeten the pot for me. They are, as it looks, really going to cram the final 3 volumes into the next 4 episodes, ending with The Power of the World which is also the title of the final volume.

While this was a really well done series I have serious doubts they can pull it off to compress about 900 pages into 4 episodes...but who knows, episode 23 wasn't that bad even though it was rushed and it seems they closed of the Banquet of Liars arc with that one episode and are trying to end The Beast in the Final Section with episode 24....

Somehow it looks like they planned for a second season but things didn't run as well as planned...now I seriously wish they had cut the first to arcs a bit shorter...

Also, whoa...so Kachua sent Hamy to kill not Vend Ruga, but the girl? o.o

Yeah. Although, on the other hand, wasn't that obvious from the very beginning?

so heaven is a tree which they feed books to try to make it happy.....ok. I hope they explain what the hell the tree is exactly. It also seems mind control girl mind was broken though I wonder how that happened. This episode gave more questions then answers. I was happy to see everyone put hamy in jail and didint feel bad for her beat up.

So Heaven is the tree that has been showing up.

I'm getting the gist of it, but what I don't understand is why the Armed Librarians needed to make to make the Church look as their adversaries in the public eye?

Minth is now the the governor of paradise?

Finally get to meet Chacoly. I knew she was still alive, since back in the early episodes when Kachua ordered Hamy to destroy Vend Ruga.

Chacoly is voiced by Nonaka Ai. Instantly recognized her due to Zetsubou Anime :)

Now it seems Enrique and Olivia are going to play an important role in the next arc once again!

I can't wait!!
