THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Just saw it RAW. There is further plot development. Apparently Tabitha has been kidnapped by some royal dude from another kingdom who is the main bad ass from the beginning being chummy with the other void mage. Tabitha's sister is not her sister but her Tsukaima!? O_O I found quite peculiar but not surprising when one minute she there but the next she is not.

THREE CHEERS for opposing the princess....SORRY PRINCESS but you cannot stop people form helping other people even if war looms around....ONCE AGAIN SORRY but your authority is not even enough when Colbert even breaks free Saito.

Louise with three guys in prison!? Now that is a dangerous reality.

Ewwwwwwww at Saito grabing Malicorn's breast (lump of fat if you ask me).

Louise admitting to seeing the princess with Saito but princess admitting lonileness as a excuse...well sorry princess once more but lovers )Saito and Louise) don't get to be your puppets even though they helped you very much just cause you want one as friend and the other as lover. Convenience because of royalty is low when overpowering through authoritative powers.

See when subs are out.

really? I feel like it could go on perpetually, although if that was the case id really like the show to be more dynamic and not reset their relationship ever episode.

I finished watching the subbed version. I am so PISSED! Who dare they do the same to Tabitha as that to her mother! HOW CAN THEY? That is cruel! Too much (fired up)!

Should Tabitha drink that potion....she will never be on this show again to fight along side Louise. Lord Bidar, that piece of **** and his kind did this to her mother. What does that race have to do with her family? I have never heard them being associated with Elves.

Someone form the looks of it, wants to open up the Door of Xai-Tarn. From the looks it would imply Louise and three other Void users. I will be pretty honest, if Tabitha drinks that potion...someone might be pissed enough to open that door. This would lead automatically to a fourth season.

I WANT them to open that door so all of the world where Saito is would change and something can start happening. I really hate that potion!

A Rhyme dragon..huh? Dragons were though to be intelligent creatures originally with some having special skills. Irukukwu being one, would mean the nature magic to camouflage itself within human population if the dragon need to. Cool skill for a dragon.

3 CHEERS to Louis for going against the Princess and to threaten with consequences if she wants Saito. Like I said before, SORRY PRINCESS but you cannot always have your way.

Causing war with a country...if it was me and I would find out about the whole potion incident. BERSERK MODE followed by complete 100% DESTRUCTION of Gallia including all it's people. YES I AM DANGEROUS! Who cares about that kingdom, Tabitha is even more innocent in all this mess than her mother. So should something happen, 100% guarantee someone will go BERSERK.

Finally some more plot development, probably the most in a single episode so far. The beginning of this episode was a bit questionable, with all the breast grabbing and sudden appearance of a naked girl but after that it was great.
- Tabitha being convicted for treason.
- We finally get an idea of what Joseph is trying to accomplish.
- Louise & Henrietta love rivalry ensues.
Just can't wait to see where this story leads. ^_^

My addition to your episode 13 prediction, ...

It seems this season is following the trend of ecchi diversion until the last couple episodes.

I thought the transformation was a bit too predictable... I suspected it as soon as Sylphid showed (Irukuku fell out of the sky naked before, and then they didn't appear together), and it was confirmed for me as soon as Irukuku reported the arrest after Sylphid appeared alone outside the window.

I am a banana.

I agree, specially on the "+ some ecchi plot" part XD Either that or we get season 4. As expected Saito resigned his position as a noble to help Tabitha, but Louise doing the same is interesting since she alwas was so proud of being a noble. My little Louise is growing up T_T

OMG thank you! I was beginning to wonder if they would ever get this story rolling. It's about damn time.

Also, WTF is up with Louise still! Shes married to Saito and she didn't even tell the queen errr. It's about time she puts aside her petty and misguided feelings and starts telling people how it is. No more of this harem crap/reset relationship crap.

As for the door thing, I think its a gateway to Saito's world and not a door to a devil monster. I think the point of it being "bad to open" is the fact that technology from one world would leak into the other and cause huge problems (ex.an air craft loaded with guns can easily take out several dragons as Saito has already showed us). This is probably why the Elves have high level technology in Louise's world. They do guard the door after all so it would only make sense that they gain extra knowledge.

The king seems to want to gather the void users together so he can open the door between the two worlds.

The OP shows Saito and Louise kissing in a teleporter looking thing. I wouldn't be surprised if, by the end of this, Louise and Saito have access to the door between both worlds and Louise or her kiss is the key.

Seriously though, I enjoyed the episode even though it seemed rather typical of the episodes we've been getting. I've started to expect less with each episode, which is unfortunate.

no, it wouldn't, since they only do about 12-13 episodes a series...if they made it longer, then that would be great... in my opinion anyway...

first of all, in the beginning of the episode, what were they looking for? because, i don't remember them looking for something at the end of ep 8...

I have a different view of what will happen...

but i'm not gonna say...

I have to admit that when this episode started I did a face-palm to Irukuku/Sylphid's naked human form, but then the plot came about, and now I'm fine. Overall, I enjoyed this episode, and hope they don't rush the ending too much (which I know they will with only 4 eps left).
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

I WOULD be saying the same thing....But the show did something reeeally funny with Saito and Louise's marriage. It was pretty much just a plot device to get Louise to drink the potion from season 2, not a real marriage. No priest, no ring, no paper signin'....so it's not official. So Saito 'technically' still isn't "hers"....So yay, more relationship resets. =.=
Anyway, YES, PLOT'S ROLLING! I love this. Uh...Is it just me, or am I starting to feel sorry for Louise because of the whole...SaitoxHenrietta thing....Meh. ALSO, another, "might be just me", but the preview looks like it's gonna be another relationship filler.

I think they will make a 5th season, wich will air either in 2009 or 2010.
If there's gonna be a 5th season, then the anime should be able to cover the Novel, with another 13 episodes or so. Although, I know there's 14 volumes right now, but, does anyone know if the 14th is the last one or if they will be more to be published? :)

The plot thickens. I'd like to see more of these episodes (Read: I'd like to see more Kirche.) I can see the outlines of the 4th and 5th seasons.

I'm fine as long as Saito/Louise relationship develops while Louise is still tsundere.

Irukuku or Ilcucoo whatever it is, is just toooo cute.

However, I'd like to call a ceasefire on all the boob grabbing jokes. They stopped being funny in season 2.

I'm also guessing they're planning to go for a 4th season. Or maybe they plan on squishing everything in over the last undoubtedly, craptastic few episodes.

I think this show lost its identity once they got past the Louise/crappy mage and Saito/going or not going back home storylines in season one. Now, half the seasons are filler wastes. While the other half just rushes through some fantastical storyline.

btw, what's up with Sylphid flicking his tongue after the fat guy realized he didn't fell in love with a human girl, but a legendary nature dragon? (almost sounds like a MTG card)

I have always hated elves (not just in this series). I hope these elves get their share.

They never tried the Yaoi approach though. That was disturbing.

And at least season 3 appears to have some actual relation to the overall plot of the series after all. As much as I hate Season 2, at least it had some plot, between the ecchiness (Colbert and Agnes backstory, the war, Louise's "everything for the princess!" stance), but in season 3 everything established in Season 1 and 2 had been ignored so far. That includes the foreign guy they introduced in Season 2(I forget his name) that seemed to be an important character in the future yet only showed up in 1 episode this season (and only to give Saito some credit).

Maybe, just maybe they will grab some old threads back up again? And yes, I was thinking the "gate to evil" is nothing more than a gate to Saito's world. Though, a war 6000 years ago sounds a bit farfetched, unless time works differently between the worlds.

The beginning of the episode started off a bit bad with the whole boob grabbing (or in Maricorn's case - fat grabbing) and some random naked girl dropping out of the sky. But after that - dare I say it - the plot developed somewhat~ It was cool to see people standing up to nobility and the whole Irukukwu/Sylphid thing was nice. Plus I liked the elf ^_^;;;

Just when she said "Onee-sama's is with her mother"; and when she suddenly disappeared and Tabitha's familiar appeared out of the blue, that's the time I've already suspected they're one. Ahaha! XD
