Holy shit Byakko is a badass.

Dem screaming. Lol, this series just tried to get dark again. I kinda liked the OST this episode though. Yup, world is changing this episode. Such a cruel world. Death clip:



Gotta survive people! Damn.

Haha wow they sure found a convenient way to erase team Ronaldo sans Airi.

I still find the script to be dull and generic for some reason.

Pretty awesome ep. One of the best so far if not the best.

Loved the combined ass kicking in the first half. Was really nice and Yamato was BA!
And Airi's got herself a new BA Devil! Nice!

Really didn't expect all 3 to die O_O RIP

As for the ending with Alcor and Hibiki's conversation. I really liked it. Really shows the depth of Alcor's personality and reasons. Also depicts the despair that the world is going through right now.

Let's see how this will develop from here.

Yamato's Cereberus is freaking boss!! So is Airi's demon! Oh darn... the dead face clip strikes again....!

And that whole "main-character-doubts-his-capability-to-save-human-kind" thoughts start. But humanity will be destroyed! What will Hibiki do?

Well, they can make the world go void so there possible that the world will return back after defeating all the enemys like all usually common anime plot.

They better be going for the True ending and not some cop out like most of the other endings are.

It's sad to see we lost those three. Since this anime is based on the 3DS game, I was wondering if it would be the same as the upcoming game. I really don't want to sacrifice any one.

*note: They're not basing it off the game per-say, but rather off of the second manga-anime adaption with "The Animation" in it's title, which in turn is based off of the game.

I assume they made the 2nd manga version's story specifically more original; to suit the needs of the animation adaption, because the original game stories would just be too long, and would probably span at least 2 full 24 episode seasons, because there's certainly enough content for it.

Speaking of manga adaptions, if you want to read a more faithful adaption of the game, read the first manga adaption: Devil Survivor 2 -Show Your Free Will- ...which is told through Io's point of view interestingly enough.

Damn Majestic Prince and Devil Survivor both had action packed episodes this week!

While it's nice visual porn, I'm not emotionally invested in the characters to care what's at stake. When Ronaldo, Otome, and the third guy bit the dust, it didn't really affect me as I think the show wanted. However, it seems Airi and Jungo are going to be utilized more now which is a plus since I really like their dynamic together. I can say though I wasn't expecting those 3 to die

The conversation between Alcor and Hibiki was pretty interesting. What Alcor said about Demons and Polaris I've seen in other Japanese media where Demons give humans the chance to fight back, show their worth. If they lose the world disappears! Seeing the disintegration of the world and any remnants of the area was a visual spectacle.

The chat with Alcor was kinda interesting, but once again I felt nothing for the three summoners that died. I haven't played the game so I don't know anything about these characters that would make their loss have impact.

It was funny to see them actually use their phones as phones in this ep when they're usually just standing around holding them like they weigh a tonne.

3 devils with reviving power that needing to kill simultaneously. Those three from Nagano died. Is it the "limited skill" when they explode before lost?

very interesting.. i sure can look forward to spend alot of time thinking of how it would turn out with this now :p
also i love when people can die, it gives me the feeling that anything can happen and theres a chance of losing :p
but i didn't like the tear-scene at all.. we heard her cry in the speakers.. how lame.. how unemotional.. no feeling to that at all :(
besides.. the 2 previous fights were more like a fight after all.. the enemy in this episode was just boring, and it felt like there was no real close moment for a loss. :/

I can't be the only one who it seeing this series as pretty much Evangelion reborn (but shitter)

I mean come on, a preordained, set number of alien like enemies who come in all shapes and sizes, who need to be killed or humanity is doomed.

A whiney main character who was taken out of his comfort zone to fight when he doesnt want to, and wont stop being a bitch and get on with what he is supposed to do

A cool, and seemingly cruel leader of the orginisation

A mysterious spear that looks as though it holding something down

A silver/gray haired kid who is all mysterious and cool, who turns out to be one of the guys sent to help destroy humanity, yet still has some sympathy, and feel emotions for the humans.

Since there's so much fighting in almost every episode, the action scenes have kind of lost its appeal for me. However, I think that this was the best episode so far (since the first episode) because of the conversation between Hibiki and Alcor. I feel horrible for Alcor, not knowing what he really is and not wanting to lose the humans he has watched for so long. He's probably the only other character besides Hibiki (and Daichi) that I care about at this point. Although 3 people died this episode, it felt kind of empty, but still sad, mostly because the other characters who are alive feel incredibly terrible about it.

The artist for the Septentrions was also one who did some of the art for the Angels in Evangelion.

As a player of the game, I cannot believe just how much is being left out in this adaptation. It's a real shame. Since Airi's dad was mentioned in this episode, I'm wondering if we'll see him in the coming episodes, his side story was pretty good in the game. I feel this would have been much better off as a 2 cour, or 1 1/5 cour, this episode felt rushed compared to everything prior. Before we had 3 episodes for 1 day, now we're going 1 episode 1 day.

So Ronaldo ending is no longer an option. Oh well, he was my least favorite, so it doesn't really matter. I am kinda sad about Joe's and Otome's death, since both were great characters in the game. Airi and Jungo were awesome this episode, they are such a great duo.

It's cute that people legitimately think that any of that is unique to EVA in the slightest and hadn't already been dozens of times before EVA even came into existence.

They are probably talking about

It's probably getting an anime original ending though.

Well, with Ronaldo, Otome and Joe (:/) dead, its safe to assume Ronaldo's Way is locked...
Which leaves Daichi (non true)'s, Alcor's and Yamato's ending...
Prop for Airi for summoning Lorelei!
One of my fave demon! :D (+stone)

... I wonder if this foreshadow Daichi will get a new Demon...
Yamato's combination of Baal+ Cerberus is epic!

Three people at once?! Because they decided for the episodes only 13-episodes long, does that mean they need to kill three people at once in one day?! Now that only leaves Yamato's ending, Daichi's ending (the Liberator one. Restorer and Triumphant is no longer available), Anguished One's ending...or purely anime original ending.

R.I.P Ronaldo, Otome, Joe...I like you all! At least they made appearance in three episodes, unlike Keita who died right in the episode he just made his debut (TT_TT)

I don't really like this episode overall. The only thing that makes part of me like it is the conversation between Hibiki and Alcor at the end...

There's no preview included again...? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT ALREADY, SOMEONE PLEASE UPLOAD THE PREVIEW! XC

To me, Hibiki seems less.... "at odds" with Yamato now that he knows the whole story. Yeah, he was against Yamato before, but in the last episode and at the end of this one, it seems to me that he understands him a lot more now.



I hope they will not forget The dragon stream. Well. Given Mizar, it's probably impossible.
I'm waiting for the Fumi x Benenascht scene as well xD This will be glorious xD

and I think I'm starting to like this original story as much as the game's one. It's really nice to have some depths added to the anguished one.

Damn, three characters killed off in one episode. They should've listened to Hibiki. You can't change your death clip by yourself, someone must interfere but even then there's no guarantee that you'll be saved.

I think they are gonna go with anime-original ending. I wonder who they will kill off next.
