Well, that didn't go escalate out of control thanks to Erena. It seems she has some catch up to do with Otone.

And I guess they could say that a picture is worth a thousand words this episode, especially in the case for Seisa. She just seems like such a role model at school.

Eh the battle in the latter half of this episode felt pretty fast, wasn't exciting imo.

Seisa's backstory was decent, but there really wasn't much to it besides her gf back then, I guess. At least the tension between her and Otone was elucidated a bit. The Esoragoto Spiral ED was a nice touch; now Eruna just has to patch things up between her and the other two girls.

A new ending this late? Odd...Anyway I can't feel too bad for Seisa even now after learning about her tragic past. She's had someone as wonderful as Eruna throwing herself at her from the very start without really deserving it. Well, one episode left...

Seisa's backstory was decent. I see, so that's the reason why Seisa is not using her Killing Art.

The new ending was nice, but it was late.

I don't really get why Eruna is so into Seisa?
This whole thing is just so forced like I never seen before in any other anime.

From the start I don't really get that one...
Seisa almost whole series doesn't talk to much to her,
was close and often ignored her,
but Eruna runs for want, everything she do is for Seisa.

Right now it looks like all other charaters have better ship with Eruna than Seisa
and looks like they try to explain it in final episode. -.-

Well it's about time Seisa's story was explained but I'm kinda worried on how it'll end though due to her story being explained so late. The show can end decently or rushed/terribly and I feel the latter will happen.

Suddenly, Eruna prevails stronger than Otone; effortlessly defeating her in the practice session. I'm sure they'll use this as a cause to justify her victory in the final battle against Seisa.

At long last, the special backstory comes into play. Well, the overall sentiment of it was given early in the show, so it wasn't anything special. The only thing I didn't really guess was the savage senpai being a girl.

Shigure vs. Kuzuryu was short, but probably the best part of the show, although who didn't see the last strike coming? Shigure fell for it completely.

Average episode. I can see how horribly cliched the ending will be. New ED song is catchy though.

I honestly didnt mind it - you could sort of guess where they would go with most of the elements plot wise when it was slated for just 1 cour. All in All its been enjoyable to watch.

Nifty new end also.

I wish they had went with this new ED from the beginning it's actually catchy. So Seisa likes girls or no? That was the only surprise with her whole background.

I'm not sure Eruna is going to fight Seisa. Bimi said Seisa is losing her powers, and there's no way she can fight without powers.

This entire episode broke my heart =( I just wanted to hug Seisa the whole time, poor girl.

I'm curious as to whether or not this episode and the next episode catches us up with the latest volume (Esoragoto Spiral). Like I know that Shigure and Kuzuryuu were supposed to throw down at some point but wasn't Asuhi and Akama supposed to do the same? Idk @_@

That said, if the last episode isn't named Esoragoto Spiral, I'm going to be disappointed XD
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

Was Seisa's past supposed to be dramatic or shocking? Cos it really wasn't. It was nothing short of lame and stupid, just like the rest of this show. It's even mroe stupid when it tries to be all serious and edgy and expects to be taken seriously. Also, Seisa covering up the damage is just downright stupid when the school could easily be repaired, rather than ending up in the situation seen at the end of the episode.

What a fucking joke this piece-of-crap show is.

So Seisa is losing her strength tho the question is what's the reason she is losing her strength?
Is it the pressure from meeting Eruna and being reminded her past or is it something else?

Well next week is the last episode, would have liked to see more of this anime tho.

Episode a little limp at first, but that can recover at large in the second half. Very interesting and the second phase construction of the narrative, the story is of enormous progress, it was now! Drawings and animations in the media. I hope that the fact of the quastione not only to tell the vicissitudes of Seisa, but that there is also another in the plot.

Being let down by someone you admire and love is quite the shit feeling.

I imagine Seisa as probably the type who has difficulty getting close to others in the first place, so it would make sense for her to find it difficult to deal with.

Her sealing the room and old building is a coping mechanism to avoid reality, but it's also an inability to leave the past behind and move on. She's probably trying to preserve what good memories she had of the place.
I do feel sympathy for Seisa but as I say every episode, Otone x Eruna ftw

Well, I was wrong about her deciding not to use it, which admittedly the episode made pretty obvious before the reveal when they flashback'd to the match with Otone. Probably should've been obvious the first time. That didn't really ruin my Killing Art theory though alters it a few. Going say I mostly got it. As for the episode itself, it was alright. The ED was probably my favorite ED they've had so far. Wouldn't have minded if it was the ED the whole way through instead of the one-off this most likely is (wouldn't be entirely surprising if it's the ED for the last episode either).

Well that episode explained a lot of things ! But now ... I'm really scared towards the end of this anime.
I mean I totally see the end from here: Seisa will come to "save" Eruna or the opposite, they'll argue, they'll have a friendly fight, Eruna will win and here we go with the friendship power/the three of them friends for life in the same club.

I don't really think that they'll make Seisa x Eruna canon now ... it's too late :/ It's very sad when you know that Eruna could have been one of the greatest Yuri characters of all time (well she is but her couple could have make her even stronger).

This anime is still one of my favorite so far because of the concept and the yuri feels.
But they could have made something really better !

Nice ED though, I could totally see a season 2 as them being a school band ><

I like how they explained Seisa's backstory, though the episode overall really wasn't anything special. Kuzuryu vs Shigure was terribly executed. It was way too fast, way too rushed, unnecesary talking too less abilities. It makes it seem like Shigure pretty much does nothing/nothing happens while using Hero Time. Which is definitely not the case. Oh well. I liked the remix of Esoragoto Spiral.

Finally we get Seisa's backstory, pretty much what I expected. Didn't think she actually SEALED OFF THE CLUB ROOM IN ANOTHER DIMENSION THOUGH ... WTF O_O Seems like she's REALLY strong. Though I wonder how she was defeated then? I guess she just couldn't really muster up the desire to beat her senpai or something. Well anyway, I wonder why her power is disappearing too? I mean especially with Eruna in there ... oh dang D:
Shigure vs. Kuzuryu battle was way too short >_< Not enough action and too much talking ... zzz, typical manga battle though eh? :P I guess at least they "made up" ...? Oh well, the ED was super catchy though! Loved it :D

I felt bad for Seisa, poor girl. She needs her kouhai now.
Shigure vs. Kuzuryuu's fight was bad adapted, it looked like about 5 seconds and I couldn't see any good moves.
I might be late to say but, I gotta love Otone so much, she does cares about Eruna and can do anything for her. Her Engrish accent is too awkward yet good to hear :)
Can't wait to see final!

She is very unstable now, so her senpai attacked her before the real match, awful! And all those scars are thanks to that battle, now the whole thing is crushing down, I hope Eruna save Seisa somehow.

The supernaturals aspects were handled really well this episode, hinted this series' true potential. Imagine everyone's backstories explained that well, and basically you have got the real Mikagura. That Kyoma/Shigure scene was rushed but yeah, at this stage, I can't even complain anymore. This really needed to be 2-cour + have a higher budget. Sigh.

May the next music series-turned-anime gets better treatment. Amen. This is a better adaptation than Mekakucity Actors tho, like way better.
