----------------------------------------
Michael gave a dragon slayer sword and to intertwin with his sacred gear. Fallen angel and human child... a half? She has both wings of fallen angel and devil. He said he won't hate her regardless of her being fallen angel. That made buchou jealous. Training continues. Gasper is so cute and that guy has ecchi thought as always and Koneko noticed it. Devil and fallen angel meeting... including that childhood girl.

Seems like it's related to previous arc, but not really action packed.

Oh Akeno, you just make this episode that damn delicious. Thank God this was uncensored beauty as well. Ugh, Issei you lucky bastard. I'll look forward to seeing how this arc goes. 2 episodes left in the series though so hopefully enough materials will be left...

That jealousy of Rias, Issei has dirty thoughts as always and I wonder why Michael gave that sword to Issei. Not really much action this episode, nonetheless Akeno was so gooood this episode.

This episode was still enjoyable but I couldn't help but feel worried. The pacing in this episode was perfect but I can't help think this is going be an anime only end.

1. There is still a load of stuff to be covered in Volume 4 and with 2 episodes left it doesn't look like they'll finish it without cutting some big corners.
2. From what I can remember Koneko should be at the meeting and not with Gasper. This could cause some problems later on regarding the plot.
3. I also don't remember Irina being at the meeting. She was not supposed to appear to Volume 6. Depending on what happens this may also change the plot later on. Maybe I'm just over thinking things.

I'm wondering what you guys think of this and what do you think will happen? Nevertheless still a great episode overall!

Love that episode.
-Best Girl, Akeno, taking dibs on 3rd wife position
-Rias frustrated that Ise doesn't call her by her first name
-Kiba's facepalm is just a nice LOL moment.

What's left to cover is the rest of the meeting and 3 fight segments, which is not too hard to cover in 2 episodes. The location of Koneko and the presence of Irina should be pretty much minor stuffs. Actually, Irina's presence as Michael's bodyguard should make her next appearance as
a little bit more natural because in the novel it was kinda random and forced.

I liked this episode, had a little of everything. Ankeno made this episode super sexy. My boy Issei got that dragon slayer sword now. Can't wait to see him use it. That meeting was something else. Inside everything looks normal, but outside armies are just waiting for something to pop off. Great episode can't wait for next episode.

I know its minor stuff but that's why I said depending how they handle it, it could turn out to be a problem later.

Yoshimasa Hosoya as Michael. Not bad.
Ascalon looks a little big. I expected it to be smaller compared to Xenovia's Durandal like in that illustration in vol6. Oh well.
And dat Akeno. So delicious. And Rias and her small worries. I liked how this issue was planted this early, though its resolution is still volumes away.
And looking at the preview, Irina might join in the upcoming battle against those shady folks. I don't really mind this. She was still involved in the incident in the previous arc so it makes sense for her to be in this meeting. It doesn't hurt the later volume developments that bad. And more screentime for her is not a bad thing. LN readers are too nitpicky with details. Be a bit more flexible. That's why I sometimes hate people who've read the source material in any adaptation. Well, I do this sometimes on other shows so I'm also guilty...

Lastly, WTF with the second eyecatch!! IT BURNS!!

I like how the issue of being on first name basis is bought up here. And thanks to Akeno that become a great threat for Rias to makethis hapen.

And the all out battle look like will be hapen next episode. I'm itching to see Azazel in action.

For some reason I stop paying attention to my surroundings and pretty much everything else when Akeno is being awesome. I don't know why.
Kiba's facepalm was perfect. Coupled with Issei's face, I was laughing pretty hard.
Nice episode, and since there's only two left, I'm guessing things will get real from now on.

Ascalon before and after the merge with the Boosted Gear looks badass.
Omg, Akeno... I fucking love you. Ise, you are so damn lucky. Akeno scene was the best part of the entire episode. 12 minutes dedicated to Ascalon, Issei and Akeno.
The music was badass all throughout the entire episode.
Training time with Gasper!
LOL, Kiba's facepalm was epic.
I like how the issue of being on a first name basis with Rias is brought up so early here, and it'll continue to be a problem for quite a while until it's resolved some 6 volumes later. And because of that issue, Rias knows Akeno's a great threat to Rias' goal of being Issei's boyfriend.
Let's repeat ourselves because Akeno deserves it. This was one of the BEST Akeno scenes yet, and Akeno is so HOT. Lucky bastard, Issei. Akeno made this episode so awesome single-handedly.
Serafall in her Maou outfit was so adorably cute! <3
The meeting was awesome and so was the music for it. Those armies though... such tight security and they still get attacked LOL
Dat attack-plan at the very end.
One of the best episodes of season 2 for sure.

They're gonna have JUST enough time to fit EVERYTHING into 2 episodes without cutting anything really important out.

Akeno is really trying to rise in her spot xD
It's fun when she messes around with Issei, but Rias' jealousy bothers me a bit, especially when she said that she's the farthest away from him, I hope that doesn't lead into anything. But I'm 100% onboard with Issei and Gasper's dream (Mainly Issei's though), and Kiba's reaction was hilarious. And it looks like we have another chair meeting, been quite since I've seen the last one, with two episodes left, I wonder how the events will turn out.

Akeno was hot this episode but this is probably the only harem show where I like the main girl. It's about time Issei got a powerup. Lol @ Kiba facepalm.

Akeno and Issei part with Rias showing jealousy afterwards was done well. Can feel the emotion from Rias. Irina appearing and Koneko with Gasper just feels weird because of the differences from the light novel, not sure how they are going to fit the contents from the light novel that is suppose to happen within the 2 episodes.

Well things are getting interesting during the ending sequence as well as Akeno reveals a half Fallen Angel with her wings. But at least Issei will still be her ally regardless if she is a Fallen Angel or not.

Akeno was the spotlight for the first half until a jealous Rias felt lost about Issei, well lets see how the drama goes.

Dem intermission cards.

Michael hands Issei the Dragon Slayer Holy Sword Ascalon so that Issei can fuse it with his Boosted Gear. Michael will use the meeting as an opportunity to stop the conflict between the three powers.

Akeno is sexy as usual and those wings are just awesome. Good thing Issei has a way with the ladies. But too bad he's still a bit insensitive to the other girls.

Dat meeting. The leaders of each power are gathered around one table, and their respective armies are surrounding the building. I expect a fight.

Azazel is so badass. He's so straight to the point.
But it looks like someone's going to interrupt by capturing Gasper or something.
I wonder how this will turn out.

There is waaaaaaaaaaay more than enough material left. The LN's are faaaaar from this point.

It also does well enough on the raitings and sells chart that additional seasons are assured.
