It seems some Neuroi in this show/season have unique abilities. The ability to use fog in combat is troubling.

Gotta respect Sanya for coming up with a plan to deal with this problem. There's still 4 more episodes left so I wouldn't be too surprised if there's even more dangerous Neuroi out there.

Eila and Sanya episodes we need more of them.
It's always nice to see those girls together even if they have a fight.
Miyafuji and Hatori helping them out was nice but they still don't have their own kill together and Miyafuji's magic problem still isn't solved.
Well i will be looking forward to a mission they have together with just the two of them.

Every episode with Sanya is a 10/10. The best girl needs more time. I missed the Sanya fanservice =(

A Sanya and Eila episode is what I needed. Even though they had a little fight, they still work well together and having trust in one another. Good episode as always. The ending with the present was heartwarming. Eila finally got a present from Sanya. XD

I have a soft spot for Eila and Sanya, so having an episode focused on their character development is very welcome. =)

The Neuroi that the girls faced in this episode was a tricky foe, which Sanya didn't even detect and Eila did, but due to the panicked reaction from Eila, it did make things rather sour between the two girls.

It was when Eila was putting her himmeli onto the tree, along with the kind words from Mina, did Eila realise why Sanya couldn't detect the Neuroi from before. Realising that the trio were in danger, she raced at full speed to save Sanya, Yoshika and Shizuka, from harm. I do like the way how both Eila and Sanya took out the Neuroi, which showcased their trust with each other.

The last scene of the episode was really sweet, with Sanya finally giving Eila a present. It was absolutely worth it, especially when we get to see Eila blush the way she did! ^_^

Hell yeah, I love Eila/Sanya episodes. Love this one. The presents thing at the end was heartwarming.

While I love Sanya X Eila, this episode was a little lacking in the yuri in comparison to season 2. Eila wasn't as trollish either.

That said, Sanya coming into her own with her fierce determination to take out the neuroi was great. And who needs that rocket launcher at the end there? It's not important. Eila hug is.

Nice Christmas Episode anyway.

Still. MINNA EPISODE NEXT. Yee.

i really hate the eps focused on these 2 mainly because the drama that comes up between them is always really dumb

but overall it was an ok ep but god can the eps about them be annoying

Ah, Sanya led the unit to destroyed the unique Neuroi. Thats a newly form! I thought they forget their storyline after Barkhorn arc. Guess they still remember whats last and continued it perfectly. Kiel under a heavy fog, and the special unit orderred a heavy task. That Minna and Backhorn conversation, really grew me some sadness. I hope they can still make it, at least until the fourth one, if they decide continue these wholesome series.

Anyway, thats some good strategy from Sanya. She really determined this episode, after eavesdropping german girls conversation. That training, featuring Miyafuji and Shizuka-chan in the background, was so funny. But something happened in the process. Sanya forgot that Eila magic ability was so op. She never wrong, and Sanya failed to realized the fact early and almost reached the bad end. Gladly, Eila arrived in the right time, and the right place, to end everything in the happy route. Good bye, unique shape Neuroi. And, yeah, that festival Saturnus, brought back BW season vibe ....

Okay, then, lets continued the road to Berlin!

I like the music around 19:03.. Well, before that.. And after that.. Felt like quite an emotional moment.. They also kinda were building up as if Sanya would die as well.. Once again we have very emotional battle with Eila and Sanya.. Them reaching space before felt emotional like this as well..

Damn, those Neuroi enemy types are becoming peskier as the season progresses. Without Eila's foresight, I don't think they can defeat such an opponent. It's so difficult to hit.

Finally, screen time for my fave waifu Eila. hehe
