Wow. Ginrei is now showing some kind of unbelievable power and even the boss is boxing with the sphere. The creators really went all out for this episode.

Jesus, this show is incredible. They've perfected the pacing whilst at the same time managed to introduce new characters every episode. The plot just grows more and more intense. I love Giant Robo.

Hah, what I most love about this show is the over-the-top powers that the characters have.

So many things are still a mistery: Who's that Big Fire guy? Why are their plans like these? What happened to Ginrei? What happened to that sphere? Did Murasame really died forever? I'tm going to watch the last episode right now!

Talk about fucking awesome. I'm starting to see this as some kind of HUNTER×HUNTER thing. The Magnificent Ten remind me of Genei Ryodan: BALLIN'.

Well, looks like shit's about to go down because of Ginrei's deus ex machina. Let's hope it is well justified.

That's gotta be one of the most rapid introduction of new characters I've seen for a while.

Yeah there were seriously like 50,000 new characters in this episode. But it all still worked. Madness.

The way this show able to move so greatly even with these new characters makes it really very interesting and this episode was too intense in everything , now hoping for a good end...

Too many new characters to keep track of. It introduces one practically every three minutes.

Ginrei is magical apocalypse maiden as well.

The battle scenes are just spectacular. Giant Robo is a certified bad ass.

another good episode, but damn seeing those other mechs is such a tease, my main complaint with this anime would be that for such stellar mech designs...we definitely don't see enough of them. Conversely what this show does with its human cast is great, just feels there could be more of a balance. Interested to see how they wrap this up in the next ep!

To be honest, the plot is starting to have less and less sense. Sealing Robo because? Without providing any explanation and delivering theatrical self-righteous farce instead? With chains that he can easily break? Great plan! Also all those new characters and mechs appearing at the last moment without proper introduction and gravitas. It feels like you must be familiar with original comics to make sense of all of it. But I guess I kinda get what the authors were trying to achieve here with the themes. Last ep will confirm or deny it.
P.S.: Animation as always top notch. And direction is creative and on point.
