Okay, the whole show was rather silly, but it never took itself very seriously, making it enjoyable. This episode did take itself seriously, and you can see that the writing is kinda bullshit because of this. I've enjoyed this show thoroughly up to this point, but this episode really reveals it's flaws, and they sure are big ones.

This.

First 3-4 episodes were awesome, but shoving 6-7 episodes of filler at us and then throwing the plot in the last few eps? And a SILLY plot at that? /facepalm 1/5

Show, I am disappoint.

Oh wait, that's your avatar. So it's okay for one show to be a slice of life/comedy and rush together some semblance of plot but not for another?

Except K-ON IS SoL :O

The plot is there to end the series

Occult Gakuin had a plot established in the first episode! The first three or so were AWESOME intro eps, but it fell into filler and now is trying (horribly) to execute the plot in the last three episodes... Magical girls? Seriously? I thought time-travel and mythical beasts were enough, but NOOOO. We've gotta have Final Fantasy classes too.

Holy crap, that came out of NO WHERE.
Mikaze reminded me more of a succubi than a witch though.
Either way, I still hate her.

While the twist was very surprising, I really don't know how to feel about this episode, OR this series in general :/

That's exactly what I was thinking.

But seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!

It's like they dropped the a huge bomb on us, I can't believe what I just saw!!!


Also, when they were doing that crazy KKK thing, and Mikaze started to go crazy on Abe, I was thinking to myself:

HOLY SHIT, did I accidently play Bible Black by mistake???


WOW, I'm glad I didn't drop this, just goes to show if you stay with an anime, it could eventually get interesting.

Marathons (School plays, trips to Kyoto, etc)? Seriously? I thought getting a turtle was enough, but NOOOOO, we gotta have random pointless slice-of-life too.

Just in case you forgot, the plot of the first episode was the girls all going to Budokan. That quickly fell by the wayside to slew of filler/pointless slice-of-life episodes, and then at the end it wanted to actually seem poignant by having Yui state how much she had grown in her two years since she arrived for freshmen opening ceremony.

Comparing this to K-ON, is like comparing shounen to shoujo, they are two completely different genres, there's absolutely no need to have ANY COMPARISON WHATSOEVER!!!

Absolutely abysmal pacing on this show.

We have a filler arc about the joy of christmas, and in the following 20 minutes all of this kicks off?

It's way too much, and it makes the show feel awfully rushed - why couldn't they have skipped the christmas arc and introduced the events more slowly and more properly, not just "lol im evil" out of nowhere.

The "filler" arc is of great importance if you want to understand Maya's' relationship with her father, as well as for Maya to realize that Waldstein was created because she herself had wished for it as a child.

But who needs character development, right?

Mikaze is annoying, I second/third/whatever that. Everything with her seems like something out of a dating sim and she's such an empty character. I hope there's some payoff, like she's a flesh eating alien or something.


Okay, there was payoff, and it was far greater than I could've ever imagined. I am appeased. Cutting to that scene with the mob from Abe's apartment was awkward (poor) directing but she was creepy and sexy in her seduction, such a complete 180 from the sickly sweet and kind persona from before.

Loved this episode and its twists but of course you knew Maya wasn't really dead. We've seen poltergeists and other otherworldly things, mages are HARDLY that big of a leap in my opinion considering what we've seen along the way.

Also, I hate Bunmei. What a worthless blubbering pussy. No wonder Mikaze wants to slowly kill him when she's done, having to put up with him for all these episodes.

Is the commander in the future Maya's father? I thought he kind of looked like him from what we've seen. Anyone else?

Am I watching the same show?! This episode was awesome on it's own... but when you pair it with the rest of the series... it doesn't correlate and/or fit with the rest of the series.

I'll tell you what though;I'm glad I didn't drop this and I sure-as-hell didnt expect the final arc to go this way.

MY mind just got FUCKED.

It's pretty funny how everyone has the same reaction:

Episodes 1-10 (yeah, ok, it's not bad, but it's not great, very mediocre)

EPISODE 11 (WHOA, where did that come from?!?!?)

QFT

The only thing I can really say is... "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

Talk about a sudden gear shift... that was less of a plot twist and more like a car going 60 mph and throwing it into reverse.... feels the the transmission will fall out...

I was expecting twist. While this isn't that far out of the ball park of the series it still took more major twists faster than I was expecting I think. . . .

Yes! I think so too! Although they made the commander dodgy looking, his beard and whatnot makes me think he's Maya's father. So if he's alive in the future, does this mean the past him (who is supposedly dead) is not dead?

I don't think so. I think shows that have a whole series should have an arc like this. Slowly building up the whole story, then having a sudden twist to it nearing the end. It's better in that sense. Imagine if the whole climax started from episode 4 onwards, imagine how boring the whole show would be when we all know who's the enemy and what's gonna happen at the end.

Thus, I think the twist from last episode to this week's onwards is a good one! Can't wait for the last 2 episodes!

Also, anyone else thinking Bunmei will suddenly regain his power and pwn that bitch of a Mikaze?:P

Either way, I hope they'll still make the best out of the situation - now that it's coming to an end I'm wondering whether or not I'll have to rate this higher or lower than right now. :P


I have been suspecting he will force his powers back as he likely forced them into submission as a child. As no one else can seemingly un .. seal him As the Witches a bit Busy fighting, Maya has no talismam etc so hes on his own. If he doesnt get his powers back in this arc /and/or do something he might have been useless as an ACTOR but not as a catalyst as that he was useful , most specifically to Maya.

Yes depending on how this ends I will either leave my Vote as is up or or lower it.
