| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, it looks like episode goes back to the action again. It was intense and harsh with all the girls fighting the Vertex. I wonder how many of those uppercuts Yuuki can dish out against them every time.. Otherwise yeah, I expect this war go drag out a bit as the girls realizes their true potentials. |
 |
| So the sisters managed to stay alive...for now. Certainly an exciting and enjoyable episode. Next week seems as if they might be experiencing some side-effects from it all. We're not even halfway through the series and the original objective has been met so something'll hafta come up to drive the plot the rest of the way. Might as well as start there I guess. |
| They've finally done it.. Those Mankai forms, dayum. Happy none of them died. I guess Karin will be going back to where she was before next ep? So, what next for the girls? |
 |
| So much deus ex machina this episode that I couldn't take it seriously. And now what? If they've defeated all the vertexes, what else is there for them to do? |
| That was amazing, loved every bit of this episode with excitement. Glad none died, I wonder what will happen now that they've beaten all the Vertex? |
| Something tells me this is far from over but i guess we will see more next week. What will happen now it's clear that the attacks are irregular even the ones answering the phone calls acknowledged that. So the real question here is what now? |
| During the fight, I thought I was watching Madoka for a minute. Kinda resemble minus the mahou shoujo/depressing story line. |
| This episode felt weird, it was way too fast and while the series would benefit from some "omg we might just die here" drama it doesn't really work because the characters don't acknowledge any sort of danger so it all falls through in the end, the death flags were way too obvious before too and even if someone died it would just feel awkward instead of sad and those transformations, eh, I'm kinda glad this wasn't "episode of the week" type thing but I think that'd have worked out better at this point, having each girl transform at different times in different dangerous situations would have helped. I was actually thinking Fuu was going to sacrifice herself when she started glowing and talking about the heros' true power and stuff, even before that, I expected them to actually die or stop having powers when their petals were all complete, guess not. The chance of anyone dying in the future is like none at this point, I guess I'm okay with that because the SoL is nice but it'll still make future battles a lot less dramatic, and someone dying could really help the show, it kills the SoL but I was really hoping for a darker anime from the start, guess we can't get Madoka every time. Still, that motherfucking OST carried the episode like it didn't even care, hot damn, it's insanely good (it's released on the 10th of December for those curious). Overall I'm really enjoying this series but man could it be a solid 10/10 if they tried a little harder. And jesus christ was this episode high-pitched, like, pls, it's kinda silly. |

| I'm curious to see where this series will go from here. |
| With the way that the fight went I thought that there was going to be some drama, but it looks like it ended well, tho I feel uneasy. |
| Welp, that's it, series is over, good episode but we can all go home now. Surely nothing new will come up. |
 |
| Full of action this time, This is always the same, every time they about to lose they suddenly reveal new powers to win. Looking for more back story to what exactly going on. |
 |
| everybody is alive therefore it was good episode (or for now I'm not planing to drop it). now I wouldn't mind SoL part with club shenanigans and some epic fight at the end. |
| 1. The OST was so freakin good that I stopped complaining about the predictable fight scenes 2. I was actually expecting someone to die; theres always plot armor somewhere 9/10 |
| Glad no one died and hope it stays that way Paulo27 said: Still, that motherfucking OST carried the episode like it didn't even care, hot damn, it's insanely good (it's released on the 10th of December for those curious). Holy poop, thank you. Gonna listen to the hell outta it. |

| Ok, so the Madoka copy finished the main plot under the premise "faster and with even more DEM". What's the plot for the next 7 episodes? Only SoL? Beach episodes, onsen, festivals? Hopefully not, because that would be wasted potential... the first 5 episodes were good, do not disappoint now. |

I hate myself for spoiling myself like this. |
|
| Just... wow. First of all, I love that they finally put Karin in the OP. Next, the battle! Wow that was really awesome. All those super modes! I gotta love Togo's super mode, with her beamspamming all over the place. Yuuna's such a badass! You go girl. Obviously something will be revealed about this Shinju-sama (chances are, he's probably the real bad guy, hahaha.) |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Incredibly great episode. Finally got to see action. Throughout the episode I was constantly on edge on what would happen, but it looks like everyone made it through AND defeated all twelve vertexes! Now all that's left to question is what awaits for the Hero Club next. Only episode 5 in, something bigger is definitely about to unfold. Although it was nice to see a Mankai transformation, I didn't like how everyone except for Karin changed. Perhaps senpai and Togo-san would have been enough. They'll probably need it though. Yuna yelling the tenets of the Hero Club pulled at my heartstrings. You go girl. And the mini moment between her and Togo-san was also very heartwarming yet depressing as it seemed the two may not make it. Gotta thank little sis for that one. And at the end when everyone "passed out"? I was really feeling bad for Karin and felt as hopeless as her when no one responded, but they finally did and it was funny and relieving all at once. In the preview I'm curious as to what the senpai meant by her hand?? Bumping up rating to 8. Hopefully it'll stay there or progress once we see what's next in store. 'Til next week. |
| 12 Vertexes=12 Angels?? The core appears and it's the only weak part of the being?? |
 |
| "this isn't even my final form" x4 great episode like i said i think the OST is one this shows stronger points,lol while i know it ant over this felt like the final would be funny if the actual rest of the show was just SoL. |
 |
| Very enjoyable episode. Not as dark as I was anticipating it to be (I thought someone would be seriously injured even if they did all survive), but still a really cool fight. I was also wondering if they might stretch this fight out to two episodes with a midpoint cliffhanger, but since this isn't a shonen series, I guess they didn't feel the need. I'm sure there's still going to be something even bigger/more dangerous lurking behind these vertexes (vertices?) though - it's way too early for all the danger to be over. Still, it feels weird to be five episodes into this series and still have absolutely no idea where it's ultimately going. And good lord, this soundtrack is amazingly awesome! December 10 someone said it's coming out? I am definitely buying it as soon as it's available. |
 |
| Good to see some change in Opening.. I thought they'll keep Karin out from op till the end of season.. Karin henshin's scene! Those bankai.. err.. mankai was awesome.. I hope new villain will show up.. I want to see Karin's mankai.. |
| So can I have my slice of life now? |
| Nobody died! I still have a bad feeling about what's coming though. Karin didn't get her mankai :/ Well I suppose it's still early to get another power-up. I mean she said so herself, she has higher specs than the other four. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Itsuki showed some nice power there. Fuu had a mankai, guess she leveled up? Either way, it was interesting. Togo-san too, nice. Itsuki-chan too, great. Proud of her. That was some great VAing, could really feel the emotions there. Togo-san was epic there. Yuuna got her own mankai, cool! Loved how she mentioned the tenets. Damn feels.. I am more and more proud of Itsuki now. AND SRSLY MAL stop it. It deserves more than 7 no matter how you see. Thanks to this poor rating ,no one is watching it. I know the rating will improve by at least half a point once this ends, but yeah it hurts seeing my fav. show like this. This is an underrated gem sigh... |

| Why is Kishi, Seiji such an incompetent director? he is rushing it again as usual... |
| I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning, help me to breathe. |
| Definetely has the madoka vibe and a little bit of bleach. All the Vertex attack and a few merging. It was nice to see Fuu's mankai form followed by everyone except for Karin. Itsuki able to get that fast vertex! Fuu's holding the large energy ball back. The last vertex having a soul that big. It was nice to see Yuuna transform too with some support fire from Tougou! The never give up scene was pretty nice. Even Kyousou giga is coming up for some reason. Itsuki able to stop the meteor from crashing. Everyone being alive and all the vertex dead? This makes me look forward on how things would turn out! Hmm just going to throw a random guess out there. Shinju-sama being evil and unknowingly to Karin, Karin is her vessel (a reason why she hasn't transformed yet) and then :( |

| The OST and some of the fighting scenes were just too damn awesome i stopped caring about the episode. Their Bankai Mankai's gear or whatever is awesome despite the fact it's a goddamn asspull and a big one too. they did say in the preview it had side effects, so there is hope it's not just a random asspull, which i hope it isn't. |
| Super great OST and great action. It cleans my eyes after watching Akame. |

| Wow, they all scream a lot. At least they're passionate about what they do :P Those Mankai transformations were pretty cool. I'm glad no one died. But what now? I feel like they got rid of the twelve vertexes too quickly and if they make the last episodes all SoL-y then the whole magic thing would be out of place. I'd guess there's something worse, however. Remember a couple of episodes ago when Karin said something about the others like: "they don't understand the real gravity of the situation"? Well, I don't think that was actually the real awful thing that was supposed to happen. This episode left me with a "that's it?" kind of a feeling, and I feel that there should be more "missions" and protecting to do. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely enjoying this show, but I feel like there should be more to it... I dunno. Guess the only way to find out is by watching future episodes :p |

| 7 at once... I thought at least 2 of them were done for, glad it didn't turn out that way, but we are only halfway through so a lot can happen. The preview hints that the side effects might be quite sinister, I can't tell whose voice it was but someones arm is playing up. Just hope they don't pull a "heroes become vertexes" sort of thing. I think of a lot of people are overly critical about the show with it being Madoka inspired. Tough footsteps to follow but it's without a doubt enjoyable enough that it stands on its own. Look forward to whatever comes next week. |

| YES! NO ONE DIED! YES!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D Oh wow, I didn't want to watch this episode cause I thought one of the girls was gonna die, but none of them did~! :D Well, it seems that all 12 Vertexes are now dead, thank god. But......what's next? o-o Hmm.....it seems the next episode is gonna be some celebration filler with lots of cute Slice of Life moments? (Hopefully?) Anyways, really awesome episode, those epic transformations~! :D |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |

| Too bad that nobody died. Well, there has to be more, like Tougou having lost part of memories, etc. it has to lead somewhere. |
| I still have no idea what to think of this, but with the vertexes done with that means 7 episodes of cute SOL, right...? Right??? It's a bit amusing how I prefer the cute girls doing cute things aspect to the battles. They just seem like they're trying way too hard to be epic and dramatic while retaining the cute factor. |
 |
| Next a SOL episode before the little fellas that give the girls power start their trainsformation into the next group of Vertex. |
| I feel such a big yuri vibe from this episode. |

|
| 4/5 Wow that speed in close the file on Vertex, then there will be other? Disappointed and curious about everything. Episode that the only flaw of having hastened the events, the rest is veeery nice, starting with drawings groomed and Costume Design by very rich in detail and cute. During the narration I always feared that someone could die and I enjoyed the lovely OST. Now I'm even more curious to find out what will happen in future episodes and happy that the anime has not ended with the destruction of the twelve Vertex. |
