Th next episode's preview bothered me. I hope nothing bad happens to the cursed children. I kind of have a feeling the idiot masses will blame the monolith incident on them >___<

Wow, they even managed to get a cat-eared loli. Well, I knew it was coming since I payed attention for the first time of the OP. Now, the OP army is now complete, I guess that if another member join in, he will either die and/or be the one who killed the rookies.

All of the pervert/loli jokes about Renataro will always get a chuckle out of me, it's all in the reactions of those around him. Especially Tina Sprout.

The opening suggests that the team is complete, but I'm getting the feeling that crazy masked villian from the first arc will be joining the team. Hiruko, or whatever his name was. He's probably the one that killed the rookies, too.

So, people are finally starting to recognize how BA Rentaro is. It even seemed like the commander was a little intimidated when he was talking to him during the meeting.

Kisara is joining the fight, but the fact her health is so bad is worrisome, but she's got Tina Sprout to back her up and Rentaro to lead the charge. All should be well on that front.

All that aside, that preview had tragedy and death written all over it. The blind girl will appear, and my theories are: A) She's going to be a victim and get killed. B) She's working with Hiruko(?). C) She's a bad guy and is going to lay the smack down on the hyped up Team Loli.

Either of those three could be very likely, or none of them at all, I really don't know. But, I would put my money on A or B.

Seems like this show has improved with each and every episode, definitely one of the better shows of the season. I've had it ranked a 7/10 so far, but I may just have to give it +1 as it stands right now, maybe a +2 if the last few episodes are as epic as they're building up to be.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Solid episode. Bringing the calm before the storm. The new recruit/dojo friend Shouma is a total badass, and the new loli Midori is so damn moe!

Best part about this episode though was probably Enju. This is literally the most screen time she's gotten since about episode 4. Don't get me wrong, Tina is kawaii as fuck and I love her to death, and this new girl is also super kawaii, but Enju is the main girl and she was totally swept under the rug for the past couple episodes.

So that dead armored guy and his dead loli...those wounds on him, kind of look like the kind of wounds you could get from two vanarium katana blades...hmmmmm...HMMMMMMM.....I don't actually know so we'll see.

I'm satisfied with this episode because we got more Enju screen time and the doctor knows that all Rentaro really wants is to build the ultimate loli harem. I think Souta Hatate is winning so far from If Her Flag Breaks.

They are less annoying than what I thought all these loli, I might even appreciate them.

Anyway finally the group has been formed, looking forward to see big fight. Also, I wonder which other pair will join up.

Btw, Tina > Enju.

So... blond siblings will die. Not sure about Tina and Kisara but they are high on the list. Guy with cat girl probably has some secret, so he will either die or do something unforeseen. Now, who else might die in these few last episodes...

Pacing feels a bit strange. It started off fast and now it's slowing down when we've only got a few episodes left.

Seems like they just need 1 more pair to complete Rentarou's ideal group, so curious who that will be and of course the confession gets interrupted.
I'm curious how this war will play out, I don't appreciate the whole, "I'm going to object our commander's plan" thing unless there is damn good reasoning and after seeing that whole stare down between the two there better be!

The preview does not bode well for the next episode,i suspect the death of the two to be caused by

Seems like sensei had already discovered Rentarou's ultimate goal of assembling a loli army. :>

Rentarou admitting to be a lolicon was sorta cool on its own.

Fuse = shy = cat-girl = <3 <3 <3

Here come Kisari/ Tina pair! Kisara deserves more popularity. I will never get the reason she is hated. She is cute, isn't annoying and is strong, yet isn't liked much...

I wish this could switch episode count with Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei... This was the best episode so far. 9.5/10

If we go through wishful thinking, then I hope that the monolith plan fails and they all die except the female doctor, Kisara and the loli's...

Then Rentarou, the doctor, Kisara and the loli's hide in a shelter, while reconstructing the obelisk barrier. The barrier is reconstructed, and Rentarou becomes the new Adam and the girls the new Eve.
Show ends with Rentarou saying:
"Got to work hard to rebuilt humanity!!" and the girls (except for the doctor) yelling: "Ganbatte!!"

/show ends

Now let's go back to the real show...

Unfortunately from what I saw of the preview I'm afraid the Tokyo Area will gather all the cursed children that don't have a Promoter and send them first against the Gastrea.

This would explain:
* The blind girl presence in the battle field.
* The preview where Rentarou is questioning about who are they fighting for.
* The reason why the promoters and initiators were sent far from the battlefield for now (to prevent insurrection).
* The reason why the promoter and initiator were killed on the railway (they saw/knew too much).

So yeah... I really don't know if I want to watch the next episode...

P.S. - I haven't read the LN yet, so this is all based on the anime. If I'm wrong feel free to say so, but if I'm right then... yeahhh one more reason to hate the human society of Black Bullet...

I really despise them at this point. Their hypocrisy (being protected by the cursed children, and yet they keep on rejecting and sending them to their death) actually makes me sick...

And Tina sure is jealous between Rentarou and Kisara. Those two could be OTP. But I would love it he ends up having not only Kisara but a harem of lolis. Hehehe.

It was a good episode, the sound surround was great and helped a lot.

I really dislike the RPG-cosplay style of clothing of the civil officers. It makes me thake them lightly.

Next episode will certainly be intense. Good way to build up the spirit of the characters this episode. Probably only for it to be knocked straight down. The reality of the situation will be shoved right at them.

So they are sending more then a handful of civil officers there. Didn't sound like that last episode.

Also, why does no. 275 have command? Whats with 1-274? Or he is supposed to be a good commander? He's wearing armor though. Even if it's not steel plate.

Also, Rentaro is missing a team. The chances for the last team to be Kagetane and Kohina are extremly high, especially given that the list of alternatives is rather low. Kisara is already in, he recruited someone randomly, and a mysterious guy from his past showed up. And he already surveyed the camp.

About the monoliths: They can construct one in like 10 days or so (they had what, 7 days from the infection till the collapse, and a 3 or 4 day gap without monolith?), but they don't have any spare ones or anything? Maybe smaller ones that can be transported more easily. They might not provide the same security, but better than nothing?

The outcome of this battle means basically nothing though - the real deal is finding out how this came to be, as there was no level 5.

Did someone help a bit, did a Gastrae do it, but it's a very rare one, with other abilities being more dominant. Or do Gastrea build up some kind of resistance against the monoliths?

Or maybe there is a stage 5 active, and they just don't know it yet.

Also, the death flags. Rentaro will not die, besides that, i don't know. We know that Enju's corrosion rate is rather high, so she might either turn into a Gastea, or not use her full power to avoid that and consequently get overpowered. The new guys can just as easily be disposed of as they got introduced, and all that talking about making sure Kisara is safe just increased the likelyhood of her dying. I highly doubt that everyone will make it out at the very least.
