Kinda dry episode in my opinion, but we get some more information on Outlaw.
Yuuji seems to be improving but I think his personality has changed a little too dramatically in the last few episodes and the next episode seems to address that.

The Tanaka "drama" was kinda ruined by this:


immature of me I know, but I still loled >.>

Yeah it was an ok episode. Looks like Tanaka won't be appearing that much anymore. I'm glad. I never really liked him anyway. Yuji becoming serious all of a sudden made me lol. I don't know why.

again not much Shana in this one. I guess they need to sort out characters' relationships until the fighting begins. it's nice to know something more about Wilhelmina & Pheles, about their past... I wouldn't mind an OVA with their adventures. :)

Tanaka got some good character development in this one, but nothing terribly impressive overall. Still, looking forward to the next!

FINALLY, Yuji is showing his true colors. I have been waiting for this a bit too long.... WHY can't this season of Shana keep up the pace? Up to now, we only got a few good episodes. However, this episode was very GOOD and HEAVY character development (truly "sorezore no michi"). All the first 8 episodes were just fillers compared to this one. STILL, it seems a third season is necessary to cover what everyone has been waiting for....more Shana screentime!!! more kickass Yuji screentime!! no more weak Yuji!!!

"Yuji....join the dark side of the force...." ^_^

The Yuji-Shana training session is the best! Wished they could show more of it. XD

I also kinda lol'd at "I'm a pussy." Really decent episode in all. Tanaka, Satou, and Yuji finally decided on their path from now on. Misaki City is gonna be war place soon and Yuji will be dealing with a lot of crap. Looking forward to the next episode!

He is just really annoying, i think its probably his eyebrows... you cant concentrate on a character unless you give him EYES!!! Notice when he was crying, we did not see anything, because you cant have tears without EYES yes, we need EYES.
EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES EYES
Ah..... I feel better now....

Anyway... besides that, i liked Shana and Yuji's training session... When Yuji knocked Shana's kendo-sword away and Shana kicking him was funny.
To me she looked annoyed to have lost her kendo-sword's grip, thus kicking him :P

Not a bad episode at all. I actually enjoyed this character development, and I really like how Yuji is starting to get all serious. I hope next episode we get to see Yuji using that sword as he did in the opening.

awesome episode. specially the training part, and the parts where yuuji seems like a total shonnen character in his personality ( i wanna train harder to beat the crap out of those bastards who are looking for my power!) it reminded me of someone... let's hope he doesn't turn like the person i am thinking... specially since shana is training him... shana will beat the sense into yuuji if he decides to do so.

tanaka opening his eyes again was funny... and the "i am a pussy" part was also funny. i never expected him to actually say that...

next episode= awesomeness
also, the guy who put the insignia in reiji maigo, and almost killed wilheremina and pheles... seems to be the main antagonist here, or so is the OP telling us. wanna see him in action already

He was just admitting that he's not tough enough to keep up with all that's happening around him. Especially regarding Oga-chan. I don't know what's there to lol about. The way he said it just perfectly worded for a conversation with Margery. I didn't think it was weird or anything.

About Yuji he have a special power inside him and of course it's strong enough to surpass Shana. There is many tomogara some are stronger that's why he want Shana to become serious and yeah she got really shocked when he hited her wooden sword . :P

Sorting out Tanaka's character in this episode, I suppose. Was really only an "okay" episode. I appreciated the information about Outlaw. Was kind confused as to what it was exactly, before this...

I actually paid attention to the OP this time - last episode I didn't even really take notice of it, I just knew it was different... but now I see why people were complaining. I don't particularly like it... It seems "weaker" somehow.

Next episode seems promising. o: And I would definitely be worried about Yuuji, if I were Shana. Before he was always so lax about training. Now he's the one pushing her to keep training him... and I don't really think it's a good idea. He should listen to Shana and Alastor when they say "Okay, that's it for the day." Come on, Yuuji, respect your mentors. D<

There are times (a lot of them) when I feel like Satou would be a better protagonist than Yugi. He certainly seems supportive of the other human characters. He also seems to be a little mistrustful of Yugi for some reason...

So Tanaka rejected Margery world while Satou have chosed to be more involved. But at the same time, he learn that the only opportunity that he had found to help Margery have cost the life of numerous people. I guess there is nothing a normal human can do to help those super human...

I was always curious about what Sydonay was doing during all these time, I guess he was just fucking with the Flame Hazes network, nothing more :P

Yuuji is now properly able to fight. Maybe he won't as much as a burden as before.

I'm trying to figure how much episode Yoshida will be alive. 4-5 episodes maybe? Her death flag is becoming bigger and bigger each episode...

Liked Yujis guts, when he was training with Shana.

Seems like Tanaka is out, he decided for love, which is understandable.
