OMG WTF MAN!!!

First they ruin Addy and Itsuki's date, then they put a scene that makes yaoi fangirls go squee, now they leave us on a cliffhanger!

Must see next week's episode...

With that said, pretty decent setup episode. Next episode should have lots of action and the return of Itsuki's GAR MODE!!! Hope this week's episode foreshadows the eventual pairing of Rental Magica :-)

Mikan is too moe~ xD

After that odd last episode it is nice to see that we are finally getting somewhere. This episode was great.

I feel that we are in for quite a good ride to close out the show in these last episodes.

Pretty good episode. I sure hope Fin dies, first he ruins Itsuki's and Addy's scene, then he gives us a yaoi moment =/
Mikan was as cute as always, she needs more screen time, though =P

Who will Itsuki end up with? Probably no one, right?

Yeah, probably nobody, although I am hoping for Honami.

Although all signs are pointing towards Addy.

Addy is the one whos being proactive. shes basically making the jump for it. plus shes already kissed him.

Hona has a long history with him and Addy knows that, thats why she was being reluctant. She knows that everything Hona has done thusfar is for him. As usual as most character of his type, hes got no clue, and Addy isnt that eager to tell him either.

Yeah, and he was all broken-hearted when he learned he was just being teased and tricked. Why Fin, you brought out the yaoi soul in Ituski. And this episode should have been episode 21, hence having four episodes for the Final arc instead of three rushed episodes.

I believe the dragon arc is shorter in length compared to the mikan arc (which spanned 2 volumes iirc). So 2 episodes for a 2 volume arc and 3 episodes for a 1? volume arc, they might have the time o-O

And everything in RM is rushed xD

So, I think it's safe to say that Addie is old news (thank god), and that it's ItsukiXFin for the remainder of the show.

That was a very good episode, things are getting serious and the scenario is finally taking off. Seems like the last two episodes will be great. Yeah !

Mamoruuuuuuuu!! ... I mean, hello Fin xD

Love the new character (not just for Mamoru, but because this is the kind of character I like ^^). Honami, don't be fooled, you can't fix his eye! Can't wait to hear more about the dragon and Fin's motivations. Think we'll finally find out about Itsuki's father?

The beginning totally led me to believe a Itsuki/Addie ending... perhaps a Fin/Honami ending too?? xD

the beginning was full of win. addie and itsuki on a date... too bad it was destroyed by the yaoi guy.

i noticed he is the bad guy from the OP, and i was disappointed since he had such a voice (he sounds like a weak character). then again, the voice is not all that counts (except for seiyus)

sekiren finally makes an appearance again, and i liked it... so in the end, itsuki has a glam sight because of the dragon... hopefully an addie x itsuki end...

Must feel great for Itsuki to learn his eye is the reason Astral is under investigation AND the reason why the city is about to be destroyed.

Ahh, the only thing that sucked about this episode is the fact the arc itself will be rather short. The best thing, by far, was the Addie X Itsuki -ness at the beginning.

Quite simply,i really hate bishonen that like to act cool as if people,including guys will be attracted to him.. So yea,Fin ought to die although we're still not sure what's his main purpose and relation with the Association and the Dragon... Surely i hope Itsuki will pound his pretty face in the last battle for 'molesting' him(or his eye)..lol and no more "Hey,i'm actually a good guy!" type of ending for this arc...

Hmm..,is it me or the city is now in Fuzetsu state? And i also want to know whose mysterious voice was that uttering something like "Who am i?" Sounds like ANOTHER loli to me^^

Umm..yea,i do know that was the Baby Dragon .. But i kinda think the dragon actually has a human form and believe that the voice wasn't actually meant to lure down Itsuki in the forest, taking advantage of his Loli tendencies...

Oh, quite a bit happening this episode, yeah can't believe they cut short the Itsuki x Addy part D: so Itsuki glimpsed a dragon? Interesting, A Fin/Honami ending feels somewhat unnatural though xD

Pretty impressive development, let's see what's next! Seems in the Chronological order that the next is the last aired episode and the the 24th episode is nr21 so well I wonder how the original broadcasted ending will be like!

I don't like Itsuki, and I think the story is rather mediocre, so I focused more on the backgrounds in this episode. And I realized that the city Astral is located in seems to be inspired by Yokohama.

Itsuki and that white haired guy walk up through the Foreign Cemetary to the observation platform in the Harbor View Park. From there, we get to see the Yokohama Bay Bridge and the Marine Tower. The massive Landmark Tower is missing though. Instead, there is a cylindrical high rise building.
