Seems like war is imminent now with the growing tension and buildup.

Now there's also the talk about Witch powers, something pretty common in fantasy anime like this. Meh episode. It's important but I wasn't too invested into this war drama or witch power.

It’s so weird seeing Marius all dressed up and everyone being so formal with her, I can definitely understand why she’s uncomfortable, especially with the guy she likes acting different towards her. It’s good she was able to see into her past and learn the truth of what happened.

The final battle is coming up and I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

The opening hinted at it, and so did this episode but man they really going to kill off Albert like that?
I know someone in a past thread Theorized Theresia is actually Albert's sister and I really didn't feel like that was possible. But after seeing her have a vision of his death and feeling sad...I think that makes the theory stronger now.

Still wondering if Rugis is good or Evil. We'll see.

The war of the factions is upon the Hortensia Kingdom, and NGL, I'm more than excited to anticipate this for the final stretch.

Depicting Marius as the actual formal Princess Marielle sure feels super awkward for everyone, especially between Alfred and her. Kinda like how Deflotte and Nonnoria are now officially roped into the war, without any pretense.

Learning about her past from an actual witch (Lacroix) takes a great deal of knowledge from some secret Magonian magic...the "what if" scenario that wasn't meant to be, exchanged for a personal will.

Sure enough, the Orthodox Church must be taken down with the Pope, that's for sure to end this liberation once and for all for Alfred and Co. BTW, RIP Balthauser.

The war has officially begun...and tis' be a bloody one.

With three episodes to go, I want to see how all this concludes. I really want them to kill off Alfred.

Deflotte was so uncomfortable speaking to Marius. Yep, things will never be the same.

Start the build up to the climax! After enlightening the audience of Marius's past, Hortensia soldiers march to the battlefield facing off against the Church.

Well, finally the story reached its interesting part after the princess ready to departed all of her supporter armies through the capital of Hortensia. Such an ironic knewing the fact that caused all of those saga. The death of the queen intricate the king to unleashed a chaos which came from the Magonian power, through those relic. The great tragedy appeared and led the poor princess into such a tragic way.

The true witch, the sentinel of the Magonian, acted to pass the trial to the princess. Lucky, Marielle had all she needed to pass the witch's trial, by not too relied on the relic, trusting the issues through all of her beloved friends, and knight. How sweet.

But, the real deal start to get more interesting when they reached the capital out. The Carmellian forces suddenly joined the chaos, by witnessing Theresia's future vision. Then soon, the great civil war among the Hortensian was truly inevitable. What end they get there?

They updated the OP sequence with new characters. A three way war is upon us.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

Nonnoria is so cute. It's interesting to note that Adelheid kept her hair long in the alternate future where the tragedies never took place (I guess in that sense, it's good that they happened because she looks really hot now with the shorter hair).

It was kinda bittersweet to see that alternate future though.

edit: woah, who is this Theresia chick!? Looking really cute there...

Pretty good episode, Marielle looks really fucking great. The boys are still awkward around her, I mean I can understand that, they pretty much thought she was a girl for years. I like how the OP has changed a bit, adding new stuff and changing some stuff.

Lacroix is a pretty cool witch. Yeah, ya'll don't need that relic shit, it'll probably just bring more destruction or something. I really hope Alfred won't die or something, I guess this strengthens the theory that Theresia is Alfred's sister, because of her vision. So, I am guessing Camellia is stopping them so, they won't proceed to their doom? Looking forward to the next episode.

Seems like the war on the capital is coming soon.

It was really weird seeing everyone being so formal with Marius and how she was dressed up but she deserves the respect.

the war is near, and it is a little strange to see Marius in princess clothes.

Finally Marielle in proper female clothing, she looks beautiful.

We saw more flashbacks and this time it was a trial for Marielle from the witch and unlike her father she didn't gave in to the temptation.

Marielle's allied soldiers march to take back the kingdom but Camellian troops interferes. Wonder how Rugius is gonna handle things now that he knows Marielle's troops are in danger. I'm guessing he's trying to stop them from facing the Pope's troop by interfering.

Based on vision girl Teresia's reaction on Alfred's death, I suspect her to be Alfred's little sister who presumable died in an accident years ago. Still curious to see if Alfred will really die as is hinted in the opening song.

Damn, a bishoujo always get forgiven no matter what they do.

If it was a female character like Watamote, thing would have been different.

man this episode was extra lame. had to fast forward through a lot of it. the last few episodes i'm skipping through more and more junk

the witch was the only interesting part. but that was infested with a mostly lame flashback and garbage ass power of friendship crap

the psycho twins are back. is it a boy and a girl or two girls? i have no idea, honestly. it would be nice if we got an explanation for why they are the way that they are

i also think it's so stupid how characters and armies can seemingly just arrive anywhere they need on the drop of a dime

somebody killed balthazar? who was that mysterious person grinning? oh, and... who the f is balthazar?
