Compared to the last two episodes, that was kinda disappointing. At least we learned a bit more about what the Key is.

Meh, buildup episodes. I'm kind of dissapointed that Phryne's father's still alive after the last episode too.

I will give the creators credit, though: there were so many opportunities for a pervert joke at the start of the episode, and they held off. Having Enri be tsundere for Clain was a bit annoying, but oh well.

Haha for me Enri tsundere sudden punch was the best moment in the episode.

But...um anyway I think she is probably that way towards Clain because it looks like she hasn't been around kids her age a lot.

Every time I start liking Phryne she goes and does something stupid like that. And I honestly don't think the show overall is going to be as epic as they are trying to make it due to the slow pacing.

Yeah, lots of build-up. I can't wait for this "war" they're coming up with. I hope they actually show some of the battle; I've got a bad feeling they won't. And I'm even more curious to see what Dias is going to do next.

And Phryne's dad lived? Well, this is only a good thing because we get to see him die in a more proper fashion. Fire sounds nice.

I love how completely honest Nessa is about her feelings. If she likes or doesn't like something, she definitely lets you know about it. "Zuuuuuuuuuuto~"

The new version of the Day Star song was nice. They also switched Salley Gardens back to English for this episode. I wonder why they did that. I liked it in Japanese better.

Does every series need a tsundere? come on this shit is getting retarded. Yes it happens in real life (personal experience here) but its overdone in anime. How about a nice regular romance that develops naturally, like Wolfwood and Milly from trigun.

It certainly is getting interesting Phryne going back to the temple and Lost Millennium attacking it.
And how will Claine return Phryne it seems he will have his hands full on getting into the temple since he has to pas that battle somehow which just started between the temple and Lost Millennium.

Enri had a really hard time excepting the thoughts of those villagers it demonstrated how much the became dependent on the Fractale system.
And it was pretty brave of Sunda to admit they destroyed the lab of the temple to all those villagers since he didn't know how they would respond.
Nor that it was him personally that did it and the one who did it pretty much got away with it with out to much trouble.
Dias really is a untrustworthy character who just seems to be after his own goals.

Clain asking what comes after the fractale system is also a interesting question to me it seems Lost Millennium didn't really thought about that.
Would it not create anarchy and chaos since there are no leaders any more and it would probably create a power struggle.
How is Lost Millennium planning to deal with that and why does the temple consider such a period the end of the world?

I don't hate tsundere characters. I hate STUPID tsundere characters.

Damn Enri is just getting on my nerves. The only way I can let it go is to see her as a character created solely for comedic purpose. But the comedy pretty much failed for me. So there's nothing good about Enri. Have anime creators run out of ideas?!

Should be cool to see the great battle next episode, but I have one question: What happened to the guy who shot Clain with his Dopple a few episodes back? They showed who he actually was and he was just some guy barely alive on some life support system. Where is he, now and how do they plan to fit him in?

Ok seriously... Phryne behaves like a 16 y/o girl (which is probably her age) stuborn as hell and refuses to listen what other people says to her. She promise that she would let Clain protect her, yet she does the complete opposite. At this point it was obvious that Clain will go in harms way to save her... but she really can see beyond her nose
Good change of pace... the last two episodes were chaotic and this one was a much warming and friendly... until the end slap you in the face (not that it was unforeseeable)

yes i totally agree. This show could EASILY be 25 episodes, considering all the stuff packed into this anime. i dont know why they insist on 11 episodes. they do seem to jump from scene to scene. they did it pretty well at the start, letting you breathe in the scenery and whatnot. we need more of that in the latter half. if they must have 11 episodes then each episode should be like 45 minutes long then.

also. i was PISSED to see phryne's dad again. UUUUUUUUGH!!! like Nessa said -->> SWALLOW 1000 NEEDLES!!! i think he should die this way. and those needles should be like, HUGE. then toss him out of an airplane over some jaggedy rocks. then i will be satisfied.

Clain was finally able to say how he truly feels about Phryne. so she has yet to hear it. i look forward to that. i think she carries alot of feelings of unworthiness for clain, which seemed, to me to DRIP out of that letter she left him. i bet she thinks, in her twisted logic, that the way to save clain is to go back. its probably not what she wants to do, because she ran from them in the first place, but shes doing it for clain.

Like say, 2 more episodes to make it a regular 13-episode series.
More than that? Would probably not work. Unless they reworked the whole thing, changed the pacing completely and added some new elements. Then it might work as a 24-episode series.

Sad to see the art taking a nosedive this ep. I'm sure it's due to recent events, but it's extra painful for a show that has been so amitious in the art department.
The episode itself was rather lackluster, but they sure sent out death flags with the group picure and the 'Let's be together forever" stuff.
I liked how Sunda made it clear that, although Clain is friends with the LM members, he isn't really one of them. Clain picking up a gun and join the fight simply wouldn't have fitted.
Clain, Nessa and Phryne were realy nice together, too bad that Pryne still doesn't get it. She should've known the other 2 would go after her. She might get through to her 'mother' (another Phryne clone?) though, who doesn't seem to like the system much either. But in the end, I think it's Nessa who sacrifies herself.

Enri was funny for me, but most likely because she is not even really a contender. Besides the fact that Phyrne ran away, i thought that the over mushy 'we can all touch each other so lets be happy' was cute although boardering on...

Phyrne x Claine all the way.

So big war on the way. I didn't get what where those numbers the priest was saying. So the Phyrne we know is a clone too. So is the priestess? Was there some other Phyrne long long ago? Or where those just numbers the fractale systems puts to everyone to keep track of them?
Also does Phryne had her memories removed and put into Nessa? Is that what she meant soul and body? If she would get her memories and remembers how she was then she will be a different person. Is that what she meant when she said i won't be the same? I'm a little confused.


BTw Claine should really tie Phryne to the bed or something because every time he closes his eyes she starts running away.

I'm not satisfied unless Clain is awake. and that bastard "father" of hers dies a death suitable for my hatred of him. i like the sound of spontaneous combustion.

Interesting episode. So that's why Nessa is more than a zapping doppel!!

Now, I wonder how will those two become one to form the key.

Nessa in this ep really puts a big smile in my face. She's so honest with what she likes and whatnot. :)

So romance is pretty much clearer now because of that kiss. =p

And the war. Can't help but be excited.

Also, good to hear again the ED in english and so with the insert song.

I’ve known it since it began, but it disappoints me all the same. Why can’t Fractale be more consistent? Last episode was incredible, but this one just fell short. I know they need a buildup episode but couldn’t they make it a little bit more interesting?

“Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutto~” Nessa sure is Unlimited Cuteness Works.

DARN YOU, PHRYNE. CAN’T YOU GET IT? All was peace, all was flowers and then you came, broke the promise you made just a few hours(?) before leaving them by themselves and of course, you didn’t think they wouldn’t risk their lives and the world’s future because they are going to go after you, right? Well, they do. And just when I was starting to like you since I thought you weren’t as annoying as before. Great, Phryne, you’re a genius.

Character design and art in general was different this time… At some moments it seemed worse than usual and at others, better in detail.

“If I were to offer a wish to the day star…”♪ I’m happy they showed the insert-song this time, I really like it.

Only two more episodes?!
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I've thoroughly disliked her throughout the series, except for the last eps where she actually made herself useful. This ep she was sliding back into her old behavior, though not as bad as it was at first. Can't say I like her now, but she gained some sympathy from me.

This episode had 2 things going on one hand all out war as in the following,

holy shit that’s a lot of Airships. Damn Temple used cheap ass propaganda to use Lost Millennium as the scapegoat for the collapsing of the Fractale system while all that is to only get rid of Lost Millennium and camouflaging the true reason of them not having the key. On the other hand, we have the most adorable family reconciling, having fun and sleeping all together ever in the spoiler
If I had to guess better I look up to Phryne already being the wife of Clain although not sure how Enri would take it. The whole Key concept as a bogus mixture of soul, God and different elements such as the soul being one with the machine for this whole rebooting process thingy. Anyways more later.

Yeah that's the bitch with some animes and episodes, they just pass by too fast so I have fun watching it by frames and so result the screenshot. Nessa is really great and I am sure as she discovers love between Phryne and Clain, well it would certainly be nice for her not too take it negatively and I am sure she will not. Just I am curious how will Nessa react to kiss?

I´m quite sure Phryne will die to make place for Enri in Clain´s life. And the destruction of the Fractale System will cause Nessa to fade away, too. I would prefer a solution which is not sad like that, too, but they need to resolve the harem situation...
