The animation for this weeks episode was some of the best I've ever seen from an TV anime..

Next week's episode looks really interesting, and it seems that Hayate will once again make a cameo.

I was wondering who the key animator/animation director was for this episode, since it was seriously awesome... I was really surprised by the quality.

Definately an awesome episode with great animation and great plot development. I was wondering if the animation was supposed to be some kind of TTGL parody since that bullet boy was voiced by the guy that voiced Simon, maybe the animation director or something just worked on TTGL?

I'm really looking forward to seeing how they're going to end this show since they have so many things to take care of and so many great characters.

Edit: Never mind, apparently I heard wrong.

A great episode, Black Phantom definitely seems better as an evil organization than Pandra.

They had Help from Gonzo with the key animation for this episode, you can pretty much tell since the animation for this episode in particular was out of SynergySP's style. They had help from Gonzo with an earlier episode too and the action and style was the same. This episode was really good.

For all that PANDRA is labeled a criminal organzation, their main activities appear to be rescuing and protecting Espers and acquiring the financial resources to maintain the organization. Technically the latter is stealing--at least until a regime change at which point it becomes the patriotic appropriation of the oppressor's ill-got gains. In this episode they aso acted to protect a number of normals (which they didn't have to do--whether the Esp police squad lived or died was immaterial to capturing the possessed boy).

Ironically, not only did Kaouru's presence awake her power as the queen it also saved Kyousuke. The main plot seems to be really hitting its stride now.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Damn, what a fantastic episode
A really surprisingly hard-hitting and dramatic episode for the series, and with some absolutely fantastic, Gainax-tier sakuga to boot.
Between the teleporting, magic bullets, and corrupted blood, it seems almost a budget Fate Zero at times
Kyosuke blasting out the bullets with his own blood was absolutely metal as fuck.
Honestly, I can't believe they went so far in an ostensibly comedic series, and it all still works
