Feels like Second Raid all over again; getting too serious and using recycled, predictable and cliched shounen material.

On the plus side, you shouldn't have to worry about it long.

It would take a very brave and careful director to fit into the shoes of the original series, and avoid the Tessa trap of trying to make that shallow minx into anything of value......and to make the stupid soldier boy wake up and grow up and use his darn brain.

I fear that wont happen in this denatured and diluted modern realm of third generation anime. The power and strength of the original art style i fear will be lost as well, which gave the original some of its crude charm. Kaname well she is a minefield waiting to be detonated by poor follow up and imitation like happened to Maken Ki and now High School DxD....a sad fat ...maybe they can pull the cat out of the hat but more likely will blow them both up.

:) still nice that they tried. the books are great if anyone reads them anymore.

Is this the death of Mythril?
The arbalest is 95% destroyed its core of its chassis is salvageable but everything else will have to be made from scratch. And I bet they’ll need chitdore to do it. The Arbalest and Tessa are the only things tying Sauske to Mythril, otherwise he is a total Merc. (On the surface at least) he better be able to turn the tide of war by end of season, if not then (aside from the fact that this is fiction) Mythril is Condemnd.
Tessa’s OMG he called me Tessa at the end of the seconds raid was great though.

Synopsis of Rant: This better not be the end of Mythril, there is too much character development that won’t fit into a single season (unless of course its 24 episodes)
Bring her home Souske, and slaughter that bastard without pity.

Great episode. Sousuke got his ass handed to him by Leonard although that little rant of leonard shows that he's just a jealous little bitch. Got a question though did Sousuke use the lambda driver o I just didn't notice it?


No, he failed to activate it. If he had though, the resulting blast would have levels at least three square city blocks from the amount of rage that was still built up. I lost sleep because of this episode

She is the woman in the spy suit (disguised as a man) in the second raid. Also she is Souskes homeroom teacher

I wasn't so sure I liked the CGI action scenes in this series up to this point. But this episode, it made me a believer. Very good episode too, and a good setup for the rest of this season.

I thought the enemy would start to notice Al because of the birds covering him.

So sad to see Kaname and Sousuke separate now.

Hope Kyoko makes it

That. Was. Awesome. So intense...

Hope Chidori break Amalgam from the inside, so when Sagara reach their main base, it will be almost over...

Oh well, it was known that there would be bitterness to be sent down in these episodes. Damn they have taken Kaname but it does not end here, but what a fantastic episode, how many emotions.

So she turns herself in to save him. So cliche and predictable for this type of plot. Honestly I expected more from this anime.

Leonard's AS looks so bad ass and it also looks like he has a more powerful lambda driver too.

I love the fact that Sousuke's shenanigans during that year taught the whole school how to evacuate a building in record time :)


That was hilarious, when the alarm went off and Atsunobu Hayashimizu said that it was because of Souske, everyone knew it was time to get out ASAP.

Great episode, they're really going all out on this one!

I'm just guessing that Xebec didn't show the gag because it would be hard to show her state of terror with a gag in place. You can't get as much detail in an anime frame as you can on a manga page.

Great conclusion to all this balls out action! Can't wait to see what's next!

So was Wraith truly the teacher the whole time or did she just don the disguise for that Tokiwa rescue only?

I came here expecting this season to suck, but this is actually pretty good. Only downside is the artstyle change. Even the CGI works well for the mechs, atleast it doesnt feel laggy as with many other CGI implementations.

You can tell the author has gained more experience over time with this story.

Though Sagara still not using the Lambda Driver even in this situation is dumb. Its been a thing since season 1, was explored more in season 2 and now in season 3 he still doesnt use it? Dude.

Dare I say it would have probably been better if Gauron came back? Atleast he made Sagara use the damn magical weapon.

Rip Kalinin? I doubt his death would be off screen though.
