Now with all the progress that has been made at the park, we get to see how much it has improved from what it once was at the same time they execute Kanie's goal of lighting up the park at night to extended opening time. This allow for the to focus in on Latifa and the true reason why they are so desperate to keep the park open. It turns out that Latifa was cursed many years ago, and Kanie only learns of this curse when Latifa collapses. That in the past Maple land was being attack by a dragon, and one day a magician arrives telling them that he will defeat but in return he has to receive Latifa's hand in marriage but with no other choice the king agrees. However once the deed was done the king double crosses the magician and in return he curse Latifa to slowly die and shortly after this he is report to have died so there is no way to lift the curse. This is why she is sent to our world where there is plentiful amount of animus to sustain her. That is why they are so desperate because Latifa to surely die if the park goes under.

This leads to Kanie becoming even more desperate as time pass. The reason being is that it is becoming clearer that they won't make the deadline. Which in a way makes him more forceful since there he is aware of the fate that await Latifa should he fail because unlike the others the will be able to survive until a new park is built she won't. That with his more aggressive nature it ultimately cause a confrontation between Moffle and Kanie. That it is through this meeting of will that Kanie reveals how he met Latifa before when he was a child and this cause him to question do the maple landers even age. This is when Moffle reveals that the curse doesn't just effect her health but resets her life back a year when the anniversary of the curse comes around. This is why she doesn't remember Kanie and with this it has become personal for Kanie. That when he was a child he couldn't make her smile and alleviate her pain but this time he will succeed with the saving of the park. That with renewed viger he has two weeks left to fight for her survival but that is the object that Kanie has been waiting for and how will it save the park.

Hitsugi no Chaika Avenging Battle - ep09

Things went in both an expected and unexpected direction. First it was expected from last time that Toru would bring the remains of Gaz but maybe sabotage them in some why to make impossible for them to reach them so that he could get both Chaika back as well as complete the set by stealing Hartgen's as well. Although things don't go as expected since as thing turns out the third black Chaika has already eaten Hartgen's pieces so it's impossible to get them back. It also appears that red Chaika wasn't as clever as the white one since her piece were already stole probably from the point the tournament began. Although it did reach the anticipated expect point of the resurrection of Emperor Gaz.

Although with his resurrection may things have changed first being the execution of Hartgen being his first act when he tried to pledge his loyalty to Gaz. Now with his death Shin really isn't a threat anymore since he was working for Hartgen but that doesn't mean he won't form a contract with Gaz. Also with his resurrection we learn the true identity of Guy was Gaz.along with this fact he also brags about why he had himself kill was to give himself a magic organ that would allow him to directly use magic. While he is at it, he also explain why he will start another war. Is not because of any moral objective but the strongest magical fuel is produce by violent emotions. Although there is a bit of falsy in his logic that in time people will give into despair an will just stop trying. This mean that his rich magic fuel will dry up as well. However it is doubtful it will reach this point, the question now is how will that stop Gaz and what will Chaika do now that the purpose has been fulfill but not in the way she intended. I guess that Chaika could still complete her desire to give her supposed father his funeral it just means that she has to kill him again.

Trinity Seven - ep09

Now with Arata and Mira are trapped within this deserted Academy Mira is force to rely on him. Also here we get introduce to a new threat which is Ilia, that it is through her to we learn more about Hijiri. That she had more that one grimoire this is allude to in a way how Ilia and Sora are acquainted with one another. What makes things worse is that it appears that Hijiri doesn't need Arata to save her further more it appears that through her action they might end up becoming enemies. It seems that her goal is to destroy the world and rebuild it for her own convenience. Although for the most part this episode is about the building of Arata and Mira's relationship.

This happens when they are force to defend themselves Mira can't activate her magus mode and instead end up getting striped in the attempt. Which leaves all the fighting to Sora since she a magical entity. This leaves to the grimoire to fight among one another, while Arata and Mira fall back. Then creates a situation where Mira explains her past as they look for the core of the barrier so that they can return to normal space. However many problems crop up when they do in fact discover the core because it turns out that Sora has been trapped inside the barrier's core by Ilia.

However things are not as dire as the first seems since Ilia isn't really interested in harming Arata if anything she desires the exact opposite. Although the same can't be said for Mira but Arata tries to use this situation to his advantage while Sora is working on the barrier from the inside. That he agrees to come over to Ilia's side if she sends Mira outside the barrier. Ilia gives no opposition to this request, but as things turn out she can't just send outside so instead Ilia is just going to kill her instead. However Arata is greatly opposed to this action and tries to stop Ilia but this only leads to Ilia restraining him. Now with things degrading to their current state this cause Arata to despair and in doing he awakens the demon sleeping inside of him and become what is known as Astral Trinity. The question is what is this Astal Trinity and will Arata be about to return to who he once was.

Madan no Ou to Vanadis - ep09

While last time events focus on Tigre's actions while being seperated for Eleonora this time events focus on Eleonora. That through this we learn a bit about Sasha and Eleonora's relationship. That from the interaction between them in the beginning it appears that Sasha is the strongest out of all the war maiden or would at least would be if she wasn't ill. Which lead us to the reason that Eleonora is there, it seems that Elizaveta has a vendetta against her from a previous encounter when they where fighting pirates. That this is her justification for starting a war with Shasa although in concidering the timing it was done to provoke Eleonora. Since Elizaveta knows of Shasa's condition and is aware to Eleonora will come to her aid if she is threatened. This allows her to draw Eleonora into a fight without directly pursuing her.

The through the clash Eleonora learned something from Elizaveta, that if she had the time Eleonora so win however that is time she really doesn't have since Galelon has began to make his move but it is still unclear who he is moving against. Then there is also the fact that Brune is being invade by Muozinellen. That means Eleonora doesn't have the time to deal with her, although Elizaveta is willing to wait a year before resuming their conflict. That with these events it set the stage for Tigre future meeting with these two war maidens. That with this it returns us to Tigre's allaince with Ludamila Lourie in his battle against Mouzinellen invaders. Tigre's situation is dire even-though he has receive from Lourie since they have to resolve things in a single battle. That it seems Lourie is doing this to learn more about Tigre and understand the nature of his power that he use to break down her gate. The question is how will he use it this time around and will Eleonora make it for the battle or will she only arrive after everything is finished.

Amagi Brilliant Park - ep09

Now once again we have another random episode but this time it focus on the Elementario. It is interesting with focus being on them since the action is mostly center on Seiya and Izusu. That the whole plot is about how they don't really get along even though they work together on stage. This leads Latifa inviting them to Sukiyaki so that they can bond over a meal. It seems likely that Latifa set this trap up because she steps out because she doesn't have enough soy sauce. That concidering how important that soy sauce is to the Japanese this seems more planned. What make it feel more plan is how she tells them darkly about the one thing they must not do while she is gone is to not press the big red button. Then of course if you tell someone not to do something then you expontently increase the probability that the will do it. Then to prove this point as soon as Latifa leave Samala rush over to push the button. She does this to mess with Muse but in doing so cause her to overreact which cause a chain reaction which ironically leads to Muse being the one to press it when she was trying to prevent this very action.

This expresses what it control, it turns out to be the castle defense system which locks down the castle the deploying various cannons to assault anyone that comes too close. However it will shutdown in the next 24-hours, although Seiya find the choice of waiting unacceptable considering that doing so would ruin their image. This leads to him ordering everyone to invade to shut down this defense system. Which all ends in failure, that it turns out it can be shut down from inside by having the Elementario travel down a secret corridor. That by passing the four trails will allow them to gain access to the override switch. However it turns out that each of the trial requires all four to participate but also it turns out that each of the trails are aim towards exploiting one of their weakens. In the first one Samala who is can't sing is the weak link for karaoke. The second challenge Kobori is the weak link because she isn't a very good dancer. The third challenge Muse is the weak link because of her poor typing speed. That through the challenge the bond by having to rely upon one of the other to pick up the slack. In the end this is the emphasis of the last challenge because they all had to trust that they would choose to sacrifice themselves so that no one would die. That with this the clear the last hurtle which allows them to shut down the defense system but in doing so they also bond over their shared experience.

Hitsugi no Chaika Avenging Battle - ep08

Now we are get even closer to a conclusion with the final clash of various sides. First it is clear that the completion is nothing but a fares since they are being pull out of the competition for various reasons. The red chaika was just deceived, then Vivi was taken out because of her association with her squad, lastly white chaika was taken out because of Toru and Akari infiltration. That this all was done for black chaika's amusement. Since she intents to pit them up against one another. That the only one that is running free is Akari and Fredrica but that doesn't last long when they run into Shin.

First is placing Vivi against Gillette. That it is through this battle that they try to have him remember who he is but it is interesting who the fortunes cookies told of their fate. Also you have the fact that Vivi has to cut of Gillette hand to bring him back to his sense and in a way this hold true to the fortune. That once he unsheathes his sword he will never be able to sheath it again, and this is why he returns when Vivi forcefully cause him to drop his sword. Then you have the resolution between white and red. That with this battle cause Red Chaika to resign from the fight out of concern for her ally. That in the end the White Chaika turns out to be the victor.

Although this doesn't last long with the appearance of Shin bringing the imprisoned Akari and Fredrica with him. Things are made worse when Toru can only hold off Shin which leads to Chaika becoming their prisoner as well. That all this is done to collect that last remaining piece that they posses, that with this it is likely that the Red Chaika wasn't as careful. Although the question is will Toru do as they ask. Then there is other issue as well with the question of is Hartgen really possessed by Gaz when he beheaded him or does he just believe that he is Gaz. Then there is the question of what they intend to do with the remains. The way things are going the only way that Toru will be able to defeat Shin by taking Fredrica up on her offer. The final question is will everything go as Black Chaika expects them to.

Trinity Seven - ep08

This episode functions mostly as a transition piece as well as building some character development. Initial for last time you would expect that Arata would focus solely on Selina's magic to bring back Liese. However Arata is final getting down to studying magic to know what it really is. That for this he ask help from the various members of the Trinity Seven. Although Lilith feels excluded since she is the only one that Arata doesn't go to for advice. In the end it is partly her fault since she is embarrassed by her theme being lust. That to force her to admit her vain of research they recap everyone else theme. In reality Lilith has nothing to be embarrassed about since your theme is the furthest thing from you.

Now Lilith become the main person to educated Arata on magic. That is to say most of the episode is fluff. Although they do touch on some important issue. That with Arata trying to mastery many different types of magic he raise the probability that he will turn into a monster and if that happen he will be something far worse than the dragon that they faced. The other major event is the headmaster temporary promoting Arata to Liese position as the number two in Grimoire Security. Then with that done they head off to investigate the destruction of one three great magic Academy. However thing go terribly wrong when the Headmaster warps them there. The question is what is the true nature of this Hijiri look alike and is this the person that Liese had a photo of. The other issue is how will Mira deal with being stuck with Arata.
