I really enjoyed this episode. It balanced everything well and the pacing was simply excellent. The art was pretty good and the music was timed quite nicely. I look forward to more episodes like this one in the future. I hope this great momentum wasn’t lost in the midst of the brief hiatus over winter break. ;)

As I predicted from the last episode, Pheles hit the scene and quickly concluded the episode. I was eager to hear Shana’s confession to Yuji although I was pretty sure that things weren’t going to work out. It’s probably not going to be resolved until the end of the series, and that’s really just a maybe in my opinion.

Tomorrow’s episode should be jam packed with a lot of exciting scenes. It’d be hard pressed for them to make anything as exciting as the movie but I think it should still be enough to impress me. I’m not really sure how long this arc is going to span, but I’m going to take a stab here and guess that it’ll wrap up on episode 15 or 16.
