Well, this was quite an episode to behold. The pacing was very good in my opinion and we had some very excellent scenes. One scene I particularly liked was Tanaka’s struggle with himself and his resolve to report what he saw to Satou and Margery. I guess this might really be the last time we’ll be seeing him for a while.

It was very exciting to see Yuji kicking major ass in this episode. This is undeniable proof that all those training sessions was not a horrible waste of time. We’ll be seeing some tough enemies in the coming episodes, so it’s hard to say as to whether we’ll see him kicking ass again, but at least we got our money’s worth this time around.

Well, at this point of the series, there really is no more time left for hitting the slow gears. It’s probably going to get pretty intense all the way through to the end of March. At least, that’s what they’d like you to think. Since episode 22 is called 「クリスマス・イヴ」, I guess we might get a little break there.
