Impressions:

This is why I especially love part-school genres, since the fantasical/mecha/sci-fi side of the story will usually always merge with the school life side in the form of the lead revealing his or her powers to his or her school. This is also why I found episode 12 especially exciting. Things are rolling faster now, and it’s to be expected since we are now at the half way mark for the show. Yes I know I’m very behind on this, but now that I’ve seen and decided on most of the winter shows now, I can settle down somewhat and catch up with this show. Episode 11 concludes the twins arc, and I’m glad neither of them died. I guess it’s natural for someone to wish they didn’t die since their exceptionally sad back story is enough to convert almost anyone to at least pity them. I hope they get involved in the fighting later on though; I’m still waiting to see more alchemical warriors. I seriously doubt it, but perhaps Kazuki’s friends will become warriors like him. And on another note, I’m really liking Mahiro now, and she’s becoming more and more energetic. Hirano’s Haruhi voice is quite useful in this situation as well. I should also mention that this series’ hilarious absurdity is continuously rising. A fine example would be the super hero pose in episode 12.
