Impressions:

Judging by the preview, it looks like FINALLY, Louise and Saji are gonna get involved in the bigger picture, as for the past 15 episodes, they’ve just been random duds as characters that had nothing to do with anything. It seems like Louise is going to get into some (physical) trouble, though the kind of involvement I’ve been picturing has a lot to do with them and Setsuna, since they seem to see each other enough. Speaking of Setsuna, wow, that kiss that he got must’ve crushed him hard…not that I care—I don’t even see Marina as a good pairing for him…ah well.

The Haro vs Haro thing is pretty funny, but at the same time devilishly stupid. I can’t believe the producers put something like that in the midst of all the seriousness. And the scriptwriters are either planning something phenomenal as a result of the meeting of the two Meister parties, or were just being lazy and didn’t bother including a proper reason for the Throne’s ‘invasion’ of the Meister’s ship (did it have a name?) I can’t imagine what they would’ve done if Sumeragi had simply refused Nena access to the ship…But I guess that would be an excusable reason for now…

And about the Thrones…do I like em? Yes, in fact I do, as they really spice things up. I can’t wait for Setsuna to get up there and start making a fuss about them, or picking a fight. But if he does, he better be the one beating the other down, if he’s to prevent himself from ending up as a failure of a protagonist. And they claim they’re older models, do they? That would make things quite sad if the four Meisters that we know end up getting their asses handed to them. I like Nena’s spunk in particular, as there haven’t been any important characters like her thus far. But it doesn’t look like she’s gonna stay a good guy for long.
