As a manga fan, I was really disappointed. But after reading the LN, you'll see that the manga added some things. Regardless, the bits the manga added were really awesome and perfect. I mean, the scene with Shougen was manga-only, but seeing it in the anime would have been a nice add. And omfg, yes, the damn Stage V Gastrea was just standing there, which pissed me off soo much. >__> I mean in the LN it didn't do much, but in the anime it didn't look like it was moving, just shaking.

While I do admit this episode was great, it pissed me off that it was so rushed. And I get it, we should be used to this by now, but honestly I would prefer one perfectly done anime than one that is being rushed. One minute he sees dead bodies, the other he fights Kagetane, the next he's inside the Ladder of Heaven with no arm aiming at a Zodiac Gastrea, and then he's killing Kayo and out of the nowhere, he's back in the Tokyo Area with an arm... >___>

The staff should have considered animating volumes 1-2 if this was the case. And I hear that they are trying to make space for an episode with Enju's favorite show: Tenchu Girls (the final episode). End it on that note, and this anime would be one to call shit (less than Pupa, but similarly). -___-
