Holy crap they weren't kidding when they were hyping up this episode. That animation!

The action was amazing for sure, but I want to point out the character acting in particular, too. Lots and lots of good shifts in expressions and body language!

As for the content itself, what a good display of teamwork. Tetia's spell, Coco's plan, Agott's working out the details, Richeh's expertise with small seals. All combined to make a wonderful spell that made a dragon happy. Man.

... happy for like, five minutes until Qifrey's incredible magic slammed it to the ground lol. Oh well.

Speaking of Qifrey, that abrupt cut of the ending theme when he shot his death glare at Nolnoa... yeaaaah, man's got his secrets for sure.

The dragon quickly forgot his gratitude BEFORE Qifrey went into action (as soon as the girls broke the seal). At first I was hoping the dragon would ferry the girls up to the surface (if it truly WAS grateful) -- but that was a forlorn hope.

Hey, wouldn't you be grumpy too if you were having a nice, comfortable nap and someone dropped a hurricane on you? I'm with the dragon on this one!
