I really liked this episode. Although looking back I think I liked every episode at the time. I just got a bit frustrated with the slow pace of the plot early on. But ever since they've been letting Haruto emote and let his groupies out for air on their own, I've really been enjoying it a lot more.

The final battle this episode was appropriately epic. I liked the solution to the Phoenix problem, but it was fairly cold-blooded a move by Haruto. I think he's finally starting to take a personal stake in this battle.

I am getting a bit worried that the way they're dragging out the bigger plot that we're going to get some big info dumps at some point towards the end. They're really keeping us in the dark with this one.
