The first half of the episode I didn't care for, usual boring Gate emotional back story stuff. Great fights in the last half though, along with some decent acting. Liked Haruto much more this episode than previously. Some real depth to him here.

Highlights of the episode for me were the hints at the Phantoms plan. Dying to know what Medusa told Lizardman that made him sign on board with them! And Wiseman... it's a bit silly that his plan seems to be to leave little magic nuggets on his bed for people to find, but I'm sure there's more to it than that.
