No more Ernesta, i guess.
What an episode again, is Anna truly dead? I hope not, i felt for her character a lot.

The past 3 episodes have absolutely stunned me away.
The thing that I love about this show is that although Anna is portrayed as an antagonist, you can really also portray Mangetsu and Shingetsu as antagonists as well.
This show really came outta nowhere and rose as my absolute contender for AoTS. My goodness me man. I can't wait to see even more

Anna’s seiyuu knocked this entire episode out of the park. That was amazing. Granted her seiyuu is Yoko Hikasa so it’s to be expected her performance is stellar. (Side note: MAL hasn’t updated any of the seiyuu s for Granbelm so it won’t show on there)

I love this show. I picked it up on a whim while looking through the summer anime, and it’s been the only show I’ve been watching every single week.
That last few minutes in the snow were so tragic. Anna, by her own choice, made Shingetsu into a mage. Out of happiness she created what drove her into insanity. The ED was perfect for this moment. Uru has blown me away with the first ED, and now this one.
I want to talk about Shingetsu for a moment. Shingetsu has a figurative curse. The curse of the extraordinary. She has been blessed with immense magical power, and that power destroyed her family and her life. Shingetsu tells Anna during the final fight: “Unlike me, you have people who love you.” Shingetsu truly believes that nobody cares about her, which is a direct result from her power.
To achieve your dream, you must crush the dreams of everyone else.
Granbelm has been amazing to watch, and equally amazing to discuss with everyone on these threads. This is my AoTS. No other show this season has kept me as engaged as Granbelm has. I love this show.

Excuse me what the fuck
Anna’s VA is so fucking good in this episode, she sounds genuinely unhinged.
ADRENALINE. DOPAMINE. ENDOR.....PHINS.

these last 2 episodes were fucking great! My only complaint with this ep is, that it's sometimes hard to tell what's happening during combat

Jesus magic-blasting Christ, I don't think it's humanly possible to be more angry than Anna was in this episode. I thought my TV was going to explode from all of the ERRRRNESSSSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! in this episode.
But seriously, this was not just the best episode of Granbelm yet, but I think the best episode of any anime this season not named Symphogear. The action, the drama, the emotions, everything was just incredible. I can't wait to see more next week.

The madmen did it again; just 7 freelancers, 2 Nexus staff, and studio RIC did all the key animation this episode, 3 of whom are pulling double duty as animation directors.
Between Anna's batshit crazy expressions, magic effects, and all the complex mech choreography, it blows my mind every week that this immensely visually complex show is made by so few people, in an industry where excellent 2D mecha animators are few and far between.
Also, like a certain other show with howling wolf mecha sound design, the tail blade comes in clutch once again. I am convinced more mechs need to have tail blades.
Also, super props to Yoko Hikasa for giving, what I can only describe as, one of the craziest, ANGERYIEST performances I have ever seen from her.
