Wow... I LOVED this episode! Seriously, this second season of Tsubasa Chronicles is really changing my opinion (and I hope yours) of how great anime-only stories and worlds can be!
In today's ep we get an Italian influenced world with magic, knights and a princess plus some great characterisation of Fay which gives him so much more depth than what he's had so far in the anime. Parts of his past with Ashura and Chi are both touched upon with some great animation (the best this season!) plus a new vocal song towards the end (sounded very .Hack//ish).
5/5 stars all around! Just great in every way! The whole episode felt like watching a mini movie with it's pacing and mix of action, romance and drama. I still can't believe how great this second season is.
Next week we return to manga inspired arcs with the begining of the massive Ashura storyline! Let's hope they keep the pace up like they did with the Piffle arc.
p.s. Anyone seen Miyuki this season? I havn't seen her in one episode!
