「家族割り」 (Kazoku Wari)
“Family Discount”
Sometimes in an anime, a character will say something that’s been obvious to the viewer all along, but never muttered aloud on screen. The interesting part comes in seeing how the characters react to it.

「ドオルニエルの乙女たち」 (Doorunieru no Otome Tachi)
“De Ornielle’s Maidens”
Ahhh Zero no Tsukaima F, you were doing so well. I know you’ve got a lot of source material to churn through in not enough time, but was this episode really necessary? It reeked of filler. Filler that was in the light novels perhaps, but filler nonetheless.

「茉莉香、決意する」 (Marika, Ketsui Suru)
“Marika Makes a Decision”
“Electronic Warfare, Start!“ Last week’s episode title led me to believe I’d get to see Odette II’s battle against their unknown enemy Lightning 11, only to hold off after some more strategic build-up, so my anticipation for this episode was a bit higher than usual.

「誰が為に」 (Ta ga Tameni)
“For Who’s Sake”
With enough dialogue to write a small book, this week’s episode managed to fill in a lot of the holes that we were left with after Shana and Yuuji’s previous encounter.

「Triangulation」
Even though all the “character development” was sorely disappointing, this episode wasn’t a complete waste of time because it gave us a hint of things to come and serves as a good setup for another fantastic aerial battle at Boreas.

「かれんビー 其ノ伍」 (Karen Bii Sono Go)
“Karen Bee Part Five”
If only all episodes of House M.D. were this entertaining. Patient is afflicted by a mysterious disease…

「なお昏き深淵の底から」 (Nao Kuraki Shinen no Soko kara)
“From the Bottom of the Shadowy Abyss”
Well it sure didn’t take long to find out who the informant is within the Mobile Disaster Prevention Unit, as it was easy to pick up on the voice in the early parts of this episode — well before they made it blatantly obvious.

「I Want to Know the Truth」
Future harem leads, pay attention to Persona 4, as it contains an example of a character you should emulate – and one you should not (Yousuke, I’m looking at you).

「元カノ,倒します!」 (Moto Kano, Taoshi Masu!)
“Going to Beat My Ex-Girlfriend!”
This is the episode where Rias-senpai takes the gloves off and shows exactly why she’s the King, and why the Gremory clan is feared. People really shouldn’t mess with Rias-senpai or her family. That’s not the kind of mistake you get to make twice.

「江ノ島高校フットボールクラブ！？」 (Enoshima Koukou Futtobooru Kurabu!?)
“Enoshima High School’s Soccer Club!?”
A full-on time skip and a lot of hamburgers later, Area no Kishi has really reshuffled the deck.
