Hmmm, I hope we see Cecily in that ponytail more often.

Wow, that was absolutely perfect.

Aria is love, and Aria X Cecily is pure love!

Heh, I wonder what Lisa intended to say about Aria during that "Aria is my..." scene. Speaking of Aria, given her "Slay God" line, it would be kind of funny if an opponent comes up that she can't do any damage to and that opponent then decides to say "By the way I'm God". Actually, I'm half-expecting that to happen.

They sleep together! <3 Well, so it appears that Cecily's black shirt does completely cover her front. Which, of course, doesn't explain at all what happened to it when her armor broke.

Aria and Cecily are engaged. End of story.

From friend to comrade. And next episode wife!

[HitokiriShadow]

Aria is crawling into Cecily's bed and molesting her at night. <3 Aria

She appears to be quite fond of Cecily's breasts. <3 <3 Aria

Then she suggests that Cecily should flash her breasts at Luke to get him to make that katana (though she's done that already and it didn't get her anyway... though the subsequent beating may have negated the benefits). <3 <3 <3 Aria

Cecily: "You WILL be my friend!"
Aria: "It looks like you're proposing to me."

Big <3s to both of them, their lines together here were just fantastic.

Lily gets to do her forge thing again, and this time she does something odd and kind of cool with her left eye when she begins. Also, she had an interesting line regarding Aria ("She's my....").

Thankfully, Cecily looks to be getting over her killing issue quickly. She promised Luke that she could and would kill the guy to save Aria and she looks determined to do it. "If I can't kill someone, I can't save someone". Thank god, we have an anime hero who realizes the obvious and doesn't whine and agonize over it for at least half a dozen episodes and possibly watching someone die because of their idiocy before getting it.

Cecily fulfilled her promise wonderfully. Once she set her mind to hit, she had no hesitation, grabbed the red hot Aria-sword, gave Aria a really nice speech, and impaled the fire demon thing. And she didn't moan, whine or otherwise have difficulty dealing with it after the fact either. I was slightly concerned that they made it a bit easy for her since the thing was clearly not human, but Cecily went back to the scene to see the now-human looking body and clearly sees what she did as killing a person not an inhuman monster. Fantastic.

Then we get a wonderful scene between Aria and Cecily at the end. There will be no next time, stay with me and be a sword that protects people. Be my comrade (like the nice little eyecatch earlier in the episode). Aria is brought to tears by Cecily's words. Fantastic end to the first arc.

<3 <3 <3 Cecily
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Aria
Oh, <3 <3 <3 Lily too, though she didn't do much this episode other than wiggle her glowing Eye of Awesome Forging +5. This is the only ED this season I care about watching, and its not because of the pleasant and somewhat cute but utterly average and forgettable music.

She reminds me a lot of Ui from K-On when she goes without that whatever thing she wears on her head.

From what I can hear, she actually said "Aria-san, watashi to..." not "watashi no". Which should mean "Aria and I are..."

Ah, that makes it a different story. Although it still leaves it as a vague mystery. Only thing we're know for certain is neither one is an average human.

That trap plan sure didn't go over too well. A lot of people died just to take out one demon. I'm very glad Cecily got over her hesitation about killing people. You can't be a knight if your afraid to use your sword. I was little worried that Luke was going to do all the dirty work again, but Cecily pulled through in the end.

The Aria/Cecily scenes were definitely the highlight of the episode.

Generally speaking, you don't toss level one archers, knights, mages, and solders at a demon. Of course, you go to war with the army you have and all that. But let's be honest. They didn't stand a chance regardless of the plan.
