Several episodes have been dragging out the Holy Grail War and how it continues to affect Waver. This episode explains a little more about it, but doesn't reveal much. This episode had me on a rollercoaster ride of boring-interesting-boring. I feel like the 3D models of the enemies here don't quite work; they look too superimposed on the 2D characters. Luvia's action scenes are a delight. Towards the end, the tone turns dark, foreshadowing what gives this anime its name. Honestly, it comes a little late, but there are still enough episodes for it to develop properly.
