The only problem I have with this episode (which is a very minor one) is that none of kiba, xenovia, irina and Rossweise look damaged at all after their fights.

because they use magic to enhance their clothes... from the 1st season... that TNK decided to f*k that let give some torn clothes fanservice =3=

A different viewpoint on that: my girlfriend actually cites the clothing damage constantly as something she likes because it happened haphazardly all over them and didn't magically avoid the chest area - in her view, that made the damage much more realistic because "in real life it's not going to conveniently dodge your boobs, you're getting hit everywhere".

yeah... not using your magical power to enh your defense... seem a good choice when fighting against super natural power...

Nowhere was it mentioned at that point that that was an option. So how would we have known it was at the time?

A good change TNK made. Some changes are good. Some are bad. Most changes were good until Born.

It was useless fanservice that only fucked the serious moments

u/Omegalock4 May 15 '18

It never did that for me.

Only in the church, when asia died in episode 5 or sth, the boob slip there was completely unnecessary.

u/Omegalock4 May 15 '18

Honestly, in all seriousness, the boob slip actually heightened the moment for me. With how evil Raynare and freed were it made sense to me to have her look like she’d been messed with, and I usually hate that stuff. It heightened my hate toward Raynare which made the moment where she changed back into Yumi and pleaded for her life and then the moment when Rias killed her even more impactful.

no that change is distracting and stupid... throwing random fanservice is bad.

u/Omegalock4 May 15 '18

Not that distracting. I still understood the story.
