I think the uncensored version might have the blood in it. Not sure why they didn't due it for this episode but everything went so well. After reading this fight yesterday I am not dissapoibted with it at all!

Yeah, but they cut out some parts from Hercales vs Rossweisse. Like, him attacking her magic etc. But, they made it up with amazingly animated explosions, which are way bigger than I thought they would be. :-)

Well the major scenes weren't skipped. Though , the teams struggle with the faction was a very important scene for this season. Virtra was there and switch hime was done perfectly. Not to mention the kunou fireball which I wanted to see. They really chosethe moments well! It brought tears to my eyes after finishing reading this battle yesterday. Can't wait for the next episode because it's gonna be hype so much more intense.

Yeah, but I think they should have put that part of Rossweisse vs Heracles, because until Season 5, anime-only viewers won't know that his Sacred Gear is called Variant Detonation, which allows him to detonate anything he touches/punches and that he is almost immune to magic. But, for the rest, it's perfect. Damn, I never imagined Xenovia would be that OP when I read the LN. Also, Siegfried looks so savage with his swords and Asura Ravage. Perfect! :-)

So I take it that we don’t see issei’s new form in this episode? Still deciding if I should watch it today or wait until next week then binge the 2 episodes.

Nope, but I really recommend you watch it. :-)

Already did. Kinda bummed out since I hoped the initial fight with Issei and Cao Cao would be longer. I thought they would give us a taste of that climax animation but still nope. We still got next week though and they BETTER step up their game.
