So... is the Rant and Rave format forever gone? D: Or are you just too busy atm?

Despite the Agria melodrama, this Chapter would have been amazing... and then Brandish came in like a hurricane and ruined everything. ( =_=)

Good:
 * Mira's terror and despair was one of the sweetest thing to come out of FT ever.
 * Although I'm neutral towards his surname, Larcade's Magic has me hyped. The young monk jive he's got going is cool too.
 * Hopefully he condemns Dimaria for her petty arrogance and executes her for being a blemish on the name of the Spriggan 12. Mainly because I'd rather not see another bullshit battle against her.

Neutral:
 * Couldn't care less about the Agria sisters. And Sorano's speech didn't affect me a bit. Boring stuff. Incredibly rushed and farcical. And dahell is with the unlocking of features? "I atone enough for 600 points of bad karma and then I can hug my sister. Then 10000 points to scissor her, YAY!" >.>
 * Brandish's type of personality is not my cup of tea, but her entrance was definitely badass. Now, she's worse than Sasuke. e_e
 * How the hell does she heal wounds?! She can manipulate mass, not mend tissue, for crying out loud! I know expecting logic in FT is futile, but next thing we know, Mashima'll be telling us that one and one equals eleventy gorillion. e_e

Bad:
 * So, August, my man, you're not going to put up with Irene's rebelliousness, huh? But you did kill Mira so that she would not argue further, right? Mind telling me how Brandish's blatant treachery (healing Mira) went unnoticed, you absolute fucking RETARD?! Lords, this guy is so disappointing. Brandish actually tried to negotiate on her enemy's behalf and yet he slobbers all over her, while Irene actually does more for the war than he ever could have dreamt of doing (like temporarily nullifying the threat of Acnologia, the guy who had August shitting his robes), and August can't even properly allow her to take down Mira? No matter how he acts from now on, I have no more interest in this douchebag.
 * Irene being sadistic is boring...

4/10 The whole Mira situation basically turned out to be irrelevant, and the Agria situation retarded. All points go to Larcade.
