Episode 12: Blessings of the Campanella

All Together Now

Everyone has gone off to the Waterwheel of Heavens to correct the flow of Eru and restore the life to Miriam. They go to the light source, which is a transporter to the other world. Aberdeen and Avril stay behind to fight off the approaching crystal monsters while the rest of the clan head off to the Waterwheel of Heavens. Upon arriving they find a tower; the Waterwheel of Heavens, however also is a large number of crystal monsters as well. The Clan immediately head on up to the tower (N.B. The ED Theme is played as an intro during the opening scene). Meanwhile back in Ert’Aria, the Holy Knights and The Tortilla Company have taken defensive positions on protecting the City. The crystal monsters approach and a huge battle ensues. The monsters and Holy Knights seemed to be evenly matched, but Golem dispatches them with one punch. That is until a huge monster turns up, when suddenly Fabious Verritti attacks the monster and with a fighting combo knocks the monster down, also Nagan Maycraft attacks the other monsters with a huge War hammer and knocks some of the monsters off the bridge and into the water. They then lead the Holy Knights on a charge against the monsters.


Mother!!

Meanwhile, the Clan are halfway up the Tower when more monsters attack from behind. Nick opts to hold them off while the rest of the clan head up, Garnet also volunteers to stay with Nick, to fight the monsters. Back at the city, the townspeople are gathered in the Great Church, protected by the Holy Knights whilst Shelley and Nina are back at the Clan Headquarters wondering about the clan. The Clan finally arrive at the top of the tower to find Mise Altoise inside a large crystal.

All Eru breaks loose

Agnes calls her mother, which surprises everybody. Mise states that she is using her body to control the flow of Eru to stop it going wild, otherwise all the Eru would disappear, making anything made up of Eru would cease functioning (This includes Minette, Montecchia, Miriam and Tango). She also tells the clan that they have a less than 1% chance of successfully repairing the Waterwheel; however the clan still proceeds on the idea to repair the Waterwheel despite the odds. Mise agrees to the clan’s wishes and stops her control to allow the clan to proceed with their plan.


Wait thats not Pikachu!!!

The Clan are immediately attacked by huge Eru dragons. Chelsea, Agnes and Carina fend off the dragons, Chelsea using her sword, Carina using Montecchia power and Agnes using Tango’s lightning attacks. Minette and Leicester head to the source to try and repair it. Leicester finds it to be a puzzle of some sort and when he tries to put the pieces together, he is forced back by the power. Minette uses her core “The Animal Feller” to calm the flow of the Eru so Leicester can work.


I have the pooower!!!!

During the battle, Carina, Chelsea and Agnes are overwhelmed by the powerful Eru dragon, resulting in Chelsea’s sword being broken and Minette struggles to keep the Eru calm, Agnes shouts that they can’t give up when Avril jumps in and attacks the dragon. The rest of the clan turn up to help, Minette prays to all the people and everyone in the clan somehow receives power from the people and they continue battling. Chelsea receives the Shinken Shi Lustine (That great big sword from the Great Church museum) with this Avril throws her up and Chelsea slices the Eru dragon in half, whilst Leicester successfully repairs the Waterwheel and the flow of Eru is restored. Minette appears to Mise in a dream and thanks Mise for making her and able to give happiness to everyone dear to her.

That's not Santa!!!

(Cue OP Theme here) Mise exits the huge Crystal and receives a crying hug from Agnes and sobbing “mother”. The beam of light disappears and the sun breaks through the clouds, the crystal monsters stop, the crystals fall from them and they return back into the forest, back to normal. The clan with Mise, Avril and Aberdeen return back to Ert’Aria for a party prepared by Nina, whilst Leicester turns to the Waterwheel and thanks it. Everything returns to normal for everyone (“Too” normal if you ask me), with additional notes include that Minette and Miriam (she is obviously better and cured now) are best of friends and Miriam receives a picture of Mise, Aberdeen and Avril who have (possibly) returned to Mise’s villa in the forest.

Happy Endings

That’s it for the series; although I can see where Lucretia is coming from about it being predictable and clichéd also the ending was a picture by picture type thing which could of being better if they had some animation of sort, but no. They also swapped the OP and ED themes around for this episode as well. I can see them probably doing an OVA or two extra episodes but would I like them to do another season? Maybe…
