Zero no Tsukaima

I just started watching this and it really didn't interest me much until near the end of episode 2. But after understanding what Louise had done to Saito, I'm more than interested now. Although, does anyone else get this feeling:

Spoiler:

The wands look as if the design was adapted from Harry Potter media. With one exception, the handle/base is much more thicker. And the wand tip extends out as if it were an atenna. The fact they don't look anything like in FFXI or some other game/anime with elegant designs and structured wooden curls here and there makes me think of Harry Potter.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

These things and people are being summoned. The Wizards and witches are probably doing certain summoning spells incorrectly. Remember the Zerbst family heriloom book? A.K.A. Porno magazine. That was "the book that was summoned." The modern day soldier was also summoned. But not by the head of the academy. By someone else. That soldier just happened to be limping by and was timley enough to lend a hand.

Funny though, that an explosive would blow away a dragon's head. Seriously, dragons/wyrms are supposed to be carapaced creatures. Hard, outter shells protecting their bodies. Even parts of their head.

And understandable, since Louise can't do magic right, she often screws up. Is it not a coincedence that Saito was summoned by accident? After all, Louise has never casted a spell perfectly. Louise was probably supposed to summon something similar to her family name/history.

Anyway, episode 6 is pretty good. This really helps Saito out versus the whole, "Oh you're inferior, like a dog" thing.

And...

Spoiler:

Lol at the shiny sword.

How ya doing, buddy?

Haxx? Didn't you see the scenes where the runic symbols on his left hand light up/enchant strength? It somehow gives him knowledge on how to use any weapon he touches. Not only that, he gains a boost in agility and strength. So in a sense, the runic symbols give him the power to be a weapons expert.

Saito has probably never used, or learned how to use, a rocket launcher in his entire life so far. But when he touched that weapon, ths supposed 'Staff of Destruction,' his runic symbols lit up and gave him knowledge on how to use it. Immediately he deployed it like a pro. Other factual things such as the launcher's limited ammunition and degree of explosive damage were probably already known by him from other media.

And this 7th episode was pretty good as well. Really liking how Louise is trying to connect with Saito. Well, at least it looks like she's trying.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Spoiler:

I hope Saito remainds trapped in this magical world forever. Then he can start a rebellion with the Princess and Louise. Commoner uprising, do you need it? With Siesta by his side, victory is surely at hand!

Although, I'm surprised there weren't any questions like, "Hey Saito, why are you cooking yourself? I don't see any chopped vegetables. Nor do you have enough firewood to really turn this boiler up!"

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Saito and Louise KISSED!!! :aargh:

Oh come on now! It's only episode 11 and they're already kissing. It would make sense if this is a 13 episode show, but it doesn't look like it's shaping up to be only 13 considering all the unanswered questions about how Earth and that new world are connected. Therefore, it's too soon.

The next 3 episodes to be aired being (10-12):

Spoiler:

10. The Princess' Request

11. Louise's Marriage

12. The Zero's Secret Treasure

A certain someone needs to do more detective work.
