Thoughts: Probably had a little more fan service than usual (and for Darkshaunz here are your screenshots =P), but this episode also show a far bit of plot as well. I would say this week’s installment was fair mix of developments and action, although not as awesome as last week with the insert song – Forest, but it’s still pretty good. What didn’t seem to make sense was why did Hayward and her henchmen let Nadie and Ellis escape AFTER having a nice bath at the hot spring?
Song: Forest
Vocal: Emily Bindiger
Composer: Kajiura Yuki (梶浦 由記)
El Cazador OST Vol1 is scheduled for a release on the 25th July 2007
Ellis with a smile..

This episode is awesome, why? Because it is about how about “Professor” Heinz and Ellis’s relation to each other grew from a “scientist-specimen” to a “father-daughter” kind of relationship. It brings the series to its peak as we get to see Ellis from young until the point Heinz got killed and it also show Ellis’s latent powers. Ellis is indeed an interesting girl we have in El Caza and how Heinz changed to like her to the point he abandoned his experiments just for her.
The episode shows that it is very unlikely for Ellis to be the “killer” who shot the “Professor”, there is another someone. While this “someone” is an unknown, there is something true for sure. The “someone” is definitey under orders /related or maybe even Rosenberg himself. That guy is under the govt since he mentioned about peoples’ taxes to the “Professor”, no doubt he will have some major backup up in the upper ranks
The quality and the emotions brought about in this episode simply moves me, the music is another factor that’s worth a praise, it brings out the emotions intended. The insert song was wow and it’s sung in english, seriously moved and I felt sad for Ellis’s past. It’s Kajura Yuki again whose musics are simply dazzling. So much Ellis goodness in this episode….I am starting to like this series again <3
ps: fyi, the insert song’s title is Forest, it is sung by Emily Bindiger and composed by Kajiura Yuki.

I liked this episode simply because finally there’s good development in the plot, Nadie and Ellis arrives at deserted town where rumors indicate that the people who lived there died due to an epidemic. As they advance deeper into the town, they were hunted by masked killers in biological suits armed with carbines. The both of them got seperated and LA revealed Ellis’s identity to her while she was wondering around. As for Nadie, she discovered a research facility where a hidden truth is revealed to her, yes. photos of little children artifically created fused with the DNA of the witches. LA reveals that he is a witch as well but as he is a male, he does not possess the powers to cast fire or summon the winds, however, he has superhuman powers and incredible agility.
Both girls got to meet each other but both of them knew something about the witches past but they did not share with each other. I am sure this will definitely be the main crucial point for the story to develop and eventually lead to something major. Nadie is now determined to protect Ellis with her life as they continues their journey south to search for Winra Marka…
Truly an amazing episode . ;)
LA looks cool with that cap

Pretty action packed and yea, LA gets into some action in this episode. The unknowns are now after Ellis and they are basically not humans…with speeds like hedghogs (well..they have a spiky head..and they are fast… :P ). I am pretty much suprised when I saw Jody in that Tacos uniform, I was like LOL? Nadie and Ellis are pretty much in a pinch but luckily they met this weird looking guy who helped them. No, dont be mistaken, he is not doing it because he is a kind soul or what but because he is interested in Ellis too..Well, lets just say he is a pedo.. ;) Jody aka Blue Eyes’s alternate or rather real look is gorgeous….man..hawt!
Something that caught my attention about these unknowns that are chasing after Nadie and Ellis. As what Jody had advised, to endure until sunrise, and true enough, when the sun rises, those unknowns simply disappear out of nowhere.

heh…It was amusing to see Ricardo with that cat-ear headgear and LA is now back to his usual Ellis-stalking action again, although they didnt play a major role here.. definitely an episode worth watching. This time, Nadie and Ellis are in a a little town where a procession is going to take place. The assumed person with supernatural powers is living in this little town, however, she is a fake somehow but she did have a real power, to be able to see one’s past. I liked the way this episode is organised as it starts to introduce another “gang” of unknowns planning and calculating the next action to align with Rosenberg’s and of course, it involves none other than Ellis. This group of unknowns plays a important role in the story imo as they are the ones who silienced the assumed person with supernatural powers and also seems to be on Blue Eyes’s side. El Cazador is getting back on track and my feeling is that it will get better as it advances episode by episode.
A plan set in motion from different ends, 2 girls on their journey to the south, stalkers and unknowns stalking them, i am hoping the anime will be handled well and not end up in some kind of disappointment.

LA continues his “treatment” in somewhere under Rosenberg’s instructions and at last, as expected, he ran away! Guess his passion for Ellis is simply overpowering all kinds of “treatment”. That taco song is really catchy and I cant seem to stop myself humming the tune after I watched that episode. This episode sets the momentum back again and I am starting to like it somehow. Ricardo is one character that I am paying attention to. He is not just a simple person, there is definitely more to his background and also whats with him and Lirio, that is something worth watching in detail in this anime series. He maybe like some quiet fella sitting down there drinking his beer but when its business, he is merciless.
Ellis showing another cute side of herself again, yea..Ellis in Amigo Tacos uniform! :D I am starting to slow down in blogging on this series, definitely need to catch up on this soon
*taco taco tacos!*
[Impressions/Summary]
The episode starts some digging action and goes back to the beginning to how it happened….Well, it is has nothing related to the plot line imo. It talks about Nadie and Ellis got chased by another bounty hunter who is pretty much odd and funny looking. The both of them landed up in some mine and met this miner, Illis who is finding a treasure – The Silver Cross. Well, they found it in the end but the grenades that blasted the mine caused the mine to collapse and bury the Silver Cross along with it as well. Ellis remains as cute as ever with her “Yes Sir” and funny antics that you can think of. Average episode, stale flow in the plotand yea…boring typical bounty hunter action.
