Great episode! The fight between Kagura and Yomi is an exciting and emotional one. I can't help but cry when I watch the flashbacks, the emotional struggle Kagura feels and Yomi's last wish to protect Kagura. Yomi is great! It's sad to see her die. (v_v)The end of the episode brings us to 2 years later. We get to see Fujiko, the new Head of Ministry, and Ga-Rei’s protagonist, Kensuke Nimura. Also, Ayame and Kiri survived. However, Kiri is suffering from amnesia. All she can remember is a gal, wearing black, stabbed her on the stomach and then left with a painful look on her face. It seems like Yomi let them live.With the end of the prequel, I believe there should be a Ga-Rei anime. If not, why would they show us Kensuke in the last 30 seconds of this episode?Overall, I like Ga-Rei Zero. it's one of the better anime series this Fall. The very daring and interesting first episode made me want to finish the entire series. Even through some parts of the flashback episodes were a little slow, my curiosity to want to find out what caused Yomi to behave the way she did in the first episode made me continue watching. I'm glad I did. The last few episodes were good! All in all, this series managed to meet the high expectations I have set after watching first episode. Not many series can do that. Thumbs up for Ga-Rei Zero!Plot: 9/10Characters: 8/10Entertainment Level: 8/10Animation: 9/10I hope there will be a Ga-Rei anime. I'll definitely watch it. \(^∇^)/Episode 12Yomis is struggling to maintain her consciousness.
