Just a little background on "Elohim, Essaim... Elohim, Essaim I implore you" .. who knows what it means for sure..like seriously. It's Hebrew (albeit bad Hebrew), and this expression has been used in other anime/manga. My favorite take is that she's asking god for a swarm of musical note. From a reddit thread on the topic: "A similar phrase occurs in the Book of Black Magic and in the Italian Il Grand Grimoire. A couple translations and transcriptions later, we end up with this. "Eloim" is "Powers", "Essaim" might be "Locusts" or "Swarm". I'm thinking that she's offering her soul to the devil/the angels/god in exchange for being able to captivate her audience. This isn't Faust; it's not a serious treatment of pacts. The Japanese adore christian mythology, similar to how the west adores eastern mythology. In effect, she's doing the same thing as someone in a western work invoking his "chi" or whatever. (It's shΕnen; teenage boys love foreign mysticism.)"

2021-05-09 16:16:01 +0000 UTCI will never forget the emotions I felt for this show. A masterpiece in its own right. For it to consistently be rated an 8.7, even by the most critical anime rating websites says a lot. On a funnier note, Kelc's sleeves quote at 18:09, needs to be a tanktop cause that was hilarious. Reminds me of how she made me laugh reminding us of mad Kiri in the hospital. Thanks again for the quality content, I look forward to more.
