Fantastic Children Episode 25 - Into the Zone
Dumas starts the final phase of transferring Helga's soul, but not without a fight as Gherta turns on him with some help from Cooks - however, Dumas is well prepared for any eventuality. A last minute change of heart and a moment of defiance are almost met with tragedy, however, and Helga's last hope lies with Thoma as he journeys into the Zone to save her soul.
Very ambiguous, yes, but I'm trying desperately not to spoil these last episodes too much and I don't have the time to write an extended entry. I didn't actually "connect" with this episode as much as the last one, although I suspect that's because I was running around doing a million other things while I watched it - while lots of rather emotional things happened that I haven't really mentioned above, I think I'm just too impatient to get to the climax of the series now to properly reflect on things.
Anyway, one more episode to go, and I really can't wait to see the ending. Pure anime gold, this one.

Xb). Also, I really liked that sound effect they used, which echoed her voice as she screamed, "Don't kill Helga!"
I wonder how this series will end... I can't wait. Only one more episode to go!
And on a final note, where the hell did that bazooka come from?! xD;;

Just kidding, it wasn't that bad.

This series turned me off the moment the Children explained that they were from another planet, but it's managed to pull off that schtick reasonably well. The Seth thing was heartbreaking. Can't wait to see the ending.
