Nice episode, good for reintroducing more characters. And as an action/comedy/mahou.shoujo an episode like this is 100% expected in the beginning of the season.

Well this was rushed as all hell. Again.
Holy shit, the pacing issues with this show are only overshadowed piss poor choreography and immature direction approach targetting teenagers(fanservice, fanservice and more fanservice, nothing else).

If I had to describe this episode in one word, it would be: anti-climatic. Another word? Hollow
- Miyu's scenes were hollow and emotionless with no build up.
- Saphire stepping in at the end to fix everything was anticlimatic and rushed(HOW do you make a magic wand NUKING EVERYBODY's MEMORIES look BORING?).
- Cutting away to them all going home right when they did was anticlimatic as all hell for the fight over SHirou.
- Bazett's encounter with Rin and Luvia was anticlimatic, rushed and lacked the punch it should have had.

That is the problem with the whole adaptation. They are just "covering" things as in a play, altering things for worse, rushing other things. No emotions, no tension, no visual cues or depth. Just things happening for no reason. Without context, without any sort complexity.

As it stands the adaptation is completely hollow and shallow emotionless. A visual fest lacking ingenuity in the usage of said visuals.

3/5 for tatsuko alone.

Episode sympathetic than the previous year, the mix of serious and comic sides can not do it to become commonplace but not too serious. Good authors in making delight from fresh and pleasant narration even in the obvious or the beginning where it is proposed in view of the same scene in the first episode, in which Tattsun and the other girls run toward the sea, really nice vignette. LOL

@All: Thank you people, I missed your humor when I was on vacation and away from MAL. :D

This was by far the most retarded episode, and also by far the best one yet


considering it's only the second ep into the series lol

this is the only series where i wish no plot happens and every ep is like this one, but damn that'd be just another SOL comedy anime - which is totally fine :p

didn't remember bazett was such a loveable character last season, hope she doesn't go back to the way she was

Bazett is aggressive as usual, even with selling popsicles. She forced the poor children to buy some.

As she told her story, I almost felt sorry for her.

Tatsuko overdid it again.

Embarrassing swimsuits as birthday presents.

Meeting the duo of mischief already spelled trouble.

It's funny how everyone looked like a Buddha, but Tatsuko looked like a demon.

That Shiro wouldn't kiss Illya was obvious. No non-yuri kisses in this anime.

Bazett screaming amidst the confusion "who wants popsicles" was hilarious.

Coming back from the Flashback arc, you got 2 freaking sad moment for Miyu. The talk about the ocean and the party. That was literally 2 things that Miyuverse Shirou wanted to do for Miyu A LOT but never had a chance.

I think this series is dedicated to an LGBT community.

Seems Bazett has been reduced to an idiot.

Well, Ruby tried her best to give Illya's a 'present'.
He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame.

"3:08" scene in UBW where issei getting 'interrogated' by shirou intensifies

"when you have a birthday, you celebrate being born" hmhmhm yES the floor here seems to be made out of flOOR

also Bazett, i don't know how you did it but after creating 2 episodes worth of pandemonium and appealing as God himself, you made me fucking cry with laughter like 4 times this episode after being downgraded to a Popsicle seller and gave me an interest in women who can suplex me hard enough to cause an earthquake and be able to sell ice cream in a bikini.

This episode proves the necessity of a beach episode. It was absolutely hilarious. I laughed a heck of a lot more than I probably should have. It was random as hell and I loved it!

The payoff was so worth it, pure wackiness the whole way through, best beach episode I've seen in a while, hahahahaha. Fuckin' hell, Ruby.
I had thought Unlimited Blade Works was a powerful ability, but this!
This is something else!

Miyu really is the most engaging when development is considered, as well as story. Seeing her having fun is really nice. Everyone got their own time to shine in this episode, though! Even Issei, who had some really funny moments as well! Overall, really fun episode. Would happily accept another episode or even a couple of pure fun but I'm expecting the story and action focused episodes will likely kick in pretty soon.

This episode was so pointless and messy, i wish i never watched it.
- Bazette being a popsicle stand worker is funny
- What are Luvia and Rin building?
- Thats really all i have to say, this was bad. It went beach - truth potion - nirvana potion - love potion... what a mess
