THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Another great episode focusing on Minerva but also “Otohime Yamato VS Sho Tachinami” whom was an insane fight for the sheer show of what Yamato’s powers can do in the spoiler
You would wish you would never fight her. For she broke Sho’s arm. Otohime in the following,

Show on a platter that she can manipulate almost anyone into a doll. She is essentially a puppet master with a certain radius that ensnares you into her powers of command. The guy next to her in the spoiler
is her twin brother.
Her face was quite nice here against Sho. Can’t exactly ignore the nice fan service of her panties in the spoiler
it was nice. Most of this episode was panties shots.

I checked out the manga to see how they changed things. they screwed a lot. I am shocked they did not do it a little more like the manga for the following reason:
-Skipped bath part with the girls. Minerva plays with Haruko's breast there. Fan service averted it looks like it it. Minerva was also shown naked there.

-Minerva greeds Takeru/Usui on the roof with the panties flashing. Too bad for it would make good comedy and reactions from those guys.

-The took out a bunch of people in intervening to stop Yamato's fight with Minerva and when she goes to Takeru's place. Too bad on that one.

Anyway, Yamato’s fight with Sho was quite the pain for Sho despite him looking cool at first. What’s really cool about him is
his hair style here. While I totally loved his deployment of his Maken in the spoiler
apparently it’s a glove that is associated with the light element from the looks of that hand that grabs Yamato. I felt bad for Takeru in the spoiler
for he really got it bad with Yamato. The BGM totally fooled me into thinking he would use some super power but Minerva interrupted that however the BGM was perfect of that to occur.

In thee end there was is only this nice blushy face of Yamato left after Minerva speaks to her.

About Minerva, this episode really explains her powers but not all their potential. For one I liked Minerva most in the following,

This is the only time she has her eyes open long enough to see them well. Furthermore she KO one of Himegami’s guardians in the spoiler
that stick is really dangerous. Minerva looked cute in the beginning and with the sparkles in the close up here. While I laughed at Usui trying to find a reference to her in his note book. In general Minerva’s panties shot fan service in the spoiler
was satisfying in the whole episode with lots of closeups.

I kind of knew something was up with her eyes but not how her power was handled there. While it was nice of her to save Takeru was was more interesting is that she can heal in the spoiler
she heals Sho but it shows it does take a toll on her.
On average I liked Minerva’s face 1, face 2, face 3 and face 4 because of their MOE/blushing. However the best of Minerva is her reference material towards Shiria in the spoiler
now that was good comedy. IN general they did a good intro of Minerva.

About miscellaneous stuff, I liked seeing Inaho lick ice cream here. It kind of looked sexy. Kimi’s face here was just plain hilarious and she a favourite of mines after Himegami. Can’t exactly deny that the fan service of Haruko/President/Himegami in the spoiler
was bad. It was good and no censors. I laughed hard of Inaho’s poor face here and of course
Usui was totally hilarious towards Takeru. While I will admit that Himegami’s face and the reaction of Haruko towards it here was a fine part. Loved it when both Inaho/Haruko were so in Himegami’s face in the spoiler
another excellent segment of comedy despite short.

Now I am kind of seeing the brother complex of Himegami in the spoiler
however it was much more fun to see
Inaho/Haruko’s reactions when it was their turn. Haruko was totally having a bad face in regards to admitting her love towards Takeru and Inaho had such a nice blush here when with no hesitations she admitted into loving Takeru. Loved Himegami’s laughter here and Haruko looked quite fine with that pose here. I find that Takeru’s power training and mastery in the spoiler
was done well enough. It also shows more resemblances of Takeru/Himegami’s brother.

While Himegami’s part in the spoiler
with her face off towards Minerva was done just like in the manga. I still find the interruption rude to a EPIC fight between them. It could have been one once Himegami was about to jump Minerva. Shiria was perfect with Takeru in the spoiler
good comedy/romance that got interrupted by Haruko/Inaho. Oh well too bad. Overall it was mild but fun to find out things.

About preview, looks like Takeru is dressed nice here with his friend Usui. While Inaho in her maid outfit here looks adorable!

BTW Intermissions in the spoiler
were of Minerva and the Finian twins whom are MOE but Minerva much more better with that getup.

Image Stitches done in the spoiler
some nice Minerva/Hanuka.

this episode was okay, something actually happens for a change.

With two episodes left, either going to be a bad ending or another season announced but i doubt that will happen

This series has just been average in my view :/

I liked the Doll House Maken-ki, but like this show has been doing so far it moves through the characters very quickly. Nice to see Himegami getting screen time again though.

So now I'm confused.....I could have sworn that Himegami liked Takeru...but its as if she doesn't in this episode. And yea, this season was ok, but it didn't really GRAB me like other shows, its like nothing has really happened all season.

So, it seem that Himegami is more than what she is in order for Minerva's group to be intrested in both her and Takeru.



I wonder if these duo will be the piece de resistance of this anime.

Just sort of plodded through this anime, it's certainly been nothing of note.

Just massive boobs on nearly everyone with gratuitous fan service and no real plot progressiion. If it hadn;t been for Inaho and Himegami i'd probably have dropped this ages ago.

It was an interesting episode, but the imprint left in that tree. Wow.... Did anyone think that could be an 'omen' ?

Yet another miracle, an episode that he has not lost in nonsense, not really, pursuing the story.
Narrative that would satisfy more, if he had not lost in crap right in the end.
Oh Well!
The drawings this time, are of good quality.

Damn! That girl is sadistic! She broke his arm and was planning to go even further! Don't want to be near her. Glad Minerva stopped her.

So that's why Minerva has her eyes closed.

I wonder who Himegami was talking about when she sad she was in love with someone before. Also she she completely human too? That got my interest.
