Much better than the first episode. I disliked the first, but enjoyed this one. I can already see now that my enjoyment for this series is hanging by the romance thread. Hopefully, its well done.

Seems a bit different from what I had expected to be like.

I find it very weird how the choices are applied when clearly it doesn't really feel realistic and the way how Shido tries to get along with Tohka just doesn't make any sense and everything seem to have progressed way too smoothly. I thought that this was a hard-on battle type of series but it seems to be different. It still looks interesting and looking forward to meeting the other characters.

4/5

Does Tohka's "baka baka" remind anyone else of some other peculiar individual? :P Like for example, this..? :



Was trying to remember someone like that ^^ Great epsiode.

Yeah, that's why I'm kind of disappointed about the voice of Tohka.
Yoroza's voice doesn't fit Tohka's at all.
When I saw the seiyuu, I was happy because well, she also voiced Yoko.
If she was actually voicing Tohka with a Yoko-like voice... it would fit better (for me).

Actually when I saw Tohka I thought about Yozora. So choosing her seiyuu to voice Tohka is perfect to me !

Akamitsu said:
Really? That whole conversation and he didn't ask why she's coming to Earth and destroying shit? Just "popping in from nowhere" isn't a very good explanation.
He did ask. And Tohka already said when she came to she found herself on Earth. It may not be a very good explanation but that is all she knows. As for "destroying shit" she also said that when she appeared people wanted to kill her. The destruction, besides the kukanshin "space quake", is the result of the fighting.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Also, when I heard the name "Tohka", Chu2's Takanashi Toka came into my mind. Then, I made the following connection:



Plus, they all have the same expression when they are serious!

Am I the only one thinking like that?

This episode just didn't manage to keep me interested. Not really liking the characters and the whole 'have to make them fall in love with you' thing doesn't do it for me. I'll be dropping this.

Live date huh?

Having a hard time to handle the character's personality. They are like a really badly written dating sim.

Okay, I gave this aine the first strike for ep1.

BUT

I revoke this strike now. I was entertained the whole time. ep1 was too serious, but in ep2, it seems like the show is mocking itself and dating sims and whatnot.

I mean, the reactions of both the teacher and the girl in the begining already had me in stitches, and it only got better when they introduced their "specialists". And here I was thinking having a deadeye gunner and a flight ace on my spaceship was badass.
Too bad, they can't hold a candle to "A woman who loved her boyfriend so deeply that she no longer approach him legally - Deep Love Minowa"


So, I was 100% entertained. This show is a keeper.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

HAHAHA, wow, definitely enjoy this, really entertaining. The reactions from the teacher and tobiichi are awesome lol, an old woman in need of a man and a weird girl (seems like a quiet type but turn out to be quite aggressive and a bit sick, sniffing his clothes!? O.O). The joke on dating sim is funny as well, love it when they introduce the specialists and the options are golden.

Well, I don't really care much about the plot of this anime anymore, as long as it keeps me laughing, I am gonna follow it till the end!

Tohka is so innocently cute hhhnnnggggg. Date! Date! Date! Date! Date! I can't wait to see how this date will turn out! And oh man since he's already asked Origami to go out with him, this is gonna get really interesting. Especially with that hilarious convo they had lol, sniffing each other's uniform haha.

Lmao at those "experts" Kotori's got under her belt. Now that's what you call an A team for love advice.

Tohka is so cute. I love the "experts" and their decisions. Just like a horrible dating sim. Looks like Origami really likes our MC. Gonna be interesting to see how she reacts to the "date". If this stays interesting I might think about checking out the LN.

Well I'm pretty sure there are more characters to come. Some of the girls from the OP looked pretty interesting. But yeah Kotori is pretty annoying. I liked her in the first episode during the first few minutes but when I found out her real personality she really went downhill.

This was an enjoyable episode. Tohka was cute and she looks really good in the school uniform.

The first episode made the series seem like it could have potential but the lame humor and directionless plot of the second episode is an instant drop for me. It was a chore to get to the halfway mark, shame because there were some great character designs

This episode was somewhat worse then the first one.
That doesn't take the fact that is was good. I enjoyed watching it.
The part were Tohka changes her uniform was the best part of the episode.
This was very pleasant to my body.

I didn't like the first episode and considered dropping the show but the second one was rather okay and made me laugh a few times (that and seeing the cute girls is all the show's got going for it atm). So I'll keep it on my list for now and see where it goes later on.

Meh... still not into this show yet. It's just so cheesy. :/ And normally to me cheesy is good... but this is just cheesy on a whole different level.

I did find Shidou and Tobiichi's conversation funny though when he had to flirt with her. That made me laugh. xD
