----------------------------------------
Wow, they sure ended Yoshino's arc with just two episodes. The anime's pacing was horrid and lacked so much details of the Light Novel. I still prefer the Light Novel.

Yoshino was so adorable.

This episode was very good. Yoshino lost her puppet named Yoshinon and Shido helped her to find the puppet.

I loved Origami in her maid outfit, it was cute.

Good scene between Yoshino and Shido at the end.

Great ending to Yoshino's arc. The ending song is probably the best of current three. Well with this arc out the way, Kurumi's arc is next which everyone has been waiting for. Shame how we have to wait for 2 more weeks for her appearance.

The only complain I have for this ep was how rushed the first half was. At least we got maid Origami and her perverted antics with her "I dont give a crap face." Also, they could have made the transition between Tohka rampaging in her room to her going to the cafe with Reine a bit better.

Second half was great. The anime did well in making me feel bad for Yoshino like in the light novel so thats a plus. I still wished they showed Shido having more injuries after he went through Yoshino's barrier. The anime made him look like he only got a few scratches while the light made him look like a person in a close to death situation.

Still give this ep a 7-8/10 for better soundtrack, the 2nd half, and Origami fanservice.

Yoshino is too cute.

I also think the episode was rushed. It felt like Tohka didn't stop teleporting (room -> café -> room -> battle field ->....). Oh, and they cut that Kotori dere+commander mode scene at the end, from the novel...

Next episode looks funny in the preview. It will probably be an anime only episode but I'm not sure, I didn't read all the side stories yet.

They doesn't explained about Origami super tight security and about her bought double bed.

Feels rush but can't be help I guess... ;_;, also Origami Pillow and the ingredients she uses for her tea was very funny.

Tohka hitting on the bread pillow was cute.

This arc ended too quickly. I would've like another episode to get the pacing right. Still, it was a good episode and Yoshino is just too cute. It's too bad that we didn't really get to see that puppet talk more, but I'm sure that we'll get more of that in the next few episodes. LOL @ Origami's security system.

That new ED sounds pretty good too.

Good. Rush it so we can get to crazy eye goth chicks arc. I really hate Tohka being a whiny bitch too.

Also I cannot help but think of this shit whenever i hear Yoshino. Sorry.

rushed, rushed, and rushed some more..... I'm really disappointed with how they've adapted the climaxes of the first two novels. Tohka's fight against Origami was lame, and Shidou pushing through the blizzard was seriously underwhelming.... don't know that there's any more to say than that

To all the people talking about how rushed it is.

Do keep in mind the show only has 12 eps. 1/3rd of those have just been used up. To cover a whole LN there is no choice but to rush as its not for sure it would get a S2.

And like it or not Tohka will be the "winner" of it.

Welp, guess I'm gonna play the VN when it comes out.
I seriously can't tolerate her whiny and bitchy attitude. If this anime is gonna focus solely on her and leave all the other characters in the background, that'll be a real shame because most of the other characters I find amusing and interesting.

I don't feel like listing all the good parts lol. I liked this episode though maybe it would have been cool to have the arc longer. Oragami was hilarious and Tohka would walk in at the worst moment. Also I really want to know why he can heal and if its really a spirit doing it.
If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime?

Again a very rushed episode, even though it's better than episode 3.
Yes I understand we only have 12 episode to do 4 novels, but if they cut the filler onsen episode we will get a whole more episode to finish Yoshino's act and explain something more deeply. Well I guess this can't be helped.....

Just hope the Kurumi arc won't be ruined.

Way to fast IMO! just way to fast! the LN was much more longer than that. But then again this is an anime adaptation so il limit my rage.
3/5 for me.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

I think you missed something. The readers (at least in my case) aren't complaining because they've rushed A light novel, but because they've rushed through two volumes in the series. It's also probable that by the end they'll have rushed through another two volumes. Four volumes compressed into a 12 episode season, along with rumored onsen filler, seems like a bit much to me

What's really terrific is the quality of the designs really interesting, for the rest of this episode while not shining for plot obvious and, at least able to have a well balanced narrative, fine Yoshinon see a new look and change abitazione.Un bit of hilarity I tried it during the meeting between the protagonist and Origami!

I agree the light novel was much better than this but i am starting to come to terms with it.
Episode itself was reasonable.

Tobichii was certainly trying hard to get Shidou's affection it was obvious she was after more than just that tho.
Tho Shidou could not keep up with that pace.
