----------------------------------------
Shit just went down!

Action was okay I guess. I guess the railroads aren't safe at all these days. I'm curious about the full extent of Yukina's power though. She wasn't doing too well in the latest fight anyways.

I liked the look in Kojou's eyes this episode. He looks deadly~

Wet shirt and green panty ~~~
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.

This ep. is way more enjoyable than the first ep.

Look like all budget that seems to miss from the first ep. are put into this ep. If they can keep action scene at that level of quality untill the end, I guess this show will be fun to watch despite its simple plot.

The character intereaction is also better. A nice relationship is developing between both MC.

@symbv There is panty shot in this ep!? Where? I missed it!

Awesome episode!! Glad that it kept the awesomeness of the first ep and even better.
It kept it's place as top5 of the season for me :D

Yukina is sooo awesome!!! Her ignorance of the real world (thinking everything is a weapon XD) was adorable <3...She was HOT wet out of the bath *A*...And she's totally BA to add!! Really great character.

Really loving Kojou and her interactions too. Giving me OTP vibes all over <3<3
It's like they're made for each other >_<...Can't wait til he drinks her blood like the last scene in the OP. That should be HOT :D

The fight at the end was nice. Shit got real. Love his eyes! So is he gonna go Berserk now?
Can't wait!!! Loving it a lot so far. And the ED was nice ^^

I can see where the budget went with this episode.
Now, time to watch it again try to understand what the characters said during the fight.

Nope, no improvements from the first episode.
The majority of the episode was spent on standard fare superficial fantasy exposition and mundane scenes with most of the lifelessly executed jokes revolving around Yukina as a fish out of water in her new environment and lack of common sense (oh, she doesn't realize that her wet clothes are clinging to her body, arousing the man she is so eager to observe, how incredibly hilarious!).

The action scenes lack proper fight choreography and are hindered by unnatural dialogue.
Animation-wise there are much, much better action series this season.

A shopping trip to the convenience store leads to their first serious battle

Love how her "watching over" him is basically an excuse for her to spend every moment of their lives together.

And lots of tantalising tidbits about the setting of the story is always good.

Overall good episode, I enjoy my weekly dose of supernatural action, and hopefully the next week will be even better.

Also, how the fuck Yukina knew that Kojou was leaving his apartment to go into the market?

This episode is truly awesome. Koujous red eyes were cool and that yellow light... maybe something with awakening or smth.

Love Koujous accent. Wouldn't be the same cool with another voice

Ohh things are getting quite interesting especially with that cliffhanger. The action scene looks great but yeah I have to agree with Eudaimonia that it lacks proper fight choreography, it definitely felt intense but I also thought something was missing.

Kojou's entrance into the fight was badass, I also found Yukina's lack of knowledge in the store items pretty amusing. Honestly, golf clubs would make great weapons. I like how close Kojou and his sister are, what a cute sibling relationship. Anyways, I'm really enjoying this series so far ^^

Main problem with this series so far is the female MC who so far seems kind of stupid, inexperienced, and weak making her a nonsensical choice for the Lion organization in the rather important mission of handling the fourth progenitor. Well, maybe there will be a reason for it later on.

On the bright side, better episode than last week.

I got more into the setting with this one and there's not very much ecchi so I'm optimistic about this. Still need to give it a few episode to figure out if I'll enjoy this though.
I probably regret this post by now.

I wouldn't say weak, she was just put up against two equal level foes. The guy with the glasses seems to be with Europe's version of her organization, so her lack of experience got her, along with fighting 2 on 1.

Though normally I would agree with you, I hate shows that create a bad ass woman and then have her turn weak in week 2. Yes I know the hero will eventually have to save her, but at least let her maintain her strength.

This show though I am giving a pass because this scene is really important for the true plot of the story. Remember she was sent to judge the 4th, so having him show his power and then lose control like he has is essential to the plot. She was becoming too friendly with him, this will remind her that he isn't human and she can't let the fact that she likes his family and personality get in the way of her judgement because ultimately he isn't in control. This will establish the conflict moving forward.

As for why the organization sent her, there have been some clues, and I think this is related to the plot I mentioned above. My guess is that they did not have a choice based on what they want to accomplish.
This "what", I believe, will be the main question of this cour.

Disappointing. 7/10 for this ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

After the first episode I was a little afraid that this series will move too slowly, but judging by how they got right into the thick of things it seems like it'll do just fine. Solid action scenes so far, but of course, it can do much better than this and I hope it does.

Also, lol at Himeragi almost getting wiped in her first major battle. If she's supposed to watch over Akatsuki, she can't be this weak, can she?...
