Good follow-up episode. A cliffhanger is always good for new series within the first few episodes.

Woah! Shit got real indeed. So Silver Link can actually do a good action series. If I'm not mistaken this is their first battle-heavy series. I'm glad to see the battle well done. Can be a strong competitor to the likes of Pro I.G in the future.

Damn that episode. Too many bishoujo and more to come. The quality certainly didn't drop and I hope it keeps up the great suspense, romance, action in the future episodes. Dat wet look!

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


It's for a split second as she jumps onto the train.

Looks like business just picked up here.


Lol, I needed to play that scene in slow motion just to confirm it....

IMO it was more than a good follow up episode and all the side characters just flowed in to the story this episode.

The lance fight was awesome! The swords were getting boring these days and there were no lengthy introduction dialogue and she moved it so intensely like she really wanted rip new hole in him XD

And glad to see a MC that isn't voiced by Yuki Kaji!
As of 27/7/14 I have decided trap anime Sword Art Online II has more appeal than Mahouka.

I always like it when the MC unleashes his powers... looks freaking badass.

I'm also wondering if Nagisa is some sort of demon or just a normal human.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

I thought that Yukina was going to be a strong character. Turns out, aside from the fact that she can fight, there isn't anything to her. She's embarrassed about having her panties seen but perfectly fine with having wet clothes stuck to her? That makes no sense. Plus, it's only the second episode and we've already encountered someone who can quickly defeat her. How is she supposed to be strong enough to kill Kojou? Right now, she's straddling the fence between being a strong female lead and just the main girl. It's pretty annoying. Just pick one...

That sensei! Yukina is sort of cute, and here I was thinking that she is generic from what I saw in the first episode but now it's all changed; she is great! Now he is reminding me of Ayumu from Kore Zombie. I am really liking this anime now.

Isn't that make you wonder if Lion King Organization really intend to send her to kill him? Could it be that they have a hidden goal?

About the panty shot vs wet clothes.

Panty shot = not intended to let anyone see.
Wet clothes = She intended to come out like that by herself. No need to shy.

Yukina's combat skills are disappointing. Was hoping she would be a good, independent character but those hopes are dashed.

I don't get why others are turning down the potential of this show this season. It maybe an Index clone but I don't give a damn as long as this show will hook me more.

Have to say, stalker kouhai living next door is so hot (particularly when she has to run out from shower to stalk you lol)
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.

Meh, this is so boring. Three quarters of this episode had me rolling my eyes and face-palming. Also, too much information dump. And from the looks of it, this is sort of going to be a harem.

Dropped.

Panty shot = not intended to let anyone see.
Wet clothes = She intended to come out like that by herself. No need to shy.


That's a big stretch considering how huge her reaction was. Someone who gets mad enough to start a fight over her panties being seen and who is still visibly embarrassed about it on the next day... That character isn't bold enough to be perfectly comfortable with walking around soaking wet. the later shows either a complete lack of self-awareness or a complete lack of concern for being viewed sexually. Whether or not something happens on purpose doesn't affect your level of embarrassment to that degree. Not in two situations that are equally suggestive. And especially not for an (seemingly sheltered?) middle school girl.

LKO could be up to something. Doesn't feel like a show with that deep of a plot though lol.

I haven't watched ep 3 yet, so maybe my opinions will change...

What is with the girl wearing her school uniforms all the time?
What is with the tsundere girl turning into a lovey-dovey "senpai!!" girl all of a sudden?

What is with that before death line? "If I die, will senpai be sad?" Really? Come on, you can do better than that. If I wasn't a guy who literally cannot drop shows I would drop this instantly at that moment. It was plain stupid. First ep was okay but this was just shit. Hope they will get their act together.

4/5

One more vote because the episode has a plot not far-fetched as the previous one. Instead of 3/5 I give him 4/5!
Episode made ​​much better by Silver Link, drawings and animations greatly improved! * _ *
Contour plot that takes less labile than before and even obvious narrative of characters and situations, it remains enjoyable despite not winning me.
The character design yet simple I like, the only thing that should be more intriguing is the costume design.
Color design imprinted on the blue too, not that I hate like color, but I do not love the monochrome! XD

Seems like this is progressing, to be a fine anime indeed.
If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

I can't believe they let the cat toy behind. What cruel people.
Btw did the people on that train died? Lol.

To be honest the art looks nice and the potential seems to be there but until now it really seems like something is missing. It's kind of bland. The plot needs more twists maybe or maybe a little fanservice can entertain more? I don't know. Well still only second episode though, they have time although i have the impression this is in he DNA of this show and the show will never overcome it.

This series needs MOOAARR fan services!! Maybe not too much but one pantsu shot from Yukina each episode should suffice XD


But there was a panty shot. It might have only lasted a millisecond but our expert eyes power by the ecchi force didn't let it go unnoticed. Her panty is green with white stripes.

They should just live together, right?? Also, their relationship is progressing too fast, though I don't mind that.
A loli teacher *o* I like her voice too :3
The fight scene was pretty cool. Himeragi and Akatsuki's eyes are something different.

The momentum is still going. Good. So Koujou has a little sister. Are they really? They don't share same eye colorof hair.

Kojou's English teacher is 26 years old? C'mon. Really?

Really like Yukina so far. I like how she doesn't know normal things like detergent.

The action in the episode was nice to look at but I thought it was decent at best.

But on the other hand, it is kind of good to see that Yukina and Kujo are kind of getting alone (I like the part where he manages to get her the prize from the crane game).

Loli teacher ftw.

So, Yukina is now also his neighbour. Makes sense.

How she came out of the bath was hilarious. She really wanted to go out like this.

Because she has to be with him all the time, he goes shopping with her. She really is a weirdo, thinking that household items are weapons.

She wanted a plushie and they were almost caught by Loli-Sensei.

Cool fight next episode. Kojou's eyes were savage.
