Finally, the archer girl shows up and seems she has a grudge on Kojou.

Natsumi-chan can really kick ass.

It seems like the pretty Asagi is being compared to Himeragi is who now the most popular and prettiest girl in middle school.

Kinda expected Natsuki to be some epicly powerful mage.
Woo!! Astarte!!

Damn... I wanted to see Kojou play some badminton (I'm a badminton player too :D)
Himeragi is damn cute in that dress
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

idk but I seriously laughed when that bench exploded.


Himeragi's the dullest person in this whole thing. I feel like i've seen her character hundreds of times in other shows before.
Even that guy at the end had more personality in just one single wink than she does in her entire self.

Agreed 100%. This is getting boring and annoying to watch. Interactions between those 3 are getting dull and not to mention generic and seen many times in other shows before. Story is the only interesting thing going for this anime..

Ooooh, Himeragi. :3 She looks cute. Bust 76, Waist 55, Hips 78, C 60 LOL. Good one Kojou.

Pretty good episode, i smell Yukina x Kojou already.

Dull? Generic? So what?! Himeragi is pretty, cute, she and Kojou get along pretty well, they have a nice chemistry together, and she can kick ass! At least she has a nice personality.

Asagi is probably the 2nd closest girl to Kojou, but she needs development. Lucky guy, having two beauties close to him.

I wonder what the guy will do to Kojou? He better watch his ass because it seems like that guy is after it.

I'm curious about that archer girl, which we'll know better next episode.

Also, needs more Natsuki-chan and Astarte screentime.

Natsuki Minamiya looks super strong and looks like Astarte has join her party :D I like Yukina's service but she's definitely not my fav female char here :D It would be good if she doesn't hit Kojou for every misunderstandings and minor situations >.< Natsuki seems to be the coolest one :)

Well....this episode really took this anime below the charts. I mean, I was ok with this episode and the action scenes are marvelous but everything from the fan-service scenes to the character development scenes was just sub-par. I guess, after the amazing fight from last episode, I sort of expecting the pace to move a bit faster and add lots more action scenes. Alas, that's not what happened, action scenes so far are just lacking for this episode. Though, there is one thing I liked of this episode and that's Natsuki Minamiya, that loli just beautiful and wickedly awesome in kicking butt. Her attack spells look beautifully drawn and animated, which has now made me fan of Natsuki. Though, sadly she get little screen time in the anime and kept as a mysterious character in the story so far. Himeragi, in truth looks very dull and very normal, she's cute and she's gives such a erotic aura around her when she's with Kojou but her overall character personality just doesn't fit the itinerary as the famous girl in her school. Asagi seems to be getting the short end of the stick early on, and doesn't seem like its going to let up.

I think that this show is proof that anime doesn't need intense budget and fantastic animation to be enjoyable. Poor Asagi! I hope that the misunderstanding is cleared up soon

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.

I'm pretty sure the new girl is the friend that gave Himeragi the hair pin.

And now it looks like we've seen most of the re-occurring cast. The archer girl being the last.

Why did Asagi give up so quickly when she saw Akatsuki with Himeragi?

Typical reaction.

eminagnam said:
Meh. I felt a kind of deja vu somehow. Being generic itself is not bad if execution is good. But the poor execution made the episode cheesy ans stale. Also it felt like a kids show due to the reaction and character design of the monsters.

+1

2/5
Almost a 1/5 if not for the last two minutes before the ending theme was played.

Agree, it only get a little bit interesting when Kujou was sneak attacked. He wanted to test Kujou's fighting capability but he attacked Yukina instead lmfao.

Baku219 said:
Mostly fanservice episode but got better towards the end.

+1 and it sucked. Leave the fanservices for the OVA instead, please.

Episode 1 had great premise, but it's getting more and more generic by every episode.

By the way, I wonder if they would ever stop with the "I accidentally walked into you when you were changing, thus I got hit" or anything similar.. It has been reused for at least 3 times already in this one episode.

I had experienced many facepalm moments whenever only one side of the party is oblivious to love-related interpretations; but if both of them are oblivious, then it's actually accepting and hilarious to watch the crowd's reactions that gather around them. XD

4/5

Episode showing drops in intensity both in the narrative, but even more in the quality of the designs! Too bad! D:
Not just the simple fact that the plot is uncertain, put the above as well, mediocre result.
If it were not for the first part of exciting and also interesting everything I would have bored and not the least, thanks to what the rating falls below the 4/5! ^ ^ "
Animations and chra that would give a great hand, but now everything is ruined by a work done with the feet, you can not conceive of such superficiality in 2013! D:
Plot, however, that makes something in interpersonal relationships, but the combination Himeragi and Kojou, I do not like how they are exposing, it seems a farce! Damn! D: D:
Strive for more, really! ^ _ ^

Astarte I like it! This is so fucked up! * _ *

Meh, a fine ep. Better buy a 100 onions just to be safe.
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 have a feeling she has a lesbian crush on Himeragi and that is why she's pissed with him.
It's a very well used anime scenario, especially in harems when they want to put a slightly different girl.

Natsuki-chan !! Caught you. Nice panties Yukina ! Natsuki beated that guy and Astarte is there. Streaching yeah right. That bench died xD. So he got an invitation and brings Yukina with that so cute little outfit ( dress) That Vatler seem a little bit lame but meh. IMO this part would have been so much cooler if Akatsuki would have invited Natsuki-chan and that she had a cute little outfit.

Himeragi is just way too cute <3 Asagi should really make her move (Though I already saw a spoiler months ago about her "making a move").
Blonde haired dude looks charismatic as fuck, but he seems to be kinda gay ahahaha.
A new cute girl spotted, and yeah, she is probably Himeragi's friend who gave her the hair pin.

But she will eventually join the Harem.

Akatsuki and Himeragi have been talking about "Fourth Primogenitor" stuff so recklessly around others, so here it pays off...


“There are two kinds of arrogance. One where you are unequal to the task and one where your dreams are too big. The former is commonplace stupidity... but the latter is a rare species that is difficult to find.”
