Love that they had a lot of Sayaka character development here. And the Asagi's kiss with Kojou, the pinnacle of the episode!! Hoping for more ASAGI x KOJOU scenes... or Sayaka.

Just some information, he doesn't need to suck the blood of a different girl for every new familiar and he has 12 familiars. So even if he did need to suck the blood of a different girl everytime he would need 12 girls in his harem not 9

Fully action packed episode with some romance scenes
Not sure if I like Sayaka more or Asagi, such good characters in this show!
And it seems that i find Yukina's character boring, i hope some good developments revolve around her in future, she's a likeable character too.
I want to see some new male characters, we need love rivals too :D

Fight was okay, but I didn't feel that Koujo was in fact a very strong vampire (strongest vampire as what the subs says). Koujo's punch at the end reminded me of Touma.

So if that's the 9th familiar, where are the others? Will we witness a 9-member harem from this series?

That kiss at the end was surprising, same with the nosebleed lol. The harem.. uhh.. fight for Koujo begins as the first shot was witnessed.

I hope the next arc will be good enough to satisfy my low expectations.

Wow. Now Kirisaka is part of Kojou's harem. Ahaha.

It was awesome to see her as an archer this time, been waiting for it since I saw the opening on the first episode.

Also, Asagi kissed him! My goodness!!!!!!
So loving this anime.

Well it was interesting that we can say the 'harem' offically starts now.. (though it would seem Yukina despite not getting the first kiss in really is easily at the top of said Harem despite how it will grow ) Asagi did use a good move.. the battle scenes were fun too.. But.. how in the hell does she NOT know he is some form of oddity at this point?

So when is the next Himeragi 'bite' lol

I get the impression that Asagi may not be 100% ordinary (though genius) human. When she's decoding the commands, they do a deliberate close up of her eyes in which they gradually start to glow red around the edges.

I agree. He is building one of the greatest quality harem I've ever seen.

Needalist said:
Hmm, the ninth familiar. I counted 5 girls that are likely to be in the harem, so I guess there are 4 more girls to be included, since the newest addition id the 9th familiar.
I did not count Astarte, but I'm not sure whom did you not. Astarte, Nagisa, or Natsuki?

Anime -> A very skilled female swordsman/archer + Excellent in fighting with inhuman moves + Steps on a debris/soap/pop can/you name what + Lose balance + Grabbed by you know where.

/me shakes his head every time something like this happens and moves on.

Wasn't expecting the kiss in the end. Now he knows. From the preview of it, looks like the next episode will be Little Busters ~Refrain~ spinoff, just that probably won't even be a tenth of ~Refrain~'s worth. :/

Also, I actually enjoyed the show this week because I am watching Log Horizon after I am done with this instead of before like last week. ;)

Surprisingly the action in this episode was quite good... Not much else to add, though. There are as usual too many cliches, but honestly I don't even mind them too much. Still, Sayaka's change in personality was way too sudden and this episode was very predictable until the kiss between Asagi and Kojou that I actually didn't expect. Hopefully they won't act as nothing happened in the future.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

This anime really is like a worse version of To Aru Majutsu no Index and Campione! combined together to make a steaming pile of average at best.

Also why does he keep making Kojou punch the antagonists at the end just like Touma, he has a range of powers and the enemy are not even fighting with their own bodies yet the situation still gets forced in so he ends up punching them in the end anyway.

Why? Why did this turn from an interesting action show to a harem show with a male lead that cannot be satisfied with just one girl?

Right from the start, they establish Yukina as Kojou's lover observer. So why is it that he cannot tap into her blood supply more than once to unlock all his sealed familiars? Do all those familiars have a specific 'activation code' or something? And why is he surprised that Yukina is mad as hell when he does this? And how long till she realizes her own 'family' was just using her?

I guess it's now safe to say that all the girls we've seen so far will all become blood donor for Kojou eventually. Well, I hope all the girls will start to get along really well, then, and accept that he is basically cheating on them all, else this will become very, very messy.

First of all, why the hell would the MC and the chick /flirt/ on the battlefield?
To me it is more like chatting around when they found the way out.

kuuurt said:
Second: What a nice "lock-on system" for the so-called "weapon of the gods." The MC runs in a FUCKING STRAIGHT LINE, Nalakuvera shoots like TEN FUCKING LASERS, and only ONE hits!? What is this bullshit!? Either Kojou became a ninja between the previous episode and this episode, or this anime is bullshitting us once again big time.
True, but at least its learning ability is something that deserves its name of "weapon of the gods"

kuuurt said:
Third: OH WOW MY ARM GOT CUT OFF IN /ONE FUCKING SHOT/ I'M LOSING. Oh, wait, I have Nalakuveras lol. Yeah, fuck you.
Have problem with the guy's over-confidence? Seesh.

kuuurt said:
Fourth: "I'm big, aren't I?" "Yes. A lot of guys like them big." Eh...? Stop forcing perverted shit in our face every second, damn it.
In the context he was not being abrupt -- come on he just grabbed her boobs, so it makes sense for him to think she is talking about that when she said big. I surely agree that he could have sounded more discreet though but we all know this guy is dense anyway.

kuuurt said:
Lastly: Why create a virus that activates when a sound is played rather than making an activation button of some sort to make it explode!? Are you mad, woman?
Who knows what she could come up with given such limited time she could work on the code? You think you know the environment and situation there better than the character herself? Are you mad?


AO968 said:

Perhaps only because you never know the LN is famous for being a harem show (with action though) ?
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.

Nostalgia probably is blinding you, STB is way better than Index or Campione. Just that it's nothing new and won't impress you as much as you might have from watching those 2 series years ago.
