Oh great, Medusa is back and she's not wasting time..

First half of the episode felt slow though. Well, Kagari still is confident as ever although her feelings for her mother isn't very positive. I can sense that burning passion inside of her. I like that sword she's using tbh.

Now Kagari is allied with Medusa and Witches Tower, a too drastic change in the plot, I did not find a good change, damaged the series.

Thank you, haven't watched streaming for a while, this show warrants spending part of my evening watching it.

Real time comments.

Too funny, Kagari's vigil, was she actually weaving with a hand loom there for a while? And Tanpopo chan and friends waiting for their opportunity while Kagari's mother is getting drunk and complaining the entire night downstairs.

The "non sleeping type"? Love the snide subtitles on the part of the streamer. And Kagari wearing glasses to be the perfect "oneechan", even to the extent of feeding him omelet rice.

As expected Kagari turns on her mom, they explained why last episode-

I now have great sympathy for big-breasted women, THAT is the reason why no one takes what they say seriously.... Is it just me or does Kagari have huge hands?

Still waiting on the exact relationship between Tower and Workshop, but that is one of the great things about this show, they don't show all their cards. Looks as if Tanpopo chan is about to become a Kagari fan.

Great episode, extremely fun to watch.

I never expected that Kagari decided to ally with Medusa and the Tower witches.

Kagari in Medusa mode was kind of badass.

Kagari merely did that to hide the fact one of the barriers in Honoka was undone, which if made public would cause her mother to want her beloved Honoka dead. The pairing with Medusa was a cute idea but only crippled the power she was used to so I doubt that will ever be used again and The Fab Five will just add humor and potential feelings of love towards Honoka. Thus there is nothing drastic changed in the plot because Kagari was just trying to protect her boo even if it meant fighting her mother and hiding a crazy snake witch in her room. Something drastic would be if instead of the two swapping places another seal came undone, Medusa spilled the beans, instead of a lap pillow and ear cleaning Kagari tried to go all the way, Honoka's mother really did have an affair and so on.

I enjoyed the episode and am excited for love to blossom.

Ayaka is so overprotective on Honoka; staying up late doing some stuff, and protecting Honoka from being in danger XD.

So Ayaka and Medusa teamed up going against Kazane, She looked cool when merged into Medusa mode. All because of Honoka's seals inside of him huh.

It was funny when she blew up the school twice. Uh-oh Medusa is on the lose again.

This show is so random, I'm not sure I follow where the story's going to be honest lol.

Okay so Tower witches aren't exactly evil. If we're going to use the alignment system, they're more like Chaotic Neutral. Workshop witches are uh...I'm not sure if "good" is the right term but more like they try to maintain the existing 'order' (Neutral Good?). The Tower witches want Evermilion's power while the Workshop witches want her to remain sealed. Did I get it right?

It's just confusing like two sides, while not exactly evil, have conflicting goals yet are still very friendly with each other. It's just...*scratches head*

Seriously, I love the character design in this show in general, so many different styles and colors!

It was stated that Evermillion's power made Kagari invincible, as if it was the most natural thing in the world... but Evermillion was sealed so her power shouldn't be as infinite as it is made to be, it confuses me a little because I don't know how exactly was Evermillion sealed away in the first place.

Heres what you need to know about tower and workshop witches, neither side is evil. Tower Witches use their powers for their own benefit and basically promote freedom to do what they want. Workshop Witches use their powers to maintain balance and order with the normal realm. Neither side is evil, just differing philosophies. The workshop wants evermillion sealed mainly because.....well you saw what she can do, just a small portion of her powers blew up a fcking building, imagine what she could do if she got bored.

Another fun episode :D Really loving this show ^^

Lol'd at the start with the nightmare (Kagari is a yuri produced baby XD) and then how they showed the night from a different POV XD Kagari disappearing the moment he woke up and suddenly having already prepared breakfast was lol XD

Honoka imagining how he'd become a bum and totally dependent on Kagari for wearing clothes, eating and even moving was hilarious XD...His face when she told "we won't be able to go to the same university" was lol

The action after that was fun. Kagari being determined enough to oppose her mom wasn't what I expected but was nice. Dat gattai looked awesome! But surprised that Kagari didn't know Vermillion wouldn't give her power if she's impure with Medusa. How Kazane destroyed the petrification was BA! Lol'd at the Dumb-tective nickname XD And the switch punch was lol. Dem Oppai O_O Flying Buttons attack Prefer Takao's zip bullet :P XD

Kazane saying censored words was lol. She's friggin pissed hahaha XD

Loving how Kagari is getting more outgoing and her personality is getting more apparent :D She's pretty funny. Lol'd at how she was trying to force him to kiss then gave him a lap pillow for an energy boost XD Poor Kazane, every time she thinks it's peaceful...BOOM!! XD

So this episode wasn't all over the place for ones and it was actually a pretty nice episode to watch, Ayaka looked great when merged with Medusa.
Tho it seems that isn't the end yet of Medusa and more is about to happen it seems.
The family expansion will cause some trouble as well.

Whew they finally explain why Kagari is hiding Medusa. I thought for a second they are going to pull a Tokyo Ravens and make Kazane the real villain.

It's quite refreshing to see female characters that don't scream when seen nude. The 5 tower witches are truly the most interesting characters in this series.. too bad they don't get that much screen time.

Kazane is so OP, so easily broke through Medusa's petrification that even Kagari couldn't do by herself. She's probably like the Dumbledore of this series and lol Medusa escaped again.

I think the enemy is going to be various factions: Schwarz I think will prove to be one, she got Takamiya to release the first seal, and managed to fool Kazane into not knowing what she did, so there is more to her than she has let on. Ironically being captured put her in the perfect position to remain close to the action.

The teacher who kidnapped Takamiya seems to be another strong possibility, though he warned Takamiya against Kazane, that doesn't mean he is good. Kazane may have a very very good reason to fear the release of the white princess, worth what she is doing. He also managed to escape from both Kagari and Kazane, so he isn't exactly weak.

We will probably also find that certain powers within the Workshop are not good. Those two girls are a good example. There was obviously a reason they wanted to get Medusa away from Kazane, and in turn why they let Medusa escape.

So most likely 3 groups, how unified I don't know.

Good overall show. I can see why he upset that she so overprotective, to the point of babying him.

The combine powers trick didn't work. She lost the real power when she did. But she had hot evil girl outfit at least. :P

Not sure why he so frighten. Thinking she was going to kiss him.[ Guess Japanese males even in household of mostly women are scared of kisses. (sarcastic.)] I could understand blushing or being shy.

Hey if she gets turned on by cleaning ears. I'm willing to get lap pillow and getting ears cleaned. :P

I like Kagari in Medusa form, too bad it wasn't powerful. It kinda annoys me how nonchalant everyone is (especially Kazane). I did laugh at "so we're not gonna fight?". The romance feels forced as well.

As has been mentioned, nobody in this show is evil, they all just have different motivations, plans and schemes....there ARE various antagonists as well as reoccurring antagonists, but none of them thus far are "Bwahaha I will rule the world" evil, that's what makes this series somewhat of a breath of fresh air, there is no clear cut main villain and the tower vs workshop conflict isn't really a war so much as a philosophical difference that leads to conflict. That said there ARE certain antagonists that are more nefarious than others (like a certain bomber that will be revealed in the future)

Well, its not like she can sleep in her own bed (with Medusa in it), and she is the "type" that doesn't need to sleep (makes you wonder what type that is). Her job is to protect him, and given who else was in the house that was the best thing to do.

Also, loved how quick she moved when Takamiya woke up. That was pretty funny.

While I agree with some of the posters that this show seems to be a mess, I have faith that this author is going to pull it all together into something fun. You can see things moving behind the scenes showing that something is starting to form. I don't want to make too much of it because I could be wrong, but from the previews it seems as Tanpopo chan and Kagari are going to bond a little next episode.

Ok, if I understand this right, Vermillion is the source of Kagari's power called mana, so Kagari hid those Ivory Bitches and Medusa since they can spill the beans on Vermillion coming out and that Honoka's survival was depended on the seal not being broken and if it does then most likely Honoka would have been executed by the workshop witches just to keep Vermillion from escaping.
