Welp, choices choices.

>Yes or no.
Well it looks like the episode added even more concepts with fantasy elements. Not sure how I feel about this tbh. I spotted some competition too. I wasn't into it much though since dealing with the flags is still the major point. Poor Nanami, that must of hurt.

And the sports festival just got started. Pretty good start during their first day, but Souta losing it on the 2nd day. Wonder what's bothering him...

Souta getting some answers from Ruri was interesting, I think he got his confidence back. The power of their friendship is strong. Damn the 3rd day was pretty good, but too bad they lost :(. I think they won't be moving their dorms anymore. Looks like a new character is coming.

Not much comedy in here, and the sport scenes was pretty short imo.

The school sport festival was alright. The sport scenes were quite short. Anyway I loved that scene where Souta do that Princess Carrying with Nanami.

Too bad, Souta's team had lost the game, but good thing that Quest Dorm gets to stay.

I wonder who is that mysterious girl is.

Not a bad ep. Souta team ends up winning the MVP and we get some nice plot stuff. All that's left is to find the clergy and the end of the episode where they introduce someone who probably be coming after since he has that girls powers now.

Always love the sound effects whenever the flags pop up above a person's head. That Princess carry with Nanami was great! Speed boost! They also got the MVP. Good for them!

The added fantasy element feels so forced. The pacing once again is pretty bad. It slows down and then goes full throttle. Still waiting for the actual plot to be included, but being already 1/4 into the series it will probably be left off with a bunch of typical plot holes.

The sports festival wasn't really sport like at all xD
The girl at the end transforming... is she the clergy?
The different world about finding a tree, wonder how they would really get into it.
Glad they became MVP, Souta is good at making flags! I wonder if Nanami having no flag means something special.

Being able to visualize flags is a brilliant idea, but this series is biting off more than it can chew. Trying to force plot in a harem comedy just comes out as cheesy and rushed. Nothing ground-breaking, but a fair way to kill time, nevertheless.

The lady at the end is most likely a future enemy ( and subsequent harem candidate). Wouldn't refer to him as "yatsu" otherwise, unless we're have two Minami-archetype characters.

Wonder why Nanami doesn't have a flag. Her reaction when Souta carried her was super cute!

Still, how can you carry a girl and run faster than others? MC power ftw.

Loved Ruri's friendship flag :3

Megu being a national record holder was lol XD But now s/he's in home economy XD

WHY SO CUTE >.<! I still don't accept Megu's a trap :P

So in the end it was all Prez's miscalculation again XD

I wonder who the masked girl was?

Finally, a new episode! The OP has such a nice feel to it. Souta basically cheated in that PK game though. Dat Cyborg eyes!

Souta is not a bad protagonist, that's for sure. Looks like the robot (Ruri(?) is slowly being conquered.

The games, when he asked the girls to win, were hilarious! Rin is easily the best girl, along with Megumu (well, he/she is a trap so...)

Uh... Ain't that ice cold? Quest Dorm breaks too many rules xD I see it more of a gag anime than anything even if it has a serious plot undergoing.

Take a look at the braid on the mysterious character in this episode and in the OP. It looks very similar to the braid Nanami has. I would not be surprised if it's one of her 13 (?) siblings or something.

That might also give more meaning/connections to why she is the only one without flags, maybe.

1. not fond of excessive wild energy the show gives off, but the dark side keeps me in.

2. A crazy harem w/ an enchanting ost & a dark mysterious side. How interesting

Ouch, Nanami falls down and the table falls down on her leg. I think Souta waited too long to notice she couldn't continue running. I'd pick Nanami up as soon as she stood up and run to the finish line.

It was an ok episode, LOL at Akane riding the horse. I thought she couldn't get off the hourse because she was too scared but they group throws Souta with the horse and Akane takes off.


Megu as always cute.


I wonder who is that mysterious girl at the end. She has a similar hair style to Nanami's.

This just got weird.
Glad to see he can fix his death flag though.
It's just a shame that this is all a dream he's having in limbo (I presume).
At least it's a nice dream.

This anime has followed a unique pattern so far... I always start the episode hating it, and then I slowly begin to like it as the episode progresses. It's a complete joke in the beginning, but turns into something decent. I think every episode so far has been like that. I can't decide whether or not this anime is brilliant or a disaster! I liked this episode though.

I LOVE MEGU-CHAN <3 and Nanami is an outstanding character all-around. I really love Megu-chan and Nanami, but the other characters are annoying. At least this isn't a repeat of Omamori Himari where I hated ALL the characters. :3

Every season there's a little comedy series that comes out of nowhere to entertain me immensely. 'Love Lab', 'My Mental Choices.." just to name some. I was really hoping that this one would be it this season, but it really isn't funny at all and the characters are rather bland to be honest.

The Robot Flag.

The bond of Nanami and Souta is kinda got a little bit stronger now. I want to know why Nanami doesn't have her flag.

I guess the girl at the last scene knows about the situation Souta is having right now.

Really digging this show. One of the best harems I've seen, the only one I don't really like is Nanami, though she's getting better as time goes on. I adore the big sis and the trap. <3 I hope they leave it ambiguous as to who he ends up with, since I don't want him to end up with Nanami (who's the obvious girl but certainly not the best). From the looks of the ED, we still have a lot of harem girls to come, too.

Huuum, dafuq happened in that episode?
What was that hero thing? Who is Ruri and why was she in his dream(?)? What is that weird girl at the end? WHY CAN'T NANAMI RAISE A FLAG?! Probably because of her tsundere power... :P

Anyway, the episode had his good moments. It felt a bit rushed and predictable, but it's not really what I expect from that kind of show xD

That was one beastly horse... fit in nicely with the anime... I think.

The generic Harem feels are coming in, and the Souta walks off like a boss! Yeah!

Oh noes, the black flag comes back, what will Souta's fate be?

That robot, Ruri, doing some work.
The decline of Moral will lead to death... I can kind of see the correlation in that.
Souta, no accepting defeat! Oh, he brought this conversation outside.

So he IS going to die, but of course he won't cause story... right? Right?
Ruri, just what are you?!

So Ruri is human! Kind of, she has human emotions. There we go.

I don't know but it kind of feels like Souta's being selfish persuading everyone to win for the sake of possibly breaking his death flag. Kind of mean of me, but I think it's the right thing to do, him being selfish, that is.

That ending though.
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.
