Welp, we get a new OP song this episode which is roughly the half mark.

Poor Shizuku though...
I thought she needed that moment of bonding. We get more info dump this episode too.

Is that a new ED song too? Oh yes it is.

New OP & ED time.

Is that gun legal? Sister is stronger, though.

Some talk about main guy must help out more in winning.

New OP pretty much confirms Yokohama arc. Not to mention there's still parts of volume 5 needed for the story. Hoo boy, I'm excited as to how they'll do it(read: how much they'll cut out).

Definitely felt bad for Shizuku. These siblings are just too OP. Not to mention there's more to Miyuki's circumstances that makes this fight even more of a child's play to her.

I know about the costume of the Mirage Bat from Miyuki but seeing them like that made me shake my head. It just felt weird to see that costume and be called its official costume for the competition. I know there are reasons, mostly because it's pretty, but seeing it outright was just weird.

And I'm not going to discuss the logic of their decision to include Tatsuya in the Monolith Code. It's just how it is. Tatsuya needs to be in the spotlight everytime. Thanks Satou Tsutomu.

Somehow I'm not excited for the Monolith Code. That's just how low my expectation has been for this show.

And that buildup of the ED leading to Tatsuya's pose like that. If I was drinking I would have spat it out because of it.

New OP and ED was awesome!

A few things were skipped but overall this was a well paced episode. Shizuku lost even with Tatsuya's help, though he knew she had no chance from the beginning.

Leonhart and Mikihiko.
Including Tatsuya, they are all first course student.
Tatsuya argued as far as not wanting to embarrass his school, until Junmonji pushed the role to Tatsuya, he went all "I have a plan", and again suggested to others a method that he can do what he does best.

Since the start of this arc, the first seen of these team work of three boys in PE class, it was already decided back then.
Leonhart the brawn, Mikihiko the brain, and Tastsuya the balance of between these two specs.

I hope, finally this "unknown" criminal syndicate will officially show themselves and no more "discussions" in the upcoming episodes.

Miyuki won the Pillar Break by a lot! A bit sad that Shizuku felt that bad :O Sharing first place wouldn't have been so bad.
Nice to see Mirage Bat and Monolith Code in part.
Monolith Code with Tatsuya in it! Those two from third high... the Monolith Code should be interested with Tatsuya in it.

Tatsuya seems so weak when it comes to Juumonji. If it was anyone else, I'd think he was intimidated by him but it's Tatsuya so it can't be. I have no doubt it's due to the match-up compatibility of their magics.

New OP & ED and one of the better episodes also. It wasn't the typical Tatsuya is a total god (he still was godly though) and the girls weren't slobbering all over him. We actually got some real developments and events to look forward to. Things may start to get a bit interesting. I hope!

It was kinda sad to see Miyuki asserting her position as Alpha Bitch in such an emotionally devastating way.

I was slightly scared that with that sabotage they would have to skip quite possibly the only interesting event in this competition. Good thing there's the only capable male character to save the day

Yay. New OP... the ones who made the 2nd KLK OP.

Finally, I have been waiting for Tatsuya to join the front lines. I love that he doesn't have a say to refusing it. Hahaha.

The confrontation to that Masaki guy is going to happen.

I actually thought this was the best ep in quite a while ^^

Liked the prev OP more (The Yokohama scenes in this one weren't bad though and is that CG I see being used when Tatsuya was flying?) But I liked the new ED more ^^

Poor Shizuku. Got Owned even though she used something considered really rare for her level. TOO OP XD

Honoka surfing like a BOSS was nice ^^ And Mirage Bat wasn't bad esp A-chan and her "MASAKA!" XD She's on to u Tatsuya XD

Tatsuya's monologue in bed was nice to see and finally the choice of him being a participant in MC. His smile when he said for their ability at the end was nice :)

nce to see some action more, as usual Miyuki kick ass in the pillars break, poor Shizuku, but oh well, shizuku was considered pretty strong too, but Miyuki is just too OP ( the fact that she's the ice queen and the member of the yotsuba clan) and not too mention, that's probably just like 1/10 of her power.

Expecting to see Tatsuya scattered everywhre. of course he's going to participate in Monolith Code, and now he's going to face Masaki and george.. woo, finally a formidable opponent ( although i doubt that, but maybe close enough)

4/5 for me for this episode.

I wish they would have shown more of the Monolith Code buildup and action instead on focusing so much on the victories resulting from Tatsuya's superior engineering. We know they're going to win no matter what anyway.

Like the new OP and ED though i don't think the new OP is as good as the first one, but at least it's like a halfway marker for the series.
I thought it was obvious that they would substitute in Tatsuya for Monolith Code, and after all, third high really want to go against him so it should be interesting.
Is it just me or does that guy from third high look a lot like Suzaku from Code Geass?

Another episode where our main character Kirito errr... I mean Tatsuya gets all the chicks and leave nothing for the gentlemen that is actually trying to get them. With the overly attached sister to top it off. Seriously am I the only one who was on Miyuki side telling her congrats on winning her round in the competition? Because there is a point of praising someone who wasn't even a part of the competition anyway just there to tune a CAD to make sure they can compete. If this is going the rest of the way to the end I will claim that the first episode was the biggest cock tease this season by far. Pretty animation and a good music doesn't mean anything if there are little to none likable characters (that is not a side character), a good story we can get behind, not some school competition where we discuss how magic works in 5 minutes where it can be sum up in one sentence by the common viewer. Seriously, watch any episode and read what they say carefully and then sum it up you will surprise how clever they put simple situations into complicated paragraphs.

Such incest. I definitely preferred the old opening at least, more so than the new one. Both the ending themes never really struck me either time. Erika's new hair in the op looked cute though.

I'm looking forward to watching Monolith Code play out. Masaki and George seem like such interesting characters so it'll be fun to see what both sides come up with in their attempts to beat the other.

Hm, uh, don't think I like the OP and ED. At least there's confirmation now that it will be the Yokohama Disturbance arc next.
Shizuku :( Didn't have a chance against Miyuki.
And dat bonding moment with Honoka
Azusa realises Tatsuya is Taurus Silver. Expected that to be in this episode.
Juumonji not giving Tatsuya a chance to get out of it. lel.

Well then, I suppose they'll be battling next episode.

OP2 was fine. Not as good as the first one (animation and song) but fine. Tatsuya's poker face at its end was ridiculous though. Like the second ED.

The episode itself was pretty boring but it managed to get me hyped for the next one so it's fine.

The episode was average, the new opening song is really good too especially since we get to see some action scenes of what to come, but of course they had to ruin it with Miyuki scenes trying to hold hands with her brothers and making them look like lovers which they're not, seriously can't they just stop this, it wasn't funny from the start.
The arc overall is quite underwhelming, when reading the LN the events felt longer and there was more tension to them, now they just spend the time talking and the battles end in a flash. They even removed the tension from the accident that happened, they should've shown the event WHILE it was happening and then show us Battering Ram crushing the students, rather than just telling Tatsuya about it later on.
Also I just checked and it seems we're at around 45% of volume 4, which bothers me since I don't think 2 more episodes will be enough to end this volume, they'll probably end it at 3 more eps which makes it less likely to get volume 8 too which is a much better ending for the season than volume 7.

I kind of irked me how some things were cut in this episode. Miyuki's and Shizuku's was cut way too short and left me feeling cheated(The LN had the perfect length for the battle). And the whole "reveal" of Taurus Silver to Azusa felt way too simplified.

Though, I can't wait to see Tatsuya kicking butt with his strategies in Monolith Code. I prefer it when characters win using their smarts, rather than two guys pummeling each other until one of them passes out.

Tatsuya seems so weak when it comes to Juumonji. If it was anyone else, I'd think he was intimidated by him but it's Tatsuya so it can't be. I have no doubt it's due to the match-up compatibility of their magics.

Not sure if it was mentioned in the Anime, but it's been said by Tatsuya that his and Juumonji's Magics match too well. If they were to use their abilities against each other it'd turn into a battle of attrition and neither side would come out of it unscathed. Hence to someone used to being OP, Juumonji makes Tatsuya feel uncomfortable. Also the reason Tatsuya looked so shocked in this episode was because Juumonji prevented Tatsuya from weedling out of responsibility, not with Logic, but with cold hard authority. Tatsuya hates it when he's forced to do things for no logical reason or benefit for himself and Miyuki.
