Welp, poor Basara..

Doesn't seem like action stopped with the pacing. Meh, I wonder how far they will go with this in regards with Mio's powers. Yuki's armor doesn't look half bad this episode. They're also pushing the rivalries as well although it feels dense.

I get the feeling that the protagonist will experience all misfortunes one could possibly get except for ntr.

A much more action oriented episode, ecchi was pretty much not even there. As expected Basara's friend was the masked man, though it seems as if they've called a ceasefire for now. We also get a bit of Basara and Yuki's past this week, and a somewhat ominous ending with Basara's dad. I wonder who he was talking to, I'll guess that nurse from last week.

Next episode title also has me intrigued...

It was an okay episode. I think everybody did expect who the person was behind that mask.

Awww, Basara and Yuuki as lil kids were pretty cute and it seems he defeated that guy that got himself possessed with his laser beam XD.

It would seem that Mio is taking the fight to the mask demon guy whom I presume is someone really close to Basara and her XD and Yuuki's armor was rather nice.

Basara came to their rescue T.T and so the bad guy has been defeated...

Maria's crying face :3

Freaking hell... Basara was stabbed by a demon from behind and Mio's powers went berserk...

LOL, he could probably survive getting his heart ripped out, a bullet to the brain XD and other fatatl injuries for the sake of his beloved sisters...

Meh, of course, it was freaking obvious that Takigawa was the masked demon guy and it seems that the demon that stabbed Basara missed his vitals on purpose.

A demon called Zolgia seems to be the one that killed Mio's foster parents since he couldn't wait any longer eh.

Nice ep. So was this the end of vol1? 4 eps for a volume? No wonder it's better than the other harems this season. Basara is really an awesome MC. Loving this guy ^^ What a caring Onii-chan :3

He even noticed the real identity of Masked Sugita XD I hope he can stay on Basara's side for now. I like Takigawa ^^

How the hell did Basara just stand after getting stabbed like that O_o? Didn't hit my vitals my ass!

Dat Loli falcon punch Maria did though XD

And Yuuki has a dialect? Nice :3

Animation was quite nice in some scenes. Good so far ^^

Glad i am not the only one who noticed that.....

This series really has potential... it has a very nice mix of Action with the harem Comedy kind of like DXD... Altough i kind of think this show is a rip off of that said series.. due to a lot of similarities..

Does anyone have a clue how this series is doing in japan so far... Cause i really hope it is doing alright cause it is definitely the best new harem show to come out recently..

Could it be that Basara's dad was the one who went amuck when he held that sword and cause mayhem in their village?

Average episode, as usual. The fanservice in this show is a double-edged sword: if they go full fanservice, it drags the plot. If they ditch the fanservice, you get the plot but remember it's shitty and generic.

Oh well, I'm just here for Maria, anyway.

Two backstabs and saves the night twice. Kind of corny when Basara saved Mio at end. But Basara kind of reminds of Touma from Index. Imagine Breaker in sword form :o

First 12 minutes were okay... then the "oh my god my power is out of control" nearly killed the episode for me... and then Basara connects the dots... overall I found it okay... I guess.

Great episode, Basara showed some very appellative powers, and was also shown a bit of his past with Yuki, he has also already has a name for the revenge of Mio, but this guy has no easy life

Mio begins to awaken his powers, but she is still weak, but I hopefully a few more scenes ecchi appear in the next episode, and that the development of the story becomes even better ..

We all knew who the masked guy was but that Basara did as well was a nice surprise, I just wish he didn't have such obvious plot armor. Mio's power going out of control was a bit forced as well (OK, a lot forced) but it's not been that bad a series so far, that one scene not withstanding.

So this guy gets impaled through his abdomen while recovering from grave injuries, then gets back up like nothing happened, and pulls off a perfect Banishing Shift when he's never been able to do it before, saving the world in the process.

Looks like someone's god hacking the game of life. Am I missing something here?

Pacing's a little fast, and the part where he saves Mio from going out of control is especially implausible with basically no setup. But still, Shinmai's looking like the better of the harem trio we have this season (Absolute Duo, World Break being the other 2).

The fight was pretty nice with Basara showing some of his true colours with the potential to eradicate everything.

A short glimpse of his past and being able to control it now. Knowing that Jin is a badass too seems pretty cool!

Getting a mutual agreement with Takigawa at the end.

Pretty good episode yet again this week both action and story wise

Seeing more of Basara's past was pretty awesome, I think that he might be my favorite ecchi male MC next to Issei from DxD now.

I kinda want Mio to fully master her hidden power so I hope that Basara didn't like destroy it forever or something....It would be pretty badass if she could fight kind of on par with him and Yuuki (Who was pretty great herself in this episode)

I think we all guessed that Basara's friend was that masked dude so that wasn't a surprise, but how they sorted things out was interesting

The final scene with the dad really peaked my interest tho.....I wonder what his deal is and what he is doing as well as what he meant by "Basara's their child and mine"

Lots of action this episode.

Lots of sub-plots I really cant wait to see fleshed out.
- Lots of stuff about Basara's past we still haven't seen fully developed. Him slaughtering the hero clan and stuff they mentioned before.
- Now we know who killed Mio's parents so that's now kind of the big thing. Whoever this Zolgia guy is he's probably gonna be a bastard.
- Need to know who Jin was talking to and what that person's role is going to be. And what Jin's role is going to be. Right now he's just venturing into weird ass places. (If he was talking to a character that was already introduced, I'm going to assume it was the nurse, if it's a new character then...yeah)
- I assume we'll have a Maria flashback episode at some point to, just because.

They turned off the fanservice for this episode. and i am TOTALLY okay with that.
The plot is actually rather interesting if still a bit cliche.

I think it's a good thing (and to be expected) that in a series where the ecchi levels are so high overall, they will take breaks from the fanservice to have purely story oriented episodes. Allows for the story to progress without the relentless barrage of lewdness.

This. I'm pleasantly surprised to have 1) this revealed so soon and 2) MC being the one that reveals it. Both are rare, and bode decently for future developments.
That scene with Jin in a location that gives definite demon world vibes is also quite intriguing.

And Yuuki also gets props this ep - especially for managing to go through the whole fight without any loss of clothing. In an ecchi series, that's got to take some serious skills.
