That was lewd
Well, I think by anime logic, warming up by going half naked is obvious right?

Damn it, I hate Kirin's uncle still.
His reactions this episode was annoying to watch especially with his ridiculous scolding. About time Kirin finally got her thoughts out though. The fight was so-so, wasn't really impressive but not too shabby either.

Good for Kirin to finally have a little freedom from her Uncle's grasp. I understand why she thanks him for what he did for her, but it's impossible for me to like him when he did all that for selfish reasons.

Saya/Kirin team up? Not really surprising. So we're going to have the slow powerhouse and the quick swordsmen eh... polar opposites but it could work out well. Btw, is it just me but do they look very similar to each other?

Well I'm glad Kirin showed backbone against her uncle. Of course, I'm far moreso glad she showed off her big beautiful tits in that bra...twice. :D Well that aside hopw we get more attention back on Julis soon.

Ayato become the Rank 1 of the school~ It sounds so easy to be a rank 1 lolz.

Seems like with all the data collection, those 2 Allekant puppets are ready for the Festa. Anyone notice the puppets one of them is human-like and other is robot-like. Really like the Allekant girl, active cute and a bit evil.

Kirin and Saya team up for the festa also. Is the Festa finally starting?

Kirin's body tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Besides that, I'm really glad that she finally decided to stand up to her uncle and found her own path using her own strength and determination and seeing how even in the end she was still respectable to her uncle made me smile a lot

Her fight with Ayato was pretty cool as well and man Ayato is showing that he's pretty good with just about every type of blade there is =o I was kinda bummed out that he beat her but at the end of the day, it makes a lot of sense how he won too so I'm fine with it

Wonder how long it's gonna take for Saya to ask Kirin to team up.....Also those weapon things that those two girls from the other school has left me quite intrigued

Holy Shit Dat Kirin body :L

Loved how she resisted her uncle. Esp how she stopped his punch. Loving her a lot more now that she has a back bone. Also asking to call Ayato by first name and wanting to be called by first name too was nice to see.

Saya and her should make a good team.

Kirin proves to be more entertaining every time (if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)). Luckily it didn't take long for Kirin to develop into a more independent character. So it's Kirin and Saya for that Festival, huh?

Well a good episode despite being a bit rushed. The fight at the start was underwhelming and a bit too simple. Ayato was supposed to entirely vaporize the the big monster(they could have made it a bit more intimidating though) like the LN instead of cutting it in half as the core was moving around. Well at least they showed Ayato can't use meteo arts normally and using those high prana techniques shortens his time quite a bit.

The 2nd fight was done well even though it was a bit short (well Ayato himself is short on time too). But that spear, kodachi and CQC techniques one after another was pretty awesome. I wish it was longer but considering they rushed the 2nd volume a bit (3 episodes) and still managed to get in most of the important stuff, it was well adapted. Sadly they cut out Julis patting Ayato on the head after his victory. I hope they tone down the Kirin fanservice though.......well there isn't much canon fanservice in the next volumes (maybe 1 or 2 scenes per volume) so i can't exactly blame them either.

Well volume 3 starts from next episode and the tournament would probably start from the one after the next episode. I hope they extend the fights a bit though. The fights till now were good but they were a bit short.

It is quite obviously the correct choice because both were soaked (it is in the LN too).

There were some other changes such as him commenting on the ballast area instead
of her (which doesn't really make sense because she's the one familiar with the
school/island), and so on.

Finally liberated from her uncle, and he got scared by Claudia xD

but I really hate those two girls at that other school constantly sending crap to Ayato. It's so irritating how it's all for the sake of testing, and now two mechas are the top of the line...I hope Ayato wipes the floor with them.

Why are guys in harem anime so lame? Do most guys usually panic at the sight of a girl in her underwear?

I like the little piano melody that plays in some scenes. It sounds familiar.

The way Toudou stopped her uncle's punch was nice. It was predictable when Ayato ended up doing the same thing though.

Nice episode.

Dat Kirin fanservice... *drool* GOD what's wrong with me? She's freakin' 13!

Kirin's uncle just got NTR'd. That's what he get for being a jerk. Ayato should just punch him right there tbh

Welp, that was easy for Ayato being a #1 in school. It seems like Kirin didn't even gave her all in that battle! Anticlimatic battle indeed. Seeing Kirin got beaten by martial arts was quite a treat though.
Now that this is over, Saya being relevant when....?

I seriously don't get why people fail to notice the fact that "Genestella hurting normal humans is a serious issue" especially after hearing Kirin's backstory.

- He did beat the Rank 1 student......that's how the ranking system works
- Kirin went all out......if you think she didn't then you are just overestimating her

She was defeated by a surprise element/tactic, Ayato says latter that he is not confident if he can defeat her again.

Kirin and that jailbait body of hers......DAYUM! O_O

Overall, this episode was really good and enjoyable. The situation Kirin and Ayato were in with the monster helped to bond the two of them together more and also gave Kirin the courage and backbone to step up to her uncle and tell him where to go.

The second duel between the two was great, albeit on the short side. Kirin's techniques are formidable, however she wasn't expecting Ayato to switch his weapon style from sword, spear and duel blades before baiting her into a physical grab and take-down.

It's also interesting to see Saya ask Kirin to team up with her. I have a good feeling that she'll accept Saya's offer.

The ending were they showed the two mechs being powered by girls, i'm wondering if one of them is Ayatos sister. It's only a feeling and i don't know why, but i really feel like his sister is somehow connected to everything. Probably because of episode 1, and her existence has been covered up.

That's taking into account the 5 minute time limit and we know Ayato is quite humble. Besides you also know how handicapped Ayato is at this point.

But Kirin did went all out as this was a fight she could not afford to take easy.

Just to point it out there, it wouldn't really be harem if they guy was good with girls. 95% of harem the guy is just clueless or can't choose, that's harem for you.

Well it was nice to see Kirin stand up to her uncle, and it was pretty funny to see Claudia shut him the fuck down.

The fight between Kirin and Ayato was decent, it was kind of cool to see Ayato use wits and cunning to beat her after making her think she was going to win. And now he's rank 1.

Saya and Kirin are teaming up? That looks like it could be interesting.

I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet, but we found out that Ayato has dueled his sister. That has major implications for the state of their relationship and his powers.

Given what Saya said about his sister being far more powerful, that makes me all the more interested in who defeated her back in episode one.

I think that the episodes have been really good so far. I've been enjoying the character development, even with the fact that they have focused almost two whole episodes on Kirin.

I'm mostly curious about the plans that Claudia has. In the end of the episode, she says that she wants Sasamiya & Kirin to team up.. Something will unfold soon and I can't wait!

This series will definitely be my pillow throughout New Year! ^w^

Whoa. Ayato actually beat Kirin? Didn't expect that, though he definitely deserved to win if judging by creativity alone, since that tackle move was pretty good.

Well, there goes the trash dad-figure. I just knew Kirin would be teamed up with Saya as soon as I heard about her goal.

4/5

Can't get enough of the ending, it's really soothing and kinda ethereal.

First things first...DAMN KIRINS BODY! lol but yea after that interesting back story for her which in my opinion doesnt make sense...like idc if he is a genestia, he shouldnt be charged just because of that since he was protecting his daughter...I feel being a genestia doesnt change self defense. That fight after tho was awesome, was cool to see how good Ayato is beating Kirin and becoming the #1 student by smart surprise tactics and flexibility with multiple different weapons! Cant wait to see how well they all do against the girls from the other school's new puppets!
