I like how Ayato won against Kirin by boob-groping her in the final match. Does that even happen in the LN?

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.


I think they were just drying their clothes. :>

An episode dedicated to the best girl? Hnghhh... kawaii~ But that means best girl's screen time will be less after her arc is over T_T

Kirin is one of a few big boobed girls that I like, only other than Sena. She's cute and cool and lovable in every way!

Kirin x Ayato... on first name basis lol. She's too goddamn cute! Anyone saying her voice is annoying are crazy! That is like saying the best monster girl, Papi, have an annoying voice!

More Kirin please! Also damn... that end credit scene.. A saya and Kirin team up.

Claudia becoming more scary throughout the episodes. First she put fear into the uncle.. then the preview shows her "keikaku doori" evil smile.

Is great to see Kirin finally stand up to her uncle and I love the way she stop his punches. She should definitely team up Saya since both if them have the same goal. The duel was nice and the fight scene was well animated. Hopefully the next episode Saya gets more screen time and hopefully I learn more about Ayato's sister.

Ayato palm smashed Kirin's badge..........you can see it breaking a few seconds later. Well the badge is located on their chest so...........

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.


Genestealla were treated rather harshly during that time and were seen as monsters by normal people. The laws and judgement about Genestella attacking/hurting normal people were rather harsh and unfair as well. The situation is better now but the rules are still there as seen from what the Asshole uncle was saying.

Well just think about how the mutants were treated in X-Men despite most of them not doing anything wrong other than being different and stronger.

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.


Pretty much this. I too remember that he vaporized the entire plesiosaur in the LN, and was disappointed that they ended up making that fight less exciting than it was suppose to be in the novel. The way and length of time they were expositing in the water would make you think that they didn't really care that the creature was circling around them to attack, and took a lot of tension out from that, which wasn't true at all.

The second fight was also a bit disappointing. I understand and appreciate the need for them to introduce Kirin's techniques, but doing it all by standing around mid-battle really took away from the excitement of the match. I'd much rather she threw out a few sentences and Ayato would have then had an inner monologue about the rest WHILST FIGHTING. That would have made things so much more exciting and interesting.

For those hating on the uncle, don't be too hard on him. He's just jealous that his brother and niece got the good genes and became Genestella, whilst he's stuck being a normal-ass human. Sorry little jealous prick, he is. :P

That said, as expected they couldn't cram so little content into four episodes, so they rushed this one a bit to finish volume 2 in 3 eps instead. It's a pretty good call, though it cuts away from some of the more important stuff, like Ayato reminding Julis at the end (who was kinda pissed he accepted Kirin's duel request) that he's now Ranked number 1 (like he planned it all out beforehand) instead of an unranked participant, and that their combined seedings in the Phoenix just went up tenfold because of it.

The scenes at the very end with Saya asking Kirin to team up and of course the nasty little intro of Ardi and Rimsi just whet my appetite for the Phoenix even more.

Cannot wait till next week for it to start!

So shy girl also ends up by falling in love with main guy.
Shy Girl rebels against the autority of her uncle.
And loli girl teams up with her because the two of them fight for their father.

The two girls of Allekant really do plot something though.

Kirin finally stood up for herself and now she is free from her uncle's reign.

The fight between Kirin and Ayato was really good surprisingly especially when Ayato used the grappling style technique. I did not see that coming in this anime. It is really nice to see characters in a weapon based fighting anime not afraid to use hand to hand combat when necessary.

~Great episode!!!

Episode that has some flaws, but in principle I consider good overall. Much of the credit goes to what happens at the end, I mean the fight, not the scene set up by the tutor of Kirin where Ayato takes the ball and poses as cool, which ones I did not like. The plot moves forward but it seems rather silly that nobody knows what is happening, let me hesitant. Drawings and animations good, but I expect a lot more still by Studio A1 Pictures.

It's actually the right thing to take off the clothes if you are soaking wet, and you have to survive. You would freeze faster with them.

Sure, Kirin has some knockers for a "loli", but She is one of the few characters whom I harbor mixed feelings (Positive & Negative). Also, we have witnessed how Ayato is a Badass, but still a little coward with his Harem.

Preview for the next episode is out........looks like the start of volume 3 with mostly Anime Original scenes consisting of loli fan service and pool episode. I hope they actually put some of the information (i.e. Julis's reason for having several techniques or importance of Page One in Festa elimination round) they cut out from volume 2 instead of filling the episode with pointless fanservice.

No, Ayato finished the match with his elbow in the novel. Most likely the anime staffs considered that as too cruel for the loli. Thus, a palm strike instead of an elbow one.

My mistake. But from that position, a palm strike makes sense as well.

The grappling and smash were cruel enough though......
