Bah... It was a meh episode. Seems like this anime is losing momentum, at least for me.

But at least one thing is good for me...

CECILIA IS NOT A TSUNDERE!

YES! This means I can love her as much as I want without feeling bad about it! Meaning if she was a tsundere, I'd pretty much be feeling tsundere for her as well. >_>

Rin is such a tiny cutie. Love how all the other girls are jealous and are spying on the whole situation. =P

Really nice to see the way it turned out with his entrance exam. All of this happened because he got lost on his way there! Lucky bastard! Three girls in a catfight over him and of course he's too clueless to notice. Figures. >.<

Wait for it... wait for it... ah, there it is! What would a grade school childhood friend be without a "remember our promise?". -_-
Of course he doesn't understand it, he's a clueless harem lead after all. Now both girls hate him for it! xD

What's with the cliffhanger? We all know he's gonna lose anyway!

Nice episode though. =P

So bland and generic. Yet it's fun to watch.
Also, why are the girls wearing school swimsuits when there's no pool? :3

I like that some of the characters are from other countries. Also who wears a kimono in this day and age? Actually when you watch an anime,some of the characters in modern settings wear clothes that are out of date.

I can't even count how many facepalms I did in this episode because of Cecilia.
I headdesk-ed once, when the Ichika-butt appeared.

Lin Yin is a nice character. Genki tsundere mysterious girl? LIKE.
She's been conquered but according to the ED, not yet...
Hoping for great battle scenes next episode.

Pssh, you clearly don't know awesome fanservice when you see it. Nothing is better then the Masou Shoujo Ayumu in Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka! Nothing I tell you!

As for this... I'm going to be annoyed in Fan wins, we need our male lead to at least get some form of victory under his belt. And I must admit, I really don't care for Fan very much, something about her just rubs me the wrong way.

Anyways, hoping for more awesome fight scenes next week!

So Cecilia already crazy about our hero. How could it be otherwise.
There was another girl (Cuuute), Ichika probably promised that he would marry her... It's all a little weak.

Hmmm I was wondering when that happens.

Strange that they are so late.

An enjoyable episode, nothing really special about it, but enjoyable. I hope the series doesn't become a lot more serious, I'd prefer if it stays the simple school harem type series.

Even though this episode was generic as hell, I couldn't help but smile and laugh the whole time X3

Im liking the new girl Rin, maybe even better than Houki. Now we have two tsunderes in the show and both are childhood friends of Ichika. Lucky bastard :3

I am even more annoyed with the male lead as i was last week how can he be so incredibly stupid.
His lack of intelligence and common knowledge is just frustrating to watch.
He really deserved that slap from Rin and i feel sorry for that girl that she had to fall for such a guy, he doesn't even understand such a easy hint.

This episode was fine tho.
I liked watching Cecilia and Houki fighting with each other, tho the change in Cecilia is a bit to much.
Letting the male lead become class representative wasn't a good move fro Cecilia and i am surprised there aren't more people objecting to it, his lack of knowledge could become a real problem in such a position.

The new girl seemed interesting, tho a bit of a show off.
And i wonder what the fight will look like next week i hope she beats some sense into the male lead so he finally starts using his brain.

Houki looked great in that without her tail, and in her training outfit.

It was an ok episode, not exactly what I was waiting for but it was not bad either. At least Cecilia got off her high pedestal, I did not like her attitude in the first episode. I'm still not sure on my feelings about this turning into a harem, especially with this guy that is totally dense.

It is already a harem. I think this is a textbook example of the harem, a silly boy and a group (full school) of girls. Most likely at the end of the series he realizes... something like "Wait, you're like me? why did not you tell?"

Another Childhood friend appears. As far as it is atm, it's going further into the harem genre, with a small amount of mecha.

I think the show will be shifting every episode from mecha to harem then back to mecha and so on.

I was really surprised that Cecilia suddenly changed her personality. >.<

Rin is really likeable but still something's lacking. :/

Her IS really reminded me of Gurren from CG due to the colors.

Also, the girls are getting hotter. :D

I hope the next mecha fight is going to be good.

People keep complaining about how dense Ichika is...thats the only way that this Harem will work. Otherwise we will get another School Days moment where he realizes the girls like him, and becomes a man whore. Ichika is not a pushover, he's just naive...but can you blame him?

He's surrounded by a whole school of girls ready to fuck him, and the main girls who truly love him would NEVER let him sleep at night if he chose one of the others. Jealousy is a bitch, and it can kill you( ain't that right makoto)

One really nice plot device would be if we found out he really does know the girls like him, but chooses to act dense to keep himself out of trouble.

This looks like a rehash of all the cliches from a harem anime.

...and the reviews on this were so harsh lol but I do know where they are coming from. Still couldn't get used to the type of mecha in this anime (seriously, they should have made it a full body mech) and the main character is another meh but I'm still gonna watch this for the battles.

WTF happened to Cecelia Alcott? Did she fall and bump her head? She's turned into a new kind of annoying chick!!
I don't like Fan Rinin. I find her to be annoying.
The only thing that's keeping me interested is the IS machines.
However, that doesn't seem to be enough to keep me from dropping this show.
I hate shows with bitchy, whiny, girls that only know how to scream and hit instead of saying what's really on their minds. I also hate shows with wimpy male leads that listen to the screams and take the hits without screaming or hitting back. I'll give this show 2 more eps and then it's a drop if it doesn't improve.

I fell in love with Cecilia this episode, which is odd since i despised her previously. Love her new attitude towards the main character.

I disliked the new girl, she just seems like an unneeded extra to me. This show is still just a collection of clichés, some moments are enjoyable but others are just plain bad to watch.

6.5/10 for this episode, best episode out of the 3.

Oh Cecilia isn't annoying and turned all dere this episode, good. I like her that way. Rin isn't half bad too, still i'd say Houki > rest.
This school life shit is pretty enjoyable, hope i won't get too much fights later.

I still don't like Cecilia. That is just a fact i can't change; i just hate her type of character. I like Houki but the tsundere attitude in hindsight is annoying. Rin is awesome.

According to Keima's principles of childhood friends Rin is ahead since she has a promise too. Go go second childhood friend faction!

Edit: wait, how did he regress during that practice? Was he not able to have godly control of the IS in his match? Also, dense male lead is annoying even if this is suppose to be a harem.

Totally agree with this. Seriously, characters like Ichika are the worst - and then he's surrounded by a bunch of other unlikeble characters. Why is he so damn clueless? Why does he just take all this without saying anything in his defense? (In case it isn't obvious, these are rhetorical questions)

Rin isn't as bad as I thought she'd be, but she's still annoying and will probably get worse. Alcott is just a tool, and Houki is your typical tsunderes. Honestly, I probably wouldn't dislike any of these character if it was just ONE of them, but they had to go and throw them all together making a harem of bitches.

And really, he got LOST? Are you kidding me? He gets lost in the new building and decided to go in the room that says: "Unauthorized - Trespassing Prohibited." Just how much more retarded can we get here? Surely they could have come up with something better than that.

The mech fights aren't bad, which is why I'm watching this. So hopefully I can just learn to put up with this show's many down points.

The whole every girl around the protagonist is in love with him, but he is clueless is getting extremely old in amine series.

Other then the machine fights , there is nothing good about the show. All the characters are annoying, but ill probably watch the series till the end for the fights.

That was a horrible cliffhanger in my opinion. It makes you want more obviously, but yeah, not among the better of cliffhangers I've experienced. xD;

I was really looking forward to this at first, but I really didn't expect it to be a harem anime even though it should've been obvious with the setting an all that. I dunno, seemed like this episode was a pretty big disappointment to me. Hoping that it gets better with episode 4. :U

Actually, this part made me laugh. First I facepalmed for the same reason you said, then I realized that this kind of ridiculous plot fits the show perfectly.

Unfortunately this was the only fun part for me. The show was stupid but enjoying at the beginning; now it lost the "enjoying" part of that...
