The only thing great about this episode was the surprise of my favorite seiyuu, Jun Fukuyama, being the bishie-evil-brother-antagonist-monocle guy Hinata :)

LELOUCH! He should have voiced Taito. <3

How did Taito survive?? Did I miss something?

FukuJun voicing Taito would've been bad. It would've been fine if he voiced Gekkou, but Taito's character is just completely wrong for FukuJun. It would just be plain odd.

And no, you didn't really miss anything. It's just that they didn't explain anything yet.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

I enjoyed the second episode even more than the first! I hope they explain how Taito's still alive despite dying for the seventh time. Maybe Himea gave up some of her own immortality to give him a "1-up". I'm sure we'll find out next week.

The animation is gorgeous, probably the best on TV right now. The plot and characters are all derivative as hell--Gekkou is Haruhi crossed with Sasuke--but it's fun and it's pretty, and there's cute catgirl fanservice. What's not to love?

4.5/5

Haven't noticed any censoring in the second episode, but there were two sunbeam occurrences in the first one though.

Anyway.
I'm tempted to rewatch these two episodes in order to count the number of times they say "Taito!" or "Himeaaa". :D
Like someone said on the first page, I feel sad for Haruka as she doen't stand a chance against Himea. Look at her on the series' MAL page, they even (partially) put her in the upper right corner of the picture, looking away and sad. She looks like a really sweet girl, and her support over all those years will go to naught because of Taito's summer crush of 9 years ago. I mean, I like Himea, but yeah... :(

About Himea, why didn't she fight against Hinata? She just sat there, looking at how Taito got beaten up. She's supposed to be the stronger one, isn't she?
What I'm also wondering is how old she actually is? She can manipulate her body to look younger or older, so I doubt she was only six at the time. Does that make her a shotacon? 8D
Taito's one of those guys that swear to protect the girl while she could stand her own ground. Stop trying to act all cool and macho, dude, you're the weak one here, you only got that power 5 minutes ago.

Beams up to the sky, magic circles everywhere... and no one saw it besides them. :') I do hope we'll get an explanation about Taito's mysterious survival though. I bet Himea sacrificed her powers so he could live!

Oh, and I love the girls' hair!

Feels like a textbook shonen, but I like how colorful it is. I wonder how far I'll make it on that.

Thanks to the previous posts that explain why he's still alive. Also, will it be explained later why it's specifically 6 extra lives with in a 15 min period? It's just bugging me a bit.

I thought I was watching Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch cause Taiko sounds like Kaito.. and it's repeated many many times.

Got Milk?

Wow, I'm impressed with how close the anime adapted much of the same events (mostly, the fights) that happened in the manga's chapter 6, 7 and 8, even chapter 8's epilogue! (Yes, episode 2 of the anime is already equivalent to chapter 6, 7 and 8 in the manga) Granted, I haven't read the light novel, but to me it felt as if many of the events in the manga came to life with the anime's adaptation. Both the manga and the anime felt really rushed, though.

Like in the manga, it wasn't exactly shown how Taito came back to life. The only thing I know for sure, is that he did not revive due to his power, but due to something else. As for that, I don't know exactly how. Most likely, it will be explained in later episodes and chapters. Only the light novel readers would know for sure.

Also, they cut out the parts where after the fight with Hinata, how the four of them (including Taito's burnt body) became allies under Gekkou's leadership, the scene where the homeroom teacher introduced Himea to the class and when Mirai barged into the classroom before Gekkou appeared in front of Taito. Not very important scenes, I know, but it wouldn't have hurt to see those animated too. (Then again, those scenes might not have happened in the original LN) For the parts they did animate, they did great.

taito is actually a bad@$$, doesnt take shit from ppl, and actually likes his situation, though he is aware of the "risks" involved in it

This sure was a great episode, nice development already in the second episode and the first villain seems to be defeated! Now Himea entered his school so this can get rather interesting!

The pace sure has been improved and sure love the current setting!
