Not much really going on this episode but Taito and Himea get a little closer and Haruka is hurting especially after Himea asked Taito to take her on a date right in front of her. New teacher guy looks interesting.

This episode was way too much Himea x Taito lovey-dove BS that do not want! What I did like is Gekkou’s face in the following,

How can you like not like that face? It’s so EPIC in expression of shock. Gekkou’s face in the spoiler
were amazing all around. I like him a lot so it’s no surprise. It was lovely that he decides to save Andou from the bad boys and Gekkou’s sword is amazing!

I loved Andou’s MOE in the following,

As well as all of them in the spoiler
Andou was just over MOE! Broke the MOE meter half way in the episode. It was too much. I find that Andou’s fan service in the spoiler
continues to be panties and so fine but eventually it should evolve a little.

  • Cross Philier Yuuichi’s intro in the spoiler
    was quite nice. I would like to see his powers and what he can do but he does resemble to Hinata a little.

  • Totally loved the MOE of Izumi Aomi in the spoiler
    and it seems that she saw Cross here kissing a door? Strange one that Cross is.

  • I was totally :( at Haruka in the spoiler
    I know it might be her totally but that expression is killer. That’s apart from the stupid shit Taito did in front of her with Himea.
As of this episode I can say that I can definitely see Himea as being a problem towards Haruka. That date with that ED showed just a further relationship development and that is problematic for Haruka. I just hope she steals a kiss from Taito in Himea’s face to depress her. Muhahahahaha! *evil face*

The classmates freezing up when Himea showed up was exactly what I did do. Poor Haruka, she deserves some loving too.

Suddenly, the amount of relevant characters increased two-fold. And while on the subject, Horikawa Chika is kinda good, actually.
And even Mirai is starting to grow on me. One of the few nutcase lolis that I don't hate. Good job, Kagami-sensei! And okay, fine, good job to you too, Zexcs. ( ¬‿¬)

And I gotta say, I love Himea's timing and her hair.
Better yet would've been if she came prancing in the very moment he was about to put the food in his mouth.

Cross Philier Yuuichi's pose. ( ¬‿¬)
Like, seriously. Dat pose.
Speaking of poses and stuff, Gekkou's face when he failed at grabbing the Zhang Fei doll thingy.
Ahaha.wav
38 times. You better remember that, Gekkou.


Well, anyway. I'm enjoying this. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌
Oh, what's this? They used this ED again? Good thing it isn't the crappy Mirai-ED at least.

im sorry but she is delusional. does she not have even the slightest idea that he might be interested in someone else. or better yet, she could go ahead and confess rather than wallow in her own pity. sure she got the short end of the stick but taito hasn't done anything wrong at this point.

Gosh, I want punch Gekkou every single time I see his atrocious face.
Annyway, nice to see Taito and Himea getting together and Haruka wallowing in self pity. I also really don't see why the whole class gangs up on Taito when Haruka makes him boxed lunches. They should mind their own fucking business.
This show is so infuriating to watch sometimes.

For a moment in that episode, I really Taito and Himea end up together since most of his classmates wants Taito and Haruka to be a couple.
She must be that desperate to be Taito's girlfriend since she's always making so much food for him.

Does Haruka think making Taito morbidly obese will win her his heart? :P "Try a five-box lunch next time!" Gah, even if he wasn't interested in her, he'd be too full to waddle away after that ;p

I'm kinda torn with Haruka v Himea. Clearly the producers are only really interested in giving us the latter ... in a supernatural romance, she's the romantic lead. Yet they keep insisting on tormenting poor Haruka until she snaps. I'm becoming more and more sure that the golden-eyed entity inside of her is Lilith, leading to an ultimate confrontation with Himea at or near the end.

On the other hand, Haruka is really stretching this out too long. Surely she recognizes Himea is the competition ... she asked out Taito right in front of her! She needs to either confess to him (which, had she done so in the first episode instead of just teasing him about it, might have changed the dynamics significantly), or get over it. One thing's for sure, no matter how much his classmates want it to, making him eat her lunch isn't cutting it.

Anyway, a boring episode overall. The girls running around yelling "Date-o, date-o!" was kinda cute at first, rapidly declining into 'frikkin annoying'. Was kinda amused by Gekkou epic failing at the claw game and kareoke ... those claw games are real bitches tho.

Last week was way better ... I have a feeling this ep may have been to appease the (non-lesbian) female fans who actually stuck around after Himea being totally nude the last episode or two.

Himea is still annoying. he almost ignores Haruka is there now that Himea is here.

I also preferred Kazumi and Siesta but that's a different story. Rie Kugi and her loli character sare blah.

Can I hit Mirai with a baseball bat even though I don't own one? Gosh, she and Gekkou are such an annoying combo.
And Taito isn't really that bright is he? The bad guys will win simply because they have supernatural powers not because of physical strength.
And I am not going to bitch about the whole obsessive one sided romance again. The girls should watch some soap opera and learn for the love of god.

And why did I feel a bit sympathy for Himea at the end? Like why? I hate myself for being all touchy-wouchy from time to time.

I'm starting to feel really bad for Haruka..and now that I've read bits and pieces of peoples opinions around the net, yeah, Himea is REALLY getting on my 2 last nerves with all her friggen TAITO TAITO TAITO tears tears tears bullshit.

For me, Haruka x100 > Himea. Himea's just an annoying, clingy whiny brat.

If you don't like her that much, then don't force yourself to watch her whenever she comes up. No need to get heated over it.

In all honesty though, do you really understand why she does the things that she does? Anime-wise, you'll likely not get any kind of a comprehensive understanding with respect to Himea, as a start I should say. She's hardly the only victim of such.

Well, when all's said and done, you're free to dislike her or any other character as much as you want, but you should really try to learn more about them first. If nothing else, it'll save you a good bit of annoyance later on.

I just can't stand how she is with Taito... asking him on a date was okay with me because she isn't aware of Haruka. But pouting and whining are totally unnecesarry just because he doesn't jump to say yes immediatly; honestly Hinata and Haruka are the only characters I like at all.

Woah was that Haruka in the beginning or that new girl Aomi? I can't tell really.

Thought it was a very entertaining episode. Especially with Andou and Gekkou going on a "date". That new teacher is pretty freaky too. I wonder what his plans are.

Looking forward to next episode.

^_^ I kinda liked the little interactions with Mirai and Gekkou on their date, I think they're cute together... -_-' But Mirai can be a bit TOO moe somtimes, I admit. Gekkou is definitely my favorite though, he's a cool guy.

0_0 But 38 times failing at a claw machine? Man, that's just sad, even for me. I don't think I'M even that bad at it. Poor genius man... XD

And Himea... Well, she's been on my bad side since the whole "Taito, make love to me" thing back in episode 4. That just creeped me out.

I'm actually on the side of Haruka and Taito because for starters, Haruka hasn't begun to bug me yet. And I think her making food for him is rather... adorable. Himea is a cute girl and all, but GOD, she is beginning to piss me off by jumping into everything. And Taito is an IDIOT for not at least acknowledging Haruka.

Hopefully next week is better.

I don't know about other people, but I enjoyed this episode simply because I found most of it to be hilarious, especially Gekkou's date little mission in the city with Mirai. It's refreshing to see one breather episode where their lives aren't in imminent danger yet again and thus have to fight a new enemy who just popped up. Lots of interesting new characters. Also, I didn't know Taito had an imouto.
