It was interesting how Kotori called her brother onii-chan for the first time in commander mode. This was when she seriously felt he was in danger before going into the blizzard.

It was her first dere moment in commander mode. The next episode might have some more, if my eyes didn't deceive me during the previews.

And 5/5 for the episode.

Looks like the next episode will be more filler-like but the one after it should be about the clock-eye-red-dress-girl (yes, that's a perfectly valid description). So far it's still
1. Tohka
2. Yoshino
3. Origami

Yeah, I've got to chime in here and say that Yoshino is just so damn cute <3. I really want to read the light novels, since I know they are really rushing this series.

I'm only watching this show because of the Princess a.k.a Tohka and Toobi something forgot her name fawning over the bastard, Shidou. Everything's just a mess and a nuisance. The whole AST thingy and commander something makes the show even more shitty.

Apart from that, I'd only like to see Shidou and Tohka. Nothing More, Nothing Less. Yoshino is alright but meh. I don't like her that much.

Wow, they sure ended Yoshino's arc with just two episodes. The anime's pacing was horrid and lacked so much details of the Light Novel. I still prefer the Light Novel.

Yoshino was so adorable.

This episode was very good. Yoshino lost her puppet named Yoshinon and Shido helped her to find the puppet.

I loved Origami in her maid outfit, it was cute.

Good scene between Yoshino and Shido at the end.


You cant expect an anime to have all the details of a LN you know.. Especially if its only 12 episodes total

Ave you ever seen a movie have all the details of a book?

Look at harry potter a lot was missing but the movie was great nevertless

All you guys keep mentioning the LN come on.. Stop it already

His harem isn't big enough yet, it's time for Shido to capture even more spirits and become the badass of the universe. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Isn't it pretty common in shounen anime? Normal boy with Harem?

But this closest to TWGOK, everytime I watch it it's remind me of TWGOK

First half was boring, second half more of the same as the other episodes, without the comedy, standard loli lost it's touch many seasons ago. Hopefully the next spirit is at least enjoyable to watch.

How to get arrested : be found in the middle of nowhere kissing a naked little girl.

Shido is a real pimp xD

As I thought, the misunderstanding lasted an whole episode. Godamnit Shido, you could have talked to Tohka through the door of her room or whatever...

Origami is a real crazy yandere... She have some of those creepy expression :P

And there goes Yoshino's arc. It was done incredibly fast but I can't say I'm sad as I wasn't too invested into it. Yoshino is fine though without Yoshinon...

Tohka was cute though, dealing with her feelings of jealousy!

Origami was Origami again.

Looks like they will all be living in a house now! Go, Shidou, gotta catch'em all!

Drama? Not really, just return to the kid it's toy. Yoshino is cute but I don't care about her much. Kiss scene was lame. So when shit really gets down Kotori is no use. Highlight of this episode was Origami who wanted to get it on with Shidou.

MC only can concentrate on one character in a character specific episode. Honestly, if he used common sense he could have talked with Tooka and resolve her anxiety. -_-'

So he can't die. Explanation, when?
