I wonder what this "White Stuff" that the Tower Witches are talking about.

So, Kagari had created a "Torture Research Club", that was so unexpected.

So far I consider this good anime. Ending is epic. Also, I consider it great substitute for previous season's Machine-doll.
Rationally assesed, it's a lighthearted school comedy with supernatural elements, nothing special, but it's quite enjoyable to watch nevertheless (as I usually hate fanservice, just like in Machine-doll it's brought out to make anime better, which is rather for me a newfound property of those two recent anime, as previos anime of such category were not enhanced with fanservice in that aspect).

This would be a contender for anime of the season if it weren't for Space Dandy. This episode was an improvement on the last one, which was already awesome, and I can't wait for the next oneee.

Because in contrast to Nobunaga this series is decent or at least watchable? That must be it.

Least intimidating group of villains since Yatterman - but between them going on karaoke, acting like idiots I must say I really enjoy this.

Are you fucking serious? NTF is like the 2nd worst show this season after Z/X Ignition.. yes I rate it even lower than that garbage ImoCho.

This anime ending song is by far the most epic this season. That bobbing chiby heads got me every time.

I love how casually Ayaka defeated the 4 witches, man is she OP or what?

Takamiya da man! Everyone wants his "white stuff" XD

This felt a little dull. Didn’t feel like there was much progress after the first episode. More random witches and too much exposition. It’s early though. Will see how it goes.

Also, Kagari-san is really OP. I hope the fights in the future won't get so one sided.

So far - quite loyal to the manga.. I wonder how long it will continue to be.. I hope they plan to go for a season 2 and just stay loyal to the manga If it remains such it will be a good adaption and the animation remains quite good - So season 2 or anime only.. I hope they leave it loyal and go for the second season xD

I'm unable to decide if this episode was good or not, I have mixed feelings and will probably have to re-watch it before I can make a sound judgement. I like episode one, but it wasn't anything special, and this one didn't seem to be either. Some good comedy moments, love the name thing with Crazy-san. I'll comment more if I re-watch it.

Hahaha! Dat cat-eared-M witch of the tower, she's not tortured! she's aroused!!!! Hahaha

The white stuff, hahaha! I wonder what it is >.<

Woah, kagari-san is quite scary when someone abducts Takamiya Honoka.

So that's the principal, hahaha I didn't think of her as one...

Dat Ice cream and Maid, hahaha it suddenly turned into ice, how the hell did it happen!?

Another witch-of-the-tower-weirdo targetting honoka... Hahaha, Kagari's gun is not a pistol, it's an RPG hahahaa! Bang!

So basically it's a date! hahahaa Nice turn of events for the second episode. Honoka being an apprentice in the next episode, nice! Gotta make sure to watch it next week! hahaha I'm excited!

Dat Ed was funny, I'd like to make a .gif of it but it quite looks difficult to make a good one...

Oh, and I noticed that the animation quality is a LOT better. I wonder if they've been given more of a budget after the first episode.

So, after my last comment I re-watched this episode. It was a decent episode, with some hilarious moments. I love the name joke with Crazy-san, and the little sister following Kagari and Honoka was great. I'll probably keep watching this series, it may yet become a good series. I love the ED.

Bang! I already liked Kagari, but after she showed her love for Spike, I have deep respect for her.

That ED is so catchy.

My problem so far is that there is way too many characters being introduced, and none of the tower witches really have any difference from each other, and with them being in such vast numbers, it doesn't give much promise that they'll be able to fit it in a 12 episode series.
So many witches, so few eps...

This damn main character is so fucking annoying... He could seriously win the most bland uninteresting charaster ever award. He also in standard retard fare stand up for the shits trying to kill him, while they try to fucking kill him, when he knows they try to kill him. Also why the hell can't he get an answer to the one fucking question that matters, being; WTF is going on!? Feels very artificially drawn out and Mary Sue, I mean Kagari Ayaka, doesn't really help in any way. What also bugs me is why does she let the Tower witches get away with no damage all the damn time? You'd think it'd make sense to take care of them permanently... All in all, plot is barely existant with all the holes in it and we still have no explaination for just about anything.

1. They're not trying to kill him, they're trying to get his "white stuff," which will be revealed in an episode or two, so there's the answer to his question. Nobody ever said anything (to him or anybody else) about killing him.
2. Where would the story go if everything was revealed in the second (of twelve + an ova) episodes? The manga is still going on as well.
3. What "plot holes"?
4. He's already getting ready to learn magic, so calm down.

It was better than the first episode but then again most things would be better than that dreadful first episode.
Not sure how I feel about this though.
The magic/action scenes teeter between "that was pretty good" and "that's really annoying".
Like that girl in the store her fighting sequence being followed by that oujo-sama laughter as she escaped, then that cut to the karaoke scene.

That ED. I see what it's doing but nothing can beat Machine-doll's Maware ending in terms of catchy wtf-ness.

Alright, that was much better than the first episode. I got what I wanted with Takamiya being a little more assertive this time around. I'm glad he decided to learn magic, otherwise I would've been a little irked with him just being a "damsel in distress" the whole time.

Have to agree. I was really disappointed after the first episode, but this one was amusing, I particularly liked the troll they did ending last episode with the build up of the other 4 exchange students and then have them get wiped out so easily, that started things off well and then they built on it, adding some nice plot elements.

They should have some more background next week, I want to know why the workshop witches let the tower witches escape so easily when it seems so much is at stake here, this hints at some more interesting development forthcoming (this ties into the question that Takamiya asked: "if I am so dangerous why are you letting me walk around:). There has to be something more than "workshop witches just don't do those things".

The "taking your white stuff" joke was fun, particularly the team member who got the potential misunderstanding.

I also agree that it was nice to see the lead harem err I mean main character step up and do something instead of being the passive lust object for a bunch of superior girls. Likewise I hope that this remains a quasi harem and doesn't develop into a full blown one.

At first I thought the plot to this anime was kind of lame, but as I find myself repeatedly watching bits of the second episode, I realize that it's really well-made.

I love how the little witch familiars are all over the place doing their thing, fading into the background as nobody even acknowledges their existence.

Speaking of fading into the background, I didn't even notice Takamiya's younger sister was even following him until the out of place cardboard box made it a little obvious. Only after intentionally looking for her did I notice that she was eavesdropping on the phone call from the stairs and following them long before the box scene. I wonder if she has any significance in the story, or if her sneaking around is just a bit of flair?

And I absolutely love how strong a character Kagari is. She takes her role as Takamiya's protector so seriously that she even protects his ears from loud noises like gunshots. But she does it selflessly, and doesn't try to act like a hero, as is typical of anime where the men are protecting weak, defenseless women. And she's willing to take on Takamiya as an apprentice instead of hogging all the magical glory.

She's ridiculously overpowered, and were she a man, would have a harem of women in other anime. The scene where she drops the bullets and follows through with an explosion strong enough to cause the floor to bubble and melt is awesome. It's as if she was taunting her enemies because the fact that they thought shooting at her would achieve anything was slightly irritating. With the way she's so effortlessly powerful, the fact that she chooses not to kill anyone makes her a real badass. I kind of wonder whether she lets people live because of Workshop policy or because she feels like she doesn't need to.
