----------------------------------------
LOL, that was priceless. I'm starting to like Takamiya's little sister more and more now though. We even get to see some of their flashbacks. What a daring girl.

Poor Kagari this episode...I feel her pain ;.;
I'm somewhat proud of Takamiya this episode I guess. Kid's growing.

Exciting fight against Medusa, and a little romantic-comedy: http://i58.tinypic.com/2jdi22t.jpg

There's something very wrong with this family. Well now we know why Takamiya's mother is alright with him staying with her. His sister too though. Just being his sister doesn't mean the poor guy can't have some space. Though I wouldn't mind all too much if he and I switched places.

Kagari fought fairly hard this episode. It's nice that he has strong people surround him otherwise he'd be boned. I also would've been more fond of a kiss on the lips, but I guess it's a step in the right direction.

Kagari OP. Should've went for the lips Takamiya. I love how the Tower witches are always doing something comedic even Medusa now.

I'm sure the voice of Medusa is Sawashiro Miyuki and I suspect that of Shirohime Evarmilion is Noto Mamiko?

This show just keeps getting better, every time you think you have a handle on where it is going the writer pulls the rug out from under you. It also gets the small things right. Kagari's mother admiring her 41 story building just before it explodes, the mother's story of her love, this

Which was a treat, loved the demon's reaction, and that Kagari knew about it later was a good little bit of writing. The other tower witches forming a club, and the cynical one looking out the window, and then at the end Medusa at the school infirmary (once again showing that there is some sort of rule governing tower and workshop), and the MC's sister having to go with all the neighbor obaachans. Absolutely lovely.
And that ending of the credits, with the all out attack by the workshop witches, that was just too much fun.

I disliked the first episode, but from the first scene of the second this show has me hooked. Going to have to buy the manga when this is done.

I was expecting Medusa's voice to be a little more sinister, but I suppose none of the tower witches have given off a sinister vibe so far. Medusa definitely gives a more serious aura than the others though, I wonder how powerful she is without her eyes and arms sealed. It was also good to see Evermilion, as well as both her and Medusa in the Ending.

Great episode. This show keeps improving with each new episode. The mom was hilarious especially when she called Takimiya a "bride." The sister is a total brocon, but I doubt she's his real sister. I wonder why the woman was sealed inside Takimiya and if he and Kagari knew each other when they were younger or they have memories of someone from the past. Also the soundtrack this episode was great.

That has been one of the strange things about this show. None of the tower witches have been particularly evil, hell Medusa was rehabilitated by the end of the show. Even Chironoire, who looked like she might become a boss, got blitzed at the end of the episode and was no real threat to the workshop witches. In most shows invincible heroes would be a determent, but in this show it really makes you wonder what is going on.

This confusion is what has converted me to being a fan. The writer has great talent, from what by all accounts seems like a stereotypical witch show, has me guessing what will happen yet. That is what makes a great show.

I agree. I'm a manga reader so I know a fair bit, and yet I'm still unsure of who THE main antagonist is. The show is good at leaving a lot of feasible options for story development.

Sister with massive brother complex. Scary almost yandere. Boy freaks out kissing girl on cheek. Not sure why. I would think a sister with that big a complex, would have kissed his cheek in past. :shrugs.: I think she looks cool with the golden flames look. Not sure why she doesn't want him to see. Good show. Loved they went back to his place to live.

3:13 yuri + epic ost/piano ftw

---------------------------
1. Great ost. Really sucked me into those predictable fight scenes.

2. It's hard to take the villains seriously cuz once they're defeated, they act like idiots/clowns afterwards (like medusa & those 5 witches)

3. Wish the dialogue was more intense. It's like the same stuff in other anime like this

Honoka being the "wife"...is more suitable than some would think. If anyone's wearing the "pants" in their relationship, it'd be Kagari.

So...the "white stuff" came out.

Indeed.

I'm kind of confused about what's going on. Medusa's a tower witch and they're supposed to be the bad guys right? And yet she and her minions are just relaxing wherever the heck they are. And Chronoire and Kagari's mom seem to be friends? I'm so lost lol.

No doubt. He couldn't even man up and kiss her properly. No pants for you nancy.

Than again it's Japan we're talking about. Where on one side they normally enjoy portraying males that are afraid of the female body and on the other end of the spectrum they enjoy 12 year old girls getting tentacle raped.

Yeah. I don't mind this show being light hearted, but as I watched this episode it made me wonder if there's any real reason for them to be fighting if they're going to be so nonchalant about capturing him or anything of the sort for that matter. I guess it does make one want to watch the show though, in hopes they'll explain such scenes.

You have to understand that Workshop vs Tower is lawful vs chaotic, not good vs evil. Workshop witches protect normal people and work together with established rules, Tower witches are mostly solo acts that do whatever they want, this doesn't mean they're 'evil' people that would randomly attack others or anything like that.

Medusa is kept sealed because she's incredibly powerful and she has a horrible attitude, she simply loves fighting and due to her power whenever she fights the collateral damage is immense (the maids in this episode for example). It's the same reason why Evermillion is sealed, as seen in the episode she destroys parts of town by just casually swinging her arm.

I think you misunderstood. I'm not sure about the other comments, but I don't so much care as to if they're evil or not or why medusa is sealed ( this should be obvious) just that if they're after him, why relax in the room right next to him if he's so important to their overall scheme of things?

A easier way to say this would be, if all they wanted was his power or the demons that are sealed inside him they've had multiple chances at doing so. Yet they just sit there right next to him like "Yo whats up?" lol.

I think that's the best thing about this show. The protagonists and the (supposed) antagonists aren't enemy in the truest sense. One moment they'd be fighting, the next they're chillin'. Even Kagari's mom had a nice civil chat with Cronoire back in episode 2 and now she's torturing her. First of all it doesn't even make sense if they just want to release Evermillion since she clearly doesn't get along well with the Tower witches, there must be some other background motive that's yet to be revealed.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride. As Kagari said, it'll be explained in due time.

Takamiya's mom is hilarious XD And Kasumi's Brocon level is one of the highest I've seen XD

Kagari's house was O_O! Awesome elevator. Wish I could ride it ^^

The fight with medusa was pretty nice. Love Kagari's flames as usual. Evermilion, seems damn awesome! Loving her personality and design a lot <3...His will to sacrifice his eyes so easily deserves respect. Always lol when Kagari's mom is saying what a nice day then BOOOM! something happens. Poor House XD

Lol'd at the end with Medusa now a part of the comedy everyday life XD

His mother's reaction to Kagaris living with them now was funny ^^

Can't wait for more :D

So Ayaka and the main where already betrothed even tho the wife to be aka the main didn't know anything about it yet.
Seems their mothers had a good relationship tho this also explains the reason why Kagami's mother was so nice to the main.
Was funny to see the mothers main cry because of it tho.
Still living together in the mains home predicts trouble with the little sister in the future, then again living in Ayaka's home will be impossible for a while it seems.
