| Apparently, having a fever makes someone drunk. Anime Mahou Sensou logic. |
| looked at the forums, seems dropping it was a good idea. |
 |
| Sigh, I'm expecting some more relationship BS like Kurumi switching over to that ponytail guy. I'm not sure which is worse in this show, writing or directing. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
HalibelTheEspada said: Honestly, I don't really care who she ends up with, as long it isn't Takeshi. After the way she's treated him, I just couldn't find any "real" relationship between them believable.I guess I'm one of the few who would actually be fine with Kurumi x Oigami. I'm not sure if I like Gekkou yet... he just keeps talking all menacingly, though I do feel bad for him and he probably has the right to be upset. I just hope he doesn't turn out to be evil. The fact that they brainwashed Oigami though, makes me wonder who's actually brainwashed... Mui or her "brother"? The_Bif said: Have to say, I was thinking the same thing.Just going by the comments posted here, I would almost believe that the majority of them were posted by people who have never watched this series before this episode. However, waiting a week between episodes can cause difficulties in keeping up with things. Finally Takeshi is getting tired of Kurumi's bullshit, it's about damn time lil buddy! Grow some balls and tell the bitch to grow up, get off your dick, and learn to handle relationships with the opposite sex! I mean, really, the way she reacted to Oigami was pathetic- dude was just trying to be nice, maybe he even likes her a bit, but damn I don't know how anyone could like her! She's useless and annoying, and every scene she's in is either her getting jealous because Takeshi isn't worshiping her or she's crying because Takeshi wants to be helpful to someone who actually needs it. In which case she usually misunderstands anything he does that doesn't revolve around kissing her ass, because she's a dumb bitch. I won't argue about her personality, even though I actually kinda like her character, but I mean he was in the bed with her under the covers and hugging her and she took her bra off. I really find that entire scene hard to believe... how does any of that even happen? :oThis is true, there was some crazy stuff happening when she walked in on Takeshi and Mui. And, I can even understand her not listening to Takeshi and throwing him out, I get that, the rage and hurt and all there. I do. But, it very rapidly escalates into the territory of ignorance and immaturity. She flips out on Mui, who is her roommate and supposedly her friend, who is only trying to help because she's obviously fuzzy on the whole thing herself. Kicks her out too, and proceeds to stand in the open doorway and cry like a baby until she turns into one. Now, don't even get me started on Mui's condition. The fever and drunken behavior came out of nowhere and played no part other to set up the comical shipper moments and the annoying Kurumi scenes, so I'm not defending Mui based on the fever. Honestly, it was rather unnecessary and could have been played off differently and better. I will admit, however, that I am kind of bias against Kurumi because I simply cannot stand her character at all. I find her to be completely and utterly useless and annoying. So, maybe my opinion about the situation is bias because of my non-tolerance of Kurumi. Could be, I'll admit it's a likely possibility. But, it doesn't change the fact that she could have handled the situation in a way more befitting her age. Her turning into a baby only goes to show her mentality at the time. |

| I wonder what will happen if Oigami's memories come back one day And wow at that fan service. Seriously tho, i hope Takeshi and Mui will end up together |

Which wouldn't happen in a million years in the LN or the other guy. So what happens in the LN exactly then? And how much did they adapt this episode? Because it sure as hell seemed to be a lot XD |
| Kurumi is starting to get on my nerves honestly :-/ I prefer Mui and the MC....Kurumi can stay with that Gekkou brat for all I care. Getting tired of the whole useless whiney female thing :-( |
| Well episode was okay, but this love triangle, Takeshi's character, and cliche story is just irritating to watch throughout the series. It was a good start since the 1st but then it went all downhill starting episode 3. Come on Takeshi, express your feelings to Kurumi, I know you are "Pretending," but at least look up to her. Also, it will be disappointed if you let Gekkou or Oigami take the advantage. Why Oigami lost his memories all of sudden, that doesn't make sense. Miu was okay for the most part but can it please drop the brother act for just an entire episode. Well, lets hope that next episode would be better. |
| Mui kawaii tsk Kurumi, go home you drunk :P |

The question now is do I keep going with this anime or just put it aside and wait until I get the LN... |

One more episode and if I still don't like it, I'm going to drop and wait for the LN to get translated...or maybe just completely forget this exists. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Man that felt so rushed I thought I skipped episodes or something and Oigami is now brainwashed to be "good" again... So basically everyone brainwashes everybody. This anime is running out of good traits for me to keep going. |

| Takeshi is jerk when it comes to women. I mean Isoshima is his childhood friend who likes him yet he tries to push her away (what personality is that?) but at the same time he doesn't even tries to do something about Mui. I am fed of this "I wanna her to be independent" attitude of his that's bullshit and evident excuse. His "obligatory" pairing with Mui feels forced. Their scenes together are staged for fanservice and nothing else. Trailers attacking illusionary battleground. I don't even question how they did that and about academy teachers (non)reaction to that. But WTH, what was purpose of that when they left afterwards? Did they just wanted to prove themself of something? And what was Mui's reaction to this illusion invasion? "Those big black parts sure are bad and we are attacked by uknownk force here but nevertheless - we have to complete the task!" Maan... Some really bad and horrible writing is at show here. And now magical school does the same thing as Trailers to get its students? I mean, memories wipe, how ethical is that? Are they any different? (anyway, Oigami seems to be interested in Kurumi, I bet he tries to lure her to trailers later that's obvious turn of further events) Also did animation quality dropped this time? There were many grey half-framerate scenes this time, to the point it's becoming very uncomfortable to watch this. |
| They should kill Takeshi and make Oigami into main character. In few minutes he proved to be better than Takeshi in 5 episodes. Also Mui is so annoing and diddnt seems that she told others that blond haired teacher is a spy. |
Mich666 said: But WTH, what was purpose of that when they left afterwards? Did they just wanted to prove themself of something? That's the easy part to answer - they were wanting to see more of Takeshi in action, and see how he uses his weapon. Once they had done this they had no further reason to be there and so left. As for the staff's (lack of) reaction, they know they're infiltrated by the trailers, and they also know that the trailers wouldn't want to pose significant harm to the students (after all, the trailers themselves make use of the school for training people up). If there is thus little danger, the only reason to interfere would be to restore the test to the way it had been. Which could well have been impossible. And, of course, interfering could have created problems that weren't there before. The hard part to explain is why the trailers did it in the way that they did... |

| Does anyone who read the LNs atleast know pink haired girl name? That's where my last bit of interest in this series goes. Dropped. This series was such a let down and I'm regretful of watching it to this point. |

OnionSoda said: Dropped. This series was such a let down and I'm regretful of watching it to this point. Just to comment on this a bit, When it comes to current airing series "for me", I will always go to the halfway point only if the anime is absolute garbage, 1-2 rating area, because once again "for me" I will not give a rating to an anime I didn't give a chance and halfway point is giving an anime a good chance to eventually win me over. This anime did have some things that I was interested in like the different types of magic and the twilight sword but the terrible main characters are like a wooden stake on the chances of me going on after the next episode. So don't regret watching it only if it's one of the worse of the worse, which it's not. ---Side note--- Also if you watch the whole thing, then you are able to criticize the anime more efficiently as well. |

Hibbington said: Also if you watch the whole thing, then you are able to criticize the anime more efficiently as well. Well yeah but who watches cartoons they don't enjoy till the end to properly criticize it? I think that defeats the whole purpose of watching anime in one's free time. |
babymilo91 said: Kurumi has another crying meltdown. I guess that I can agree with Takeshi that she has to learn to deal with her problems sooner rather than later, and can't be relying on him all he time. THIS. |

| Awesome episode :D |
 |
| Takeshi no baka!! Don't exactly know what happened besides knowing that this is a filler == |

Just to clarify myself, five episodes seems like too few to properly judge anything, but, AFAIK, this is 12 episodes anime so this is a halfway point and until now I got nothing of appealing to me. So no, this is not case of hasty review, your point will only be fair if this was a long runner or a two tier series. 1)Characters are anoying, illogical and unrelatable. To put it bluntly, the characterization sucks hairy balls. 2)Setting: I like magic, alternate universe and overall fantasy settings that despicts unique worlds and their laws, in this case (and I blame the director on that) it's bassicaly "look! ruined world, magicians that want to destroy the world just because, hogwarts wanna be academy ruled by blondie-chan. NOW GET BACK TO THE SCHOOL DRAMA!"... 3)Action: Bamboo>steel. Onii-chan battle had mediocre pacing. Nothing else note worthy. 1) and 2) had no way to improve in so few episodes left, not if they keep rushing everything to set another forced TakeshiXMui scene who, btw, had no chemistry at all. Only thing that could save this for me is a good villain, but so far we only got an evil grin here and there, and bad oniichan who every time he appears is screaming "LOOK HOW SERIOUS AND COOL I AM". Since next episode preview showed the director fighting against the guy with glasses, I may give it a hopeless last try. |

| Isoshima is one reason why I want to drop the show and Mui is one to keep watching. The fast developments and random ones for drop and the ED to stay; this show is pushing me. |
 |
| As much as I respect, and understand, that different people will have different opinions of this, or any, anime series; when I read some of the negative reviews of what it is people are hating about this series, I cannot truly get what it is they expected from it in the first place. So far this series is not any different from any of the other fantasy magical school anime, and I can't accept that as a reason not to like it. Everything has been done before, originality in a new series is near impossible at this point, and for a series like this it is it's cliches and stereotypes that make it work. It doesn't follow the LN exactly, and in fact seems to have strayed pretty far, but that's fine- this is an anime not a LN, translations from one platform to the other do not have to be exact to be good. The only points I've found truly believable at this point is that some people find the characters annoying and/or difficult to relate to. This is only natural, and happens with all anime. Personally, I've only found a couple characters thus far that I find annoying or cannot relate to. Oh, and the plot issues. Some people cannot accept such a simple and illogical plot, maybe this kind of series just isn't for you. This series does not take itself seriously, nor does the plot, as it's not meant to bring anything new to the table or do anything other than present mindless entertainment. There's nothing wrong with a plot that isn't meant to be deep, complex, or even taken seriously; it's all just for fun. So, again, the only grievance I can find merit in is the gripe with the characters. While I admit this isn't best anime of it's kind, and that I have seen tons better, for what it is it is really quite enjoyable. |

| This episode was so full of cliched misunderstandings that I just wanted to bang my head against my desk until it bled and I lost all memory of ever watching it. Sent with Mal Updater |

| mui is kawaii as fuck |
| Mui was pretty cute this episode. The bed scene was kinda odd though haha |
| woah nice fight ended :3 that weapon really cool!! XD |
| Anyone know where I could get the light novel? |
| too much bs dropped |

I don't agree with you tat it doesnt take itself seriously cause then it would hav been a comedy and comedy it is not. this thing is a fool, much like the MC who thinks they are taking yhemself seriously but is nothing more than a narsasistic child who only thinks about his/her self.and also to say that it is suppose to be mindless entertainment makes a mockery of real mindless entertainment like the Transformers movies and the idea of story telling as those things are suppose to draw your interest and make u feel involed and wanting more ( well i do want more , to see Takeshi suffer) and this is failing miserably in all regards, as if the writers dont have any sort of idea of mood, atmosphere or emotions or normal human social behaviours Saying it would "have" to be a comedy if it didn't take itself seriously isn't necessarily true, there are many works of fiction that can be considered "mindless entertainment" that do not fit into the comedy genre. Just look at a large portion of the action genre, most fighting movies, or anime, don't take themselves serious because they're focused on their form of entertainment. In the action genre it would be the fights, the plot is barely there and serves only as a way to progress from one fight to the next. But, while there are a few that flop horribly, most are quite successful because people enjoy what they're presented with. Now, I can't really say what form of entertainment the creators are going for with this anime, as there seems to be a mix of action, drama, and even a little comedy. So, maybe they're just creating a mash-up. But, regardless, to try and take anything this anime presents seriously is to immediately ruin any chance you have of enjoying what is being presented. Let's look at the stereotypes and cliche's presented here: there's the botched romance with a love triangle, the hero with ridiculous power and the desire to help those around him, fanservice left and right, a loli, a brocon, there's a save the world plotline buried in the mess somewhere, there's the typical "hero needs his nakama to survive" angle(twilight's ability), and there's school life setting. Somewhere in all of that, there could be a good, maybe great, story line if it focused less on the stereotypes, cliches, and fanservice. But, it is what it is, a showcase mesh of everything that has made an anime popular at some point thrown into each and every episode. How can that kind of mess take itself seriously? |

| What an awful episode. Mui's brother complex was a bit disturbing... Was a bit funny when Kurumi walked in and saw her bra on the floor... The best part was the preview for the next episode... bomb diggity, yo! |
  |
| Is it just me, or is Kurumi saying 'Takashi-kun baka!' ALOT... I wish they could at least introduce some more colorful dialogue for already such an empty shell character. |
| *insert subjectively witty comment* |
| High Fever = Drunk Makes sense... |
| I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you. ( ･ㅂ･)و ̑̑ Everyday life. |
| It was so-so |
| Rushed and poor character development. Kurumi should really stop being a bitch. It's annoying. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| Well everyone failed there exam in my opinion since they were all forced removed. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Damn Kurumi is useless in a fight. What was with turning into a baby? She turned back already? Takeshi is just being a dick to her. It's like now that Mui's there he doesn't give a shit. I mean he got her into this mess and she followed him. Takeshi and his brother are quickly becoming the worst characters in this.... |
 |
| This episode was so bad, so rushed. Kurumi is retarded as fuck, all she does all show is to blame EVERYONE ELSE besides herself, she's defenseless, useless and most of all bitchy all the time. She's also INTENTIONALLY dense, she won't let the dude pick whatever he wants, it's like she thinks she owns him, no wait, she truly believes that, such a delusional character. Mui and Ida are the only somewhat normal characters, the protagonist is also okayish, oh, and the villains, they didn't become retarded, except for Oigami, but his memories were erased, it seems the director of the school plans to make copies of Kurumi-quality-characters. The director at least knows her priorities, she doesn't give a fuck. The fight was horrible, but the "Hey, we're almost there." and the sudden crash of the golem made me laugh out loud. I liked the fanservice because I love Mui, but it wasn't even appropriately put in, they just made a SUDDEN change in her behavior for what the protag called a "fever" that suddenly disappeared after 10 seconds of sleep, maybe she was exhausted or something, who the hell knows what's going on is only the one that directed this filler. I won't drop this, I never drop anything, I'll score it really low probably, it's one of the anime that deserve that, I'll read the LN when they'll either translate it or I'll be capable of reading Japanese. |
Play League of Legends here! Autocrat said: Hitler was good, objectively. |
| holy shit so much happened this ep *_* gekkou continues to get creepier ugh i can pretty much guess how that's gonna turn out >< hopefully takeshi or oigami can knock some sense into him |
| i dont even know why i keep returning to this shit... decent 1st ep, shittastick everything else |
 |
| Man that NaoTou gangsta voice lol. She's such a great VA. Mui best girl. That drunk Mui |
