| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Saya getting some alone time with Ayato? About time ago. Meh, first half felt really dull until the Saya part imo. And the other schools gets some mentioning by Claudia. Too bad there will only be two episodes left so it won't ever adapt that far unless the show gets more seasons. Julis looked adorable in her dress though for that dance party. Same with Kirin :D |

| Really liked the political aspects of this episode...I would love getting to see more of it Apart from that, Julis' brother seems cool but I bet he has a hidden side to him and man I did not expect to see that he has a wife and like 5 other lovers lol The setup for this new 5 man team festa was great imo too and I really liked the teamwork at the end there between Ayato, Julis and Saya and speaking of Saya, her little heart to heart with Ayato was really sweet Great episode overall, and I LOVED seeing the girls in those dresses |
| Wow, Julis and Ayato surely get "caught" in that crowd instantly thanks to Julis's brother for setting that up. LOL |

| That laugh though at the end. lol |
| Nice to see the girls in the dresses, and Kirin especially was adorable towards the end. Ayato fudged up the Chimera. Didn't know he was that strong without a weapon, then again, I think this is the first time we've seen him fight without one. The old man's laugh was among the funniest laughs I've heard in anime lol |
    |
| I'm missing something? How they were able to use their powers without weapons? Anyway good episode. I liked their dresses. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Ayato, you can't chose four girls like Julis' brother ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Meh episode, I didn't expect more tho |
| Another Festa sooo 3rd season confirmed? |
 |
| Oh please dont tell me this will get another season, a lot of other anime deserves a second season, hell Rakudai was a lot more better than this besides the OST's Been a long time since I heard Flora's voice, my God does that woman not know how high pitched her voice is? seriously my ears went numb everytime she spoke. Other than that the girls with dresses were definitely a good part, Claudia looked 10x more hotter than usual. |
  |
| Do not want to sound like i complain every episode, but should i question that some random guy walked into party and summoned a chimera and it was accepted as it was normal. And i rarely question logic stuff because it's pretty much pointless, but it still was kinda strange. As i said earlier it all comes down to 3rd season which i don't see happening. |
 |
| Actually wanted to punch my screen whenever flora was speaking kirin was almost the same this episode. Otherwise decent enough episode 3/5 |
 |
| PLEASE SEASON THREE I BEG OF YOU A-1 + PRODUCTION COMMITTEE i love that they got into the history of lieseltania its great world building i think. the integrated enterprise foundation is really intriguing and id love if they went further with that. the fight was pretty cool to see: ayato owned that chimera even without his weapon. @rsc-pl ayato was using his familys form of martial arts, julis is a strega and can use her mana to cast spells even without a weapon (like in the beginning of the very first episode), and saya had one of her guns on hand. THE DRESSES WERE SO PRETTY TOO IM CRYING. |
| Oh dear. Flora's voice is almost unbearable. Its too high pitched. Like someone put the pitch volume to max. It was nice to see the girls all dressed up. Kirin is so cute. The black dress with black ribbons looks lovely while her plump breast is well shown. Julis bro has a harem. If he can have a harem, so can Ayato. Imagine Ayato getting married to Julis and having the others as his mistresses. When they weren't allowed to bring weapons I had a feeling there's going to be trouble. Good thing Saya brought her's along. And even without a weapon, Ayato kick that Chimera's ass. I thought Saya was going to confess before the event. Hoping for another season. Light novel sales prove the series is popular. Not only we'll see the Gryps festa battle, but Sylvia as well. |
| Okay, now I'm a bit peeved.... not only did they chop and change things up so as to completely throw out the entire Chapters 1 and 2 of the volume, but that first chapter was one of the more important ones too. We lost out on the introduction of the badass Helga Lindvall, her talk with Ayato in regards to the investigation into the Eclipse and the renewed search for Ayato's sister, as well as the exposition concerning that story line AND certain implications of things which they decided to animate last episode (but because of not adapting Chapter 1, now feels completely irrelevant). Seriously, if they're not going to keep using Haruka's plot-line here, why bother animating that last scene from last week at all? Everything is suppose to happen DURING the course of their stay in Lustania, so you cannot tell me they'll just move things around and push that story line back into a Season 3.. it's not going to work.... Skipping the trip to Saya's home in Munich before heading to Lustania was understandable given time constraints on this show, but not getting to see them animate her parents was disappointing... They even skipped the call Sylvia made to Ayato in the Airport lounge to invite him out on a date, which riled all the girls up.... Seriously, why the heck would they skip such an awesome scene!?!?! After doing such a decent job for the first 21 episodes, why do you mess it up like so now?!?! Edit: On a side note, translators got some shit wrong. Galaxy is actually the name of one of the ruling Economic Blocs which control Lustania. It's just one of six/seven blocs which make up the entire Integrated Enterprise Foundation that rules the entire Earth. Claudia's parents are ruling members of that bloc. |

Sunflex2012 said: I can't stand Flora's voice. It's too high. So now Claudia will enter a Festa? Why didn't the schools except Seidoukan Academy send their strongest students to Phoenix Festa, but will send stronger students to Gryps Festa? Not related to this episode, but Julis is one of the strongest of Seidoukan and only won because of Ayato. Are the other schools so strong? Hmm, schools don't send students to participate the Festas. As festas are mostly voluntary, most students do it for the rewards and fames. So the winner is the student individual from a certain school, not the school that wins the festa. Unless you are commanded by the student council president, as they have high authority. Each school has their own pros and cons in certain area, and very strong students. For example, Galahadworth 's team dominates the Gryps(5v5); Lewolf dominated 2 times in Lindwurm(solo). The strongest student in Asterisk is Lewolf's Ophelia which you will see her in next episode. You see in the Pheonix festas all participants are so weak, sadly most of them are not even within rank 10. |
| Flora. the voice you used to summon them to the party wasnt nails on a chalkboard. please forever use your serious voice from now on please and thank you |
Around and around the cycle goes. |
Best scene of the episode xD.  |
  |
| Amagiri look'd so similar to Subaru (Re:Zero)....wow...just why Ayato used all those simple and lame techniques on that Chimera....couln't he used smh else??? Like wtf bruh....and who the fuck was that oldman at the end? Rival? Assasin of some sorts??? Idk this sounds dull to me |
 |
| Cool episode. Nice to see Saya and Ayato having a little chat. All of the girls looked beautiful in their dresses but Saya's dress was the best. Julis' big brother with all those lovers lol, reminds me of a certain MC that I know. Having read a few of the comments regarding the pacing of the show, I am glad I didn't (don't) read manga or LN so just watching the anime as is wouldn't bother me as much as those who did. Season 3, season 3! Come on, you HAVE to give us a season 3 or a movie or something after teasing the Gryps Festa. It would be so bad ass to see all 5 of them team up. Also the fact that Claudia doesn't appear in season 2 much, she even said so herself in one of the post credits scene, the Gryps Festa is a good event to see Claudia and her abilities in action. At the end of the last episode there better be a screencard of "Season 3" or I'm flipping some tables. |
 |
| This episode is beautiful. I hope they will make a ss3, so we can watch the Gryps Festa. |
 |
| Well... hell Amagiri is even almost OP without his weapon... The girls looked so cute with dresses... i fell in love with Kirin.... again ♥ ... .. . Please Flora... try to speak with your serious voice... it is less, pitchy (?) than your normal voice... |
| I like how this episode gave a preview of how Claudia's team will be set up for the Gryps festa. Saya and Julis will provide artillery while Claudia, Kirin, and Ayato will do the close combat. |
| Around and around the cycle goes. |
| new enemies our being introduced..but I want more reveal about Ayato's sister... What actually happened to her... the show is to end in 3 to 4 episodes |
 |
| I really don't like how A-1 Pictures adapted this serie so far. It could be a good serie, even if it was generic, it could be more fun to watch if they just spent more time&money on this anime. I really think that some of the scenes could be adapted a little bit better, especially Ayato and Saya scene. the music don't fit many scenes in this season too ;/ And the whole talk about the next fiest was sooo rushed! I had to check everything in google to know what's going on lol What is this fiesta and the players. I don't know why it even got mentioned all of the sudden, because I believe that they could make it a little better if it was just a promotion of the light novel. Or just a new season, but I don't think there will be a third season, but i kinda hope so! I really want to see tose fights adpated :o Never seen 5vs5 battle in anime :D This could be interesting af |
 |
| My god Kirin looked fantastic this episode. |
 |
| Here i am, wondering if saya will be thrown away by ayato. Guess not, huh? The story is very fast-paced. I expect 1-2 more episode after festa, but they slam it right away with another tournament. just, please asterisk, if you want to rush the story, give me a scene of that undercover diva again. |
Flora's voice keeps sickening my ears... |
| Gypsy Festa seems WAY tougher than the other festas and Claudia says she stands more of a chance there? fishy. Winter vacation and they al;l go to Julis's place and we meet her brother and find out the circumstances of the family and land. A ball party and a old man is send to kill them, he just sends chimera but it's not enough. Mature women alright ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
 |
| Most of this episode was pretty boring. And for the love of god can flora shut the fuck up? |
| That last fight scene was tast. |
| Another Fiesta? I am getting tired of this. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Meh episode. Nothing happened much, but going to party. |
 |
| Julis' brother has so many lovers? Lol. Seems like more of a calm episode this time, until the ending. I enjoyed it. Especially the girls were cute. I wonder who that old man was, but Ayato even has his skills without weapon. Neat. Seems like there'll be another Festa and only two episodes left.... S3 please. |
  |
| I like this arc, political and personal problems are strongly involved in the plot, which in my opinion gives more depth to the work, I think this is the first challenge that the new team of Ayato will face until the arrival of the next Festa, I am really looking forward to see the characters that will appear in the next episodes .. |
  |
| That last scene with the wind. I taught it was in my room. |
ichii_1 said: Gypsy Festa seems WAY tougher than the other festas and Claudia says she stands more of a chance there? fishy. is it really fishy though? I mean theyre the top 5 students in that school martial wise. Then add to the fact that she doesnt have to fight Ayato to win the Gryps festa. Then add that 2 of the people on her team just won the Phoenix festa. All that together makes it a pretty straight forward decision to inv them to be on her team lol. Whats fishy to me is why people dont want anyone on her team in the first place. |
| Around and around the cycle goes. |
| They all look good in those dresses. >.< Holy crap, they are introducing the Gryps festa with a full team this time? They don't have enough episodes to cover that. I hope they announce another cour for this since I am very interested. This episode made us realize that the participants in the Phoenix festa are all weak... and some schools dominate the other two types of Festa (Gallahadworth for the Gryps while LeWolf on the Lindwurm). We seriously need more Claudia screen time, she has been a background character since. |

| Since Phoenix Festa ended I was hoping I could see more Sylvia this episode.... *sigh* |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| When they've said that there is another Phoenix Festa but with 5 vs 5, i was like "this needs to happen, we need S3" xD It seems that there is much more plot behind Julis Country's crisis... I really hope this season will end with Ayato's sister getting saved by him or something like that. The girls were very cute in this episode, Kirin as always so shy xD And and Saya's swag face ahahaha so funny :D We need S3! |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
I wonder how will they show her in the next episode. |
| So Ayato was still strong without a weapon good moves though Good to see the girls on that dress Kirin's to adorable Damn that old man unique laugh |

Ryuutobi said: Kecoaganteng said: Well, the director chose to cut her scene for some reason. As L-Ryoshi mentioned, the LN has a scene in the airport where Sylvia invited Ayato for a three days date in the next school festival. It was by a video call btw.just, please asterisk, if you want to rush the story, give me a scene of that undercover diva again. So dissapointing. Clearly best girl for this season |
| Going by what L-Ryoshi mentioned, it's a shame that certain important chapters was cut. Despite that, this episode was still good and enjoyable. I already hate the Integrated Enterprise Foundation. By the sounds of it, it's too controlling for the king of Julis' homeland. It already reminds me of the annoyances with today's government and the EU honestly. -__- Although I'm surprised that Julis' brother has many lovers even though he's married. I guess polygamy(I think that's the right word) seems to be acceptable for the higher-ups in this country. The girls looked fantastic in their dresses for the party. Sadly, the party was ruined by the old man who wanted Ayato to not team up with Claudia for the interesting 5v5 Festa that'll happen in the future. His laugh at the end was absolutely weird. O_O The best part, by far, was when Flora came to gather Ayato's group. For the whole scene, she spoke with a serious voice that didn't go off the charts in the pitch department. If only her voice was like that for every time she spoke, then a lot more people will start to like her. =) |
| They all looked so beautiful |
