 Stupid Ayato,you've just lost your opportunity to bang Claudia. |
| I wonder if Claudia was either trolling Ayato or was actually serious with him. If it's the latter, then Ayato missed out on such a hot babe. >_< The majority of the episode was focused mostly on Ayato and Julis in the city. It's a bit unusual to see someone like Julis getting excited over a cheap and cheerful fast food restraunt like WcDonald's. She liked their food though. ^_^ On a more serious note, I do have sympathy for her, trying her best to help her friends back in her home country. I'd do anything to help keep that orphanage going if I was in her shoes, as seeing the kids being forced to return to the slums would be very depressing. Overall, a very good episode and it's nice to see Julis warming up to Ayato pretty quickly, which is a slight surprise. The more I listen to the ED song, the more I love it. This, as well as the OST in general, is excellent! |
| Well looks like it's getting interesting :) Julis backstory, Ayato finding his resolve... And looks like he's gonna kick some ass next EP, which is nice. That ED is God Tied though <3 |
| this is turning to be pretty good Julis <3 |

ElectricRed said: Well, Ichika...... I mean Ayato was a typical Harem Protagonist, he has not guts towards the ladies.. He gets embarrassed easily and stuff.. But, I am glad he is not a total wimp though Also, damn Julis is a hardcore tsundere (Not louise category though), and she resembles like Shirou Emiya in the Fate Route who happens to get his ass kicked every single time, because he wants to rely on his own power similar to Julis People who think Julis a tsundere is misunderstanding. A tsundere is a person who is not honest with him or herself and does something opposite of what they're thinking. Julis is arguably, slightly more to a Kuudere with her cool and anti-social personality with a lot of the 'iron-will' personality. Heck I read the LN and so far she's blunt with her words and actions which is really the opposite of what a Tsundere does. It's arguable but I don't really think she is a Tsundere let alone a hardcore one like Shana, Louis, Claire or any of the tsundere from the typical harem animes. |
| Like Julis a bit more after this episode. |
talentlessash said: I like how they spent the previous episode introducing a character that doesn't even appear in the background this episode. Oh so sad... She may or may not appear next episode. The manga showed a different development. it's possible it may develop the same, but just a little later. I don't want to spoil anything. I guess I can hint that he had no idea where Julis went before jumping off that building. I mean, it's a given that she's not on campus so that was indeed the quickest way out the building; but to go after her without knowing where she is... |
| Give me at least 5 minutes to modify my post before quoting me. (refreshing page advised) |
| I knew it. 4 episodes per LN volume. I'm glad that they're not rushing through things. Get ready for a decent battle followed by half an episode of expositions and aftermath wrap up. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I actually enjoy reading through the expositions in the novels. :P Given the amount of time we have next episode though, I wouldn't be surprised if they teased volume 2 a bit. And yes, Saya will return next episode, she's the catalyst for Atayo finding Julis. I can't remember how it was in the manga, but if they're following the LN, then she'll be there. Also, I agree with Azai-kun above. Julis may be blunt and straightforward with shooting her mouth off, but she's no Tsundere. She just has a very realist view on her situation as puppet royalty for a minor country under control of the European Bloc, even reading the events they showed this episode, you could tell that she has a good, practical head on her shoulders. She just can't be bothered to deal with troublesome people, is all. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| I don't know what to say, just... gay MC confirmed. |
| I still like Cav better than this show, but I am enjoying this series. The fact that it has 2 cour is a point for it, and the overarching plot just seems more interesting to me than Cavs so far. Other than that, Cav is still my favorite. Long story short, I like this show, Cav is also good, they have their differences... even if they are few. |

| Why are people complaining about alpha male or the MC is gay kind of thing? If in real life situation, you meet a girl you just met and she wants to sleep with you, doesn't that mean she's a slut? Because she probably have offered herself to MANY other guys in her life, and you're probably her #50 she have sex with. I'd say that sex is with someone with you actually know and love, why would you fuck someone who probably have fucked tons of guys before you? That's disgusting. |

Ayato sure is a wise guy. |

Tell it to him xD That's... actually pretty awesome. XD It certainly is a great ED. Also, front doors? Ayato needs not these paltry means of entrance. Or exit... is it a cliffhanger if the protagonist jumps off the cliff himself? |
| This was a fun date like episode! I laughed when Ayato ran away from Claudia! I still want more info on the backstory of him and his sister. These little flashbacks are starting to drive me nuts. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| So after 3 episodes I kinda don't like it. Pro's - Art Con's - Characters Just too many cliche's for me. MC is suppose to be a super badass guy but is oblivious. I hate Julis' character so much, she's shitty one moment then she's giggly the next. I don't mind the President and his childhood friend though. Then there's the 'gang', relentless leader stirring up shit all the time... Gonna continue watching it, only giving it 6/10 at the moment. |
| I'll have to keep watching to see if this MC maintains his absolutely top shelf idiocy. Seriously, that scene with the letter and then his immediate realisation that it probably has something to do with her being targeted after being told "it might not be a good thing", but not before that... just wow. Blew my mind. Maybe I should move to japan and renew my aspirations as an author. I couldn't do a worse job if I tried. |

Err.... actually this is fault of adaptation, on this point he already talked with Claudia about his suspicious and he point out things that are wrong, but the studio decided to not show this. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: This isn't really the author's fault though. Ayato already figured out who the culprit is by this point and went to inform Claudia as soon as possible. So this is yet another one of those hundreds of bad LN adaptations? I thought Rakudai was pretty bad on its own, yet this episode made me think Rakudai is actually a decent show. |

| I have a HUGE FEELING that Claudia is hiding something, working underground for a certain main antagonist's organization or something. Maybe a persona. I don't know damn it but it's bugging me and it's making me uncomfortable. Maybe she's the one responsible for the loss/'MIA' status of Ayato's sister. Someone please spoil me either by PM or commenting on my profile. I can't wait anymore lol. Please, someone, who reads the LN, have mercy on me. |

I don't feel like, its just, impossible to put all contents from a LN in anime version they are really trying thought. Since you mentioned Rakudai, they skipped a whole fight in the classroom so... |
| I like this kind of shows, where you watch it and enjoy what happens. The wait for EP4 begins. |
 |
| I can't wait for next week episode's thread. |
| Backstory? Nah, just some OP lolis and shotas to the rescue. Julis got protectzoned. |

| Sigh. what a dull mc. He should have bang her when he had the chance. |

| Who'd run away from Claudia good lord. Excited for Ayato to go ham. I love the ed, everytime the episode ends, the ed just slots in perfectly. |
 |
| I can't believe it this anime is tensing up, I really wanna see the fourth episode. Or well rather just because the fight will be awesome I guess. |
 |
| Should've taken the reward. |
 |
| Take the reward you damn wuss :/ |
 |
| 3 episodes in and it looks pretty good. Going to put this on hold until 2nd season is a few days away :) |
Sanaas said: *watches the ending* S P L A T It won't happen, you know.. |
| Episode that is not bad overall, only that the narrative without being boring, and while not anything wrong in the construction of the story, however, is a little addictive. Drawings and animations of good quality, as quality discrete sets, catchy soundtrack, the same can be said of the opening and the ending. I hope it will improve significantly in the coming episodes. llcruz said: That umbrella! Hnnggg I agree. |

| Even in anime McDonald's looks better than in real life. |
