| I still think low of this series but that MC falling down scene was cool so I'd be watching this for a while. shanimebib said: While they did the fight scene better (the leap of faith was a fantastic addition), it lost a bit of the impact as that tattooed guy didn't even have time to react as Ikki took out both of his arms in one slash. Ikki's words that followed was pretty based as well: "Those wounds are nothing for what you made Stella do; I could have taken out your legs and it still wouldn't have been enough." or something along those lines iirc. Oh, that leap part which made me decide to follow this series... just an addition? Silver Link knows how to improve fight scenes. Still it seems like we can't have perfect adaptations like in Prisma Illya, not that I read the novel of this. |

| I love this show so far, it uses battle-harem tropes but using them in a very pleasant way. Definitely one of my tops of the season thus far. It also deserves to be within the 1000s as well heh heh. |
| That was great. Truly enjoyable action. Alice is a maiden at heart just like I thought. He's pretty cool with his shadow manipulation. Ikki is awesome, I am just so glad that he doesn't hesitate cutting down jerks. That's refreshing. We all know Stella is moe and brave. Okay, I lose, Shizuku is pretty cute as well, she was great there with that barrier. |

Nidhoeggr said: So far it hasn't been anything other than the same lame and tired plot devices and Ln tropes sewn together in another Frankenstein horror package of meh. The same plot devices and LN tropes perhaps, but they aren't sewn together in a frankenstein horror package, nor are they drawn out in a way that becomes physically painful. It's actually a very classical way to put together an episode like this. Maybe you confused this with Asterisk where everything is forced and most of the reactions characters have to things don't make any sense beyond being required for the story to progress in the fashion the author wishes. |
| Another great episode. Man, this season just isn't disappointing at all, is it? |
| Ohhh that date rejection |

 |
| This anime makes me cringe, but it has some decent moments too. |
| Every episode, this just distances itself from Asterisk in my mind. Still enjoy them both, but this one is just so much better each time. Wish it was the one getting a second season(Assuming there is enough material). |
 |
| Impressing fight scene, more than I would've expected for a typical magic/school/harem/romance LN adaptation. More importantly thought, I'm liking the relationship build-up between Ikki & Stella. |
| YES!!! Best ep so far from this show!!! The comedy and the action was ON POINT!!! |
 |
| Another swaggy MC. Not that I'm complaining. The jumping down scene was so cool. In another note, Stella is so freaking cute. |

| Gotta love the type of fanservice where the girl is in an awful situation, but her body is being exploited and the scene is obviously meant to titillate the viewers. Talk about being tone-deaf. Bleh. |
| Wow what a great action battle in the second half of the episode! Really liking Alice's personality this week and his powers are cool. I hope Ikki beats that pompous ass into the ground when they battle! |
| 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! |
| Haha this show is amazing :D I love how he just removed color recognition, what is he the Terminator? And whats he got inside a Pentium 1 chip processor? Also those eye twitches where just ridiculous, I couldnt help but burst out laughing by how stupid that was. Idk why they thougt it would be badass cause its just stupid. What can I say this show is pretty enjoyable albeit for the wrong reasons. But hey better be funny bad than boring bad like Asterisk right? |

The part of eyes twitching its anime only, his eyes don't need do that to convert his perceptions. About Asterisk, well its you opinion after all(unnecessary in this context but...), to me its enjoyable since the fights starts in the next episode. |
| The eyetwitch is perfect example of good visual representation of what is going on. It is a great way to represent him taking in the information. Just one of many things that made that scene have damn masterpiece level of choreography. |
 |
| Hype is real. Now we just need Ikki to just slaughter Kirihara please. |
 |

| That falling scene was pretty cool. Ikki being a badass and doesn't hesitate to cut down his opponents. Hopefully he slaughters that annoying guy next episode |
 |
| I almost dropped this last week after the bath scene and generic incest but this episode has redeemed it. More of this please. |
| [size=90]How come this feels different than the 2 previous episodes :s The fight scene was awesome, & Stella has some guts to actually strip Alice and Ikki moments heh> Stella is so adorable >/////<  |
  |
| Stella and Ikki make a beautiful couple. Great episode with action, fanservice (not useless as in the first episode of "Heavy Object")and a amazing animation. |
| Dammit when is the OP gonna be up on nyaa?! |
 |
| Stella got curves alright. Sweet action. Wonder how next episode will compare. |
 |
| The first half of the episode was nice, but I was beginning to think maybe the series was losing its charm. Then the second half happened and went full hype. YEEHAW! More Stella fan service plz. |

| In the second episode I was slightly disappointed due to the directer taking out the part where Ikki is able to hone his senses by removing perception of colour, but this episode added that info perfectly and seemlessly, I would even say better than the original work, I'm very impressed. |
| Staaaaaare o_o |
| This anime is purely like Mahouka in full ecchi mode. I love it! :D |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Very good episode! Definitely turning into one of my favorites of the season :) |
| The fight scene in this episode was awesome to watch (wish I could've learn how to dodge bullets in high school...) |
| Shizuku getting the upper hand to Ikki while Stella is always jealous. Stella always her "geboku" servant reason just to sway the argument that she likes Ikki. Stella so sekushi! did she really have to strip so that she could show-off her ecchi body!? Nagi Arisuin seems to be a unique character with a very useful shadow-bind power. Shizuka although he helped the group on that crisis situation seems to be on the arrogant villain type of personality side and it seems that he and Ikki already knew each other and have their own history. He will be also the next one to fight against Ikki. 4/5. |
 |
| Have to agree with everyone else's reviews about this series so far. It's so enjoyable and love the chemistry between Ikki & Stella. You can feel something between them, it's like they're made to be together since the beginning. 5/5 as always. |
| Wow. ahahah How did they manage to put fanservice in the middle of a supposed tense hostage situation? Though it's clearly better than Gakusen Toshi Asterisk so far... THAT whip cream scene doe ;) |

| I have to admit, I was starting to wonder if it was just going to be harem-esque antics for the next 10 episodes up until the battle. Ikki was pretty bad ass, that free fall had some really good angles and made it seem like I was plunging right on down with him. This reminded me of Machine-doll and Seirei Tsukai initially but I like how it's taking its own shape now. As for the part where Stella had to strip down, it's interesting how it was able to invoke feelings of frustration rather than coming off as a demented fan-service scene (although no denying how gorgeous she is). |
 |
| I'm somewhat sad because they downplayed Alice too much, but I understand the time problem. (the part when Ikki and Stella are confused about she being a woman and when Ikki acknowledges that, apologizes and start to refer to her with ''she'') Everything else was done so well! |
drama_menck said: The protagonist in his badass moment:  That casual attack-drop walk-off from the upper floor was fantastic! A 5/5 moment in an otherwise average episode. |
  |
| If only terrorist attacks could end up like this in real life... :| Terrorist attack? Time to introduce a school rivalry! Gotta love dem LN logic. Oh Japan... They sure have a humiliation fetish. It's in every of these damn show. Though, the whole fight was cool. I hate those dumbass villain, that look just way too cliche. On the other hand, it just make it more satisfying when they get rekt. |

| The characters rather than the plot, managed to whet my interest, sympathetic narrative, he died when Stella has covered his face with the cream as if he had a beard of Santa Claus. The end with the bad guys, it was so boring, level designs and animations not bad. Good soundtrack! End-card passable. |

Comander-07 said: LOL, you are right :D Well they are not the same but they do give the same feeling (more or less).This anime is purely like Mahouka in full ecchi mode. I love it! :D |
 |
| Fairly okay episode, action wise it was pretty good! Let's see what's next though! |
 |
RafaelDeJongh said: Now you're getting to it :PFairly okay episode, action wise it was pretty good! Let's see what's next though! |
 |
| That second part was actually good action wise! Kirihara looks like the douche bag of the series though. :/ |
 |
| Fabulous action there.. woots! I don't get how she thinks Ikki's strongest cause he beat her. Shadow dude is by far strongest in my eyes though. |
| Nice episode. I like Stellas reaction to the hug. Refreshing to see a heroine, who doesn't get angry and beats the shit out of the MC. |
