| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh Claudia in that swimsuit. The teasing is inevitable this episode as well as Kirin's shyness. Episode felt pretty slow as we find out more about her. Is it also just me or did A-1 pour their budget into her boobs? Weak episode, hoping pacing picks up from here and they really made a big deal about some food.. |
 |
| Yeah this episode was way too slow until the end dino attack. So Claudia's clearly got mother issues(and big beautiful tits which the show seems determined to remind us of every week.) And Kirin's got father issues, but I still can't bring myself to care about her yet. |
| That dinosaur attack... looks like Kirin fell for Ayato too. meh episode. |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| I was dying during the first few minutes when Ayato was lying down with his shirt half open u_____u So far in the harem I like Julis, don't mind Kirin, but don't like Saya and Claudia :/ Looking forward to what's next after they fell in that hole. I wish Ernesta didn't have to use such underhanded means. |
 |
| Oh c'mon, not a cliffhanger. Tournament when? |
| Damn Kirin is only 13 but has a body like that.....My god lol and Caludia in that bathing suit was too freaking hot xD Episode was more slow paced that usual but I really enjoyed the first half particularly for the characterization of Kirin, Claudia and her uncle as well as some foreshadowing for Claudia whom btw is pretty OP herself because of that Ogre Lux that she has =o The dino stuff was kinda weird considering that they were synthetic but props to Kirin for figuring out how to stop them....It really is impressive to see that she doesn't even use the school weapon and just uses a regular sword....Good episode overall Can't wait to see the inevitable bonding between Saya and Kirin considering that they too share similar goals and are both pretty adorable.....Gotta say that I think they'll be my favorite team because I love their personalities and I respect their ability as fighters the most tbh |

| And I thought we would get an episode them prepping up for the competition. Oh well. Obligatory Claudia service. Its kinda sad Saya just got sidelined. |

| Claudia and Kirin are definitely my favorite girls in this anime ! :3 I initially thought that Kirins sword was one of the schools weapons but I guess not. Hopefully they can help her father, I wanna know what her uncle did... |

| Kirin is just so adorable cute. :D Now Ayato and Kirin fall together to get stuck in underground place, what a way to end it. |

| Meh.... Fiji said: Its kinda sad Saya just got sidelined. The writers probably don't know what to do with her character. I doubt it would have made much of a difference if she was never introduced. |
| i love how people complain about lack of characterization and then complain more when the episodes slow down to provide characterization. are saya and kirin gonna team up for the festa? shirtless ayato when? |
yuiyuigahama said: shirtless ayato when? Yeah, when? Ayato is hot IMO. |
| This was pretty average, good way to end it though. |

Dragon_Slayer_X said: Xenocrisi said: Oh c'mon, not a cliffhanger. Tournament when? In another 2 episodes most probably........i.e. the 3rd volume. Nah, most likely festa tournament will start near the end of this season and end in cliffhanger. Its impossible to animate the festa that takes up 3 volumes in the first 12 episodes after all, thats why they announced another 12 episodes (s2) straightly =(. |
| Kirin is awesome. Best girl confirmed. |
| When an anime gets a 2-cours split, you can have episodes that's only purpose is to create fanservice. Not that I didn't enjoy it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)... 4/5 |
 |
| Ok episode. We get to learn a little more about Kirin. |
| Yay nxt ep is the typical BoyxGirl isolated alone :D Always love those kinds of eps. Kirin's so adorable <3 Julis's curry scene was really cute too. Poor Saya getting rejected :( But well I also think Julis is the better choice. Dat Claudia mizugi *A* |
 |
| The dinosaurs were cute??? |
 |
| Kirin is definitely the best thing that ever happened to this anime at least |
  |
| Good episode, I really like all the girls of this story, this time Kirin stood out and showed his cute side, Julis also showed some great expressions, next episode more fights will come, I look forward to continue watching this adaptation .. |
  |
| Hell yes, more and more Kirin... Next episode Ayato would still be in Kirin's route. I really hope he would pair with Kirin...but I think Sasamiya-Kirin isn't bad either. |

| Really enjoyed this ep. I still like Julis the best. That cliff hanger (or rather cliff falling lol, terrible jokes aside) was awesome. Can't wait for next episode! |
| I'm enjoying this anime a lot more lately. Kirin is very cute and powerful with the sword, i like her. |
yuiyuigahama said: i love how people complain about lack of characterization and then complain more when the episodes slow down to provide characterization. are saya and kirin gonna team up for the festa? shirtless ayato when? Agreed, people are just so picky about everything. I'll rather take a series that flesh out all of its characters over a series that just rush to action all the time. |
| juh juh it turns interesting. 13 years old? really? |
 |
| I like the this episode. I think it's great to slow down the pace in an anime or series every now and again. I really also like how it's sticking the the LN pace and not just rushing through the contents like another certain airing hyped(or was supposed to be) anime. BTW the way, Kirin is only 13? Seriously?!! She REALLY doesn't look it. There's really no justice in this world. |
TheVictor9634 said: 13 years old? really? In some parts of the world the legal age is below 13, and she has the goods ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Kirin is adorable :'( Ayato should take her from her uncle already :( Kawaii <3  [/quote] |
 |
| I have to agree with Kirin, the Dinosaurs were cuter than what was described in the LNs. They are definitely going for a 3 volumes per cour option. Of the 6 novels, I always felt that this second one was the one with the least actually happening from both narrative and expositive point of view, with the introduction of Kirin, the resolution of her issues as well as the Dino fight the only items of note. They did lay quite a lot of groundwork to further the intrigue of the four girls' backstories though, but I feel like with Claudia's Pan-Dora introduction that was suppose to happen at the end of episode 4, a lot of the good stuff actually got skipped for no good reason. Still, next episode is gonna be quite interesting. I'm imagining a plesiosaur, and I wonder if the coming fight will take all episode.... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| The episode looks okay to me, even though it was a little bit slow. and that ending though, cliffhanger again? FIX! Kirin is my favorite character :D |
 |
| Only in anime will you find a 13 year old girl with a body like that..... Well this episode was ok I guess, let's see how Ayato and Kirin deal with this new predicament. |

| Kirin is seriously 13? Fuck off. Bit of a meh episode, but the ending makes things more interesting. |
thebrentinator24 said: Only in anime will you find a 13 year old girl with a body like that..... I personally a few years ago came to attend one girl with her mother when i was working as a receptionist in a hospital, she was 13 years, believe me, its possible. |
| Kirin needs a better personality. She can slice a dinosaur into ribbons before it hits the ground, she shouldn't be the shy girl that is trying to get senpai to notice her. So Allekant is making their move, huh? Gotta wait and see how this turns out. I'm predicting no threat though. |
| Claudia is rocking that swimsuit, daaaaaaaaaaamn <3 |
 |
| KIRIN MASTERRACE! even if she doesn't have those mass of blobs in her chest |
 |
| Much slower episode but still an okay episode with Ayato and his harem, Claudia in that swimsuit...Damn lol The cute curry scene with Julis, and of course the adorable Kirin. Crazy cliffhanger tho, Cant wait to see whats going to happen next episode since this episode was pretty much a lead up to it. Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeqHnT03vWY |

But who knows. As per Claudia she clearly has both issues with the current system and her mother. I still consider her that 'Good guy/Hero' Whos is more the Token Evil Teammate/Nominal hero mixed into one ;3 But she seems loyal enough to those she actually cares about enough not to entirely use. Strong ally.. and bad to have as an enemy. As for the pacing first people bitch its to fast now its bitching that its to slow lol ^^;; They only bitching ive done about it is to bitch that I dislike them splitting the cours like this. But at least we get 24ish episodes of the series so ill take the positive for what it is. Hopefully more will follow as this is a series despite many declaring terrible and generic; that Like Calavary I enjoy so the more adaption the better :D |
