I wonder how everyone in town knows about Rin and Sia. I'm glad Asa stayed calm in the end.

I dunnoo~ I think everything's falling apart for everyone; Rin and Shia included. Because of that rumour (I don't realize how it spread with everyone knowing what they looked like, too, considering Rin's just a normal and I guess lucky guy) everyone fell into a bit of a depression. This came to light when Nerine and Rin went for a walk and then his depression lead to Shia's depression. The end of the episode somewhat made up for it, but it'll be interesting to see where it goes from here.

Ahhh ... Sia got so close, but I guess the decision she makes was the right one. Although it will be interesting to see how it plays out from here.

Yes, that is what happened. Congrats for understanding the episode.
Lol sorry, just these silly summary posts are kind of rediculous.

OK I seriously feel SOO BAAD for Kaede... She deserves Rin much more than any of the other girls, and its seriously making this series very emotional.
But I love it.
It's not a harem that just accepts the fact that harems can happen without any sadness. Can't wait to see the rest. And please Kaede... come out ahead.

When I was watching the first ten episodes of the show I was pondering over what I should write about it, or if I should write about it. Then I thought about how the MAL forums never cease to amuse me, and here I am.

I can't believe that people actually care about any of the girls in this show. They all were introduced like *snap*, just like the fucking dating sim that this abomination of an anime is based on. Even if I could ignore the super-lame backgrounds of the harem members and the standard douchebag protagonist... what's with the "devils" and "gods"? I can live without having everything explained to me in the first episode, but the show is almost halfway through and the devil/god thing has served no purpose whatsoever.

I'm gonna keep watching tho. It kinda reminds me of Sekirei. Crap show - but I had a lot of fun trashing it.

Hm... I feel a bit of hatred going on here on the discussion post. Well, if anyone still comes on to these forums to discuss this show, and you're thinking of dropping it, do not. The start of the show is definitley slow,but it's because we're trying to get a general backstory set up here. Choose your favorite, decide who Rin should get with, et cetera et cetera.
And, there is still a much bigger story line ahead, if you didn't notice Sia's reflection smirk at her, as I see nobody else has. Anticipating it yet?
Think of it like a marathon. Everything has to start somewhere. And just because it doesn't start out well, doesn't necessarily mean it won't go out with a bang.

Dude, I can't believe nobody's brought up how pathetic the mc in this show is. He goes on a date with nenirin and for the entire fucking day, all he says is, "h-hey" LITERALLY THAT IS ALL HE SAYS......I'm seriously wishing for all the girls to realize that they could do better than this ball-less, clueless wimp and have all of them dump him....

If I'm not mistaken, two of the girls fell in love with him because they both hAppened to "meet him that one time I was a kid" .....and kanae fell in love with him because she got to be his bitch slave for 11 years......totally believable, and not an insult to my intelligence (sarcasm)

I think that it was super sweet and considerate of Sia to stay friends.
Even if the anime plot is shallow like most of you say this ecchi is really different from the rest, the girls here are very considerate of each other and actually friends and not just suffer from each others company for the sake of the guy.
Even though I really don't see Rin's opinion in the whole story, I mean, dude, don't you have a favorite? Or at least a mouth? It feels like he's an NPC of the girls or something, he has no personality, no attitude, all he does is blush around the girls and feel bad for them, feels kind of empty to me... Well maybe it will get better with time.

Exactly my thoughts. I'm getting pissed on this episode because of Rin. He's already aware of everyone's feelings except Asa's yet he's still going along and in the end, he still can't fucking decide. He knows and I know also that if he choose one, the rest will hurt but it's damn the same goes for if he still haven't choose because he's just going to increase their expectations.

Maybe I'm asking too much for a harem series. But on how they portrayed the protagonist on this series is starting to piss me off.

You know, this entire episode I was wondering why they never mentioned how the world of God's allows polygamy, and Sia's dad himself has three wives.

In the game, it was mentioned over and over how they would get married in the world of the god's so they could all be his wives. The competition there was more for 'first wive.'

Anyway, I wonder if they mention that later, or if they cut it out to make a more emotional tone for the series.

So far no one's even shown a hint of competition or jealousy and remained in a "Rin belongs to everyone" mindset. It was interesting to see the reactions of the different girls despite being a misunderstanding. It just shows how much each one cares about Rin. It was also nice to see how Sia took into consideration the burden of the one being chosen. The misunderstanding was still a bit hard to swallow though, it just seems far fetched that they didn't bother trying to clear it up right away.

This episode was stupid. But the MC is the most stupid. He did nothing to clear the rumors or make things clear to the other girls. He was just going along with the flow. He said nothing to Kaede or Nerine. What the fuck is with this guy?

Rin is a pretty thoughtless MC imo. He is probably one of the worst harem MCs I have seen

Yeah, this part confused me, as well. Almost took me out of the show. Rin even went so far as to say to Nerine "Are you ok with how things turned out?" As if he was already accepting the marriage to Sia after a few dates.

As expected, everything went back to square one. They should've just gotten married IMO.

Hopefully that "evil" persona of hers will make things interesting soon.

This is a rather weird episode. I'm not entirely sure what forced us down this route. But, more than that, why do random people in the street know about the situation but some of the main characters don't?

Alas, it also seemed like a wasted opportunity to not show Kaede's boobs in the bath.

We managed to back-pedal from the Sia route, and now it's anyone's game. Though, probably still just Sia or Nerine.

Worst episode by far in my opinion. Broke up the pace of the show, was just a bummer. Hated how Rin didn't even TRY to set things straight, just went with the flow seemingly accepting that it's what's going to happen now despite how he really feels. HE COULD TELL that the other girls were feeling down about it too. All he had to say was "You know, we're not actually engaged to get married right? Somehow people got it in their heads that we are." He didn't even attempt to figure out where the rumors were coming from, and it wasn't even clear where they came from. It was just really bad. Really bad premise, with terrible execution.

Sia's mirror reflection smirking at her seemed like it should've been more disconcerting for her. She was disturbed for all of a second before her dad barged in, and then it was back to her usual character. I'd bet that most who seen something like that in reality would've brooded on the implications of it for rest of the day at least, and probably would've had their heart rate shoot up dramatically for a while.
