| wish to have a better episode at #9 |
| Sorry For my Bad English ^_^ |
This episode did a excellent job in being funny with fan service. It also did a amazing job at giving despite the little plot development it had going, a good view of things moving a little towards plot progression. This is all in regards to Houki and her sister Tabane. This being said, I make it officially the new IS my favorite one so far. Thee Aka Tsubaki, now that looks like a amazing IS! About Tabane, I love seeing her face in the spoiler About Houki, it looks like thanks to her speaking with her sister gave us a nice glimpse into development. She looked really irritated at Tabane’s joking around with her. Upon seeing Laura and Ichika wrestling out with Laura being completely naked, Houki’s face in the spoiler Avarice said: I guess we have the double calm before the final blow out at the end, I was so right that the fight in the beginning was really thee end of this season's series.PLOT. PLOT. And more PLOT. Well, this looks to be the calm before the storm before proceeding to the battle we saw in the beginning of episode 1. The fanservice is out of the way (for the most part) and the show is back to moving the pl-- wait, wat a hot springs episode is next? |

| My body was not ready for this episode. Too many HNNNNNNGGGG worthy moments to count, although Laura and her swimsuit stole the show. Also, I approve of the redhead becoming the kouhai character of the show. :3 |

| Laura MOE!! Nice Reactions Jealousy and Embarrasment are the most interesting to watch |

| F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-Fanservice. So Laura is very cute but... she looks like more like a little sister in her swimsuit with her ponytails x_x She was better in her "bad" mode. So Ichika blushes while seeing his own sister in swimsuit.. what the f... |
Charliehsv said: My body was not ready for this episode. Ditto that 110%! Even Chifuyu got into it and her swimsuit was like 0_0 (Wowzer). |
 |
| This show is so ridiculous, but I just can't stop watching it :P And holy crap, Orimura Sensei is so hot. |
| Seriously, WTF is wrong with this piece of shit "plot". But... but... I still love this T_T |
 |
| Ran, Pikachu-Girl and espacially Laura made this episode for me ^^ Ran's appearance was unexpected, but I totally enjoyed it, too bad she is only a side-character. Laura was just to much hnnngggg in this episode  |
 |
I watch IS for the PLOT... not really! forgive me charlotte, but laura is so loli i cant help myself but stare at her! XD the week's highlight. LOLI LAURA, twin tail... my nose is bleeding.. darn... charlotte still is my fave, Sharurotto = win what is Pi? LOL down left, what the heck is she doing... ( ﾟ∇ ﾟ) crack is bad for your health, look at what happened to lin and cecilia. lol. yandere eyes... last words for this week's IS: charlotte and laura = :3  PS: houki's big sis, said "your IS is even match for the white one". Is it Ichika's IS or the IS that they were fighting at episode 1? |

| Wow how ridiculous can this become. Why don't they just stop prentending there's a plot and turn this into hentai. That would actually make it good. |
| Hmm, does he have a siscom or something? |
| Charlotte is SO FCKING AWESOME or should i say "Char" 3/5 for this episode. not that great. Charlotte made this episode quite enjoyable tho |
  |
| Anyone notice how short Laura is? I could swear she was Ichika's size at some point...Also, if his excuse for being totally oblivious to his harem is some sister complex, I'll really start to question this guy. |

| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| We finally see Ran! And she's transferring to the IS school. If only the anime stretched further to accommodate her, as I like her with Ichika (only after Charlotte!, of course) Am I the only one who thought, when Rin was sinking, "kanashimi no umi ni shizunda watashi, me o akeru no mo okkuu. kono mama doko made mo ochite yuki dare ni mo mitsukerarenai no ka na"? As in the song "Deap-Sea Girl" or "Shinkai Shoujo" by Miku Hastune? No? And another comment on this part... how cliche is getting a leg cramp and a guy saving you? Infinite Cliches strikes again |
EvidentlyMar 3, 2011 7:49 PM
| I wouldn't have enough fingers to count how many times I rolled my eyes this ep...dense male harem leads FTL |
| so this IS like a mecha show.. they even have a new CHAR.. hehe.. Charlotte FTW!! and Shinonono Tabane = Yukarin.. YES!! to dat voice.. also, Chifuyu-nee is so damn hot, guess we can't help if somebody's a siscon.. Laura being too cute is kinda disappoint.. i like "bad" Laura more.. i admit to her extreme MOE levels this episode though.. Plot? who cares about it if it's the beach episode.. |
| Well then. That was unexpected. :U |
 |
| I'm actually starting to think they may be doing this on purpose...what are the chances that this is really a parody anime? |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| So if what Charlotte said about Ichika is true does that mean that soon we will see him chasing Chifuyu in the ED? Makes you wonder doesn't it..... |
| A beach episode with an anime whos cast is made up of basically all females...now this is a filler i can tolerate. |
 |

| Liked how cute Charlotte was, but didn't like how Laura's personally changed so drastically. She's not even the same person anymore. |
werr-y said: Hmm, does he have a siscom or something? yeah, probably! |
Continuing from last post. This is my personal ranking in the order the characters appear in whom had the best in advantage over enticing Ichika with lust/romance. Obviously Laura is first. About Laura, oh man and man! She owns this episode simply because of what happened in the spoiler face when she woke up and marvel at device to summon her IS. Since it is quite unique compared to others that are more common such as earrings (Cecilia) and a necklace (Charlotte). Laura sure got shot trough at all this swimsuit business. Lovely emblem of her HQ. I find it well designed for what it looks like a black rabbit with a machine gun and bullet chain. It is perhaps a little corny that everyone at the base looks like Laura. Perhaps they are all human soldiers engineered artificially. The commander of that HQ was so adorable with her blush. I laughed so hard at her swimsuit suggestion in the spoiler I am guessing that she was so enticed in lala land by Ichika’s comment on her swimsuit that she got the volleyball in her face. Despite that her shy face was the best after her sleepy one in the beginning of the episode. In the end she ran away due to a over emotional shy complex getting worse but came back with a very cute face. Now I find that change of personality a little strange. From a serious nasty evil pain inflicting bitch to something that is amazingly cute, playful and daring is just so sudden. Therefore consistency was missing big time in this. About Charlotte, now it’s obvious she would be right after Laura. Charlotte at first was really surprised at something but quickly whatever it may be she forgave Ichika by a simple “Hold my Hand” and in regards to that, Ichika had such a ease of doing it that it made it look like they understand each other as well as get along more than other girls. Only Rin equals that so far. Upon hearing Ichika giving her a name other than Charles she got easily into a very nice happy face and had such a nice scene with her imagination of a perfect happy moment with Ichika. So shiny moment. Oh boo to Charlotte for interrupting Ichika talking to Ran. Charlotte was so cute blushing hard because of her embarrassment to change in front of Ichika. Her swimsuit in the spoiler Rest in spoiler |

| Wtf he likes his sister too? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

nznznz said: Wow how ridiculous can this become. Why don't they just stop prentending there's a plot and turn this into hentai. That would actually make it good. I have to agree! This was totally ridiculous. Laura's voice and personality have totally changed...just like Cecelia's did in the beginning. Ichika being oblivious to what's going on around him is just making me crazy! WTF is going on with the plot?? Have the writers forgotten about the unmanned drone that attacked Ichika and that fanged girl several eps back? Can we get back to that please??? |
 |
| A nice beach episode though the animation was really bad on Cecilia during the one part with the oil. Charlotte goes by Char, I admit gundam popped into my mind. Laura changed so much that I hope I can get used to it in time for the end. She also looked really different with the twin-tails. |
  |
| Very bad animation in this episode but quite funny. Charlotte = Char. LOL |
| NO I WILL NO ACCEPT IT. Ichika does not have a sister complex. Also I DID NOT expect Houki's sister to be like that. Completely the opposite of what I thought. Ever since Ichika saved Laura, her personality has COMPLETELY changed. She doesn't have that aura that says she is the best. Now she is this little girl, who tries to make Ichika happy...like Rin and Cecelia. And also what was with that beach clothe. That was like a pikachu or wolf suit. |
 |
| Laura made a 180. Houki didnt even get a chance to seduce Ichika Rin almost DROWNED! Cecilia punched Ichika Charlotte got a nickname and held Ichikas hand. I think Char won this round |
     |
| Wow this is probably the worst episode of any anime that I have ever watched. I'm completely astounded by the fact that it's even possible to be this bad. Nothing but filler fan-service (at the beach nonetheless), characters that have a completely new personality and Ichika who is oblivious to the fact that every girl wants his wonder wand. His idiocy reminds of whaterever-his-name-was from School Days. I want to die now. |
 |
| Yanderes!! <3 Perhaps the best fan-service episode I have ever seen. No mushycrap cheesiness, so I didn't even make an imprint of my face on the table from headdesking! Every day is great when I don't kill a quarter of my brains cells doing that. Once again Laura and Charlotte take center stage. Laura= Cold personality + rare Deredereness = Win Charlotte = Innocent girl + Comspiring temptress = Win So full of win. |
| Typical fanservice-y beach fun; kinda generic, but I've seen a lot worse. Laura's personality switch is still a bit drastic, but I'll give her some leeway just because she was so dang cute. Just about everyone else got a piece of Ichika action as well, except for Houki. Speaking of which, someone needs to cut that girl a break already. She's still my favorite out of all of the girls and it kinda sucks that her role as tsundere/childhood friend more or less relegates her as the straight man to everyone else's more aggressive approach. With regards to Charlotte's nickname, just add it to the other Gundam references in this show. |
| Ha-cha! |
Confucius said: Although hard to believe, I think he might have a sister complex despite lots of refusal may I ask what other reason he has for reacting the way he did to seeing Chifuyu in a swimsuit. I highly doubt it is appreciation anymore.Wtf he likes his sister too? |

Sort of an "objectively speaking, my sister's pretty hot" kinda thing. |
| Ha-cha! |
LightningRamiel said: OK you got me that, I will agree with you. It could be a good reason. Maybe since Chifuyu was always busy he never got the chance to see her in a swimsuit. I see what you think there.Yumekichi11 said: Confucius said: Although hard to believe, I think he might have a sister complex despite lots of refusal may I ask what other reason he has for reacting the way he did to seeing Chifuyu in a swimsuit.

I think Char won this round Agreed. I think Team Char got a victory out of this one, with Laura a close 2nd. I dont know but he just seems more...active or something around her. |
| Not usually a fan of fanservice only episodes (hated ep.8 of Freezing for example) but damn was this episode so HNNNNNNNGGG!! One of the best episodes although I am terribly saddened by the lack of Houki! Chalotte looked the best in her swim suit. Damn Ichika your such a dunce! Go for Char char |
 |
heheheheheheh..... they got BUSTED!!! |
| Funniest episode yet , I didn't really see it as to much fanservice just a swimsuit episode with hilarious harem fights. About laura why is she nervous about showing her swimsuit ,but not her naked body. About Celia why is she upset he say her boobs but wanted him to rub her ass? |
Villetta_Nu said: And it's not just Laura and Cecelia; Charlotte, whom was kind of sweet and innocent before, is now showing jealousy over Ichika (for God who knows why..) just like every other female lead in this show.nznznz said: I have to agree!

WTF is going on with the plot?? Have the writers forgotten about the unmanned drone that attacked Ichika and that fanged girl several eps back? Can we get back to that please??? Need we say anymore about Ichika? He's already one of the biggest retards in anime history. As for the plot, I think the writings forgot it existed while they were busy drooling over the characters they'd just drawn. But seriously, come on, after 9 episodes of nothing we have episode 10 coming up with... more nothing. Now you just watch they'll throw a season 2 at us. >_> |
