| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm so this episode focuses more on Akeno. I figured they would of eventually did an episode this season to focus on her. Not going to lie though, she looks cute with her hair down quite a bit with Issei this episode. Felt bad for her past though and she also has quite a strict father. Issei has quite a chemistry with Akeno imo this episode though. Like seriously, no wonder she fell for him. |
 |
| No OP song to show buchou's sadness changing into power. Cat sister appearance and got one of the god beast. Main guy is alive (with that medicine). He was able to use that weapon to defeat the enemy. Back to the human world and not finishing summer homework. What the... with those breasts only scene. Dating with fuku-buchou, and met her father. Then she talked about how her mother got killed and father abandoned them because of her black wing. She made bento for her father. New arc starting. |

| Issei dates with Akeno takes place in vol7. Do they skip Vol 6 and jump to Vol 7? This will let us see Rossweisse joins DxD team faster than LN. |
 |
| Bummer that we didn't get to see Rias go berserk but I still liked how this battle concluded....That Thor's Hammer scene was cool but I also liked that it didn't exactly finish Loki off so now the Volume 7 ending thing can remain in tact I guess So this is the famous team that was put together by my boy Vali Lucifer huh....And Fenrir was in their group all along too =o That Arthur dude was pretty cool The date that Issei had with Akeno was way too cute and seeing her back story was pretty sad (Have wait for the subs in order to fully grasp what was being said during it as well as why her mom died) because it looks like her family were really happy together and her mom was so nice TwT I'm really happy that she made up with her dad though (She has his eyes :3) and her scene with Issei in that room was really sweet....Dat fanservice tho and dat kiss!!!!!! Also didn't expect to see that Rias's nephew is the son of that maid lady....I respect her brother for hitting dat ass =P |
| F...F....F...This episode was so damn good it's not even funny anymore~~ I see Oppai clouds in the Sky.... |
| As of 27/7/14 I have decided trap anime Sword Art Online II has more appeal than Mahouka. |

| Nice to see the Akeno date take place, though i think it happens much later in the LN. A lot of events are shuffled around but i'm not complaining. It was also nice to see Akeno finally able to give Isse a smooch without being cock-blocked by Rias. And it was good to see Kiba playing the hero for Tsubaki. That must have solidified her affections for him. Now she can join every other girl in the school in being in love with Kiba (minus Isse's harem of course). Akeno: "What kind of things do you do on a date?" Isse: "Oh you know, eat food, visit the arcade... oh, and I get murdered at the end." |

FallenUndead said: celoer said: dub is crap and what characters are getting replaced with new voice actors? The Dub was really good for Season 1/2 Issei and Akeno have been replaced. The dub shot itself in the foot for having Isssei ALWAYS call Rias by her name thereby making the new drama surrounding him always calling her prez to feel out of the blue when it's the Dub's fault. |
| Well loki got hammer time. A really sweet ep.....akeno date, her past & that kiss.........great ep to end the arc. Btw vali team looks badass. |

AverageFanboy said: Most of the Dub voices were great, the problem was the script. And the name changes, those were just awful. Yes, I came by this show and watched it dubbed First and really enjoyed it. And was so waiting for S3 Dubbed but then they rushed it out and now we have two playing character's who sound so out of place. I'm hoping that I will get use to it but I really liked the past Voice Actor's it suited them really well... I guess it's a wait and see. |

| Wait.... WHAT???? the episode is good but at the same time it jeopardize the existance of any further season avec the next one if there is one o_O |
| bruh |
| Wow this felt a tad rushed...Loki was not able to get away in the LN..interested to see where that goes....The Akeno backstory though short was done well |

| I'm pleasantly surprised we got this Akeno-centric episode at this point in the series. Looking forward to that fight with Saiaorg at some point. |

| An episode focused on Akeno. Loved it |
| mods are cucks |
| The whole fight with Loki was kind of whack to me. I thought I was going to see Rias go ape shit and kick some ass, but oh well. Nice character development form the home girl Akeno. Not only did we get to see her back story, but also her come to terms with it. Wonder what Vali is setting up. Hopefully is epic. 4/5. |
 |
| I felt like High School needed to focus on Akeno for an episode they kind of did it in season 2 with the whole wing thing but It just wasn't enough I liked this episode it was interesting and the stripping was plenty for me :) |
 |
| Good episode. Liked that this episode focused on Akeno. |
 |
| I liked the portrayal of Akeno's development, and thought it was handled well... but they cut Chichigami from the whole process.... other than that, Loki is dead already but placed a curse on them? wtf? I dunno..... even if these changes are Ishibumi approved I'm still having a lot of trouble with the way this season is going.... the power-up progression is completely screwed... 5 -> 6 -> 7 involved leveling up from struggling in a rating game against Sona, to fighting against the to defeating Loki. My opinion is that the power-ups obtained in the fight against Loki are enough for Rias' group to completely stomp the Sitri group in the young devils' rating games, I also think that if the fight against Loki comes before the rating game, then the Sitri group wouldn't have been so surprised(or fearful) about the Gremory group's growth in the 14th volume.... c'mon, if they can kill a god, then mopping up some I dunno... this season is, overall, tough for me. They're really doing a decent job with the adaptation, maintaining character developments and relationship developments. As a LN reader, though, it's really hard to stomach the changes. I figure I'll have to watch this season again, when it's done airing, and try to separate myself from the novels as much as possible to really appreciate it. tldr: I'm conflicted :P |

| Great episode, love the development and bonding with Akeno. l hope future episodes will iterate the light novels had planned, stay on track. These few episodes were good with a few episodes that are out, but some scenes just felt... out of place. Hope the LN is incorporated and followed even more in future episodes. Akeno is love, Akeno is life. |
 |
| I love all the girls, but.. Akeno > all. They stopped focusing on Asia this season, maybe because she was getting too much screentime.. |
| "The breasts of a woman have endless possibilities!" -Azazel |
| Is the author really helping out with this? I find it hard to believe, the changes are awful. I'm trying my best to enjoy this but as an LN reader it's incredibly hard. The whole Rias going berserk felt stupid. Like some poor attempt to add in some last minute drama. Then to find out she was going to kill herself it seems. It was all for nothing since he had a spare Phoenix tear. It just felt like a complete waste of time! The fight with Loki was stupid. He's a God and yet he got beat so easily. Even though Loki didn't have that much time in the LN, at least he didn't look like fodder. The anime hasn't even mentioned that Mjolnir is a replica and not the real thing. I hate how Issei easily picked up the hammer. He couldn't even wield it until he was granted access to it by the breast god. I guess Loki is not coming back. If he does, it's B.S after being hit by Mjolnir. The studio could have just let Vali and Issei fight together making Loki retreat which is what was supposed to happen. The relationship between Akeno and her father was rushed and done poorly. Baraqiel didn't like Issei being near his daughter and didn't accept him. I hated how Akeno accepted her father just like that. If I remember correctly, the whole scene where she revealed her true feeling was supposed to happen when her father was there too. He then understood her pain and they made up. tldr: I don't mind them changing scenes and adding in anime original content but at least do it so that it's good. I feel like this could have been done a lot better. They should have just stuck to the source material and cut out what was needed. |

| Heard about how they are rearranging stuff which is pretty obvious. But still I absolutely loved this episode. Akeno is best grill! |
 |
| (Rias about to go berserk) Me: this should be good -sees phoenix tears roll out- Me: hoe, don't you do it... -dramatic music ends- Me: wth lol |
 |
| Akeno and her Mother are basically twins I can relate to Issei. I often have hallucinations of Oppai covering the skies |
 |
| I laughed so hard when Issei started going on about his new move. Mod Edit: Removed Manga Spoiler. |
