Oh boy, trouble before the tournament...why am I not surprised?
About damn time they get this started though. Looks like Mio improved! Akane was OP as well.
Pretty disappointed with this episode. That idiot decided to become begleiter and it is quite evident that he will be Mio's in the finals against Celia. I hate writers for taking Mio's route even though she is most annoying character along with Lisa's friend in all these series.
The moment Takahiro said i will become a begleiter and Mio turned up i was thinking no please no bit it turned out to be alright, in effect he gave all of them advice when he left.
The question is will Takahiro still be in time to help someone out with their match since he is currently busy dealing with that horse that went on labour.
The matches where nice even tho they went pretty fast, seems Akane hurt her arm tho and will have trouble with the next match.
Guess we will have to wait and see.
And what a cop out with Takahiro, first he says hes not gonna be a knight. Then says hes ganna be a begleiter, but lets all of the girls enter the tournament without a begleiter, or even saying who he chooses.
They dragged this begleiter thing for far too long
just tell us who the knight is already...
Btw, Walkure Romanze More & More is a disappointment
Even the likes of Bertille got her route but not Fiona and Mireille
What manner of blasphemy is this?
Mio is such the crappy character. She is only jousting because she likes the the MC with no balls. So this anime shows that annoying people who only care about themselves can win over someone who has pure devotion to the "sport". Why oh why did I bother not dropping this sooner.
Looks like it's a Celia vs Mio final. We all know Takahiro will choose Mio but I hope Celia wins the tournament. A rookie with a great coach can only go so far against someone with years of jousting experience. But then again: asspull > logic.
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."
good episode, finally the tournament has started, about time, we all know it will be about mio vs celia in final, and mio will win with takahiro. i would be really surprise if my expectations are wrong, lets see with the 2 episodes remaining
Well that was a bit of a cock tease. Takahiro ready to reveal who his knight will be and then gets dragged off. I kind of wish Celia could win in the end but since the story involved Mio from the start she seems like the clear winner in the end.
Oh Takahiro.... I really thought he was going to pick someone there. Still sucks that he didn't decide to be a knight though.
Woohoo! So glad Akane beat Lisa. I would've been so mad if Akane lost there. Unfortunately, from the preview, it looks like she's going to lose and it's gonna be Mio vs. Celia in the last round :(.
lol i see where this is going...
I was so happy when Akane won though...
DAT "Triple Attack" was so anticipated for me though. I just had I feeling something like that would happen...
I'm sorta leaned towards the whole... Takahiro X Akane thing... but then again...
anyone except Noel and Mio is fine w/ me...
If Mio wins, the whole tournament... omg I swear this anime is rigged xD

Idd, we should never underestimate power of the asspull.
"Knight im going to serve is...* HORSE GOES TO LABOR PLOT TWIST!!* *sigh*
This is laaaaaame.Takahiro didnt make comeback as knight.
Seriously, what a disappointing and somewhat predictable episode.
The MC, besides being his indecisive self, is inconsiderate and coward by avoinding the answer that all the girls wants to be answered, especially in the day of the match. And then he spouts that bullcrap speech to avoid the tension moment again.
This guy gave us hope that he would man up and be a jouster, but in the end, he opts to chose the boring and stupid backup role aka begleiter. In my opinion Takahiro, shouldnt even be a begleiter, he should be a vet or a horse caregiver.
Predictions??? Like many said, Takahiro choosing Mio in the final match and winning against Celia (cliched and predictable ending)! -.-
Ok, so Takahiro has decide to give up being a knight again and become a begleiter, so who will He pick..........Pls, be Mio, pls be Mio, pls be Mio, pls be Mio and not anybody else.
Shit I can't believe that both Akane and Lisa has also gotten into 'I want you to be my begleiter" fray.
You know, they could perform a C-section on that pregnant horse, I don't about you guys but here in Oaxaca Mexico, we don't need no veterinarian to do a C-section on horses co'z all Vaqueros here are experience enough to do it.
To bad for Lisa, but at least she was able let Akane have some damage on herself.
Was hoping Takahiro would become Lisa's begleiter. Guess that isn't happing now. I honestly hope Mio doesn't win, not that I don't like her or anything. Just I feel either Akane, Noel, or the reigning champion Celia are more deserving.
Seems I was right with that triple attack haha. Otherwise, that episode was pretty disapointing. 10 episodes and we still don't know who it is! Okay we all know it will be Mio at the very last moment of the tournament (I hope I'm wrong).
So he still hasn't answered, but he gave a speech >.>
The outcomes were kind of predictable, but it was a good match nonetheless.
Personally I want Noel vs Mio for the final match and for Noel to win, in this scenario I also think Mio would beat Cecilia with the help of Takihiro. It will most likely be Cecilia vs Mio for the finals though.

Seriously. Why the asspull? Do some people drop the show if a girl is chosen who they don't like or something?! Why prolong it?
I suppose it's going to be predictable as it gets, and he'll be Beileiter for first girl Mio at the last match against Celia. Yawn.
during im agree with u on some points and i wouldnt stop the show because a girl is chosen, i mean harem=hope for all girls, i guess it would kill the whole show? i mean what the others girls are suppose to do when a girls is chosen? the show is built totally on this, they cant choose someone like this, and yeah it get on my nerves too really often, i agree
A Celia x Akane ending would be awesome, but that means Takahiro and Mio can go make bland and slightly stupid kids together :P Other than that I don't see all the Mio hate. Fiona is by far less interesting and less appropriate as the main girl. Sure Noel would be a better main girl but at least Mio isn't a violent bitchy tsundere or super clingy like a lot of main girls in anime these days.
Expect to see Mio and Celia in the finals, and hopefully this utterly random and pointless diversion with the pregnant horse will be done in time. Honestly, the timing is so contrived ... and what's he even doing there anyway? He's not helping at all, just standing there like a useless pile of bricks (which for the most part has been his role in this anime, it's really been all about the girls, he's more or less a stick with hair they've been fighting over).
I was being optimistic at first, but giving this piece of shit a 2/10 is generous.
Takahiro is a bland indecisive MC, and mio is fucking annoying.
I can't understand the people who voted "loved it" in the poll
"I can't be a knight after all..." why?
Wasn't being a knight your dream? Would you sacrifice your dream to support some random chick's (most likely Mio's) dream?
Takahiro, you sir just surpassed Ichika as the dumbest MC this season.
