Dat training and food.

Takahiro and Mio better get ready for this upcoming tournament. Seems like Takahiro's past isn't very pleasant anyways so hoping for some pleasant memories. Same goes for Mirelle. Some of those memories with boobs in the face lulz

Why do I feel like I'm trapped in an all-ages VN and locked into the route where I don't get any of the girls?

Probably because this is more effective as a commercial for the source VN, than it is as an anime. I like the girls, and the mc is not as obnoxiously clueless as some (Yes, I'm talking about you Ichika...), but all in all it just seems to come across as meh. Oh well, only 4 episodes left--maybe I'll start checking out the availability of the source.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Possible endings and my thoughts:
> Takahiro becomes a knight again - best ending.
> Takahiro becomes someone's begleiter (exept Mio) - predictable and acceptable ending.
> Takahiro somehow becomes everyone's begleiter - somewhat predictable and acceptable ending.
> Takahiro becomes Mio's begleiter - most likely and very disappointing ending.

Didn't Mio encourage Takahiro to become a knight again this episode though? Hopefully he becomes a knight again!

Pretty calm episode.

Noel at the beginning telling her dad OH I'M GOING AND YOU'LL LIKE IT.

Lots of pressure on Takahiro on what to do. Lets see what happens.

Some fan service and some story it was nicely balanced.
Finally more background on Noel which was needed to explain the hatred of jousting from her father, and some background from Takahiro as well.

Still i don't mind which girl Takahiro ends up with the exception of one girl i still don't like Mio and i would really dislike it if he ends up with her.

this show is weird with it's fanservice. It gladly takes the opportunity to have Celia and Akane naked and trapped in a windmill for an entire episode, but then avoids the chance at shenanigans in the bath with the entire female cast. I'm actually kind a grateful that shenanigans only happened with Mio, since that does get old really fast .

I'd like to see a rematch Takahiro vs Celia's brother. Damn Takahiro, you better become knight or I will become angry.

Either way:

Completely agree. Id be fine with any of those except him being Mio's begleiter. But I really want him to become a knight again.

It was nice to get a bit of back story on the characters. I kind of felt Takahiro had no real personality at all but his fear of letting people down actually struck me a bit and could sympathize with him. Aside from that, yay for open air baths and training camps.

They don't have enough time to go down an actual character route. I wonder how they will side-step that. A non-ending seems likely.

I think Takahiro will become a Begleiter even tho I don't want that to happen. I want him to become a knight!!!!

the story that MAL gives out makes it seems like he's going to become a begleiter :(

I think the episode points to a Mio end and Takahiro going back to being a knight. Here in this episode we clearly see that Mio is the only girl who thinks the true feeling of Takahiro to be the most important, even though she wants him to be her Begleiter. And all the other girls just want him to help her win the tournament. So Mio seems to be the true one for him. And if Takahiro follows his inner call and returns as a knight then of course he will be nobody's Begleiter. This at least means on the surface the whole harem context can still be sustained...
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Lol let's call that "A slap in the face/play the VN ending" because I honestly doubt there will be a second season for this to have an open ending like that.

I wish there was a video that ranked the most forced ecchi scenes. Because i'm sure that the small gust of wind that blew the towel out of Mio's hands would rank pretty high. not that I hate it or anything, just sayin'.

Ah the traditional Onsen episode with very good visuals presented
That train carriage of naked hotness was nice

Noels background story was dramatic not touching to me though, the place of conversation was beautiful at night

Takahiro has his history shown as well and moment with Mio <3
I guess he'll be one of the knights too if the registration hasn't ended yet?

3/5

But how much useless, if it were not for the question: I'm telling you, do not I tell you?
Okay I do and the flashbacks, the narrative was otherwise a waste of time given the tight deadlines.
All joking but I like to see the drama, the sacrifice! : P
Not bad the plot seems that you want to point to a much more serious approach, today, not just seen no evidence as to which one would say: Oh, this is just a series ecchi or harem, and you are not even seen the usual allusions to which we had used in the past.

That bath scene with Mio and Takahiro could've been a beautiful moment, but then everyone else just had to barge in.....

I'm actually a little surprised she wasn't too flustered after stupidly jumping into the bath.

Mio said it during that onsen scene, and she is right.
I can totally understand Takahiro, and I know how it feels T^T
Still, Takahiro needs to choose.
It's either he becomes everyone's begleiter (the girls, of course), or he becomes a knight again (which is what I think will happen).
Those flashbacks explained some things.

It was pleasant episode. We got a bit of back story for Takahiro (its seem to me that his problem is more psychological than a physical one) & Noel (we got to see why Noel puts in all she has got into the competitions)…
