I absolutely love the fact that Tomoe tends to adamantly apologise after she jumps to conclusions regarding perverted misunderstandings. Such a breath of fresh air from the usual violent, hot headed bitches who physically abuse the guy for no reason, without a word of sorry later on.

Julie is probably my least favorite of any of the girls that Tor could choose right now. Sorry, but I prefer my girls able to take care of themselves.

Well I'm sorry for Miyabi, but I like much more Julie too. And I think that, in the end, the only possible pair at the end of the LN will be that !

At 18:20, Before Miyabi confess to Tooru, I am 99% sure that something will disturb the confession like 99% of the anime, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Feel sorry that Miyabi got rejected, but Tooru will always belongs to Julie!

I should have expected a beach episode sooner or later, especially one that so specifically catered to all the stereotypes of the beach episode. Not to say that's bad or anything though, it's always pretty funny to have a beach episode. Would be nice to get more plot focus in. At this rate I can see this ending in a really awkward place unless it starts to pick up the pace a lot.

That conversation between Lilith and the headmaster seems like it could have some interesting implications going forward. And that confession scene was interesting as well, especially how they linked it to his past like that.

Muscle god best god.
They went over the top with etchiness in this one.
I'm honestly rooting for Julie to go with Tor but now I would be happy even if Miyabi would. She's the only one, not counting Julie (she's oblivious and cute) that doesn't use her attributes and the only one who had courage to talk to Tor. Master Chief guys are at it again...

It's not easy to have already a confession in these types of anime, right ?

A lot of fanservice this episode !

I pretty much predicted this whole episode except Miyabi's quick confession. But I also knew the male character rarely says yes in his anyone in his harem except (maybe) the person he is the closest to the most.

The main reason why I think Tor and Julie make an excellent couple is because they both have severe PTSD. he shows it by playing the victim role, stating he's weak, and Julie seems to have suffered stunted mental growth from what she's experienced. Because of this, they understand each other better than anyone else and with the right support from the others, I think they can overcome their individual limitations, and perhaps even become true lovers.

I'm having trouble believing Miyabi's feelings are more than just a crush. But, assuming her feelings are true love, what does Miyabi have to offer him that none of the other girls (especially Julie, or even Lilith) cannot? She doesn't know anything about him, she isn't exactly of much use to him in battle, and I don't think she's (mentally) strong enough to offer him moral support when he's feeling down. Then again, hardly any of the girls can do so right now, so that's probably a moot point right now.

Pretty darn good episode.

The fanservice was well done I thought.

I feel sorry for Miyabi. She's so cute and innocent. But this is sort of a harem, so dating her would either not happen at all, or they would date for a short time then break up or one of them would die. So I suppose this is the way it has to be. I still can't really see Julie as a love interest though. Miyabi is probably my favorite girl.

Let's just cross our fingers she doesn't turn into yuri garbage after this.

Care to know why it's hard in believiing her feelings? cause anime is rushed... and too much focused on Julie. Question answered.

If it was staying true to the character development and scenes like in novels, then it wouldn't be hard. This episode was in more way original anime like only staying true to the concept of story.
Tomoe never did apologize, cause she didn't seen him with naked julie Lilith, also he was training every morning with her, which causes them to bring closer to each other. Lilith never went to the beach with them, Imari knew long before Miyabi's feelings and made arrangements with other girls except julie to give those two some time alone, by making them to go for her "forgotten handkerchief" - Usami-sense and Tomoei knew of it. Tomoe -also knew of Miyabi's love for Tooru, and was willing to root for her, even if she didn't understand her own feelings to him.

My thoughts are that it was nice to watch girls in swimsuits but also like every previous episode bad to see anime only Julie focus mode. This show is propably for lolicons and lovers of girls who are airheaded who can't take care of themselves.

Well I think you're right about the relationship Julie-Tooru. For now, the anime hasn't talked about the past of Julie (in the novel it's spoken since vol.1), but I think they could do it in ep 10.
I think the same OP indicates that, where Julie embraces Tooru while he is engulfed in "flames of revenge."
Then I can't say more for not going into spoilers.

So in the end is not that the anime focused too much on Julie, because even for her there are missing many insights, more important than for the others.

It's just that she is the female protagonist of this series, so those who don't like her, deal with it. For me, more Julie is always positive, better than various tsundere that abound in anime ! :)

Moreover, the one who can't take care of herself is definitely not Julie, I don't know how this thing is born. Perhaps Miyabi ...

How so? because she can't fight like others?

I thought Julie acts like a kid: need to sleep with someone because she is afraid, she can't swim, she monopolizes Tooru - Lilith duo thingy, she doesn't know shame when naked - embarassment aside, she makes a lot of misunderstandings etc.
When Tooru choose Julie as his duo my thoughts were "why? because she can't make friends? because she is foreigner? because she is silent type?" In truth this is a reality this duo was forced, because Tooru is lolicon. Who would choose a girl which he had known for a week over best friend, he doesn't know a shit about her except that she couldn't find a duo for herself and likes a tea, LOL.

Beach AND hot spring episode.

I'm starting to like Miyabi. I'm happy that she is starting to be more confident in herself. I was actually surprised that she was able to get through the confession without being interrupted (I was prepared for that). Imari is cool in my book. She helped Miyabi get closer to Tooru. I feel bad for her. Being turned down by your crush sucks. I have been there myself. :( It's part of life...

Shit is about to go down next episode!

Man, that ending was pretty hardcore. Randomly killing highschoolers, I get an unconfortable flashback from Parasyte :S

When Tor said that he's weak... Did he meant that he's impotent? x)
It's ok Tor, not everyone can satisfy a girl :/
Seriously though, did Miyabi seemingly had a chance right there? I don't even... I always thought she had as much chance as a squid, but he ''almost'' responded to her feelings. Welp, that's something I wasn't expecting. But that response was way too emo. Ouch, poor Miyabi, I feel her.

well the confession would feel lack lust because in the anime they cut out a lot of the interactions between Miyabi and Tooru as in them training everyday with each other in the mornings and him cheering her on and such. When that happens is when she really starts to fall for him but obviously none of that is show in in the anime

Problem with this adaptation is that they skipped out on a lot of stuff. There are plenty of reasons why Miyabi is best girl for Tooru.
