AP24 said: I had been waiting for this episode and I am so glad they did it right. It was worth the wait. Let's see if people can still call this a harem after that last scene. exactly this episode made it all clear that Ikki loves Stella and the same for her too, anyone who continues to call this a harem is just being plain ignorant |
on 
| Amazing ep! Loved the little heart 2 heart between Ikki and Alice, followed by some great action scenes. This felt more like an epic season finale, so that fact that we're only on the fourth episode is just getting me more hyped for whats to come |
 |
| Holy shit this was perfect. That fight was 10/10, the confession was 10/10, I can't this is so perfect. |
| Best couple of the season has been made. 10/10 |
| Such a great episode once again. Not to mention that they finally confessed their feelings to each other. |
| The fight was cool :O a perfect representation of the sheep bandwagon effect. No kiss :'( |
 |
| and ppl think opm has the best fights of the season lol |
| The jungle looked ridiculous. Okay, I think it's good that they took out all the "if Ikki were to lose Stella would have to go out with Kirihara" crap from Kirihara but why take out all the based dialogues from Ikki, Silver Link? First in episode 3 now in episode 4. One: "I know you have just taken three steps back" (sending shivers down the spine of Kirihara, when he was basically invisible and took three steps back.) Two: Right now you are looking so incredibly cute I just couldn't resist myself (as he hugged Stella). I shouldn't have read the manga. I shouldn't have. Because the episode would have been much more enjoyable for me otherwise. |

| Nice. Seeing Kirihara begging for his life and the blade 1 mm away from his face was epic. So damn hilarious lololol StellaxIkki scene at the end was so kawaiii <3 Finally a series of this type having the romance concluded from vol1 and having the red haired girl actually be really lovable <3 The AlicexShizuku scene was nice too And I'm really liking the loli ^^ |

MaxXZoe said: rewatched with subs...what is wrong with hulu subs even the sentence "contest form" was spelled backwards... Uhm if you look closely, when we first see the blue screen the subs say "form of consent" but after a second the camera switches to behind the screen, now the words are mirrored so the subs do the same The fight was good, the moment that guy started "playing piano" was kinda cringe worthy though. I hate characters like him, glad to see him screaming for mercy |
| Amazing! I was on the edge of my seat the whole fight scene, the intensity was crazy. The OST, the animation, and direction were really good especially the fight choreography. Silver Link definitely went all out this episode. The confession at the end, I was just as happy as when I had read it previously. Can't wait for the rest of the big moments!!! |

| DAMN!! The action still get improving. And she confess to him in the middle of the battle? WOW! Didn't see that coming. and i'm a little bit suprised for the last scene, those two was confessing to each other. i thought this anime is a Harem anime. Nice Episode!!! |
 |
| I did wanted to see the confession on this episode, but for some reason I thought that fight was gonna take a little bit longer..... I feel like everything happened so fast on this episode...... |
 |
| That was a pretty epic fight. Its been a long time since the last time a fight scene pumped me up. When he defeated that awfully despicable guy that felt so good. He should've cut off his head lol. The romance is progressing pretty fast. A confession not in the final episode? well that doesnt happen quite often. |

| Lol that guy wasn't acting cool towards the end. That confession though. |
 |
| So worth the wait. Now us LN/manga readers can be relieved. |
 |
The episode is never complete without some Stella fanservice.  That love confession. Seems like the show is becoming less of a harem. But that's good imo.  |

 |
| Just wrote my review of the first four episodes, the lovers-and-rivals could be a boost for the anime, but it's pretty generic by now. The battle wasn't great and the "power of love" saved the day again but I must admit that Ikki is an interesting character. |

| It was pretty painful to watch Ikki getting shot, but nice he made a comeback. |

TwilightMystery said: The ending with Stella and Ikki were very cute. Now, if they can just stop using Stella as fanservice 2-3 times per episode it'll be much better. Sorry but this will not happen... the LN of Rakudai actually have more fanservice than Asterisk LN. |

Just read your review and I respect your point of view, but I think you're exaggerating about Stella's fanservice. In this episode Stella's fanservice last like what? 5 seconds? And I wouldn't call the confession's part fan service. Sorry, I must have explained myself wrong, the romantic part isn't fanservice. To the contrary, it might be one of the best parts of the show so far. |

| Most of this episode was decent, but average. The only really good part that i loved was when Stella started screaming at the crowd, and at Ikki. |
| Brilliant episode! Loved Ikki's conversation with Alice. Had a lot of meaning to it. The fight was epic and that confession was cute. Only small complaint I have is that I wish they'd removed the ending song to extend the confession scene. I remember it being slightly longer in the manga. Still a great episode nevertheless. |
 |
| Perfect Vision? More like deus-ex-machina, in this case painted with the old "power of love" brush. Despite that, the fight was pretty well done, both halfs (before and after Perfect Vision) were compelling and engaging in their own ways, especially given how OP they both were. Also, I sure didn't expect a confession to come up in the fourth episode like that. And moving away from the harem element this quickly is a very welcome change. This could turn out to be a little surprise this season, which I wouldn't mind at all. |

 |
| The one reason I'm paying more attention to this show than Asterisk and Taimadou 35 is there's finally a relationship aspect in this "generic magic battle high school" show. And by relationship I don't mean romance. I actually mean two people who openly admit their feelings for each other and actually reach boyfriend-girlfriend status. Now it just depends on how they handle it from here on. |
| That. Was an episode. Like holy shit, I feel bad for not watching straight on Hulu or wherever to show at least some support for the show.

 |
| All right. That's it rating has to go up right now! Also whoever said this show was a generic piece of shit can now gratefully Kiss my ass! |
| Wow guys, finally, a harem(or not now) show thay sailed an OTP earlier. Awww men I really like what Silver Link is doing. And dat OST 11/10 |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
its been a while since it felt so good that a mc reking a villain  |
 |
| Ofc the MC suddenly power up after he gets rekt and should have been diededededed from all the arrows he took. But hey, beside that, nice episode ! |
 |
| That was good, but I still wish Ikki can just kill off that fucker or make him suffer even more. Well the confession is way faster compare to some other anime/manga/novel...which I like. I so want to slaughter off those people that talk shit about Ikki...make me so mad! |
 |
| Now this is what i was talking about... 6/5 |
| For a minute during this episode I started to think this show was...good? Help, I can feel anime ruining me. |
| This was a very well executed episode with the finale to Kirihara just epic. Nice confession at the end so it looks like we'll get some real romance progressing. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| That kiss was cute..... the confession was great.... Find a room and do "it" already. |

How could this dude even move with holes all over his body anyway? - Allows students kill each other - Allows boys and girls to live together in the same room - Allows students to call someone else "the worst one" and constantly bully him Best school eva. |

skudoops said: Thought this was a school? Why would they let you kill each other? How could this dude even move with holes all over his body anyway? Made a comment earlier about how morbid the anime is in that sense, same goes for Asterisk. It's one thing when it's a historical anime with armies, but another with people going to school and basically fighting each other to the death for entertainment. It's not the same as signing a waiver before skydiving saying you understand the risk involved... your opponent in these battles could kill you if they chose to. Glad someone else agrees with me. Since it's magic something or another, I'm assuming they weren't holes straight through his body, but it is odd that the arrows just kind of disappear on impact... guess that's just how the magic works. |
