Flashbacks seemed to suggest that she was the friend who was taken away, Julis wouldn't go after a random person would she? This situation is kind of similar to Irene and Pricilla's situation from earlier.


Thank you so much for your time, and for your great answers ;)
Now i certainly know more about what is happening.

ohohohoh what a surprise. I was expecting the Kirin/Saya duo to come save them, but nice to see Claudia and a quick tease of her powers. New girl really piqued my interest. She reminds me of Isla from Plastic Memories in a way lol.

Welp, too bad we're not gonna see the Gryps Festa this season. Hopefully there's a season 3. Also, if only the manga wasn't dropped :C

Tbh I think it is getting a bit boring without the festa and more talking less fighting. Still that old guy and the brother were nice.

I see.... This season is going to end in cliffhanger and suggesting us to buy their Novels, Since it's pretty uncommon for Anime (especially for School Battle Harem.. I mean Harem) to have more than 2 seasons unless they make a TONS of cash.

"Once does not simply to watch the Asterisk War without being ended with cliffhanger.)"

Also Julis doesn't deserve Ayato, Tsunderes doesn't deserve any boyfriend. Ayato needs to keep his harem going..

Real late to the party but so what...

Pretty cool episode. We finally get to know more about Julis and her past concerning her connection to the orphanage. Looks like the Integrated Enterprise Foundation is pretty much TAW's version of the Mafia. With only one episode left there's going to be a lot left desired. So count me in for a third season.

You know, when I really started watching this series it suddenly reminded me of something. In the beginning I couldn't figure out what it was but now I do.

The Asterisk War is a lot like Final Fantasy VII. No, seriously. It is. I mean, think about it:

  1. A meteor crashed into Earth and changed the world, kind of like how Jenova came to the planet and tried to take it over.
  2. Invertia being discovered and then it's element of Mana being injected into people that would give them magical powers, very similar to Mako being injected into SOLDIERs after the remains of Jenova were discovered.
  3. How the power of Mana through Invertia made a tremendous impact in the world for better or for worse, much like Mako being a major impact on the planet in FFVII.
  4. While it's too early to tell the Integrated Enterprise Foundation may be this anime's equivalent to FFVII's Shinra Company.
  5. And lastly, Ophelia might be the Sephiroth of this show seeing how OP she is and that she has the power to literally "choke" the planet to death.


"What I want, Julis, is to sail the cosmos with this planet as my vessel."
"I thought of a wonderful present for you, Ayato. Shall I give you despair?"

Heh, heh, sorry. I couldn't resist. But yeah, mind boggling isn't it? Makes you wonder what The Asterisk War might have been like if it was like Final Fantasy VII.
"You talk too much. Think too much."
"I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves."
"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you."
"I'm a soldier, not a superhero. Don't ever think of me as one."
"The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull."
"People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery.
"If you don't like the way your life is than do something about it instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself."
"You want something go get it. Period."

I knew Jolbert will totally pull that off, that Julis should marry Ayato.

And Ophelia is too OP, just what should be expected of No.1 in Asterisk. Everything we saw in the Phoenix Festa feels nothing noww, since the heavyweights are not even there. >.<

I dont keep up with the source material for this anime so I've been fully prepared for some sort of "get-it-over-with" finisher but after seeing this new chick and learning of the 5-man Festa, there better be a 3rd season! I've also always been a claudia fan but Ayato x Julis works for me, there will be a 3rd season right?

Well, there is one interesting character here. That Ophelia girl has a weird but very strong power that even Ayato can't match with, and she's from Rewolf. First time to see Claudia's Ogre Lux (if I remember correctly, I never seen it season 1) and I am interested of its power coz as I remember in season 1, Julis mentioned to Ayato that Claudia's Ogre Lux has to do with seeing the future movements.

Only 1 episode left and I would like to have a decent ending for this season. Looking forward to see how they will pull it off.

Meanwhile, I just laughed at the last scene where Ayato and Julis fainted, and Claudia only shouted Ayato's name. I find that part awkwardly funny. Julis got SEEN ZONED. :v

There were actually two scenes where Claudia used her Ogre Lux in season 1. First to knock Silas out at the end of first arc. The second was when they caused her to attack Ayato who came to her room to ask her abut Gravi-Sheath.

It's still ongoing & there's still no conclusion to the romance.

isn't she a different person ?!?! i mean, she looks freaking different from what i have seen in julis's past. moreover, WTF with her power. is that even fair ?! she wasn't even using sword LOL. i can even call that a mosnter goddammit.

not only that the one which suprised me, wtf happened to the ending visual ?!?!? ayato's sister turned into Orphelia and the ending of the visual turn out that they were about to walk into the stage.

That was a really cool change up in art.

And I love "winter" episodes. Anime always makes it look so pretty!

Oh great, another one of Dirk's dogs.

She really pissed me off, with her babbling about destiny, beings without free will shouldn't judge others.

How Claudia disposed of SOB's doggies was awesome.

Claudia.
Of course Ayato would decline marrying Julis. He doesn't like her like that and he loves Claudia.
Orphelia.
Dat fire.
Dem hands.
Orphelia rekt Julis.
Dem hands. Dat smell.
Ayato got saved, but now he has to fight again. lol
Claudia saved her future husbando! The true main heroine is here!
It pained my heart hearing Claudia call her future husbando's name like that. No waifu deserves to go through that.

Dat preview! I'm sad as well Claudia. Don't worry, Claudia. You're already the one true heroine. You will be left standing by default.

Claudia proving once again that she is best girl.

Would someone mind telling me how ayato knew orphelia? At least with the way he said "what? That's orphelia? No way!" It sounds like he knows her. But I don't remember them ever meeting.

Damn, Ayato is so lucky. If I was offered to marry Julis, I'd accept it in a heart beat! I also desire to live comfortably as royalty if I'm given the chance.
