well i thought the episode was very well done and is starting to get a little romantic.

btw can someone give me a link for a source on how the anime is 12 episodes? i looked into the manga to see how many chapters there are and there's currently 31 and ongoing, so how they can fit a 31 and ongoing manga into 12 episodes is beyond me.

I don't follow the manga so I may be wrong, but usually most anime studios simply put (I believe) anywhere from 1-3 chapters per episode depending on which studio is making the adaption. So most times they leave the anime open ended. That is until they make a second season, but usually that's dependent on whether or not the sales are good.

As the person below me stated, most series don't always follow the manga specifically. Therefore it's best to just enjoy the adaption for what it is. Unless you read the manga and hate the adaption they made.

I feel this is one of the many reasons why decent anime have such a low following.

The more shows you watch the more you will understand:
1) Many animations don't have a real ending, they hope there will be a season 2, so they may end this show at say manga episode 24 or whatnot and hope that there is demand.
2) Sometimes the animators know that they don't have the time to do the manga justice, so they do their own animation story "inspired" by the mange specifically so they can provide an ending (Aoki Hagane is an excellent example of this)
3) Some manga have a point where the animation can end, usually at the end of an arc.
4) The animators do a combination, faithfully following the manga, but then creating their own ending point (Hataraku Maou had a very nice one of these)

I don't read manga of animation I am watching so I do not know which way WCW is going, but I have found that it is best to disassociate manga from animation and watch the animation as if it is its own story. Adaptation is very hard work, so don't expect it to be the same.

As I was informed when I asked the same question chapter 27 or 28 seems to be a good stopping point, so at the rate they're adapting (9 chapters for the first 5 episodes) that would mean a "comfortable" (as in without compression) adaptation would be 15 episodes. With the OVA (which may or may not continue the story instead of being an extra) that's 13, so it shouldn't be that bad.

Episodes 1, 2, 3 and 5 adapted 2 chapters a piece while episode 4 only adapted one.

I really hope that they don't do anything anime original. If there's a good stopping point then they should just use that UNLESS it's so far away that they won't reach it in 12 episodes + the OVA. If they can't reach the stopping point then at least just leave it open ended.

It's unfortunate that the magazine WCW is published in is only published every other month, with a GRAND total of only 6 chapters a year. If there is a second season then it'll be many years from now.

While I think that can be a general rule, there is no absolute rule. Aoki Hagane is a good example. They totally went in a different direction (I read the manga after watching the animation), but in that particular case I think it was for the best.

The animators knew they only had 12 episodes, they knew they could not do justice to the manga, so they went off on their own and created something very very good that could stand on its own.

Good to finally find out what the 'white stuff' the Tower Witches are after. I didn't think it was the obvious (Kagari's semen), and was glad they addressed it in this episode. Tho damn he's spineless about kissing this beautiful girl.

The imouto is so hot, lol. And such an obvious bro-con. What the hell is up with that teddy bear tho? Is that normal for this world?

One last thing though, what happened to the maids? XD

One of the annoying things about Harem manga is that the MC attracts all those wonderful women without any real redeeming features.

The nice thing about this show is that the MC is that he has redeeming features. Though weak, though boring, he is smart enough to know that swallowing that ball was probably a trap, and he still did so because he loves the female lead. This point was driven home when even a demon was impressed by how quick he agreed to give up his eyesight. Its a nice depth that prevents this show from becoming too cliched.

Oh, and having the voice of Benten. Gotta love that. Didn't realize how much I missed it.

Seems like this season is filled with anime that I think are going to be bad, and then prove me wrong. This was a pretty good episode... and much better than the previous episodes.

Curious about this Evermillion character, and what happened at the end. I'm kinda wondering now if this is even going to have a serious plot or not, it seems like it might just focus on comedy with all of the antagonists becoming just comic relief. Which, I'd be fine either way... especially if it stays as entertaining as this episode.

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

His mom is really funny and odd person and her dream which includes some shoujo-ai materials made me laugh. Also, Medusa's after the battle comfortableness xD
Takamiya-kun kissed her cheek and there was a feedback <3 he deserved it as he almost lost his eyes.

The plot is worth a lot to find the crazies that are born out of this time.
Like mother like daughter, it could not be otherwise, and Honoka? O_o
Maybe for my taste runs the series too, unfortunately there are still a few episodes is logical, too bad.
Narration nice, yet another character who joins the cast, I hope everything does not end with this season.
drawings and animations funny.
I like the ending too! XD

A cool headed love interest, a yuri mom, and a sister with a brocon. Couldn't get any better. I thought the sister used to do all that brocon stuff but finding out she still does it at her age is hilarious.

Is it just me or was the pacing of the cut after defeating Madusa a bit off? And Chronoire already got captured and is being tortured after the end credits?

Oh, so that's probably what Ayake meant by ''her princess''. Honoka hidden power would be that white spirrit? Anyway, it destroyed an entire 41 floors building and a part of a school, seem pretty OP.

Also, come on Honoka, man up a bit. She's petrified and instead of kissing her on the lips, he kiss her on the cheek, what a sissy xD

That was so randomly fast the after-credit.

Honoka familly is so crazy :P

So the "white stuff" they're referring to is the white princess Evermillion eh?

Not surprising since I read that part in the manga, but still entertaining how she blew up the mansion.

Crazy and hilarious episode. Lol at all the worshop witches raiding the tower witches, and Chronoire getting tortured.

Wow my guy Takamiya getting set for life in the relationship department. From the surprising reveal that Takamiya's mom and Kagari's mom had a thing but decided instead to have an arranged marriage between their children, and Kagari being peak perfection in many departments as well as her mom being a CEO and owning a comically large estate, Takamiya what a lucky man you are.
Still feel bad for Kasumi, her brother complex is pretty extreme, but she got little to no say in all this as Takamiya was sold from the start.

Will admit the story board this episode was a bit to fast for me. I feel like parts such as Medusa just chilling in Kagari's house didn't have much context behind it, or the final fight between Medusa and Kagari felt wayyyy to short, almost comically short unless i'm heavily misjudging how strong Kagari actually is. I'm also realising how often they would just snap to scenes of Takamiya waking up instead of showing more which is getting repetitive.
Needless to say the action this episode was great and i laughed at a few scenes. Evermilion nuking Medusa and the aerial fight Kagari fought against her was really good. I also did laugh at Kagari just backhanding Kuraishi's gang out the sky, and Kagari pulling the curtains to show Medusa getting a back massage.

Also very confused on Evermilion's appearance. So Takmiya took the pill and his "power" was unlocked? What exactly was his power? To summon Evermilion? And who is Evermilion? So the pill wasn't a trap and actually unlocked his power? Also was the form Kagari took to fight medusa the same one as when she fought Shwarz? Or a different one?

What an episode, from starting with Takamiya getting shipped off to Kagari's household to getting jumped by Medsua and then using that magic pill the tower witch gave him.

FULL ON EPISODE !!

Really enjoy the look of Evermillion character and can't wait to see and learn more about her throughout this show.
