THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The episode kinda reminded me of the LN since Miku used her powers which should not be a surprise, related to her voice/song. Mind control

I'm glad they used more of an organ eerie like theme since I didn't really like her voice. Poor Shidou and the spirits though..

Anyways, nice to see Kurumi at long last again. <3
LOL, I noticed they included some of the scenes from the LN here with Kurumi being....well, Kurumi with her teasing.

Looks like Shiori (Shido) won the contest, but I have bad feeling that Miku is going to be a bit insane.

Uh-oh, his secret have been exposed... in a disturbing way XD.

Damn, Maka looks angry when she is fighting... Oh man Ellen is taking Tohka away :(.

Kurumi! :D. Yup just the same her like the previous season XD. Seems like they have a plan on doing something...

Miku is a sore loser. and there couldn't have been a worse time to discover Shiori's true identity! Things got so bad so quick. And poor Tohka is kidnapped now...

Kurumi makes her long awaited appearance. Pretty satisfied with this episode.

All that QUALITY.
And jumping straight into volume 7. Why do I feel that the last episode will be half filler or something like that? Considering the rush job they're doing, it's possible. Ah well, fan favorite Kurumi is in the house so it doesn't matter.
And that's one big bra. Well Miku is the biggest out of all the Spirits and only behind by 1cm from Reine overall.

The animation and art sucked so much during most of this ep -.-

But who cares XD Kurumi is finally here >.< And in just a few seconds she proves why she's the best girl <3

Dat teasing :3 It was nice to see Shido asking for her help saying she's the only one that can help him now ^^ And Dat licking scene :D

Lol'd at Miku's bra size XD

Totally didn't expect they'd go straight into vol7 in the middle of the ep. Well I guess they didn't want to leave it with a Kurumi just appearing cliffhanger XD

Kurumi is finally back!! Her teasing and pervertedness really eased the mood in this ep, especially that licking scene. Miku was really a b**ch this ep with her controlling everyone for not making her school the winner. Poor Tohka having to fight off Yoshino, the twins, and Ellen, and getting captured by DEM. And that manhunt for Shido spells trouble, but with Kurumi by his side, I'm sure he'll get through. Why do I get the feeling that
will appear next ep. Overall 9.5/10. Hopefully they don't rush the last remaining eps.

That may very well be the case, but I think the issue here is 3 episode is not enough to do 1 full volume. If you've noticed they skipped 95% of chapter 1 for the 5th volume and did the rest of it in entirety, then they skipped pretty much everything from the first chapter of volume 6 and rushed through most of the second chapter. Then they had to do the entire first chapter of volume 7 this episode. They can't skip any of it of course because it's important and it has Kurumi. I do believe that episodes 8, 9, and 10 will be enough for the remaining 4 chapters and the epilogue of volume 7. But there could be some room for filler at the end for sure and I would not be surprised. I will never know why they got only 10 episodes and had the first as filler when they could have had 12 and 4 episodes for each volume.

Miku found out Shiori is not female the hard way, I guess.
Funny how she mentioned how a promise is a promise, and then 10 seconds later she doesn't care anymore.
Mana arrived just in time to back up Origami.
I couldn't stand Yoshino being controlled by Miku, good thing Tohka wasn't affected.
The whole crew of Ratatoskr was brainwashed, as well.
Kyouhei enjoyed it though.
Finally, Kurumi appears and allies with Shidou.
I hope Tohka's going to be alright, Ellen is getting on my nerves.

FINALLY KURUMI! AT LONG LAST!

Fanboyism aside, it was a great episode. I was thinking that Kurumi might be the only one who can stop Miku now, but it seems she only intends to send Shidou to her, so he can convince her somehow. Wonder how that will work... 4/5.

Finally Kurumi. The way Shido says Miku reminds me of Haganai's Yozora calling Sena Nicu. Anyway good episode. I wish we learn sometime what lies behind the Spirits. 4/5

Miku is so weak it makes me laugh (i mean psychologically) even if they reveal her past saying its the most traumatic thing ever. Unless her attitude towards shido turns into a completely obsessive, like Marika in nisekoi, i will never be able to like her even a little. I was never able to like nadeko after her little temper tantrum in monogatari.

I get the sense Kurumi will always be able to avoid being controlled because, if she does, then a clone of her will just show up and kill the controlled one and return to normal. It's impossible to get to all of her clones because of that.

Would be bad if the original one gets controlled, since she's the only one who can summon Zafkiel.

Kurumi! Yes I'm not gonna lie her appearing just made this episode for me. Now I haven't gonna that far in the LNs, but the first half seemed really fast paced. It slowed down when Kurumi appeared. Overall this episode could have been better, but since Kurumi showed up I'll give it a 3/5.

This episode was a bit rushed.

Miku had finally found out the truth that Shido was crossdressing.

Miku made everyone under her control except Tohka and Kurumi.

Kurumi is back, I missed her.

Miku's reaction to touching Shiori's junk and realizing "she"'s a man. XD
Unnecessary Trivia


Miku's technique, Gabriel was quite strong, being able to control other Spirits at will. Even Kotori too!
Mana's impeccable timing saves the day. Liked the way she owned Jessica. XD

Tohka puts up with Ellen for a while only to get captured right after..

That sensual OST.. Kurumi finally appears!!!
Shido asking for her help to save Tohka was nice to see.
That teasing part with the licking scene.. Pretty hot! :p
I wonder if Origami can do better..

Kurumi uses her ability to find Miku's memories of the past.
This'll be essential for Shido to face off against her on the second round.

Awesome episode, just because Kurumi finally appears! Best girl. <3

Even though Kurumi makes her appearance I am still not happy with the episode, so much vital information (which can make the episode better with a more natural flow) got skipped, all characters looked like they are suddenly doing something without a clue. I am especially not satisfied with the interaction with Kurumi when she showed up. The animation quality isn't good either.

But well, since those are something to be expected, and I really love DAL so I'll continue to watch. If there is ever going to be a season 3 I hope they don't ruin it.

All we need now is for Miku to try and control Kurumi with her soundwaves, and Kurumi just replies "I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of me being AWESOME."
