They won't continue the development of Andou and Tomoyo? Well, that's pretty disappointing. It seems like everything about the last episode was forgotten lol. Terrible.

The game at the start is pretty cool. Although I think the whole episode felt a little boring. Maybe because less of the other cast?

Plot twist: Dark and Dark is the most OP power in the series.
I've had this feeling since the first episode. Maybe he's not afraid of their powers cuz he's secretly holding his back.

i guess jurai's dark and dark is overpowered and he intentionally hides this fact, sayumi said that he's aware of how dangerous their powers are ..

Well this was a nice diversionary episode, but like others have said it feels kind of out of place with where the last episode ended.

Sayumi is my least favorite of the characters in this show, but she still gets her chance to shine, plus she does look good in glasses!

Sayumi episode. To be honest, I didn't much appreciated Sayumi from the start. Since she got her episode, I'm a little relieved that she has good intentions for the Literature Club.
Hatoko's episode next week! Can't wait!

Oh yay! We get another look at how they all reacted to getting their powers. I hope they go through this with each character, how they felt about it and such.
Next week looks to be a bit of more serious drama.
Did they change the day this show airs on BTW? I could have sworn it was Monday....

And yeah, I'm calling it, when Andou's power fully awakens, its going to be BADASS. Also reserving magical girl power outcome... Just cause.

Andou looked pretty cool dressed as the demon lord XD.

Awwww, it was all for his birthday T.T

Dem tears doe...

So Sayumi is from a rich family eh.

Sayumi blushing and her lil sister Maiya were really cute :3

Andou getting his ass kicked XD.

Ah, so something not quite pleasant happened with the middle school student council.

LOL, she actually felt sleepy XD.

Andou... such a nice guy T.T

Nice ending and that the episode focused on Sayumi.

It was announced in advance that Inou Battle was being temporarily moved to Wednesdays in Japan for the first two weeks of November (don't know why). It looks like it should be back in its regular Monday timeslot again starting next week.

This week was a Sayumi episode as expected, and she really does look different with glasses. Guess Andou's got another for his harem huh? :D Her little sister was a pretty enjoyable character too.

Judging by the preview for next week though it seems we're going back to the Hatoko and Tomoyo drama from last week. If so I'm not really sure why they felt the need to break those two episodes up with this week's kinda felt like an odd staging choice, but oh well. :D


I'd have to agree, it would make more sense to air these dramatic segments sequentially in most situations. However, if you were Hatoko and you saw this, do you really think you would immediately confront Tomoyo? They're good friends and Hatoko seems to be a fairly kind character. Chronologically and characteristically it would make sense for other events to occur before she confronts Tomoyo, although I suppose they could just have put in a small time lapse or even aired episodes outside of chronological order, although the later option wouldn't apply very well in this series and the former wouldn't be quite as interesting.

So while it makes more sense from a production stand point to have aired this episode before last weeks (it would make it easier to follow the progression of the drama), I think it also makes some sense that they would want to place this episode in between the two. Also, it cuts some of the intensity of the drama which works well with the lighthearted, endearing nature of the show. Certainly, I wouldn't want the show to become suffocatingly filled with drama.

I hope that when they find their friendship tested by this drama they will come out better friends than ever: they shouldn't let a guy come between them. I'm fairly interested, however, in how the show's examination of the uselessness of superpowers (in the more meaningful parts of life) will come into play within this dramatic segment.

It it also quite possible that I'm looking to far into it :P.

In any case, this was a good episode. I enjoyed it more for the endearing moments than anything else; it's one of the more meaningful shows this season and I enjoy it for that.

4/5

One more point to vote for this episode, because the authors have managed to mess me up ideas with this narrative.
Episode that catapults the story to a point not yet analyzed immediately, I like others who were waiting for this episode to enjoy the strange situation that had arisen between Andou, Tomoyo and Hatoko, gathered spectators of a show entirely disconnected from history since there told.
Narrative that you can charge the only defect, he always Andou as MC.
I'd planned this episode at a different time, but you see that they wanted to give some originality to the narrative.
Sufficient drawings, animations no maximum.
Who knows if this will succeed anime to surprise me again.

Well, Sayumi is probably my favorite girl in this show but I fairly liked the previous episode more, actually I find Tomoyo a little more appealing and interesting as heroine.

Anyway, what's important is that next episode we're gonna see some good drama.

I had a bit of difficulties of understanding what those filtered scene were supposed to be, but it all made sense in the end.

Sayumi was sooo cute this episode. Man, if I wasn't sold to Tomoyo, I could have fallen for her :P

It was interesting to get more information about Sayumi, since she was pretty faded since the beginning. Also, why is Andou so perfect??

She tries to convince Andou to get rid of her powers but it didn't work.

Sayumi trying to perfect. I can relate to that.

Oh she has been smitten by Andou.

It seems strange to get the serious episodes after such a light beginning. There still seem to be some loose-ends lying around regarding earlier events too. I like the show, but I can't help expecting some sort of Trigger wtf moment to occur (and kind of hoping that it does...)

Hm, I wonder if this episode had a different director from usual? The narrative felt disjointed and the flow was abrupt. In the case of out of sequence scenes it's doubly important to pay attention to connecting the events. A real shame, I like Sayumi and would have preferred to enjoy her episode as opposed to constantly feeling there was something wrong. 3/5.

Loved this episode. I was the least sold on Sayumi amongst all the girls in the beginning of the series but she really got a chance to shine with her own episode here. And she looks amazing with dem glasses/megane. Best girl (for now).

It took me 3 times to watch this episode without falling asleep. Some episodes you just can't watch tired, especially ones with flashbacks every other scene.

Now on to the rest of my backlogged airing anime.

Oh Sayumi's episode,
The mix with flashbacks was quite nice.
Feels a bit off though because maybe the atmosphere doesn't suit this anime.
It's heartwarming but not much to laugh at.
Next episode seems interesting.

Hmm, I'm not very fond of this episode... it somehow felt weak in terms of writing and they really didn't tell Sayumi's background well... I dunno, like it was rushed or something, with unnecessary parts left in. It felt like they are making characters tell the story without any second thought of their emotions and considering their personalities. In the end it lacked needed impact. Boring you could say.
Not to mention that whole premise wasn't interesting much and overall pacing wasn't good either.

If this was an actual romance drama, hell, I have no idea what would happen.
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

I'm sure he was being sarcastic.
マンコ means "Graceful" btw.
Also, I usually hate anime characters with glasses..(Nanase from Macross.)(The book girl from TWOGK) but Sayumi is fantastic with glasses.
Also, she kinda reminds me of Utaha Kasumigaoka, am I the only one?

Almost every anime that I have watched has some deep and strong lessons to teach sandwiched between gags ,comedies, action,etc.

At first I thought I watched the wrong episode, like what happened to the whole Hatoko watching Tomoyo on a date thing? I thought it'd flow better if that's in this episode and put Sayumi on the next one.

Quite the unusual introduction of a game from the start didn't believe that Sayumi made that mostly she's talented, neat for a surprise for Andou

Mostly this episode focuses on Sayumi which was I'm waiting for and I'm happy that it finally happened we got more Sayumi scenes in this series

It was quite wholesome Andou and Sayumi talked to each other with meaning and some bits from the past were brought upon today that ending though what do you have in mind Sayumi.

wait...oh no...
