THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
That was lewd...

At least the way Rico woke up anyways in the morning. Seems like the episode focuses more on her including bits of her past, which aren't exactly pretty. And based on this, I guess the show is starting to first half by focusing on the main characters individually while also collectively.

Pacing still feels slow. I feel like the show is prepping them for a big fight with the invasion coming.

I thought this episode went by pretty quick.

I noticed that a lot of grills have that blueish/blackish hair in this show.

I really hope that Kanata will fight next episode but unless there will be a weird beetle, I think he won't participate in the fight.

The story of Rico was a little bit short in my opinion. All I want right now is for them to show some real fight and maybe more backstory for Kanata esp. now that they are showing hints like he's having a hard time after firing that powerful blast.

And that annoying stalker again.

Hhhhhhhhhh I was getting hyped to see if their training actually worked and if they would be able to win the match....
I'm hoping to see our MC in action next week since they haven't shown much of his combat skills.

As i thought Kanata might get a curse or illness after he fought with the boss at first episode. He feel exhausted after he shot strike blaster. That is main reason he didn't join any match or mission.
Anyways, it's time to fight with devil bugs. Time for Age returns to the battlefield.

Rico's pompous attitude makes her more annoying than unique compared to the other girls. Very little of her backstory was given, but anyone can figure that it was the same old "being neglected due to sibling's radiance" cliche, which hardly excuses her current behavior. "Megami na Watashi this," "Megami na Watashi that." Oh, FFS! >.<

Of course, Kanata never had the plan to leave Rico out of the group; but he still had to use his last resort. Approaching her and using his honest eyes to look straight at her and say "I need you. I want you." (not to mention it was Matsuoka's voice). What girl can resist that?

The one thing that could've saved this episode was the reappearance of the ice cream-man, which Misora ruined completely by turning down Kanata's offer. Way to kill my hype.. >.>

Devil Beetles invasion timing couldn't be any more accurate; just when Kanata's stamina is down. But this might give the other side characters a chance to shine.

Ugh that pace felt very slow, before anything happened the episode already ended. Not sure why Kanata looks tired after that cannon shot, is he sick or maybe wounded?

So they finally formed and team and prepared for battle only to be interrupted.
Hopefully something good will happen to their team in the next battle but i guess it will reveal their training.
And the enemy team will be on guard when they need to continue with the match.

This episode showed Kanata being exhausted which could be the reason why he withdrew from battle.
Still i don't think that's reason enough to call him a traitor speaking of which to me it seems that the ones who call him a traitor are weaker them him when it comes to combat skill.
A fighters skill is proven in battle and not proven by words.

Is Rico's sister envy supposed to excuse the fact that she has a horrible, rotten personality and is an arrogant, egocentric bitch? Cos it definitely doesn't. I'm disappointed that she didn't get knocked down a peg or two, but at least she's actually getting involved in training, which is a start at least.

Really? I like this MC very much, due to his cool and calm personality, and good thinking and analytical skills. He's also shown to have good leadership skills, as expected from someone who's a former ace and has experience of fights against beetles along with his long-time fireteam mates Yuri, Chloe and the blonde-haired dude (forgot his name lol).

So I think that this MC is like a more OP version of Kamito from Seirei Tsukai, since while Kamito is also OP and a strong fighter, he lacks the charisma, quick thinking and leadership skills of Kanata (Understandable since Kamito usually fights alone before he enters the academy).
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

This was a good episode overall if you don't count Rico and her egocentric attitude. I'm interested to know why Kanata was exhausted after firing that blast. As mentioned earlier in this thread that could be part of the reason he didn't participate in any of his battles. Misora and Lefty are showing good improvement and their training too

Looks like Kanata has low magic capacity, might be because he's injured.
Misora's high magic capacity is her strength.
Rico has sister something syndrome.

Well they said it's a miracle that Kanata survived so it might be that reason, but somehow I feel it's not only reason they call him a traitor, what with demonic power in OP?

Best episode so far, is gradually improving the opening, and even had a better development in the plot too, but still do not like this arrogant personality of the protagonist, and finally the girls come together to fight and it seems that the next episode will come a little action that I expected much, at least I'll be looking forward to the next episode ..

This series is starting to become more interesting. The bad news is that, this improvement is large part brought about by the fact that we're kind of done with E601's individual issues and actually seeing more plot progression. The good news is that we're unlikely to see the uninspiring writing in the past 4 episodes for quite a long time (it can't get much worse than Rico's one-dimensional and poorly-delivered past, right?).

Age appears to have suffered something to be out of mana after using one move that Misora can use three times in a day. But it's unlikely to have been just an injury, since he didn't need to hide it otherwise. I'm still sticking to my theory that he gained some incredibly broken ability after that fight featured at the start of the series, and has been holding back so he doesn't ever do direct battle with people.

Of course he never planned to leave her out but at the same time that was part of the plan. The way he kept petting Lecty and Misora on the head, paying lot's of attention to them while ignoring Rico made Rico sort of jealous, Rico wanted the attention too and when she finally couldn't stand being ignored anymore and spoke out that's when he had her in the bag. Kanata is a genius at reading people, that makes him a superb personnel manager. All that was left was to make her feel wanted, which he did by pretty much seducing Rico. That sealed the deal. He knew that "goddess" nonsense was a giant farce, she's still a real girl with real feelings.

Again a good episode in my opinion, we see a glimpse of Rico's past and just like the other two, we see the reason behind her attitude, we see some improvement on the team, And that stalker again, i believe he's gonna be an Enemy soon, first fight of the team, and look who's crashing the party, beetle bug aliens, gonna be a good fight next episode;)

It's easier to accept her if you think of her personality as "chuunibyou". Few people can get chuunibyou when they're already talented mages who get to defend humanity against certain destruction, but Rico managed that thanks to her sister.

Guys, the show so far has made it clear that Misora has impressive magic power reserves. It’s a pity that Kanata’s magic power reserve is now low, to the point he could get that exhausted just from one strike blaster. ( kinda like if Kanata’s MP is just 50, using that strike blaster depleted his MP to just, like 7? I assume if drop to 0 MP, will get extremely dizzy and lose consciousness, so must be evacuated from the sky as soon as possible by another team-mate before one falls below to the ground way way below unconscious? )

Kanata’s current low magic power reserves had something to do with his past? Also, I have a something I would like to ask. Among all the Sky Wizards in Mistogan, based from characters we were already introduced so far, who do you guys think would fall into the Top 5 list of Sky Wizards with the highest Magic Power reserves? As for me, I think both Chloe (Kanata’s long-time fireteam member, who was the one who suggested Kanata to be appointed as Team 601’s Instructor in the first episode) and the Sky Wizard leader would definitely make the list, based from their calm and relaxed personality.

The Sky Wizard leader is the leader for a good reason, so in Mistogan, she could be number one in total magic power reserves. As for Misora, I think she could make it into the Top 10 list, possibly at Number 9 or 10, since Kanata did mentioned in Episode 3 that Misora’s magic power reserves is greater than most A-rank fireteams, if I’m not mistaken? If that’s the case, isn’t that almost the same as the elite of all elites in Mistogan, the S-rank fireteams? I’ve gotta go re-watch the previous 4 episodes, since the show did mentioned something about Kanata not participating in the rankings match for his A-rank fireteam in one of the flashbacks with Chloe and the blonde guy.

One last thing I would like to mention here, is about the humongous beetle that appeared in the preview for next episode. Looks likely to be a tough opponent, probably possessing a tough armor (Still, it must have some weak spot of some sort, like for example, from the top of his head, or some other location, based from my experience of watching some fantasy animes and RPG-playing).

Since Kanata can only use his Strike Blaster one time a day ( judging from his exhaustion just from firing one shot), who do you guys think the Sky Wizard leader will rely on to exterminate the bigger beetles?

There's quite a lot of Sky Wizards in Mistogan. They'll probably manage to beat the bugs off.
The problem is, the bugs are too close to the city, where E-ranked wizards and defenseless muggles live! So the MC and his pupils will have to save somebody (or at least themselves).


Also, magic power reserves isn't everything there is to magic combat, through they are an important part of it.

Pretty much what I wanted to say.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

Just when I wanted to see the girls fight in the competition, annoying swarm of beetles attack. :(

I really think Kanata has lost most of his power or stamina... or something to that effect. Coz apparently, he can still use that destructible attack but catches his breath soon after and uses a board to fly.

Rico's backstory was a bit short imo. I wish it dragged out a little longer.

Most likely we'll get an episode focused on Lecty in the future as well. Though I'm more interested in Kanata's backstory atm. Seriously, I cringe everytime I hear "traitor." It's about time that we learn why he has that horrendous label.

Looking forward to the big fight next episode.

Rico with her inferiority complex. Even with Godly skills, it won't be enough when her mindset is already fixed on the "I'm worse than my sister, so I won't bother to try" setting.

I swear Kanata is such a smooth operator. Just a few lines and he's already got the girls he's instructing eating out of the palm of his hand.

Looking forward to seeing what will happen now that their sworn enemies have arrived.

Guys, there is an update on the official Japan Kuusen anime website for episode 6’s Summary. Here it is: http://ku-sen.jp/story/
I will try to translate it to English using my mediocre Japanese language understanding below:

Episode 6: The Skies, Taken!
Just as the fireteam E601 was about to engage in the rankings match, a warning siren rang aloud to inform everyone about the approach of the Magical Armored Insects. To take on a large army of more than 10,000 bugs, both the upper-ranked fireteams as well as the lower-ranked ones are forced into frontline combat in a full-scale battle. However, despite exterminating one of the Commander-class insects known as “Chimera”, the assault of the bugs continues on unceasingly……

“Alright! Let’s Go!” “!!?” “You three will go and take out the Chimera!” “!!!??” Unexpectedly, the newly formed team of E601 will have to engage in real combat for the first time! Will they manage to gain their first victory!???
