I'm finding this a bit too clichéd. I like some responses e.g. my bed holds me hostage :)
But for the most part, it feels like it's been done before but a lot better.

Saya is love <3
The way she deadpans through life is totally adorable.
To be honest, nothing really happened this episode apart from her introduction, and they skipped that one line explaining that Ayato is extremely poor with directions (he went to buy drinks at a vending machine that was way further than the nearest one).

I'm glad they're not rushing through things though, because the way I see it, we should be going for 3 or 4 episodes per LN volume, which is fine by me.

More Saya antics incoming. *Ka-Boom*

If only A-1 Pictures would put as much time into the rest of the anime as they do their OP and ED's.
They always have such good opening and endings. The actual anime not so much lol.

Normally i wouldn't watch an anime like this but Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry makes this anime look good.

Cavalry is so bad. This one has good animastion and music at least. Also there is no incest!

Aah just when I'm about to drop this anime after the 2nd episode, the appearance of Saya saved this anime!


Gotta like her cute design and her quirky personality. She might be the best girl! Will continue watching just for her! Dat weapon of her though.. She's really not playing games..
Maybe Julis should just step back..

Is it harem now? Because it sure as hell looks like a harem :| I hoped to see some sweet master-servant action instead of yet another "magic school ecchi harem" with tsundere girl.

Saya is adorable.
Claudia is true to her word.

Good batch of characters so far, so if they are any indication of what is to come, im looking forward to it.

"Taming" of the sword was lame imo. I felt like for what seems like an important event, there should have been more time or production dedicated for it.

Its funny how Rakudai had a much better first episode than this, while this had a better 2nd episode. Guess these two shows will compete all the way. Saya

Well, this second episode was much better than Calvary's. We know more of Ayato's backstory. We have a funny little blue haired rocket launcher wielding chick. And pretty decent animation. I'm actually liking this. ^~^

Saya is awesome, I enjoyed the Ser Verestra compatibility test as well and it looks as if Ayato is a lot more powerful then what he is letting on.

That ED song as well though, my God thats one of the best this season.

From what Saya said to Julis, Ayato is very strong, so strong that he would beat her completely.
Woooow 97% compatibility is very high. It seems that that sword have a relation with his sister and when he will start using it he will probably understand or discover what happened to her or where she is now.
This episode was pretty good :D

Good episode, witnessing Saya fight was awesome.
Cool scene when she told Hime-sama how weak Hime-sama is, I wanted to see them fight though.

i never get tired of listening the OP! ill definitely wait for that full ver of OP.
And also great ED by MaayaSakamoto. As for the episode sa usual the sword will go for Ayato cuz it senses her sister inside him.
4/5.

Although this show does nothing great and it's typical as it can get for some reason i ain't having a bad time.
The Saya girl though it's too typical for people to praise. She's that monotone unsentimental girl we saw a thousand times with no original twist what so ever.

Btw as to all of you that claim that this too cliche just look at this pic and see how original it is.

The only anime that deals with midget girls.

Not too bad so far. The ED was very nice.

So the Princess needs money. I actually like that idea, instead of honor or some crap, she just needs money for her kingdom. It's something that's realistic.

That blonde though. Dear Lord she is fine.

... Saya is soooo cute.
A bit fast.. the orge lux choosing is a bit underwhelming.
For no reason he's able to use the sword the muscle head can't use.
If remembered correctly only 2 ppl used it before..? Might be wrong.
The didn't explain anything but his one-chan possibly using it.
I guess they find it not important.. oh well.
The novel content is too heavy after all.

Onee-chan oppai. Motorboat it, Ayato.
Claudia is the most qualified.

You baka. You're not compatable. Stop.
LAWD! Claudia in that shower. Dat oppai.
Dat preview! Dat jiggling oppai.

Claudia once again proving why she's best girl.

Nice ED song.

Well better than the first episode at least and it looks like next will have some Claudia fanservice which is possibly the only thing that can save this from being bad.
