----------------------------------------
Ritsuka sure is attracting some unusual guys in her life tbh..

I find Shiki to be the strangest of the bunch with his personality:


I think she is lucky that Mage was with her this episode. Could of been much worse. Oh I think the show is still using its stylistic music even during that fight scene with doll metaphors.

Kaichou's song (character song instead of musical collection) when fighting, I was not expected because the musical collection cd hasn't updated it yet. ED was alright. Main girl's brother's back when they are back from searching mother.

It seems like Kaichou's way to get her is not obvious (just helping her out) while other council members are more direct.

surprised that he didnt manage to get her to stay at his house, at least he let her decide where she wanted to stay while her mum was gone..
episode was okay i guess. only time it really had my attention was when they were having food in the limo.. coz i was hungry lol.
Will wait and see what her bro does/says next week before deciding to drop this... kinda feel safer for her with her bro around.
The insert song was a little cheesy, but still alright.

That insert song and dance felt odd. The music is fine as it is but the musical thing just doesn't work for this show.

Rem's song when he was fighting the devils was nice.

I think the music is great. Cheesy, yeah, but still enjoyable. Ritsuka was a bit weaker in this episode but that's understandable considering everything that happened to her. She still pushed the muscle dude away.

I can't wait for Urie's episode~

I just love how Rem doesn't like mushrooms. We share the same opinion about those. I see she is becoming closer with the student council president, which we don't know for sure which species he is (a devil perhaps? lol xD)
That fight scene felt blunt, instead of action we got dancing and a song (which wasn't bad actually but stil...).
My first impression was that Hatano Wataru's voice felt out of place. Someone else's voice would suit her brother more.

I just burst out laughing when the insert song played. The musical scenes are out of place compared to the show's serious atmosphere. The arrival of the older brother officially starts the reverse harem now.

I dont if its just me, but when they talk to each other (like when they were eating in the car) theres always a long pause before the person speaks. It makes the whole scene not flow smoothly and feels quite boring.

I do like how they insert the song during the fight scene.

I dont know what to think about this show. One the one hand I like the characters. They seem to be some crazy bunch of guys. Shiki is my favourite beside Rem. I also like how this little puppy (Loewen, right?) seems to hate the guys and especially Shiki. That was so funny xD

But the musical part .. I mean the music as he walked into the kitchen and this guy appeared was strange enough but then suddenly he sung and danced. It felt really odd though the song was nice.

I also thought that there was no real connection between them standing in front of the closed door and then suddenly seeing those flames. For me the animation wasnt well done in this part.

Aaaaand last but not least I do like the relationship between Rem and Ritsuka. She cares for him, asks question and all that and he is like "eh .. yep". Just too cute :D
I am not sure what to think of the VA for Ritsukas Brother. He sounds a bit too .. old? mature? for him, I'd guess but I still love her brother xD

I like that at least it's trying to be unique with those musical parts

I declare myself nicely surprised because I didn't know Saito Soma can sing so well lol

Welp,I liked Shiki the most at first but now he's just the typical creep of a reverse harem

I think I'm in the minority 'cause my favorite part of the episode was the nonsensical musical moment, but, in large part because such musical moments aren't scattered throughout the episode, it felt way out of place and I understand why most people didn't like it--I didn't care for the episode overall (thought it was just ok), so, when that musical ridiculousness happened, I was basically thinking, "This is just too crazy...I love it! Why can't there be more of this nonsense?!"

The musical scene definitely felt random, but at least I enjoyed the song. Saito Soma's performance as Rem has been really great so far since he usually doesn't use such a deep voice, but I think it works well. Story wise though, it's alright. It does feel on the slow side, but now that Ritsuka's brother is back, it might go faster. Idk, just random assumption.

The entire ep I was wondering when they were going to break out into song. It was an odd transition and made me laugh but I still enjoyed it. Saito Soma can sing. I am warming up to Rem more but the brother is definitely the easiest on the eyes for me even though his voice seems a bit off to me.

I hope the story picks up soon, but I think the actual plot will probably kick in once every guy gets his own respective episode with the heroine.
Probably. I think they will follow what the typical singing anime does. If they break that cliche, that's great.

You know what, you're probably right. Somehow I keep forgetting about the three guys in the student council. Then it'll probably take another 4 episodes...

Noticed that most users think Wataru doesn't fit her brother. How old is he supposed to be, anyway? I personally think it's fitting. Can't say the same about Shiki's voice even though i like his VA a lot.



I'm going to give him a chance to grown on me. As for Shiki, every time he speaks I just think of Laito from Diabolik Lovers since they share a VA. Kind of ruins it for me since I can't stand that character in that show.

The issue is that the brother looks like an Ayato clone (the one from Dialovers) so I keep on expecting something who's not as deep sounding and more sultry, like Saito's character. Out of all the characters, I can only say Saito fits his well as well as Kondou's. Shiki needs a more shota voice like Yuki Kaji. Mage needs someone like Suwabe or Maeno.

I like where you went with this. If Mage were voiced by Suwabe it would be a done deal for me. I can't resist that mans voice. Love him.

Really enjoying this anime! The song during the fight was odd, but overall I love the different personalities of our devils.

Shiki is rather creepy, and I can't wait til she finds out the pomeranian isn't really a dog.

Big Bro is finally home and I can't wait to see what he brings to all this madness!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

A shota voice for Shiki O.o? Come on, he doesn't look young for his age like Kanato lol
He gives off huge yandere vibes xD And he looks like the youngest in the group. And not necessarily shota, but Yuki Kaji-esque.

Mage does sound ok but I think an A+ voice would make me like him more. He does have the long blonde hair, after all.

I do agree that Wataru gives onii-san feels tho! I hope I'll get used to it xD

I'm seriously wondering about that dog. He is suspicious and quite jealous. He is a fuzzy land shark though so I guess jealousy isn't too far fetched.

The episode was alright. Not liking Shiki and Mage. Pacing is slow hopefully it will get better.
Closed the sound option when he started singing. Did the same with Symphogear. I just simply don't like it. Takes away the Tension/seriousness from the fight.
Can't help but think that Azuna have some insight into all this grimoire thing. It seems she knows something about Ritsuka that Ritsuka /herself doesn't know/ is being kept on the dark side.
Anticipating brother's role in the story.

Well, the three guys are creeps, except the main guy (Rem was it?), the dog, and the brothers--so far anyways.
Hopefully Rem is the main dude (most likely) because I really dislike the personalities of the others. Just don't pull a weird personality twist on them.
I just bust out laughing when they sing, so I just skip those parts unless they're important...
Overall, ok so far-- I'll see how it goes for the next few episodes.

At least I don't absolutely hate everybody/everything in the show in the first couple episodes, unlike a similar anime... *cough* Diabolik Lovers shouldn't exist*cough*

Being a fan of creeps and weirdos, I hope I get to see more of Shiki in the coming eps. ^^


So her brother is back. He probably knows about the grimoire and why those guys were after it.

I'm guessing the point of the dead aunt is that the brother will turn out to be her cousin. Because then their relationship will be ok. Obviously.

I like Rem, but there's one thing bugging me..

THIS makes him look so feminine... arggggh
can you imagine what he would look like without them? ten times better if you ask me.

Not sure what to think of this show.. it's kind of slow but that doesn't neccesarily mean it's bad. I will keep on watching to find out.

Well, I have (so far) the same problem with this show as with Diabolik Lovers.

All the members of the harem hate or exploit the 'heroine' in one way or another. Not really romantic.

I miss those old school harems where all the boys are madly in love with the girl.

I like the dog the most so far (I too think the dog isn't a dog in a conventional sense).

EDIT:

One thing I don't get:

the members of the student council are supposed to be devils, right?

So WHY are the DEVIL WORSHIPPERS their enemy?

I can understand if the brother of the heroine is seen as a threat by the Devils. He seems to be some kind of priest/monk. But the DEVIL WORSHIPPERS? :D

Love the singing, character designs are nice but a little expressionless and the OP/ED are great.
The story is a bit boring but I can forgive it if the show gives me more of these Japanese style Disney songs ;)
