THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Eh, the OP song has style to it but not impressive to me.

Ootori shared some of her vulnerable side this episode.
However, I think the episode's action was decent on most parts along with the OSt. Lapis also throws some cryptic messages this episode. Takeru has some guts this episode, taking on an enemy he has no experience in fighting. Quite brave though.

So in short he turns into a power ranger and becomes invincible.
So the mention that Otori has similar OP powers but she doesn't want to use them.
It's clear where this is going.

Totally disappointed. Everything moving extremely fast, a supposed to be 2 or 3 episodes pack in one. Some small details here and there are left out.

But animation quality is not bad at all, op is good also.

To sum it up, im watching a fast foward x2 movie lol

the novels are somewhat fast like this too, but this isnt really an extreme power up or anything. but im sure they cut out some stuff in between.

Really, outside gaining the more or less the same type powers a standard inquisitor does like Ouka where is this going exactly? This isn't like a power up since it's just specialized equipment designed to battle witches so he's not really that special (which you will see later on) and lol about him being invincible.

Soo much happened in this episode, really entertaining indeed, the last minutes were packed with action. The CGI was so-so, it didn't bothered to me in absolute.

Also, i am start liking the characters, they're growing slowly.

PD: That engrish killed me

ehh the armor doesnt look bad imo. its just the fact that it covers his head and its not supposed to that bothers me. i already knew the opening was afilia saga to bein with, so i didnt really have high hopes to begin with. at least this song sounds better than most of their other songs. i still have hope for this anime, this episode was pretty decent, its just that they kept cutting out scenes.

well at least we got to see haunted in action :v one of the best characters tbh

Expositions in this series are terrible. I'm not event talking about the usual forced lines pulled out of someone's ass that have no place in any conversation. It's the scenes when the annoying orange head comes into the room, everyone spouts one or two sentences out of nowhere and she immediately leaves. What the hell is point of that? Who does something like that... Why is she coming there in the first place if she has nothing to communicate and no intention to stay...

With all that happened later in the episode, with that garbage BGM, lousy VA and bad transitions, it's even worse than Kusen. Holly crap, it's actually worse. I'm not sure if it even can be the "so bad it's funny" kind of train wreck. So far it was "so bad it makes you miss the pointless fanserivce"...

reason this is like this is because they are rushing and skipping some development scenes. dont expect any fanservice anytime soon at all. tbh antimagic is the best harem light novels there are....they also are skipping explaining takeru's powers too.... i can tell you rn, no anime adaptions can be worst than kuusen's and absolute duo's....they also did the armor wrong, it isnt supposed to cover his head. but, eh, im still enjoying the fuck out of it even if they arent adapting on spot. its what they get for doing 9 volumes in 2 cours....shouldve been 4 cour imo.

Well, that was a significant improvement on last week's lame excuse of an episode. Sure, it was kinda rushed (this from someone who's not read the novels) but it did a good job and has definitely got me more intrigued about the actual plot. More focus on that and less on fanservice and I'll be very happy. As for the suit being CG, having watched Garo I can't really bring myself to dislike the CG here by comparison.

Also, the OP is so generic and dull.

They rearranged some scenes which is okay in my books but man the pacing was so fast in the first half.... They missed out some things too sadly

The battle was freaking amazing though and the CGI didn't look bad at all.....I'm interested in learning more about these Relic things too because I'm very intrigued by them

Based Haunted ftw lol but its a shame that the anime left out most of the reasons as to why he is doso awesome yet so menancing

imo, this opening clearly doesnt fit this series. but yeah expect less fanservice, that isnt what this series focuses on at all. the light novels are known for having great fights. imo the cg was pretty decent. nowhere near as bad as the cg dragon that chaos dragon had.

Lots of nice action but felt kind of fast and rushed. I thought the armor looked pretty badass. The mc is actually pretty cool compared to other mc's of other harem ecchi anime.
I just hope we get more action and more story telling.

and what's up with the rating though?

I really liked the fast pace of this Episode, I don´t really need 5 Episodes of world building
if the characters are enough to keep me interested.
The fight scenes are executed very well, even though the CG feels weird at times.

Excellent episode..5/5..SUPERB ACTION..but ANIMATION, but did feel choppy in two or three moments..who cares whether it was rushed or not(i do feel it was rushed..it did bother me in the 1st episode but not in this one)..TO me op(backgroud average but song itself is superb) and ending are great...I really hope that they make 3 episodes out of the next volume..It will be for the better i think..otherwise i don't think rating is gonna up..they have to slow down the pace in the next 3 episodes and let us enjoy the anime more..adding a little bit of romance and avoiding too much fan service are also the key..

I have never read the novels/manga but I can tell this was rushed as shit. I try not to say anything bad about the MC's but god this one I hate and kinda like at the same time. I hate that when ever someone talks shit to him, like his teammate ouka, he lets her. I like that he can let go of his humanity in order to do what's 'right'.

Am I missing something? Why does he care about Ohtori so bad? They barely know each other. Why would you give up your humanity for a girl you only met an episode ago????

I also can't take the name "hallmark magic" seriously. It just makes me think of greeting cards.

Is there some significance to the usage of Who Killed Cock Robin as some sort of magic activation? Cause if there is I'll bother to fetch it off my bookshelf and refresh my memory of exactly what the lines are.

A good improvement on the first episode. It still felt a bit fast paced, but not to the point of it being rushed though.

Although a bit choppy here and there, the animation remains strong, and the CGI fight was pretty good too.

At least now Ohtori is now accepting him on decent terms. whether she can get along with the rest of the platoon remains to be seen...

Was "Hallmark Magic" a sub error or something because that really threw me off? Wasn't it supposed to be "Intristic Magic"?

Ohtori's battle efforts were admirable but no matter how hard she tried, it was virtually impossible for her to take that Einherjer down, even if Vlad was an exclusive weapon to her. Simply put, she was forbidden to take the job of the harem lead, and it had to be none other than Takeru who'd triumph at the end of the day.

After he donned J.A.R.V.I.S Lapis' given armor, the battle was pretty much over. I like how Takeru held himself back from saying cliche lines like "Revenge is futile" but balanced it out by saying something cliche like "Let me carry half of your burden." Well done there.~

She was held back because Sougestsu stopped her from using her relic eater as he controls every single one handed out by the inquisition. And he stopped her from using the relic eater so that Takeru can contract with Lapis.

As for why Sougetsu wants Takeru to pair up with Lapis is a huge spoiler so I won't get into that.

That Cock Robin part was cringeworthy af
and that moment when he says ''i won't give you the cliché line about nothing good coming from revenge.'' ''In return, let me carry half your burden''
I just thought ''Dude, that was fuckin cliché too, jesus christ.''

Beside these 2 point, it was definitly better than the first episode, but still not that great.
