| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hahaha, Stella wondering more about kiss, relationships, her body, etc Well whatever, when an episode takes place at a pool, I guess it's inevitable that we'll see her in a swimsuit. Kinda interesting seeing Ayase making her appearance. Not much action but she has that peculiar personality around her. Ikki and Stella's kiss though~   |
 |
| Silver link with all the rearrangement... i guess it's inevitable with the director the same as Fate kalied... this show is the only thing that makes me watch livestream and raw anyhow that kiss with all that water >.< 5/5 will watch again for the subs |

Loose haired Stella is > Twintailed Stella. As always watching sub latter. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Well they didn't waste time into getting a pool episode. Stella's still being Stella. Also... kiss! 5/5 |

|
| So much missed potential. My respect for Silver Link was so short-lived. |
| So they became lovers and didn't do anything lovers do for 2 weeks lol. It was nice that they talked to each other in the pool and they both said they wanted to kiss and they did. And now it seems they both a match against members of the student council, interesting... |
| I have mixed feelings for this episode as a LN reader. If Silver Link followed the source, it would be much better. They included the fight with other students that happened in the first volume and made an anime original glue to get a reason to go to the pool just to get to the kiss scene 1 episode earlier. Not bad, but not so good as the 4th ep. |

Making a clear separation from harem LN adaptations is the only right choice. |

| THERE'S the lips kiss I wanted last week! :D Honestly Stella or Ikki shoulda told all those bitches to back off. :D And now I want more relationship fluff, the fights seem like a mere distraction from that. :D |
| Here it is, the episode of the pool xD. Whatever, Ikki and Stella are a nice couple:D!! |
 |
| They really are following the source depending on the phase of the moon. Where is my close up kiss for my sig? Do I need to use my current ones for an entire season? |

| A kiss behind the waterfall, never got the official name of those mushroom waterfall thing at indoor swimming pools. Glad their thoughts were mutual, being so honest, yet reserved at times! When Stella played the Otome game, and with those thoughts Ikki came in xD Ikki becoming so popular now... and with some harder fights coming along too. |
 |
| realy cute ep |

Do I need to use my current ones for an entire season? Silver Link gave a clear signal to LN readers that they will not follow the LN in a linear way. We don't know now when the good scenes will appear. |

| Wow shit... So the removed kickass fight in the classroom scene from the beginning ended up here being turned into something lame. What the hell was the point of that teaching scene, game and all that filler crap later going on and on? Wait... They just took parts from the Ayatsuji arc and mixed them with fillers. What the fuck Silver Link, you're starting to resemble mal staff. You take something decent and turn it into shit just to change things around... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| It seems like this series is mocking anime cliches. Rather than have the group of jealous guys become his enemy, they joined him. Rather than having Stella and Ikki's relationship get all complicated with misunderstandings, they worked things out, AND kissed. I like that. 5/5 |
| Having read the light novel and manga, I was kinda surprised at the modifications. However, it was still done pretty well. My guess is that Silver Link didn't want to fragment the romantic sub-plot between Ikki and Stella and make it more continuous. I really liked the buildup towards the kiss and seeing their silhouettes behind the waterfall was magical. |
| rather odd romcom on this episode.... |
 |
| Ikki: "Why are we having this fight?" Stella: "I HAVE NO IDEA!" That was pretty much my reaction to their fight. At least they made up and made out. I seriously thought they were just gonna bang right then and there with the way they were talking to each other. Nothing too special about this episode, of course there needs to be a swimsuit episode thrown in somewhere during the series, right? I thought everyone's reaction to Alice was hilarious though. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| the fight-make up-make out part was a bit too cliche for me D: Also feel like the pace was a bit odd... didnt expect everything to resolve (even if the issues they had were small) so quickly by the end of the episode. Hoping to see a good battle next week. Cant really say this week's a filler since there is indeed progress in stella/ikki relationship. |

I hope Rakudai keeps this up because I'm loving it so far. |

Its genuinely self aware and the adaptation is highlighting that. |
|
| Really, other than the fight and the fact that the guy in the otome game looked and sounded like Kurogane, I can't say that anything this episode did was at all memorable. But hey, at least they actually resolved their misunderstandings relatively quickly rather than dragging them out ad infinitum like most other series would. |
| Lol a kiss in a romcom, the end is coming... |
| Greate episode, loved the fact that they actually show them surpassing problems in their relationship :) |
Hunter2X2 said: CookingPriest said: Making a clear separation from harem LN adaptations is the only right choice. Clear separation by focusing on the most fan service parts of the novel? Anime adaptations of those harem LNs are almost always even trashier than the source material. They took the part that strengthens the end of previous episode and paired it together with quite a bit of ln trope subversions. |

 |
| It was a nice funny sweet episode, funny to see how they both were thinking and doing the same things and at the end it all came out and they were like why are we even arguing lol. The ending kiss to be honest was really nice, and happy to see that their relationship is better now. I cant wait to see how the battle with the student counsel members go, hopefully we get some cool fights. Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxoMR5E9ox0&feature=youtu.be |

Lol the birth of a fujoshi XD What a frightening event ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  eslej said: If that's the case, I think Shizuku conversation with Alice should be avoided. That scene and stella/kagami 's convo about stella opening up went well together. It implies shizuku has lost her chance. |
 |
| Yes, just yes. Awesome episode and love the new with Ikki fighting Sword Eater :D And it's final.. Stella wins best girl of the fall Season *Drops mic*  |
| HAHAHA Lover fight. i've never seen that in a long time. Not bad. |
 |
 I'm waiting for the rain... ♫♫♫ Cavalry blows Asterix out of the water so hard, I feel a bit sad for Asterix even. Honestly, in a LN schlock such relationship progression is truly a sight to behold. |
 |
| Stella's way too friggin cute. Definitely one of the best tsunderes ever <3 Dat thirst XD Lol'd at how she went to the 2D ideal world Ikki XD Loved the argument scene. Esp since I knew that both want eachother's D&V :P After the argument first thing I was thinking was "Ok now make out like rabbits in heat" The kiss was cute. OTP <3 |

Cavalry blows Asterix out of the water so hard, I feel a bit sad for Asterix even. Honestly, in a LN schlock such relationship progression is truly a sight to behold. when EP 1 of both shows aired i imagined them being pretty much the same but for one of them to get so good... Asterisk is not bad per se but this is my favorite this season (this and Concrete Revolutio). |
| Wth Ikki's abs weren't as defined this episode. Bummer -.- Stella's annoying. But that last conversation was pretty funny. Arisu needs to not encourage the imouto. |
| it was so cheesy I didn't liked it :3 |
 |
| Love that episode. Episode 5 that is. That whole embarrassing pool scene. I'm a 20+ years old, watched alot of animes but those "pure" moments always get me. god knows how many times I paused it because it was too embarrassing. I no I no. I'm such a wimp. |
| Typical cheesy romcom event but enjoyed nonetheless. It would be pretty funny if Stella got addicted to that game |
