An entire episode of non-LN filler.
I ain't even mad.
Wasn't expecting this, but I'll take it.

Kind of a filler episode but I'm shipping them.

Now if Kirin could just get more assertive, I'd really appreciate it.

My god was this episode boring. That twin tails chick is so cliché that I had to look twice because I thought she was the girl from Saekano at first. Claudia is still the only thing worth watching this show for but she's almost never in it, ugh. I'm a good person, I don't deserve to be plagued by uninteresting lolis all the time.

This episode was mostly filler. Probably because they want to keep the pacing until now and divide the 3rd volume in 4 instead 5 episodes. Can't say that I hate it but I'm not very fond of it either. During the 2nd volume they skipped a few scenes which could have been used, then there wouldn't be a need for the filler part.
Nevertheless, some more cute Kirin doesn't hurt. Pretty excited for the next few episodes.
I'm feeling thank you

Definitely my favorite so far! Saya gets to be the main focus along with Kirin was great. Is nice to them get along and form a bond to help them become better teammates. Love the little build up in the last part especially showing a new girl appearing very soon. Can't wait for next week!

I see some people are mentioning that this is a filler episode. If it is true, then it is a great episode since next episode should be the phoenix festa begins. If there were no filler like this one, we'd don't know much how Kirin and Saya sync so goodly later on.

Weekly dose of best girls, featuring best girls, and best girls moment. I love the faces of Kirin throughout the episode. Kirin being a cute puppy moment on the table lol, then her blushing stuffs.

Saya one-shot the blonde girl lol. That blonde girl's VA is so distinguishable somehow. I know she got to be Tenten and Mine's VA with that kind of unique voice.

Violet Weinberg has officially caught my attention. I hope we see more of her later.

I mean it's no contest that Claudia has a better body, and to be fair her bikini was lewd in it's own right...but holy fuck Violet. Maybe smaller boobs and an overall more petite figure, but that fucking skimpy top and thong bottom...moar plz. pretty please.

Gotta love whoever is in charge of subbing this show for randomly changing the spelling of Allekant to..."Arlequint". Lmao, how do you fuck that up? It's already spelled right in the previous episodes, and it's online. Spellcheck, motherfuckers.

Sorry to inform you that she is just a minor character not even appearing in the main story. She is most probably from the QueenVeil side-story, i am not sure though. Her purpose was mostly fan-service though.......

The subs were atrocious this episode........Gryps turned in Gryphon, Allekant turned in Harlequint etc.

I've just read the 3rd volume of the LN & I think that she might actually be one of the pair Ayato & Julis face in the 2nd round. The novel doesn't give us their name but the contestants from Queensvale were a twintailed girl & a ponytail girl. And their rank in their academy were, miss twintail in 30s & miss ponytail in 50s. Not that it matters anyway since they're just small fries.

Still a throw-away character whose main purpose was to show in a micro bikini.....at most she may show up against Saya-Kirin during Elimination rounds for some comedy. Btw miss twintail this episode was ranked 53 if i remember correctly........

For a filler, this episode was pretty enjoyable.

Most tag-teams when they first battle together don't perform as well as they would hope, which is the case with Saya and Kirin, but spending the day together shopping and having Saya help Kirin to learn how to swim, the two of them bonded well and now can perform like a properly strong tag-team should be able to. =D

Shame that the fight between Saya and Violet was so short, considering how much that Violet was boasting about herself beforehand.

I gotta say, Violet's bikini was REALLY skimpy, almost matching Kuroko Shirai's skimpy bikini from A Certain Scientific Railgun. O_O

I looks like the Festa properly starts next week. I wonder if we'll see this Irene person in action, considering that Claudia mentioning her as a threat to Ayato & co if they end up fighting her.

The fact of giving space only to Todo and Saya, sidelined the rest of the cast, did not seem a bad choice. Plot that moves forward a little, but at least the final step does not mean that they are underestimating the threats from other schools, drawings and animations with ups and downs, the couple Todo-Saya is excellent, nice and funny in their own way, the overall episode is usable but not yet at the top.

Noooooooo! Dreams = crushed. lol.

Oh fuck, that's right. Totally forgot about the Gryps one too. haha

Yea idk who they paid to sub this episode, but they need to be fucking fired.
It's just especially bad when they have so much material to reference. Like, hey dumbass...if you don't know how to spell one of the terms, you have the LN info, the wiki, and past episodes (that clearly your more skilled co-workers did) to look at.

It's even more funny as you can clearly see the mistakes when you listen to the characters talking. Maybe the the guys were high on weed when they subbed this episode. I will have to re-watch this with FFF subs later.

The whole episode could've been a lot better had they made the training sessions into sparring matches between Ayato+Julis vs Kirin+Saya instead of some senseless dolls beatings. I'm sure that an episode with the loli team get owned hard at first but win by a close call after the bonding time will please the audience even more.

So I wouldn't exactly call this a filler episode as it developed Kirin and Saya's relationship, but it was pretty slow-paced.
Does this show even know where it is going? What are Claudia's motives? I hope that this show doesn't have a cliffhanger ending, but I also don't want the ending to be rushed and come out of nowhere. Sadly, I feel like it's going to be one of those two.
