The nude scene was incredibly entertaining!

The fight scenes were very well done as well!

This is quite possibly the worst anime I have ever seen.
Also, visuals aren't pure shit, but are totally random and far from being good.

Saya and Kirin are a great duo team. Damn Saya really caught me by surprise because she moves pretty good when using that big ass gun. And the shower scene was quite funny when she's trying to grab Kirin's boobs but she can't because Kirin is just too fast for her. And Saya is pretty bold for letting Ayato walk in the locker room while she's naked.

To be more correct, she's a vampire, but not really.

Each ogre-lux have different requirements, such as Ser-Vesta's insane demand
for mana, the gravsomething's demand for blood (sort of), and so on.
Some have worse "demands", such as Claudia's (which I won't spoil).

Saya trained (and watched) with Ayato and his sister for some time when they
were younger, so she's obviously learned something during that time.

lol, they kept the "Ayato getting an eyeful" scene from the LN.

Glad to see the sisters both together and their battle fulyl animated; theyre basically the first step to gaining more knowledge on locations and whereabouts after their story arc is somewhat completed (I assume ? ) since I doubt they are in any way bad guys
perhaps not harem members but easily can see them as friends down the line... And can't see the battle vs Irene lasting very long.

Pretty good episode, Saya and Kirin fight was pretty good, loved seeing Saya able to fight close range with her gun as well. The Ayato and Julis was just them dominating with just Julis fighting this one. Finally get more of Irene and get to meet her sister to see that she can regenerate and her Irene is pretty much a vampire scythe user that can control gravity...pretty badass lol. One thing that got me thinking though that we are now hitting the ending of the season with only 2 episodes left, what happened to the main plot of finding out what happened to the sister? That completely just disappeared and we haven't touched on that the whole season. Maybe we will see more about it in these next 2 episodes but I honestly can't wait to see the final battles!

Here is my full review on the episode:

Ayato and Julis barely do any teamwork in this team battle. They're basically doing solo tag team battles. Even Saya and Kirin knows how to do team battle properly.


I won't spoil you too much but AyatoJulis pair has the most incredible teamwork in the Phoenix teamwork to the end. Of course they won't do much against small fries but you'll see they doing it against bigger fishes. Even currently the solo fights are part of their strategy to conceal Ayato's power and use it less as much as possible. I even think their teamwork was what made the Phoenix arc entertaining.

Those who wins a tournament gets to request anything they want from the higher ups. You can already guess what Ayato is going to ask if he wins right? =)

Everything including the tournaments are a fraction of the main plot, so don't worry about it.

Great episode, full of fights and showing the strength of several competitors, this time Julis fought alone and had an easy victory, but the mainly adversary for now is Irene, which in addition to provoke them still showed a great strength, I look forward to continue watching and see the struggles that are to come ..

Irene looks interesting. She's not that scary. I kinda like her. Lucky Ayato getting an eyeful of Saya and Kirin's body. Saya seems to be flaunting her body to him. lol

Looks like Ayato and Julis will have a tough time to that vampire babe.

The episode was very enjoyable. It's impressive to see Saya swinging that heavy weapon of hers so easily like that against her opponent, before blasting him while he was in the air.

Saya's obsession with big tits went up a notch again, trying to grope Kirin's rack. On top of that, she let in Ayato & Julis, with her and Kirin still nude, and gives a victory pose to Ayato without any shame whatsoever....Dayum....

At least Ayato isn't dense like most male MC nowadays, understanding Julis' request for a head rub, then giving her one. Very cute moment. =D

Irene is pretty fearsome. Using a powerful weapon with ease and having her sister with her regen powers so she can suck some of her blood to give her vamp-like powers a boost, and also being able to control gravity with be a nightmare for any good teams in the competition to deal with.

Apart from the odd CGI during Irene's battle which looked average, the art and animation was, for the most part, really good.

Yea, I think I'll wait till the 2nd season is done. This show is a joke compared to Rakudai. Apart from pink hair (Julius) > Red hair (Stella) it just doesn't do much for me. And by ">" I just mean the hair color and style, that's it.

Overall, the story is not bad, a mix of comedy and make things a little more usable episode series, we have more developments in the plot. To crown positive episode, there are also designs very well finished, you notice the attention put into achieving them. Granted the final of the fight, I expected a twist like, oh well! ^^ "

I thought Irene had potential to be the best girl substitute (since real best girl, Claudia, IS NEVER IN THE FUCKING SHOW) but then they had to lump her with an annoying preachy "don't do bad things!" goody two shoes imouto. Bleghhhhh. Let delinquent girls beat people up goddamnit, I'm here to see her kick the shit outta people.

Lot of things to like this ep!

Saya's father seems like a funny guy! Saya was pretty badass in close combat which was interesting to see. Also really like Kirin and Saya together, they make for nice scenes. The boob grabbing was pretty fun!

Irene seems cool, her lux was pretty awesome and I can't say that I don't like the bloodsucking, cause that's pretty hot :P

Pat on the head was cute~

Wow that other girl is a vampire with the power to control gravity and her sister is basically a blood storage that never runs out of blood.
I'm really curious about her fight with Ayato :D

Urgh, I've been really trying to look past the fight scenes in hope they get better, but today's were either short or nonsensical. Lester just waited a minute while his opponent powered up and abandoned his main tactic of keeping on the move at the same time? Really? I know a lot of animes are guilty of this but this was really glaring this time.

There have been parts I've really liked about Asterisk, but today was sub-par action and sub-par romance (how much time can they dedicate to head pats?). I wouldn't normally mind it if the battles were shortened to make way for a relationship development scene, but I feel like action should be the main focus of the series during the Phoenix Festa. It's a shame because the fast-paced battles have been fun to watch, but they haven't gone for very long.

The pacing so far has been pretty breakneck too, but at least it's consistent.

Yeah, I can definitely relate to that...
My reaction watching the fights so far...

That was a really nice fight. No, I don't mean Julis's nor do I mean scythe girls. I also don't mean Kirin and Saya's fight against those two weaklings, what I mean is their Kirin defending her bewbs from Saya. That was quality.

Seems they get off a little easy. That huge fireball must have caused at least 2nd degree burns. You'd think Julis would show some concern after the match.

Sorry this is an actual tournament so no edgy death matches. Also Julis took it easy on them, Saya damaged her opponent much worse than that.

Ernesta Kuhne and RM-C are SEXIST! I feel so bad for AR-D. She said men are women's slaves. Women should be men's slaves instead. I want a man to make a woman unconscious so she doesn't know what he's trying to do. Man make women pregnant and run far away she can't find him. I call man doing something to a woman a good thing. AR-D got a boner whenever he looks at RM-C. Its just like boyfriend and girlfriend; husband and wife. Btw, I want to see a female cosplayer cosplay as RM-C lol.

Ernesta's gender thoughts were interesting, albeit controversial. The limiter pairing mirror's Ayato & his sister's backstory about those chains.
Nice combat animations. Seems apparent they're not rushing, even the zako fights were shown & strategies explained. Vampire's gravity seems pretty cool. The mechs just seem op, don't seem fair. Toudou's single arm parry was quite skilled.

That awesomely blocked grope.

Irene is badass. (as expected)

This isn't actually her thoughts on gender, it's an actual quote about the sexes (it says "Sexually,..."). It's a fact that the base human genetic is female; male is added by hormones and such which tweak things, and allows genetic diversity. I've always felt that the female form and mind is more inherently human and the male form more inherently practical. (note the more)

In japanese media, and often times in reality, the man with the conscience can never beat the woman who stands up for herself.
