----------------------------------------
Well we finally get more focus on the headphone girl..

Probably the most mysterious character in this series so far besides Kirby
Her power with sonic scream was pretty obvious though as evidenced in the OP song.


I thought second half was really weird with the fan service stuff. That Phantom though....was not expecting that.

Ouuuuh ( ° ͜ʖ °) Those Mai's Poses , Her face is so pretty for me..

Creator of this show really thought some interesting ways.. Sealing phantoms with drawing , next is is swallowing'em in with huge mouth O_o , Other is by shouting or something like that.. And Koito is is beautiful as welll for me :p

10/10 fanservice again. KyoAni's polish, moe designs, poses & attention to detail adds quite a lot to the eroticness & sensuality.

Outside of that tho, quite an average ep.
Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse.

Now take a look at Berserk (2016).

This show has nothing going for it besides the fanservice (which i don't like anymore, but i'm sure others will) and the animation (which isn't that important).

Really disappointing.

Of course it is important. I dropped 2 anime this season mostly because shitty CG.
And I'm not disappointed. Even if this plot is not THAT interesting, KyoAni is doing perfect thing not only with art and animation, but with direction too. It's just not boring at all and very entertaining.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Finger licking good

Eh' pretty decent episode, nothing outstanding but fun nonetheless.

Glad to see Koito getting more screen-time, I think she'll probably join the group within the next episode or so, and after that'll we'll probably be guided into the bigger picture / plot for the show.

It also seems whatever Ruru found in the abandoned factory is also a subtle hint into the plot that'll probably end up involving the company.

Looking forward to next weeks episode.

Nice episode it's always nice to see a male character suffer at the hands of a few girls.
It was also nice to see him flying out of that dorm room several times.

Speaking of that room the design was interesting.

Koito's "Break, break, break, break into the tune of creation! Tune, tune, tune, tune, control the key! Ahhhhhhh!" chant was unique and a little awkward. That's going to take some getting used to.

The fanservice is still rather light, and not nearly as lewd as it could be. That finger suck was surprising though.

Entertaining overall. I liked this episode about as much as the last one.

For some reason this series really irritates me. The animation and directing are high quality, voice acting is smooth. I guess I should just drop this since I'm not enjoying it. Couldn't even finish this episode, which is interesting because I managed to watch every Suzumiya Haruhi anime even though I didn't like them.

If the plot gets better and the whole series less annoying, I might pick this up again.

Pretty average episode. Some spotlight on Koito, I find the chants to be wierd and needlessly long.

The finger service was nice.

Needed more screen time on Mai in the bath :P, I like it more when she has her hair let down.

Despite the wierd fanservice the show tries to throw in, it's still hella entertaining. As long as its fun to watch, doesn't matter if it doesn't really have a plot. The animation makes it even better too. Though I can see why people wouldn't like this one, personally im enjoying it :P

The energy level dropped from Episode 01.

First half was okay and I expected them to follow up with it until the end with that "weird device" they found. Apparently not.

Second half...is just bland.

In the expense of comedy they try to make the hero look dumb but it wasn't even that funny. The "comedic banter" between the hero and his pet phantom Ruru isn't well timed I'd say, more miss than hit.

Also, Izumi Reina's VA seems like a mismatch to me, that or I'm used to hearing her voice Miyuki too much.

Looks like MC crossed the line of sucking too much to be bearable by summoning that crappy pup (which according to ED is there to stay). He's a comic relief sidekick type of character, you just don't make someone like that a main character. Aside from that, writer of this episode should go to jail for abusing the concept of humour... They fail in writing characters and they fail in writing humour... just stick to your prologues and fanservice. Really, less poor comedy, more fanservice.

Freaking loved it! The action scenes are engaging, the artwork is bright and virbrant, ost is noticeable, the comedy antics are actually almost funny, so far no annoying characters and don't seem to fall into saturated character tropes - I'm genuinely surprised by how well everything works.

I concur.

Her voice was totally unexpected. I expected the voice those enigmatic, mysterious and quiet girls have tbh.

Another average episode. Ruru is still fucking annoying and Haruhiko was getting tossed around like a rag doll. The animation and pretty colors are pretty much the only thing this anime has going for it at the moment, in my opinion. Hopefully it gets a little more interesting.

Random thought, but does anyone else feel like they're watching a science documentary when the episode begins with some sort of presentation-like atmosphere? I don't really have an issue with it but I think it's kind of interesting the way they do that.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Man, for a show in which I can hardly find anything of value, it sure is easy to watch.

The animation is still on point, the color palette is still great, the combat system still makes little sense: not complaining about any of it. However, Minase's tough girl act is irritating at best (almost as irritating as her special voice power): it's clear as day you just want to make friends, so stop acting like a female Marchiosas. Speaking of Marchiosas, he really reminded me of Tetsuya 2.

The plot is presenting some interesting developments, new Phantoms are appearing, but I think the main focus should be related problem the company that caused the outbreak of the virus, but the plot also showed a great comedy and fanservice, the girls are very cute and the protagonist is hilarious, I'm eager to see how the development of the anime and the other characters that will be highlighted further on ..

Disappointing compared to the first episode. I was just kinda bored, and it doesn't help that Ruru or whatever her name is dialled up her annoyingness to 11 this time, and it really annoyed me that Haruhiko summoned a lame, cutesy dog and is pretty much useless at this point.

Oh, and did we really need to waste the first minute or two on an exposition fest that we already got last week?
