| Now i'm starting to like Saya more and more . She did pretty well this episode . Her younger self is cute . Also the battle was good , those twins are cunning and have some nasty tricks . Let's see how things will go on next episode . It's kinda weird but i can only differentiate the twins from the size of their chest lol Also is that ayato's sister in the audience ? I saw someone with purple twintails ! |

| Animation seems to have improved, nice. The ED song is one of the absolute best I've heard |
 |
| Ayato will break the 2nd seal. I cant wait to see him crush the chinese twin. |
 |
| Best part of this episode was Saya, the actual battle fucking sucked and went exactly like i thought it was, not to mention boring as hell. hoping it gets better, these twins fighting so boring imo and wasted so much time lol |
No drop crew, Loyal husband, sadomasochist, H&E bully, AWC fan. Click sig for n00dz!  |
| boring episode. also i hate that they always use cliffhangers |
 |
| Yeah let's use our tramp card at the very beginning of the fight and then wait 3 minutes until your opponent finishes his speech.. This is getting stupid.. |
| Seems like something happened with the seal? Can't wait til Ayato finally gets past the 5min thing. Better animation this week than last week's. |
 |
| I liked the Saya moment at the beginning. Those twins are annoying though. I wonder what happened to Ayato at the end. Decent episode. |
  |
| Putting a bait behind a bait. My god! reminds me of NGNL, but i really dislike those twins. "to overcome any possibility until the end of the line" Overall it was a very good episode imo. they showed Ayato's flashback again and i like the action between Ayato, Saya and His sister. but i think the fight between the twins and Ayato, Julis was better. i like how the twins fight too, but i guess that's the end for them :D well, it's too obvious that Ayato and Julis will win, but i can't wait to see how they will win, Something must be happening with Ayato's seal right now... DAMN! DAT cliffhanger... |
 |
| Ayato is down and Julis gets Saya to talk to him. Flashback fight, Saya was pretty good with her guns even so long ago :O Ayato has awakened XD guess he'll do the same move his sister did. Julis really dropped the concentration ball this ep.  |
 |
| The moments with Saya were my favorite parts of the episode. |
| so many flashbacks this episode and his sister was a beast |
 |
| Flashback, and we get to see kid version of them. Saya still cute and act the same as when she was a kid which I like. Anyway, it's still a meh episode overall. |
 |
| While I'm generally liking the Asterisk series, this episode was terrible. Not for the episode itself, but for the overall story. First, it's fine for Ayato's sister to pull out all the stops against a couple of little kids, but she seals his powers away when he's fighting adults. And then she goes away and nearly gets herself killed whil enever lifting his seal. Which makes her, IMO, an absolutely selfish idiot and someone who's not really worth being saved other than to lift his seal. Second - I'd like to see them stop showing the same-old same-old of the main two fighting and show more of Kirin & Saya. Not only that, the fight scenes are getting ridiculously repetitive, and all the non-fight scenes are nothing but filler and add no real value to the series. |

| 2nd part is better imo, nothing else to note 3/5 |
 |
| Is it bad if I actually like the way those twins are fighting? Dealing damage without putting yourself at risk, is it really that cowardly? |
| I dont wanna sound negative but I dont see how they can win against the twins |

| This fight was a little brutal so far with all the explosion seals. ....but it looks like Ayato saw his seal in his mind this episode, so hopefully next episode he tries breaking the seal. ~Great episode!!! |
 |
| AW CUTE SAYA MOMENTS! I love Saya! Nice flashback too, and they actually explain why the MC says the names of his strikes out loud! Thats a fun little addition. Can't wait to see part two! |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Great episode :O The battle was intense |
| Fight got dragged out because of idle chatting. sigh. |
 |
| Me watching the first half like: "whoa this anime's suddenly turned good?" Me watching the second half like: -_- |
| Saya seemed so cool in his episode. I'm actually still rooting for sayo X Ayato Ship |
 |
| 3 chapters, still no Kirin. We want best girl! Those twins are good with strategies but I think they lack some social skills and behaviour. Creepy_Noire_fan said: Is it bad if I actually like the way those twins are fighting? Dealing damage without putting yourself at risk, is it really that cowardly? Of course not! That's the most intelligent way to fight and you can almost copy it to everything in this world. The problem comes with acting like a total douche just because you are winning. First thing you always learn in all kinds of combat training is respect. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| I'm glad that Saya got some decent amount of screentime. The flashback with her and Ayato teaming up against his sister was great, despite their defeat. Although the fight in the second half was intense, the Li twins really irritate me, almost more so than a certain antagonist in Accel World. True, their skills are strong, but man do they need to get put in their sorry place. Thankfully, with Ayato unlocking something within him, my wish might come true in the next episode. To add to that, Kirin and Claudia need more screentime, badly! ^_^ |
| this is the first tough battle the MC is facing..hope they get rid of it in the next episode... |

| They literally just ripped out the only thing in the series that could have made Ayato INTERESTING. His entire struggle to overcome his sister and his goal of finding her, literally the only character development he could ever get, was blatantly dismissed by the writer's "tell don't show" harem bullshit. And what the fuck was that flashback? Doesn't that negate almost every aspect of Ayato's story and could have made Saya a bit more bearable and fleshed out had it appeared earlier? Because from what I can see here, Saya should have been Ayato's partner and the main girl of the series. She and Ayato have a history, have great chemistry, work better as a team that put up against a supposed Urban Legend and have a better foundation for their relationship than Pinky-dipshit ever did (saw her nakes). Hell, he even EMOTED thanks to her. This series is so full of shit, I don't even know why I still put up with watching this. |

| So that was their plan? Going all out from the beginning? Why would you even consider that? Especially after they "figured out" their enemies plan, too... I guess they have to get Ayato into the next stage somehow. Being cornered works best for these developments. Also is Claudia their running gag now? I don't mind the situation as it is (although I wouldn't have a problem with her appearing either) but this constant reminder in the last seconds that she'll "definitely" appear next episode is starting to get annoying. |
OrangeJP said: Those were some FANTASTIC Saya moments. I think i'm in love. I love love. Saya's in love with Ayato, and it's so obvious. Sasuga true love~At least we get some nice Saya moments and I have a feeling Ayato is going to break his seal soon[/size]  They could have come up with some better tactic execution and such in that fight, but oh well. Ayato's sister showed far superior tactical prowess. But i guess they are all technically combat amateurs so it's not insensible. Why are so many people obsessed with Claudia? She showed herself to be a bit of a slut, and that's pretty much all of the character development we got from her. She never even gets much air time outside of the previews. |

| All the Saya moments made up for no Claudia(as usual). Also at least we got to see more of Ayato's sister in this episode - the flashback, I mean.

Why is she the main female character, again? |
GoldenDevilGamer said: Saya was pretty awesome in this episode :D I didn't expect the fight to go on for another episode. That's pretty cool since the fight was pretty fun. Their opponent is stronger than I thought they'll be. 4/5 Good episode. Looking for some nice action next episode. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |

| Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| I'm glad they showed us more backstory with Haruka and Saya. Two of the most important people in Ayato's life. With Saya and Julis he finally got over his fear and insecurity. I have no idea what Ayato means by "awakened" but perhaps he's extended his power's limits? There's still so much about his seal we don't understand. With that said, the stage does seem set up to have the twins win so next episode will have to be a major turn around. |

| all of the girls in this anime should learn their lessons and they won't even win on those twins even for the guy this ep is just like Waterloo |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| Saya best girl of this anime. Too bad that the fight is split in two part ... |
| The best moment of the episode for me was the flashback and how strong his sister was. Overall it really feels so mediocre (maybe even less), don't know, the fights don't have any appeal at all. And i don't want to talk about them using some "cheap" tactics, just let it slide and whatever. Still waiting for at least something decent to happen for it to be somehow worth finishing. |

Ryuutobi said: That's their Plan A (best case scenario). Their Plan B was Ayato's hidden second lux. They knew from the match records that the twin love to play around with their losing opponent before finishing them, so they aimed for a surprise attack during that very moment. Though, it turned out that the twin was more cautious than they thought. I meant the entire plan in general. Their "plan B" sucked just as much. Even their plan in the previous battle was better thought out. I really don't understand how they even came up with such a weak plan even after their previous enemy told them that cheap tricks won't work on the twins. |
