For a semi-final match, this was unfortunately short and underwhelming. At least the animation of the fight was pretty good though.

The girl at the end arrived in good time, but I'm not sure if she can be trusted or not. We'll see about that next week.

The episode was okay, but I can't get enough of that ending song.

The match was clearly too easy, but it's possible to go so far in the tournament if you only face bad teams. I'm looking forward for the final.

The tournament round was surprisingly disappointing. They had bigger problems in earlier rounds and this was the semi-final. Like... How did their enemy get this far? Ayato couldn't even use his actual weapon and it didn't look like Julis had any problems either.

The end was kinda interesting though. Is it possible that was his sister? That would be a little bit too easy to be honest but there has to happen anything or we'll get another boring battle except this time Ayato and Julis would lose.

I don't know who is that girl but there is one thing that i am sure, is that she is the only one who can save him.
Love the ED song, it's so good.

And i remember about the meeting in the 1st season with all student council, they all were showed as some smart masterminds so i expected each school to have crazy representatives, which in this case doesn't seem like so.
Nah, only half of them belong to the cunning type. They're Fan Xinglu of Jielong, Dirk Eberwein of Le Wolfe, & Claudia Enfield of Seidoukan. Galahadworth's Ernest is too honest & chivalrous to scheme anything. And, Allekant's student council is pretty much just a paper-stamping council as the president said himself in that meeting.

Also, the anime didn't convey this but each school is unique. They have their own organization & curriculum which naturally produce different results. If we gauge their strength by their result in Festas, then only Jielong is well rounded in strength. Seidoukan often gets good result in Phoenix but not so good in the other Festas. It's Gryph for Galahadworth & Lindvolus for Le Wolfe.

As for the remaining two schools...

Allekant is a meteo engineering school that was specially built for kids who want to realize their dream machine/device through manadite based technology. Their result in Festas is totally dependant on whether they can invent something useful for the tournament or not. Basically, they can only get good result whenever someone make a groundbreaking invention like the robot pair this time. That said, it's usually just a one shot thing because the other schools would've prepared some sort of countermeasure by the next festa.

Queensvale is an idol school for genestella girls. The school was built for attractive genestella girls who posses talent(s) in any field other than combat. The school nurture those talents & act as temporary manager for the girls until they graduate. For most of those girls, Festa is no more than a promotional stage before their professional debut. It is no wonder that they very rarely produce any notable result in Festas & people consider this school as the weakest in Asterisk.

here we go again! robots that has a will of it's own...if that happens it's the end of the world LOLZ!
That was an easy will for Ayato & Julis, I thought that Galahadworth team is tough but not really...I had high hopes though...
4/5.

The fight was okay. The midget has nice skills, but is just not on Ayato's level, either way he fought well.

The big dude was way too reckless.

I'm curious, what kind of deal the wacky engineer made with Dirk McDouche.

Wow, this show was pretty mediocre and disappointing (not as bad as what I just watched, World Break Holy Swordsman) but once they kidnapped this chick and blackmailed them. After he FINALLY gets his damn power and can be badass an OP, that I was looking forward to the WHOLE time, now because some dumb F'n maid shows up and is a moron, so stupid. Makes no sense for the robot ladies to work with him, and it's just so irritating I'm ready to skip to the end just to see the 'conclusion'. I'm so sick of stupid Anime, some of it is so good, and some is SOOO stupid it gives me a headache. Also the MC is a moron, so clueless, why do these writers always write stupid morons who someone have women all about them.

I thought those Galahad guys would be a lot more formidable. They got beat so easily for Page Ones.

Ernesta is so lickable! I wanna lick every inch of her body so bad!

Hmm, that chick in the end. Is that Haruka with a different hair color?
