Cool episode. Nice to see Saya and Ayato having a little chat. All of the girls looked beautiful in their dresses but Saya's dress was the best. Julis' big brother with all those lovers lol, reminds me of a certain MC that I know.

Having read a few of the comments regarding the pacing of the show, I am glad I didn't (don't) read manga or LN so just watching the anime as is wouldn't bother me as much as those who did.

Season 3, season 3! Come on, you HAVE to give us a season 3 or a movie or something after teasing the Gryps Festa. It would be so bad ass to see all 5 of them team up. Also the fact that Claudia doesn't appear in season 2 much, she even said so herself in one of the post credits scene, the Gryps Festa is a good event to see Claudia and her abilities in action. At the end of the last episode there better be a screencard of "Season 3" or I'm flipping some tables.

I like how this episode gave a preview of how Claudia's team will be set up for the Gryps festa. Saya and Julis will provide artillery while Claudia, Kirin, and Ayato will do the close combat.
Around and around the cycle goes.

I really don't like how A-1 Pictures adapted this serie so far. It could be a good serie, even if it was generic, it could be more fun to watch if they just spent more time&money on this anime. I really think that some of the scenes could be adapted a little bit better, especially Ayato and Saya scene. the music don't fit many scenes in this season too ;/
And the whole talk about the next fiest was sooo rushed! I had to check everything in google to know what's going on lol What is this fiesta and the players. I don't know why it even got mentioned all of the sudden, because I believe that they could make it a little better if it was just a promotion of the light novel. Or just a new season, but I don't think there will be a third season, but i kinda hope so! I really want to see tose fights adpated :o Never seen 5vs5 battle in anime :D This could be interesting af

Here i am, wondering if saya will be thrown away by ayato. Guess not, huh?

The story is very fast-paced. I expect 1-2 more episode after festa, but they slam it right away with another tournament.

just, please asterisk, if you want to rush the story, give me a scene of that undercover diva again.

Gypsy Festa seems WAY tougher than the other festas and Claudia says she stands more of a chance there? fishy.

Winter vacation and they al;l go to Julis's place and we meet her brother and find out the circumstances of the family and land.
A ball party and a old man is send to kill them, he just sends chimera but it's not enough.

Mature women alright ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Julis' brother has so many lovers? Lol. Seems like more of a calm episode this time, until the ending. I enjoyed it. Especially the girls were cute. I wonder who that old man was, but Ayato even has his skills without weapon. Neat.

Seems like there'll be another Festa and only two episodes left.... S3 please.

I like this arc, political and personal problems are strongly involved in the plot, which in my opinion gives more depth to the work, I think this is the first challenge that the new team of Ayato will face until the arrival of the next Festa, I am really looking forward to see the characters that will appear in the next episodes ..

is it really fishy though? I mean theyre the top 5 students in that school martial wise. Then add to the fact that she doesnt have to fight Ayato to win the Gryps festa. Then add that 2 of the people on her team just won the Phoenix festa. All that together makes it a pretty straight forward decision to inv them to be on her team lol. Whats fishy to me is why people dont want anyone on her team in the first place.

They all look good in those dresses. >.<

Holy crap, they are introducing the Gryps festa with a full team this time? They don't have enough episodes to cover that. I hope they announce another cour for this since I am very interested.

This episode made us realize that the participants in the Phoenix festa are all weak... and some schools dominate the other two types of Festa (Gallahadworth for the Gryps while LeWolf on the Lindwurm).

We seriously need more Claudia screen time, she has been a background character since.

When they've said that there is another Phoenix Festa but with 5 vs 5, i was like "this needs to happen, we need S3" xD
It seems that there is much more plot behind Julis Country's crisis...
I really hope this season will end with Ayato's sister getting saved by him or something like that.

The girls were very cute in this episode, Kirin as always so shy xD And and Saya's swag face ahahaha so funny :D

We need S3!

Well, the director chose to cut her scene for some reason. As L-Ryoshi mentioned, the LN has a scene in the airport where Sylvia invited Ayato for a three days date in the next school festival. It was by a video call btw.

Going by what L-Ryoshi mentioned, it's a shame that certain important chapters was cut. Despite that, this episode was still good and enjoyable.

I already hate the Integrated Enterprise Foundation. By the sounds of it, it's too controlling for the king of Julis' homeland. It already reminds me of the annoyances with today's government and the EU honestly. -__-

Although I'm surprised that Julis' brother has many lovers even though he's married. I guess polygamy(I think that's the right word) seems to be acceptable for the higher-ups in this country.

The girls looked fantastic in their dresses for the party. Sadly, the party was ruined by the old man who wanted Ayato to not team up with Claudia for the interesting 5v5 Festa that'll happen in the future. His laugh at the end was absolutely weird. O_O

The best part, by far, was when Flora came to gather Ayato's group. For the whole scene, she spoke with a serious voice that didn't go off the charts in the pitch department. If only her voice was like that for every time she spoke, then a lot more people will start to like her. =)

Kirin and Saya are still best girls, I liked the part where they were both linking arms with Ayato. I really hope we get a season 3 so we can see this new festa and all the main characters fighting together. It just seems like with only 2 episodes left its going to leave off on a cliff hanger.

Not bad of an episode. Just out of curiosity, why does this anime get quite a bit of hate? I'm still a bit confused. It's not bad at all. Why is it always compared to Rakudai as well? I understand that their similar and all.

I'm guessing it's because the first season, or at least the first couple episodes, didn't leave a very strong impression. To top it off, Rakudai was airing alongside it, which gave people the opportunity to compare the two and further criticize the show.

E.g. Both first episodes had the classic MC walks into a girl changing scene; Asterisk decided to go with the more generic embarrassed and violent reaction, while Rakudai pulled off something never before seen, hence people say Asterisk is trash and Rakudai is revolutionary.

One thing that I got to admit, Claudia keeps getting more mysterious as the episodes roll by. For example. what are her intentions? Is her "love" for Ayato a simple ruse? Are the people around her pawns for her to use?

Claudia arc would be the Gryph arc which comes right after the school festival arc (Sylvia arc). So yes, another season is needed for it to come. It is an arc that is longer than any of the preceding arcs btw.

i think it's a great show. most of the reason because of the Action scene, especially at Ayato beating up the beast. and the last one is for the plot development. i never expected that there are many festa out there and they are planning to attend to one of them as a group. now that is what i was waiting for from the beginning. just gonna be honest here, i want another season. i really really want to see the other festa or i want to see more fight especially group fight. it's gonna be awsome, moreover there will be more new character incoming. it's gonna be entertaining to me AND on top of that, there is still this older sister problem.......

i kinda bet that Ayato's sister would ended up attending that other festa for various reasons as Ayato's enemy.....

i think the plot just escalated pretty higher and i really like it.
really hope for another season but.......i wonder how is the sales going.....
and i really like an harem,ecchi anime series which is focusing more on the main plot rather than the ecchi/harem development or entertaiment. well, it's not like i dislike it but still, i prefer this way :D it's more interesting and entertaining imo. both would be more awsome too :D i mean equally executed.....if possible tho.....i know it's possible but it would be difficult (?)....

next week will be the last episode....
i need to watch the next episode ASAP xD

The backstory about Julis' country was interesting and depressing, no wonder she wants to change it.

The girls in dresses were beautiful. Kirin's bust size bothers me a little though.

The appearance of the chimera was pretty ridiculous, but the fight was cool.
