Oh boy, Akko and Amanda in the same group. That's just a recipe for argument.

Thought this episode was pretty intense with the magical creatures. It felt like an adventure LWA style and we get to meet a giant dragon. Also interesting to hear more info dump about their world.

Akko's stubbornness showed this episode in her own way though, as expected.

Fafnir the greedy dragon.
And Ako creating trouble ones again, if one thing is clear it's that Ako will be spending a lot of time doing things for punishment.
Anyway some new girls appeared and they seem the have some funny tricks up their sleeves.

I really like Jasminka and Constanze! They are awesome and they barely speak, that's their charm. I really enjoyed this episode a lot especially the little hints of Akko' true motivation, make people fall in love with magic the same way Chariot made her fall in love with magic.

Diana casually shitting all over the dragon. Based.

Powerpuff Girls reference to start off the episode lol

I don't actually think that Akko's too annoying, her scenes with Amanda were great.

Well after a couple of episodes we took a break and had just slice of life stories, we are back to action, and with the exception of Ursula who is not in this episode, we use all of our main characters to play important episodes and show casing their skills and what they do best.

Having Akko and Amanda get in trouble and get into detention, it is a redo of Parade, only this time it just them and not their whole respective groups.

While Diana is Akko's rival because they are opposites or two sides of the same coin, Amanda she is Akko's rival because they are too much alike. Though if the three of them could get along they could be unstoppable team, hopefully by series end we get some development on that, especially if we going to have a plot and a big bad.

So we meet this dragon, and he actually talks and has intelligence of a human. I love in the end, he was just a bill collector and kind of a con man.

I thought we might have been headed towards a magic show fund raiser, would be a way to redo Parade, but nope Diana to save the day. But it was in direct, Akko and Amanda determination and willingness to break the rules, and Diana's talent and intelligence saves the day. Like I said, if they can only work together.

Well we do get some progression, Akko does acknowledge that she does respect Diana. Anyway another good episode, I do wish Sucy will get her own episode, though that would be something.

Man this series is progressing nicely

1. Constanze is awesome and I love her

2. All Akko needed in the beginning was Chemical X and she could have made the Powerpuff Girls lololol

3. I really dug the dragon straight up till the end....That guy was great

4. LOVED the dynamic between Akko and Amanda from the beginning to the end and I'm glad that they have that kind of relationship so hopefully they'll build more on that in the future too

5. Diana is too damn perfect lol, like is there anything that she can't do

Great episode overall though

As much as I want to say that I liked this episode for all the shit that I enjoyed especially those Constanze scenes, I just can't helped but think there's something wrong with the episode like wtf that feeling when Diana knew the Dinotopia cryptic language more than the rest of the faculty of Luna Nova is just eehhh make the faculty more of a worthless adults, and then there's this stuff with Akko, as much as I'm a big fcking fan of Akko (especially the reaction faces I got from that shit), I just can't help but think that she's more of an arrogant bratty prick again with all talk but can't back it up just like in the 2nd OVA, well not like I care as much about it as the 2nd OVA anyway since its a 25 ep TV series so I think there may be a chance that she will get her development somehow (Don't disappoint me Trigger), also there's some quality drop in animation that I'm noticing so I think that red flag send by Tattun in 4ch is true I guess lmao

I think there won't be anything like 'main villain' here, at least not till the finale maybe. This show even in OVAs was 'episodic'.. so don't expect more than that, or you might be disappointed. I personally love it. Every episode a new adventure, trouble or whatever. It's amusing. But I guess there are some people like you who don't enjoy it. Eh..

I did enjoy the fact that's Diana who saved them all in the end. Who did expect that? I'm looking forward her growth in the social skills' department (where she lacks, obviously).

When Akko made light with her magical wand, I guess that's the first time we see her using magic without Chariot's wand.

This is dragging on like PKMN Sun and Moon.
I don't hate episodic anime, but the action scenes with the magic and the fights aren't doing it for me, and the humor is nothing impressive either.
The dragon caring about money was a slight surprise at least.
I expect more of these slight plot twists and simple humor/action, based on how these last 5 episodes have gone out.
As much as it annoys me though, I'll adhere to my no drop policy.

We've already seen that she's not a sore loser, and that she doesn't like taking credit that isn't due her. i.e. She has integrity. She doesn't come across as arrogant to me, just extremely blunt and tactless, and is a person who expects everyone else to take things as seriously as she does.

I for one am glad that they are probably going to be doing most of the series in an episodic format. Not everything needs to be some grand epic of never ending plot points and twists. Sometimes things can just be little slices of fun.

Seriously, how did this episode manage to be so boring? The tension was absolutely non-existance, the animation was sub par, the plot paper-thin. Apart from cuteness I don't really see what this series has going for it down the line.
I also missed TotallyNotChariot-sensei, she seems like the only character that has more depth than the absolute surface level.

This is probably my least favourite episode yet, I feel the episodic nature is getting dry and dull. I don't mind episodic, but I just want more from this series, like some kind of small arc or coherency where it feels more adventurous.

Still a decent and episode though, hopefully the next episode is more fun though.

Fafnir's one stock market style brainbox, with those huge monitors everywhere. Still, he's as greedy as usual, but thankfully Diana put him in his place with the contract which has now become invalidated, thus removing the debt that the school owes him.

Speaking of Diana, she might be hugely talented, smart and beautiful, but she has faults just like anyone else. Her social skills with Akko and the other does make her look a bit snobbish, but she's only doing what needs to be done, unlike her two friend Hannah and Barbara, whose only contribution is to put salt into Akko's wounds. Those two are pure snobs. ¬__¬

But since there's 20 episodes left, I'm sure that whatever main fault that Diana has, it'll be touched upon soon enough, whether in episodic form or in a form of a small story arc.

Amanda's funny and enjoyable, but it's also good to see her work with Akko when the other girls were kidnapped, despite their constant ego clashes.

Overall, it was another good episode. =)

Well I think Diana's fault or not really a fault more of a weakness is lofty expectation put upon her and trying to live up to them. I really do believe if we ever meet her parents their reaction to her grades would be not impressed or at least that is expected and not give her any credit and say "you still have a long way to go to catch up to your older sister(s)."

I think that is why Diana is the way she is, she comes from a very strict and cold upbringing.Though in my head canon I like to think Diana sister or sisters or at least one of them if she has more than one is kind and supportive despite how her parents bring her sister accomplishment to her face and put her down.

This whole episode was just utterly useless filler. Most information and motivations, that were shown in this episode, we already knew about before. Basically only new info we found out was that smartest girl on campus knows how to read Ancient Dragonese ....wow... You could just cut out whole episode and you wouldn't miss anything important.

Most of the reveals in this episode came out of nowhere and they should have had much more backstory for justifing those reveals. F.e Financial trouble of school would have been perfect idea for an episode.. episode where for examples students need to come up with an idea that could make school more profitable and more popular.. Instead they copped out on that idea and instead had a reveal from nowhere that dragon is a fraud and there is no financial trouble after all.. Great.. Trigger just gave up on a quite unique idea for an episode and instead went with very generic and predictable reveal.. Also this finacial trouble would have made more sense when we would have actually seen effects of this financial trouble before hand. In previous episodes we saw school in a perfect state and that is why we had no way of guessing that school is stuggling financially. Reaveal of financial troubles should have had proper build up and it should have not came out of blue..

Utter waste of time. 0/5

That's not correct, Akko uses magic in episode 3 to light up the cannon she is standing in. Which leads to the fact I'm slightly bothered by how we haven't seen a montage where Akko casts her first legit spell in a class and gets excited over it.

Thank you. Indeed I'm surprised too. A first time should be an important event above all if they want to show Akko's progression. Maybe they'll do a flashback.

I really love Diana and I can't wait until they develop her and give her more screen time other than saving the day or acting superior (But far from selfish and rude, unlike her annoying followers)

Just look at her in this state, there is obviously more emotion to her than we've seen in the tv version so far. And I hope the fact that she was also a fan of Chariot when she was younger is not going to be forgotten. I just need to know more about her and her backstory soon!

Listen I am sure Diana has that final Chariot card, and I am sure is going to come into play one day.

Anyway I like to bring up that 3 way argument that Akko, Amanda, and Diana had, it was so cute, it is like they were sisters fighting. I know they might all be the same age and what not, and who knows who is older than who But I want to give them roles.

Diana - the know is all older sister. Being the oldest, she feels when the parents aren't around, she has to keep everyone in line and be their parent, but she means well.

Amanda - the rebellious middle sister, she has a chip on her soldier, but will be there for your when you need her.

Akko - the naive youngest sister, she sees the world as her playground and doesn't sweet the small stuff But her naive innocence can open the hearts.
