Another episode of Rei dealing with a case. This week though, we got more of Kiyoshi taking the charge.

I'm still underwhelmed by Rei's role in this series. She just seemss to be overshadowed by whoever she's paired up with. However, I will say that she's kinda courageous though, and standing up against a bunch of guys at once. I also wasn't expecting a bit of violence to develop this episode.

Continuing w. the recruit. To move freely, she cut her hair and pair of shoes. This ep. w. Revel. 4 guys (friends?) w. all successful business of their own, but seems to have sad past.

The only medium character is now ugly with her short hair.
The other characters are so empty, this show is so wrong.
I still hope for a better developpement.

The worst thing that could happen to a show with dozen of hot guys is that none of them stand out. Yes, they're all ikemen, I could one night stand with them, but I won't choose any of them as my wife.

They do all have names right? Because I have no clue on their names. I think that lays the main issue: None of these characters have names I could even remember and I just have to rely on their colored hair. I'm basically doing what I did with Ensamble Stars except that show has some life in it. This somehow feels drab and gray even with the different colors.

Also, while they weren't as prominent, the lights in the corners were still there. They are still obnoxious as ever.
It really do be like that though.

How can Rei-chan handle to be around so many beautiful guys? I personally couldn’t. xD I can’t say the story is all that interesting so far, but the eye candy is nice.

What I don't understand is why are men watching this ? Even I think it's kinda plain and i'm disappointed because the game was good.

I'm not a middle aged housewife in need of affection so I can't relate to the main and DEFINITELY can't like all the other men,
This really boring to watch I feel like the whole story is a just an excuse to show various dates in various restaurants/public places.

Yeah, that Aki was a piece of shit, especially when he gave Rei that glass with the drug. She should've just threw it back at his face. She's really too kind to take that much abuse for just a job.

Keita on the other was better, and a little bit kinder. I liked how he protected her from those guys after they hit her, that means he considers her important to him. But I was more annoyed by Hatori for not protecting her from the two when they first met.

The hair part was actually funny!

Like most people here, I haven't learnt anyone's name yet with the exception of the main character.

The green-haired man could pass for Midoriya's older brother or cousin.

I find people really harsh with this one.
It's really not that bad. In comparison to other adaptation from otome games, the MC is quite interesting and has some personality. The others characters are not bad too and all the police and drugs theme is kinda new.
And the opening and ending themes are good too.

HA even girls just wanna have fun, NOT the wrong way of course.

Having seen both Otome and former Prince of Tennis studio M.S.C's offerings, I'd say that why the studio is still functioning to this day is beyond me. I mean, Prince of Tennis was a series unique to its own, and the tonal shift to ikemen/Otome games is just breaking bad, considering that said series ended like a few years ago, and it's Otome game to anime adaptations have basically been shitty trash.

Just for lols? I mean for @Stark700 he's watching it in RAW Japanese as the starter discussion, others like myself for interest and to try. And of course, the games are always going to be the superior version anyways.

Back to this episode, trying hard to account for EVERYONE's characterization? The more MC female lead Rei Izumi treads on most of the guys she's trying to recruit into the new force that is STAND, the more she will be the damsel in distress. With that said, where Episode 1 was only the icing on the cake, this episode didn't really discussed a lot of it, much less development. Just hoping that this show knows how it wants to progress for our critiques.

YES they have, it's just in a gray area that is whether you'd try to NOTE (NOT remember) them down or forget about it.

-Man, if someone interrupted my important meeting after a few minutes for another important meeting, I'd be pissed.
-Good Lord, that was some bitchslap. That's a thousand-dollar bitchslap. Did you see how much stuff he broke?
-So I'm guessing each episode is going to center around a different character? This episode we learned a lot about green-haired man. I wonder if there will be any big plot.
I mean, it's not bad so far, it's just a completely average anime to me. Maybe that will change. I mean, it's only been 2 episodes.

>I just have to rely on their colored hair.
Hahaha. Glad to see someone's in the same boat as me.

Okay, look, call me what you will, but based on the synopsis alone, I was not expecting a reverse-Harem. I have 0 dropped anime, and don't plan on dropping anything, so I'm kind of stuck now.
I've trapped myself.
But it's not terrible so far, so it's not like I'm suffering.
As for other men, I don't know. I think a lot of folks are in the same boat as me. I just picked the anime this season that I thought looked the most interesting. Some guys probably have a different reason. Then you've got people like the OP who seem to watch every single show of the season.

Yet another so-so episode. I feel so lost, I don't get the story much and I definitely can't tell which hot dude is who. I try to identify them by their hair but it's still very tricky.

Same, I find it hard to distinguish between Rei's boss and the dark-haired man she talks to the most when they're in the same wrong, I have to tell them apart by voice. I'll still stick with the story though.

Oh yeah, I'd add doujin Izuku as well, only the freckles and the green eyes are missing.

Maki is best boy, please leave Revel and join STAND. Also lol at Maki's boyfriend (kagura) getting all jealous after the date with Rei.

Triggered Maki is wow.

Mc is recruiting some potential people for STAND, each with their own personality and what they are known for....but damn I just can't really see anything distinctive from most of those male characters let alone their names

So far the guys I can point out are Maki (green hair dude) and Htori (red pony tail dude), I already forgot about some characters from last episode

This was a good episode. The plot seems to be developing quite nicely. Seems to be one of those plots that will take a bit to develop and have the characters start the task, which is fine for me. I really like those kinds of stories. I just hope it doesn't take so long that all the action happens in the last few episodes.
