----------------------------------------
Well, it looks like they're really giving more time to bond between Iska and Alice in this series. Too bad not everyone is trusts Iska such as Rin. Alice also seems more open to him now than before. That scene with her in the towels though lul

As far as their relationship goes, I guess it's cute but but nothing really special at this point. On the other hand, Rin might be someone to watch out for given her unpredictable she can be.

Well it was interesting for the Iska - Alice development, Rin really tried to kill Iska with the knife wtf and not to mention naked Alice at the end lol
Also that's a nice strategy for the Iska rescue, it definitely seems interesting.

One of my fave eps yet. I thought Rin had started getting past her dislike for Iska, but man was I wrong. Wasn’t expecting her to come at him like that.

Alice’s face when she asked iska what he thought of her was so adorable. She’s so innocent.

Overall a fun episode that set up Salinger entering the fray next week. Last few episodes should be really interesting

Well, it was quite a good episode, finally more time and a little development between Iska and Alice. Personally, I dislike the slow pace the anime is taking, but..oh well, we've to see what happens in the next 5 episodes

While Iska, Alice and Rin still is alright.

I'm more curious on how the captain is honestly lol. With how she'll handle being a 'witch' now. Feel like that's more interesting than the supposed 'love' stuff atm. I know they're technically going on a rescue mission for him, but yeah.

Iska's kidnapping, and Alice benefits from them all with some fanservice.

Another Nebulis Sovereign city (Province 13, Alcatroz) with a potentially deadlier ally/enemy Salinger the Transcender, and Insider Risya takes heavy precautions for Unit N07's infiltration to continue the secret ops mission, whilst Alice and Rin sure has tons of fun playing around with Iska. By the power of OPPAI the swordsman awakens!

Iska under the captivity of Rin sure makes for a self-disguise plan to assault him in one shot, and Alice takes over to ensure his "safety" by chaining both of them together for some "relationship" hijinks a.k.a walking naked into the room with Rin and Iska, and thought exchanges.

Time for the Transcender Demon Salinger to strike...next week. Mildly interesting...

Well guess spiking his drink wasn't enough for Rin, now she wants to kill Iska, to bad Alice caught caught Rin before she could kill Iska.

A lot of bonding between Iska and Alice this episode and towel scene was...xDD.

"Paradise, Alice's Longest Night". Can we get a part two of this lol?

OK episode :)

How should I put it, this ep was the most boring episode out of all the series so far. Comedy wasn't pretty good, and the only action was the fight between Iska and Rin, which ended in like 30 sec or something like that. The fan service was a little bit forced in my opinion as well.

Only thing I wish to look forward is more action-packed scenes and the real reason why glasses Saint Disciple approached demon something guy.
Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die.
I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die.
Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness
I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart.

Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing.
I can't remember what happened anymore, but
If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice
For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure.

Good episode.

Alice looking absolutely gorgeous after coming out of that bath. Loved all her flustered moments in the car too.

I like that Iska is straight faced through the whole thing but I wish he had some kind of monologue to show that he was at least a little embarrassed given that he does look away and tell her to wear some clothes.

Anyway, Alice and Iska's interactions are the main draw for me in this show and as long as they focus on it. Consider me satisfied.

Not a bad episode.

So Iska is in enemy territory and captain Mismis and the group are in to rescue Iska.
Why do I have the feeling that Risya plans to use them as pawns to get this Salinger guy.

This episode had pretty solid fanserv‒ err, I mean, character development.

Also a decent joke:
The clueless "rescue team" has no idea of what is actually happening. "Oh no, we have to rescue Iska from a dark jail cell." And in reality he is in a hotel room in the middle of a fanservice session. Good job, guys. Top tier rescue efforts.

This episode ended too quickly :(

I love how cute Alice was playing with Iska cheeks, being really excited over such a small thing (aren't we all get excited over simples things?), that was so cute.
Iska did manage to sleep on her for a bit ^^
Scene with Rin trying to assassinate Iska was great. "If Alice-sama was here she would have stopped me"
Lol'd at Alice and Rin handcuffed

One complaint I have is that we didn't really see how they infiltrated the prison, that was kinda disappointing

Iska sure is experiencing plenty of new situations in life starting with being taken prisoner while on leave. Hmm so infiltrating the Nebulis's territory by disguising yourself as a witch huh crafty move. It was so cute seeing Alice toy with Iska's cheeks and compare it. Iska's counterattack as he admonished Alice was just as fun. The prison province though sure has quite the unique economy in housing prisoners from other countries for a fee. Alice though sure picked the best time to check on Iska and Rin though. The chain dilemma sure was amusing. Though considering the length using the toilet and bath should be fine. Though bed wise Iska will have to sleep near Alice I guess. Alice's question to Iska near the end about her crest though sure was a curious one but is nice that both were able to forge a new relationship with each other as rivals. MisMis's team though looks to be in dire straits if Risya aims to free the demon from the prison though. Overall an interesting ep that combined great plot advancement with character expansion and comedy via Alice and Iska's new relationship. Feels like a storms about to hit though.

Needed more Alice fan service. There wasn't enough. I just don't see how in five episodes any romance will blossom between these two as they are vastly focused on their ideals for themselves and their countries.

Jhin was the MVP of this episode covering up for Mismis. But with the amount of information Risya might already know about Mismis. I mean she even says "Wow that looks almost real!"

Yeah im hoping for a season 2 at the end of episode 12

Also new smug face.

Am I the only one who thought them playing this for laughs so much was more off putting than actually being funny. Iska was legit drugged and taken prisoner, that's decently fucked up imo. Alice, like I said last episode, should be way more upset by Rin doing this and going against everything she's said these last couple episodes. When Rin was attacking Iska and said that if Alice was standing there why hasn't she stopped her, I was wondering that too!!! Like Holy hell why is Alice causally OK with this. Iska seemed way calmer than he should've been too. I'd be furious to have been drugged by someone I respected from the battlefield, even if they were an enemy. I mean him and Alice had many good meeting beforehand then to be suddenly taken prisoner by her would be a whirlwind dynamic shift. Suffice to say I was much more interested in the subplot this episode with the rest of 907th breaking into that prison. Very smart of Jhin to mark Mismis where she just got her actual astral mark so they can buy a weeks worth of time to figure that out. This prisoner Salinger could be an interesting new wild card.

I think it would be better if at the end, when he was being chased by Alice, Iska yelled "Rin! Save me! Save me!" Putting a touch of irony.

Iska the Oblivious and Alice the Goofball. Truly a kind of pairing!

Can't be fanservice when they show nothing

I liked the pacing of this episode, but it more fits a longer series than a 12 episode one. The background tracks in the first half was actually nice. Having read the manga only, I hoped Alice's dialogue coming out of the bath would be: "Why there is an Iska here? " Would have been way funnier.

Clever way of temporary covering that astral crest on Mismis's shoulder. She can just about run free for now. Hope they don't find out about the real one.

Ofcourse Rin would make an attempt to kill Iska while he's cuffed. Didn't succeed though as Alice caught her. That towel scene afterwards though, Alice is an airhead, but a beautiful airhead nonetheless.

Everytime I see that Crest on Alice's back, I have to think about that angel Jeanne d'arc/Ruler.

Well, its looks like these episode to provided an overview of Iska about what he thought about Alice. A rival at the battlefield, eh? Interesting, you already treated those girl a nice deal to began. And heck, Alice felt happy because she wanted to treated like that too! What a sweet talk, and full of cuteness from both of them. But, please, Alice, wore your damn clothes already and lessen your aggresiveness, ffs .... But Rin line there was precious. Her fight, tho, i feel a chemistry there. But at the same time, i felt bad for her too, standing alone within those two lovebirds. What a true cockblocker those maid was. If only she had the same interest too, this might turned out lewder than Alice did in the end. LOL!

Left aside my damn mind, its interesting to see another different scheme from Risya, that utilized Iska's unit precisely as a bait to disguised her own advantages at those area. Well, i still don't know how the hell she could entering those demon transcendant room. But alas, lets continued how they could deal with their own problems that looks like become a chaos again in the next episode.

Great episode, I like how Iska is just vibing. He's just chilling while he's held captive lmao, well except when Rin started stabby stabby.

Iska's team definitely getting played by Risya, though what purpose does Risya have in bringing them there. Probably just distraction for that transcendent demon or something to escape.

Also really liked Alice this episode, my favorite character in this show, not like there is any competition so far. Looking forward to the next episode.

Also, how did Risya not notice Mismis' real tattoo when Jhin peeled the bandage away? (unless it was assumed that she was looking somewhere else)

A funny episode! Alice showed her naked body to Iska, and now she wants to see Iska's body. lmao. I must say, Alice's astral crest is beautiful.

Risya looks powerful, she was able to enter the Sovereignty area without going through the checkpoint and infiltrating the prison seems like a walk in the park. Welp, she's a Saint Disciple.

Salinger looks powerful too!

Of course this series had to have a demon lord, that's the only thing it was missing, lol. Although there's a lot of clichés in this show that just make it almost unbearable to watch, I'm definitely enjoying the art style and the dynamic between Alice and Iska. And the amount of fanservice in this episode, oh yee ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It is pretty bad as a show though. I'm literally only watching for Alice at this point.

Lucky Iska. I'm sure they went threesome after Alice and Rin saw Iskas junk. Alice is a shy girl but Rin is lowkey pervert in bed.

Honestly kind of ruined the entire show for me. I hate the fact that Iska didn't get angry or lose trust after being drugged and captured in neutral city. I know it's just a show and shouldn't have to be realistic, but the emotion should at least be there. I enjoyed this anime believing it was mainly action with cool magical elements and a little comedy on the side, but now they're turning it into a romcom and dropping all the aspects that made me take this seriously.

As expected Alice's body is great. Wish it had more Ecchi but I still appreciated what I got to see.
Weird Iska didn't mind being drugged and captured but well, I won't complain since Alice made up for it by showing her smooth body.

Can't wait for them to become a couple, I haven't read the manga so that's just what I'm hoping for.

The fanservice in this episode is ALL THE WAY. Now if you see my post in the last week's episode, I went full sour there. But I'll forgive them for the payback they gave us.

When Alice decides to merge Iska's cuffs to her...is that some...uhm...master, let me be your pet for the day. Yep the freaking blushes never stop as she went out realizing that she only has her towels!
TOWEL ONLY! Man the show briefly went into ecchi harem style this week.

What are the other things to mention uhm...I guess the crew will rescue Iska and Risya meets with that guy that's going to be important in the next episodes.
