| Yikes, Anya's test scores aren't good but she remains fearless in helping others. One of the problems with her test cores is that she relies far too much on her power. Kids and their imaginations are so funny these days though, epecially from Becky. This was also a good setup for the next episode/part 1 finale imo. |
 |
| Man that smirk… who would believe she’s a six year old kid lol. Also it isn’t just studies, Anya pretty much has that sorry performance in almost any other thing, unfortunately. Shouldn't laugh but still just can’t help myself here. Though it isn’t like any good deed needs some extraordinary abilities, so proud of Anya saving that kid from drowning. And of course she got appreciated too, FIRST STELLA ACQUIRED. Y'all better bow down to Starlight Anya now. Finally the time has come to welcome the real Superstar, everyone’s best friend. Next episode will be fun. |
 |
| Lol, Anya hates studying and calls her Papa a meanie, well that’s Papa’s objective to get her to infiltrate the target’s social circle and for that to happen, Anya must gain entry to the imperial scholar honor society through earning merits and exceptional academic performances. Anya is actually smart and somewhat relatable because gaining other people’s help for a certain subject will help her ace through all the subjects at her best. Also, I feel really bad for her because she’s being trained so strictly, heck even Loid realized it. They’re participating in community service I suppose, she’s being told what she's supposed to but did all the other way around, well she was able to save a boy from getting drowned, she earns herself that stella tbf Loid helped her! Also, swimming is a very difficult exercise (Honestly not that hard if you don’t complain about the cold water that people may feel right when they’re going in the pool) for some but gotta learn from the beginning so that you won’t drown yourself. Well now that Anya got herself a stella star, she’s going by the call, “Starlight Anya” and with that doing on her, everyone seems either like, “Woah she got a stella star how cool!!!” or just oppose her because they’re jealous, that stella star is hard to earn anyways, but Damian, on the other hand, spoke like a brave man. Well, we need a cute dog, not an aggressive one for sure. Bond was introduced, well that could be a chance for Anya in the latter to interact with Damian and help with Loid’s mission. The next episode is the last episode... (Think they're adapting the extra chapters too otherwise the finale wont make sense at all lol)) |

"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| Anya may not be book smart, which is obvious from her test scores, but she's really good when it comes to quick thinking in a pinch. Good for her saving that boy from drowning, and earning her first Stella star 🎉🎉🎉 We got a little tease of as a cliffhanger, but it looks like the final episode is gonna backtrack and adapt one of the side story chapters. Makes sense, since it would be pretty dumb to start the next arc in the finale lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| She finally did it! That was pretty impressive of her to do that. I think that making Becky call her Starlight Anya is a little far though. I'm excited to see what kind of dog they will get. I do wonder why the dog in the cage was a little scared, was it thinking about the Forgers? |

 This never updates so that's cool |
| Looks like the best boy is going to make his debut next Episode. Anya really has the best faces, she was already smug without a Stella, and now that she got one, she was smugger than ever. |
 |
| I was 1 step away from dying in the pool today....i can't express how bad i was feeling for that kid... The episode was fine ... And Anya's expressions are getting better.. |
| Haven't found a good anime dialogue to copy yet!! |
| Good job saving the boy and getting a stella. Damian acting mature was nice too. Also finally time for the dog next episode. |
 |
| Finally, the only one who doesnt lie in the family appears. |
" Kindness can sometimes lead you to trouble. "  |
| It's kinda frustrating how hopeless Anya is but it turned out to be nice in the end. She's lucky to have Becky as her bestfriend. Finally Bond !! |

| Anya is not a genius, she lacks the academic prowess her classmates have, and she lacks the physical abilities that are expected of her and the artistic capabilities that she's expected to employ as a student from a highly prestigious school.However, there is more to see than one's own concept of competence. After all, the students from Eden Academy have been brought to the world and nurtured since birth. In contrast, Anya simply barely clutched the entrance exam after only a week of preparing for it. It's not your intelligence that should matter, it's the adaptability of your skills to suit the task at hand that mattered the most, something in which Anya excels, especially with the use of her mind-reading ability. This episode clearly showed that in action, when nobody else is around to turn to and when time is of the essence, Anya put herself headfirst into the problem, quite literally. Leaping to save the boy's life might seem trivial, only before considering that many kids in her position would be frozen in place, not knowing how to adapt to the situation and react. The first to earn the tonitrus bolt yet also the first to earn the stella star, Anya Forger has a long way from becoming an imperial scholar, but needless to say, I'm proud of her and so is Floyd, not just from a mission standpoint, but as a 'father' for her. Alright, formalities aside... LET'S GOOO ANYA!!! TAKE THAT MASSIVE W!!! LOOK WHO'S BOSS! THE FIRST TO ATTAIN THE TREASURED STELLA STAR! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ✧ﾟ･: * |
  |
| Bond is here, leggo |
| I love the way they animated Anya slowly running up to that drowning boy and jumping for a dive. The OST playing completed that scene well. I wish they had also animated her diving INTO the water but what we have is impressive as well. Also, seems like we have the evolved form of elegance - ultra amazing elegance. A minor Kaguya-Sama reference probably. |

| Starlight Anya, had so much smug this episode. Becky with her pink jet and pink tank. Is dangerous but Im interested in getting that Chihuahua with a knife. |
 |
| Wow i knew it as long as i saw the boy walking near the pool and touching the water, i was like he gonna drowning, Anya gonna save him and got Stella. And i was right lol It's not really that hard to predict it but still good storytelling nonetheless. Omg, Starlight Anya LMAO Doggy time for first cour finale? Wait, did the dog can see the future? Wtf was that. |
 |
| Wow great episode, animation on the pool scene was incredible. We finally get to see Bond now, but it seems the last episode will be adapting the side-story chapter on the park?? |
 |
| That kid drowning was genuinely terrifying to watch damn |

| The mission to earn a Stella...is harder than anyone who've thought...especially for Anya who hates studying and flunked her test reading the wrong mind. This is crucial for Operation Strix: Phase 2 where the road to being an Imperial Scholar to get close to Loid's target Desmond is becoming more desperate by the minute. And try as Loid might, Anya isn't the athletic nor musical kind, so getting 8 Stellas within 4 months seems unrealistic. And if there's one area to easily get a Stella, it's community service for Anya to have a better social conscience...that isn't working out as intended. But as luck would've have it, Anya saved this handicapped kid (Ken) who's drowning in the pool (love the slow-mo dive), and in an adult pool no less. And would you know it, this bravery's earn is worth a Stella, so a baby step this is one in the right direction. A close meeting with HQ surrounding more of Desmond's shady doings, Loid has no time but to rush the process of Anya getting the resul they wanted. And in comes Starlight Anya with her smug face, while the class try to diss her off, Damian comes to the rescue with his tact for coolness. Usually, a Stella means a reward earned, and a dog is next based on Becky's recollection, which always leads to Anya's "save the world at peace", hah. Getting the kind of dog that Anya wants will be difficult, and one from a hidden side of a decrepit pet shop whom is like Anya being an esper...Bond is here! But his inclusion into the story, you'll have to wait for Fall for the 2nd Cour as we're getting Volume 1's Chapter 8.5 Special Extra Mission instead next week to wrap the 1st Cour up! |

| New family member incoming? Can't wait to meet this pup. |
| I thought it was so funny how Anya imagined how she would save the world. Haha mvp anya she jumps in the pool but can't swim. Anya is getting a dog now.:)) |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Finally Anya earn the Stella star! She may be worse at academic and sport, but she have a great heart to rush saving the drowning boy. I thought she got a stella star scene is just her imagination... It's a real one. Lol... Poor Anya, she earn stella, but almost everyone in her class dislike her... Wow, A dog that can see a vision.... Cool. |
 |
| Anya might not be good with studying but she more than makes up for it when someone is in need of help then she evolves into starlight Anya |
| Damm thats a pretty grim test result from Anya which explains her expression. The audio from the show really combined well with Loid's inner thoughts as he absorbed the news. Anya though is amazingly bad at quite a few things. Community service is an interesting method though especially for kids. That carer should have been much more careful with Ken having limited mobility to begin with. Though Anya did well to notice man that was a real close shave with death there. But a well deserved Stella nonetheless. Its unfortunate that her bad impression ensured that no one within the class apart from Becky believed in her deed. Anya's image of the dogs based on Loid and Yor's words were amusing. Overall an excellent ep that had some excellent tension within it via the pool save and comedy in the form of the hospital visit. From the scene of the dog looks like the forgers will be getting a pretty unique new family member next ep. But the impact of the Stella on Damien was pretty interesting. |

| I'm pretty confused with the production team's decision. They should have kept this episode as next episode to keep the flow. But they decided to keep this episode as this episode instead of next episode as this episode. Now when they start airing Part 2, a lot of people will get confused about what's going on. No complaints about the episode though, but with the way it was aired. |
| If you need a doggo there is no better than the one from Aho-Gir! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Anya is really abysmal at studying however she seems to be pretty good at other activites, meaning more ways for her to earn stars. GO ANYA!! |

| Anya's a good girl. She didn't think about a stella. She really was worried about the drowning boy. Glad she realized her power can save people. Bond makes the appearance! But the episode 12 tease leaves the impression we won't see him just yet - which is good! No need to rush. |
| and so the world was at peace. I just loved Anya's little scenarios that played out in her head, thinking that's exactly how it would go. She's not the brightest in the world, but she is still a pretty great and optimistic child. Plus, she was real brave diving in to save that child. Loid might have pulled through in the end, but that took guts. She totally deserves that star. Well done! Uh oh, she's gonna get that dog that's been teased quite a few times. Although one dog appears to have powers? It could see the Forgers in it's mind? Is that dog psychic too? The plot thickens.. Mid-season finale is on next week. Doesn't seem to have too many plot developments, although this Desmond fellow seems to be making moves... |
 |
| Amazing episode. Poor Anya though. She is like 4 or 5 and they make her study high school subjects. |
| Anya stole this episode with her reaction faces. Sorry, Starlight Anya I should say. |

| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Episode was boring but Best Boi doggo is here, I can't waitttt |
 |
| Who would have thought that Anya would succeed in helping her father to complete his mission. She got her first stella by saving a young boy. Well, she might not be the smarest but she's a hero for sure. |
