I didn't imagine that the voice actor of Rana Linchen can do such great voices ^^ Seimon Hakkyokuken Kuuga (正門八極拳秘儀 空牙) and Seimon Hakkyokuken Dagekijyutsu Enga (正門八極拳近距離打撃術 炎牙) were awesome. |

| infighting is far from over. this show should be called infighting stratos btw, what are third grader boys at this school doing without partner? are they fighting together them sisters who became a university student? |
 |
| Why are they still fighting among each other? It would be more interesting to see them fight Nova... |
 |
| aww..Rana is so cute <3, if I were Aoi, I might as well go with her than satellizer! |

stAtic91 said: Why are they still fighting among each other? It would be more interesting to see them fight Nova... The anime is going exactly as in the manga. This is VERY early on in the manga, basically it's just explaining the environment they're in at school. There will be many arcs in the future about real Nova battle...and they're blood... On another note, I'm quite happy with the adaptation thus far (except the lack of background for Ingrid's story). At this rate, a season 2 will be needed for sure (assuming they can cover up to the mid 20s chapter to wrap up this season). |

| It'll take a while to see them fighting Nova, but it will be awesome if they'll do it right. I don't like this part of anime, nor i did with manga, the fights amongs students always seemed pointless/stupid to me, and next fights is one of dumbest ones. Not really looking forward to next episode. Also, can't wait to see Elizabeth. : D |

| There still will be a lot more fighting scenes between students until the last couple eps, with tons of more ecchi =3 |

| Well that was an interesting episode. o: I liked how there seemed to be less naked shots. xD The preview looks intense though. I'm guessing that that's what has me so drawn to this series. Those confusing previews. |
 |
| Well, this was probably the most decent episode of the series. Nothing great mind you but after lowering my score each episode for the past three, I actually increased it this time. It's still bad overall but this episode wasn't the incoherent messes that the past few were. I'm disappointed in Rana. In her previous actions, she seemed above all the pettiness that this school has to offer. But it didn't take much for Attia to provoke her. As for Bridget, at least she's starting to act like a human being instead of an ice box. |
| omg rana's voice reminds me of Touko from the book eating movie, i love this actress' voice! |

This is VERY early on in the manga, basically it's just explaining the environment they're in at school. There will be many arcs in the future about real Nova battle...and they're blood... Not really, they were still fighting themselves when the Nova appeared. So far in the manga, the Nova haven't shown much fighting except that they are uber strong and appear with increasing frequency.... And now in current Alaska arc... MORE internal fighting (albeit for research purpose now). Novas are boring anyway, who wants to fight them :/ |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I liked the episode and I didn't mind the changes compared to the manga. But of course, Satellizer>Rana. stAtic91 said: Why are they still fighting among each other? It would be more interesting to see them fight Nova... Like kaminakun said, the first volumes, (Volumes 1 - 4) are about fights between the Pandora. And basically, everyone against Satellizer. In volumes 5 - 6 is where the real arc begins, but it does not last that much. A season 2 is needed, indeed. I mean... Ikkitousen that is purely fanservice had 4 seasons, so why not Freezing too? |
| Rana is different from what i expected she is very strait forward and knows what she wants something you don't expect from someone who lived her whole life in a temple. Bridgette asking Aoi to call her be her first name without honorifics suggests she really likes him. Athea was up to her old tricks again this time trying to use Rana to her advantage. And now coming out with her friends to fight both Rana and Bridgette the question is why are they going after them both? Are they that afraid about there strength, are they so concerned with there position on the school's ranking list? Should they not be happy that they have some strong people they can rely on during a Nova attack? I mean they have a common enemy and they should be ally's yet there fighting more amongst them selves then that there fighting the enemy. And we know now Athea is from Romania, it makes me happy to see that it's a original location. I have to say tho that Athea doesn't do the name of Romania justice tho, judged on the name Romania has in the media and popular culture. |
| The fight was way better than i thought, that kid sure is a lucky guy, still stella and satellizer were both held back so it no wonder they are ahead of a lot of girls |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

This must be one of the shittiest adaptations i ever saw. Cheap art and bad direction not to mention taking out the passion and impact of every scene. It certainly doesn't take much to please you.

Not really looking forward to next episode. Also, can't wait to see Elizabeth. : D I doubt if even the nova fights will be awesome in anime form. This fight was quite good in the manga but in the anime it was made in fast forward like they were in a hurry to finish it before the episode ends and not showing very well how they used their techniques. Actually both fights were fastened while the scene with Rana shaking her ass and sticking to Kazua trying to make him call only by her small name was a nice long extended scene. Obviously the makers of this anime have their priorities wrong. As for the school battles (although the mangaka avoided that one in the time sequence of the events of last episode). I guess they are used at first as a way for Bridget to rise her fighting level before she encounters Nova. Anyway not bad in general, God knows they made worst episodes than this but disappointing in how much better it could be if they cared even a little. Maybe they don't want to make a good anime for a manga coming from a Korean guy. Btw couldn't stop laughing when Kazuya first teleported his hearing in listening to the girls talking outside while he was on the corridor of the dorm and then immediately teleported his whole body so he can ask them. Who said he can use only freezing? Obviously the guy has more awesome abilities. Bridget getting-up and looking fresh and fine after taking that big hit was also a nice funny moment, but who cares just animate the shit quickly so we can go home. Oh! yeah and the metal hand-protectors that destroy clothes like a blade was another inspirational diamond from the awesome director of this show. I can but only suggest to everyone to read the manga. At this point the manga started getting good but the anime is still shit. And no am not telling it under the usual comment of "the manga is better" that we have from every manga reader in an anime adaptation conversation. I'm telling it because the thing is massively worse, we are talking about huge huge huge difference. |
| They definitely require a season 2. Compared to the manga there is far less covered in regards to the background behind the characters especially Bridgette. Hoping season 2 will get more into that. Rana is hot though :p |
| a lot of bullies :/ They should die. I wonder how their parents raised them. I won't be surprised if West Genetics will lose during Nova since they kill each other. I just realized that Kana is Rana's seiyuu xDD |
| im loving this anime. I know its pretty echi but this is some great fan service =) sempai so hawt =). ran reminds me of brawler from DFO. |
| Currently Watching: Durarara!! |
| Wow gloves and boots thats so badass! That was a pretty good fight with burning fang and double accels |
| Rana has a gloves/boots setup that she uses pretty well. Her fight with Ganessa(?) shows she knows how to fight well. Athea seems pretty frightened by those two towards the end of the fight and with good reason. The next episode seems like the ones before it, fights between pandoras. If the manga is like this (which from the thread it seems it is) then I don't mind that that's what we've seen so far. |
  |
| aside from the fight at the end.... this was so awesomely bad... The preview for next episode looks better... |
  |
| If the battle continued, Mamiko Noto would have won. Why do situations escalate to absurd fights when females are the dominant sex? Or is it all for entertainment as we like watching them fight strip each others clothes off? |

Fasces349 said: was anyone else cheering for Bridget over Rana during the fight? I was hoping for Satellizer to beat the shit out of Rana. I thought Rana was going to be a refreshing addition, but she annoyed the hell out of me in this episode. The only thing I like about Rana now is that she is a melee fighter. Satellizer is the only girl in this show that has managed to not work my nerves! Everyone else is either extremely annoying, talk way too much shit, or just too damned evil. |
 |
| Damn, Kazuya is strong....If Rana was all in my face rubbing my dick and titties on my chest...Bridgette might have lost me as her partner right then and there :p Like seriously, I would have fucked her in public in that cafeteria. But with his powers, couldn't he just unofficially have 2 partners? Has the manga at least hinted to him possibly doing this in the future? |

| Finally after the complete computer crash, I was finally able to see this. Excellent adaptation, Rana defineely shined far better than in the manga like I expected and her fan service did not disappoint although to really like it in the spoiler pause the damn video, oh well, not the first time it happens. What I really think they got perfect was Rana’s tease unto Kazuya,  it was perfect! I liked it more than in the manga. I will elaborate and apart from that they showed Simmons cough bitch cough really well why she is one. They did a good background of Bridgette’s pulping a partner boy and Rana’s powers. About Rana, my first impression of her in the uniform was that she looks better I find. She teased Bridgette so bad by going to sit next to her with a wink. Indeed she is the only girl who wears these kinds of panties, which I recall being fudonshi, typical what some martial artists wear, yeah even guys apparently last I remember in some animes. Rana’s fight with Ganessa was plenty of fan service of Genessa and Rana although that was annoying due to pausing, went by too fast still. Rana’s martial arts proved not only in avoiding Genessa’s chains by some sheer luck but also speed with a splendid kick, which did surprise Ganessa in overall. Rana’s tease of Kazuya was quite bold by her putting a leg close to his thing and the famous breast press. They do look cute together when blushing. until it was a O_O at Bridgette catching them like that. That certainly did not stop Rana from pushing it on. That’s bold of her. Rana’s gullible kindness was too easy for Simmons to take advantage of and turn her into quite a serious angry look. I find it they did that really well. Comes more guts of Rana by of all things waiting for Bridgette to finish her shower only to find her after it alone on the chair. Her fight with Bridgette’s was very well done. Extremely pleased with that fight. From Rana giving a fast one on Bridgette and getting back a nasty one from Bridgette. Best was her powers and wings spreading it was very beautifully done., way better than in the manga. You could pretty much marvel at a monk’s powers with Rana as she can put herself in a position to know where you might strike and counter you, a classic last I remember fro RPGs when you take the monk class and those glowing fists, typical but cool. That’s apart from a kind of Ryu hadouken that blew Bridgette. At the end Rana’s special super can KO anyone, except of course Bridgette and that I understand but as to why would be a spoiler. Well done on Rana and fan service wise of her. Rest in spoiler About Athea Simmons, I really got to explain now why the fuck this shit ass girl is completely a bitch now. Let’s see, manipulating Rana around and with that face it was way to obvious to see she is scheming. I just feel guilty of TBH about liking certain of her specs in the spoiler About preview, oh great more Simmons’s faces but wait she get angry at one point. Well I will only say this as a manga reader, better be amazing fight next episode. I want lots of action and blood with probably the clothing tearing fan service but of Creo it’s going to be extra fun. Colored girls are always nice to see fan service of. This week's art is pretty cute of Bridgette teases Rana with Kazuhya being well you know in the spoiler |

HawthorneKitty said: Or is it all for entertainment as we like watching them fight strip each others clothes off? That's all that matters. Who cares if there is point to their fighting as long as clothes are coming off? I liked how Kazuya didn't sit back like some puss and told Rana straight up that he picked Sattellizer. |
HawthorneKitty said: Yeah it's kind of like that with the extra ecchi I would have to say as IMO. If the battle continued, Mamiko Noto would have won.

| The battles are lacking in blood and agony compared to the manga. I seriously am disappointed by this manga adaptation. People please read the manga. We get awesome scenes of Bridget-sempai stabbing the shit out of Miyabi sempai (execution style.) The manga is much more grueling and the faces much more antagonistic. Hoping for a better season two. Where do you think this anime will end? Right before Cassie Lockhart and the shit that happens then? |
 |
| Burger queen cracked me up |
 |
| solid ep and now the real fun starts ;) |
 |
| I loved the Fight.... Rena has pretty awesome techniques and also she's CUTE..... |
 |
billng said: Agreed, but a single blade at the end of each fist would have been even more awesome and devastating (^.^)Wow gloves and boots thats so badass! That was a pretty good fight with burning fang and double accels Any way if I where Aoi I'd definitely choose Rana over Bridgette, she got a way better personality, is much cuter and very willing plus ready for more "intimate" action as well ;) But since there seems to me no limit to the amount of 'limiters' the girls can have, perhaps he can have two Pandoras xD |
| So is this ever going to pick up? Watching a bunch of students fight each other all the time will be getting old. Kind of is, already. How could Kazuya resist Rana when they were going to have lunch?! |
| Lol Rana was totally going to rape Kazuya in the caf. Now way is it that all the third years are big douches? |
stAtic91 said: Why are they still fighting among each other? It would be more interesting to see them fight Nova... Because they got irritating 3rd years... |
Fasces349 said: was anyone else cheering for Bridget over Rana during the fight? Me too. Rena bothers me. I at least wanted her to get knocked around or something :/ |
| Right now i prefer Rana over Bridget... glad she won, to bad i can't change the pairings but i will take a couple for once instead of.. Well doesn't really matter. Rana's introduction has increased my interest in this show. |
| Rana the homewrecker. Hopefully they don't screw up the next fight. It was pretty lengthy and was pretty awesomesauce. |
 |
| The fight between Rana and Satella was awesome. I was cheering Satella on the whole time. I can't wait for the next episode when everyone starts fighting. |
 |
| Only thing I really enjoyed was Rana fighting style(martial arts instead of weapons) Satelizer is too cute, it's getting annoying, I want the psycho untouchable Queen. |
| de arimasu! *~* |
 |
Fasces349 said: ROFL, being a Rana fan I won't deny I am also a Bridget fan but the thing is Rana does have her appeals among them her face mainly. She does have a annoying personality but unlike Bridget has not internal complex so it's a plus for her. Furthermore, I am also going to add that her clingy attitude is fun to watch. It was especially like that when she was teasing Kazuya as I mentioned earlier on. So despite being annoying, she is fun and comedic as well unique in her fighting style. I will leave it at that. To all you Rana fans: You suck, Bridget is the hottest character in the show this far, and is therefore the best character. Fasces349 said: Sure we did here and even that was not shown in the manga.Such is how it works with Ecchi animes. However we haven't gotten a good look at Elizabeth (3rd year 2nd rank), who should be hotter. |
| I'm starting to like this anime a bit now... However, I hope the infighting doesn't last any longer. If so, I think hopefully we can have a Season 2.....I hear there is plenty of manga material. |
| At least the show improved a bit. More fight and lesser fanservice. Liked Rana being a straightforward girl. :D And again, another set of bullies :/ |
