| Well that got nice and juicy right at the end :) Listen...it's the same shit as for every show of this flavor, it's either going to be decent or it's going to just tickle you and never ever get "good". I'm hoping for the former. I'm hoping for 7/10 when it's through. So far it's accomplishing at least that. |
| Things are about to get good. I wish I didn't read the LN/manga...haaah I spoiled myself. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The ending was pretty exciting but overall I think this anime is kinda inconsistent in quality..sometimes the fighting looks really good and other times really sloppy. Sometimes it looks really smooth, like the jumping and flips but especially that part where she was swinging against his axe was quite horrible. The only redeeming factor is the large potential backstory from the different character's backgrounds and powers and their respective organization and maybe what looks to be a relationship developing. The comedy and slice of life aspects don't really seem to be working that well in between the action sequences. I feel like the only thing going for it is it seems there's a lot of agendas going on behind the scenes and sometimes the action as well as the power of the fourth progenitor. |

Yamishiro said: Don't leave the Neko toy... LOL Intense ep. Starting to love himeragi, glad I pick this up, and good story 5/5 |
| Good episode. Im impressed. I like that there only a few character to focus on. It's staying interesting. |

| Yukina moved in next door to Kojou.Thought it was funny how she thought everything was a weapon when they went shopping. Natsuki Minamiya<3. Yukina has a welcoming party.Later on Kojou leave for a walk and Yukina follows him wet and straight out the shower(so hot!!!). Yukina fights against that one guy and starts off fine,but ends up losing the upper hand. Kojou appears looking badass(dem eyes).And dat scream at the end amazing.Seems we'll get to see The Fourth Primogenitor in action next episode. |

| This anime has exceeded my expectations (they weren't very high though), I hope the quality of the animation won't degrade too much from this in the episodes to come. |

| I just like the arts more than manga, anime is different though. Yukina indeed gets very friendly with Akatsuki, just way to fast but it's not all that bad though. She is not an idiot. Well, obviously he don't have control the power. He hasn't suck blood from Yukina yet. What does disappointed me that it's end just like that. I actually felt something were missing on the fighting scenes, but it wasn't all that horrible. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| " If I die .. will senpai .. be sad ? " Well , indeed it's a little cliched , but this executed well. This episode is indeed far more better than the first one. When Yukina was going to the fighting scene with a train , the railroads were damaged and she just jumped from it and let the people (perhaps) in the train die ? The fuck lol. The looks in Akatsuki's eyes are deadly. Watch out , we got a badass here. |
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| Aww yeah, badass combat time incoming! :D Hell, that was an awesome yellow thunder power in the end - epic! |
| Does anyone know how many episodes will it have? |
 |
| Okay, first thing is first, I wish I could have seen more of Himeragi when she just gout out of the shower. Secondly... DAMN that ending was good, I can't wait to see the transformation next week. |
| This series needs MOOAARR fan services!! Maybe not too much but one pantsu shot from Yukina each episode should suffice XD |
 |
| This has stepped up with the awesome action scenes Middle schoolgirls embrace yourself for an army of Perverts |
| Just kind of bland and dull, to be honest. It's doing nothing for me. And in an anime season as dense as this one is, I can't hold on to it. If there weren't as many shows this season, I'd give it at least another episode or two. |
| damn looks like Kojou is going to pull some awesome move next episode, looking forward to it |
| Wow damn epic episode!! akatsuki looks badass, and yukina was cool also. |
| Tch. |
| I thought I would watch this anime only for Himeragi. Changed my take on the anime. Looks like it may as well become a pretty good anime after all! Preview shows things will calm down a bit in the next episode. But who cares, as long as there are more Himeragi moments... wait, did I just make it obvious I am still watching the anime for Himeragi? Haha! Not a bad thing at all, just that I am accepting there are more to than just her in the anime. :) |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| OMG dat Touma like scene. EPIC!!! |
| Nice episode, i'm kinda lost about the lion king organization and the primogenitor thingie. AWWYEAA a Wet babe. Natsuki-chan looks cute. Kojou's eyes looking badass. Looking forward for the next one. |
| Damn cliffhanger! Grrrrrrrrrr |
 |
| The wet no bra scene was hawt <33 |
 |
| A lot better than the first episode actually. I wish there would be more depth to the characters, but it's improving so far. ainky said: Does anyone know how many episodes will it have? Still unknown right now. |
| Excellent episode, it kinda redeemed the show after the dull first episode... The action was just ok, but everything else was interesting enough. And it seems like the mc has some kind of electric power and those are always cool as hell, so that's a plus. Anyway, I swear I read somewhere this was supposed to be 24 episodes or am I mistaken? |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I was a bit skeptical about this series, but that fight was hella intense. Looking forward to the next episode. Yukina is awesome, can hold her own in a fight. |
 |
| I'm glad this episode was better than the first. Some nice action and a cliffhanger. hmmm.. loli-sensei ... you don't look 26 ... hmmm |
  |
| Oh this was much better than last episode, just became one of the anime I'm looking forward to each week. |
| Yukine is as cute as always. I like her green stripped panties. XD Koujo and Yuki are getting along well and Nagisa is adorable. Things are heating up at the end. I'm interested about the goth loli sensei. Episode wasn't bad. |
| yes finally shit just getting real in this episode.. damn kojou became rage in the end? damn.. THAT POWER OF VAMPIRE! XD btw.. I wonder if there will be some romance :3 really want some romance :p and that teacher.. natsuki lol moe moe :3 |
| I'm only watching cuz Ayaya VA, Ririchyo VA, and Yuki Yoshida VA |
 |
| Nice, things are getting interesting. I like there's no ecchi overload, kept to the minimum. Goth loli! I like the animation and art even though its nothing spectacular. The OST was pretty good as well. Nice ED. |
layfonkun said: This is Index all over again. Can't say I hate that though. If Index is anything like this I might pick it up again, but having watched 8 episodes of it and then dropped it, I can't really see any similarities apart from maybe the settings... |

| Things are picking up now. |
| this is getting good, can't wait to see his true form and shit go down.. I wonder how everything will go down when the word goes out that the 4th progenitor does indeed exist. |
 |
| Average show so far ... there are more promising ones currently imo |
| Huge improvement over episode 1 :) Yukina is so cute also Ending was really badass! :) |
| The ost was pretty good this episode. It gave me a Fate Zero vibe... Hopefuly it remains this way. |
