I enjoyed this episode, though most of it was due to the unleashing of the eyepatch along with the music in the baclground. And that little bit with Adelicia and Itsuki near the end was cute.

Yep, that's basically what made this episode enjoyable. And the few seconds of Mikan of course.

The episode was good, but the story seems to be moving slow.

Good ep. We got to know more about his 'glam sight' and the part in the end with Adilisia and Itsuki was so adorable ^^

This show is definitely getting better and better. It is really underrated. I mean, it got a worse score than Night Wizard even though this is way better than Night Wizard which is full of cliches (sorry if anyone here actually like it). I have seen some summaries on the light novel and I know the story will get extremely interesting.
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.

Holy Crap!! Episodes 1-5 were kind of weird and made me not know what to think of this show.....then this episode hit, and damn was it amazing. This episode explained most everything that has been going on, had great action, and had some great development with the characters. The quality of this episode alone has guaranteed that this show won't be dropped (unless it gets really bad).

Really enjoyed this ep, and how it tied up some questions I had, and most of the previous episodes chronological-wise. Glam sight makes the owner go insane, eh? I guess that's why they never want him to take off the patch. Ultimate power, sadly, must always come with a price xD

Looking forward to seeing where the show goes from here.

Best part was when Itsuki stepped on the heart and realized he used his broken leg :P

I think the thing that bothers me the most is how they don't make us relate to the characters. Instead of throwing character background at us out of nowhere like this, there should be a little development, and I don't mean the crazy and useless episode that was episode 1. I mean a, "Hey, we're Astral. We're made of Itsuki, Honami, blah blah, and we take care of certain cases. Oh, and there' s a chick from Goetia, she's really annoying." A few episodes later, we get some background to build more to the characters we ALREADY knew. And not start some deep flashbacks to characters we didn't know in the first place.

Other than that, this was a good episode to find out what the heck the eye Itsuki has is. The greatest character development so far is Itsuki's. And he's a darling.

Agreed with AngelLily. Pretty good episode and all, but I can't find the emotion and significance of the characters. So far, Rental Magica didn't go over Nekoyashiki and Mikan enough, but I'll watch the next two episodes right after this.

I don't like the episode order scrambled up, but at least the relationship between Astral and Goetia is now out of the mists. The OP-ED songs sounds better and better each time I listen.

As I'm watching this in Chronological order and knowing that this is the first broadcasted episode I must say that the start of the original series would've rather sucked to be honest, the horrible pacing combined with a rather meh story would most likely turn the viewer into instant dropping it.

Either way a decent episode.

well it's because Itsuki's seiyuu is the same seiyuu who voiced Lelouch.

Well, despite of disjointed start and somewhat cartoonish magic (Adelicia's demons look rather weird, for one), I was interested in this show, because I felt potential. You can tell it's an adaptation of a novel and author did his research, so despite of not so great visuals and lack of a major story (we have some questions about Ibara-kun's past) there is a lot going on, and there is my favourite - characters' interplay. The crew consists of a diverse cast of majic users from different approaches to majic, but are fun to watch off-duty too. And yet, there is a certain tension in each ep, which doesn't reduce it to slice of life show, development happens as there is at least one person learning something - the director of Astral, which was made to be a kind of normal person a viewer can relate too, sans the eye)

This episode is more interesting than the last. Actually, I thought the father will survive.

The ED is a lasting piece of music, good song.
