THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hmm, an episode concentrated on Koito...not really surprising imo. Figured that she might get her own episode one of these days.

In the meantime, lol...I think she has a rivalry with Mai for Phantoms...
Kurumi somehow also became relevant. Meh, the episode felt dull except for some of the action parts. The phantoms are also getting more and more tougher by the looks of it. Ah, also Kurumi's bear can fight after all. I suspected there would be something strange about that little guy.

A Koito focused episode... finally! Lol at Kurumi's phantom teddy bear! Mai and Koito had some issues with each other :D. So Koito is anti-social because people were scared of her abilities... well that's typical -_-. Koito blushed so... +1

So I might be in the minority here but that constant "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." of Minase while she's using her power makes the whole thing awkward. And annoying.

I realize it's supposed to be a song but... come on it's not even a singing voice. just... "aaaa...".
They could have put at the very least a minimal effort there.

That Digimon Phantom sure was tough

....and now there is a loli who can use power similar to Seryu's from AgK.

Overall an average episode...nothing interesting

So an episode dedicated to Minase this time.
And it seems her powers made her an outcast in the past.
Well hopefully she will be a bit more social this time.

They are still repeating the failed summoning gag, huh. It wasn't funny the first time, it won't be even if you shove it into every episode. Looks like I was wrong about the MC, he's not a beta male. It would be a compliment. He's probably not even omega, he would get kicked out of herd to prevent his lameness from rubbing off on others. I'm starting to doubt if the MC is even a male to begin with.

Well, writing is still bad, characters are still bland and to make things worse there was no fanservice. Come on, where is blonde's selfgroping? Speaking of bad aspects of this show, what the constantly angry chick is doing is supposed to be singing?

Really boring episode, Koito is a pseudo-tsundere badly done and the loli - even if she was cute - was an unnecessary adition - yeah original character -.

The good thing is how this adaptation is doing a terrible job on every ranking in japan, even when kyoani already throw the bait.

Another Minase-related Episode, another long chant. But she doesn't really have to do that, isn't she?
And FINALLY ... That Loli Identity's revealed. Just how cute is she? >_<


That guy do have a point, though.

@Cr7_vi_Britannia I stopped watching adaptations of LN I've read to spare myself the sight of source material being butchered. Looks like authors either don't matter in the production at all or just hate their works and want them turned into crap.

The characters are getting less likable every episode. I really don't understand how they can praise her ability to "sing" so much, that senpai even said it was super super super strong. Yet, she loses against the same kind of phantom she was able to defeat as a child.

That's one OP teddy bear. Also, am I the only one who finds Koito's power really annoying because of the fact that she just says "Aaah" for ages and that it's supposed to be really strong but really seems to be pretty useless?

is totally ridiculous and absurd how KyoAni adapts its male characters especially the male MC, they are totally different from their version of the source material.
In addition to reducing your screen time, exposure, they also tranformam them in betas, irrelevant characters, also ridicule them, create original characters to further reduce its importance and exposure in the show, with the ridiculous and regrettable intention of making their generic waifus moe with soft hairs if stand out more which does not occur in the source material.
Haruhiko is another example of how KyoAni chooses adapts its male characters especially the male MC in a totally different way than it is in the source material. KyoAni simply destroys the character, ridicules the character and does everything so that they become irrelevant and lose their importance and exposure in show.

The MC is not to blame of the shits that were made to your character by the KyoAni.


Okay I have a question since you seem to have read the original novel. How well is the source material rated in japan? Because I was only able to find the light novel on amazon and it seemed to be quite badly rated on that. If it is indeed regarded as shit either does it matter that they changed stuff when adapting a bad light novel into a bad anime?

I want to imagine what would happen if Reina healed Koito the first time she lost her voice. All we need is Kurumi to master pyrokinesis and we have Annie from League of Legends. Lack of fanservice blah blah blah. And Koito at the end of the episode.

Koito was the highlight of the episode, the reason for its lonely and cold personality was explained, behind all the girls there are some small problems, especially on the past of them, but gradually the protagonist will help them to overcome, Kurumi had greater prominence in this episode also, their reactions were so cute, I'm really looking forward to seeing an episode focused on her and see how will the development of this plot ..

I still can't get into Koito's attack speech, too long imo but I do like the way her attack looks, so vibrant in color. As dynamic as the Pokemon move Boomburst.

Finally more Kurumi and the bear becomes bigger in size.
If all of them became a team they would be pretty tough to beat.


- Mai: Physical attacker
- Koito: Special Attacker
- Kurumi's Bear: Decoy/Tank
- Reina: Healer/Sealer
- Haruhiko: Decoy?

And Mai getting jealous that Haruhiko is paying more attention to Koito, aww. She'll get her time to shine.

They could have put at the very least a minimal effort there.
Don't worry, you're not in the minority. I was also thinking the same thing.


I really like the way the "aaaaaaaaaaa" is done, it's unpretentious and reminds me of those videos of people shattering glass with a singing note.

Great to see Koito take centre stage in the episode though I'd have liked some resolution at the end, something along the lines of her accepting the invitation to join the others as a group or something,

One thing I think the show could be doing with as a whole is some kind of arch nemesis that is trying to take over/ destroy the world or something, and it needs to build up to a certain date or astrological alignment, meanwhile the crew deal with the minor phantoms on a weekly basis whilst building up to the grande finale with this arch phantom in the last few episodes.

As it is now I feel it lacks a definitive plot or goal.

I don't suppose we'd know yet whether this is a 13 or 26 episode show? The pacing feels like a 26 episoder to me, I hope it is.

Seriously. Even if she's got all the personality of a shoe, a magical singing voice should still actually sound like a musical note.

Idk why I'm torturing myself by continuing to watch this especially when I'm pretty certain that this show ain't gonna end up being worth the watch in the slightest. I can probably get a general idea how the show is gonna end for that matter.

I didn't expect much from this show in the first place but the amount of generic tropes that annoy me is really strong which is the main issue. And then there's the serious stuff which isn't good either. Well, the next episode will be the turning point for me assuming I stop being an M by continuously watching this show lol.

@Harag you're definitely not alone, it annoys me too.

So now we got an episode focused on Minase, and I'm not surprised in the slightest that in the end, she warmed up to Haruhiko and might have a crush on him. But that was probably just a blush of embarrassment. It seems like each episode literally just focuses on one member of Haruhiko's harem, then the following episode is the same thing. This is getting pretty boring, and I wouldn't be surprised if the next episode focused on our precious loli.

Actually that awkward "aaaaaaaaaaaaa...." she was using is not a song, it's a vocal/singing warmup.
Maybe for some logical reasons she use it because it has a constant note. So her power's sound-waves aren't flutuative and will get a greater magnitude.

Anyway I'm agree with you that her "over-realistic" power made the whole thing awkward.
