Damn that cliffhanger...I think Kiseki has raised her own death flag with those words alone. =/

I was surprised to see Yoshimizu looking absolutely fine. I though she was killed off in the previous arc.

Mari and Usagi looked great in their christmas outfits. Poor Mari must be cursing her flat chest once again! =D

Probably the best episode of the series so far it's a shame the series has lacked this kind of focus & pacing. Looking forward to next weeks episode especially after that ending.

One of the biggest problems with this Silver Link adaptation is that they don't include the epilogues...like there has been no foreshadowing Takeru and Kiseki's problems or foreshadowing in general, hell this is the first mention of Kiseki so it's hard to get into her character.

The best way to watch the show is too just expect nothing-when you do that this episode wasn't that bad. Though I gotta say I lol'd pretty hard when Kiseki had clothes on. I mean we have a full fanservice episode and fanservice has been the main priority of this show it seems, but a nude Kiseki to help show the damage and shock done to her and Takeru? Nah no way, can't be done.


I know which is why the explanation of Takeru's past will might get cut completely or it won't have any impact to it. There was lots of foreshadowing in the novel about Takeru as to why he was always quick to anger. Feeling like his head was going to burst, getting called a demon etc. Which all has to do with his bloodline but all of that has been left out for stupid fan service because as far as Silver Link is concerned that's more important than having developed characters.

A nude Kiseki to help show the damage done wouldn't have worked anyway. The demon power completely regenerates her body. Iirc she got her head cut off by the academy yet there's no scar on her neck.

Still a bit rushed with details left out. IMO the beginning of the series is a bit weak but gets better after all/most of the main girls (backstories) are introduced. The anime at 12 (13?) episodes won't get far into the next arc(s) though.

Kiseki in the novels gets really scary and kinda disturbing at times. I think she's one of the most OP yandere characters I've seen and also the one that's the most far gone (and gets worse, thanks to a certain someone(s)). I'm not sure how much the anime will show though.

Looked like there was an "Akira" reference with the bike slide. During the bike chase scene, when Ootori caught the criminals.

This episode was interesting. Sister with uncontrollable demonic slime corroding powers is really as disturbing as it can be described and as it can be seen. The way the animation did it, left quite the impression of how fucked up her situation is.

Finally we have some development on the MAIN guy for a change. I like how they checked each character of the unit and now we're with the final one. Obviously he is not gonna kill her, and Takeru is likely gonna end in conflict with the Inquisition and the scarred guy who called him a "traitor" for reasons that I don't get (unless he refers to the fact he has a sister with issues? If calling him traitor for that, then that's as much as a racist as you can get).

Poor Mari though. She struggles with her proportions even though she is cute enough D: (PS I still rewatch and lol at her drunk moment, seriously Kanae Ito made me laugh big time there with that portrayal).

Kiseki wants Kusanagi to end her rightly (instead of getting killed over and over by the inquisition). So the reason she appeared so anxious when asking him about the girls, was not because she's jealous, but because she was looking for a "succesor": one to look after her brother and for a her brother to care for when he'll have lost her. That's quite cute, and sad.

I was not quite sure though, the "one with the beautifull hair, and the one with the scarf", does that refer to Suginami and Usagi respectively?

Best episode yet, good plot development, good pacing and some emotional moments along with the introduction of Kiseki.
I hope they don't bullshit the "Kill me" wish, and be like "No you're my sister! I will protect you!" battle begins to save sister and random powerup or nakama power and she joins the group...
Hoping it goes down the dark route.

That makes the most sense, but it doesn't really fit the conversation in which he tells her his platoon has gotten more members after not seeing her for a while.

Maybe the actual conversation was longer that what we saw, and it's just the shows relentless pace at work again, that confuses me.

Kiseki is the only imouto that I understand why she is obseded by his brother. Average episode except the last sentence which was unpredictable.

Well.....Kiseki is such a good girl. I really want a back story. I mean how and why Takeru clams down when he hears her voice or something close to it.
Kiseki is a cute girl but what's happening to her..........I may, no I need to read the light novel. Especially if the series doesn't get a season season
Also i really hope the LN doesn't get license. A selfish wish but still, Yen Press has already taken hostage so many good series and they struck again with Gakusen Toshi Asterisk.

We all know the sad ending is what gonna happen though. I mean they made that pretty obvious with how easily they just kill people off.

I forgot he had an imouto and actually hoped she wouldn't appear. Why? Look at what he becomes.

I must say...Kiseki...has a body.

Kiseki into incest?

Kiseki: Onii-chan...why didn't you..."have your way with" me?

That dude just used a speed spell.

LMAO at the dude into flat chests.

Dat two piece.

Kiseki: Could you kill me?

Me: Oh!!!!

My god, I hated the Takeru and Ouka scenes in this episode. Felt forced unlike with Ikaruga and Usagi.

I thought, that Takeru's sister is in some kind of predicament, but I didn't expect that. The headmaster wasn't fazed at the sight, despite claiming otherwise.

The squad is the best, how fortunate that Suginami was herself and packed a bunch of costumes.

I have gotta give credit for the writter, I have never seen a sister being used like this, it is kinda fucked up...

This arc is bound to get pretty depressive I feel, and I dont think her story is going end well for her in the end.
The sister being like this does bring interesting development for the MC...

This episode could have gone two routes:
1. Takeru keeping Kiseki's identity and condition a secret, and having it blow up in his face along with possibly losing the trust of his team
2. Takeru telling the truth, risking the safety of his sister and potentially doom the world by placing his trust in his team

He chose the second option, and luckily his team was understanding enough to help out. I can't say what the correct option was, but at the very least, being truthful eased a lot of tension for Kiseki. I dislike scenes where a main character is exposed for a lie they created, as it makes for a lot of painful drama regarding breaking and rebuilding trust.

Kiseki deserves better. Always sad to see girls becoming the victims of their own out of control powers. Also, I thought she was going to ask for a kiss there at the end, but it was something much more ominous instead, lol.

Can't forget the flat chest appreciation either ^^
