Hazuki should really be careful of her position at school....
I feel like she feels out of place compared to some of the others there.

That background story told this episode didn't sound pleasant either. However, I guess she has some magical talent with what she demonstrated this episode. (even if the aftermath was a bit embarassing)

The main didn't run away for ones she is making progress!!
It seems word of her has reached other schools tho and it might cause some trouble judging the conversation that was going on.
Hazuki should prepare herself.

Hazuki learned about some new stuff in this episode. She needs to be careful. Some famous people came over. The judge has quite the opinion on her. She managed to do Buchhulle.

Funny episode. The main character gradually progresses, she doesn't run away during a conversation with his sister. Pumpkins look cute, and yes Hazuki is again without clothes. The scene in the library was also funny.

Hazuki's meta-talk about Mahou Shoujo just made my day :D

It's been fun so far, so Ima stick it out till the end.

I am starting to question if Hazuki even really belongs to the human world because she sure is very out of place there lol. At least her sister is off her case now and they bonded a bit. She almost transformed too so it's something. I just hope it won't be too drawn out because if the whole tournament takes only 2-3 eps it won't have any impact and all this build up gets wasted.

I admit the episode's narrative took a minor yet noticeable drop in quality regarding Hazuki's development. While she has proven to have Madchen potential, she still has a long way to go to reach Shizuka and Yumilia's level. Of course, when she has the opportunity to prove herself, she ends up getting naked. Also, I would have liked to see the fight between Shizuka and Yumilia. Still, there is room for improvement.

This is the kind of show that is incredibly mediocre when it comes to everything - except the OP track, which is nice (fhána ftw!) -; I mean, tragic backstories left and right (and even those are clumsily introduced), seemingly evil judge whom I can see he's going to be the main villain a mile away, everything happens so fast there's hardly any time for me to empathize with the characters. It's like I'm reading someone's self-insert fanfiction. But maybe that's the point, after all; the main character is incredibly self-aware of her situation, reading all those books sure comes in handy. At this point I can't stop myself watching it.

So like... this anime is taking a far more serious turn than I was expecting with this whole battle and the tragic backstory and the talk about monsters and all that... I ain't feelin it at all. I hope the actual fights are somewhat impressive because so far this anime is doing very little for me.

was it just me or has no one else notice the random change in character placement? which was rather laughable at why this wasn't picked up in the first place before airing.

Placement 1: (@ 6:21-6:27)


Placement 2: (@ 6:29-6:38)

Yet another naked scene coming out of nowhere. Seems they're trying to take this anime in some direction but as someone already said, I just don't feel it. I'm just boooored. I was hoping to see some fight in the library but I honestly don't think they'd manage to make it look good anyway. Still, wondering if this will get any better when the real battle starts though.

On the good side, they finally made a somehow-proper opening. I was just feeling really sorry for the studio after watching the op in the first two eps.

She talking about Shizuka to her new sister was really fun haha
And now we know that Shizuka is in the top 3 of the stronger girls, curious to see the book of the other girls.

The fanservice is real. I wonder what the 7th school was, though?

okay i get it, Hazuki is pressured because she's is not capable enough to participate in the Hexenn-whatever its called as a representative of Japan...
but of course heroine MC will do her very best to be able to go to Hexenn-whatever its called...
4/5.

Given that their conversation was so gay, I would not be surprised if she just hesitated. For some reason, it seemed to me that her sister was even a little upset that MC's fictional "partner" is a guy.

Oh, while this show is on the thin side of qeerbaiting fanservice, but with every episode it becomes more and more obvious and unambiguous. Starting with a sudden parody of Maria-sama and ending with the fact that she was clearly describing her "boyfriend" seeing her classmate.

Of course, it can still be an attempt to parody the generic yuri bait in the genre, but some moments seem too sincere.

They eat burgers almost as much as I do.

"Was that a charming scene, or should we be emotionally disturbed?"

This does everything the 'anime way'. Every single element/character/scene is the most stereotypically anime thing you can get.

3 episode test conclusion: this is not a great show. The exposition is through the roof, I was actually skipping through parts because I've literally heard the story a hundred times before. The art is sub-par and character designs are uninspired.

However: Step sister moment + confession about liking Shizuka-chan = I'm obliged to fall for the bait and keep watching *straps in*

yeah gonna drop it here as well.. not really sure what to think of this..

On one hand, this could potentially be really fun, you know, magical world and magical fight, but on other hand, it's trying to be serious at the same time very silly. Her conversation with her sister was a little too easy. Her personality changed as well, not as in developed, but just suddenly different. Watch how she acts in the real world and in the magic world, no consistency at all in her character. Plus she's mad annoying.

I am pretty sure this anime is more about moe and magic and ecchi and yuri fanservice than you know, a real attempt at telling a story.
