That Iona girl is quite something...not holding back at explaining herself at all. All jokes aside, it did feel somewhat of a refreshing breath of air and I find her character more tolerable than some of the others in the show.

Oh and she can fight too. She better got more screen time for rest of the season.

Another two characters added to the story this time around huh? 

A mysterious smooth unit that aims at the life of former hero Blade. One of the "Guardians" who guard the underground Royal Library of Literature, Iona was ordered to kill Blade by Mother Computer. Since he has the characteristic of being able to revive infinitely as a Guardian, he cooperates with Eliza and the others to separate Iona from Mother in order to defeat the uncompromising Blade. However, this strategy had an unexpected effect. 

Iona is truly remarkable, unreservedly expressing herself without hesitation. Setting humor aside, her candidness is rather invigorating, and I find her personality more agreeable compared to certain other characters on the show. Moreover, she's skilled in combat as well. 

Hopefully, she receives more screen time throughout the remaining season.

This show has a habit of having what would be emotional plot points fall flat because of pacing and how quickly they go by.


Like if this android situation played out over a couple of episodes instead of one week, it would’ve been really good. I liked Iona and Sophie relationship. There’s a lot of similarities between the two, even getting as meta as Sophie saying they’re the same archetype lol.

We saw the same rushed plot issue with the Maria plot a couple weeks ago, where all of a sudden she can go back and forth between the demon and quiet girl easily lol. That didn’t hit hard because it was so conveniently resolved. Same thing here.

Ah yes, her weak point is between her tits. Nice. Looking forward to seeing more of Iona and some more competition for Ernest in the harem.

Also cool fact is that the white haired girl singing during the party is the OP singer Higuchi Kaede

First the GaoGaiGar reference with Galeon and now mentioning one of the best animes ever made Stand Alone Complex, this series has better anime taste than most anime fans.

So Iona is the newest member of the harem and she's an android with some human emotions. The rivalry with Sophie was entertaining to watch as their behaviors are kind of similar but it was nice that they became friends.

I figured Iona would somehow survive but I thought it would've taken a different approach, like her becoming more human and removing some of the android restrictions like the bomb but instead the link between her and "Mother" was restored. Earnest allowing her hugging Blade at the end until he got a face full of oppai was funny.

This has kind of become really generic. It's still somewhat enjoyable, and can be funny, but I don't see the point in this episode whatsoever, it's doesn't seem to tie in to any larger plot or anything. In fact, what even IS the larger plot at this point? It's turned into harem trash. If there were some more male characters and it wasn't just about women fawning over the hero then it would be better.

Absolutely agreed. The show doesn't know when to take itself seriously and when to goof around, it's often juxtaposed very unnaturally.

i find a lot of the characters in this show to be annoying and one dimensional, and iona isn't excluded from it. i wish they'd have kept a smaller main cast to expand on rather than introducing new characters basically every episode. it doesn't allow for proper character development and just makes a bunch of uninteresting characters you can't connect to.

Female sexism towards males, it's okay when we do it. Same females when males give them the middle finger and started to opt out of the dating game. Pikachu face.

Blade my guy, dude hear me out. All your "friends" are super toxic, dump them and get new ones ASAP! 

Another thing, Blade my guy. Stop being such a pvssy! Man up, take down everything in front of you, put everyone in their right place or ship out!

This episode simplify why the world has become the ffuk up place it is right now.... Repel the Nineteenth Amendment!

While it did make me tear up a little Iona begging not to die kind of unexpectedly taking a more human tone of voice which is what threw me off, it was a completely unnecessary issue created from the girls just wanting to see Blade get his ass kicked for what reason? This was pointless.

EP 8

I mean there's still eps to go but somehow im not particularly optimistic about this whole thing. The cast is just too massive


Seems like next ep, i mean i dunno, there's still plenty of eps to go and i think everyone is introduced now, but at this point like, im not really expecting much, every ep is basically an episodic

EDIT: Looks like iona is uchida aya, no wonder since I just heard her recently. Though of course

We finally get to meet the robot from the opening. Robots in a medieval world is very iconic lol. Seeing Iona interact with everyone was fun to see, especially when she and Sophie were competing to being Blade "servant"? It was also cute at the end when Iona didn't blow up after all and embraced Blade because she can be with him longer now haha.

Well, a robot is looking for Blade, though that Guardian took the shape of Earnest and transformed into a girl, forcing Blade to attack it. And as she regenerates back again to eradicate Blade, because he has committed to sexual harassment from Gilgamesh to help discover more about Earnest's Asmodeus blade from researchin the Great Library. Deriving her from her production model, the other girls are committed to helping her defeat Blade. And ah yes, the Ghost in the Shell reference for the "Stand Alone Complex", though to defeat her, it has Blade having to cop a feel out of her breasts to her core. The thing is, Blade is easily outmaneuvered because he didn't have space and time to execute his moves.

The thing is, the Mother computer extradited the android because of her insults, and left without a supervisor, she must find someone else to be her Master, or otherwise she'll self-destruct. Other than Cu and Sophie who has Blade commanding them, it's a fight between Sophie and Iona for supremacy for Blade lols. But deep within the recesses, there lies a common feature between them as robots. But the thing is, that command did not work, and even though the timer is slowed 1/10th down, it would mean that self-destruction is imminent, and throwing a last-minute party feels out of place, but what can they do to see her off in an amicable manner. And when time came, she did not self-destruct as intended, though Blade went to persuade Mother to spare her destruction.

Let the harem grow for you Blade.

I was on the fence after Mao got introduced, but this episode made Sophie the definitive best girl of the show for me, aside from Cu, but Cu is daughter material for me and is just a bundle of cuteness. I do like her interactions with Blade.

As for Sophie, she seems like the only one who actually seems to somewhat understand Blade and what he's thinking, which automatically puts her at the top for me. Sure, she does have an advantage of being a clone of the hero, but still. I feel like she also got the most amount of bonding time with Blade, though it's still not very much. She's also a kuudere, which I love.

Earnest is the type of tsundere I don't like and constantly makes everything out to be Blade's fault, Mao (I can't remember her other personality) is just there, and Yessica and the other girl are kind of annoying and feed into Earnest's delusions. I don't have an opinion about Iona yet, but I like her kuudere personality and the gap whenever she breaks character. Additionally, the entire group just doesn't think, and they very well could have caused harm with Iona's self-destruct, which they also caused, albeit they didn't know that.

I have more complaints, but I understand this is mostly a gag show with fan service, though the fan service is kind of meh at times. I just find Earnest's tsun really annoying.

In the first episode she appears in, the android girl displayed an excessive amount of emotions. Initially, she expresses a desire to harm him, only to abruptly change her stance and seek his servitude. Furthermore, she engages in a rivalry with Sophie over Blade. It appears that her character's sole purpose is to contribute to the harem dynamic, lacking any backstory or distinct personality beyond that.
