Think that was an action filled episode though my mind drifted off several times and it bored me for some reason.

Ahhh, ichika conquered kazashi's route. hahahaha nice! But with the ones who fought the unmanned IS, only Tatenashi-san was injured...

And also why does whenever they have an event, there's always a hindrance to it? first the catch orimura-kun, then this tag match, they never had a peaceful event hahahaha.


so agree, why every damn time there is a event they are attacked? i dunno but after 2 times wouldnt be good to put some guardians or i dunno lol... tanenashi was injured during others had nothing at all(she is suppose to be the stronger IS) even if ichika has won 1+ to his harem, he is too much careless to understand that all of them love him, since its the show its fine but i dont really care anymore about any other girls joining his harem, they are quite stupid to do it

p.s in short the season 2 is kind dissapointing a bit for me, i will still watch the show, only i would say that its lower that average right now

What in the flipping hell happened to the "I'm immortal" line...completely ignored much....
I swear even if Kanzashi does confess correctly or any other girl, Ichika would still not realize it because he's too much of a dense thick-headed MC...

P.S: I'm still couldn't hear Chiwa-chan voice on the ED or this is just my feeling...

it because its always happening? ichika is weaker that any characters in this anime, the episode 9 was not real at all, lot of contradictions happened, the second season actually is lame for my part

p.s the whole serie is based on the harem though with a guy oblivious

The only reason Ichika has any girls at all that like him is because he's the only bloody guy in that whole compound. I mean, what the hell else does he have going for him? He's thick-headed as a brick, can literally get his ass whooped in his IS by ANY of the girls, he's got like no sense of humour and not a romantic bone in his body. I've seen plenty of harem anime with bumbling, inept, loser MCs but this guy...
On another note, i really like his newest addition to his harem. I think the Sarashiki imouto is adorable, and she's quickly becoming one of my favs. Her onee-chan, will probably join the harem too, as soon as she at least confesses to herself that she loves ichika. Although, with her aggressiveness, if she does realize she actually loves him, she'll probably lock down that guy while all the others are still spinning their tires in the mud. Over all this isn't a very good season so far plot-wise. But i like me my harems, so there is that...

Only harem series I've watched with a badass MC is Hagure Yuusha no Estetica. All other MC's always seem to be weaker than the heroines :\ I personally don't think Ichika is that bad.

Welp, I was seriously worried they're gonna kill Tatenashi off, glad they didn't have the balls to do it. The characters (except for Ichika) are the only reason I'm watching this, lol.

This episode has so much bullshit and contradictions in it.

We know next to nothing about Kanzashi other than her relationship with her big sis, yet we're supposed to be sympathizing with her just because she's crying?

Ichika comes to Kanzashi's rescue as if he knew exactly where she was. He somehow responded to Kanzashi's almost inaudible cries for help through a thick barrier?

Tatenashi was shown to be a monster in battle, yet she got wiped out easily by those unmanned things.

The whole out-of-body conversation feels out-of-place and useless.

The entire action sequence served no larger plot purpose, nor did it add any depth to Kanzashi's character other than to add her to the harem.

They got one part right, though: They didn't show us how useless Ichika was when he left Kanzashi's side. It would've been a waste of time to show his part in the battle because we all know by now that Season 2 Ichika can't do jack by himself.

That Gundam-like newtype space where the 3 pilots/characters talk to each other and then miraculously resolve all their misunderstanding and conflicts just seems too contrived and convienient...

And the action scenes are a bit messy too. I don't even get to see clearly who and who are fighting what, and what exactly happened in the various fights going around.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

It looks like Tatenashi may actually have real feelings Ichika. I'm pulling for her. I think she brings a more maturity to the relationship then the others.
Definitely. Everyone else has just been screwing with him. When will there be a less assaultive girl!? No, not Tatenashi, she doesn't have any affectionate feelings towards Ichika, just sexually harassing him.

Lol, +1.
I'm glad that Tatenashi is in good terms with her sister now, and I was damn worried about Tatenashi in this episode, she got injured pretty bad... I can't choose a favorite between the girls though, but I gotta say, Tatenashi is something! Even though I enjoy all of them, for now it's Tatenashi, Houki, and Charlotte! And the OP, I like that stuff!

That 8bit paperbag

Some brutal battles has been presented to us
Looking past Kanzashi's tardness this was a great episode action wise

The arsenal coming from the exo suits was a feast for the eyes
I hope the focus on the Rei sisters will be toned down for the remaining episodes

More Charlotte, Houki or the others!

Kanzashi was very stupid in the beginning of this episode,Tatenashi almost died by her fault,if she would die i would never forget Kanzashi.She was so selfish,didn't care for her sister for 2 years (if i'm not mistaken)...
I'm glad that Tatenashi is alive.
Oh c'mon i miss the other girls,stop already with Kanzashi,i want more Charlotte,Houki,Laura,Cecilia & Rin.....

Yeah, but oh well, bewbs......right???
"You shall not pass" Ohhh fansubbers :3 This is why I prefer fansubs instead of official subs.
Well, I am just happy to see Tatenashi and Kanzashi on good terms again :)
I love Anime too, Kanzashi!!! Why can't we be together T^T

Tatenashi risks her life and in the end she makes up with Kanzashi her sister. Hardly any Charlotte this episode, but it doesn't really matter.

Kanzashi says she's in love, but she doesn't say with what or who. Although she gave Ichika the impression that she loves anime xD

This show...

What was the point of freaking drama in previous episode if you will resolve it with life and death situation easily. She just forgot she was played and forgot with the simply ''yeah she cares for me.'' Honestly, they should avoid doing any damn tournaments anymore, seems it's an ill omen as always something bad happens. And besides it's only just a fight of Ichika and his girl friends... not like anyone else is progressing.

Unknown attacks! Better send out the students! Also, it clearly shows that everyone is struggling with their opponents at first. To put on emphasis in how the new enemy is tough, Tatenashi uses her ultimate move to finish that IS. And then she was down for a count. But during the end it shows that others defeated their foes without a scratch.... Come on man!

I don't want to nitpick but crap like this is clear as day...
Good action though.

How did this battle even work? Most of them at least make some sense.

Release the instructors because the students can't launch, but it's still only the students fighting. The strongest pilot Tatenashi succeeds in blowing up her mech somehow. Kanzashi has no battle experience but is somehow holding her own. No one has energy left, but they're still using weapons. Not to mention being conveniently thrown around.

Tournaments are cursed in this show. Every time the event is about to happen, there's always an incident that forces them to cancel it. lol

Ichika is denser than a black hole. Even if she told him directly she loves him, he wouldn't be able to get it. And she's officially waifu #6 based on the ED and group pic.
