Ayase cooking with her friends in Econ class?! She's opening up now huh..

Looks like Aina is taking some responsibilities. I just hope she knows what the hell she is doing cause there's no turning back.

I wonder if Aina is going to be the final enemy.
From the preview, next episode seems to be about Chitose background story.

It seems no new episode next week because 2014 Winter Olympics. Episode 6 is scheduled to be aired on February 20, 2014.

Poor Aina. Now it seems like she is going to take revenge on the Z/X for killing her parents.

This is definitely turning into an infinite stratus type show, focuses more on the harem than the actual story and action, but ill hold on to it, I think its worth it

Here's what I don't understand about Aina. Sure her parents were killed by a Z/X, but if a human killed them instead, should she hate every single human and think of each and every one of them as evil killers? No, one normally wouldn't.

What even bothers me more is that Aina fully understands that her friends are good natured people, but rejects them nonetheless, merely because they use Z/X, who she has already been acquainted with and shown to be very nice, going so far as to bake cakes together, and later put themselves in harms way to protect her. It's like being afraid of a killer using a gun to shoot down someone, but trusting an armed police officer (most of the time), to take said killer down. Do you blame the gun, or the wielder? Rhetorical question.

Aina doesn't understand that not all Z/X are not all the same, so simply perceives them all with prejedice. On top of that, almost no two Z/X look alike (unless they're from the same zone). Some are angels, beasts, or demonic monsters. If you think of all of them as the same, you'd have to be blind, or be a pretty damn big hypocrite to still not compare them as other humans with the same criteria.

F*** Aina. She has her priorities skewed. She may as well trust a man handing out free candy from a white van, more than her friends that care for and protected her. I should have known, since she's the kind of person to chase down a goddamn balloon several blocks away into a clearly marked dangerous dark tunnel. It wasn't even one of those more expensive Mylar balloons, but the cheap latex kind that are given out for free half the time! And to chase a balloon seems rather futile in the first place, much like going after a rolling ball in the middle of traffic like an idiot.

To further point out that Aina is a hypocrite, she claims she isn't strong enough to want to take revenge together with a Z/X, but later on grabs hold of the Z/X to do just that; the very same one that possibly wanted to kill her!! FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Don't care what happens later. Aina could turn over a new leaf and become good again, or stay an idiot/evil; but if she doesn't die by the end of the series, I'm rating this series a -1 from a full score. So if the show is satisfactory 10/10, it'd be a 9/10 if Aina doesn't kick the bucket and get eliminated. Tennouji has enough smarter women around him...he doesn't need a stupid bitch with shit for brains that gives into temptation.

Damn, Aina's parents were taken by the Z/X, guess is pretty difficult for her to be friends with friendly Z/X huh. Well that solves everything until the end. Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday...

I think when she saw that mask she was under hypnosis or sth, making her dark feeling take control over her. We know she is too gentle and too scared to take revenge.

Aina's reasoning and hatred is skewed, and it's frustrating cause i just want to slap that chick to knock some sense into her. But oh well. Hopefully she doesn't outright die -getting her life force sucked out or whatever- but turns into a baddie that can get her ass kicked. Followed by redemption somewhere down the line probably.

Poor Aina, it was sad to see her parent got killed by Z/X. It looked like Aina was under hypnosis by the mask to kill the Z/X, since she didn't really want to kill them anyway.

I really hate it when characters say: My parents were killed by "...." so I hate all "...."

i feel bad for laughing alot when she tells ayase about her parents for the reason when they say Z/X

"Z/X killed my parents"
"i could never use Z/X"
"I want revenge against Z/X"
"Tennoji uses Z/X?"

have not even laughed this hard for an comedy anime xD

and that evil chick was so damn cheesy i could not take her serious, it kinda hard to take this anime serious but what the hell Sawashiro as a VA cant be skipped

I can understand how Aina must feel but she's acting so selfish. It's not Ayase, Fierte or Tennoji's fault what others Z/X did to her parents. I want to slap her so hard, the most annoying character in the whole show. I wonder what kind of bullshit she's going to do now.
Oh, and I hope this is not as focused on the harem, because it bores me.

That was sooo stupid. I never like Aina in the first place so now my feelings for her just dropped below the negatives. It honestly would be just a waste of time trying to save her. She's so weak.. i dont even pity the fact that her parents were killed by Z/X. If she stuck to her principles of not being with Z/X sure i would respect her but she gets broken so easily by that mask and decides to take revenge hours later she claims of not wanting revenge... pathetic
the stupidity is real in this girl.

I thought this'll be a happy burst day party episode but then that Aina...

.. she just separated from the group to what?? to get a balloon for a kid.. a balloon that is practically impossible to get back since its fucking floating!

It's actually kinda understandable at her case since it happened when she was a kid.. you know.. same with being attacked by a bear when you're too young then ended up having a trauma and then you hated bears from then on.. it can't be helped but bears don't think like Z/X so I don't know.. it's understandable and not at the same time

Well, Aina isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Even Ayase is able to tell friend and foe apart.

Can't say I can take the sudden hanging about the cast has going on in this episode, seriously. Like, since episode 1, they all could have killed each other, but now they are baking a cake together... Lmao.

Aina, don't do it. Don't fall to the dark side. Anyway, does that mask even count as a Z/X? I thought it was Malice's weapon? Judging by the preview, we might not find out until later on.

Well I guess all that lying to the character with no special powers finally caught up to the main characters, for once.
