| Omg one more member to the loli army The rentarou-tina fight was meh,but i'm suspecting Takuto is planning his revenge after getting shot in the finger and getting humiliated. Tina and enju is so kawaii! Can't wait to see them in action. |
| Oh, a miracle happened again. Rentarou gotta slow down with cursing his luck so early. |
| Talk about predictable. rant starts here: Up until last episode I was happy I'm watching this. Loli had to get shot by Rentarou because she couldn't be saved, the world was cruel and dark place and everything presented up to that point (with the exception of 1st episode) made it seem like this is one dark anime in loli costume. Hell, police officers shot a girl in the head because she was one of the cursed children and even Enju was getting expelled and hated in her school when they found out what she was. And now this. When they started their epic show-off I pointed my fingers in the air and said the usual anime words: "Cue in the forgiveness speech!". And lo and behold, I was right. Rentarou saved the girl, stopped the bad guy, gave a speech about love, forgiveness and all that crap and all is fine now. Guess I had too high hopes for this one. /rant But seriously, how do they go from complete darkness of having girl shot in the head by the police, protagonist having to shoot another because of body decay, Enju being hated in school because of what she is, last antagonist making strong, STRONG case of why current world sucks and needs to be changed to life-saving speeches and this episode in general? |
| What a load of bullshit that training simulator is. The sniper can't even shoot Rentaro properly using a sniper rifle yet Rentaro's measly hand gun can somehow hit a sniper hiding far away? There's a reason snipers use the much more stable rifle instead of a small hand gun! No wonder Tina's power level may be over 9000 but that's because the simulator sucks ass! |

| A 16-17 years old boy beating the crap out of a 8-9 years old girl... |
| The first requirement of being a hero isn't being right.It's being strong.That's why the hero always wins. Maloween candies:            X11 |
| I give this series back at 7. The pacing problem & the bad writing is killing me i really like this anime......guess who the villian is? I was joking guys...wow...just wow.... |

| It's great that Tina joined them! I really like her like a character! And she's really strong, too, so she'll be of great help! But we didn't learn anything about what happened with Enju's corrosion yet again. |
 |
| I forgot to mention how ridiculous it is that Rentaro was able to perform super human movements to defeat Tina yet he couldn't shake off two foot soldiers. |

They are higher in ranking, he would get killed for treason/whatever. Princess girl showed up and made him their superior, now he can do whatever he wants. |

| Rentaro's power level is 2200, but God the cheesiness of Rentaro's lines during the fight is over 9000 |
 |
| Wow he is rank 300 now, nice going Satomi |

I said shook them off, not kill them off. Plus Rentaro was more than happy to defy mr. smart pants and his subordinates in the toilet before. |

I don't know about how you see it, but to me that would be counter productive so Rentaro is not too wrong to defy him. This time he was killing an 'enemy.' If Rentaro defies him he's a traitor. |

Seitenshi clearly doesn't think so, not to mention she's fond of him and very lenient. A hot-headed OP character like him is not someone who would be scared of the word "treason". Plus Rentaro shouting "Don't kill her, you bastard! I'll kill you!" should already count as defying if we're talking about technicality. |

yanaro said: He was totally trying to shake them off, but he couldn't, clearly due to lacking of strength, not because he's "scared of becoming a traitor". I'm assuming the following: 1. Those two are not totally useless (sure not as strong as he is but surely they're not high ranking just for the lulz). We need a LN reader to verify this, if it is mentioned. 2. Rentaro is worn out from his previous battle. She's one of the 'demons' in the top 100 after all. I'm guessing this fight was shortened like Rentaro vs. Kagetane so it didn't seem that way. jiraiya_sensei said: Seitenshi clearly doesn't think so, not to mention she's fond of him and very lenient.

Technically yeah, but shouting =/= actually doing something. |

| Tina \o/!! Go Tina! More lolis, can't wait to meet the other two and their initiator. Bad bodyguard... this character wasn't well made up in my opinion... he was so overly drastic with everything for no reason. I always assumed Tina would be Kisara's partner.. but it is looking like that may be wrong. |
| Tina is adorable |

| With Tina on the team, no one will ever mess with Kisara ever again. After all the blood and death in the past few weeks we finally get a relatively "light-hearted" episode. Wasn't too bad I guess. I love how Rentaro is the only realist of the agency, seriously like he said, Enju and Kisara shed their sense of danger and animosity of Tina waaaay too fast. Did I see a dual loli in Rentaro's bed scene in the preview???? Woah.... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Good episode but Rentero beat the *** out Tina and then just stopped by two regular soldiers lol :) |
| Great episode! Looking forward seeing Tina in teamwork! |
| This show's silliness level just surpassed 9000%. |
 |
| Woah im surprised, i was so sure that Tina is going to die this episode. But im happy that she survived. Anyway, i feel like Enju is kinda useless in all fights compared to Rentaro, so i hope she gets stronger or something x_x |
| ...that scene with glass boy was face palm worthy. they tried so hard to make him cringe worthy and they did their job but i couldnt help wanting to drop this show. what an anti climatic ending of this shitty arc. |
    |
| Arggggg, so many mixed feelings about this series. The pacing was faster then a coked up cheetah with rocket boosters during the first few episodes and then the cheetah hit a brick wall after episode 5, but that was probably for the best. The character development is also horrible, but got damn it is there some badass shit going on. |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| Huh Tina....Lived...Huh thought she would get killed(shot most likely) by the guy on the phone (which is what i thought happened when they were leaving). The Sorta new OP Did pretty much show she was gonna become good though so that i expected. though her fully living not so much. When Seitenshi Raised Rentarous rank and said "Which makes you second lieutenant yasuwaki's superior" man i had the biggest grin on my face. Shot em right in the hand (finger whatever). Good one on yah Rentarou! And now Tina joins our band of main characters. 2 BADASS lollis is both adorable and pretty damn cool. |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| Well, that got wrapped up neatly. So, Tina followed Rand's commands even though she doesn't want to and then after she gets captured she just forgets about it? He told her to kill herself if she failed, which demonstrated that he had some kind of strong power over her, but she just ignores it. For everything this show does well there's at least one thing that it either glosses over or fucks up. |
| Looks like it's getting serious the next episode... After seeing the after-ending preview |
 悲しい… 悲しいわ… 今日のこと、「お月さま」にも教えてあげないと。 あなたも… 私 “たち” の中に… 取り込んであげる。 |
| I'm super glad Tina is safe. She's part of the team now, so cute! |
| This anime is enjoyable enough to keep watching, but there are just so many problems. They make Rentaro look like a god. He has his own fucking harem, can defeat people with power levels over 6 times his strength, and is as cliche as they come. I mean come on, " I want power so I can protect my friends". Thats just so overused. They don't focus on any of the other characters, cause Rentaro is just so important. And I don't even think the base animation was that good this episode, I just saw a bunch of still frames in that one action scene, and I kind of face palmed. The thing with the fast pacing however, is that it is still fun to watch even if there are a million and one problems with it, so I am still kind of enjoying it regardless. |
| So....this is basically a loli harem anime at this point, right? |
JustALEX said: So....this is basically a loli harem anime at this point, right? Well, so far, there's only two lolis, Enju and Tina, but then again, there are the two other not-lolis Kisara and Miori, so far adding up to four girls in total. I wonder if there will be more girls added to the harem? |
| And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible. |
| I don't understand the part with the flashbang and the "Owl's element" |
| What kind of shit episode is this. It builds up all that suspense only to conclude with one smiling Enju setting off one misplaced grenade and finishing with one hax combo. Can this anime do anything without sudden deus ex hax followed by feel-good sentimentality? I swear that moment Rentarou got rank 300, I felt my severe SAO aversion resurface. Randomly-pulled GM account anyone? If it wasn't for fripSide this beta anime would be long gone. It makes Hidan no Aria seem good. 4/10 |
| So many unexplained terminologies. Well, at least in the end Tina became their comrade. |
| I'm not a fan of Yuki Kaji by any means, but this episode I really felt the animation was just too lame to keep up with his voice acting. Anyway, another subpar episode. Harem intensifies. |

JoksPacifist said: opondica said: In case you or anybody else didn't already know, Ayn Rand is in fact a real person. Although this obviously isn't the same Ayn Rand in the show, I think it's interesting that he is likely named after her, and it makes me wonder a little if we're in for something at all Bioshock-esque. I mean, Ayn Rand isn't exactly a common name. So cursed children as little sisters huh, if only. I hope someone steps in and says: "Stop being so cheesy, would you kindly" I was going to say something about with Ayn Rand you should have said The Fountainhead-esque but the little sister and cursed children connection is too good a point to show what you mean. |
 |
| Yeah :) a powerhouse into the team :D |
 |
| TBH the pacing in here was too fast and the directing of it was off for some reason. Although Tina's arc was good, but her story was too rush. Still I enjoy it of it nevertheless. Aside from this, Satomi is going full out by taking out Tina, but then spares her life. Wow that a-hole bodyguard shot Tina, well at least Satomi shot him back after getting promoted :D. Now that makes 2 loli's on his side XD. Tina working for Kisara would be fun XD. Just glad that both Tina and Enju survived in this episode. |
| My eyes hurt because of rushing episode. I'm still confused what really happened. Missing common thread! |
| Yay, Rentaro is rank 300 and Tina is the new member |
 |
| Tina is so damn adorable *_* |
| I feel like I'm being spoonfed by the plot. Ah well anyways, Tina is awesome as hell. The pacing is still rushed imo. OST is awesome. |

| Ya Im bored of this now. Dropped. |
