----------------------------------------
So the focus is more on Tooru Yukimura this episode..the dude with the glasses. I think he has a more serious personality than Matsuoka. The survival themes is still obviously present in this episode.

Action picked up in the second half. Not sure how I feel about Yukimura though. I guess he is a bit intimidating even compared to Matsuoka. Well, the two aren't exactly getting well like friends..

Yukimura wasn't what I was expecting at all.

The first half of the episode felt kind of boring tbh.

Wow the subs are really slow for this show.
Which is a shame because some awful shows are getting subbed right away.

Can't understand a thing, so waiting... xD

the humor was nice this ep. especially the ero manga joke.
first part was a bit slow, but it really picked up towards the end.
couldn't understand a line or two but i'll watch it again when its subbed.

Hotaru being a girl would've been revealed in this episode already if Masamune just questioned Yuki why he was referring to Hotaru as "Hentai-kun." They must want to deliver the reveal in a more dramatic fashion.

Yuki's friendship and trust issue felt extremely cliched. Not to mention how easily Hotaru became friends with him. She might not read Ero-manga, but she probably reads a lot of Shoujo/Shounen series to pull them dialogues off precisely.

The battle was over pretty quickly, but I guess those Greyhound guys were probably all bark and no bite. Hopefully the next ones will be more tensed.

Average episode. The S&M manga part was easily the best scene. Yuki's pen name is a bit too feminine though.

omg I am LOVING Yukimura. It's not everyday that you see a hentai mangaka character.
Matsuoka and Yukimura is similar to Tamaki and Kyouya from Ouran. Blonde handsome bishie is good friends with black haired glasses person.

A decent episode, it was better in the second half when they were playing against those assholes. Yukimura is an ero-mangaka huh.........weird, but he definitely looks like one

Really enjoyed this episode. Yukimura-sensei became my new favorite character though I really wasn't fond of his past. But I can say that I'm enjoying all of our characters so far so that's a plus.

Interested if most of this anime will be about paintball wars or if we'll have more sol eps.

LOL! An S&M mangaka. I liked how Hotaru threw his manga in the trash instantly.



Pervert-kun is a force to be reckoned with when he's in a serious mood.



It was cool seeing a bit of the survival games.
Looking forward to more serious 3 vs 3 team battles once Hotaru gets better at this.

Underwhelming battle, but at least it introduced Yukimura properly. Despite that, Hotaru's tsukkomi lines and the S&M author thing were funny to see. And I'm not sure if I heard right, but it's kind of unusual to have Hotaru refer as Tachibana when talking about herself to other people.

The battle wasn't as hype as I thought it would be but it was still enjoyable nonetheless....I like how popular the survival games are too

Yukimura was really interesting and very funny to me and the way he goes about talking about his ero S&M manga as well as peeping in the ladies room had me dying xD

I'm gonna be looking forward to seeing our trio grow more together :'')

Love the opening and (even more) the ending song. Anyway, in this episode, we get introduced to Yukimura, a hentai mangaka. The part where Hotaru opened the manga given to her by Yukimura was funny.

About the battle, it wasn't as great as the one in the first episode, probably because it was more focused on Yukimura's problems than the battle itself. It wasn't that bad though, just underwhelming.

Overall, average episode. Let's see how this plays out....

Very good episode. We finally meet the third member of the team, and we get some good backstory on him. I laughed a lot when he turned out to be hentai mangakka :D, and how he made the other team beg for an autograph :D. His story was kind of sad, but I am happy he finally accepted Tachibana.

this show is so slow and cliche its hard to watch. i hate yukimura and tachibana so much their characters are so forced it makes me shiver. its like every five seconds the fact that "TACHIBANA IS A HERO OF JUSTICE" is being shoved down my throat. why and how did they have enough time to pan through multiple flashbacks when hiding from the other team? not to mention incredibly awkward static poses while another characters talking.

Awful drama, horrible cliches yet it was fun to watch. That is weird but probably because it is light hearted and not as bad as this season's other anime I found this episode alright.

Toy Gun Gun has got to be one of the most ridiculous team names ever. I applaud Masamune for thinking it up. XD

I knew I sensed an S&M vibe from Yukimura! Aah, I can't decide which side of him I like best. Both seem just as good as the other!

Isn't it slightly worse to be called a pervert by a hentai mangaka than by some random pervert?

It was somewhat fun to watch this episode.

Yukimura seems interesting. Quite possessive of being Masumune's only friend, but he's still oddly cool! Lol!

Is pushing a gun with a gun allowed or not? That is something I didn't really understand.

Wow that was just... bad

Not only was the whole "betrayal" cheesy and cliché as fuck, but the actual progression of the survival game itself made like no sense. At one moment she's surrounded by three people at only a few meters range, then the next they're all suddenly on the same side saying "corner her!" as if implying they hadn't already done that a minute ago. Then when Yukimura joins the scene they suddenly "lose her" as if she magically disappears, and they have a loud conversation for like 2 minutes without anyone noticing that they're there despite having been shooting at that location just a moment ago. Like wtf? At least try to stay consistent to your own flow of events...

Oh and when she charges the guy despite him having her dead center in his sights for like 10 meters but was still somehow incapable of firing was also a thing of beauty. Plus some pseudo-yaoi vibes on top of it

Only good part was the S&M stuffs at the very end

WOW! THAT WAS SO.. cliched. Jfc. They just made the theme (survival games) different but it's still the same old generic crap in anime. I'm dropping this one. I have a feeling Masamune will soon fall in love with Tachibana and he'll soon question his sexuality but will later find out that she's really a girl and blah blah blah *insert generic situations here* blah blah.

This episode had a mixture of comedy and action which is awesome I love these type of moments. Most of the time I was thinking about Kirito. I love how he just dragged her out of the house in her Pyjamas it was funny and also Hentai - Kun xD

I think rather than not allowed, it was more so not expected? Perhaps a flub in the translation? In the manga, the guy is just shocked ("Wha..." 'He used a gun to deflect the gun's barrel...?!')

I also thought that maybe the translation wasn't correct. Guess I'll just assume that Tachibana had done something crazy.

Amazing!! I'm getting more and more absorbed by this anime :3 Yuki was so cute, I rather love his personality, he looks very suited for survival games, the toilette scene was hilarious, and the part when Tachibana discovered his manga, her reaction was priceless, and Matsuoka was pretty cool too *___* *yells where is your pride as a host when you can't tell he's a she??*
