| The way they animated that fight was so godly that I got chills. Nerorex said: Can we give rakudai a second season instead of asterisk? Seconded. This is by far the superior of the magical school battle harems this season, though I honestly still can't get over the fact that a subgenre that sounds like it should be niche has at least 1 anime airing at all times lmao. |
| excellent episode the battle was really intense and well animated. I really hope this gets a second season, we need more Stella! Asterisk isnt bad either but this is the superior series. And it is mile ahead of crappy Anti Magic Academy so I guess its one hit and one miss for Silver Link. |
| The fight was really well done, I was actually stumped something with that kind of quality made into this kind of anime. I wanted Shizuku to win, though. Alice is slowly becoming a better character than the mains, which is interesting. |

| The animation in this episode during Shizuku and Todo's fight was pretty damn good. It's amazing how this fight was better than all of the major fights featuring Ikki combined. Sure, the outcome of this fight was still predictable from a mile away, but actually seeing these two be pretty much equally matched until literally the last possible second made this fight more intense. Unlike Ikki's fights, where it's a one-sided onslaught from his opponent but then the powers of MC allow him to one-shot them after previously being unable to land so much as a finger on them. There was no one-sided onslaught here, these two were pretty much equal for the most part. Let's see what that shady guy at the end is up to...... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| That fight was magnificent! Touka is so much stronger than I first thought. I get the feeling Touka didn't go all out which makes me wonder how the hell Ikki is going to land even a single scratch on her without it being a complete asspull. I just wish Stella would be the one who ends up fighting her instead but we all know that isn't going to happen. It would be a lot more exciting and interesting to see than having Ikki fight her. |
 |
| Okay seriously, the animation on this fight was just fucking great. Silver Link really pulling their A-game on this one. Overall just a fantastic episode |

| Who would of thought the best fight so far didn't have either of the main characters in it was looking forward to seeing Touka fight ever since seeing her in the OP did not disappoint. granted we never seen Shizuku fight once so i couldn't even comment on the dozens of Arts she used but she won me over,seems everyone is just able to make clones of themselves lol.. if only more of the fights were more evenly match like this makes for a far more interesting fight |
 |
| The fight scene was just something out of this world, it holds up even to the Shirou vs Gilgamesh fight scene and that says something. Shizou finally got some long needed characterisation, instead of just some random brocon. Personally I wanted her to win but I understand that they coulnd´t let her win, otherwise Touka would either not be as Op or Shizou would be wayy too Op. I wonder how Ikki will fight her if they were to cross blades. since he knows about her technique he might be ablo to come up with something just like with the Sword Eater. Anyways, so hyped for the next ep.! |
| Fight of the Fall 2015 Season. That was amazing. Some crazy-ass particle animation was going on there, thought it was Unlimited Blade Works for a second ;P 9/10 episode! |
 |
| Alice was my favourite character already, but I'm liking Alice even more now. |
 |
| well the homo x imouto ship.. :3 pair the spares... good idea |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| Shit, fantastic episode. That battle was absolutely great, fucking intense. I got the chills watching it. Student Council President was just OP. Only two more episodes left.... |
  |
| This fight was basically Chidori Nagashi vs Hidden Mist Jutsu. |
| LOL that quality XD Poor baby shizuku :'( Ikki will steal the move cause he already knows how it works, he just needs to experience it some more. |
 |
| That was very well-done :) ... Silver Link is bringing their A game. And just as a sidenote, as one more reason why I really _like_ Rakudai. Instead of artificially playing the Stella/Shizuku rivalry up, we can see them behaving like normal people. Stella showing some genuine concern, and Shizuku noticing/accepting it without further escalating things. Though I still wonder if shifting episodes 9 and 10 around was a good idea. Guess that getting to know Touka in episode 11 will feel kind of weird... ^_^; |

Nerorex said: Can we give rakudai a second season instead of asterisk? The animation for the fight was amazing After watching this episode I have to agree with you. The fight is awesome. Tohka is hot without her glasses pretty BA. 5/5 |
 |
| That fight went beyond my expectations .. Just. wow. Asterisk needs to learn from this show. This is how you do fights, not 1 minute matches. I can't wait to see Ikki vs Toka.(assuming that is happening) |
 |
| Wow....this episode has the best battle scene I've seen so far this season. So intense, this is what I seek. I think I just found my favorite character.... But oh no....only 2 episodes left...the 2nd season is a must |

| Shizuku after giving her all still lost it seems we saw how hard it is to try but to fail yet never give up |
 |
| The fight between Shizuku and Tohka was simply amazing. It's definitely one of the best fights in the series; animated really well too! I really like Shizuku's sword's ability to use water and also freeze it to the point of it becoming ice. Tohka seems so intimidating and overpowered with her Raikiri power. It was great to see a lot of Shizuku character development and monologues. It was also really nice for Stella to cheer Shizuku on. Those Shizuku water clones were really cool, I actually thought she had died before realising it was a clone. Sadly, Shizuku lost from Tohka's short-ranged direct Raikiri attack. Shizuku fought so well though! Alice staying back to comfort Shizuku was really sweet. Shizuku's father is so shady; who is that guy laughinga t the end geezus. How will Ikki handle Tohka? Can't wait to find out~ 5/5 |

AvatarJinzo said: Fai said: That would only hurt Shizuku more. because she would feel like she has caused him suffering. Maybe or maybe but still Ikki could done the same thing that Alice to Shizuku. He could stay behind and hug her telling her he watch the whole and he's very proud of her and she's doesn't need to act tough. Like a big brother. But that's just me. Do you remember Alice's line? "I am not the one you want to protect nor person you don't want to lose. So you needn't act tough in front of me." It's the very reason Shizuku didn't want Ikki or Stella to comfort her. I guess Ikki understands his proud sister to a certain extent. |
| this anime was awesome, every battle has quality also this battle, wow that's very high tension battle and this anime has the best ends card ever |

| Wow that was some epic animation, and I loved those last few cuts of the fight. Toka is OP as crap, eyes closed like a pro but Shizuku still did great against her, I'm happy she got some good character development. I'm really enticed to pick up the light novels now~ And I just can't skip that opening theme! One reason is just because it's an awesome song, a second reason is that I love watching how they change the fight scenes in the OP |

| Wow, it was epic... :o |
 read from right to left |
| just gonna echo everyone +1 best fight of the show +1 best battle centered episode +1 didn't like shizuku until this episode +1 one of the best anime fights in this genre that whole boob scene was dumb as hell though, but japan gonna japan the only thing asterisk has over this show is the ED |
Nerorex said: Can we give rakudai a second season instead of asterisk? The animation for the fight was amazing Yeah. I am still puzzled as to why Asterisk has a second cour lined up. |
 |
| THAT FIGHT DOE |
 |
| Awesome episode! This battle was literally just amazing like literally crazy from start to finish! Toka is so damn strong and Shizuku showed up a lot more than I thought she would so props to her/ Was also cool to learn more about her past and see why she is close and trying to get stronger for Ikki and then that cliffhanger with the damn father sending golem things at Ikki! Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzz6HX8XCzU&feature=youtu.be |
| damn good fight for sure. |
 |
| Shizuku put up a really good fight. I wonder Ikki will defeat lightning girl. ~Great episode!!! |
 |
| Very nice episode. <3 Ikki & Shizuku's father is a candidate for Father of the year.... Touka vs Ikki in the finale. :D |
 |
| wow that was really intense but did you seriously think she was gonna win |
 |
| That was one of the best fights I've seen. I've seen quite a few. Really loved the variety of techniques both Shizuku and Toka used. Animation was amazing. Choreography was great and it didn't feel that one sided even tho Toka had quite the lead. She's so friggin BA! Really love her fighting style a lot. All her mid air flips and the lightning effects look so cool. Shizuku's fighting style wasn't any less impressive. She was amazing. The way she uses Ice and clones is awesome. Sucks she lost :( I really want to see Toka vs Ikki. That's gonna be epic. Loved the AlicexShizuku hug scenes. |

| THIS is how you host a fight, with the two contenders battling it out straight at it, full force, NOT spending 80%-90% of the time in slow motions to listen to the characters' strategical monologues that are frankly unrealistic bullshit. Of course there must be strategy, but in this case they handled it well by keeping it simple and to the point, "ok imma do this now" and she goes an entire row of attacks doing that. Fantastic, amazing, MORE FIGHTS LIKE THIS PLEASE, not just here but on the entire anime and manga world as well, when I watch a fight I want A BATTLE not a mental chess. Shizuku you're a really brave girl. I liked her background, and I'm more convinced of how disgusting the household and Ikki's and Shizuku's father is on the matter, specially since he seems to be plotting bullshit again? The fuck is his problem. Also, it seems our dear Raikiri is Rank B only? And Sword Eater is Rank C? o_O Just what kind of behemoths are Rank A and Rank S then? |

|
| amazing fight |
 |
| this fight was amazing- there were no shortcuts to the animation at all. I kinda wanted to know more about Todo. When she jumps right in front of Shizuku the first time got me pumped. |

| Though I knew Shizuku was going to lose, it was definitely an amazing and intense fight scene! I wonder what's going to happen on the next episode :o |
| WAIT. THERE'S ONLY 2 MORE EPISODES LEFT!? |
