danieltortoisee said: Seriously, if Todo is that strong and can cut through Shizuku's best attack without even breaking a sweat, how the hell did she not win? How powerful was the "spear guy" that actually won the tournament? Great fight scene though, and I can't wait to see Ikki fight Todo (assuming that actually happens). Moroboshi is a brilliant strategist, and very skilled in martial arts too. With his power that can cancel out blazer powers and even chip and destroy devices, he is a formidable foe. But since Ikki doesn't rely on his powers (more that he doesn't have any, save for strengthening which everybody already have) and the number of tricks Ikki has up his sleeves are immense(even more in the novel like he wielded his intetsu like a kodachi to defend, used a crawling sprinting method to get through some of swordeater's attacks, and even when none of his tricks worked and he was totally on the passive getting hurt, he still managed to waste away swordeater's stamina for a chance to strike), it would be much more difficult for Moroboshi to keep Ikki out like Todo. It would be an interesting match that restricts to mostly martial arts and not blazer powers, and Todo herself estimated that the matchup would be 4:6, because Ikki is an unconventional case. |

But BGMaxie said: The real power of some character will be revealed in volume 4 which is sadly didn't get covered by anime.I've heard of some things, basically you mean... I'm not sure how or why Stella is Rank A thought. The Director and teacher I can understand sort of why, but I'd like to see what kind of power they have to that. Simply put I wanna see some REAL Rank-A level power. Stella vs Ikki did not help in showing as much sadly enough. Though what I mean S rank is I just read it on wiki today btw. And yeah Edelweiss is number 1 blazer in the world but there is no mention of her rank. That Amane's ranking is confusing.. S or A? Need more info. |

straggy said: 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. +3 |
| Great episode, what a great battle between Shizuku and Touka, a great show of power and strength, but I do not like the Touka's character, which has not yet shown its true face, next episode things start to get hectic, I look forward to see the final development of the anime .. |
  |
| Next episode should be intense. |
 |
| The animation... was freaking hype! Rakudai by far the best this winter season list. |
  |
| Uwa that was pretty intense. I thought Toka was gonna be a typical glasses shy girl But damn she badass as fuck I mean why bother giving her glasses when she looks sooo much better without them? When Shizuku went for that last slash and then the screen went like more focused, ohman gave me chills What a great fight |
 |
| That was a pretty intense fight, you could really feel power in those slashes. Too bad that Shuzuku didn't beat Toka. |
blazehero said: Damn student council president wasnt even trying. that's the terrifying part, who knows what her true potention is.... |
 |
| This was a sick episode! I really like how the fights are long and detailed in this show! This one especially was badass. Shame that the animation in this show is so so, with a better budget this would've looked even more gorgeous! Still 5/5! |

The fights look amazing and all the other scenes move smoothly without errors, even this far into the cour. There's nothing to be complaining about, especially considering this is an ecchi. |
| What a sick fight. Great animation, just... just... Bloody awesome. Alice, you go brosister(?)!... Always there for Shizuku :) Fai said: 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. I 100% agree. But we all know this world ain't fair... What truly puzzles me is how some people say Asterisk is superior than Rakudai... That's nowhere near reality and to be honest, this episode just leveled up EVEN more the discrepancy between these two anime that started almost with the same settings but, as they progress, only one manages to genuinely exceed expectations... One did things the right way, and the other... Not so right. IMO |

| Good intense battle this episode (which was really all the episode was). But I just realized something strange about this competition: If they are now in round 13 and presumably have a couple more to go, that means we have over 30,000 competitors. Clearly this school is much larger than it seemed from what they've shown (and there should be hundreds of faculty as well). The bigger issue is the time required for all the battles - they'd have to have hundreds every day in multiple arenas, but the show doesn't give the impression that that is what's going on. |
SovereignSky said: @Memphis: well for starters, while I DO like Asterisk, part of the reason is probably because Asterisk is a harem and this isn't. We all know Harems are big in Japan so they probably got more budget to make 2 seasons. Second, remember SL is also doing Anti Magic Academy this season so they have to divide their budget between each anime. Also getting back on Asterisk again, the fact that it's getting a VN/Dating sim for Vita says a LOT about Japan's tastes to begin with. Though I don't see this as a problem as I'm sure Rakudai will get a second season. The problem with Asterisk isn't because it is Harem. It is because it's taking a hell lot of time to get its story rolling and the season is almost finished. Split cour with so little story development seems weird. The generic fights against some robots isn't helping either to keep interest. Maybe in Japan they don't really care since they have all the LNs avaliable to read. |

| That was a pretty awesome fight! |
 |
| Wait, that voice at the end... It was Ikki and Shizuku father, right? Or maybe I'm just crazy. Anyway, that was a badass fight. It sure suck to lose when you were putting all you got in a fight. But the president never seemed not in control of the situation. I always find it hilarious how Alice ends up in girl shower and girl toilets. I mean, he may be gay, he's nonetheless a dude. Just like I wouldn't want a lesbian going in the same toilet I am going. Would be awkward as fuck. |

 |
| Dat was amazing! Shizuku scored some big points this episode. You can't hate her anymore. Todo is too badass, but Shizuku didn't lose in badassery either. |
 |
| Episode that climax in the clash between Toka and Shizuku, the rest of the narrative is of little importance, if not better define the relationships between Ikki and his sister. Drawings and animations very good, not bad the soundtrack. It's nice the End-card. |

I mean, I guess Rakudai's ratings must be good enough... Aren't they? :( Fai said: Ryuutobi said: Wrong! Asterisk gets 2 seasons in order to avoid bad cliffhanger.

Considering the said show and action in it has been snooze worthy, no real big deal? I definitely agree with you sir. If Gakusen ends this 1st season like it has been so far (mediocre), I don't think I'll be watching the next one so soon... Even if it ends in the middle of the tournament I probably wouldn't give enough f*cks... |

| the fight scene reminds me a lot of the early Naruto fight scenes... which is a good thing ofc. Confucius said: This fight was basically Chidori Nagashi vs Hidden Mist Jutsu. yeah that one.. |
| What an amazing fight. The animation was amazing and beautiful fighting with water and ice. That look in Todo's eyes as she dodged and then closed her eyes for that last iaijutsu was pretty awesome. |
| So his dad is one of those guys who will behave like the worst shitstain possible during the entire fucking show and be forgiven like he did nothing wrong in the end, right? |
| Nice fight scene. Stopped everything I was doing to watch it. |

drkurochan said: I don't see the relation between japan taste for dating games and UBW adaptation (the movie or the series ?) When they've focused so much on Rin's oh so beautiful thighs&boobs and Saber's super cute eating pose in favour of important plotpoints? Try imagine cutting out Ikki's backstory nearly entirely and reduced it to Ikki running in the snow for 5 seconds and no explanations. Those wasted times would be spent on Shizuku taking a bath naked. Oh and make Ikki lose to Swordeater instead because he's cool. and I doubt Rakudai is getting a second season. |
| The fight was so good I fear the next episode will look like shit. It looks like they used all the budget for episode 10. |
| Intense fight. Toka is truly terrifying with her Raikiri and demeanor. Didn't even look like she was going all out against poor Shizuka. Out of all the fights in this series, I have to say this is my favorite one. Dat animation was top-notch. Too bad there are only more 2 episodes left. I wish this had a second season, and not Asterisk. Bleh |

Oh, so you meant they should focus more on Shirou's character development ? I played the VNG 5 or 6 years ago, so I don't remember very well, but I didn't think it was so bad. And, IIRC, Tohsaka wasn't ONLY here for fanservice, though. For Rakudai, I also doubt it will get a second season. The Akatsuki subject was not even introduced. |

It would be a spectacular train wreck, I assure you. Compared to the VN some of the most emotional scenes became absolutely a snoozefest, and Shirou's IQ is less than half of what he is in the VN(Because idiot hero is a trend). Miura also did a terrific job at misinterpreting some of the key themes entirely, because he is just that good. By the way. the author of the novel just stated that he was so glad that Rakudai got animated after watching EP.10:  Silverlink has its faults but I must say EP.10 was quite something. |
