THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
If there one thing to say about the episode it is
Kick as sword fighting blow exchange and Shirayuki kissing.

Now that was amazing. This episode far surpassed my enjoyment of action compared to episode 5 TBH. In regards to the kissing it was nice as follows,

because it is underwater and the situation was far more under stress than the Aria one from episode 5. So that by itself is a nice spice up. Not to mention underwater lip locking in the spoiler
and you have a very unique situation that far surpassed the set up of the last kissing situation.

In regards to the fight. OMG and holy shit! It a marvellous sword exchange that is totally mind blowing. I have seen sword exchange and this one makes no mistake it was great. Mind blowing Shirayuki was not only stronger with a flaming powered katana but she freaking broke Durandal's sword as follows,

I could not believe they did the "Japanese blades are better than European blades" gimmick but they did as both persons had equally valued swords of immense strength.

Got to say that Durandal's design and looks in the following spoiler
is perfectly produced. She is really nicely done just liker her manga counter part in the spoiler


The sword face off in the spoiler
was magnificent as both people can be seen and their blades fearsome shapes.

Durandal got owned and arrested.

Hotogi is awesome as both a healer and swordswoman and she had a great battle.

I'm glad Hotogi and Aria made up for the most part even it was short lived.

Kinji jumping into the river at the end was lol as well as the yandere vs tsundere moment that led to it.

5/5

Awsome sword fight!

It was somewhat of a spoiler for who durandal was in the OP.

I kinda wanted to see Kinji catch the sword with two fingers instead of hands though.

Okay, now I have no reason whatsoever to watch this show since gg stopped doing their awesome subs.
Sigh, gg, I am disappoint.

And I didn't expect that shrine maiden to actually be Durandal, that was a pretty nice twist.
The rest of the episode was stupid.

Okay, why the hell did gg stop trolling? Even though that in itself is an elaborate troll. But that's what made this show bearable.
And thanks to my no-drop policy, I can't drop it either. So I'll have to suffer through the rest solely for May'n.
First time gg ever disappoints me. Thanks for screwing it up. Yeah, I mad.

And I facedesk every damn time Kinji does something that ends up saving Aria's life.
Like that piano wire. Would've been an awesome show if Aria's head went flying instead.
...Oh, come on.
And Kinji will catch another cold.

Shirayuki vs Durandal - love it

Teamwork between Kinji, Aria and Shirayuki - love it
Those three make a really good team

Shirayuki and Aria becoming friends, and latter end up fighting as comic relief - love it

Kinji kissing Shirayuki - though i'm not interested in the romance that much, it was hilarious when Kinji use that to enter hysteria mode XD

The fact that the subs weren't yoda version- love it

Good episode, with great fighting and a little comedy at the end.

5 out of 5: Loved it!

Other than that, the episode was OK, the sword fight was good and maybe now Aria and the Yandere chick can be friends or something...

That was fun. While I'm not normally a fan of long-winded pronouncements before (or during) a battle, I find Shirayuki to be irresistible so I won't complain. If only she'd stop saying 'Kin-chan' quite so often.

I'm not sure what words she used in Japanese, but it would have been cooler if Shirayuki had asked Aria if she was planning on stealing a march. But it was still a good moment, especially how Aria's voice tailed off when Shirayuki stood up with her eyes darkened.

But I'm disappointed that they broke the sword. They should have found a different legendary sword if they wanted to break one.

And the intro of durandel finanally seems like the anime will cover slghtly past vol 2 of hte novel though several things bothered me about this episdoe 1 was during hte ntire sword fight shirayuki sword was supposed to be on emitting fire except right before her final attack she was supposed to shealth it then attack in a final burst and abseard was also lacking detail to what it was and how they did that ending cheer rutine pissed me off first off kinji was supposed to be playing a guitar during that part and and it was supposed to be more of a dance rutine from what i read so needless to say that bugged me and there were someother things the bothered me but since i am at work right now i can not go in to detail since i am running late already so please forgive my ragining and spelling/grammer mistakes in this post

Awesome fighting episode. I loved Shirayuki's flames. Her flames just won the whole thing. When he kissed her, I thought oh he's going to give her the air he has through the kiss or something like that and then i realized....oh wait, it's for hysteria mode. Pretty good episode though. I loved it. A lot of fighting. I wished they talked about Aria's mom and what happened to her.

Finally, Durandal is shown. Both her and Shirayuki fighting was awesome with Durandal using ice magic and Shirayuki using fire. Last episode Kinji and Shirayuki almost kissed but it redeemed itself kissing underwater to activate Hysteria mode. Now Both Aria and her are now equal and end up in a hilarious situation forcing Kinji to jump on the water again.

Durandal's armor nearly resembles Saber from fate/stay night. Ironically, the both share the same seiyuu.

Oh, you mean that wasn't Shirayuki? Thanks for the heads up, Kinji.
"Don't look at me. My true form is scary lolz." Yes, turning into a badass is quite frightening. At least Horo's true form could actually be considered scary.
Fucking Kinji caught the sword with his hands. Excusing that, he still managed to hold onto it. Durandal totally could have swiped it again right out of his hands.
Three on one victory! Woohoo!

I was far more impressed that after cutting Durandal up her flame went up to the ceiling in the spoiler
that was rather crazy at how much over power it may have.

Good fight with Durandal and Shirayuki, or should I say Himiko? Kisu scene, didn't care about it because Aria and green sniper are best.

The hell was that at the end, though? Shirayuki says they're even, and snaps trying to cut Aria down. Shouldn't she be happy? Or is a murderous rampage how yandere profess their satisfaction? Going to be happy in the next episode when the best character returns. (tl note: best = riko)

I believe her murderous is intent is how they show their satsfaction indeed it's kind of obvious when you see Shirayuki one moment being happy about getting the card and the next being all yandere in the spoiler
kind of sudden mood change. So it's no surprise Aria got the rest of it by being picked on.

Obvious I knew from the spoiler
it was Riko indeed no one can make a mistake about it. I stopped hating her but still cannot seem to bring myself to like her but once I see what did change me from the LN then I may like her for sure.

About preview, in other news the preview is very exciting. We shall have
Riko getting ecchi with Kinji to the point of being alone in room and opening her legs? Oh my that's daring. Shirayuki sadly shall get traumatized in the rain and get sad under it, which should prove some good drama or could be comedy. However she redeems herself With a very nice infirmary scene whom Kinji gets her skirt and has his arm attached with a chain. I wonder how raunchy will it get? If it's censored this will be a nice part to see on BDs. I think I may like most of all Aria's part in the spoiler
whom she gets all cuddly around Kinji.

Going to be a hell of a fanservice episode, it sounds like. And I'm going to love every minute of it and every bit of Riko seducing Ryuji... err Kinji.

Fight scene was nice but I hated the dialogue pacing. There were just too many weird stops and random conversations while it was supposed to be an epic buildup into the fight scene. I thought it was cheesy too, especially the parts where Kinji is basically saying "I'll always be there for you guys through thick and thin. Nothing can change that blah blah blah". I also didn't like how they introduced all of these powers all of a sudden.

Durandul looked hot in armor. Kind of looks like a silver haired version of Sabre from fate/stay night. I laughed so fucking hard when her sword broke from Shirayukis attack though. It got sliced in half! I can tell from Durandul's face she was screaming "FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU" in her head. On a side note, I love her voice!

I also love Shirayuki's voice when she's fighting. She has like three different tones in which we all get to see in one episode: moe, serious-ish, tsundere. I was so damn happy.

I love how Kinji can just bail outta his apartment and jump in water when trouble arises. It's hilarious.

Woah. Lupin at the end? Freaky smile.

And so we wait for the next episode..

Sure the source is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidan_no_Aria
and OMG Holy Shit, the seiyuu is her:
http://myanimelist.net/people/13/Ayako_Kawasumi
same as the voice of Saber so it's no surprise it was EPIC. Durandal will be missed, I did hear she may come back in the future since Riko will do that then IMO so shall Durandal and indeed Kinji's harem may grow.

Ok, so that last yandere look Shirayuki made at the end kinda made up for the fail pick lock scene (you always need a tension wrench) , i guess they got lazy -.-
Also, I like Aria's initiative to build Kinji a Harem, reminds me a little to Momo, but much more annoying. I guess the glass-sniper-girls come next?

One of the best episodes yet. Nice action, romance and comedy. Good thing Durandal got arrested. Hopefully Aria's mother will go free now. Shirayuki was also much stronger than I had predicted. I loved her flaming sword. And indeed, now they're even! xD

This show just screams, wasted potential.
Some fun little fighting but is hard to enjoy with such horrible direction and plot revelation. So many stupid events that is ridiculous. A mediocre anime in all it's glory.

And wth was with with that don't look at me staff and then just put a little fire on the sword? I had my "that was it?" face at that moment.

So what are we to expect next? The descendant of Napoleon or Jack the Reaper maybe even a Nazi?

Watch out. If you believe everything in the preview, you might be disappointed later.
I'm not talking about fanservice though. From the looks of it, you'll be serviced a lot.

She would be in the Kinji's "outer harem". And her sword will be a new one forged with the old material.
