So we learn a bit more about Kyoutarou and past again. Heh, kinda figured.

Some odd misunderstandings aside, this episode was silly tbh. I mean, a machine gun? LOL.

The shepherds being able to see the infinite futures and the past of everybody and guide the remarkable people of the world.

Giza being a gentlemen xD Really reminded me of Ichiya! That voice! "Don't cry baby"

Seeing Nagi and Kyoutariou doing their job to save Ureshino from an accident. "I am going to take a shot at you heart" LOL, *swoon* to freezing cold xD That metal door is dangerous :O

The library allowing the club to stay. The student council wanting to stop the happy project :/

So the role of the shepherds, at least as seen in this episode, would make a pretty decent anthology-esque show by itself. I mean they're pretty much like the MC from Quantum Leap. :D

The show is definitely starting to suffer from "Who is the female lead?" disease. If it's supposed to be Shirasaki they haven't done a good job getting that across lately. Kodachi feels much more like the female lead.

Trouble from the student council incoming?

Looks like somebody is having feelings for Kyoutarou.

Nagi wants to be a Shepherd, man, looks like a job for nerds who get bullied during their childhood days.

Now I've seen the great Library and found out what kind of role the shepherds to. Nice. :D

"I'm gonna take a shot at your heaaaarrrt~!" Ahahahaha!! xD Good job, Kakei-kun! That was a totally embarrassing act but you managed to save Ureshino-san. xDD Hahaha, my sides....

Someone from the Student Council really wants to crush the Library Club, huh..?

So red hair wants Kakei to get a girlfriend so he's longer eligible to be a Shepard, but interrupts him and purple hair when they get close together... Why does she not want him to pass? Are 2 more shepherds out of the question?

Well this anime has turned out to be quite a surprise. I thought it would be another stupid anime with boring everything. It's quite nice I must say.

At last they properly explained what the job of these shepherd guys is.

Kakei is a fun guy. The way he dealt with the maido-san situation was funny.

Enjoyable episode overall.

I did not expect the magic library thing! This series just took a step in the direction I like!
Good going writers!

I like the struggle with Kodachi, but I really don't want her to be the main love interest in the end.

Looking very much forward to seeing where they'll be taking this!
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

I think this was the best episode so far i found it a lot more appealing and the comedy was better then the previous episodes.
It also contained more information about what's going in and what a Shepard is supposed the be.
My guess is that the last option to become one is the opposite of what Nagi was thinking, and the last thing they need is a loved one which is probably the reason why Nagi and Kakei got teamed up.

Hmm... I think if the whole series had began with an episode like this, and had just gone ahead from it with sideplots from the previous episodes we've seen, the whole anime would actually be high-quality stuff. Right now it isn't, because it plays the same plot stuff every other series does; but every even-a-bit-know-how viewer sees that, I hope...

Supernatural aspect confirmed with the teleportation ability every Shepherds have. Tag needs to be added.

Current Shepherd gives a brief rundown of what the magic library is all about. It's pretty cool that the Shepherds can read people's book of past and future and help them out occasionally from stumbling upon troubles, but it also sounds kinda boring..

Kakei was subtly smooth with how he got his hands on his own book from Nagi. Saying that he could see her pantsu was just a clever way to startle her. XD

I found Nagi's frustration of Kakei gradually becoming a proper Shepherd pretty funny. Lol'd at her kicking that empty can and getting hit back by it after it bounced. XD
Giza was probably trying to be smooth like Kakei but failed almost instantly. You got a long way to go, chubby neko. Nice try though.

Does Miyu also like Kakei secretly? Why's she so concerned about Senri anyways?

Damnit, Nagi! This girl is suck a cockblock. >.< She could've just done her job without taking Kakei away from Senri.
All the girls' reactions after hearing the news was hilarious! Poor Ikkei though.. No girl would ever pay any attention to him ever. I feel bad for him just as I did for Iwaizumi from Rail Wars!

Did Kakei really stop the time? Damn, he's already becoming quite a strong Shepherd!
Sayumi shooting at him after that embarrassing moment was pretty funny. I wished she'd known that Kakei actually saved her big time..

Poor Tsugumi.. Waited all this time for Kakei just to eat that special cookie together for a romantic development chance and he ate it even before she was finished talking. XD
Well, Nagi cheered her up with the news of the club being officially approved by the general library.

Good episode. I don't like the vibes Aoi is giving off. Why does she intend to crush the Library club? O.o

Everybody loves the male MC. Dont know why. I can understand why the twintail red-hair chick would be in love. But the other chicks are just there for the harem.

And poor side male character. We all know how you feel.

And I actually prefer her to be the main love interest. Liking her personality with all the teasing and mild tsundere-ishness. Also, she's stacked.

If the male MC does pick a chick at the end, I hope its either Kodachi or the ponytail chick.

I kinda like the concept of the Shepherds and now this anime has caught my attention. What I don't really like is the sudden shift between serious scenes and funny gags. I also think the other "main" characters could use some more spotlight if they are considered main.

The lack of sentence for Tsugumi finally hurts, since all of the heroines route are progressed...
but as far as the OP tells me: this is still a Tsugumi route, I don't think it will go anywhere

Kodachi sure is competitive in this episode. Hope we're going to see some backstory of her. That flashback of her at the park made me curious of her past and she seems to know Kakei in the past.

Was finally revealed who are the Shepherds and what is their job
Kyoutarou did a great job saving the girl, laughed a lot with this part
He already unlocked the route of several girls, he will choose one or will turn a shepherd?

I really like the ED song, for me is one of the best of the season ..

Library of Prayers eh...

I think Tamamo had a naughty though XD.

It was rather interesting to learn what the shepherds do and how the library came to exist.

No girlfriend and no best friend... so sad T.T

So if he dates someone he can't be a candidate anymore... loool...

Kodachi owned herself and got emotional support from Giza XD.

Senri on the offensive until Kodachi came.

SWOON!!!! Priceless and epic at the same time...

Kakei just KO-ed the soul out of Shirasaki T.T

Perhaps she believes that it's a life that he doesn't deserve, and doesn't want him to be in that life for his sake?

That school should be shut down, it's really dangerous, like really. Doors that cause permanent injuries?

I'm really interested in Misono's story there. I hope they get to it soon, problems are piling up there.

Nice to see another side of Kakei there, kinda tired of seeing his emo attitude.

It's official, Ureshino is my fav character. I rofl!

Okay, I'm starting to see where this is going. So to me it looks like this can go three ways. One, which is probably the least likely, he forsakes any friendships, relationships, etc to be a Shepard. Two, which is what I'm expecting to happen, he decides he'd rather form solid friendships/relationships with the library club members as well as possibly a loving one and turns down being a Shepard. Or three, which I'm hoping is what happens, he surpasses all previous Shepards and becomes the kind that is an even better Shepard because of his bonds and compassion to people. Thus answering his doubt/questions about if he should open himself up to others or stay introverted/emo. And discovering in the process that the forming of bonds/trusting people was the answer to his woes the whole time.

I definitely like the direction this is taking. I also like that they continue to bring up other plot threads. i.e. Senri's clash with the sideburns chick and the Student Council chick's vendetta towards the Library Club. It looks like these will be two "issues" Kakei will have to fix.

I'm still shipping Kakei x Kana!
