----------------------------------------
Had to face palm myself several times this episode mostly during the sparring. Then, there's Elena's debut and her rivalry with the others, in particular against Shizuno.

>Date
Lol, she's so direct. And wtf, a cat maid outfit...

I don't think I'll ever get used to the way Elena's hair-eye is drawn. Looks like it's floating.:D She seemed nice and cute enough, though still the enemy ultimately. Lotta boob fanservice this week and humor, plus a WacDonald's trip!:D

I was been shaking my head and can't stop smirking (Can't laugh hard since it's midnight).
Until Shizuno and Elena's Battle. So Elena was forced/controlled to kill people because her brother was held hostage?
Well All I can say that this was the best Comedy part (so far) of this Anime. But still need more fight scenes with Moroha being Flaga!
I can't wait again for the next episode next week!

Well that was random. Elena just appeared from nowhere. Some awkward character movement effects. The date was so funny XD That moment when she grabbed Moroha's dick XD I was surprised at how good that russian was. I could actually understand what they were saying. The fight was pretty cool. Elena's strong.

This episode had me laughing so much courtesy of Elena's blind obedience of her 'reputable source' XD and her antics throughout the episode.

What's up with her eye? I know in anime they have glasses that float in mid air and hair that somehow covers the eyes but leaves the outline leaving a hair coloured eyeball but I don't think they were supposed to have an eyeball inserted into her hair rather than her skull thing going on but whatever.

That mock fight where she gets trapped by wires then proceeds to rip her own clothes off as she walks towards him. Why do the girls ALWAYS blame the boys for things which are clearly accidental or not the boy's fault. Her clothes getting torn off was clearly her fault.
Where do the president and vice president come from at just the right moments?

That fight at the end though. Am I the only one wondering why she would use ice attacks on a Russian? Still it was a good fight, brief but good.

Wh-whoa! Who voices raven guy? I mean, Elena is voiced by an actual Russian (only for her Russian speech, sadly), but Condrat spoke with accent, so I guess it was a Japanese voice actor. But it was a bloody perfect Russian.
Also, with this, Cinderella Girls and Durarara you might start learning Russian in this anime season XD

Shizuno is still the best girl but i like that Russian girl.
I wonder what we will be able to expect from her in the future and what she will contribute to the anime.

Moroha seems to trusting towards new characters, even if they might be after him.

Great episode, another girl appears in the harem of Moroha, Elena is very beautiful but from the beginning it was clear that she thought only of attack Moroha

Shizuno quickly discovered and has been confront her, I'm enjoying more and more of her personality, now is already openly declaring that likes Moroha, she is best girl

I think I can already predict how the fight will be of Moroha against Elena next episode ..

Anyone with common sense could see that elena is just trying to force the "Love" out by doing very Cliché things she read on a Weird site. Might be news to her but people don't just instant love you because you do such things :>

Tanned girls are awsome <3 So fanservice with Tanned girl is even more awsome :D
I watched so many Ecchi animes and at some point.. i would really like an explonation on why they always slap the guy even if they are the one walking in on the guy in the bathroom or something acidentally happens that makes the guy see them in a ecchi situation.

In the end when she said he would still like her even if she had a scar it felt like elena got really confused and she's only seeing the world very black and white

That eye, what the actual fuck. Please stop that.
Kind of boring, not that much buildup to the (relatively predictable) wavering in Elena's supposedly iron-clad heart and it isn't believable whatsoever, though at least they gave her a believable reason to obey the Lightning Empress's orders, even if it wasn't fully explained. I did appreciate how Satsuki falls for her toneless declarations of "love" every single time though, that was snicker-worthy.

The next episode should be interesting with how Shizuno and Satsuki handle this. Moroha will simply remember how to beat the shit out of her, but they don't have that MC privilege. Might be interesting to see how they form a tag-team since it appears that Elena absorbs any black magic that Shizuno can cast as long as her sword intercepts it first.
Unfortunately, this episode as a whole just doesn't pass muster for me, with that goddamn eye being a significant part of it.

A quick search suggests that the studio may be trying to do too much, and Diomedea likely doesn't have the resources for all the shows they're putting out. They're therefore putting their main effort into the bigger series and letting "lesser" ones like this fall by the wayside.

As such, production delays are probably forcing them to cut corners. If they didn't have the budget, they shouldn't have tried to pull off those scenes in the first place. So it's much more likely that limited production resources left them unable to complete the episodes on time as they'd originally intended, and they opted for obvious shortcuts in order to make their deadlines.
If that's it, the problem could theoretically correct itself in an episode or two if they brought in outside help, but a more likely scenario is they never get caught up, and we suffer this through the entire remainder of the series, possibly even getting worse.


As for the rest of the ep:
Characters were more fun than usual, with even Satsuki being bearable while getting played, which is why it's such a shame the production is going to hell in a hand basket.
And with the new girl being second only to Shizuno, this seems like Russia's season. So many shows where some of the best characters are Russians, and so much actual Russian getting spoken. The Russian in me is smiling.

FINALLY! A character that I like in the Russian Man-eater Elena "Lesha" Arshavina. I love her character design. I love her antics. Most important she is going to be trouble of course since she is from the Russian Branch. We had a decent battle preview of her too. This is where i don't like what I saw because i think the perceived, neglecting of attacks that her sword has seems very cop-out.

Pretty sure the BD release is gonna fix the animation problems. And speaking of animation problems, did you mean the instant changing in a character's posture without the motion? Cause that was my only problem. Aside from that, it's good.(Well, at least better than having eyes that don't match sizes.)

That mock battle was cringe worthy. A sword to the boobs doesn't to any damage to the clothes, and yet walking into a bunch of silk strands just rips them apart? Unless it was an issue about the Sophie losing her concentration, I don't see why her clothes would rip in the later scene but receive absolutely no damage in the former. I literally mouthed "Oh, my god why is this stupid filler scene even in here." when she said it.

Elena reminds me of Tobiichi Origami (ala Date A Live). Same lack of apparent emotions, same single-mindedness, though Tobiichi probably had way more reputable sources for er... "Man-eating". I really like deadpan characters like this, just having her here dilutes and balances out the crazy antics that some characters are portraying, and make even characters like Satsuki and Kanzaki somewhat bearable to watch.

Love the cliche backstory of how Elena is fighting so hard to "see her brother again".
Given what she was optimistically stating about how her brother is "Always by her side", I sort of get the feeling that her brother isn't actually on the mortal plain, if you know what I mean, and some sort of higher sorcery is required just for her to come into contact with him. Hope I'm wrong though, because it would be a really sad situation otherwise.

Doubt Shizuno will back away from Moroha. The waify is fearless when it comes to her man.

Also, props to the Russian conversation, it sounded way more natural than when the Seiyuu are forced to speak Eng-rish,

By the way, did anyone notice that Haruka suddenly got bumped up into Main Chara status?

It's weird. They made Elena's eye look super fucking weird, and some of the animation this episode was even more deplorable than episode 1, yet at the same time this was easily one of my favorite episode.

We have best girl Shizuno now competing with new girl for Elena for best "plot". Which I have no complaints about; they both have great fucking tits.

Elena had some great moments in there. Especially with the cat ears/tail acting clumsy and such.

Then the sparring with Sophie. That whole scene was completely pointless, but I enjoyed every second of it. Sophie tit deflection, Sophie saying stupid phrases, and then Sophie 100% full nude and getting groped by Kanzaki.

The fight with Shizuno vs Elena had pretty awful animation, but they managed to upgrade Shizuno's badass level quite a bit. Her ice spells were stronger and she had a sick dragon. Really the only reason Elena didn't get shit on was because of her OP sword....which also looks insanely fucking cool. Way cooler than Moroha's Saratiga.
