THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This series is now in tailspin-mode. We got yet another episode with more pointless characters introduced, and more lousy direction. This series started out with promising potential but it is rapidly becoming "yet another" mediocre harem comedy.

Same questions as always:
1/ Did I miss an ep or two before this one?
2/ What the hell were they talking about for 20 minutes?
3/ What the hell happened?

I agree with the continuous feeling of confusion and there are only 5 episodes left... there is no way to give this series good closure with all that is still left unclear.

Indeed. WTFx1000.
Honestly, I only continue to watch this every week, just to finish it. I don't care for it anymore. All those random characters. All that unneccesary fanservice.

But yeah, blame the novels. Apparantly they have plot holes exactly like this.

EDIT: One of the things I don't understand, is that their so-called enemies (the random appearance of that trapgirl and whutshisname in the science room) just randomly meet with them, but without a fight or clash. Sure is weird.

I hadn't previously felt this way about the series, but for this episode I was positive I skipped over an episode. I was fully prepared to make a post about how missing an episode didn't really mean much for this series, but my list told I had in fact seen the previous one. It was kind of one of those "Huh." moments.

8 episodes in and this show still doesn't have a driving force behind the plot. Things just kind of happen with no reasoning behind them.

Nia's entrance was cute, but her hair style made me vomit.
On the other hand, I too, feel as if I'm missing something.

well i think "luck-eaters" is a nice character background, one thing i like about asura cryin is its uniqueness. too bad the whole thing is going without direction as mentioned :P

The wtf is what makes this series awesome, you can't say its predictable thats for sure and all the characters have to be introduced anyway e.g. that samurai girl with the long brown hair for one.

People trying to understand this series and then flaming it because they are confused is personally more amusing.

It's not because its unpredictable, its because there is absolutely no logical flow to the plot. Everything is so out there that every episode feels like a stand alone episode. There has yet to be any sort of explanation of why things stand they way they do. Yes, its good for a show to be unpredictable, but if that unpredictability is a result of an illogical flow to the plot, the anime suffers considerably.

so now a genius girl shows up, and tomo is not only supposed to protect her but also takatsuki too at the time, does he have it rough or what?

Oh so random. This show feels so much like To aru Majitsu no Index that it's not really funny. When Tomoharu, Takatsuki and Misao were in the lunch room, I could have sworn we were in the same room that Touma and Index found the invisible/fake girl in. I'm sure it wasn't on purpose, but so many elements of the show are so predictable that the only thing that isn't is the nonsensical (or nonexistent) story. Tomoharu protects girls...I get it. Now let's do something with that.

No you didn't miss an episode

They were talking about a demon hunter who hunt demons and the possibility that it will try to kill Takatsuki, she then ask Tomo to protect her. His brother gave him yet another task to do: to protect Nia.

Sometime I am wondering if some of you are really listening or are forgetting totaly what happened in the earlier episode when you watch a new or are only zapping through it reading half ot the text...

''Omgz they still add character who won't have good,deep background story !!!''
So you where expecting the main character to know everyone right off the start? Sorry but a story where all the cast is shown right off the first quarter or half is what I call ridiculous.

Character relation are quite easy to see imo

This series keeps confused me, so I guess that’s why this series have the second season to order in getting better story. Still, I was entertained to watch this episode despite there’s a new character in it that adds more develop around that character.

hmm...i dont get what you all are so confused about.i actually follow and understand 90% of the anime.at the beginning it was like 'wth?!',but everything got clear now.i think that ep7 was the best so far and the easiest to understand.this episode was not so confusing i think.all thats left is to understand the 'asura cryin' itself. and i think that the story is pretty interesting.this episode didnt have much retrospect too.
