WTF, Those commando guys went to all that trouble just to kidnapped Miyabi?

Also, Julie went amuck on that K dude and yet that K dude didn't die?

THIS IS THE MOST STUPIDEST ACTION THAT I'VE EVER WATCHED.

So level 4 is shikai XD - devour them, Ouroboros.
I wonder what level their bankai is? :)

Julie activating a special power, guess when you go berserk the Blaze powers up two levels or something.

I've sat through some bad anime, but I can't sit through this any longer. Too much ecchi fan service and not any story, then it appears that all that fan service is supposed to be part of the plot which causes Miyabi too side with the enemy for power cause of her jealousy? Could have portrayed that with a ton less boobs and more story telling. Instead you just through random ideas around in between boobs here and "how do I look Tooru" there, like we're supposed to know what they are talking about already through those very vague conversations between Lilith and the Headmistress. . What even. And those battles, ugh, why would a bunch of soldiers with guns dog pile on .... forget it, this show is dumb, lol.

The narrative has the great defect of having inconsistencies that lead the viewer to ask many questions, and not even give satisfaction regarding the fighting during the battle.
The plot rather not disappointed me so much, despite not showing anything exceptional, as developments.
The defect that reflected in the figures, is that they pose too cool with speeches, filling up the mouth of beautiful words, and then doing the figures by idiots.
Drawings and animations in the media, catchy soundtrack.
Best character of this episode, it is the teacher psychopath with bunny ears.

Dunno how the source material showed it going down, but in the anime it just seems like Miyabi was "aight gimme that power suit I'll just tag along and not suspect ITS A TRAP"

I'm pretty stoked about what happened this episode.

They actually made it believable for once. When Lilith made the request that Tor and Julie go chase after the principal (who I don't understand why she was so weak as to get taken away by K, isn't the principal suppose to be one of the best Exceptions out there? How else would she control her school?), I was thinking "If they manage to beat K, then I call bullshit. How the hell could two students in training beat that dude when a trained Exception like Lilith was taken down???". I'm glad they showed a realistically believable conclusion to that battle. I'm so glad they didn't pull some "They have some innate potential that will allow them to beat the enemy that NO ONE else could beat" bullshit.

Tor didn't just get rekt, he got utterly humiliated by the K dude. And considering how Julie losing control wasn't enough to bring K down to one knee, I think whilst K was surprised at Julie's hidden power, it really wasn't enough to hurt him all that much anyway. The only reason they could be saved and could keep the promise to Lilith was because K LET them.

Might be a slap in Tor's face, but at least it's realistic. He just needs to train his ass off to power up.

Also, I'm betting he's gonna blame himself next episode that Miyabi got kidnapped. That said, if the Principal had known all along that she wasn't the target, why the hell would she not put more security on protecting the real target? Isn't she suppose to be protecting her students??? And why would Miyabi even follow them in the first place, can she not recognize the people who pointed guns at her in episode 8???

The last scene totally made no sense there...

You pretty much summed up my thoughts.

Note to self: never attack bad guy until he and I have had at least 2 minutes to taunt and explain our dislike for each other.....never just haul off and start wailing on him. Also after getting my butt kicked and the bad guy has his foot planted on my chest killing me, make sure to tell my partner (who has unleashed her true inner purple beast) to "Stop Julie". That way the bad guy lives and can escape or go back to kicking our butts some more.

In this episode, Tor has proven to be utterly useless, Julie goes berserk when the man she loves is Duo'd with gets harmed, and Miyabi is a lost cause, even if Tor manages to save her.

Meanwhile, bunny-sensei can kick some serious ass – more so than before, and either the principal is holding herself back, or her powers aren't so grand as implied.

Bunny-sensei and her Ouroboros are pretty badass.
Hmm, there's some guy in the main campus that's also OP. I wonder who he is though.

Oh, so K has a past. Too bad Julie, who also has past, couldn't defeat him in her rage mode.
I actually like it this way; it makes it more realistic.
Woah, Miyabi's with the enemy? See Tooru, do not reject girls!
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Usa goes all out, that was good. It's like having a prepromoted unit while rest of your party has just faced their first major battle (Guess who's been playing Fire Emblem recently)

The loli principal sure is powerless, getting kidnapped like that. Maybe she is holding back cuz she wants her students to save her (powering up in the process)

Julie berserk mode was cool. Rest was meh. That's why action isn't my preferred genre. Half of it is cliche as hell while 25 percent of it goes to ecchi and fanservice. Then there is 10 percent nakama speeches (makes the action scenes 60 percent actually) and 15 percent comedy (which I tend to like as long as it's not too cliche) Not very satisfying. That's the reason I always end up down rating down almost all of the action shows by the end cuz that's where the so-called 'real' action begins.

bah another bad episode... and I thought it would get better every new ep since ep 7...
they just can't make any good fight scene...
how the hell can this small shield or swords block bullets from automatic rifle and why this soldiers didn't shoot at them all the time? If they would at least animate them blocking bullets while they spin sword very fast, but no.. they just stand still and block every single bullet... rly?

and this escape of captain from own ship... who on earth would do that if he was winning... yeah swimming is faster ;o

The thing with headmaster being taken so easy is lame too... but the only thing I can think of is that she wanted to enter their base and destroy it or spy there and escape.

I find the ED misleading and annoying. Why does they have to make it appear as if the two are like a romantic couple. Well all know that both girls loves Tooru, with Miyabi being open to her feelings for him.

Is the director just trying to fool the audience to increase sales?

Dark Julie pawned that blondie. Too bad it wasn't enough to kill him.

Darn Miyabi, she became a sellout and joined the bad guys. Tachibana's face when she sees Miyabi is going to be tense.

Moon Rabbit Maid went beast mode. About time she got to show off her moves and power.

So this show is stupid because it show some boobs and not for any other reason like general directing, script writing, battle directing, plot development etc?

Miyabi is incredibly fucking stupid. I could give two shits what her reason was. Why would you follow a strange old man with unknown motives, who not only sent a platoon of armed assailants to attack not only your school, but also your peers, and more specifically your friends? For fucks sake! Did any of this start to raise red flags and warning lights?
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Glad to know what drives Julie, the power she showed was pretty good but seems she can't control it properly.

I'm glad that students aren't actually getting killed.. It'd be just dumb, really.. I mean, 1 from 1000 can get powers, and you'll be wasting resources like that just for tasting power of someone?.. How dumber can you be, really?..
I have no idea, what is going on.. Well, we probably will get answers soon..
Nice that Julie told to Tooru about her goal more.. Now, maybe, she trusts him completely.. Now Tooru's turn to do the same, really..
So those people wanted Miyabi?.. Or she is side dish for them?.. Story isn't really revealed.. Well, some conference next episode might give some answers..

- Equipment Smith? Is that a name or a job title?

- While the students are fighting the GI Joes, Lilith sips tea with the student council president and professor bun-bun, what's up with that? The kids need their sniper.

- Nice power-up for Professor Bun-Bun, one of those goofy ass magic swords left over from Bleach and the grand battle is over just like that

- Great battle on the yacht, what's up with Julie? And all of that to collect Miyabi?

- Is that old guy Equipment Smith, or is he THE Equipment Smith?

- The last scene with Thor and Julie is why I think this is the best Harem anime I've seen so far, there's real affection between them

At the beginning, Sarah noted that, despite the students clearly getting gunned down gruesomely left and right, there were still no casualties up to that point. That actually got me to laugh out loud, as that was just ridiculous.

Good episode, Julie has a lot of power in her but I think it is more like rage/anger, she still needs to control it and Miyabi is taking the wrong route to pursue tooru.

Did Sakuya and Lilith's maid just do nothing when K was out to kidnap Sakuya? Surely both of them are powerful themselves.
