Heh, at least Akira is intutitive enough to figure out what goes wrong in big fights like this.

This almost feels like a video game boss for the war maidens where everyone has to work together to win. The bath scenes were cringy as hell.

Takuma was kinda cool with Ichika, she's definitely my favourite character from this show.
And yeah the naked kiss scene in the bath was so cringe lol

Yeah, the bath and the kiss scene was cringe.

At least Takuma got some power up.

Its nice that we finally get to see Futaba get some expansion as well as a focus. Still given the enemies strength a surprise assault was the most logical method. Its interesting in that despite her impressive strength that due to the amount of souls ather she has thats she's actually the weakest of the sisters. Still not giving into despair and training hard to overcome your weaknesses and becoming stronger in another way sure earned Futaba a worthy title. The enemies counter plan though sure proved to be quite the cunning one. The norn are far more cunning than predicted. Still it provided the prefect opportunity that allowed Takuma to win Ichika over. The result though sure was cool as it finally gave Takuma a new power that he can use to protect those he cherishes the most. Overall a solid ep that while doing well in setting the stage for the endgame also did well to expand upon Futaba by revealing her own struggles. Now that both the norn and Takuma have gained more power it'll be interesting to see how the fight will go.

It would have been much better if this would be a hentai thing between Takuma and Futaba.

I think this episode was actually alright. Maybe it would have been better to start off with awakened powers because the build up took forever (and I am pretty sure we won't see a next season..).

Val × Love reaches the endgame with yet another stupid and pointless episode. The bad animation and the non-existent stakes make it really hard for me to enjoy the battle, not to mention the fanservice was cringeworthy and not titillating at all. That said, I did appreciate this episode's attempts to give Takuma and Ichika some semblance of pathos. I mean, it failed but it did try. Takuma is still a beta male while Ichika still doesn't like Takuma at all. The only thing they have in common is wanting to protect the rest of the Valkyries. Don't get me wrong, this episode was bad, just not as bad as it could have been. Watching Val × Love is like watching a trainwreck, you shouldn't watch but you simply can't turn away. For a litany of reasons, this anime shouldn't exist but somehow it does. Fortunately, it will come to an end soon and we won't have to worry about it ever again.

The Saotome Valkryie sisters are on the pursuit of the demons, while Takuma is STILL that unripen seed waiting to be awakened. Like, the show is already at the endgame, why bother trying...but Takuma eventually did summon.

Finally, the weakling Majesty Futuba got her own exposition. Another scene I wished already existed in the manga, exists in the hentai world. But above it all, while Takuma cannot make it up for his strength, the ability of the Einherjer/Mistiltein within him holds the key to finishing this battle. And let the "rape" commence to gain strength the faster way, all but a breakthrough for Ichika to finally accept him.

One more episode...just ready to pound whatever this show has left to wing.

Takuma finally manned up and did some good shit for once. Ichika and Futaba was adorable. This was probably best episode so far.

I honestly found this one of the better episodes, not just because of the Futaba x Takuma scene ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) but because they actually showed Takuma using his intelligence to figure out a trap the enemy set up...and also best girl Ichika getting some action ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Holy shit, Shino is hella hot, god damn.

I'm not sure, but I think Takuma never had a date with the very loli one, the small one with pig tails.
