Well, it looks like Arata survived that. No surprise there.

We meet Yui this episode in the Dream World. Looks pretty there. Then again, Arata gets a real nice eye treat with the girls being stripped and all. Damn lights. Wait for BDS. Well, the girls looked cute this chapter in their swimsuits. Arata's having too much fun this episode.

It was good. Didn't like that they adapted the first half of chapter 6 before chapter 5. Kinda killed the suspense the cliffhanger it left.

To dispel magic and destroy all clothes o.o

Yui only meeting people in the dream world! Also with one of the Trinity Seven disappearing before Arata came.

Those imaginations xD Arata does really enjoy himself especially around Lilith!

Arata able to use other people's magic! Mira being the only one that doesn't seem to like Arata.

Not exactly sure what is his archive is though.

it was a good episode, but what was the point of having them at the beach BEFORE showing that he had even survived the attack? felt like they had really screwed up the order of it.

Dat Lilith Body tho :3

I thought Yui will have a more cutesy genki voice but I like this one too. She really looks like Mirajaine from FT.

Loved the OST used when Arata was making the gun. Really nice.

I have read the manga for a while so i knew what to expect my only complaint however is that horrible background music, it somehow gets on my nerves.
And it's finally here the stripping magic tho personally i think it could have used some more fan service, and as usually the censors where in the way again.
Then again it was also censored in the manga so i can live with it.

We are getting some good explanation which is unusual for an anime adaption and i think it's a huge plus especially for the anime only watchers.
Since they know what's going on now.

So we got a beach episode tease, i was like wtf when i started watching the episode but it was just trinity seven messing with us, it shows that the show does care about it's plot.

Another magic that destroys clothes, like in DxD, I wonder when One Piece will have that.
Anyways, it was a funny episode, The hability to copy others magic is very interesting.

So a power to destroy other magic AND copy it at will, seems a bit overpowered if used properly...which I doubt our dear MC is gonna do XD

Oh well, lot more comedy and lot less "serious" parts, that's a big plus in my book. This show is quite fun but serious parts are underwhelming, and come on, who can take a show seriously after pee jokes and magic that destroys clothes :)

Looking forward to seeing how much he can abuse his overpowered abilities for wrong purposes :D

The most interesting part of this episode was Arata meeting Yui... I getting fed up with these bathing suit filler like episodes.

it is pretty cool that he can copy and use the magic of others, though he has no idea of what he is doing.. or rephrased, he is not doing anything, the grimoire is, he is just lucky to be the master of it.

This is really similar to Highschool DxD. The guy can remove girls clothing too by a certain power? LOL.

Agree completely.

And just like I feared, the manga's pace just doesn't translate well in animated form - it just feels too disjunct. It was fine the first two episodes but the pace in this one was all over the place, splicing in the beach intro made it worse.

3/5

While I am enjoying this anime, I got really screwed up by the start of this episode. I mean, ending episode 2 on a cliffhanger, then not showing the continuation straight away? Though it probably worked better than showing Arata's magic, then suddenly the headmaster says "Let's go to an island!"...

Also, am I the only one who cringed when Arata said "Yui"? *not a fan of SAO*

Well we can't complain that it is straying too far from the manga, since just about everything we saw here (or didn't quite see) is pretty much directly taken from there. It's nice to see a harem mc who is fully aware of the girls' interest and doesn't shy away from it. It's almost impossible to choose a best girl as well, since most of them have really attractive personality features in one way or another.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Really enjoyed. I already read the manga, the adaptation seems good in my part.

But i don't understand why control is the opposite from justice. Found it a bit sad.

Can't wait till next episodes, they will only get better i bet!

I think in the manga his was supposed to be rule. Just like how its "demon lord" in the anime and "magic king" in the manga. I guess those tiny differences don't matter much though.

Ah, a beach start to this episode...

Arin blushed :3

LOL, so Arata's into harems eh XD.

Dem eyes doe... really weird eyes...

Hmmm, so Arata chose his thema from the Super Archive - Impel - Control thema.

Arata's magus mode looked really nice and LOL, making magic disappear made the clothes of the girls disappear as well as his XD.

Her swimsuit was sent to the Heavens T.T

Dat imagination doe...

Arata can use the magic of other mages eh... now that's really cool to be honest.

So he can undress people, that sounds about right for this anime. But he also has the power to replicate other people's magic, so basically the OP protagonist

His ability is like a mash up of Issei's Dress Break and Touma's Imagine Breaker. Well thankfully I wasn't expecting anything from this show anymore. At the very least it's more enjoyable than Mahou Sensou, cause there's boobs.

And oh yea, obligatory beach+hotspring episode.

"Burn my desires! Dress break!" oh wait this is not DxD. The series seems ok, but it's nothing special so far. Even the so called "OP" power of the MC seems kind of boring. Well whatever, the show has just begun.

And Lilith is the best girl in the anime, she's cute, with a good personality and great style

While the intro to the episode sure felt off, the rest was enjoyable like the previous episodes.

Levi is hands down the best girl. She's rad, she's a ninja, she got the best one-liners of the show so far... I'm afraid I'm falling for her, you guys.

Pretty enjoyable episode. I'd prefer if they toned down the fanservice a bit, and show more majic stuff, but i can't complain. Damn, Arata is impure in every possible way. He also seems to be very powerful, wonder what he's like when he reaches his full potential.

4/5. I wonder if Mira will treat him badly throughout the whole anime..

Well, this episode is more of a cross between an informative episode and an eroge episode with Arata x Lilith streaming in the air. I Like it how Arata finally discovers his own thema (I honestly thought he'd choose the avartia archive for his pervertedness) and discovers more about his own magic. I also did like the typical yet always interesting hot spring scene found in many harems.

However, the skip felt from the breakdown to the beach scene felt too quick and the fact that Yui intervened felt too "deus ex machina." However, what I really disliked is the fact that they try to shift from kawaii to hentai to serious at times. A bit too much here.

4/5. Quite average, hoping for some development in plot since this episode felt too filler aside from the thema discovery.

Felt like I'm watching HSDXD again, because of the fanservice and the dress break that Arata did. Arata's personality felt the same, even though he is different then Issei.

IDK, I felt Lilith's voice felt off on some scenes, especially calling Arata's name. I mean I liked the voice actor and the character, but I felt her voice just felt off for some reason.

Aside from that, good episode, but the story needs to pick it up I guess.

A better EP than the two before.. They didn't miss anything in this one besides Lilith and her long dialogue explaining her magic in the mixed-bath scene.. The pacing is still a bit fast but it's good nonetheless..
