| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Idk exactly how strong Chiyori is but she was surprisingly amusing to watch in the latest battle. I see Tama is fighting her but she doesn't seem too happy about it. Ruuko and her despair ;_; I think Chiyori is having a bit way too much fun this episode as well. Those poses... |
 |
| Questions are being answered but it looks like there is a price to pay and i wonder what it was be. Seems to me that Mayu, Ulith and Iona all have an agenda of their own despite the fact that they are working together, or where working together. The question is will they end up fighting each other or not. Seems Ulith and Mayu want to see Ruuko and Iona fight Tama the question is will that actually happen. And i also wonder what will happen to the victor in that case. |
| Chiyori still bothers me just how excited she is to become a LRIG. Something's not right with her. |
  |
| The novel writer freaks me out a little |

| Even as Ulith's LRIG, Tama is just as badass as ever, though she isn't battling at her best form.. Inevitably, Chiyori lost but she isn't worried the slightest. Her carefree and oblivious manner is somewhat annoying. So, the full concept of Selector and LRIG is based on a novel? Or, is the novel being based on it instead? Either ways, Fumio is definitely a Selector and most likely had been a LRIG before. She might even have a direct connection with Mayu. Iona is being ignored most of the time as always. I bet she regrets being Ruko's LRIG now. What did she mean by Hitoe and Yuzuki being unpleasant? Was it their smile that she didn't like or their current mindset in overall? What does Ulith want from Akira again this time? As much of a b!tch she is, I pity Akira for being used as a pawn. Aki-lucky was genuinely epic. *Sigh.. Decent episode. Battle against Fumio next. I hope Ruko can use Iona as effectively as she can. |
 |
| Ulith and her innuendo Iona learns a new word Chiyori's won 3, lost 2 Grandma remains undefeated New character introduced Still. The most underwhelming episode in the series history so far. Hope the show gets its ass into gear within the next 2 eps. |

| Chiyori is literally saving the show right now. Everyone is being so mopey and doing nothing it's annoying. I wish the battles were forced so we wouldn't have to put up with non-cooperative characters. |
| look like chiyori is really not afraid to become a LRIG , she already lost 2 times the new chara look interesting HaXXspetten said: dat Fumio emo hair |

| way too much talking not nearly enough battoru forced drama please stop. |
| Looks like Tama has no battoru spirit, that's no fun. |
| This was probably the slowest episode of the series despite the first half with Tama, since most of the second half was theorizing and looking into Fumio. I did like how Iona put things into perspective with Mayu. We all knew to an extent that Mayu held the control here, but it seems like that'll be the general explanation for the weird inconsistencies we've seen. Definitely looks like we'll learn a lot next episode. Guessing Fumio is an Eternal Girl since she seemingly knows all about Mayu, to the point of obsessing. Not sure where Iona's development is going. She seems to want to get rid of Hitoe/Yuzuki, but that would seem to fit into Ulith/Akira's plans as well. I'm not sure if her and Ulith are exactly cooperative at this point with that look they shared, and I just feel like Iona is going to get developed and end up helping the trio even if it means not having an epic battle. breadloaf said: If the show featured primarily battles, it would be crap. I don't know how you haven't figured out the battles are secondary to the character interactions and ensuing drama in the show. And give me a break with the 'forced drama' bit. I could maybe see that argument holding water in the first three eps of season one, but at this point the show has done enough to build its story and set up very logical drama given its circumstances.way too much talking not nearly enough battoru forced drama please stop. |

| That very beginning part before the OP felt like a mess ._. So that LN was really written by someone who knows about the whole thing, it seems. Well hopefully this Fumio person knows everything so we can get some answers about Selectors, LRIGs, and Mayu. Weird person though, just continuously typing the same words over and over.

| Mayu enjoying the sadness of others and Tama :O Chiyori did put up a fight, she loving cliches ^^ Reading the novel from Chiyori, she was really enjoying herself with all that energy! Emailing and visiting the house of the author! Tama not having fun when she is not with Ru :( |

I know the battles are secondary to the plot but they're avoiding them like they're the goddamn plague. There were a lot of good battles in the first season, and I want to see Iona (best LRIG) in action. And the drama really does feel forced, all Ruuko has been doing this whole season is crying over how Tama is gone and how bad her circumstances are. That being said I do love this show and hopefully it starts going in a better direction. |
| Overall it was decent, but there definitely should be more action. Fumio is actually a boy name in Japanese, and the author looked like a boy with the tie and uniform. The author could be a girl, but he looks like a boy to me. If so, then this is our first male Selector! |

I thought Fumio looked more like a girl actually. o_O I mean the character looks feminine to me but a male selector would be pretty interesting. |

| Wow Wixoss blasting that dubstep in the beginning |
 |
| I was wondering when and how they were going to introduce that new character on a computer in the OP with only 9 episodes left. I suppose this was a pretty clever way to introduce that character, Futase Fumio. Oh, how Ulith (with Iona's human body) calling Iona scum is the best thing happening in this anime. So moe. ^w^ Oh, how Chiyori being meta by calling Ruko and Tama's interaction cliche is the 2nd best thing happening in this anime. I can now fully forgive her for being sometimes annoying (I do like her wanting to be a LRIG and being IDGAF when she's getting stomped in battle (what a nice tsukkomi relationship Chiyori and Eldora have)). I now nominate her for second best girl in this anime, after Urazoe "Ulith" Iona of course. tingy said: What a weird way to say "That part was an awsome montage of (about) .5 second frames being played alongside dubstep."That very beginning part before the OP felt like a mess ._. It's one of the better intros to put before an OP. That music that played when Fumio introduced herself tho. -w- |

| I don't consider myself a good judge. trying not to be an obnoxious otaku |
| Great episode. Lots of new things introduced. About Chiyori: so she has 2 losses, and only 3 wins. I wouldn't be surprised if she lost her third battle (but I still like her LRGI design!). So the girl with the computer is Futase Fumio...makes sense. I was wondering who she was in the OP but I guess now we know! Also, it looks like we have a pretty intense battle in store for next episode! breadloaf said: And the drama really does feel forced, all Ruuko has been doing this whole season is crying over how Tama is gone and how bad her circumstances are. Keep in mind that Ruuko and Tama had become really close friends and battling became fun for both of them because they were able to together. Thus, ever since they have been separated from each other they've been blaming themselves for their separateness. I think Ruuko's emotional outbreak was a combination of the fact that she was so happy to see that Tama was safe (because she just disappeared out of no where), but also with the fact that it's going to be really hard to become united together (Ruuko might have to become an LRIG, Tama's super powerful, etc.). But still, I agree that Ruuko has been really emotional in this series (which I attribute to her separation of Tama), and I can see how you'd perceive the drama as a somewhat forced. |

| so much Chiyori, i love it. she brings so much life into this otherwise quite gloomy series. breathe of fresh air i say. love how she suddenly became a somewhat important character now |
| Although we may have some answers in the next episode, some plot holes may be not answered as well. Like, how dis Hitoe remembered Yuzuki and Ruko. Tama is not enjoying her battoru with Ulith :( Oh well, it seems like Chiyori is underestimating the consequences of winning/losing battles. But Eldora is still there with her. And I'm still thinking that Iona is jealous to Ruko. Not to mention the subtle scene where Yuzuki and Hitoe are cheering Ruko that Tama will be back to her, completely ignoring the fact that she is the current LRIG of Ruko. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| I like Chorizo's cheerful personality. I think it really balances out all the screwed up things that happens in the show. I felt so bad for Iona when Hitoe (or was it Yuzuki) told Ruu that Tama's best when paired with her and how they happily planned to get her back. That was harsh. It was like oi Iona can hear you. They really don't give a damn about her. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Poor Tama, she's living a terrible nightmare. Her battle was very one sided and she was not enjoying it. Tama could have refused to attack if she wanted to, but I'm not sure if the LRIG's are obligated to attack. As for Iona, hopefully she gets to battle soon. That guy at end when Hitoe and Ru entered the room looked a lot like Iona Yuzuki has received a lot of screen time this season. |
 |
| lol akira is so fucked up. makes it so easy for ulith to manipulate her.. chiyori and eldora are so cute and cheerful~ i like it. but they're so weak! or probably ulith and tama were just too strong. |
 |
| The first half could have been shortened. I mean most of the battles could literally be skipped because the drama and the characters are carrying this show right now, and they are doing a great job at that! Part of me thinks Chiyori is annoying, but another part of me likes her, so its kind of hard to explain. But she does bring some interesting aspects to this show. If her wish is to be an LRIG only, maybe she could make the sacrifice that Ruko is having a hard time making. Also I'm going to say the author is a female, but I'm not entirely sure. However, it seems to be a more accurate portrayal of an author. In a dark room, alone, seemingly depressed, possibly with some severe issues. I wonder what they can bring to the series, which has taken a turn for the mysterious in this episode. One thing is certain this show knows how to use cliffhangers! |
| Personally Fumio reminds me a lot of Ulith's former look. Can't help but feel that was her old body. o: |
| and suddenly, dubstep That Fumio person looked surprisingly intriquing :D like the design |
| So boring. I hope futase will entertain me. |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
| So Mayu is a sadistic bitch, Ulith is a sadistic bitch, Iona is STILL the mysterious bitch, only now are our characters catching up to that. Fumio is quite the tidy hikikomori. Chiyori's meta-jabs are welcome, if they weren't for her squeaky as fuck annoying voice that makes me want to punch her in the face.] At least Ruuko's "muh nakama" drama got some sense of closure! But now Ruuko will take ages to battle, along Iona having her own motives and the latter half of her wish(which is for Tama to battle Ruuko and lure in Mayu - Katta! Keikaku doori! ~Iona.). |
 |
| Wow, loved this episode, contrary to most of you, it had some needed theorizing, Tama's battle wasn't half bad, for a second I almost thought there's a male cast in the show, and nonetheless, the atmosphere is as good as ever. Also Chiyori is my fave now, the first squeaking character I've put my volume to the max for, lol. |
  |
| Being Iona is suffering.... >Ulith “doing it” with Tama while Ruuko is watching >Iona calling Tama a cheater who enjoys her new partner, and then declaring that she’s not a slut like Tama and that Ruu will always be the only one for her >both Tama and Ruuko crying in the meantime >This is just like my NTR doujins. Also, if Ulith's wishes got granted, won't Tama be on Iona's body? Maximum mek. Yuzuki and Hitoe god damn it.... At least stop bitching about Iona when she's within earshot... I wonder if Ruu fially realized that Iona is... mmm, uncomfortable? with her friends... |

| Just shoot Ulith and take Tama back. Would be nice to see bright and vivid colors. All the scenes are dark and drab. |
 |
| Couldn't tell whether Fumio-sensei was a guy or girl, apologies. I suppose going with female is most logical though 'cause of the whole Selectors thing. Poor Iona, all she needs is some loving. So third-wheeled. I wonder how the girls will find out how to rescue Tama. |
| I know it somehow understandable, but damn it Yuzuki and Hitoe, can't they at least consider Iona's existence and stop talking about that with Iona around, damn it must be a hard stab to her. Aki-Lovely, suck to be you. XD And Fumio just like someone who has mental problem, i bet she know a lot about this game. I don't know how about you all, but i think Iona not all that bad, Ru can use her until Tama back and fix things up so at least she can tune down her depression a bit, but of course Iona should open herself more, she just hold too much important secret so it dangerous to trust her. |

| With this episode I realised that Chiyori is a good addition to the characters. She provides some necessary comic relief after all those tense moments, and who knows, maybe she will grow up to be one of the best Selectors in the upcoming episodes Iona and Ruuko must learn to cooperate sooner or later |
 |
| Tama's back in the real world. Apparently, she's not enjoying the battles with Ulith. Futase Fumio looks like Iona with different hair style. |
| Creepy beginning lol. xP Umm....whoa...pretty creepy episode. :P But! We get to see Tama~! :D Who.....isn't enjoying her life as a card that much.... Poor cutie.. :( Being the LRIG of the Ulith bitch. >:( Anyways.....so Mayu....White Room......That Fumio chick..... LOL! When they first met her, I literally got chills down my spine when I saw her. D: But.....next episode looks really interesting.... :3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Chiyori is making this show so much more fun. |
| I have no clue where this story is going honestly speaking. |
| Although I'm liking the series so far I can't help being disappointed that Iona has yet to make any progress in changing Ruko. That was one of the main things that got me pulled in this season. |
