| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mm, Kuroumaru Tokisaka debuts in this show. I kinda expected the meeting to be fanservicy. The fight between Touta and Kuroumaru got more intense than I had thought. Kuromaru is definitel not someone to underestimate given those moves. One thing interesting about Kuroumaru Tokisaka is that the character is genderless but does have a female VA. Well, whatever. Touta would make friends with almost anyone. Still a lot of fan service in this show. I kinda expected it since it's Uq Holder. Yukihime in a towel though. |
 |
| Really nice to follow, the narration was fun and it had that pinch of action that never breaks, greatly satisfied. I wonder if really Kuromaru is a man. Eheheheh! |
 |
| The action scenes are so nice. I like the humor, too. It doesn't take itself too seriously. And I like Touta's optimism. Good episode. 5/5 |
| did he just assume her gender?? awe man, i love Negima! so much, although this doesnt really feel like any of the others XD Plz stay grown Eva, dat body is on point.. and as a Nee-san guy, i love the big sister vibe from her |

| One of the main reasons why I read this manga is because I loved the relationship between Touta and Kuromaru and how fun their whole dynamic was, so to see this episode handle it very well made me smile :'') Good episode yet again this week, the action scenes and gore bits were consistently good and the series is moving at a decent enough pace too and I love the way that they're handling Touta and Yukihime in this anime, the VA's are doing a great job if you ask me Also, I can't wait to see the anime only reactions to the truth about Kuromaru's gender and how that whole thing plays out lol (And I'm loving all the animated fanservice too =P Can't wait for dem Karin scenes most of all xD) |

| Ayy, It's our favorite androgynous character, Kuroumaru! Dat end card |
    |
| So, they skipped the whole story about Touta's dream. I guess that's why he had a vision of Negi to motivate him to get to the top of the tower instead. Fine by me (we'll get to action quicker, I guess), but that makes Touta seem even more stupid than he is. terrablu2003 said: I wonder if really Kuromaru is a man. Eheheheh! EcchiKingMamster said: did he just assume her gender?? Kuromaru's gender is complicated. We have a separate thread for that here, if you don't mind spoilers. |

EcchiKingMamster said: did he just assume her gender?? Kuromaru's gender is complicated.

|
| So... Kuromaru huh. Nice. I like him. The gender thing gets on my nerves though, who cares. If he identifies as a male, then he's a male to me. (And should be to anyone). Anyway it was a pretty chill episode. Even with Kuromaru chopping Tota's head off for a moment lmao. I'm glad they became friends. Also I can't believe I love Yukihime this much and it's barely the second episode. I find her absolutely endearing. In both of her forms. I really want to know more about her. |
| So from the start this anime has has some glares from me. Mainly with its op being way to....haremy for what it is. And the small changes in this episode just make me frown a little more. Because they skipped the mini arc with Shinobu who will now likely just randomly appear at UQ HQ. I am really scared they are doing the same as the Negima anime and making it way more harem bait than it should be. I mean it's kind of a harem manga, but it never felt like a harem manga. So I rather not have it turn into a harem anime rather than adventure/action anime it should be. |
| well nice it so funny... so my curious was ...was he a trap or a girl |
 |
| So far the anime has skipped the Shinobu scenes and parts of the dialogue between Yukihime and Kuromaru. It looks like its gonna be another fucked up series that runs away from the Manga. |
| Also wanted to add that when UQ Holder comes to pick up Yukihime, Karin wasn't with them in the Manga, but she is with them in the Anime. It would be far better if they would stick to how it originally was in the Manga. |
| Show might be skipping but a lot but glad it's still keeping its staple ecchi content. It'd be more bummed out if they removed it. Their clothing has immortality too it seems. |
| Is that Shinobu in a Shonen anime? This just got even more interesting. This seems to be like a Monogatari Shonen anime to me. Less on mystery, more on fighting. Perhaps this will be something to appease my needs for a Monogatari anime, but with more focus on action. :o |
 |
| I’m not buying that he’s a dude tbh I like the little reference to Setsuna. Tota is more immortal than I thought. He was so casual putting his head back on! Dat Yukihime fanservice tho! It’s only the second episode and we have a title drop! |
 |
| Trap or not? we may never know :^) |
nanyatimz said: but plot-armor is already reduce to onsen fanservice. I do not understand what you're saying. Characters in UQ Holder don't have plot armor, they are literally immortal. G_Spark233 said: Tota is more immortal than I thought. He was so casual putting his head back on! At some point in the manga, Yukihime says he is one of the most immortal people around. Otaku4ever10 said: can you tell me if there is anything i must read or see before this anime, i feel like i'm missing something This manga is set in the future of Mahou Sensei Negima manga. Eva was a secondary character there, and MC is a descendant of the main character of that series. In this episode, Evangeline reminiscences of Sakurazaki Setsuna, another Shinmeryuu swordsman from that series, and her best friend Konoka. Shinmeiryuu is a style of supernatural martial arts that was present in Ken Akamatsu's works for a long time. For example, the resident samurai girl in Love Hina was a swordsman of that style too. |
| Oh, Kuroumaru, I really like you~~~! *glomp* I want a Kuroumaru body pillow! I can't wait to see more of him. |

| Is..... is the script writer and Akamatsu eating drug when they wrote the scripts of this episode? I'm okay with the whole Shinoubu's introduce and Touta's dreaming plot being skipped but even the Touta training too??? Did they even realize the new fans might gonna confuse why Touta was so strong and he mention about training when the plots was skipped??? (I know the training is very brief in the chapter 2 of the manga itself but still...) I will be confused it too if I haven't read the manga yet. I'm not sure why they're showing Karin up earlier in this episode when she is suppose to show up in next episode/chapter in the manga but oh well, it's expected that the anime will gonna change some plots with how inaccurate the Negima anime adapted from the manga is. And also it's me or does Haneoka Kei's musics are feel so off and unfitting here compared to his music in Negima series? FiraDeviant said: I am really scared they are doing the same as the Negima anime and making it way more harem bait than it should be. There's already happened since episode 1 lol, in the manga the reason why Touta want go to the tower is because he want to become a singer, in the anime he want go to the tower is due to Negi calling him to do so. And also Negi never appear in the manga except in the flashbacks up until after chapter 65 onward. |

| Wow, i don't know ogura yui could voice cool type voice like Karin. Most of character she voiced always loli type with huffing voice. Was disappointed when first saw the seiyuu list, but it turn out good enough. |
 |
| Another great episode |
| @G_Spark233 there's a reason for him being so immortal, because @flannan @Otaku4ever10 UQ Holder manga still hasn't reached Negima manga's potential yet even, just the Negima manga, it's more than worth it. |

| Pretty nice episode although this trap fanservice stuff is really not to my liking. |
FiraDeviant said: It's a call-back to it's roots, Negima was a series Akamatsu was pigeon-holed into making because of a demand to make another Love Hina, but he evolved into something epic because he wanted a shounen series, and the result was phenomenal. With UQ Holder, he comes again and goes with the grittier shounen approach while keeping the roots in the harem-action series as he excelled at. It's an interesting design choice, because yeah, the UQ isn't very haremy at all.I am really scared they are doing the same as the Negima anime and making it way more harem bait than it should be. I mean it's kind of a harem manga, but it never felt like a harem manga. So I rather not have it turn into a harem anime rather than adventure/action anime it should be. @Zemroid it's not trap it's (quite literally) gender ambiguity. You'll understand later if the anime properly covers it. |

| This time it's Kuroumaru Tokisaka debut! VA Hirose Yuuki suits him perfectly! more characters popping-up! Yukihime already has an immortal organization! nice! 4/5.

| So far, so great... ;) |
Lol why are you delete your previous comment and reposting the same comment again? But still don't too early happy about up until he is showed up and his arc didn't get butchered or censored. |
MahiaErebeaNegi said: But still don't too early happy about up until he is showed up and his arc didn't get butchered or censored. Yes, I know there's a chance that arc in question might not make it to the animated adaptation at all (that's why I said concerning the character in question "the one I'm afraid the anime adpation might cut out")... :( |

Valaskjalf said: Trap or not? we may never know :^) Actually, we do know. Because Kuroumaru stated he was a boy so there is no "trap" because that's the truth! |

| A'right, I'm done quoting assholes now. I'm not too fond of Kuroumaru's VA but at least it's better than Touta's. Not sure how I feel about the anime in general right now but that's probably because I just really like the manga and how I pictured the characters in it. I also just despise the fandom when it comes to Kuroumaru and how everyone thinks they're clever referring to him as a girl or "trap" because he's androgynous-looking. I'm glad Touta is only an ass about it in the beginning because later he doesn't care anymore and is probably the only one that actually respects him. |
kyoudai said: Oh, Kuroumaru, I really like you~~~! *glomp* I want a Kuroumaru body pillow! I can't wait to see more of him. Same! He's adorable and he only gets better. |

| So far so good. Touta voice doesn't bother me like some people. He sounds really optimistic. Let's see how it will be when something bad happens. Shame that some of the events from manga were skipped, but we can always have them show up later as flashback. tsurupettan rorita :D Had to hear it few times, rings funny in my ears. |
Valaskjalf said: Jotakak said: Actually, we do know. Because Kuroumaru stated he was a boy so there is no "trap" because that's the truth! Ever heard of the word "lie" ? I can refer you to a dictionary if you didn't. He's not lying. That's how he identifies. I can refer you to the word 'common sense' and 'respect' if you like. |
Hahaha. You're not alone, Touta. I actually thought Kuroumaru's a girl, too. Jeez. Lmfao. When Touta looked in his pants to see if he's got "willy". I'm dead. Apparently, Kuroumaru is an immortal hunter who hunts immortals like Konoe and Yukihim. When Konoe's head was cut off by Kuroumaru then he just put it back again like what the fuck? Hahaha. Holy shit. Little Yukihime is so cute. Fucking love you, Yukihime, you gorgeous you. "So, you're really a washboard lolita?" fuCKING KONOE. WAAAAAAAH! Now I know the meaning behind the name of UQ Holder. It's the name of the organization Yukihime "founded" for all the immortals. She's that special, huh. Heck, she's gorgeous. Hahaha I need to stop. I really loved this episode. I was laughing throughout especially during the bath scene. Pffft. Yukihime and Konoe's relationship is just ugh hilarious. |
