Hmm, I actually like this new OP song slightly better than the first...

Seems the episode takes place after 4 months since that crazy incident. More crazy things have been happening around Kanto and I feel like the episode is setting up for more storytelling for rest of the season.

My theory stands correct most likely, according to japanese legend Tagitsu-hime(Yukari) is part of a group consist of 3 “Hime”/goddesses. And in the op song Yukari standing in middle of a few scene is actually depicted like a goddess, together with other 2 entities beside her. Secondly what seem to be another faction with the 2 corrupted school headmistress. Seems like a possible multiple opponents in this second half of the series.

Looks like things aren't over yet and trouble is still brewing around which isn't very surprising seeing what happened.
The question is now what will happen to the girls seeing they are well known things will be harder on them.

As a parting gift the prince caused the number of aradama to increase huh. Though it was cool seeing Kanami and Sayaka swoop in like that. Hmm i like the new opening its pretty catchy. There's bound to be questions about the sword administration in light of the events i guess. Hiyori's journey was hard but at least it wasn't alone. Seems that even with the new rule over the administration the origami family is still trying to cling to power. Not surprising that Sayaka's former master is one of the enemies. An interesting episode that showed how things have changed between the girls and the administration.

Well it's new arc time and even four months later the cleanup from the Yukari incident isn't done. More aradama popping up everywhere and now this mysterious hooded toji collecting noro. Meanwhile we briefly check in with the girls, meet some new ones too. At least I think they were new I dunno, maybe they briefly popped up early on in the series or something I can't remember. Well I guess we gotta start slow if we're setting up new enemies. Kinda annoyed that insane lady in red somehow wasn't arrested apparently. Hopefully as the preview seems to indicate we'll focus more on best-girl Mai next week, maybe even meet her family.

And so begins the second half of the series. Some new mysterious enemies on the OP & ED as well as this hooded Toji whose identity is still unknown. Two of the Elite Guard are still here and I wonder where Maki is. She can't be the hooded Toji. Seeing the Elite Guards reminded me of Yume. I won't be seeing her anymore in this new arc. I'm really going to miss her. *sigh* :(

The new OP is decent. Some new characters are introduced. Four months has passed and things are not over yet now that a hooded Toji is attacking other Toji and collecting noro, that is interesting. Kaoru was amusing.

Maki might have gone rogue, hiyori wavering in her mission and the noro gets better perfected by the yukari remnants.

Nice new opening for the 2nd half of this show.

By the looks of it there are multiple Toji being possessed by Aradama, could be former elite guard members.

Also looks like this new girl Ayumu could have a decent role to play, she really looks up to Kanami.

Oh no it's Yukina again, looks like she up to no good as usual.

Yeah I didn't think Hiyori would be retired for long, even if she didn't come back now she probably would have gotten dragged into all of this at some point anyway.

Pretty good start to this new arc of the anime.

Four months after the last battle, the main characters have kept themselves busy cleaning up Princess Tagitsu's mess. After Tagitsu retreated to the netherworld, I'm left wondering what happened to Yukari. Did she die or was she freed from Tagitsu's control? And who is the hooded figure collecting noro? It could be Maki, it could be the new girl Ayumu, or someone else entirely. The series has plenty of episodes to answer those questions, so I'm looking forward to see what happens.

Looks like the series finally found a fitting opening and ending, I am liking those already. First ones were kinda super generic.

It seems that the hooded Toji is not Maki as Kaoru suggested actually, she saw everything Tagitsu did after all. Maybe it's zombie possessed Yume?

Also what the fuck, Yukina is up to no good again. Yomi should just turn on her already for good lol.

Sadly, it can't be Yume, Maki wanted to do something when they saw her dead but the other elite guard suggested to take care of the body instead and Maki goes for Yukari so yeah, not possible, unless Yume the prodigy that she is managed to do something herself, or the aradama in her took advantage of that. Ofc without the other elite guard knowing it, coz we dunno how she "took care" of Yume's body after Maki left

Wow nevee thought Hiyori wanted to stop. I've just done redrawing her a few days ago!

Anyway, at least the second cour is up and running! Waited quite a bit.

I also want to put a guess but I think it is Yume who is under the hood. Its likely to be Yomi too.

As an extra, has Suzuka somehow became a good character? I took a liking to her now.

Ok, I liked both op and ed and I was kinda worried that we were having a sloppy start because the first plot point already ended but we had a nice start for this second half. I feel bad for Sayaka, everything that Yukina told her will probably haunt her because of Kanami skills :c.

It was weird seeing Hiyori with normal clothes, still the same color scheme XD, but she looked nice :3. Also, Idk why but I see Ellens gramps as a pervert somehow XD. Poor Kaoru, feels overused by her president, probably because she's the lazy one XD.

New girl also fell for Kanami (kinda), and Mai will be back with Sayaka and Kanami, I hope she cheers Sayaka up :c. That last president is now helping Yukina ugh, can't stand that woman and she looked really nice when she was younger...

I don't really think is Maki nor the new girl, at least not the hooded girl who's been stealing the noro, I do think this new girl will be the little hooded one but I might be wrong, she idolizes Kanami and wants to be as strong as her so goes with whoever the first Toji is and she does help her become better (probably with noro); but that's just what I think, we'll have to wait to see what really happens and who's the hooded girl.

That's not likely, both of her moms died young because they used up too much spiritual energy, they weren't possesed by aradamas so they are just dead, and you can confirm that with Kanamis dreams she has trainig with her mom, that's most likely her spirit (or a part at least) which stayed on Chidori.

I thnk the Hiyori drama about whether she will give up or continue as a Toji is unecessary, but ok.

I bet the new girl will probably be deceiverd and used by the new "bad guys" for a briefly moment at some point of the story in the future and them comeback to reality and help the girls, the flag in the opening for that is huge.

Sayaka probably just need a hug once in a while to remember she is a person and not a thing.

This actually looks a lot like Kanami goes evil to me (not the girl with mask). According to the OP and the 13th episode.

According to OP: There's this moment in the OP where the new girl has a reflection of Kanami in her eyes, and then there's the black evil thingy separating them. After which the new evil boss appears. Next there's Kanami all red, standing in the mist with a saddish expression.
The new evil boss has the same kind of ribbon as Kanami does (though on both sides).

According to ep13: Kanami keeps getting isolated because of her overly high skill, having no one who could match her and she could compete against, and is falling into depression.
On the other hand, Yukina and Ayanokouji's chairman are continuing to create "ultimate toji" or "uberhumans". I think it makes a lot of sense for them to target Kanami to inject her with the new noro drug as Kanami made her name for being extremely powerful. Ref to OP: possibly Kanami protects the new girl, and instead gets caught and subjected to norofication.
The fact that Sana doesn't get Kanami to help might be part of the setting as not to let Kanami know too much before she gets targeted.

Big part of the cour might be the group of friends chasing after Kanami to bring her back. Who'd make a better villain than Kanami, strongest among toji's out there at the time being.

Interesting theory, I actually was just theorizing about that but mine's quite different, I noticed it from the fact that Kanami actually just mimic her mom, it wasn't that Minato posessed her in the fight against Origami, it's actually just Kanami not remembering it, that reveal made me realize that possibility

I’m wishing this series was split into 2 seasons. I enjoyed the first 12 episodes especially where there was a definitive conclusion. However I’m not sure I can get revved up for another 12 episodes. I really would have liked to take a break and say I completed it and go back to a S2. Right now if I decide to stop it’ll be a “drop” if I stop. I hope something happens that’ll make it worth while.
