Heh, I wasn't expecting them to actually insert the opening song into mid-episode.

Tension really built up this episode though and I guess desperate time means desperate measures. Saotome Natsuki ain't messing around this time. That kiss though.

Fine episode, the part with kid Takuma and his mother was actually touching.
Natsuki seemed to happy to dance with him, but the naked deep kiss scene was a bit cringe to be honest.

Despite his carefree nature the villain sure had quite the amount of cunning within him. Takuma's newfound determination though sure is a welcome change. Ichika's intro though sure was impressive. The enemy's parasitic type ability though sure introduced an interesting angle to the battle though. Natsuki's new transform though sure was impressive as her fight against the new akuma. Overall a solid ep that proved to be much stronger than last ep due to both Takuma's power up and his awakening of his determination to help his friends. At the same time its also nice to see Natsuki not only gain more power but also start to break out of the shell that she hides behind. Looks like the villains are starting to get more powerful as well though.

Very nice deep kiss, if it had more saliva strands it would've been close to Kiss x Sis.

+1 for actually going through with the kissing scene rather than finding some lame way to not have it

tfw almost an entire episode was devoted to a make-out session but I ain't complaining

That first deep kiss kinda felt weird but the second time they kissed before the dance was sweet. Also they are still not showing the elder sister's face.

Ok so we got takuma and natsuki getting naked and wiping each other clean....WTF don't ya think that getting a quick show would have been much easier , than just wiping each other clean with wet wipes ..............

Maybe they should've made this a hentai when there is a takuma and Natsuki making love in it.

yea but it's pretty asinine to call it borderline hentai lmao. They barely even showed past the collarbone area

I could understand if the kissing scene was done very lewdly, but that was pretty tame tbh

A shame that the kiss looked pretty bad.

I'm just glad they didn't just show blinding white light in the kiss scene (unlike Azur Lane) and used more natural methods of censoring. I also love the look in Natsuki's eyes when she's nervous. I'm really looking forward to the next episode based on what I read in the manga.

Val × Love reaches the halfway mark with yet another pathetic and lousy excuse for an episode. Takuma continues his journey to become the ultimate beta male while Natsuki gets another power-up. You know that old saying: once you hit rock bottom, the only way to go from there is up? Well, this show continues to reach new and abysmal lows with each passing episode. The best thing Val × Love can accomplish at this point is being bad in a fun way, but there are time where it just settles with being just bad. The only reason I'll watch this show from now on is to make fun of it.

Have I just gotten too old for ecchi? Or has ecchi gotten worse over the years? Fuck man, some of my favourite anime were to love-ru and highschool dxd. Fucking rosario + vampire was literally my first anime and I thought it was fucking ground breaking at the time.

Or is this just a shit anime? Why aren't there any good ecchi anymore? Is it because it's not selling well in Japan or something? Have idols replaced it or some shit? What the fuck happened?

I can't even remember the last ecchi that came out that was any good and I watch like 15-20 anime per season which is a feat considering I work 50 hours a week.

Domestic na kanojo was like the last anime that even had a hint of nudity that I remember being good and that wasn't even ecchi. Was it highschool DXD season 4? It wasn't as good as the first couple but at least it was watchable and interesting.

That aside, why do all these great animation ecchi need to have such shit fucking storylines? This one is literally unwatchable.

I'm rarely critical of anime. Unless we're talking about a Kenja no Mago or some shit. I don't even understand why they bothered with this one.

That's how bad it is? Oh ho, another case on-point to one-up this horrid show. The only way is up? More like down all the way to hell.

In any other case, this episode just drives home the fact that this is a hentai first and a show second, in concrete affirmation.

I did not think they'll try to repeat the OP mid-episode, but...that's a thing...? That's just simply unheard of, unless it adds something, and in this case, it drops the bomb even further.

The stuff between Natsuki and Takuma just irks me even further...plus that deep kiss, I've seen hentai that's better (IN EVERY WAY) in regards to this, plus the manga being more exploitable.

At this point, this show is becoming more of a joke than anything. Laughing to the point where I can't take this seriously as a rushed passion project, but one that's more of fapping to.

If Saturday nights are gonna be filled with this nonsense of a show, @HeroVladimir93 let's have fun roasting this show to pieces.

The fanservice in this series is very disappointing so far. It's a complete downgrade from what I've seen in the manga. If it can't even excel in the main focus of the series then I don't see a point in continuing. Strike the blood has a similar concept and it just does it a hundred times better. The fanservice is at least done really well. Also, that kiss scene was pretty awfully animated. I've seen hentai with better animation. What the hell was that.

Pretty touching scene there with Takuma and his mom

In my opinion the naked kiss scene was a little bit too much, there wasn't really that much development from previous episodes that they should have gotten naked by this point to get a lot more intimate
