| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Subs are out. Kokomi is definitely my favorite character in this anime now lol. There's just so much energy coming out of her compared to the other cast. Seems this anime is also developing a bond between her and Yumemi. There's some fan service with the bath scenes but nowhere near what I was expecting from this show. |
 |
| Makoto and Hatena got a lot closer during this episode. So that wand that Makoto always has was an artifact. |
 |
| ok nice show...but a generic medium....hmmm |
 |
| Good development for Makoto and Hatena's relation, I hope it will be even more romantic now, I really like them xD |
 |
| Animation still feels janky and the narrative style feels uneven, but it's not terrible. |
 |
| Oh so those artifact have some prices to be paid when being used....Now Makoto's want Airgetlam has been activated.. Oh so Mariah is Hatena's mom's sister so that means she is Hatena's Aunt well evi Aunt that is and I knew she is a member of some organization that wants to steal something from Hatena's household. |
| Okay, I'm calling it quit now. Adios, smile sticky. |
 |
| After three episodes this is somehow the same kind of generic as plunderer but both are entertaining and have their own charme. It feels like watching a show from 10 years ago and that kind of nostalgic feelings keeps me watching it same as it was with val x love. Trash but lovely trash |
| At least the animation improved a bit, along with some character relations xD. But.. "Smile Stick" really now? lmao |
| I expect his smile stick and her muff to make quite a good pair, just not in the way I was hoping... This show is all over the place, which I don't usually mind, but all that action just came out of nowhere and... I mean I still don't "get" this show. It's supposed to be comedy ecchi romance, but all three of those elements are hugely lacking. Or at least... they just don't fit together. This show feels like it was written and produced by at least three groups of people and then it's all been thrown together. I don't hate it. It has potential to be good still, but I'd be lying if I said I was still watching for anything other than a vague hope for some decent ecchi. The girls all have nice designs, but I've yet to see a decent ecchi that wasn't from at least 5 years ago so I don't have much hope. Like, what was that pathetic bath scene? A loli using an older womans breasts as a pillow in a bath sounds amazing on paper, but he steam hid everything. Seen miles better ecchi in multiple shows that don't even have the tag. |

| finally a nice episode, maybe because we had some action,or maybe because Hatena finally being a little less annoying at the 2nd half lol anyway, wtf is the point of the bear after the ending song? tha thas to be the most random shit ever... |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |

 |
| Nice Hatena and Makoto became closer and Makoto's outfit is kinda cool. Reminds me of a character from a game I used to play. |
 |
| The animation is somehow working with what it has, still images with lip flaps over them, and the VA's are trying thei best too, so it really makes the animation stick out even more. I really miss the direction of the first episode. Now the episodes seem to consist of 85% close-ups of a janky face. And the writing is a time capsule back to 2004, at least for the first half. I genuinely enjoyed the second half, though. |
| It's a shame they blew their load into the opening and ending animation wise because this show is now unwatchable. Like the plot was okay but after he names his wand "Smile Stick" and the fact that Hatena is extremely unlikable...yeah this show is garbage. Which sucks because I like Emi and the sister a lot. |

| Radies and Gentremen this is Märchen Mädchen all over again. Tomohiro Matsu is really unlucky with LNs adaptation after his death. |
 |
| She's now her partner? so the tsun lessened a bit? Suzuki Aina can sing similar like Nana Mizuki she might be also capable of Enka style! she's a good singer huh... 4/5. |
 |
| Hatena is officially the most annoying thing this season for me, typical bitchy tsundere something i always despise.. Well i think i am gonna drop this one, it didn't impress me so far.. |

Well i think i am gonna drop this one, it didn't impress me so far.. But she did change a bit in half of the episode she's starting to be more closer than makoto Nah i know typical tsundere, in other time they'll act normal but in later episodes she will do the same thing again, besides there are enough "misunderstanding" slapping already in this anime.. Well despite of that there are still many other factors that put a reason why i will drop this anime, from bad animation, meh characters, uninteresting story so far, etc.. |
|
| Boring, it was just a generic episode with nothing unexpectable. Also, the animation on this episode was really cheap. |
| yeah this was a hard watch, i'm sorry Matsu yet another person has ruined your work. dropped |

Tomohiro Matsu is really unlucky with LNs adaptation after his death. katsu044 said: yeah this was a hard watch, i'm sorry Matsu yet another person has ruined your work. YES, OMG this is true. Finally someone who knows the tragic sequence of events. Tomohiro Matsu truly is the unlucky Artifact. Just don't like the idea of childhood friends being same-gender, then "OMG, it's another gender!". Koisuru Asteroid had this idea, and now THIS??? It's just become a raunchy side story about leads Kana and Makoto being "partners in crime" more than love interests. NOTHING made sense, and even worse is the subpar animation of a new studio. Tomohiro Matsu himself already made a lecture about the anime industry addressed 10 years ago (https://myanimelist.net/news/10157646), and these problems aren't going away even if there's new people, new studios and such. Already kinda disliked the VA performance, just disappointing. Suzuki Aina as Jashin-chan was appealing, but not as Kana. Same goes to veteran Yoshitsugu Matsuoka's performance here as Makoto, probably one of his worst performances even if Kirito's voice is still hung up in my head. |

| “SAITO! YOU NEED TO EXPLODE! FOR THE WORLD’S SAKE!” |

 |
| Finally They are being partner. |
| Super hard to watch, don't know how I made it to episode 3. This is it for me, imma be dropping because i don't enjoy this show at all. |
| Ah yes smile stick, stick you can use to beat the smiles into people. Pretty wise naming choice of Makoto Not that unexpected with what happened, quite some foreshadowing were thrown in last episode and start of this episode |
 |
| Hatena sucks lmao like I would say it's cause she's just a kid but when everyone else was grouped together, it's always just her overreacting. Naming your artifact smile stick. Bruh Also is everyone's magical girl outfit just lingerie lol |
