| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Looks like they're going to cover volume 6 from the LN. That means...MIKU. It's funny how she has the name of a fictional singer. Anyways, I'm not too sure about her voice. I mean, I think it matches but it might take me a little time to get used to. But yeah, I'm curious to see how this arc will go. Hopefully it won't be too rushed. Shidou was kinda silly this episode tbh. On the other hand, Miku's quite intimidating. Can't wait to see her powers soon. |
 |
| So a new character in a new arc. She has a great singing voice, but somewhat scary when using her power. Welp it's time for Shido to seal her. Oh man, it's a trap! Well, IDK Shido looks cute..... Wait what the hell am I saying... Miku is onto Shido for some reason when he visited her school and having a long chat. Some growing tension on the AST headquarters. So far for the light novel, I think they will cover volumes 6 and 7, so I might expect some rushing consistency in here. |
| Wow, that was REALLY rushed. Miku sounds okay, I was curious about that. Looks like next week will continue on quite well. But man, rushed is almost an understatement for that episode. |

I just hope they don't rush even more parts with Considering how popular she is in Japan I think it's safe to say that they will do a fine job with her scenes. |
| I know Miku has the biggest measurement of all the DAL spirits but damn, them Mikus are BIG. I was prepared for her voice when I listened to her small part in the Ars Install PV but it's still irritating in the ears. Chihara Minori is a fantastic VA and all but this is not one of her best roles. The fact that it carries over to the songs is kinda disappointing as well as I was looking forward to Miku singing. Shiori best girl. Decent enough voice acting as well. Kinda weird to listen to a "girl" that uses 'ore'. And talk about a rush job. Covered half of volume 6 and probably gonna wrap it up by next episode by the looks of the preview. And no twins in sight like they didn't even exist. They couldn't even utilize the 10 episode that was given to them. Damn it all. Goodbye season 3. At least we're gonna get volume 7 an episode earlier. Good news for Nightmare fans I guess. A small positive thing amidst this rushed episode. |
 |
| Not bad, but quite rushed -.- Used to it by now though XD Miku's voice wasn't what I was expecting at all. It wasn't that bad. But it was too cutesy. I liked her singing more than her usual voice though XD Shiori was nice to see ^^ Nothing much to say. |
 |
| I missed the Yamai twins, they're fun to watch. |
| Diva you say? More like Divahkiin. I had to make that joke :D |

| Shido cross dressing as a girl lol. That spirit is pretty interesting. |
 |
| New Spirit introduced; "Diva", aka Izayoi Miku. A mysterious idol. Her singing is beautiful! Though, her attitude towards Shido is not so due to her extreme distaste of men.. Shido finally gets along with Miku as Shiori. But soon to be having disputes among each other.. However, Miku throws in a deal for him. Meanwhile, AST plans to capture Shido and Tohka. Average episode. A lot of plot point were missing from the LN. |
 |
| Pretty okay episode. I'm guessing because I haven't gotten to this part of the novel yet it didn't feel really that rushed to me. Must say though things did happen did get intense quickly. I like Miku. She is way different than the other spirits. Must say I like how they switching things up and breaking the whole kiss and seal format. |
 |
| Man this episode got me like O_O. Then when the cross dressing came in. OMG! Then a contest against Miku, dang. This is going to be interesting. |
| Who the fuck are you Shido, Battler? Ahah, I knew she was a lesbian. Best episode ever. |
 |
| Meh errbody knows we're all here for Kurumi, bring her out already. |
 |
| Not familiar with the LN version(although I'll probably read it in the future) so I can't say how rushed this was in comparison. Miku's...frankly, kind of a bitch. Her voice didn't really kill my eardrums but I wasn't expecting it to be so cutesy. Kinda understandable though, since she's an idol. Also, the plot thickens at AST HQ. New leader comes off as a bloodthirsty bitch. I was not pleased; I thought Origami and her rabid Spirit hatred was bad. However, I was surprised at Kyouko's rather justified resistance to the DEM's plans to grab Tohka and Shido...in the middle of a crowded festival. I'm not really enjoying S2 as much as I did S1, for some reason. I expect it to pick up a little before this season is over. The hints of the underlying plot, however, are pretty nice. |

| Lol, Shiori. I want Kurumi already ;-; Guess I'll have to wait till ep 7 or 8. AST plans on capturing Shido and Tohka :o |
 |
| Chihara Minori's singing voice is good. Her talking voice though... I'm not familiar with her voice variations, but the other one is probably for tougher character. Did I miss the "maji hiku wa~" this episode or the glasses girl really don't get a line this week ? |

| I don't like how they rushed things :P Though I'm glad to see Shido as a girl :D I hope the next episode won't be as rushed as this one. |
 |
| Wow....Miku is a bitch -__- . I just want to see Kurumi all ready damn it !!!!! This episode was not really good, 6/10, really hope we get something better next week. |

 |
| First off, two things. I've not read the LNs, so my opinions are of the anime only. Second, I have no idea why everyone is in such a rush to get to Kurumi. Didn't think she was anything special character wise, she's powerful and she's evil. That's about it. Ok, moving on. I found the pace of this episode to be extremely well done, things happened and there the usual gags. Not a lot of fanservice, which made room for the plot. I like it, very nicely played episode. Miku... Oh, Miku, why you have to be such a crazy bitch? Isn't it enough that we have to deal with THE crazy bitch in another episode or two? Her voice was nice, she sings well and sounds very cutesy, but her personality could use some work. Overall, another solid episode. Good season so far, tho I think season one was better. Gonna give this episode a 8/10 |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| oh Shiori-chan is looking good there! Kotori imouto mode finally made an appearance too <3 and where's Kaguya and Yuzuru? they disappeared? da hell? Shouldn't them move into the Itsuka's residence as well? :3 |
| Are they even allowed to name her Miku or is it just a pun? Wouldn't vocaloid fans be raging about this? |
| As of 27/7/14 I have decided trap anime Sword Art Online II has more appeal than Mahouka. |
| Sigh. Some people are so impatient to see Kurumi. Why not make your own anime and make her appear in every episode then? Hahaha! Anyway, I finally see Shiori in full color and alive her. Definitely cute, Miku does seem bitch it didn't get to me. For sure we'll get to know why in the later episodes. |
bunny_lover said: Every successful harem male lead has to cross-dress someday. If only to capture even more harem slav-er... I mean members! Miku was an absolute Yuri machine. I would have wanted to see Shido actually hypnotized by her and doing her bidding. That would have made a great great scene XD They brought back the dating selection bubbles this time around! Woohoo! Always a joy to see what sort of sick choices they come up with for their dating sims, and which choices are actually popular with the crew. What I don't get is why Tohka, in her limited seconds of screen time, will only grab Shido when Onigami is around. It's like the rest of the time she just doesn't care who Shido is with, regardless of it being male or female. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Shido's more feminine than the actual girls of the show. |
| Wow this episode was really rushed. Too bad all the parts with the Yamai twins have been cut, cuz I wanted to see them at school. At least we get to see Shido 'transform' to Shiori and Miku of course. Hopefully they do not rush the 2nd half of volume 6 too much next ep. Overall, ep gets 4/5. |

 |
| Finally got past those boring twins. This ep was the best one so far this season, if only because we got back to the meets a spirit, has a date with her formula, which is the only thing that made season 1 enjoyable. The yuri twist was fun too, even if this Miku girl's voice is really irritating. |
| Holy crap! Shido... er.. Shiori looks so damn fine. Hahaha. Miku is a tough nut to crack. Can't wait to see what Shido would do now to seal her powers. |

| Shidou in a trap mode. How cute he is :v When Miku was introduced, I was like "Woah wait, where's Yoshino?" She's intimidating though I kinda like her. Welp, people are still complaining when will Kurumi appear again. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Miku the new yuri lover. Woohoo. Yuri. ^^ That aside, it was kind of a really rushed episode. So I think i'll just give it a 4/5. |

I hope they explain why she hates men, oh and I can't to see her reaction after she finds out about Shido :3 For his sake I hope its after he seals her. |
| Why are anime lesbians always man haters? |

| That's one obnoxious spirit.. Don't like her that much. Even Shido (girl version) is prettier. LOL!! No more Yamai twins? |

Onbuu said: Diva you say? More like Divahkiin. I had to make that joke :D I blew more air out of my nose than usual So we got a bit of Yoshino yay but the twins were no where to be seen Wonder how Miku will react she inevitably kisses Shido and finds out he is a boy XD |
| Diva what a b1tch, f*ck her personality. |
 |
| I was so bored by this season but we get to see a awesome yuri bitch Spirit. I want her to meet Kotori!! 3/5 |

| Spotlight goes to Miku! I think she's the last spirit to be shown this season. So she hates guys. Shidou even has to crossdress to meet her. Tough luck Shidou. :) Shidou is a cute crossdresser though. |
