THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A certain magical catfight


and the second childhood friend arrives.

"Fang" Lin Yin or something like that...."Fang" which is ironical, cause every time she opens her mouth, you can see her "fang"

Jailbait sad?


Ichika (hopped I spelled him right), as always can't even break an argument two girls start...man this guy is turning out to be a pussy



But he'll hopefully redeem himself later.

The Plot Thickens


Finally what fight would be complete, without some gundam reference?


Overall, buéno episode! X3

Edit: While I see you manage to amuse many with your screenshots, please don't let it get out of hand, as we don't really approve of image-dumping.

That was a good Ep but I wanna watch sub my Japanese is only so-so
I picked up on the plot at least.
Looks like Cecilia is pretty aggresive trying to get Ichika but she's no match for Lin who trys to move in with him and kick Houki out.
Fave part was when Houki says she'll kill him if he doesn't win in class matches.
Anime, Food and Sleep Who needs anything more!

As much I loved the intro of Fang Lin Yin the name of her IS reminded me of a Gundam from Wing Gundam. The fan service keeps getting good here and there but this episode's main goodies were Houki with Cecillia fighting over. There is also at the end the IS of Fang in the spoiler
what's interesting about it are its lasers and big Chinese saber (I think it would be Chinese.) that glows. Anyways Fang Lin Yin is cute in the spoiler
and is my favorite girl of the show! :D

In regards to other things in the episode, a rather nice view of Cecillia IS was nice to see it in better glory. The transformation sequence for Cecillia into her IS was nicely ecchi and interesting enough it can be summoned through a earing while Ichika's is through a bracelet. Nice fan service of Cecillia. Hilarious part where Houki and Cecillia argue over Ichika although Cecillia was the first one to push out Houki and run towards Ichika, he really won her over.
Humorous enough to mention at how Houki barged in between Cecillia and Ichika during the group picture taking. Guess it is shown rather well despite being cliche that Ichika can't take the heat from hearing Houki undress and change. Interesting enough there is object censoring in this series, too bad but it just means more reason for a BD re-watch. Looks like the situation is getting awkward between Houki and Ichika as they are going to sleep. I liked the flashback of when Ichika has a IS react to him, what's interesting about it is that it shows 3 females being witnesses of that event.

Fang was also interesting in that she wanted to live with Ichika in the same room and of how quickly she summoned partially her IS's arm. Rather nice to have seen Houki's IS. Always good to have a second childhood friend for guaranteed conflict between them. Houki was rather shown extremely jealous of not only Cecillia but also of Fang. Anyways good episode again and it was fun.

A marvelous show of how your skills are master like. Nice doing all these it was quite fun, especially the Cecillia VS Houki one. ROFL! I do agree the Gundam reference is nice and I even mentioned something reminding of Gundam but a specific series, so anyone has a particular Gundam series they remind themselves of? So far I am just hearing Wing Gundam rings.

Now, first of all, I'm very much annoyed at the food they have at the academy. If only all schools and academies served the same kind of food. D:
And secondly, Ichika just dropped a few levels of awesome. I thought he seemed kinda cool in the beginning, but it turns out he was just a regular, generic harem male lead after all.
Also, so far, Rin > Houki > some random no-names >Cecilia.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

Why can't they just fly off in their IS towards some restaurant? I am sure they could manage it somehow.

Man this guy's harem is just rapidly growing. If this is a 24 episode series then perhaps they can have a girl per episode but if it's only 12... then I'd rather they start some semblance of plot but I doubt that's going to happen.

inorite. I thought he'd be a pretty cool dude but I guess not. We need a harem lead like Rance. He'd totally pwn everyone.

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

Bah... It was a meh episode. Seems like this anime is losing momentum, at least for me.

But at least one thing is good for me...

CECILIA IS NOT A TSUNDERE!

YES! This means I can love her as much as I want without feeling bad about it! Meaning if she was a tsundere, I'd pretty much be feeling tsundere for her as well. >_>

Rin is such a tiny cutie. Love how all the other girls are jealous and are spying on the whole situation. =P

Really nice to see the way it turned out with his entrance exam. All of this happened because he got lost on his way there! Lucky bastard! Three girls in a catfight over him and of course he's too clueless to notice. Figures. >.<

Wait for it... wait for it... ah, there it is! What would a grade school childhood friend be without a "remember our promise?". -_-
Of course he doesn't understand it, he's a clueless harem lead after all. Now both girls hate him for it! xD

What's with the cliffhanger? We all know he's gonna lose anyway!

Nice episode though. =P

I can't even count how many facepalms I did in this episode because of Cecilia.
I headdesk-ed once, when the Ichika-butt appeared.

Lin Yin is a nice character. Genki tsundere mysterious girl? LIKE.
She's been conquered but according to the ED, not yet...
Hoping for great battle scenes next episode.

Pssh, you clearly don't know awesome fanservice when you see it. Nothing is better then the Masou Shoujo Ayumu in Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka! Nothing I tell you!

As for this... I'm going to be annoyed in Fan wins, we need our male lead to at least get some form of victory under his belt. And I must admit, I really don't care for Fan very much, something about her just rubs me the wrong way.

Anyways, hoping for more awesome fight scenes next week!

So Cecilia already crazy about our hero. How could it be otherwise.
There was another girl (Cuuute), Ichika probably promised that he would marry her... It's all a little weak.

Hmmm I was wondering when that happens.

Strange that they are so late.

I am even more annoyed with the male lead as i was last week how can he be so incredibly stupid.
His lack of intelligence and common knowledge is just frustrating to watch.
He really deserved that slap from Rin and i feel sorry for that girl that she had to fall for such a guy, he doesn't even understand such a easy hint.

This episode was fine tho.
I liked watching Cecilia and Houki fighting with each other, tho the change in Cecilia is a bit to much.
Letting the male lead become class representative wasn't a good move fro Cecilia and i am surprised there aren't more people objecting to it, his lack of knowledge could become a real problem in such a position.

The new girl seemed interesting, tho a bit of a show off.
And i wonder what the fight will look like next week i hope she beats some sense into the male lead so he finally starts using his brain.

Houki looked great in that without her tail, and in her training outfit.

It was an ok episode, not exactly what I was waiting for but it was not bad either. At least Cecilia got off her high pedestal, I did not like her attitude in the first episode. I'm still not sure on my feelings about this turning into a harem, especially with this guy that is totally dense.

It is already a harem. I think this is a textbook example of the harem, a silly boy and a group (full school) of girls. Most likely at the end of the series he realizes... something like "Wait, you're like me? why did not you tell?"

Another Childhood friend appears. As far as it is atm, it's going further into the harem genre, with a small amount of mecha.

I think the show will be shifting every episode from mecha to harem then back to mecha and so on.

I was really surprised that Cecilia suddenly changed her personality. >.<

Rin is really likeable but still something's lacking. :/

Her IS really reminded me of Gurren from CG due to the colors.

Also, the girls are getting hotter. :D

I hope the next mecha fight is going to be good.

People keep complaining about how dense Ichika is...thats the only way that this Harem will work. Otherwise we will get another School Days moment where he realizes the girls like him, and becomes a man whore. Ichika is not a pushover, he's just naive...but can you blame him?

He's surrounded by a whole school of girls ready to fuck him, and the main girls who truly love him would NEVER let him sleep at night if he chose one of the others. Jealousy is a bitch, and it can kill you( ain't that right makoto)

One really nice plot device would be if we found out he really does know the girls like him, but chooses to act dense to keep himself out of trouble.

This looks like a rehash of all the cliches from a harem anime.

...and the reviews on this were so harsh lol but I do know where they are coming from. Still couldn't get used to the type of mecha in this anime (seriously, they should have made it a full body mech) and the main character is another meh but I'm still gonna watch this for the battles.
