| Fantastic episode, so much better than Asterisk. Actually fairly rare for me to get so upset at an anime, I really want Kihara to die. |
 |
| You think about it, it is hard to have a unique villain on the get-go good villains are long-term and we haven't even scratched the surface. |
| Amazing Epd! I hope the show continues this way. |

| After watching this episode : Matsuoka, I like you know. Forget his role as typical Gary Stu or Hero. After the fact that you voiced a woman in the last season Working!!! and now voicing an asshole is just very entertaining. |
skudoops said: You can see on the episode itself. As Nagi explained he is under a lot of stress even if he himself didn't realize it deep down. After all it's his first official match and the last chance that he can prove himself. Moreover his opponent is also someone who have bad history with him adding another pressure plus Stella who unknowingly add the pressure by placing high expectation of him.Also does anyone know exactly why he didn't go steroid mode from the beginning and reduce his vision to increase his hearing or something? Was it because of the wipe out he gets after? Seems a bit silly for him to hold that back even with the wipe out. I know he was planning on just defending a bit until he analyzed the other dude's fighting style but even when he did, he had to know that he needed to use the power up to beat him. I mean from the minute he got hit with the first invisible arrow he should have used it. I guess I can say that the dude was likely panicking but it seems weird to forget he can use that, even if he's under duress. |

From where I live, people actually have this thing called conscience and people who openly bully someone would be looked down upon. I won't deny that there are exceptions but majority of it are just subtle laughter. Hey, I shouldn't be saying this about myself but I went to high school, college and university of the elites. We went through sleepless nights to win science competitions, took bone crushing tackles in spots events but that was pretty much it. There were a few wanna be Draco Malfoys but no magic users obviously. And probably that's why we inherited conscience and heart to respect competitors. There you go. An ideal scenario of real world. Apparently I am from the same place as Yhneiil in that respect. If anything, that crowd was from medieval age and only possible in anime. At least Asterisk touches that aspect a bit and says how ridiculous the system was — allowing students to fight that pleases the masses. |

Hell, students at my highschool were nearly that bad and we didn't have battle-royales to spice it up... A person is good. A person can be intelligent, compassionate, and generous. People are fucking horrible, reactionary, unempathic monsters. Just ask any Jew that lived through World War II. |

| I read the manga chapter of this which contains more info like the kimono girl in the anime looked like normal while in the manga he wonders how she got suddenly close. Oh and in the manga the enemy is like hiding in a separate dimension while invisible which looked cool because when Ikki slashed him, cracks appeared then the enemy showed as if he just cut between dimensions. skudoops said: Also does anyone know exactly why he didn't go steroid mode from the beginning and reduce his vision to increase his hearing or something?. Did we watch the same episode? Stella discussed that with the other two. |

| So, I was spoiled the happenings from almost day one on these forums, so I wish I could say I was surprised, but I wasn't. Still, that scene was great. I really am loving this show more and more each time. Kinda wish it had a second cour, but it still could I suppose. Now I just wish I could go back 4 weeks and not look at the forums so I could be actually surprised... |

| Nice to see a main lead that finally confess early in the show instead of until last moments. And the girl accept too. There has been lots of generic setting anime with main lead going to special combat school lately like Absolute Duo, Seiken no World Break, and they didn't sell well. Maybe, just maybe, Rakudai will do better in terms of sales compare to it's other cousin. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Excellent episode, this plot is truly amazing, damn, the scene where Stella screams and encourages Ikki during the battle was more exciting than I thought it would be in the adaptation, really a great scene, and in the end a love confession and a promise, of now on is even more exciting, I'm really looking forward to continue watching this anime which in my opinion is among the best of the season .. |
  |
| This adaptation is better than UBW. There I said it. I wonder how will they animate Ittou Rasetsu and Raikiri. eso18 said: The episode was so good that I even ignored the loli teacher appearance and the fact that the story's general plot is bad. (bad = so many times repeated that even in this season we have three animes in total that are about the same thing) I believe the word you're looking for is "setting". |
| I'm glad this isn't an anime where the love for the main characters doesn't end up blossoming at the last minute of the series. Happened sooner than I thought and at the weirdest timing. |
| Wow, Ikki vs Kirihara fight was way better than I've expected, it was exciting, this anime is indeed better than its twin Asterisk. And it's a good thing Ikki already confessed to Stella even if this is only at 4th episode, I don't need more harem |
 (っ◔◡◔)っ 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓪 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓯𝓾𝓵 𝓭𝓪𝔂 ♥ |
| so the anime adaptation intends to give the sister away to the other guy who is her roommate... seems legit, cause the manga adaptation has a harem tag and this adaption hasn't got 1 on it's tags... cool episode though... |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| Wellp, there's that confession everyone was waiting for. Ikki fucked that kids shit up. Wondering if he showed him mercy at the end, or he genuinely missed and was trying to kill him, lol Yandere sister got shoved into the friendzone. OhhPlease said: The ship has finally sailed! Although I still would have liked to see Ikki and Alice together, they would have been cute. Oh well can't have everything. Wait...what? Fucking what? No! Oh god no. |
Jonesy974 said: Ikki fucked that kids shit up. Wondering if he showed him mercy at the end, or he genuinely missed and was trying to kill him, lol He knew the the opponent would lose his will to fight after reading him thoroughly and thought it wasn't necessary to cut him. However he was off by a centimeter and grazed his nose. --- Oh and about the crowd thing, Just go to any local fight game tourneys. Particularly smash tourneys. Not that I'm trying to defend this light novel series, honestly it is full of problems, but this isn't one of them. |
DeadZeroSource said: cause the manga adaptation has a harem tag and this adaption hasn't got 1 on it's tags... Really? Then perhaps it's wrongly tagged? Going by the end of the first two volumes, it didn't seem like a harem at all. I mean Ikki doesn't show the slightest of interest in any other girls (for example, like the guy in your signature pic *Raku*). Who would tbh when they have someone like Stella? At least the manga version of Stella is at least 10 times better than the anime version of Stella. The Stella of the manga neither slaps Ikki on the bath she entered by herself nor does she throw stuff at him just because he saw her drooling. |

| Although the characters are generally one dimensional, the cast interactions are better than I expected. The battle was pretty entertaining too. I see why the source fans hyped this episode. |
| Stella... <3 Need bds.. XD |

GradationAir said: This adaptation is better than UBW. There I said it. not hard to do an adaptation better than ubw especially with Oonuma Shin as director instead of Miura Its kind of funny that I was thinking for last two episodes on how ufo would have done those two action sequences. This episode's for example would be: - Alice's advice and introspection into Ikki would be removed in favor of anime original scene of Stella walking through the school to the match with no narration. - 2 minutes of Ikki staring at the wall. No flashbacks to previous encounters, no narration. There would be a fly on the wall as Ufo's "good enough" to represent tension. - During the fight we would have no idealogue(or commentary by others), Stella then shout some insult, Ikki would scream and would suddenly own the enemy in 2 seconds of bright explosion. The whole encounter would last 1 minute of course. - The episode would end with Stella and Ikki ambiguously shaking hands in he hallway. Makes me really wonder what would have been if: A) Silverlink had ufo's budget and Oonuma Shin was adapting FSN. or B) Ufo gave UBW to KNK5/Texnolyze director Takayuki Hirao instead of Miura. |

| As of 27/7/14 I have decided trap anime Sword Art Online II has more appeal than Mahouka. |
| Best episode of any of this seasons shows that I have seen so far in my opinion, Stella's scream and the moment in the hospital, just wow. The OST is pretty godly in this show as well for the battles and stuff. |
| Ikki and Stella are a pretty good couple, and by now we've seen more than a few instances of the obvious attraction between them. I suspect we'll only see the skinship deepen since they're already roommates. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Okay what the actual fuck was this shit? I liked the first 3 episodes well enough but this... this duel... is so bad Like seriously he got shot probably 50 times by arrows. There was blood flying every time he got hit, there were holes all over his body, hell he was even lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood at one point. There is no way in hell he should have the slightest chance of winning at that point. Actually he shouldn't even be alive anymore. I just can't accept the fact that Ikki seriously won that duel. That made no sense whatsoever. If he had some healing power or something it'd be one thing but seeing as he supposedly don't... uhm, okay? I'll admit that Stella's public confession and the kiss scene at the end were nice, but by that point I was already way too fucking annoyed at the duel itself in order to really give a damn Meh |

| Best episode so far, I agree that Nene sensei (or whatever loli teacher she is), is kinda hot, LMAO at her flirting Ikki. Action scenes are fine Dat Stella confession, Silver Link for once you had done right. Over 9000/5 episode indeed. hikikoMOURI said: On a side note: If an anime/episode is bad, some people will hate it. If an anime/episode is good, some people will still hate it. It's just how the world works (and how some people wanna look cool, really). So I'm gonna be here, eating my popcorn 'cause I feel that a war is about to breakout....maybe~ lol IKR This is the reason why aliens will never ever visited this stupid planet of ours filled with plebs like these. |

Also those people telling "generic MC beating generic villain" made me lol...Any fight MC wins will be considered as such by those people with that logic...If you believe people can turn invisible,others can strengthen their body AND you watched that Ikki was nervous as fuck you will be able to connect the dots.... |

NeoAnkara said: That still doesn't make sense to me. If it was just a weak attack which didn't cause a lot of damage, then yeah I could understand it. But regardless of what the numbers may say, the fact of the matter is he evidentially got really badly hurt or he wouldn't have ended up losing that much blood. You're looking at the cause, not the effect. If you get that badly hurt, then you're in trouble. It doesn't matter how or why that injury may have been sustained; you'll still be just as badly hurtHaXXspetten said: His general output of power is low to begin with (ranked E).
