Great episode. Ruri's Twin Tail Corkscrew style as follows,

was delicious! I liked Ruri’s face in the spoiler
because that face looked to me like it was conveying me Ruri desires Alma sensually. Maybe I am out of my mind but that is the impression I got. Of course Ruri was never used to commoner stuff since she drops her change while trying to get a ticket and as it happens she gets pushed back by the barrier. Poor Ruri, needs to adjust but she looked happy in getting her first ticket. I totally loved seeing Ruri in the spoiler
that object and her facial expression were shining nicely although Alma had to leave her while being in thoughts. While it was nice that Alma introduces to some of his folks here, it was far more nicer to see Ruri eating happily with Alma here and Alma dragging her around while holding her hand. It was very lovely to see loli Ruri here and some delicious legs of Ruri here. Strangely they looked well done. My most favorite faces of Ruri are those in the spoiler
I really liked those. Oh man that was amazing to see. Oni broke some ice with Ruri x Alma in the spoiler
which was funny. I very happy they kept the new OP, it really is amazing and much more intense than the first one.

Even though there were a lot of awwwws and MOE meter breaking with Ruri's blushing and Alma x Ruri hand holding, the best was the princess hold in the following,

now that was amazing of Alma. Flag points, there are 12 at least less I missed some in the spoiler
This episode further went towards developing Ruri x Alma. It's strange because I though it was like Megaman, like he also needed time to like that girl in one of the sagas. It might be slow but Ruri x Alma is there 100% as of this episode. Makes it too obvious if it was not before already.

BTW photo assemblies in the spoiler
Ruri looks amazing in those casual clothing.

Intermission was nice in the spoiler
I like its art.

Ruri's visiting Alma without Kagami involving.

lol @ trying to match the pair closer.

Kagami asking his Harvard friend to investigate but it seems like it's dangerous.

lol @ Alma's "Toriaezu (For now)", without conscious. Now they've solved the misunderstanding.

The inserted song is "Koi (Love)" by Ruri. (in OST). She met him before??

Just that song and its insertion proves the directing of this episode was breathtaking. TBH I was very overwhelmed emotionally by that segment. That's what good directing is! That's what it should be or try to.

Agreed, this forced "romance" is really starting to get in the way of the show now. Some moments had me want to barf at the cheesy-ness.

Nice to hear Ranka (heh, I can't help it) sing again indeed

Good episode and Ruri was seriously HHHHNNNGG here

To be honest the placement was slightly questionable (this ep should've taken place earlier) but since butler-kun's detective work was bound to not find anything out immeaditly (which would've been silly) it was either monster of the week episode or this. I prefer this option.

Wonder what the SP was doing in Kamakura...

I get the feeling this show is getting more and more derp all the time.
And now I'm really starting to dislike Ruri, despite her being voiced by Nakajima Megumi.
And I still think SP is the only character in this show who's worth anything.

Also, I didn't realize this earlier, but hell, Arma does actually look kinda like Squall.
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.

To be honest Arma doesn't remind me of Squall, I can't help but think of Apollo from Aquarion whenever Arma speaks... which probably explains why I'm strangely fond of him. Apollo was pretty likeable idiot hero and finding a male protagonist that I actually like is always hard

Certain aspects of it is. The high school part of this show hinders the awesome action show it could be.

Its like they thought it was a good idea to mix Mecha armor anime with Shojo plot....

Seeing Arma and Ruri blush 24/7 and stuttering all the damn time is getting repetitive, and its cliche.

They should focus more on the evil doctor and the "anti-hero" guy.

ruri was cute this episode but having both blush after every minute was quite awkward; ruri's expression after looking at the ramen was pure win hahaha
im loving the OST and insert song throughout the episode, especially the way the entry song was starting (the shiny Arma :D)
was that SP going into the shop just as Arma and ruri were leaving? o_o im sure it was coincidence ._.;
anyways pretty sweet episode especially the way Arma was carrying Ruri in the beach X3

YES YES I hear you man..
First episode 8 had some reeeeeeeeeaaaaaalllly nice insert song, that added spice to the atmosphere. This episode showed quite the characters development between Aruma and Ruri, that you can see how their love is growing.
It stepped up from the normal stuff that we grew tired of watching.

GG got butthurt over Alma/Arma romanization drama and as a result has been doing the Squall joke for two eps straight. Which would've been amusing in early episodes but the joke is already over a month old and seriously pushing it now.

The pinky meant that they were one thing, basically a couple.

Arma willingly used his power against the kid as it was shown that he took off his pendant which was most likely a seal.
He still had it once he moved with his mother so he probably never made any friends on his own will because he didn't want to get hurt if they would learn the truth about him someday.
He doesn't have his pendant anymore which suggest that something happened somewhere along the line (probably when he met Ruri when they were younger)

I love Hellbrick, he made the episode. :) It was kinda dull but glad Arma stopped being such a stick in the mud. Still, this is supposed to be a generic fighting anime, so where's the generic fighting? I figured their date would at least get screwed up by a random Darkstone attack.

After the lack of action in Ao no Exorcist, I was a little disappointed in this one. Ah well. Judged on its own merits not bad.

The setup for this episode was a bit cliche. The whole hellbrick sending them on a pointless trip to get them to while requiring them to hold hands at all times thing was a bit hard to watch, but after that it was a very nice episode. Very cute and nice development between the main character. Definitely made me like Ruri and this show more in general.

A complete win episode! I lmao'd when Hellbrick got too excited and blew his plan away in the beginning. Sadly those two were too oblivious to notice it, lol at how they still believe him in holding hands = rock glow. The ending was very funny as well.

Cute episode, Arma and Ruri really did get much closer after their date. They didn't even mind / realize they were still holding hands at the end. Ruri was just so cute this episode, especially with her not understanding anything.

it was mentioned there was insert song sung by her in her blog quite a long time ago already but since it was called "Koi" I figured it'd play in final episode when Ruri gets her Arma or something. So it surprised me it came already
