Chifuyu is such a troll. There was hints of it last season when she trolled the girls but now I'm convinced - she loves to troll people. ... and hit them with 'things'.

Episode 10:

  • Welcome to the club, Kanzashi.
  • Tatenashi's up to her usual trolling. Chifuyu joined in on the trolling fun too.
  • It was better to keep your eyes open, Ichika. Your third eye was nothing.tongue
  • Houki, Charl, I hope you two learned an important lesson; in the presence of Cecilia, NEVER leave her in the kitchen alone.
  • Laura's in those cat pajamas. That's so cu-wait, don't eat thaaat...!tongue
  • At least Ling knew how to handle her. Then, the food exploded.
  • In the end, Cecilia spends some cooking time with Ichika. Just as planned. Not.tongue
  • Tabane's here! And she sure knows how to party.tongue Who did Phantom Task think they were messing with? Know this, fools. Only Chifuyu can take her down.
  • And they still get her in the end. Just not the way they had hoped to acquire her. And she's only interested in Madoka. Yeah. That's how Tabane rolls. Get with the program, losers.evil grin

Episode 11. In which Ichika is a moron. Well, that describes most episodes, but still.

I don't know why, but I found Laura's obvious trap inexplicably hilarious. Probably because it worked.

Serene beauty is nothing in the face of a rampaging student horde.

Person-sized mystery luggage. I wonder what could be in it. Such a mystery. Kanza handled that awesomely. Too bad it wasn't the real one.

Taking a pic with her half-way out of the frame, while predicable, is quite horrible. A half-visible person like that completely ruins the composition of the shot. Either have her in it or not at all you dimwit.

Honne and the rest of the girls are a lot more honest about what they want, and that, surprisingly, works out a lot better when dealing with him.

If you're the official class photographer, expect people to hog you at all times.

If you're that worried about seeing someone's panties, don't look, idiot.

"I'll forgive you if you come with me for a while." Crafty, Charles.

Why are they making excuses about the shrine visit? It's not like they have any secret intents. Do what Laura does. Be honest.

Them getting angry at him for stupid reasons got old before the series started. It makes cardboard cutouts with absolutely no personality, individual or otherwise, out of all of them.

Some clothes are just not meant for chases. And I don't think Kanza's suit her very well. Colour's wrong, and those things in her hair clash too badly.

If that cart got wrecked just by running into it, I wouldn't want to ride it. And really, running into objects standing still is just stupid.

This is why I liked Laura. She cutes out about stuff that doesn't involve Ichika. It's almost as if she has interests not relevant to him.

Random person with no relevance to anything whatsoever shows up to help them take a photo.

You know, after watching so many series with school trips, it feels like I could find my way in Kyoto myself. Well, not that anime tends to be all that accurate, but the landmarks are there.

"Congratulations. You just took a photo of a woman without her permission." That's such a Chifu reaction. She's good with the deadpan snark.

And yet, she (Chifuyu) was so cute when she was younger. What happened!?

Kanzashi's reaction to the suitcase was probably the best part of the episode. Just shove her back in and toss her into a truck.

Best part is that Ichika helped. He's very indecisive about actually picking a girl, but there are some he definitely excludes from his harem of options.

Episode 11:

  • Laura's smug face is that of a winner.
  • Hey, it's everyone favorite student council president, Tatena- Ichika/Kanzashi tag-team! Hilarious![lol] And Tatenashi's a magician.
  • Yeah, Cecilia. I'm miffed at Ichika, too. I mean, if you're going for a scenery shot, make sure no one's in the shot. At all.
  • But really, Cecilia, you should've been more straightforward. Like the non-harem girls.
  • Laura faced a great ordeal. To eat, or not to eat. She took the advice of the white wagashi. Seriously, that was cute. She's so honest and straightforward. Again, like the non-harem girls.
  • Ichika and Houki gets their picture taken by the enemy in the bamboo forest. Felt...normal to me. Until she said Ichi's name.
  • Chifuyu at her finest. Then again, she's always at her finest.
  • Phantom Task pounces! This field trip just got deadly.
  • Cecilia and Houki are gonna battle the season! Wait, it's just that idiot spider-woman.tongue
  • Ichika, defeat your unknown sis- who am I kidding? He's toast. At least, he'll be mostly toast.tongue

Tatenashi really should give up with the school events. What's the count now, 6?

"Well done, you took a picture of a female without her permission."

That made me laugh more than it should have.

Episode 12. In which we have even clichér clichés.

You know, even starting this, it doesn't feel like it's the twelth episode. Maybe of a 24-episode season, but according to my always-accurate sources (Wikipedia) this is the last episode of the season. Certainly don't feel like it.

So, the army shows up. And they fail to hit a stationary target.

Yeah, turn your back to the opponent, because if something shocking happens she's bound to stop attacking you. Survival instincts are a thing outside anime.

Sure, it was dusk and all, but it got dark really quickly there.

Didn't they pull pretty much exactly the same mental world scene as in the first season?

Sometimes I wonder if anime is capable of having a bath scene without a sign switch. And you know, it's very stupid to switch the signs without checking if anyone's gone in. And how did he end up there?

Still doesn't feel like the last episode.

Episode 12:

  • Phantom Task shows off their threatening potential to the fullest. Well, two of them anyway. Autumn...fell...tongue
  • Good to know that Tabane didn't make the Black Knight too overpowered. The battle with Madoka was even. That said, she really enjoys causing Chifuyu trouble. Chaotic bunny!tongue
  • Misplaced signs are cheap. Too cheap.

Hmm... It didn't feel like a finale at all...

Watching the 12th episode....yeah. Talk about an anti-climax. Pacing wise, the series went the same way Rosario Vampire's anime did. The first one had a semblance of a plot but mostly focused on the harem hijinks. The second season didn't even bother trying and went full on fanservice.

Just watched up to episode 9 of season 1.

I can sort of understand the two childhood friends (Houki and Rin) being in love with Ichika. I can understand Charlotte being in love with him (because Ichika was actually incredibly bro to her). I don't understand why Cecilia and Laura are in love with him. They went from tsun to dere after their duels with him. It's like it was Defeat Means Love or something.

And Tanabane (Houki's sister) is surprisingly a Bunny-Ears Lawyer. Though I should have seen that coming when I saw her silhouette in the first two episodes with literal bunny ears.

And due to Ichika's bro-ness towards Charlotte, I hereby dub him 'Bro-rimura'.

Cecilia's characterisation is rather botched by the anime in general.

Laura on the other hand I found made a lot sense for her to turn around. She always had strong feelings about him, and while she did look down on him, he made her realise she was wrong, which made her reconsider everything she thought about him. And considering her way of overdoing just about everything...

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Rin or Cecilia or those bloody twins.

Long live Charl X Laura X Ichika!

Also, sort of excited for the OVA coming out in... september, I think it was?

Rin didn't get enough characterization in general. She's a Yandere childhood friend who can cook. That's about it. She has divorced parents, which could have led to an interesting plotline, but there wasn't any follow up.

Cecilia got characterization, but it was completely botched. Okay, she hates men because her father turned into a spineless coward the second the IS came out. Fair enough. But then when Ichika (sorta) beat her in a duel, she's suddenly in love with him? It should have been the opposite; she should have hated him more, as a "You're only acting strong because you can use an IS." And then there's an event where Ichika has to fight without the IS, and Cecilia learns his value isn't related to the machine and all other simple and cliche lessons. But cliche or not, it would have made more sense than what we got.

I loved how Charlotte and Laura were done, though. Laura started out stereotypical, but she grew out of it quickly.

[up]She's basically Houki-lite. Both childhood friends, both can cook, both are tsunderes. Here only really function is to serve the obligatory "look" of a tsunderes that every anime send required to have.

Got to season 2 episode 5. The plot thickens. Charlotte continues to be the best.


Bro-rimura gets a new harem member: Seitokaichou Tatenashi.

Bro-rimura also reaches a new level of fail. What kind of fool forgets his own birthday...repeatedly?


Who made that piece of shit Byakushiki? Honestly, I swear it's the only IS that ever gets energy problems. What a shit design.

World Purge OVA. In which the teachers win.

She's having the time of her life, every day. She's always so fun to watch.

Somene else is also having the time of her life.

Well, if their units are in for repair, they don't currently have personal units.

Are there any sane scientists in this series?

"Go fishing or something." Not Hyperbole. And not alone.

And why is it needed that they have a personal IS for that? Just an excuse to have the main characters do that, or just because they're the best available?

I find that prez's scenes are more enjoyable if I imagine her being Quattro. I would say she's got the voice for it, but that's only occasionally true.

If that's her dream, I don't want her winning the harem race.

Hey, is she going to fight for once? That might be actually interesting.

Size doesn't matter.

She changed the eye-patch too. But mostly just acting like the harem anime says she should. Because that's the only place that meek girl could've come from.

That's a lot of blood.

Her display shows the text the right way, rather than the inverse it was shown before when the other girls were about to dive in. Which means it was his screen, not hers.

Why does he even need to look? Is it something complicated you can't do in the dark anyway?

Yup, he's a moron. But we all knew that.

She actually got hit. Which was all part of the plan. Boom.

Just where did he appear just then? [lol]

Okay, I'm going to excuse the faulty sound of those, because Maya's got a lot of dakka. Which keeps going. It's about time for her to be awesome.

I first thought of that mysterious dream girl, but that's not her. She had a different hair cut before. And then I remembered who she was.

And just because I say that, they enter that very dreamy place.

Count on Laura to liven things up. Although she shouldn't have said anything before she tried it herself first.

No, it's not like CPR. At all. Trust me on that.

Dang, almost had it there, Zashi. Hesitate less next time!

It was nice knowing you, Rin. Well, like Chifu's going to be upset with someone gently touching her stomach.

He didn't do any lewd things. And he's the least perverted out of everyone there.

So she did have that connection to Laura. Although it was obvious as soon as we saw both her eyes, if Ichi's previous comment wasn't tip enough.

Going to say poor Laura, for the running sequences. Some clothes are not made for running.
