This anime is actually very enjoyable... it either must get shit later on or my tastes are very different from the majority of MAL users... which is strange because I thought I agreed with MAL most of the time.

Anyways, Julis and Ayato make an adorable couple~ That ending scene when he was wiping her tears <3

And holy shit Claudia at the end O__O Basically killed that guy

villain takes his time "killing" a character so the lead character can save him/me at the last moment cliche...

Why do they keep doing this...

Also, Tsundere are freaking annoying.

His sister chained his power up, causing him to hurt and suffer pain after every use. And they say sisterly love and character depth is dead... like really.

Yada-yada.. quite underwhelming..
They didn't bother to show him in action at all.
Just watching a bunch of pork cutlets getting sliced up like scrap metal.
They have decent art and animation but why be so cheap with the actions.
Lester totally forgotten in they lovers quibble. So sad.

Super generic episode, but done quite well I think. I like the effects and animation, and the relationship between the two MC's is ALMOST believable. not bad, not bad at all.

Beating up a dude and his goons while princess carrying the princess, Julis. That's how you get girls to fall for you. And here I expected Julis to go tsun but she was perfectly ok with being carried.

Ayato's power looks pretty good, but Claudia's looks quite scary.

You're telling me Ayato can go into ultra op mode, and kill over 100 enemies in about 5 seconds, and carry someone with his other hand all while doing so!? Wtf!?

And then do it all over again in only a little more time... Jesus. Hard to see him ever losing in this series!

Ah! It was penis head.
Claudia's weapons.
Bondage.
Into Nee-san's oppai.
Claudia's weapons are so pretty. Her eyes are pretty.
Yabuki is there.
New people.
Dat preview. Please endure it, Claudia. Ayato will be yours.

Claudia proves once again that she is best girl.

For a series that started being so generic and uninspiring I must say it does provide some surprising enjoyment to the point I m looking forward for more Julis, she follows some tropes, but all in all she manages to amuse me, also I did enjoy Ayato vibe alot this episode, badass fella there.
Must say the animation hit some really good values here and there.

And the ending felt really nice and sweet.

Great action scenes but i was beginning to think that this was going to get boring with Ayato being an invincible superman, then he ran out of gas. It adds to the story but Why would Ayato's sister lock up his power?

Looks like Claudia is up to something, and where's Saya? She may be up to something too

That's cool. Julis can also summon familiars. She reminds me of Awakened Yuna Springfield from Counter:Side. I guess the devs were a fan of Julis.

Julis is super cute this ep. I'm fine with her being the main waifu of this show.

That was a nice fight. I like how he had to figure out his opponent's strat to easily beat him.

This episode is awesome with the action, and here is one of the antagonists, Silas Norman, a man with control over some robots and supposedly paid by some other academy or thug group to attack the frontrunners for the Phoenix Festa, while Silas yaps about everyone around is a mutual enemy, to target others and fulfill desires. More like fulfill a selfish evil ploy. Silas also betrays Lester (Silas was part of the group with Lester and Randy previously), and plans to frame him for the attacks. Julis action fighting the robots, so awesome. Julis also accuses Allekant for pulling Silas' strings, the same academy that can also mass produce these armored robots. Unfortunately, she gets hit with a bullet on her thigh, held against the wall, and just when it was over her, Ayato comes just in time to attack and save Julis. Ayato has a talk with Julis, saying he wants to be there for her to protect her, and that is what he is supposed to do while Julis can work to help protect the orphanage and get them the money they need, Ayato wants to help with that mission.

Silas drops over 100 robots against Ayato, and the true power of Ayato rises, his savage force. Not only does Ayato cut through this mini robot army by Silas, but also uses the nine fanged sword skill to take down a giant robot that is a last resort for Silas. As Silas attempts to flee by jumping on top of a robot and floating up with it, Julis casts flame wings to help pilot Ayato to help finish Silas by making him fall to his doom. Get owned Silas, huge W Julis and Ayato!! PEAK!! As Ayato and Julis admire the view of the sunset, Ayato becomes binded with chains, sealing his power. The initial aura of chains he felt in episode 2 is back, this time locking away his powers, which was cast by his sister when he was a kid. His powers don't last very long, leading them to becoming sealed away. Thankfully Ayato wakes up as Julis was very worried for him. So cute that Julis kept Ayato lying down on her thigh while also grateful for him coming to save her while Ayato was thinking it wasn't ok to lie down on her thigh, but Julis says she is okay with having him lie down.

Ayato definitely seems to be the right partner for the Phoenix Festa, both Julis and Ayato make a great team, and after all, Ayato is honest, kind, strong willed, and looking to protect others while being brave. Need MOREE JULIS x AYATO, I'm so hyped. That end though, what is Eishiro doing with Claudia? Good to see Silas get the karma he deserved, dang Claudia looks menacing. And who are the two girls watching things unfold in the computer room? A lot to look forward to..
