Tatenashi hawtness made this episode.

I was loyal to Charlotte until Tatenashi showed up. Now It's a toss-up between the two for me. :eyespin:

Loyalty can take you so far in this show. Don't dwell on it too much.. Give a passing glance and move on. :heh:

Tatenashi fan service, but for some reason the thing I'm most impressed about is how the dojo could change from wooden floor to mats.:heh:

Still have no clue why Ichika's IS is still in first shift, the change from default mode to first shift was permanent, why not the change from first to second shift?
It's like they're cutting corners.

I guess she is japanese representant not russian... she is older then ichika so a 3rd year maybe.... and well he is the only guy in the whole world that can control an is... so he might be targeted by some organization later in life... so better to be strong in order to protect himself and those around him... not beign a weight to others as its shown.... the girls are way too focused over ichika and can lose easyly their focus when something regarding ichika happens.... here cecilia bumps into charlotte... becouse tenteshi blowed some air into ichikas ear (erotic way)... houki destroyed ichikas room doors in jelousy outburst and attacked him with sharp sword which should be banned...

the main reason behind tenteshis actions might be learned later on... but I wonder if ichikas sister had anything to do with this... like she asked her to teach ichika some stuff in her place


but what I dont like is how the staff droped ichika back into 1st shift >_> come on... the gun setsura remained... while wings for faster movement went poof.... I guess they didnt wnat to draw all those parts on ichikas IS from 2nd shift.... and I will seriously hate it if ichika at the end of the series again enters the 2nd shift look like from season1....it should be 2nd shift from ep1.... and taking it back to shift1 is like taking from houkis IS both swords...total nonsense.

anyway besides the 1st shift BS nice ep. tenteshi is like a mix of all girls xD

Too trollish for my taste.

At the beginning, scary Charlotte is scary. She was probably thinking like (Ohh, so you were late because you were with another woman? *YANDERE face*)

Tatenashi seems to be really teasing XD

I lol'ed so hard at this scene:

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)
I was like......... DA FAK R U DOING.

If someone else saw it, it would look like

Ichika: *DROOLS* OPPAI!!!! *RUNS* *OPENS*

Tatenashi: KYAAAAA Ichika-kun no ecchi!



Wait.... Charlotte got her line stolen?!


Anyhow I love Tatenashi's "Onee-san phrase" XD

Most important: We see why Char is the best girl, being so considerate.

Totally agreed there onee-sama. :)

On the other hand she also opened fire after hearing Ichika was late due to being with another woman. Guess nobody is perfect. :heh:

I found it funny that Cecilia and Charl were monitoring Ichika while fighting. They can't take their eyes off him even in an instance needing high level concentration. Tatenashi was hard on him, but seems to score some effect. Her teasing was funny.

I hope we get to see more Houki and Rin. The preview for the next episode was hilarious. Houki playing around when nobody is close by. :heh:

Screw Houki. We need more Tatenashi and Charlotte.

I wish Ichika would. Then maybe this series would get somewhere.

Except he is uh....

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)
And the fact the author seems like Houki more... which is very disappointing to tons of fans... in a way...

Definitely cutting corners

I.S. are not exactly merchandise driven after all, despite supposed popularity.

Hmm come to think of it, didn't he retain Setsura?

Dude, Tatenashi or Charlotte with Ichika?

No less of a Hell for him. At least he got a chance to make Jelly with Houki.

Hnnn.... I must say, I had my reservations about Tatenashi as a character but thanks to this, I see it all (well almost all of her, thanks to Ichika).

I don't mind her now actually. She's perfect -for kicking his ass into high-gear. She gives him the training that Chifuyu would if she wasn't a teacher. Still, while the girls are busy playing house with him, Tatenashi is actually training him to do something other than 'Yell, then charge in swinging'.

Ah, Chifuyu using one of the haremettes to deal out the punishment for being late... XD So wise of her... However, she is really going to have to take a more 'hands-on' approach to Ichika's training if she wants him to level up at any rate.

"Ichika nyan, daisuke nyan.... Chi-Chi-CHIFUYU-SAN!?!" Houki, that reaction was priceless. But why are you in the photo at the end!? Geez, cutting into my brother-sister time here.

I was SO pissed at that end. Houki, get out of my wincest pic!

Totally agreed DX

A shame that for every minute of plot advancement and/or character growth I have to put up with 10 of stupid harem antics.
