My take on this episode is much the same as MisaoFan's.

There wasn't much fancy in this episode, but it was good and solid. The male and female lead both came across well and there was some decent comedy moments.

What stood out to me the most was the excellent BGM, particularly for the comedy moments. That BGM really made a huge difference for me - It turned something that could have easily been horribly cliche to instead being so over-the-top that it felt like it was very self-aware in lampooning the "student celebrity" and "mysterious transfer student" tropes. So the BGM caused a scene to go from "Bad" to "Hilarious", so that was rather impressive, really.

Anyway, yeah, here's hoping that this show can fill the niche that Accel World filled for me over the past two seasons (which in turn was filled by Shana before that).


One question for those familiar with the source material - Is this a reverse harem? I don't mind it if it is, but I'd like to sort of manage my own expectations beforehand if it is a reverse harem.
