Why is the Synchrotron girl in 5:20? o.o Isn't she a Level 4 already?
Whoa, epic shoujo-ai moment for Jufuku there. :O EDIT: Miss Synchrotron's name is 釧路帷子. If I did translate it correctly, it reads as "Kushiro Ishi".

Plenty of Saten here, not that I don't mind but I expected things to pick up after that swimsuit episode, as well as a new OP. Maybe next week?
Definitely an improvement from the last episode. It's just kinda disappointing that I waited for 2 weeks just go get another filler. Well at least we get to see our favorite loli teacher from Index The preview definitely looks interesting, lots of fighting there and woah, skill out! I've always wondered what those guys are, or what they do for that matter. I'm actually surprised to see her too. My guess is she probably is one of those early ones who discovered Level upper, and took the test when she got juiced up thus got her level increased in academy city's data base.

Spoiler for spoiler:
Looks like Uiharu has gained a love rival in this episode. This is what happens when you draw all the female characters together, it saturates into yuri. Komoe-sensei! She finally makes an appearance! P.S The bad-girl looks like the FeMC from P3P. Does she have the ability to summon a Persona?

yeah that too. But I dunno, its just too much of a coincidence that she was hospitalized when level upper was rampant, but the again, the anime never stated the reason why she was hospitalized in the first place, and those special lessons weren't exactly for those who used level upper. So yeah, I think it's most likely that scenario

I suspected this might happen but i didn't point it out earlier because I hadn't actually watched the episode yet, but my prediction was correct: People don't just spontaneously mood swing as you said, but Satens case was hardly 'out of nowhere'. I'm pretty sure you (and Saten herself) can guess why she was having special classes in the first place. And other little things like it being a nice day and you having plans to go out with your friends and everything can have an affect. Besides, she wasn't really actually moping about it either. You can tell she's not very please but in the first half, she simply replied, "It can't be helped". She was more than active in the marathon running, that must've seem entirely pointless at the time. And afterwards, after that Spartan teachers speech she was considerate, rather than moping. And she was pretty pissed when that high school girl said there should be an easier way. "We cheated so it's obvious we should be here." is what she said. Is that moping? And Komoe sensei had confirmed that she wasn't actually moping but rather felt guilty about what she had done. Also that high school girl that was ranting, and that eyebrow lesbian girl were also showing that it wasn't really out of nowhere. In any case it was everyone else, except that big guy that was complaining. She wasn't complaining at all. She was just unhappy, which she was obviously going to be. You can hardly fault her for that. Quote:
Anyway, I really liked this episode. It was meant to show some character development Saten had undertaken. Some may not have noticed but I noticed that she was actually concentrating in her class and making notes as well (even if they weren't particularly brilliant). It was heartwarming too. 10/10 for me.

But nice episode, I was rooting for Saten, was hoping that she developed something, but, it can't be that easy.
She got an A for clairvoyance, makes me think that she wants to see Uiharu's underwear without flipping up her skirt. Spoiler:

As for Saten's status, that's the very reason, as I've said, for why this episode is misplaced. As I also said, you don't just randomly place episodes in a series; you place episodes to make a flow of events and story. Having a character have a problem one episode, have no signs of it the next, then have that problem come back out of nowhere again in the third episode, upsets that flow. They probably thought what you're saying; bring in the beach episode for a random fanservice filler breather, then come back with this episode. Problem is, it doesn't really work. You can't just sweep character dilemna under the rug for an episode like it never happened and go to the beach for fanservice filler, then bring the dilemna back out. This isn't a nonsense-comedy series like Seitokai no Ichizon, after all. Quote:

To be perfectly honest, if she really had to be reminded of what she'd done before coming to terms with it, then that's a major character fault. I'm sure we can both agree she's more responsible than that.

Besides I've seen pettier debates. I've seen Serious Buisness debates on what would be the correct romanization of a japanese name, or what would be the correct definition of 'evasion' or whether or not it's possible to tell whether the next episode will be filler based on the preview. etc....

Shinji103 and Haak, you guys are arguing about nothing. Shinji, Haak agrees that it was misplaced, but s/he also thinks it was a good episode. The only difference between you to is whether or not you like it, and you can just show that by voting.
For those that think its filler, this episode really wasn't. The anime studio already stated that they would be adding a lot more original content, so even if this isn't following the manga it's not necessarily filler. Heck, I think that the anime is doing a better job than the manga (with the exception of episode 13) |

I like this episode. It gave a chance for the minor characters to receive more screen time.
Looks like one yuri pairing is not enough for this series. Glad to see they sneaked Komoe-sensei into the episode. Considering the reason for the class, I guess the lack of a Touma cameo is to be expected. The next episode looks interesting with the appearance of Skill-Out, and a Spider-Tattoo man. Makes me think of Inuyasha. |

Spoiler for lol 4Koma for Konori:
That might be the case, hence why Saten got an A on it. xP Well, as for how the episode turned up for me, the only good stuff I saw is the yuri between Jufuku and Saten... even though I prefer Saten more with Uiharu, but if another girl makes a move on Saten, well... Lol, is it me or is Saten sitting in Touma's chair? Or at least, they're using the classroom Touma uses... idk. Next episode... I can't wait... 8D |
