Don't mention it
my opinion on epi 9 is...
I liked the development with sares as it showed that shes basically already sees them as a couple and that indirect kiss i guess going by her culture would be like a marriage proposal.
I liked how it seemed that all the girls were somewhat pissed after hearing what haruna said(eu diden't really show it so i'm just guessing with her) haruna balledlike a baby, and Sera slaed him(which if she diden't have some feelings for him she shoulden't care if he gets with a girl)
and overall it showed that all the girls care for him after nenes comment to him near the end before he ran to the concert.
we got some of eus backstory, the origin of the king of night, and that nene and chris are drinking buddies(and i think they're planning something for ayumu since they're conversation went in his direction)
so it wasen't a bad episode in my opinion since we got a lot of info on the world, some backstory, forshadowing, and development with the girls.
as for megalo, i think they were specifically created as soldiers to fight mahou shoujo, sense mahou shoujo are all girls perverted abilities and tendencies would be very effective(Issei can vouch for that)
as to why there animals maybe its just the authors personal preferance or the megalo were once animals themselves but we'de need more info to make that assumption.
so what are your thoughts Welsh?
