Ep 5

Not bad, I like it. But that Re=L, like really?
That transformation part was really good too
At least the next episode will provide more explanations. (If they will not cut too much)

[AB079]

To be honest most of this episode was really boring, adding to that Sisti is still the worst girl here. At least close to the end Glenn started to shine again and now to protect one of the best girls of this series Lumia.

So basically that girl at the end with the sword is gonna be another one falling for Glenn right? following the usual cliche.

There is more background story about it, you will probably see.

[Tenzen12]

I think it's fine if you like Lumia or Celica more than Sisti, but you should be more careful about how you express it, because it almost sound like you think Sisti is bad character

[AB079]

Generic tsundere character that screams every 2 seconds to just suddenly blushing at the side of the guy she likes, copy and paste that for 5 episodes.

Yeah not a bad character LMAO .

[Magewolf]

So a guy who can detect an ambush by highly trained pro gets knocked out by a guy who he knows is there walking up behind him. And there was no need for it just have him pop the flash and take them out and cut the whole tying her to a tree to kill her thing.

Wait! Ate you maybe one of these people who thinks word "generic" is supposed be deregatory? In that case you are wrong. Ghost in the Shell is generic cyberpunk, Arthur C. Clark and Stephen King have lot of generic sci-fi and horrors (respectively). It's not about quality but simply description of tropes used.

Also where this "screaming every 2 seconds" came from? Glenn became relatively tame recently and doesn't cause trouble so often to warrant that (and yes if Sisti screams you should blame real root of trouble: Glenn).

Edit: also ignoring actual characterisation, just to bash archetype you don't like is pretty silly.

You know what's silly? defending something that is just part of the giant ocean of generic harems like you do. And even more pathetic is using titles like GitS or using authors with good works to defend the girl you like in this series. Also yes, using "generic" to qualify something that is a copy of another copy is right, or are you going to tell me Rokudenashi is different? because for now the only good part of the series that makes it decent is Glenn, everything else is the usual cliches.

5 episodes in and Sisty haven't show anything that leaves her away from the usual tsundere archetype that screams or try to hit the MC every 2 minutes. Lumia on the other hand while being the usual girl that holds pride on her promises and try to not be a weight for anyone with her problems, is having a lot of development, characterization and background (based on the past 3 episodes). Even Celica is getting more than Sisti on that matter. I don't deny that there exist room for improvement when we talk about Sisti in this story but for now she's lacking quite a lot.

Sisty acts like that because her character was designed to be like that, if you like it is okay, everyone has different tastes but don't come here with poor arguments when the series is showing something different than what you see with your waifu googles. Remember that you went into spoiling the LN before in a silly attempt to defend this.

Just how hungry was Glenn that his vision is blurring? Still gotta wonder about his time with the Imperial Mages...

Re=L, seriously?

[Marcus H.]

He cannot do anything because they are Imperial Guards. From his experience as a Court Mage, these guards are probably trained to resist magic, so he's forced to let them get away before ambushing them, which is his field of expertise. I hope people don't forget that part.

Just how hungry was Glenn that his vision is blurring? Still gotta wonder about his time with the Imperial Mages...

We're talking about three months' salary as part of the bet with Professor Halley, so that's gonna be tough.

Defending something (even if it's part of ocean), that is falsely accused is my hobby. It's not about Sistina herself, though I do like her more than Lumia or Riel (but much less than Celica).

You still using that word wrong. knock of off knock off, obviously belong to same genre as original and thus Rokudenashic", but as I said it's all about execution. Again it is not about Rokudenashi, it's about turning it I to useless buzz word that will plagues threats long after this show ends. So just stop. Anyway it's all about execution, if that's great you get GiTS, if it's job st good you get Rokudenashi. Both are generic representatives of their kind regardless.

5 episodes in and Sisty haven't show anything that leaves her away from the usual tsundere archetype that screams or try to hit the MC every 2 minutes.

With exception you are completely omitting fact that Sisti ditched her Tsun somewhere between episode two and three and is dere ever since. By your own standards she barely count as tsundere and far from abusive verbally or otherwise.

After watching this episode I have a really strong urge to pull Re=L's ponytail

I think in practice "generic" is definitely a critical adjective. The saying is that there is really nothing new under the sun, but there are still common paths and less common ones, and even when you are taking a common path you can add a bit of twist to it. Or you can have the skill to pull even the most common tactics off so well they come off looking attractive anyway.

Generic IMO means "It's not new, it's not even Uncommon, there are few if any identifiable twists to make things slightly fresh, and the execution while not disastrous is uninspired." And frankly, I think that's not too far off when it comes to Sisti.

Also where this "screaming every 2 seconds" came from?

Sisti did not show up that much this episode, but I think the highlight was when she made lunch for Glenn (oh, how well-trodden this path) and had a misunderstanding (oh, how standard a play...) and blew him away with her wind spell (oh, slapstick...)

Sisti, you are not stupid. You walked into Glenn (who had become Lumia). Glenn didn't walk into you. There is no reason to think he was deliberately trying to filch the lunch you were making for him anyway. Your reaction was not only disproportionate, but unreasonable, which means significant unwert is actually perceived by the viewer when watching that scene.

And no, Glenn's not the source of the unwert. He was trying to give a few tips to a student. We saw that.

[Anh_Minh]

I agree her reaction was disproportionate, but he could have dispelled the misunderstanding and no harm done. And he was about to filch some of Rumia's lunch, even if it was just a "crime" of opportunity rather than premeditation.

[RDNexus]

In the end, it was both sides' fault

[Tenzen12]

He used firm if Sisti's best friend to scam her. That's punch worthy, I know I would. Helping students is fine and dandy but it's also completely unrelated.

I will give him it wasn't premeditated and that he wasn't exactly in his best shame. Still considering whole reason for this situation is loosing all money in casino, all blave for being blasted lie with him.

[Schpittfeuer]

Not sure if I like or dislike tsunderes

[The Green One]

Just think of them like a super spicy meal. It's an acquired taste that not everyone necessarily has. Some people enjoy that rich spicy flavor, others can get burned by it, no right or wrong side in regards to it.

As for the transformed Glenn scene, yeah even Glenn admitted in his thoughts how pathetic it was for a teacher to steal their student's food through trickery. Poor guy was hungry enough to be at risk from blacking out so clearly he was desperate, so I can understand why he couldn't resist doing it, despite knowing it was wrong. Still Sistina overreacted, I could justify slapping him but blasting him off Team Rocket style with magic is overboard, could of seriously injured him, especially in his half starved state if it wasn't for the Anime Trope of slapstick comedy protecting him.

[xeviouses]

So basically, you're not you when you're hungry, grab a Sni-*ahem*sandwich.

[Newprimus]

What kind of mental processes went through the translators' heads to come up we Re=L?

I don't have enough faces or palms to do all the facepalms needed to do this justice.
