Judging from the titles, Claire would probably rather be whipped than do the whipping.

Obviously spoiler[some one else is just using the name. The real one needs to beat his imposters.]

Should have gone with "onii-chan," Kamito. You know you wanted to!

I wonder if spoiler[Scarlet is truly dead? It's a little hard to imagine Claire without] her fiery whip.

Anime really will use any excuse to insert spoiler[a loli] into the proceedings, won't it?

I did chuckle when he hesitated after she asked whether she should call him spoiler[Onii-chan.]

Episode 3

Only the third episode and the spoiler[main heroine has lost her cute fire kitty, and will now fall into the dark side]. Also shock, main character spoiler[apparently is Ren Ashbell], I guess this means that the one spoiler[he is being tasked to take down is a fake, who is probably trying to awake him to his dark side]. I will presume the lady we have seen spoiler[in flashbacks with Ren is the spirit that he keeps covered by a glove].

After watching the episode and listening to what some of the lyrics for the end song are, I think this show might have a serious spoiler[knee-high sock] fetish. At least Est is better than Fi.

The knee-sock thing is unique to Est. However she dominates the popularity polls so she's going to get special treatment like that.

I wonder if her socks are supposed to represent her hilt. A blade would truely be naked if its tang was exposed, hense her embarassment.

In the opening her hands turn into her hilt. It is possible the socks represent her scabbard. That she is opposed to showing a "naked blade" in public.

She doesn't have a scabbard, though.

Represents as in symbolic, not real. When she is transformed of course the blade is naked and a scabbard is not necessary. I assume it goes the same place her clothes do. If she were willing to remain a blade while not in use, she would need a scabbard.


I suspect we are overthinking the whole thing. Fun to speculate though.

No, he should have went the whole celestial path and went with being called spoiler["princess".] I just laughed at my own joke, totally feel like Misaka Imouto.

Episode 5

My opinions thus far, it is not breaking any ground, but it is meeting expectations, and it is actually being a rather good example of what it is, I am interested. Damn those tsunderes let spoiler[their pride get in the way despite both obviously wanting to join up].

Gotta give Kamito props for seeing through their tsundereness. Well, when it doesn't involve their feelings for him, anyways.

I have quite the soft spot for Rinslet, and I must admit a big part of that is because she reminds me of Cecilia.

Kamito's freaking hot. It's rare to find a MC THIS bishounen in a harem series. I confess that I'm watching this for him and his UST ship with Claire.

I regret nothing. Razz
