Episode 2:

Heh, Shizuku isn't shy at all for kissing Ikki isn't she? And that makes the first on-screen kiss now from what I remember. Too bad that means Stella wasn't the first one now.

Speaking of which, I think she got a bit closer to Ikki this episode...and I do mean that more than just the baths Wink

I like it that while Stella and Shizuku were arguing, Ikki kept staring at Stella's ass. Laughing

Uhh... I feel like I missed something. Ikki and Stella just became roommates in episode 1 and now all of a sudden Stella has feelings towards Ikki. How did she suddenly develop feelings towards him between episodes? I mean it was obvious that she was going to fall for him, but it just felt a bit too sudden and rushed here.

She was showing a pretty clear interest in him in the first episode so it's not like it's coming out of nowhere.

I'd level that criticism at Asterisk, actually...

But a little sister in love with her brother that has ice powers... Hmm...

Yeah she showed interest and then episode 2 starts off "I wouldn't mind sharing an indirect kiss with you" (as in she already knows that she has feelings for Ikki). She barely knows the guy, they've known each other for like a day.

Yeah, I thought that it was also a bit inconsistent how she was suddenly fully wanting to have an indirect kiss with him only after what we saw last week.

And the show pretty much says that it is fully aware of the tired stereotype of non-blood siblings, so it says not to worry about that, and then throws in full on incest anyway. I did find it a little humorous that she was convincing him that it was an okay thing for siblings to do, having the male character actually not be the straight man. And the cat fight level insults they were throwing at each other.

And a little something for his motivation.

I'm really starting to like this show. I haven't really made a full opinion on it yet since there are only 2 episodes out on Hulu.

However, I kind of see elements of a Magical Warfare and Blade Dance of the Elementalers all kind of thrown together. The show is charming in its own kind of way.

Here is to episode 3!

Episode 3:

Another lewd episode and I'm referring more to the action when Stella was fighting.

And we get some weird yandere moments.
This episode was too silly with Stella and Alice. I can't take that Alice guy seriously at all lmao

Not sure if I like that Kirihara guy. He seems to be a bit overconfident with himself...

Ohh hell yeah, I'm getting fired up. Awesome episode. You know, I think Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Kirito) is better at playing a villain than a hero. That Yakin dude is exactly the kind of wacko you don't wanna give a gun to. He just enters a room and randomly sprays his gun all over the place and then shoots his gun in the air in excitement when watching Stella undress Laughing .

Anyway I can't wait for the fight between Ikki and Kirihara.

It seems all protagonists these days have to go up against Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (if they're not voiced by him). It's like some kind of rite of passage.

That sounds like a hell of a porno... Laughing

Great episode! I'm loving Stella more with each passing episode. She's definitely waifu material for some tsundere fans (which is probably 90% of us) and the way she blushes is pretty darn cute too.

I seem to recall one hentai with a bank robbery involving a shotgun being shoved you know where and things got... messy...

I think it was Battle Toads.

Anyways, lucky guy, that Ikki. Gets to go on a date with 3 beautiful girls. Well, it's obvious who he prefers, though.

Of course Kirito comes in at the last second and saves the day, also with harem.

You know, I think you might be right. What else did he play a villain in?...... High School DAnime hyper.

So Alice is a trans? Anime is not exactly having too great a track record with representing them, I am interested in her so far.

In general this is being pretty good, nice animation and character designs.

While not a villain, he was main rival Masaki in Mahouka. Jio from Blade Dance was a pure villain.

Alice is pretty great, as you can see in this episode. Her protrayal is quite respectful, I find.

I forgot about Jio from Blade Dance, he was crazy in that, and it was probably one I was thinking of that I could not quite remember.

Oh, I meant to write "High School DxD" and it came out as "DAnime hyper", just because I made the x a capital.
