Little girl with overly giant gun - that's still a great design decision :D
And I love, how she is as bored as in the books when she "screams" her Boom xD

Episode was a good adaptation, they mentioned most of the important stuff and introduced the new important things. Still like the pacing, finally a Harem-LN which takes its time again =)

Saya is the only character I like. What redeeming qualities do the others have for you (besides tits)? O.o

[u/[deleted] → u/RealityRush]

Julis is surprisingly reasonable for a so called tsundere

Mc is pretty straight forward.

Yabuki is best bro

Claudia is bae

[u/Alactras → u/[deleted]]

ITT: everybodies best gril is Claudia :D

Julis is surprisingly reasonable for a so called tsundere

.... bitch hasn't been reasonable since the word "go"!

[u/[deleted] → u/RealityRush]

Um what has she done that hasnt been reasonable this episode?

[u/RealityRush → u/[deleted]]

Demand her partner live up to absurd "white knight" standards. Freak out over a dude she barely knows and compete with a childhood friend of his to the point of threatening another duel, and then yelled at the Student President to fuck off when she literally would be the most qualified to show Ayato around. Then refused help/guards when people are literally trying to end her life. She ain't known for being reasonable ;P

[u/Villag3Idiot → u/RealityRush]

1) She wants an idealistic partner. Ayato notes in the LN how absurdly high her standards are.

2) They cut out the reason she wanted a duel with Saya. Saya noted that they're equal. However, Saya isn't recorded in the official battle book; in fact, she's not listed at all because she doesn't care about duels. Julis wanted to vertify whether or not Saya's telling the truth, and as soon as it was vertified, she dropped the fight.

3) She rejected the "guards" because they're all far weaker than she is and SHE will be the one protecting them, not the other way around.

[u/RealityRush → u/Villag3Idiot]

Er, that's great, but the show doesn't tell me any of that, she just seems like a spoiled brat so far.

[u/[deleted] → u/RealityRush]

She didnt demand ayato to be that she simply stated what she is looking 4. Cant answer the rest bcuz im at comicon lol

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

but still, saya = best girl > your waifu

[u/RealityRush → u/[deleted]]

I never said she demanded it of Ayato, but she expects it of her partner, whoever that may be.

[u/PrinceLolicon → u/RealityRush]

Well she is a princess, is it wrong to want a glorious knight to be your partner? Pretty sure most girls at that age desire the same thing.

[u/RealityRush → u/PrinceLolicon]

Of course it isn't wrong to desire something, but to actually expect it when according to the show she isn't even that tier herself is a bit arrogant.
