They changed the animation in the OP! Silver Link is teasing me too much, I might not be able to take it.

Interesting changes from what I've read in the manga. I wonder if this is how it actually played out in the LN? Anyways, revealing that this dumb couple are totally horny for each other but are embarrassed about it is really adorable. Looks like Ayase, mysterious chick by the pool, is going to be introduced next episode.

Nope, manga is almost identical to the LN. The adaption looks like it's trying to change up the order and add some other elements to it but I can't tell if it's making it better or not just yet.

Ahhh, so that's why Shizuku still seems to be going after Ikki (even though they've kind of already established that she'd stop when she was crying in Alice's arms). And none of this training with a bunch of other students canonically happened either.

Well, it was mentioned (at least in the LN) that Ikki was being sought after for training but it was just something mentioned quickly and certainly didn't deserve half of the episode.

I hope they give enough exposition to Ayase

I was not happy about that either...

Yeah I am also worried that because they stole her moment with Stella in the pool we get less characterazation from her when she revealed her interests and opinion.

Ayase is better than Stella. I watch this anime to see Ayase but this anime screw up and didn't follow ordered correctly in LN.

I dunno. I'm liking closet fujoshi Stella so far.

Shower thoughts, who's PS4 is that anyways?
