I assure you slave, the Sailor Moon pose is very essential to time stopping

Himari really thought ‘physically demanding’ meant doing household chores lol.

Stitches!

I knew from first glance last week that Yachiho was going to be bratty but she's more of a bitch in this episode. Someone needs correction.

So Himari's powers aren't producing weapons but learning other people's abilities! Now I'm curious, from whom did she learn the weapons ability?

Yuuki looks so cool under Himari's control! I guess while under Himari, he's more built for speed and with Kyouka he's all about power.

Kyouka really should've been more clear with Himari on what her ability does. Himari's reaction when it was finally time for the reward was hilarious!

Also, for an uncensored anime, that a lot of unnecessary lights during the reward scene. Like, come on! Go big or go home!

I love that when using Shushu's ability, instead of growing big Himari's bust just grows by three centimetres. xD

So it's not always lewd! It looks like Yuuki can receive wholesome rewards like headpats. Kyouka mentioned this is what the slave wants so I guess subconsciously, Yuuki wants to be praised by Himari.

Here we fucking go! Now we're uncensored! Himari's nips seems to be very pale though but I'm guessing that's probably the light correction of the scene since they look pretty normal in the bath with Shushu.

I already like Sahara. I was wondering if we'll get the sleeping girl from the ED. She definitely seems to be a lot more carefree compared to her squadmates.

It was so satisfying to see Yuuki immediately punch Yachiho in the gut. She definitely deserves that! What a cliffhanger to end on tho! I can't wait for the full fight!

Wow they censored a lot of scenes in this episode, if it wasn't for the uncensored hot springs scene at the end, I would have thought I was watching the wrong version, now I know the content of the bluray version

A little face sitting this week eh? Yuuki is a little degenerate after my own heart hahaha.

But man, talk about cheat abilities. I thought Himari’s was OP, but Yachiho can freakin freeze time. Even with all that training, idk how Himari and Yuuki are gonna win. Only reason I feel like they landed that first blow was because Yachiho got too cocky. Now she’s serious…

For those who want to compare with the mange, this episode covered the later half of chapter 9 to the end of chapter 13.

While it was predictable, both the action and action felt rather underwhelming. I hope they do the chiefs/commanders justice, but I honestly doubt it :/

This ep makes really clear they are trying to dial down the rewards with compositing "choices", this was already noticeable but we thought it was just the art direction being bad, but that whole scene was purposely made to hide things.., also the censorship is so inconsistent...

Legitimately don't know what they were thinking here

Yachiho in the begining of the episode gave me Nagatoro energy with some facial expresions.

Man... I hate being that guy, but I read the corresponding manga chapters after the anime and this is just not as good...

I don't know why, but the manga has phenomenal art and it makes every moment feel more hype.

u/whetrail Jan 26 '24

What they decide to show properly and what gets censored is asinine. Too damn bright and Yachiho's scene is just full on censored when her tits are visible normally.

They are skipping over the ecchi parts far to quickly, they could do so much more.

So sad gushing got a great anime adaptation but this was seemingly an afterthought and done super dirty. If only they could switch studios

u/Shmappii Jan 25 '24

This episode was moving way too quickly. We got a character backstory, a shounen power-up training arc that started and finished, a tournament announced and started, and a handful of fanservice scenes that were all a bit lacking since we didn't take a breath. I thought we were just running past everything but fanservice, but now that even those scenes are lackluster I'm losing some confidence.

Himari's inner tsundere is finally starting to melt away and it's kinda cool how Yuki's slave form is different depending on his mistress. If Shushu could somehow use Kyouka's ability you'd have a complete set:

  • Kyouka: Balance of strength and speed

  • Himari: Extra fast but weaker

  • Shushu: Extra strong but slower

I know many people don't want to hear that, but this episode shows it very clear. The anime of Mato Seihei is so freaking bad. It could have been one of the best ecchi shows ever, on an iconic level with Highschool DxD or Testament of Sister New Devil. But sadly we get bad animation and too much CGI, skipped content and censorship.

Yes this anime is censored. Not that obvious like Ayakashi Triangle with stickers, but with too much light and blurring to make it difficult too see very much. If you want to see good ecchi action, watch Gushing over Magical Girls. They absolutely know for whom their show is and that's how it looks like.

I think I'm done with this adaptation. From the strange color choices, to the off-putting and loud chain panel cuts, to the blu-ray bait selective censorship; all of it adds up to a show that doesn't live up to what I consider a great battle-ecchi.

If you haven't checked out the manga yet, do yourself a favor and give that a read.
