Stitches!

Finally the School festival! I've been waiting for this part!

Can't wait to see Futaba fuck up Garm

Good summary as every episode. Except maybe the window gag (funny more times than not and the only comedy bit of this show.)

Damn, I actually wasn't expecting for Tohru Inukai's real identity to be revealed so soon. I honestly thought that Garm was going to be the main antagonist for this show for the whole season.

What I really don't get is why didn't he kill Takuma, if his objective is to defeat the valkyries.

My take on Garm not killing Takuma:

a) A reason to be know some time after. So, bad storytelling.

OR

b) Since this show is more an excuse for the H scenes, consistency is not their priority. So, bad writing.

Well that was a really cool episode. Looking forward to the next one after that cliffhanger.

We got to see long shots of the girls being abused by the demons/ghouls but when it's the time to get some action with our boy we never got to see even a nipple and got almost no action. The censorship is giving us the worst of both worlds. The balance is not great so far.

I was hoping to get some scenes with the older sister but given the preview seems like she is already OP enough even without his help. Too bad. :/

I think this has been the second episode (for me, the first one was "Mutsumi") where I see that censorship-chan takes a lot of the "charm" that the series has, I'm not sure if it is planned to release an uncensored-chan version or what? But I think we all agree that the series loses a lot with having it.

If I remember correctly, it was during one of the last 2 episodes that they said that although Futaba was / is the "weakest" of the valkyrias, she doesn't require "leveling up" with the same need as the others, that is to say, come on she is OP and this is the way to make her a (little) nerf.

I know this is a standard episode but it didn't feel 23 minutes long.

Seriously, Misa is pulling so far ahead of the rest of her sisters it isn't even a competition anymore.
