Gakusen Toshi Asterisk - The Asterisk War: The Academy City on the Water

It's always so bloody annoying when the heroes are perfectly dancing to the tune set by the villain and are thus only relying on their main character status to get out of trouble. Nothing else really to say about this episode. The fight was laughable. How on Earth did those two manage to get all the way up to the semifinal? They were far weaker than people who dropped out earlier.

I would have forgiven a lot in this episode if when asked about the missing Ser-Versta by his opponent, Ayato had given a straight answer and told some miserable, cowardly scumbag kidnapped a friend of a friend and is blackmailing him, so he can't use the weapon.

If the winners of the competition are entitled to some kind of a considerable wish/request, and Ayato wished for an investigation about his (tyrannical) sister's disappearance, the city can't do nothing, even if they want to cover things up. After all, if they don't produce any results and simply tell they couldn't find out anything, it means Ayato's prize was totally null. In such a case the future festas will have lesser participants as everybody will know the prize isn't anything special after all. Quite a dilemma for the city.

Although to be honest this show is so stupid that I reckon his request might even be totally forgotten and never mentioned again, and eventually he will just find his sister on his own. Plus since this a Japanese story, everybody's always so bloody polite that there's only one in a million chance Ayato would go kicking some asses if they don't produce results.

Unspecified wishes as prizes are retarded anyway.

I don't even remember who that miasma girl is, but I guess she's somebody significant. At least her power is. They better equip gas masks when they face her the next time.

It seems to me the brother's proposition was denied because neither wanted to trouble the other. Ayato saw it as something Julis would need to accept as a part of politics, Julis saw it as something that would bind an outsider, Ayato, to the oppression in her home country. Julis, being a tsundere, won't be running out of excuses any time soon. But if she takes too long, Ayato will be snatched away from a childhood friend, student council president, an indebted swordswoman, the idol of a rival female academy, or any number of other girls.

You didn't specifically include Saya in that list while naming everyone else ("any number of other girls" doesn't count).

How dare you ignore Saya.

The Cornelia is great. I would love some sort of spin-off series exploring her underground political life with our Shadow Star friend.

I am just hoping that Flora magically disappears from the series. She makes my ears bleed when she talks.

Huh? Isn't Saya a childhood friend?

Oh. Right.

You're forgiven.
