Oh NOOOOO!!!!

Spoiler for ep 13:

they didn't bother to explain Miyuki's magic in Ice Pillars Break, what a bummer

[rladls2121]

It is too hard to understand.
It feels like nothing happended.
Just time, passing by.

Morisaki Shun and "weed".

[Kikimaru]

Wow!! they left a lot of thing unexplained....but still i'm enjoying it

[pampz21]

Another boring episode as always~

[Hiss13]

No tension. None whatsoever. Geez...and I thought that the anime could sate me since the LNs pretty much turned me away early on but no. Even in other series where you know the MC and his/her team would win something there was always some form of tension. But no.

The entire arc seems to always have the following in each episode:
1. At least 1 boring 'match' where First High School shows off
2. The obligatory 'someone blushing over Tatsuya' moment
3. The obligatory 'Tatsuya is such an amazing engineer/so badass' moment
4. The moment that's supposed to build tension but really doesn't
5. Some sort of exposition that flies over the audience's head
For Bonus Points: A Miyuki is the most beautiful thing ever moment

Seriously...please start putting in some damn tension here...

I'd actually argue they portrayed it well enough visually that it didn't need any explanation.

Also, that music that played during her battle. I want.

6.The obligatory Miyuki whining to Tatsuya because of things concerning Tatsuya moment.

[Kaengel]

Damn, it's actually getting difficult to stay awake.

[rladls2121]

Tatsuya and Miyuki's family is, well, I wish them at least not try to go to path of bloodshedding road.

[Wandering Soul]

This episode really was just a good for time to pass by for me. Even I couldn't feel any tension from this ep.

[bietchie11]

Honoka is really really cute in this episode.
Her experession are diverse.
She is the type of character who is more compatible with anime than LN.

Oh yeah, that "fashion show" is hilarious.
And Miyuki's black sailor uniform? ME GUSTA!!!!

Still don't understand why people can't appreciated the pub stomping?
Why can't they feel the joy when the less-talented ones cry in frustration?

[rladls2121]

What is really gold is that lot of female students, surrounding Tatsuya, complimenting Tatsuya, wanting him to be their engineer who take cares of their satisfaction.
That one female student blantantly wanting Tatsuya to be a engineer for her to taking care of her CAD is just.

Masaki deducing it was an engineer that made First High succeed, he might expose Tatsuya's skills as the engineer Third High feared of First High inevitable first place winning spot.

NO!

IT is not enough!!!

They doesn't show the heat generated from the cold area and vise versa.

They 2 area just appear!!! That's a failure right there.

It is gold, isn't it?

That kid takes it too much personal. He should get a life and get laid like Tatsuya.

Now you can understand a little how Mayumi fans feel.

I understood but Mayumi's fans tried to convince me other wise

[karice67]

Once again people, (specifically, bietchie11 and Echizen777) please take references/allusions to the LNs to the anime/LN comparison thread.

Seemed straightforward to me. When objects cool, they contract, and when they heat up, they expand. For example, if you heat up a piece of glass, it becomes slightly bigger than it was. Then, if you try to cool it very quickly, the outside cools first, causing it to contract, while the inside is still hot and expanded. The tension between these can cause something to crack. The thicker it is, the longer it takes the center to change temperatures, so it's more likely to crack. And with something as thick as a pillar, its easy to see how/why it broke so quickly.

[IceHism]

Inferno combined with niflheim looked so cool.
That was a fun watch
