Yeah, there are release dates for DVDs/BDs containing 24 episodes in total.

No idea where this is going, because it sure feels like we're right before the final battle. Maybe the second half will be the tournament arc we missed out on :v:

I'm gonna guess they will lose to Origami and the world will get hosed up with aradama everywhere. Can't really think of anything else they could do for 12 more episodes barring some kind off the wall twist.

Really good sword fights this week.

Neat thing you'll probably miss unless you're a robot or going frame by frame: dead mom passes her sword between hands behind her back during her first exchange.

Yeah the final battle was pretty good. Too bad next week is a recap episode. Wonder if there is going to be a new villain or just every-day life type of stuff for the later half, dealing with the aftermath. Maybe they will finally go to school like in the opening (I'm assuming they're walking to school in that one scene).

Unlike other anime made to advertise a mobile game. This anime made to advertise a mobile game actually really good somehow.

I started watching this with my boyfriend as what was supposed to be our seasonal trash anime. I mean with a description that is pretty much "girls in school uniforms fight demons with swords" you could see where one could make that mistake. But it actually tried to tell a story and ended up being somewhat compelling.

We just finished episode 12 and are taking a break until next time. I enjoyed it so far and I hope it doesn't just use that as a setup for monsters of the week or whatever for the second half. Sword fights between people are a lot more interesting

Yeah show's good, it's all about interpersonal drama, though i found the first cour's villain underwhelming in the end because her motivations are imprecise.

I like the conflict being set up in the second cour, where a faction thinks they can remove the entire raison d'etre of the Toji system, without any kind of the creepy undertones setting them up as villains, which feels sorta uncommon for this genre of action stories. You end up rooting for them dismantling the status quo from within.

The mc basically being a fightfreak is sorta amusing when she comes in contact with the average Toji. And she's a nice enough person that she'd be okay hanging up her sword.

I really like part 2 now that they finally explained what's up with the 3 goddesses.

It's funny how bad they are at dealing with humans, especially Ichikishima being so cheerful and enthusiastic about merging humans with aradama while everyone looks on in disgust. I hope we see more of her and Takiri.

its cool how the bad guys are basically meiji era revanchists but cmon protagonist side, put out the security camera footage of tagitsu raiding toji's doing their jobs for magic juice, or the time she and a bunch of brainwashed ayanokouji goons starting a shooting war

they want to do something unexpected and go public and make a big power play, well that's a loving mistake because an opponent can easily counterattack and stove their faces in
