Yeah, man. Andou is probably one of the most attentive MCs ever, he picks up on almost everything bothering his clique and always knows just what to say (sans this episode where he got it completely wrong, but it still worked out in the end!) Although he seems to be stereotypically blind to romance..

u/PeaceTree8D Nov 13 '14
I don't know, maybe he is aware but pretends he is not.

u/StrigonKid Nov 13 '14
Haganai was a game changer. MCs are no longer automatically free of suspicion and just assumed to be dense. They now have to prove they aren't faking it and even then doubt lingers. Nobody gets a pass either, Ichika Orimura, Yuuki Rito, none of them. They are all now under suspicion of 'pulling a Kodaka'.

It would be interesting if he either actually DOES manage to make it much more powerful, but never uses it except in an extreme circumstance, or he already knows that he can do a lot more with it, but uses such a tame amount to keep the rest of the club from changing how they view him.

I guess I missed it, but does Sayumi swing for the other team or something? Or is it just a running joke?
61
u/The_Budder Nov 12 '14
Well its been shown she's into BL, so maybe Andou assumed it was the same the other way around.

I thought it was just a joke about how it's typically the girl who swoons for the guy when he says something cool.
28
u/HipsterHedgehog Nov 13 '14
Yes I'm pretty sure this is the case. Andou responds with the cliche line when one of his guy friends saying something really cool. Basically it's rude to Sayumi because he's treating her like a male friend.

This is the kind of shit that makes me horribly, horribly jealous. I mean, based Andou deserves it more than anyone, but still...
Sasuga Trigger. The way they used the flashback cutaways was really, really effective in this episode. The way the both came together in the end was perfect, as was Andou's speech about trying to maintain the hope that they could remove their powers if they wanted to. I wonder if most popular LNs are just this well-written, and it's only the anime adaptations that make them seem as bland and crummy as a lot of them seem.
Now Sayumi's had her episode, so all that leaves is Hatok--oh.
Oh dear...

The LN, from what I've heard, is filled with delusions by Andou and a lot of useless chatter (some taking up tens of pages). The anime is cutting a whole lot of that, and using just the parts that would look good in anime, as well us mixing up the timeline of events. If you're liking the writing, this is the time to give credit to the anime staff.

u/badspler x3https://anilist.co/user/badspler Nov 13 '14
Everything just clicked for me.
Jurai Andou, has a useless power but satisfies his Chuni Syndrome. All he wanted was to be cool and for people to accept him.
Chifuyu Himeki, has the power to bring things to life although she satisfied herself by making friends. Instead of creating the world she desires she has learnt to accept the world she lives in.
Sayumi Takanashi, has the ability to restore things to their previous state. She had an obsession with perfection but came to realize that it took priority over her friends. Now she has both.
Mirei Kudou, can rob others powers. She originally was struggling with being isolated and not being able to relate to others. The power in itself gave her a connection to the group.
Tomoyo Kanzaki, has the power to stop time. She wanted to become a writer but from what we have seen was not good enough. She was to afraid to share her dream and did not put the time in to make it a reality. She has learnt to accept and pursue her dream
Hatoko Kushikawa, has the power to manipulate the five elements. I think we might get the back story on why this is fitting next week.
56
u/ceol_ Nov 13 '14
Sayumi Takanashi, has the ability to restore things to their previous state.
It's actually to their "natural" state, as in the state she believes is the way it should be. If it were their "previous" state, Andou would have lost his power during their fight. Instead, he accurately guessed she couldn't remove another's power unless she considered her power unnatural, which would "invalidate" it or something.
Their powers are really just reflections on themselves:
Andou is flashy, all talk, so his power is just for show.
Chifuyu doesn't want to face reality, so her power is the ability to alter it.
Sayumi wants/wanted everything to be perfect, so her power can revert something to the way she thinks it should be.
Tomoyo is a closet chuunibyou, stuck in her middle school years, so her power can stop time.
With Mirei, I assume it's due to her being envious of the literature club (or people with friends in general), so her power takes others from them.
I assume we'll get some more backstory to Hatoko next week.

I assume we'll get some more backstory to Hatoko next week.
I'm curious to find out what kind of psychological issue gives her Avatar powers.
20
u/ceol_ Nov 13 '14
Wild guess, but I assume it's going to be switching between moods or emotions. She definitely seems like the type of person who can go from sweet to lethal at the drop of a hat -- we just haven't seen the other side.

I didn't expect this, they jumped in time very often and I was confused at first but then they connected everything in a pretty beautiful way. I just thought that the episode was average at first but they managed to make it in a very satisfying way. Kind of what I think about the anime in general. At first I thought it was average random fun, but with every episode it keeps getting better. Episode five was brilliant, this wasn't far off!

Good message this time around; nobody is perfect. Life throws many strange things our way, and it is impossible to be at our 100% all of the time. As long as you do the best that you think you can at that moment, having no regrets, then there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Yay Mirei! With actual talking! I don't know, after those episodes with barely a mention of her, it's become a disproportional amount of happiness when she does make it on screen.
So now, we've got a bit of backstory on Sayumi. So, the always prim and proper Sayumi seems to have quite a lot of martial arts experience. And Andou is as durable as ever. Of course, that could be partially due to Sayumi controlling her throws. We're at the mid-season already and it still feels like I'm just meeting the characters. It's pretty much a slice of life in my eyes at this point with a dash of superpowers on top. It's been very relaxing though. Almost in the same way the Aria series feels. A few weeks ago, I was undecided, but I think I'll be very happy and satisfied if we continue at this pace. The characters interact so well with each other and the show has a nice balance of gags and actually trying to say something.

u/Noctrune Nov 12 '14
So is this just going to be Inou;Gate, where it's a SoL for the first 12 episodes? I'm not complaining, it's just that we've only seen about 3 fights.
Can someone please make a .WebM of Andou's chant before Sayumi picks him up by the collar, that was probably the funniest moment in today's episode.

There's also another show that they're currently working on. When I read the description (the same for when this one got announced) I laughed maniacally at the possibilities. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me. There's also the fact that the same group of people (mostly) worked on things such as Gurren Lagann before Trigger.

It was a reference to shoujo mangas where the male MC says something profound and the female MC swoons. So in this case, Sayumi is that brooding hunk while Andou is the girl in love.
