Yea there is a big problem with this episode.

How to put it......they messed up Ayase's character. You see that pool scene was very important to Ayase's character as a whole because well it made her seem more like an average girl who likes boys and likes gossip. Now that specific and only scene is gone for her, there is no other scene to show that. Her complete change of character over the course of the story won't seem that dramatic now. I hope that they are going to do something else for her to make her seem more like an average young girl but I doubt it.

And can we just take two seconds to point out how terrible the character design for Manabe and his goons looked I mean that was just terrible and the fight wasn't as cool either. I got more out of reading the manga then I did with the actual anime episode. Honestly I think the anime would have been better off copying the character design for Manabe from the manga.

Saijou and Renren look awesome though. Can't wait for this fight. Since they are hyping it so much.

This episode wasn't good for me at all.
