RAW's up on Nyaa, and since there's no discussion post yet I'll provide my thoughts on BorN 07 here.

First of all, those eyecatches Kuroka-chan sure is flexible

Was I the only one who really didn't like the cosplay scene (and the ensuing scene with Rias and Ise)? It just didn't feel right to me and the design of Akeno's breasts at one scene looked way off. Probably because of the angle, but animation's been really off the entire season so I won't complain.

Mid-episode cutscene with a mysterious villain, Creuserey or Shalba? Likely Shalba.

The Old-Maou faction magic circle looked really, really cool...and then you see the devils themselves. Why is TNK under the assumption that every Devil who isn't a part of the main cast doesn't look normal? It's a similar thing with the FAs and Angels. And what happened to "hundreds and hundreds of Old-Maou faction Devils"? That was badly shown.

How Diodora "captured" Asia gave me bad flashbacks to her "death" in S1. Unnecessary fanservice though I guess it's justified since Diodora's such a pervert.

Diodora's VA is already doing a really great job of playing the villain, I'm impressed. And those eyes make him all the more... devilish?

The Rating Game location's design is definitely different from the LN, and Gungnir looks like a banana...cannot unsee ;_;

Kuroka was fantastic this episode, and the scene with Vali was well done. So that's how they're introducing her goal to have strong children... (unless I misinterpreted the reactions)

Odin was perfect this episode. Even if his scene against the Old-Maou faction was nerfed, his scene with Akeno was pure perfection. As was the part where he hit Ise over the head

Subs might explain it, but how is Azazel speaking to all of them without a communication magic circle in sight? They're not even wearing the earpieces from the LN. Azazel also looked too nonchalant about this, I was hoping we'd get the scene where he talks about using his own life as payment if they were killed.

Balance Breaker countdown explanation next episode please? Otherwise it'd look fucking stupid to have him not immediately go BB right then and there.

Azazel's rocket arm was just... I don't even know what to say about that. It was hilarious.

I'm happy that we got the kiss with Xenovia scene, but why did he freak out? It seems like they're getting in all the comedic harem tropes this season because from S4 on it's serious harem stuff.

8.5/10 from me, looking at the preview next episode should be Freed and Diodora's servants (plus Bilingual's official debut hopefully), the beatdown with Diodora, and then end with Asia's disappearance which would make it 2 weeks from now that we'll get JD and Great Red/Ophis (FINALLY).
