Ironic ending and sad prediction, even if Claes realized it first and had to slap some sense into poor Angelica.
I hope that the girls don't die, even though it seems only natural...

Wow, if only more episodes were like this one. Though, I have to agree that resemblance really bugged me, I was a little confused at the end. It's pretty easy to see why there would be a second season, shame they didn't just make it 26 episodes or something. I'm still undecided if I'll follow through but chances are eventually I will.
Such junk...

Pretty good ep, maybe even the best one so far. Also I kinda feel sorry for Angelica...

This is the best episode in the series. Lots of action for this show. I love the serious tone and this is definitely one of my favorite animes. I wish it was 26 episodes too. Too short. I am aware there is a sequel, but still. This anime was too short.

Poor Angelica, though her grim prediction doesn't sound too far fetched.

Yah... Poor girl though. it seems only 2 of them gets treated well and the ones that seem to not do well get the worst treatment from the handelers.

im unsure as to why ange just doesn't seem to improve even though she seems to be training just as much as the others.. or are her cyborg parts just not working correctly i remember her doing that test with the rope and her dislocating her arm and they said that she wasn't reaching maximum potential.. but yeah she is starting to become a liability

nice action too despite her clumsiness, only one more to go, but will definitely be picking up the second season asap!

Really great episode and that ending sure was dramatic so I really wonder what the last episode of this first season will offer us!

It was actually Claes who was doing the arm implant stregnth tests. The agency decided to use her for tests instead of getting rid of her once her handler was silenced.

Well the girls are eager to prove themselves useful to their handlers. Angelica has been neglected and treated coldly by Marco so I won't be surprised if she ends up like Elsa.

I think its kinda unfair that marco treats Angelica so crappy. I understand hes frustrated that she keeps messing up but hes gatta remember its not her its the fact that her memory keeps getting wiped away so all she learns doesint stick fully. that ending gave a dark outcome hint.

Marco can be a bit more like Giuse, he's going to end up like Lauro otherwise.

This is the best episode so far. The action and drama is too instense. Is the bomb maker woman who leaked out the info? I feel bad for ange but she should have listen to the orders so she wouldn't hurt. Claes said that she is not a wheat, does it mean she acknowledge that she might get died at that operation?

"We're all going to die"
Well that goes for the handlers as well

I don't know what is Angelica is thinking tbh
I feel bad for Marco, he went from a gentle happy person to like that
I wonder how many disappointments he gets to become like that

I want to know why Marco treated Angelica so coldly now, he used to be nicer to her

I wonder about the significance of the painting the chief was looking at. The scene but a great deal of focus on it. Every episode seems to have an art reference of some kind, like the earlier one where they stopped to talk about an old statue. Understanding these references might help glean some additional meaning to the characters' actions.

Angelica is fucking up. And, at this rate, Section 2 might not need to worry about being dismantled from the outside in. With how rocky things are going the organization is bound to implode before much longer.

And, as worried as they were about Claes, she sure did hold her own.

Well Angelica is not wrong with her thinking, I honestly think most of them are better off death with how shitty they are treated by their handlers (like Marco's cold attitude to Angelica this ep).

Angelica continues to deteriorate in her mind, becoming unsteady in training.
Whilst on a mission to save Claes, who was kidnapped, Angelica disobeys orders nearly getting killed.

"We're all going to die" is an absolutely pointless comment by Angelica.
They would be all dead already if it wasn't for the agency, and we're all going to die regardless, anyway.

I also find this whole "Section 2 is in danger" thing nonsensical, since they've basically completed all of their missions sucessfully with minimal damages/casualties and in this last one they destroyed a terrorist hideout, killed dozens of them and saved the life of the senator's daughter. The anime is creating drama out of thin air. At least make it coherent...
