| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So that's the opening song. It's flashy and has some catchy tunes. Still a lighthearted show but I find the character chemistry between the main cast appealing. I actually also find it appealing that they balance out the storytelling between the school life and their other life as these action heroes. Momo imo is still the most entertaining to watch from the cast. She's just so full of life. |
 |
| The opening is pretty unique... I find it to be pretty good. Momo getting into the Tsukikage now, Yuki's training wasn't that hard but I still liked how Momo got through it, especially in the chasing scene and passed. Great full of motion and cute character acting all around this episode, the soundtrack was beautiful as well. This series is fun. |
  |
| good girls vs bad girls the best combination too bad theres an ugly one XD |
  |
| Momo passed her first challenge by catching Mei. Momo's training seems really hard. Fun episode overall. |
 |
| This series is annoyingly cute. I'm still not completely sold on it, but that's probably because I'm holding this to the expectations that Princess Principal unexpectedly fulfilled. Seeing Takahiro's name in the staff does have me a bit worried about how this series will go. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Opening is really odd at first, but after a second listen it's really catchy. Momo is going through some rough training. Can never let your guard down as a spy, even when you are asleep?! That's harsh! Mei has some moves, she's very quick and light on her feet, damn! Momo did manage to catch her by preperations the day before and she passed the tests! The "bad girls" are not too bad themselves, but damn that one dude... I mean, woman... W/e. Just no! Hey, atleast they drive an Aston Martin. Really loving the James bond vibes from this episode, mostly the ones from the opening. |

| I’m just here for moe yuri |
 |
| Not bad. Not bad at all. |
| Am I the only one who feels that Momo looks too much like Minori from Toradora? |
 |
| I'm not so much into the plot, but the cute girls factor is nice.I |

| Well I'm liking this show and my personal lookout. I hope it will get a bit serious in which I highly doubt it, but nevertheless I like all the girls here and Yuki is still my favorite. I enjoyed the training she dished out to Momo and she is a great mentor, I wished she'd train me. I see also things are starting to move, as the antagonists are making their move. I just love spy anything, books,movies,comics, even light action anime like this... Its on my lookout. |

| - the OP&ED doesnt dat good. - 2 months training you become a proper ninja. - what is this spice actually? a Weed? - i cant beleive that muscular women voiced by hayamin. |
| Now Loading..... |
| Man, I'm really enjoying this one. Can't really trust MAL scores eh? This is really like a livelier version of Princess Principal but both are enjoyable for me. Tirinchas said: Am I the only one who feels that Momo looks too much like Minori from Toradora? Glad to know I'm not the only one. |
| a drug that only affects on bishoujo...interesting |
| Momo training to become One punch man :D well they tried to justify why a spy organization needs to hire teenage girls, the wonder drug only works on them. |

| whats with those totally spies like gadgets.. |
| Whoa, did not expect her training to be intense like that. Oh, and funny when Hanzo said "enemies won't stop attacking you if you tell them your body hurts". xD Looking forward to next week. |

| Quite the catchy OP. The agency's base beneath the shop was quite impressive as was the type of gear that they had access to. Momo's training sure looks tough but pretty interesting in the number of skills that she must learn. Momo's growth was impressive though even more so when faced with Yuki's dramatic expressions and Mei's speed. An interesting episode that did well in revealing the scale of the agency and the training that potential spies go through. Looks like next ep will be Momo's baptism of fire. |

| it's entertaining how over the top this show is, like the crazy huge underground base, the weird gadgets like the hand cream, the masks... i don't think i'd find this show as good if they played it completely serious but as it is now i like it. |
 |
| I find it very enjoyable the series, the characters are very likeable (I'm pro-Goe...xD), the plot is also good made yet, the sounds/OST is as well made. Though, I've the feel that this could mind-dark turn out: because I had even at Iseaki Project so... Seyuu section: But really, how they came to Hayami Saori such an character-host - an muscle-drag queen to give? Since I'm spoiled her in polite roles to find like as Miyuki in Mahouka or an cheeky chara like Shiona in Owari no Seraph - BUT not this...xD! And to Taneda Risa-chan: it's very nice that she finally full back is, that she not only in this, but also in Zombie Saga present is. Like in old days...xD!!! Shizuka Ito-sama, I couldn't image you in an different role as this...xD Edit: At this underground base - especially the meeting room of it, did me always on the of Senran Kagura remember. I had always the feel that somwhere nowhere Asuka appear would...xD |

| Lol, I accidentally watched episode 2 first,.. felt like I missed nothing (>.<) I'll watch episode 1 later. Looks like Japanese Totally Spies with doping. |

| Nice anime, I'll keep watching till the end. Takahiro never disappoints. That OP fits well this show. That saxophones remembers spies series like James Bond. And the vocals remembers cute girls doing spy things, lol. brofistlol said: I didn't get the pun in the name until they explained it I only get that last week.

| What was the point of making the main character a newbie if she caught up in one episode? Just to dump some exposition? |
Nyuu3 said: What was the point of making the main character a newbie if she caught up in one episode? Just to dump some exposition? It took her until summer to fully pass the test since you see their school uniforms change, meaning that she was training for 2-3 months, the same amount of time you would go through boot camp in the military. It's not like she did all that in one week. And while she is one of them now she's still a rookie. She has yet to gain experience as a member of the team. Next episode we'll see how her Yuki's training pays off for Momo. |

DirectorK said: What bothers me is not the in-universe timeline, it's the pacing of the show. You could easily write a whole story out of bringing Momo from an average highschool girl to her current skill level. Then again, if that phase of her spy career isn't interesting to you, you could also skip it. You could just write a story with a protagonist that's somewhat experienced from episode one.It took her until summer to fully pass the test since you see their school uniforms change, meaning that she was training for 2-3 months, the same amount of time you would go through boot camp in the military.

Next episode we'll see how her Yuki's training pays off for Momo. This whole complaint could more or less go out the window depending on how Momo handles the real deal next week, but so far I don't think the show has really played to the strengths of the complete outsider protagonist trope. I can't help but worry if they picked this trope for what it accomplishes or just because they saw it so many times, they stopped questioning it. |

I can't help but worry if they picked this trope for what it accomplishes or just because they saw it so many times, they stopped questioning it. I disagree. If you tried spending the next few episodes or the whole season focusing on Momo's training alone a lot of it is going to end up feeling like unnecessary filler. If they hadn't introduced the potential villains in the previous episode than yes I would agree with you, but now that they have been introduced most of the audience is going to want to see these girls take them on and the sooner the better. I actually really happy with the pace of this episode. They didn't try to rush things like having Momo graduate in five minutes than having facing the villains in the next scene and they didn't try prolong it by having her training be the focus for the next three episodes. They kept it simple and straight to the point. |

| Much better than the first episode. Incredibly much better. I was even surprised that this is a catchy action with cute girls, and not a banal CGDCT. |
 |
| What i see from this episode. 1. Momo trained with Hanzo for 2-3 months, not just 1 week. because we could see they changed their uniform from winter uniform (purple blazer) to summer uniform (white piece). if you do that training menu (10 KM RUN, 100 SQUAT, 200 SIT-UPS, 500 practice SWINGS etc.) EVERYDAY for 2-3 MONTHS, it was enough for me. 2. this series is just 1 cour/ 12 episode. it is fair to make momo training exposition in just one episode. Because we still have 5 other character from tsukikage and 4 other from Moryo for character development. also drama about traitor and how tsukikage vs moryo battle conclude i don't like the idea about traitor because i like all of them as character. but if it just a trap for Moryo, it will make lower expetation for our villain in this series. so i hope they execute this traitor plot well. |
 |
| Nice, episode 1 was meh but this time the potential and depth was there |
| Did I just heard Jashin-chan!?!? Aina Suzuki's voice is becoming more distinct to me! Momo passed the test! nice! 4/5. |
 |
| I mean this is seriously too fast. If it's fast like Occultic;Nine the pacing evolves into a unique aesthetic and works; if it's fast like this it every scene feels half-baked and rushed. I'm not complaining that the plot is too fast; I'm saying that the individual scenes play too quickly and there are not enough necessary transition pauses. Having said that it's quirky and lively so far and I'm liking it overall. Kingsman vibes, anyone? Slightly into Momo x Mei. Not canon it seems, unfortunately. |
| Hmmm. It seems there are a lot of people are complaining about the pacing, especially on how Momo graduated so fast when they didn't notice the simple yet noticeable time skip such as their uniforms changing. But despite that, I believe the pacing is fine. I never thought it's rushed and it seems that plot is fine too. The ridiculous part might be the yuri bait but I thought many people like yuri. It seems MAL is nitpicking so much once again and maybe they want fucking flashy action scenes. |
 |
| Although it is still strange the feeling that I feel when I see this anime, because of the combination of style of design and plot, I liked how serious situations or such, were tempered with sympathy by the characters. Good drawings, ditto for animations and backgrounds. The characters are appreciated for their vivacity and sweetness. |
 |
| Increasingly lewd yuri bait. Keep licking. |
   |
| Momo is trying very hard and she got so much better. |
 |
| The OP pays some homage to Eden of the East Lovin this shit tho... it's like a blast from the past. Momo is a great girl, not a cringy underdog, not secretly overpowered, just has some skills and learns to get more and make better use of them. Watching her go from bumbling to full on ninjutsu practice, doing parkour free runs around the school was awesome! |

| Her training episode is fun to watch. I wonder who's the traitor? |
| I like Momo's training (that was fun to watch) but the pacing is over the place. I would have preferred that this show had been of 24 episodes instead of 12. At least we know more of the spy organization. |

| Oh, it was actually a nice episode, I really enjoyed watching it. The training Momo received, while being very typical, it was entertaining to watch as well. And regarding the OST, despite I found it a bit unfitting for the show in the first episode, I actually found it very nice in this one. Not to mention that the OP song is very catchy.

| Pretty solid development, the pacing is pretty solid I must say! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Decent episode.. |
 |
| Welcome to the Geofront. Wait, wrong anime. The training reminded me of Momo and Yuko from Machikado Mazoku. Nice way to plan ahead. |

| So basically the Spyce releases chemical into your brain...isn't like almost every drugs. I don't really understand why they have to train if they have superhuman abilities. Isn't that above the basics' level. If I have the ability to run at lightspeed, why would I train? I like the Sensei it seems like her and the other characters might have deeper reasons to save people |
