----------------------------------------
It looks like they're getting into the more serious parts of this show. That Valery guy also seems to have some interest in Sakura? I don't trust him though.

Not bad for the action but I'm still trying to get used to the CGI. Valery is definitely someone to keep an eye on for this season.

Valery, Leyla and Klara were designed by illustrator Mika Pikazo.

They were designed for the anime, and do not appear in the source game.

I honestly wonder if this whole thing has just been a cover up from the Russian team to just take over the world or something. Because it honestly feels like there is more to their plans than meets the eye.

Why was Layla wearing that mask when she didn't show any sings of being burnt or hurt in any way? He said they became like that because they were hurt.

Its most often the red heads who let themselves get out of control and ruin things. Wonder what they going to do about there demon magnet. Something also suspect with that crystal the Moscow dude retrieved. I suspect the masked person senses some dodgy business going down.

The Moscow Revue makes its "red carpet" entrance with Captain Valery, he's definitely that suspicious character right from the get-go.

As for the demon magnet Klara, she's the source of business for nefarious plans.

And the Moscow members are as strong as they say, very OP and overwhelming against the Imperial Revue. More than not, Hatsuho's ego and pride destroyed in that moment.

More to come...

Nice action fighting fast godzilla. lol that captain. Quite a few obvious mysteries are brewing from team Moscow, sounds like demon enhanced powers there, and somehow Klara attracts demons.
Well they lost partly from Hatsuho's poor team play, but also their mech weapons appear weaker than what Moscow showed.

Not just attract, but Klara also can sense if the demons are coming.

Which also suggests the Moscow team somehow are involved with the Demons and they have powers related to Demons (hence the increased powers when their eyes grows red)

And probably why they know exactly where the demon's weakness is and aim right for it.

Also... fast Godzilla = American Godzilla (smaller than original Godzilla but faster like a rapter)

This episode did not really excite me, the narrative was too telegraphed and its evolution was already clear. However, I am still interested in seeing what will happen in the future. Not bad the quality of the CG and the animations. The mechanical design of the Moscow troop is beautiful. I like the soundtrack, especially the opening.

It's pretty pointless to show how strong the Moscu team is compared to the protagonists when as far as we know they're super weak. They beat some mobs in episode 1, couldn't beat 5 on 1 a robot in episode 2 and were completely useless agaisnt the first real enemy.
Might give this one last chance because this couldn't be more cookie cutter.

Well ,if you play the game , you know how strong the team is . They win the tournament and save the world while Moscow lose right at first round .

The anime show that , the team morale affect their ability to fight and the important of their Male captain which i remember in old sakura war they explain the male is require to balance the Ying and Yang in spirit

I haven't so i don't care. Each iteration has to stand on it's own or it's poorly written.

WTF now they changed Azami into a ranged unit!? She didn't attack like that in the game! Guess her high-count combo strikes were too hard to animate for this studio, huh.

And the fact that 5 of them weren't able to take down that one big guy when in the game they were dropping them left and right is dumbfounding. Did whoever is directing this even take a look at the game before starting?

Also it's very disappointing that the producers for this franchise decided to completely give up on steampunk aesthetic. I mean, those Moscow spirit armors looked like freaking aliens straight outta Warframe, firing lazors and shit. Their mothership too. Once again, is the studio aware that this is supposed to take place in 1930's Japan??

Yep, this and Leyla's red eye were totally not suspicious at all. It's like the writers for this anime are completely oblivious to the concept of subtlety.

If i remember correctly this explanation was provided in 2000 anime which was it's own thing and is not canonical to the games, so i really don't think this is the case here.

What do you even mean by that? So if this anime, which is a direct sequel to the game, contradicts it's own prequel, it is not a poor writing in your book?

I have no idea what happens in the game, so i don't know if there's a contradiction and if there is one i don't care. I'm watching this as a standalone anime and it doesn't stand on it's own, that's what i meant.

Dammit Hatsuho, don't go attacking on your own...two times in a row....

There is quite the power difference there between the two teams mostly due to the bad team morale of the japan team
