Ouch credit card swipe from hell. Good episode, but I still haven't seen any thing to blow me away.

Despite the fact that we saw it in the episode preview, that card swipe was brutal.

This show is still lethargic, but I get the feeling it'll pick up once some of these other characters are properly introduced.

Good episode, but can't believe Kirika got careless. At least their leader Balsan showed so resilience in the end.

Mireille showed that while she's not as agile compared to Kirika. I actually think she's the more experience and professional one since she doesn't relax until she actually escape safely from her mission.

Shame the soldiers didn't though a girl could be an assassin. Anyone can be an assassin nowadays.

Can't wait for the next episode!

This show is going nowhere. It wouldn't matter if the action was better.

Pretty okay episode. Also it's so odd why they don't add some blood on clothes or splats on the floor/wall near the characters. Seems like it isn't a problem if it's anywhere else other than people or near them

The voice playing in the soundtrack while Kirika was assassinating Balsan was pretty weird. There is also another mysterious character related to the Soldats. Other than that there's really not much else to say, this was an average episode and a bit of a step down from the last.

My understanding is that the blood from wounds was either turned way down or eliminated entirely for censorship reasons. I think I recall reading that the show was initially to air on a cartoon network, although I can't find the reference right at the moment. Can't have the kiddies getting upset by visible blood, after all.

Apparently a show about assassins for hire was OK.

I have another view that the lack of blood was an artistic choice by the creators. Blood took away from the subtlety of Noir and this stylistically mimicked Film Noir films in the 40s and 50s which showed no blood.
