Sophie and Ouma's relationship has really been developing in these past few episodes. Not sure how I feel about that.

It seems like the show really has a thing for cosplays as we get more of that this week and fan service. I bet Ouma secretly likes it Muetta and Mirasa make their move again and I think Ouma really needs to have his guard up these days. Dude almost died last time. Tense episode imo and that backstab ;o

Seems the princess has a problem picking people who are reliable.
And it got her into trouble.
Well at least things are getting even more interesting.

Wow, that ending. Talk about a nasty backstab.... I wonder what will become of the Princess now.

Solid episode. It seems Sophie and Kennosuke are growing even closer, which is definitely nice to see. And oh yeah, can't forget the nice little cosplay fanservice as well, lmao.

omg I love the opening song so much it really gets me hyped for each episode. Honestly the series hasn't really won me over yet so hopefully the last 10 episodes are really good because with everything that's been set up there should be great potential for this series to finish on a high.

It's slow, and it's good. It's also predictable.

With this, either two things will happen:

1. demon guy will find Yukihime and nurse her back to health, removing her brainwashing
2. the UN will recover her, and interrogate her, also removing her brainwashing as she spends time with Ouma.

Both will reveal the true purpose of the hinge-stones, which is a galactic superweapon capable of constructing a doorway for facilitating instantaneous travel between two points in space, with the purpose of facilitating rapid expansion of the elfidolg empire and bringing closure to the first captive's statement that "the weak will serve the strong" as an attempt is made to subjugate the earth--exterminating those who resist and braingwashing/enslaving the rest.

Of course, this won't actually happen because Yukihime will be restored over episodes 17 and 18, while episodes 19-21 will see the remaining knights of the Elfildolg long range scout group make their respective assaults on the UN base. Episode 21 specifically will most likely end in the successful retrieval of the hinge-stone by the scouting group as well as the death of at least one character. Episode 22 most likely be downtime as the characters mourn and Elfildolg makes its final preparations for the full-scale invasion of earth. Episodes 23 and 24 will most likely be a hopeless battle as Efidolg forces flood onto earth; expect reports that the US has been subjugated/surrendered within hours to give a sense of how nasty it all is. Episode 25 will most likely be a final battle, with Yukihime riding in as the cavalry on Longarm/Lion in a last, desperate, attempt to destroy the gate, which will succeed, but with the death of either Yukihime, Ken, or both as a result.

I knew she was a backstabbing bitch. Now what would happen to Yukihime? I'm sure she'll survive.

Good to see Sophie getting more screentime. She's so cute. And getting some fanservice is good.

Mirasa wants all the glory to herself now, since she stabs Yukihime. I see her getting killed off soon...

As for Yukihime, I'm sure she'll be recovered by either the demon guy or the UN. whoever saves her though, they'll probably remove the brainwashing and hopefully return her original memories again, although whether she can be close to Ken once more looks highly unlikely right now.

Speaking of Ken, he and Sophie her getting along really well. It's nice of him to cheer her up after her underwhelming performance in the GAUS simulator. However, Sophie was spot on when she criticised Ken for his vision of 'loyalty' for Yukihime.

Overall, a very good episode, and the 2nd OP is better than the 1st OP. =)

Pink haired efidolg girl nearly got an heart attack when Princess got hit and sunk into water.
Acts reliefed once she gets up again.
Once they are somewhat safe she stabs her.

Im not gonna say out of character but im gonna say weird.

PS: Just noticed the score to this anime. why is it this low? Usually every shitty show gets over 7 here on mal.

What was the purpose of cosplay excursion? We didn't learn anything new, there was no character development. Am I missing something?
Only reason I can see outside obvious one (fanservice) was to get Yukina away from the base.

To be honest this B plot was disappointing. It was way to elaborate and was to long for something that doesn't resulted into anything important.

So what do they call that "ability" suit does earlier? Force Parachute? And the blade that cut through iron and doesn't affected by water. Damn I really want those futuristic tools. LOL
I believe Marina-chan will have better mood IF Kennosuke coming along with them. But knowing that on the other side Kennosuke have a fine free-chat with Sophie. It's just difficult to determine which one is better.
BUSTED!!!

enjoyable episode as usual but that camera guy should died ASAP!
that backstab at the end of the episode tho....didn't see that coming tbh. nice act bitch lol xD

looking foward to the next episode... :D

I hope Ouma will convince the princess that she can live with them. After this episode, I wonder which one between Ouma and Yukihime have been brainwashed.

Also, where are the sympathizers/traitors? It's been a bit too humans vs. aliens.

Episode interesting in the end, the narration captures two birds with one stone, carrying on the main plot and doing also advance the subplots. Scenarios excellent, ditto for the designs and animations. It's catchy soundtrack. Mirasa that bastard!

I like the clashing characters between Sophie and Borden- the differences b/t them makes good drama. When Kennosuke said "I do not trust you with my life", that was the highlight of this episode.
The cosplay stuff is so boring, it brings down the entire series.
I like the freedom theme this has. The conversation b/t Ken and Sophie was good but could it have been in a better location?!?!
Oh no the princess! hahaha this is in line with the pink villain- shes too ambitious but the princess seemed to really care for Pink so it was a true betrayal (but she should have seen it coming)

After the festival episode we now get a cosplay one? Really?

Somehow the alien invaders are only able to send a 2-man team. They continue to underwhelm, but I guess you only need 2 to make it past the laughable security.

And of course Sophie isn't going home somehow even though she is still a child and really has no say in the matter.

I'm really not enjoying this show so far tbh but I want to see how it ends.
Mirasa is cute at least.
This show treats women so poorly. Most of them are just sexualized or brushed off and degraded.

During their entry into the UN facility, Muetta breaks the neck of the worker and this will probably be irrelevant later, hmm... 🤔
