----------------------------------------
Dang, business picked up a lot this episode in terms of the action and drama. That fight felt like it had high stakes.

At least Sakura and the others are getting the scope on the important events going on this episode. Felt like this episode brings in concepts that may influence future episodes to come. I'm not sure how to feel about the fight itself though. If anything, this show's action has been underwhelming so I hope at least that improves.

At long last, White Cape (Hakushu Murasame) a.k.a Sakura's master shows herself up at the Imperial Revue HQ to Sakura's surprise, and introductions...not to mention that Sakura is STILL oblivious of her master's true identity.

But the Moscow Revue for all intentions and purposes, keeping Klara at close proximation for spied operations. Not to mention, the Black Cape's presence is still a large counter threat.

The Black Cape's true identity? A mecha-motor transforming human-robot that's solely a tool used by someone sinister for Klara's capture, but yet it looks indestructable. And yet, the Imperial Revue managed to bring it down feat. White Cape.

No matter how we see it, Klara's existence as a demon magnet will always bring terror to anyone close to her (from the beginning), save for the "I will protect" cliche and the immense problems that Sakura and Co. will go far to protect her from the demons.

The true terror happens now...of the potential plot lines in the 2nd half. Mediocre 1st half all around, hoping the 2nd half will deliver somewhat.

I'd say the anime's been subtly expanding upon Murasame's principles and motivations from her original game role,


Btw, has anyone played the game yet? What are your thoughts on it?

The 1st half imo leans more towards cute character interactions and relationship building, just like the 1st half of a Sakura Wars game level.
The 2nd half will be more action-packed if it follows the formula.

Yeah, I really hope so if it leans on the formula and uses it to decent effect.

I have no idea why I’m still watching this other than the designs are cute. Without having played the game none of it makes sense. I don’t drop anything so I’ll stick with it , but man

Was really hoping for more singing and more interesting battles. The shows getting pretty dull. I hope it picks up real fast.

I love how nails white cloak is. Able to block attacks from creatures which would dent a mech. If I had to choose a top five this season to take into combat with me, she would defiantly be in it!

That last part was really interesting. With this we are now halfway through the series. The first half was kinda meh but hopefully the second half will be better.

Apparently they don't really need their "plugsuit" to pilot the mech!?!? I mean, Sakura was piloting it in kimono here just fine, so what purpose do these "connectors" on their back serve then:


And at this point i cannot avoid taking notice of how consistently horrible the landscape backgrounds in this anime are :

Already had the feeling that black cape was a robot but more importantly why does it have boobs? (not that I wanna complain)

Sakura sure is dense on who white cape is
