This looked kinda creepy actually....


Definitely one of the more tense episodes and I actually enjoyed this one more than expected. The tense atmosphere with the competition and tactics between teams and players make it interesting.

Takatora is also a character to be careful of when out on the battlefield. Hell, it's minigun time.

The Hotaru vs Gekimetsu Ou was the best. Hotaru~ you klutz LOL

Fujimon's cool. And so is Akabane. I think Midori-san's voice actor was the most fit for his adaptation though.

I like that insert song~

Game finally starts, so far with Hotaru winning against Takatora and it appears Yukimura's got Ichi cornered. Hotaru's beginner gimmicks still run after being thrown in tournament, and some of them are kind of silly. It still feels like reactions are being thrown around, though. Decent episode.

Hotaru's swift advancement towards Fujimoto even surpasses Daryun's speed whenever Arslan is in trouble. I guess she was just showing off some of her Shounen MC skills. Plus, that insert song increased her chance of winning by a factor of 11. GG there.~

Yukimura vs. Ichi was much better in terms of battle and the strategies they used to get at each other. She's proving to be just as competent as I hoped.

Pretty hilarious how Masamune is acting all brave against Midori now. Too bad, he won't really shine much. But I'm sure Hotaru's bloodlust will ultimately grant them the victory.

Really loved the intensity of the separate matchups in this episode

Everyone impressed me so far but man I have mad respect for Hotaru right now because she was just amazing and I am so proud of her even though she forgot to unlock the safety lol

Still, this episode kinda brought up the idea of Midori not actually being the one who attacked that girl so if that is indeed the case, this mystery got a whole lot more intriguing

I've never seen more accurate statements lol.

On Topic: Well this was a pretty intense episode. It was pretty cool to see Yukimura and Akabane coming up with strategies about how to beat each other. And Tachibana's mistakes.....if she wasn't the main character she would have been killed, Fujimon is way too nice.

Other than Tachibana's sudden cheetah speed and the ridiculous "hey, let's talk to my wide open target who didn't even notice me that I easily could have killed" moments, this was a somewhat decent episode.

Lol Hotaru leaving the safety on :)

Hmm, I wonder if Midori is the one who did the whole 'shooting the girl over and over' thing by himself and didn't even tell his teammates? But then, Fujimoto seemed kinda oblivious to Midori's maliciousness before, so maybe that's it.

>mfw watching this episode



Seriously has like... the author ever played an airsoft game before? Or at least a shooter game? The writing in this anime is so terrible it's laughable...

"OMG she rushed to our spawn in only 48 seconds, whatever shall we do?" Uhm, okay? How was that dangerous whatsoever? Just shoot her dammit, not like rushing speed means jack shit in this kind of game. It's all about being stealthy, and that's the direct opposite of mindlessly charging through the forest is

Speaking of which, a message to all participants: when you have your opponent in your sights, JUST FUCKING SHOOT ALREADY. Don't think, don't hesitate, don't make some cliché speech or punchline, just pull the goddamn trigger. It really isn't that difficult. When you have melee weapons it's one thing since you have to close the distance but with guns it's a totally different story. Like Yukimura vs Ichi; how long did they both have the easiest chance ever to kill each other without doing so? Or when Tachibana first saw Fujimoto walking by she had her gun aimed at him for like three seconds before he turned around. That's so much time in these situations, why the hell would she ever lose that fight lol

But of course by far the worst of all was the 'duel' between them at the end (the fact that a fair fight even occurs in hide and seek warfare is stupid to begin with but whatever). The guy had a fucking minigun. And she defeats it by running around him in a circle. Like holy shit are you actually serious? After just having a beginner's introduction about what a minigun is, you still don't have a clue about how a minigun actually works? "My hesitation to pull the trigger caused my defeat"; yeah you're goddamn right it did, hell you barely even had to aim. Just hold down the trigger and swing the gun in an arc in the direction she's running; it's not like you'll run out of bullets anytime soon and you're guaranteed to hit her no matter what. There's literally no logical reason whatsoever why a charge like that should ever work even against an SMG or a handgun, let alone a fucking minigun lol. Otherwise there'd be no need for long-range trench warfare in this day and age, every soldier could just run straight towards their enemies and take out their guns with their fists instead, sounds like a brilliant idea right?

Oh and did you notice how Masamune was suddenly super cocky and confident against Midori now? Wasn't he like almost pissing himself with fear just from talking to him last episode? At least have some form of consistency please

I seriously don't even know what to make of this anime...

''She's got some huge tits, though. I could use those as a reference for my manga.''
Ahaha. Yukki focusing on what really matters.

I'm liking what I'm seeing of Akabane so far. That sniper vs sniper fight with Yukki was fun to watch.


Best part for me was definitely Tachibana vs Fujimoto. I've been waiting for their face-off since I saw them against each other in the OP.
Glad he was a good sport and graciously accepted his defeat.

That's completionists for you. Some have a masochistic compulsion to endure watching shows they hate week per week in order to increase their list. The whole situation defeats the main purpose of watching anime, which is to be entertained. Or perhaps they consider hating on shows as a form of entertainment in itself. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

To be fair, despite the terrible writing this anime is still decently entertaining just because of the concept itself so it's not that hard to sit through

There are plenty of less enjoyable shows this season :s

I wonder what actually conspired between them... I hope it's not some anticlimactic bullshit. But I am curious to know. I'm pretty sure Yukki lied to her, or at least part of it was a lie. Something's got to give.

I still enjoy how overdramatic this is. It was irritating, but it's definitely amusing me.

And I kind of like the whole Shounen MC plot armor. I mean, all of the things that usually annoy me are actually entertaining me in this, but I guess I'm just not taking it seriously. It helps.

I'm not sure what to ship... I think Matsubana is slightly ahead for me, but I'm also really liking Yukibana and MatsuYukki... (MidoMatsu isn't too bad either... But the whole S&M vibe isn't my cup of tea, so I'll have to pass on that one.)

Uhm, Takatora didn't call "hit" or anything, right? Why would he go back to the safety area. And wasn't it mentioned that you can watch from above? Then everyone watching would know she didn't hit him.
And if she had the safety thing still on, wouldn't the first thing to do be turning it off?

First Round and Hotaru has already defeated Fujimoto-san. I can't believe it! But Hotaru also forgot to take off the security from her weapon. Besides during the episodes I even forgot that Hotaru is a girl. Hum, but I guess that doesn't matter. Only matters who is going to the final on the tournament! ^.^

its always kind of irritating how they take so long to shoot each other. Like "Oh hey, its my opponent, totally defenseless and unaware before me, let me just make a huge speech boasting about how I got to this point aloud." But I guess if it was all just quick shooting there would be a pretty boring and anti-climactic plot.

Oh, anime...the weird things that I deal with and somehow over a long period of time have internalized as normal.

I'm kinda disappointed. Where are my gay under/overtones?! Just a flashback and a small Fujimon moment won't do it! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

And Yukki went from "cool line about boobs" to "fucking idiot that didn't shoot" pretty fast. Well, at least he's still on the game.

Slightly bummed with how long they take to shoot, but this show still manages to entertain me even with this small annoyance.

I'm pretty sure, that's not how a game like this goes. The shounen is hilarious, Midori could have been killed twice.

The sniper battle was exciting though. Also how Fujimon got defeated so easily, that sucked.

Still enjoying that beautiful OP. And the ED ofc.

Midori's team sure has cool outfits. His team is a weird one tho. I think I like Fujimon only. I started liking him from this episode since I saw how beast of a fighter he is in the battle field (Pfft, minigun. Like hell it is). I liked when he switched serious mode and then I thought "dayum! he definitely gonna kick some ass now" lol :D

Basically, this ep was Ichi vs Yukimura (why he didn't shoot her right away dammit!), Hotaru vs Fujimon (*whistle* badass fight, and end up hilarious at the last sec XD. I loved the song that played in the background when Hotaru showed her amazing skills. It's her VA singing it, right?) and Mattsun vs Midori (but that fight stays for the next week :(

And to be very freaking honest, I LOVE HOTARU SO MUCH. She's my favorite girl besides Fremy from RnY.

I don't understand why Midori has a yaoi wimp and a big-titty kuudere lusting over him. I seriously can't see his appeal. He's a stereotypical cunning bad guy who pretends to be nice. He's a dime-a-dozen antagonist.



Yukimura is better than that idiot. Tachibana was pretty fucking cool this episode too.

That was a fun and intense episode. We got to see a glimpse of all the wnemy team. Fujimon was so funny. Ichi is a natural sniper. Actually her and Yukimura are identical. Now about Midori...well I guess he will give the hardest time for the three of them. Porblly Ichi will go out the next episode and Midori will take on all three of them leaving only one alive. Problly Hotaru and the reason is that after Matsun and Yuki are out Midori will reveal Hotaru's gender and do the same thing like he did with the other girl leaving Matsun devasted and defeated once again. But it's all just my speculation so with the next eps will actually learn what will happen.
A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over?
