Hmm this episode was intense.

I kinda like the action especially in the second half, really goes to show the skills of these characters when fighting face to face. Yeah, I think this episode is like one of those climatic clashes rather than just resolving some case. Haruka kicked some ass~ They also really emphasized on the train crisis and about Kobari.

Another Willwear of the Unit 8 comes up and it's Pink, Oscar III.
It means so far, it already have revealed 4 numbers of Oscar. Number I, II, III, and VIII. I wonder what another Oscar will be revealed next and their color too. Will it be White? Black? Green? Yellow? Or maybe... Polka dot?LOL

The action in this show is good, but the plot it's a mess, but at least it has a lot of critisism to public opinion towards cops behavior, prob it's the only good serious point of this show. I don't know if this a show for Japan really, where people opinion toward cops are pretty possitive.

Anyway, Haruka is pretty tho.

It was a good episode about trains.

I felt bad for Kobari.

Fortunately this is getting better and better, I started to enjoy episodes a lot more recently. I get used to somewhat crazy action so it's fun to watch. And there's lots of hints about the world and possible plot developments (hope it won't stay with episodic formula after introducing characters). I sure like this kind of worldbuilding more than random infodumps (especially when they come right at the moment when they can't be delayed further, because they are necessary to understand action that popped out from somewhere). Also characters seem promising (villains excluded). It's nice that they have unique traits.

About the episode. I was suprised that opening has got new animation. The scene where the "bad guy" was charging on police and they couldn't really do anything because of lack of approval from higher-ups was pretty good. I like how this show has some weird ideas (plane landing few episodes back is a negative example) and lots of realistic little details.

Haruka's will wear was cute. But... Pink seem a bit sexist. Her love for trains was tender.
A bad action for a noble reason, always make me thinks if is a good action or not.

Not quite as great as last week's episode, but still a fun time.

I liked the jokes about trains and how Haruka was the only person (along with this week's enemy/victim) who had any real interest in the subject.

A number of hints about future plot developments also came into the picture.

The new opening sequence was a nice change of pace too. The old one was getting boring.

This is one of the few anime that's actually made me start daydreaming in the middle of an episode because I was so uninterested in what was happening.
It just seems really...dumb. If the guy's trying to get an operation for his daughter, why would talking about trains, and forgive the pun, stop him in his tracks?

Meh.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

I will forever be surprised by how some people continue to find this so difficult to comprehend when it's all so simple. Perhaps too simple, admittedly, that much I could understand as a criticism...but nothing has been really too hard to get.

It's a silly show, obviously, but the point was made pretty clear.

1. The guy liked trains and made dioramas.
2. The dioramas included trains, the guy and his daughter.
3. The police girl, Haruka, was a fan of trains too.
4. Haruka appealed to the guy's love of trains and his daughter.

The new opening is actually very good. And I like how they're using more traditional art rather than CG for some scenes, overall, last chapter and this one were an improvement for this anime.

Active Raid is just weird, for the most it goes as an average to mediocre show.
But then, scenes like the ones in the past episode (Dr. Feels) and now Feels on the rails...

Guess I'll keep watching it.

New OP's not bad. I enjoyed this episode a bit more with Haruka's unusual love for trains/man-made objects. Scenario this time wasn't much, but the way it's progressing is nice.

So Haruka's Willwear is pink. Does this means that the remaining two (Oscar IV and V) would be yellow and green if one goes by super sentai conventions?

Oh well! Now I do not expect anything to have a semblance of normality, but I was still impressed by the positive news seen in this episode, not bad the new opening and interesting that to be equipped with some sort of exoskeletons, are not only three. Drawings and animations retain a certain quality despite the large expenditure of funds, finally there is the dead, there is a twist in the story? I'm curious.

I think it's like Pizza Hut in Code Geass, lol.

I think this episode was good stuff, the animation was pretty great, too.

Really think this'll turn out to be a good show towards the end.

Thief girl was holding flowers for the dead old man, they're probably not even related lol.
I understood the explanation for dying "responsibility" etc, but still doesn't make sense. It's not like Kobari's his son or something. So 2 dead from Peace Party, Governor scheme didn't quite work out but he still won PR.
White hair villain mastermind this time. Unlike other villain pawns, Kobari had good reason to follow Logos. And adopted daughter survives thanks to Haruka. Plot feels messy still. Cool fights/effects, & steel beams canceller was a nice idea.
OP seems...very different? It's better & more exciting, everyone's got fabulous wavy hair and willwears.

Good episode, a definite improvement over the last one with the giant robots, that was worst episode by far.

I think this show has potential, especially in its characters. I think it's the handling of the plot and episode plots that are the issues.

Gotta give credit where it's due, this show has a nice soundtrack.
