| A loli laundry mill... An exceedingly effective one... Nevertheless, the episode was entertaining. Nerve gas is a rather ineffective method of assassination, though. |
Atavistic said: Wow, talk about a hell of a lot of sloppy spy work this episode, from the Princess buying the mill (seriously, how did that not break their cover?) to Dorothy not being remotely worried about that debt collector guy noticing her and blowing their cover as well, not to mention Chise beating up that guy without taking any precautions to prevent others from seeing her in action. Also, how convenient that the random soldier just so happened to give the bad guy's uniform in to be washed when the bad guy always washes it himself; you'd think he'd take more precautions to prevent such a thing from happening, but evidently not. Also, I am not accepting a bullet-proof iron. That is bullshit of the highest caliber. Those old-time irons were solid iron, nothing at all like today's electric irons. The plate was likely an inch thick, enough to deflect an unjacketed pistol bullet. As for recognition, the bad guys had never met any of our girls. This episode happens before the episode in the morgue with Dorothy's Father. I had to go back and check the beginning of the episodes to make sure: check the Case Number and they tell you in what order the episodes happen. |

| Fantastic episode! So different yet so entertaining. Glad that they managed to help the girls ;) |

THIS Also I would expect some story development already, not independent filler like backstories and "adventures" like this episode Still the worst one the princess buying laundry, and letting the girl go who saw everything, cover blown twice |
| So with most of the backstory out of the way, and seeing our main cast at a high, i expect (hoping) things are going to take a sharp turn towards more serious matters and the plot will start to pick up pace. Not that I haven't been enjoying it so far, far from it. But I'm worried if we stick to the jumping around background/world building for much longer, we're going to lose steam hard. We have a good enough grasp on the world and our main crew to start pushing the plot forward heavily in my opinion. |
L-Ryoshi said: uchimaki131 said: About that - This episode is Case 16 while the Case last week was 18 - Hence The foreman didn't recognise them :) Actually, that's what I meant. If last week's case was after this one, then there would have been a possibility that the debt collectors would have seen them here, and hence recognized them in last week's episode. It looked like the bad guys only interacted with the Princes and Ange, so they very well may not have recognized Beatrice and Dorothy. |

| a nice Laundromat episode... 4/5. |

| Chise still the best girl so far |

| Somewhat slow episode and the first one that felt like filler to me. |
| The machine on which the two girls broke the handle (that squeezed the water out of shirts) is called a "Mangle". It was notorious for ruining shirts, which lead to the modern use of the verb "to mangle". So I guess you could call these tow a couple of manglers. |

| I swear i fall more and more in love with this every episode! |
| Filler? Not sure if there was a point to having this episode. To show off Ange's "attitude"? |
  |
| Between the princess being rich out of nowhere despite working at a mill and Dorothy not being the least worried that the deb guy could recognize her in the next case (working with her father), I suppose they make sure to have a serious tone enveloping incredibly comical/stupid/ridiculous events. 2/5 |
| Gosh, all the girls at the Mill were so cute. I wish them all imaginary luck and hope they're doing okay. |
| I liked the leader girl at the Mill. She was cute. And her short relationship with Chise was endearing. |
TheGreatMizuti said: chaosprophet said: The killer was a Kingdom soldier killing Commonwealth supporters inside the Kingdom. As Beatrice mention on episode 3, the Kingdom's police is under the Duke of Normandy so they can't rely on them. While it didn't seem like the Duke was backing the guy up, chances are he was at least ordered the police to overlook him like not making a real effort to capture the guy. Apparently on a radio show the staff answered that they didn't need to hide the Princess face because while most people who received full education knows her, those in the laundry didn't receive sufficient education, had a low literacy rate to read newspapers so they wouldn't recognize her. Okay, I was mistaken on the police point, but you don't need to be literate or educated to recognise a face. Even if some of the girls couldn't read, they can still recognise her from photographs, and considering she's a princess, there's bound to be a lot of them. It would be also impossible for them to just point out that a princess who will soon rule a nation would be in a laundry mill..Even if they tell the people no one will believe them. So my guess is that they either haven't seen the princess or they just thought it's just a look-a-like. |
| After the past couple of episodes, this was a nice change of pace. Really sweet and heartwarming to watch the laundry mill get on its feet. At one point, I forgot about their spy work and thought it'd be nice if things kept going like this. |
 |
| This episode was so lovely and cute and fun <3 Loved this so much. |

| Princess did a nice thing to the laundry girls! It was a nice episode. |
 |
| Surprisingly wholesome. I didn't expect that from this show. |
 |
| Such a great heartwarming episode! |
| :3 |
| I wonder what job that one girl that was always sitting and eating was supposed to be doing? Thanks to turning the laundry mill into a profitable operation, the princess also has a source of income independent from the royalty, which could be useful in the future. |
| I'm happy that no one has done any harm, but this episode takes a bit of noir to the atmosphere, but it's nice to see Chise with a different attitude than usual, she's always so serious and rational. They were nice washerwomen, who knows if we will review again, after all, have had them as much of the characterization that served them to stand out from the high secondary characters. |
 |
| This kind of felt like a filler... Nothing major happened, no backstories revealed, no real development apart from Princess trying to help the girls with their mission and improving the lives of everyone at the laundry :/ It wasn't bad, it was just lackluster. It's also funny since the only reason their plan succeeded was thanks to the other soldier who sent the bad guy's clothes in... I'm curious why they infiltrate the Tower of London at the end though. Hope it will be revealed next episode. |

| This episode was borderline stupid - everything was fine as slice-of-life but when you are thinking of logic this series really makes no sense. Who the hell came out with such stupid plan to find the culprit? Also, they are actually acting the exact opposite of spies, they bring so much attention to them, everyone would remember them. Not mentioning the fact that the princess still acts as princess while in disguise (and even Beatrice was still calling her hime), not mentioning the fact that they were really suspicious in the laundry and noone asked (again) but BUYING the whole place out? Like WHAT, are they real? How can they even act as lowly girl in disguise when one of them has the sum that probably the only girl in the city has? Yet noone makes the connection, noone questioned where she got it and who she is? This was really utterly dumb and I have the feeling the creators have us for idiots. Everything is just so happy-go-lucky cause it works somehow, *sigh*. If they didn't try to put some serious themes in there then maybe but this was just ridiculous. |
Espionage 101: Using an "Undercover Alias" At least that's how I want to interpret this scene. I thought Ange was upset because it's as if they're not even trying to come up with a better alias/name for cover LOL I'm a couple months late in but OMG this anime is golden @.@ Only thing that bothers me is the name references from other anime like Cross Ange & Mahoutsukai no Yome xD |

| Things can indeed get really confusing if you aren't paying attention to the case numbers! Nice episode, we seem to be moving on from backstories. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Damn that ending really got to me :/ Still a fantastic episode! |
 |
| Very nice steam punk art and an easy going story this episode. I did like the sign that said "respect your washing machine". I shall do that from now on. |
 |
| lmao Ange's acting was very funny xD I really enjoyed this episode. 5/5 |
 |
| Chise is holding in there as my favourite character. When she puts on the Hachimaki and teaches the laundry mill employees a work song. Also gets character development when learning that while putting a lot of effort into one's job is good, try not to push oneself so hard that one gets injured. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| The Princess really turned that laundromat around. Nice to see an episode with a more lighthearted ending. |
 |
| Ange's cover as a delinquent was hilarious lol. Still this episode have many thing that make no sense...Why does nobody recognise the Princess? and wtf the whole buying stuff. At least we got a happy ending. |

| I liked this episode. not only accomplished their mission. They helped thos girls to survive and keep their jobs. |
| Damn, this episode was sad for Dorothy/Daisy. ;-; |
 |
| Depressing episode, very touching. Poor pa-pa. The song at the end was nice. |
| Good episode. I liked the hints of worldbuilding in this episode by focusing more on the industrial work places like in this case, laundry mills and furthermore just show how women there were working for a living and how much of a struggle it was, especially with corrupt people at the top of the helm trying to force debt to be paid no matter what despite the lack of quality equipment and environment to get work done. It was a nice gesture though seeing the girls not only focus on their mission but also help the laundry mill at the same time with clearing debt, having new machines, and helping them gain exposure and more revenue for more chances of long-term survival. It was all in the sake of the mission of finding out who used nerve gas for assassinations, but it still is a lovely sight to see. Wouldn't call this the most important episode (hell like the previous episode, the actual mission feels too much in the background while the girls focused a lot more on fixing the workplace as the priority focus) or the most intense one but definitely a feels good episode that feels rare in a sense for a show like this, especially for shows where its cute girls doing spy things. |
| this was really cute oh my god, nice ending too |
| This was a lighthearted and relaxing episode. The whole laundry crew was so adorable. ^^ |

| OHH the laundry mill episode! Yes I remember this episode where the Principal spy team disguised being cleaners for undercover covert operations for this mission, this episode is such a stark contrast to the earlier episodes. These girls are too lax on this job, but this job has a lot of red flags going for it until they have enough resources to fund it and fix the problems on their own to create the perfect assembly line in the mill. Sadly for the Principal spy team, they don't have much time, and they found their target quickly to evade their presence. A happy ending for the laundry mill girls. |
 |
| Talk about a bizarre concept for an episode, although it made for decent cover given the age of the workers. This ep, compared to the previous 6 eps, feels out of place to me. Maybe cause there really wasn't any spy stuff done in the ep. If anything, this episode gives some character development to Chise, which is very much appreciated. |
 |
| Delinquent Ange immediately made me picture Ryuko from kill la kill While it's not a hard-hitting episode like the last two, this one did leave me with a sense of emptiness. It feels like we were working at that laundry mill for an entire season, and now we had to say goodbye. *sniff* |

| what an ending... |
| That was a nice, enjoyable somewhat-filler episode. Maybe a little too-light-hearted considering the last episode, as well as being an odd-time to put an episode not-pushing the story. If anything, that concerns me a little. How little has been put into the main story. I feel like we got somewhere last time with Dorothy's-dad's-killer, too. |
