Ah, a party for Asuka. I'd say she deserves one after all the hard work she's done recently.

Looks like she got assigned to fight the Russian Mafia. No easy task for sure but an important one. Expected a barrage of battles this episode too and it's what we got. Asuka is also rather proficient at using firearms so she doesn't always rely on her karambit.

Glad they kept the violence in as usual.

Looks like Asuka has some traumas about her past which are getting in the way of combat.
Seems like she has been trough allot during her time as a mahou shoujo.

Anyway they made a pretty careless mistake by letting that guy go.
He didn't get very far tho.

The final battle back then sure proved heavy in the cost in lives though. No Wonder Asuka grew to despise war. For a spec ops unit M squad sure has a rather small budget. The members of M squad though sure come from a wide array of fields. While its nice to see Tamara seems she's being forced to take up her role. The teams assault on those mafia sure was fun. While the goons proved no challenge the illegal was much tougher. Though there were complications its good that the op was a success. The way in which the merc was handled sure was satisfying considering her crimes. Looks like this war is starting to get more complex with Tamara now joining the fight as well. Im curious to see what the Babel brigade have planned though.

Lol, expired rations. That's new.

Inter-dimensional smuggling? Like Earthrealm and Outworld? I'd love it if this anime could explore on that more...

Well the animation isn't great, but that sniper shot was cool.

Lol. Ok someone needs to make a gif of Asuka landing on the car and crushing it.

Phoenix Tamara has a cool design. She mentions her sister. Is she referring to Asuka? And are they blood-related, or sisters by bond? Either way, it looks like she won't be going against Asuka.

Asuka = Scout
Kurumi = Medic
Mia = Soldier
Tamara = Pyro
Peipei looks like a fighter, but we'll wait and see what she does when she finally appears.

More torture and swimsuits next episode! Yay!

This episode started in a very sad way, that flashback with Asuka desperate and without any hope was sad, but Tamara got Asuke to recover her reason and finish their last battle.
We had Asuka's welcome party which gave us a change of heart, plus we got to know the rest of the M squadron.
Tamara is presented in this episode and if I am sincere I distrust a bit of her, that detail about her sister makes me think that will be a weak point that can be exploited by the Babel brigade, despite that Tamara has a spectacular power and that flamethrower looks great, I liked her short fight with the mobster.
The mission of the portal I liked a lot, the soldiers of the M squadron are very skilled and their performance in combat was exceptional, even with a magician as an opponent.
Asuka and Kurumi work well as a team, although Asuka continues with her severe post-war trauma, which prevents her from fighting 100%, but Kurumi makes her react and Asuka cuts off the arm of little Nazani and now she will be a very good source of information.

Apparently in the next episode we will have school trip with Asuka and Kurumi in swimsuits and Kurumi by her side will be in charge of obtaining the information of Nazani, but it seems that Kurumi will have the luxury of using very severe methods to make the little prisoner speak.

I hope that’s true. Nothing I like more than seeing villains tortured. I loved Asuka’s smart mouth to that little brat.

The art isn't always the best, but I always enjoy the show.

Even JSDF expired rations are still oishii, the expiration date is just a number apparently.

Like seeing the magical gals in uniforms.

Looking forward to watching Kurumi use some enhanced interrogation techniques next week ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This one seems a bit yandere, so I bet she's a natural for the job...

Why do they eat expired military rations when they are in a cafe? If normal people go there, they serve them rations too? xD

NO!! Kurumi, don't torture the poor girl. >___<
And damn you too Sachuu, don't talk like that in the preview... this show is not hentai. >___<

This episode was ok, having the same issues and the same quality that i told before.

The Rapture/Asuka trauma with her past during the fight again was decent, because this part they showed us other members little more, like Phoenix/Tamara/Russian Pyromancer MAO recovering Asuka, it's ok. Also, Tamara/Phoenix's design so far is the best comparaded to the rest, just badass.
Russian mafia part was the same with little fluid and animations in some of the movements, however it's still boring. The mix between the static scenes and the animated parts in these action scenes were and are the one of the problems of the show.
And one bad thing of this episode, for me, is the comedy, just Forgettable.

Another amazing episode! We start with a quirky party for Asuka, who decided to return to active duty, and we even get an introduction to Tamara, another one of Asuka's fellow Magical Girls. The series does a good job at making Asuka a relatable character with flaws and humanity, both in her private moments and in the action scenes. The story was great and will definitely leave you wanting for more.

Decent episode! Asuka's past is quite sad at times and to think it is still causing PTSD. Can't blame her. Still doesn't hold back on the violence, was pretty good as usual. Next week is going to be interesting.... Not just torture but also swimsuits ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Tamara is damn cool! I guess Asuka is not her sister, she was just thinking about Asuka...about the flashback, I am sure the leader who was in Asuka's arms it's the one with Scissors

Not bad an episode. Still, it ended too soon.
I guess this is one of those animes I have more fun when marathoning.

Lewd torture and other swimsuit episode in the next one.

I really wish this was 24 episodes, man.

I think I won't even remember any of the names of Squad M's members. The battle against the Russian was interesting and Asuka totally rekt that annoying girl. Well deserved.

It bugs me that it seems the Russian was more of a "monster of the week". I'm waiting for the true villain ffs! And there are 4/5 episodes left...

Entertaining episode. Tamara looks so badass I'm already liking her. Not to mention that the OST that played when she pulled out that massive flamethrower was dope as hell.

So in the next episode we will have a mix between sexual torture and swimsuits scenes... nice?

Asuka joined the M-Squad, so the guys hold her a welcome party. That was a nice thing to do. :)

Tamara is so cool. I really like her character.
