The obligatory close-to-fanservice episode this is one.

This is another weird episode where everyone entering the Odaiba Cluster has to go commando since this is a hot springs town. Feles certainly wasn't prepared for the backlash of this "sacred heretical rule", while the Extractors find their client: the priestess Vivaldi whom wants out of the cluster to object this creed and finally wear her underwear.

The Extractors are doing their job as usual, but the fact that Feles is taking charge and being conscious isn't making things any better. And also, the fact that the whole town is just being brazenly mistaken that their rip-off "Goddess of Liberty" also wore underwear, my mind is just like "WTH is this town made of?" But OK, Vivaldi didn't really need to be extracted so there's that.

I'm wondering what Goro Taniguchi has in mind when he's creating themes like these.

What in the holy name of weird was that? I didn't expect the show to get MORE wackier than Eps 3 and 4. I'm stupid; I accept it.

An entire cluster that puts a ban on wearing panties. It was fun to see Feles' dilemma. Showed how she's much more of "normal" girl than the other two. Turns out the Princess(whose building they casually went into), or was it the Moderator, wants to actually wear panties. Running for their lives to get a chance to wear panties: the anime.

It was again hilarious to see the Goddess aka the Lady of Liberty ACTUALLY wearing panties. They even have a language made of butts, penis and panties; I mean even MT fails to compare now.

Quite a bit of worldbuilding added. What did Equa mean when she said it is unusual for moderators to "change" the direction of the cluster? Is there a reason the world is setup this way? Does that mean there are more clusters following a "weird" custom? And why is Equa so concerned about it all? Will Feles ever go no-pantsu? Oof.

I like how most of the episode is absurdist comedy yet we also get some little bits of actual information at the very end.

As for the fanservice, it was more implied than shown. Not that I have an issue with that.

Well, the guy is not personally writing or directing the show.

He may have come up with the general idea of having a random adventure every week when they go into every cluster, but it's Shoji Gatoh writing all these wacky plots.

Ah i see the no-pantsu cluster and hot springs paradise, just what i like to see.

Pretty much a torture for Feles, as how she got not much break from Equa antics, and now she forcefully needs to follow the dang weird rule from a certain cluster. Though its good for Mertes as much as the parliamentary brain only care about Equa going commando xd.

As expected the priestess betrayed her faith for the dream. Though with how plot this time progressed, they almost failed because Feles literally messed things up. But then, somehow, the moderator, the literal liberty statue, actually changed the cluster direction into more considerate: from De Nude to One hour per pantsu.

Good thing? Even if its sounds like the first time failure, no client get extracted, but at least there's something that change and manage to fulfill their client dream. But to make it more intriguing, Equa concerns about that and its may be so good to know more about Equa after all the time....

And now there are two, only a matter of time before the Nopan party fully takes over!!!

I wonder, maybe Equa is actually some kind of goddess like that?

I think we might start seeing in the later episodes more about the cube thing that's shown in the opening. It seems important to the plot

Am I the only one who think if Ulula is commando too, or is it his usual mode?

Absolutely amazing, loved this episode and the last a lot. Especially loved how the episodes are leading into each other quite well, hoping they'll milk each fun idea for all it's worth. Honestly, I think they will. Ulla is probably my favorite character at this point, I love every scene he's even remotely involved in. It was so funny when he just slipped and fell off the boat during the battle scene!

This anime manages to throw me for a loop every week. A ban on underwear which the ex(hibitionist)tremist faction inside Martes is all too happy about.
