Feels like anyone getting involved in an experiment in this show is treated like trash.

Strength vs Lunatic's fight is quite something this episode. Kinda hard take Lunatic seriously with her childish personality. But hey, at least they managed to save Miya.

To be honest, I was hoping Smiley had a more gruesome death. At least, I wanted Empress to shoot Smiley right at the nuts.

Also… so smileys dead now? Heh, good riddance that fucking pervert… a cockroach huh… yeah I feel the same way strength. Honestly thought she was gonna die after fighting Lunatic. If she did I would’ve been like… oh no, is it her fate to die… like the previous black★rock shooter anime?

Now we know what these sexual murders were about. And I hope those will end, now that Smiley is dead.

Was clear that Strength would lose, Lunatic is the basic RPG final boss that you fight many times over the game.

Sadly Dead Master isn't much of style points, would be fun her shooting Charlotte doing a, 360 no scope.

I definitely won't be saying god bless America if I get shot in the nuts.

A little surprised the Smiley is dead this quickly, I guess there is a final boss that hasn't made an appearance yet.

This episode was awesome. I wish Smiley's death was more dramatic but at least Volt's sacrifice wasn't in vain. I'm still stunned that Charlotte performed Battlefield's Rendezook, it was legit 1:1 with the real thing apart from the lack of an RPG.

Leave your limits.

They wasted Smiley with his death too early and an underwhelming fight. Now there's only I'm-so-strong-and-evil Lunatic left who is 100 times less interesting. There are many episodes left so I guess they could introduce more villains.

Smiley - the muscular bodied android with red cloak - may inherit the style from Braiking boss in Casshern. The difference is that the antagonist died in a big explosion.

I did enjoy the episode for what it was worth, but it's probably the worst ep for me. Mainly the animation and direction of the Smiley vs. BRS and Lunatic vs STR parts were pretty bad honestly.

I never even liked Smiley period so I wouldn't even care if he'd just gotten killed off like a chump. Instead they dragged out a really lame fight where BRS really didn't do much other than shoot him in the balls once and then ended him after being so weak apparently that Bolt had to suicide bomb to get Smiley off her (And besides BRS, everyone just forgetting Bolt's existence seemingly was sad). Along with the only notable part of STR vs. Lunatic being some bad angles and high speed bouncing off the walls in dust clouds, it felt very off and just anticlimactic for a battle with the OP as it's BGM.

The best action sequence for me was really just Charlotte jumping off her jet temporarily. Even the shine from Dead Master was less than in ep1, and I'm kinda worried going forward how much both her and BRS rely on their bikes, cause they're starting to run the whole bike chase thing into the ground imo.

As it seems something is wrong reading this thread, I checked English subbed version. Actually Smiley didn't say "God bless America". He was just jabbering something meaningless when he got shots at his crotch.

Maybe I watched the shitty sub version that got replaced later then. I downloaded this episode from a pirate streaming site yesterday and only watched it today. Now that I checked the same site again, the subs are not the same anymore and that part is replaced with some unreadable gibberish like you said.

Gladfully, Smiley is destroyed.
That naked robot is too creepy. Whoever designed that thing should not get his paycheck.

is that miya? I don't know why I don't like this part.
I usually enjoy watching goblin slayer and kaifuku. But somehow in this anime I feel hurt. maybe because this anime used to talk about girl psychology, so I think this is a misplaced

Because that fansubber was troll. That's why you wait for proper fansub group to release the episode instead of watching shitty release posted on streaming site without even checking.

Normally I do wait for the better subs to be released, but this time I watched it too early and the troll subs were still up. Usually the better subs are up within a day or two, this time it took a bit longer (which is fair ofc, fansubbers are doing this for free after all).

Seems a little anticlimactic for a death. It wouldn't surprise me if he showed up again sometime but I hope he's gone forever. Glad the kid could be rescued, a nice change.

Glad that Smiley is dead but feels underwhelming. I dunno if he's dead for good. Happy for the girl got rescued but I feel bad that she seems the only one of the girls who revived. Seeing corpses of dead girls lying around and rotting is just sad.

Finally the entire Hermi unit is together, but someone said there are more of them.

I feel like we should have continued to look for Charlotte. If the institute is destroyed then she has nowhere to go. And why is her name, not Chariot? I feel like she should have been given the Original name like the others...
