| This show would work a lot better if it was more structured like MacGuyver or Leverage where there was some Trouble of the Week or even two weeks that they met, got involved with, solved through eventual gunfighting. This episode is thankfully still focusing on the special ops child assassin side rather than happy go lucky cafe nonsense, but it was also basically "Go here and fight some dudes." It would also work a lot better if they weren't constantly up against Imperial Stormtroopers who can't hit the broadside of a barn from 10 feet away with automatic weapons. Until, of course, it's time to pretend to be dramatic and fake a death, at which point they become expert marksmen and we can't spray enough blood around the place. Aside from the very corny "stand in front of a machine gun and dodge everything by swaying slightly" bit, the rest of the gunfight was again quite solid, especially the hacky sack with a grenade sequence. It's still good on the action side. Heck, even the characters are coming together a little more, though mostly at the end where Takina tries to rubber band Chisato. It's a good way to show she's rubbing off already. The supercar fandom was another decent character bit too that was largely organic and would have been in place anywhere from MIB to Bond. I just want a bit more substance on the narrative side, and that doesn't mean a sprawling incomprehensible conspiracy to slow burn over the next ten episodes either. |
| Really liking this anime, wasn't sure if I would've liked SoL mixed in with action but this is working so far, the cute girls certainly don't hurt. Also, I like the attention to detail which some of you have managed to notice, like the blu ray of John Wick, the Lexus sports car, and even the beer! Chisato was the star in this episode and I think we may get some backstory down the road as to how she can dodge so fast and why she doesn't kill (at least I hope we do). |
| now this has really become edgy! who is much greater in evading/dodging rifle/sniper bullets? Yor or these girls....sheeesh! but OMG both OP by Claris and ED by Sayuri was awesome!!! 3/5. (originally 2/5 but because of the OP & ED i'll just make it 3/5) |

| well, this is interesting. love the characters, main girls are pretty cute π biased to derpy personalities |

MegaStride said: So what you are saying is this is an action show with a heavy emphasis on shooting, where there are almost no stakes for the protagonist. gotchadeadz_g6 said: no he didn't promise, but he still didn't explain how that was possible, since a trained guy managed to miss ALL his shots on a target less than 5 meters away, overall it was a bad scene for those who don't have a suspension of disbelief so big. ponpokorin said: the action scenes are so ridiculous I can't take this anime seriously. the young girl walking through a storm of bullets totally unscathed was just too much SparkleDuck said: This show requires an insane amount of suspension of disbelief despite attempting to be a action thriller. She just walks around constant rounds without getting hit at all? Absolutely stupid and absurd, if the rest of the show keeps this up it'll be an easy 4/10 for me or lower. The show is literally giving details and telling the viewer that Chisato has some supernatural ability. Which is supported by her approaching the car by herself in Episode 1, Takina being flabbergasted when she willingly walked into an AK-47 at point blank, and Takina testing her ability to dodge projectiles by shooting her with band in her blind spot that is near silent. It’s crazy you people are trying to act smart and criticize a series and are unable to put together a simple idea like this. The irony to call it stupid. |

Awesome attention to detail! |
Everything that lives is designed to end. |
| This series is dumb and has a weird tone but at the same time its so energetic its entertaining, it kind of reminds me a bit of the energy city hunter would have sometimes but not the same tone, but this whole car chase was kind of at that right level of being grounded enough while still delving into the over the top aspect. My fear is when the show starts taking itself more seriously it wont work as well. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I hope there's an explanation regarding Chisato's ability to dodge bullets. She kinda did in the first episode too. Even them just saying she just has superhuman reflexes or something would be enough. Well regardless, the girls are cute, the op is nice and a loli another girl added to the group. |
Paul said: I bet they'll explain because they made sure we focused on Chisato's godlike dodging. Not only against AK47, but also against the rubber band in the endI hope there's an explanation regarding Chisato's ability to dodge bullets. She kinda did in the first episode too. Even them just saying she just has superhuman reflexes or something would be enough. Well regardless, the girls are cute, the op is nice and a loli another girl added to the group. |

| that part in the OP where Chisato and Takina kick each other's butt was unexpected. Chisato was so badass during that fight, the way she smoothly and effortlessly avoided the bullets and took them all out was so cool to see. I liked how she takes care of her enemies, the fact that she asks who they'll have dinner with later on must be a real eye opener for them as they could have been dead instead. It was also interesting how Chisato tells Takina that they were their enemies this time which makes me wonder if she's come across an enemy who she later on had to protect and/or vice versa. |
 |
| Chisato is so good in this. Excellent episode with a lot of action and loveable characters. I hope it keeps up the quality |
| This is definitely the Anime of the Year for me, I like everything about it. Chisato is the absolute definition of best girl, I love her so much. |
Sorry if my english is bad (γ£Λβ½Λ)γ£~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
MegaStride said: I'm not sure what you mean by "average MAL ranking" or why you are calling me elitest, when I'm saying I don't think this is good so far and I hope it gets better.SparkleDuck said: So what you are saying is this is an action show with a heavy emphasis on shooting, where there are almost no stakes for the protagonist. gotcha So what you’re saying is you aren’t giving the show a break in seeing how it’s going to pan out The average MAL ranking and elitist asf favorites are a cherry on the cake. |

| It's honestly amazing how easily Chisato makes me laugh lmao, her personality's so fun. Great episode! Was pretty sad when Walnut "died," but hooray, she wasn't actually dead. Bless Mika and Mizuki for their scheming. Didn't think Walnut would be the smol yellowed hair girl until Mizuki revealed herself. Jesus Christ, Chisato's fighting style is fucking sick. Her dodging skills is really interesting though. Can't wait for the next episode. Also, the OP is a banger, especially love the butt kicking. |

first John Wick, now Stand by Me. I wonder there will be more references |

| If Chisato is not best girl this Season, than i will go crazy lol. She is so cute, but at the same time just badass. I'm really curious about her past and why she is the way she is. |
undeadkingainz said: i think there will be more explanation about that, because it's purposely focused on that scene and showed that Takina is surprised. LOL literally walking into bullets and not getting hit at point blank range??? lmao is this anime a comedy Then, in the last scene Takina give like a test of Chisato's dodging while she wasn't paying attention  |
| This is mostly just me but I get really bothered when the girls especially Chisato just have this significant amount of luck that they're inevitable to catch a break, at least hopefully the latter episode could be more descriptive with their past timeline to how they're able to get their senses when someone is about to do something and we're getting started to see how their mechanics work out in their own association and that twist with the squirrel is probably for a fun purpose, I can't see why this could be taken seriously anyways, however, when the girls were shooting people inside some kind of organization, it was smart of Chisato to spawn in a grenade inside some room through kicking it while trying to knock out the people she's handling. |
| Chisato is a mosquito. The girl is annoying as she comes. If it wasn't for Takina, I would've dropped this show. Walnut was in the case all alongπ |

| God the dynamics in this show are just a treat. They really know how to introduce fun and interesting characters in the best way possible. |
| Has the same "modern" vibe that My Dress up Darling or Eden of the East but with A-1's top of the line animation |
| Another action packed episode. That bullet dodging scene is so badass but yeah not believable even one bit. I see Takina tries to shoot Chisato using that rubber to test her dodging ability (as a lot of people pointed out) but Chisato has turned around before Takina shoots her shot. And if Chisato is able to dodge actual bullets, why would her dodging a rubber band be surprising anyway? |

| Cool, it was a brutal episode, my favorite part was the expression when Chisato & Takina got the mission failed. I wonder if in the future there will be bulletproof vests like this anime, because the bullet-proof vest isn't really effective resist bullets from assault rifles, even if the bullets haven't penetrated the vest it will still cause bruising or internal injuries. |

OP is soo good Mizuki Blanco is definitely some kind of supersoldier.  |
 |
| This anime's been pretty good so far!!! I really like the op and ed!!! Both were pretty good!!! Have high hopes for this show too!! |
| Lmao of course the fucking hacker is a little girl smh. In these types of shows the only male characters are dumbass villains or mentor types that might end up dead. Such anime trope. |
| HUh... So apparently they're not really "high school girls" But rather just young girls that's pretending to be high school girls, since they already know how to drive, meaning they should be out of High School. ___ ___ ___ And we got Chisato showing off her dodging skills and caring about the enemy all the while trying not to have anyone die. Meanwhile Takina is criticizing Chisato saying we should just kill everyone to quickly complete the missions. (TBH, if they followed Chisato and waited, no one would have died, but then it would also ruin the "real mission" they didn't know about... which was to have a pretend death) ___ ___ ___ They ended it with a pretend death... but won't the enemy still find out the "target" isn't dead? cause sooner or later they'll notice the hacks being similar or the same from the "target"... Pretend dead only works if you actually change your life-style to where no one would recognize your old self. |

| IS this a power...of UI? |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Um...first of all that OP, what a ClariS banger, once again from the great duo. That first line of the first verse was just so damn catchy, it will definitely stick to my brain for a while. Also the Sayuri ED is a banger as well, definitely better than her Erased song. Anyways um about the episode....oh yeah blew and fucked my blown out mind. Not to get confused but if you think I'm blindingly loving this anime, well you're wrong I just geniunely love what I'm seeing here. To think that they will pull off a Great Pretender disbelief of a twist and shrug it off like nothing is just too unreal to me, I love it. Also Shinji (the sus agent guy) is closing in on them, he already knew the LycoReco's identity, he just has to blow them away from their cover. Yeah that Walnut deceiving of a twist is still shocking my weeb mind, and this show is just getting better in my tastes, what can I say they just serve shit better! |
 |
| Takina's face at Chisato dodging everything: BS, just complete BS. I had a somewhat similar reaction before quickly realizing that this had to be a plot point and behold, it is. Or might be, based on Takina's reaction. Good to see how this episode recontextualizes stuff from episode 1. |
 |
im screaming, that.. THAT LFA?? FOR ONCE A STUDIO ACTUALLY INCLUDES ONE OF JAPAN'S MANY INCREDIBLE CARS  |
| and walnut turned out to be a , who would've guessed |
 |
| Ah yes, now I see what this show is about. It went full anime-logic mode... Kind of disappointed, but oh well... Dodging full-auto AK-47 in a confined space, from a distance of like 5 meters. Bullshit'o'meter was off the charts! The squirrel had bulletproof stuff on the face too? There was no surviving that. The briefcase must've been made of Vibranium too. And the master-hacker is a 10yo girl (10-12 likely), of course... why not... As I've said, the show went full anime-logic-mode. I love Chisato though. It's always good to see an overpowered character who doesn't kill enemies just because they can, with ease. |
| Chisato watching John Wick? no wonder she so badass lol i mean how can she dodge like that? must be some superpower right? wow i really though Walnut dead just like that, but turns out to be a little girl... wtf |
 |
| Well, the mission could be done. I thought I had died, but I didn't. Good plan xd Wallnut, well Kurumi in this case, joins the group. Good chapter. The opening is very good and the ending is nice. |
| Of course that was a huge prank and nobody is dead... and the hacker is a loli hiding in the closet, I seriously still can't stand the personality of the blond one I swear |
