Hmm so they are portraying Kar Shekar as a badass miko type character with her own squad of battle maids. Heh.

Action is all over the place this episode with Izzy and the others fighting.
The best part of the episode imo is BB's appearance. Why is this guy so badass? The comedy with Cal completely ruined it though. RIP his glasses

Yeah right, An asian male that learn "f*cking" word.
Whoa, just like the cinematic OP. Miko leader with maid assistant. And damn she IS like hardcore "play". Even the cute little Scrodinger's cat has turn into Schrodinger Lion(?) Bloods everywhere AND still some lewd princess act.

Go from having Seigi stabbed multiple times to comedy in like 15 seconds. Took only like 2 episodes to make this show lose all credibility.

So now we have battle maids sure why not. ok some of the comedy didn't land for me in other words it wasn't that funny for me I don't know if they were trying to hard or that some of the jokes were ruined or felt forced but I didn't really laugh much this episode. The fight's in this anime are so good if only the plot was somewhat decent but at least the characters are likable some are even badass. At this point I just want to see how good the fight scenes get from here onward but now that we have battle maids it can only get better did I mention there's battle maids because they have battle maids now.

The MC will not die i guess
The last scene with that love comedy was unnecessary, once again

(maid outfits are pretty convenient for war)

Glorious new character introductions, fight scenes, and music cues; Cal Shekhar was so damn savage; Il going beast mode was intense.

Lmao at Aryabhata asking who would be the uke between Sanders and BB. I love her character.

This show is so wild and entertaining.

They're rushing things.

They skipped the rest of chapter 17.

Colonel Sanders and crew were introduced before they left.

So the comedy in this anime is that MC is beaten to the death in every episode until last episode...Hes development is 1/10... and the action until 7th episode is worse than a simply char.....

BB's deathflag count rise the 1000 by the end of the episode. The preview with Izzy screaming her name doesn't help at all.

The transition between seriousness and comedy is jarring as Hell. In one moment we have the MC being tortured and then the show presents the katana girl getting embarrasing in a Tsundere way for BB. And people complained about Akame ga Kill's transitions, but this is much worse.

The transformation of the loli into a giant feline was the most shocking of this, tbh.

The good guys are just a bunch of weaklings compared to the bad ones, the show is just about watching the mc gang being raped, mutilated and killed. They show us some big ass general that lasted half episode...and come on Seiji you trained months to be deafeated in less than a minute...

Im not the "hater" type but seriously, whats with this show? It started so promising and now we have an epiosde loaded with action but what happens? the idiotic princess keeps fondling breasts and wtf was that with the katana girl?

What exactly is the point of the princess' perverted actions? I dont get it. What should that add to the show?
Its nearly impossible to take this show and the characters seriously...

agreed - I was really hopeful for this show at first (so much so that I started reading the manga too). Unfortunately the manga started to get bleh as well. It's like someone reasonable created it and then handed it off to a 13yo for scenario/dialogue.

Up until the last 2ish minutes it was an OK episode. The use of comedy right after a serious seen was super jarring and was incredibly poorly timed.

Also the fighting as a whole was so one sided I was kind of annoyed, sure it was supposed to be like that but having such a one sided fight along with characters who lasted less than a few seconds made it hard to care. Also where the hell did the dog thing go.

This is actually true, but akame ga kill has a 9 from me and this has a 6. :c

Wouldn't it be an @ss-pull if he'd miraculously be able to defeat a tattoo user that literally rekt most of the US forced that should be way more trained & experienced than Seiji?

Cal's way out of his league, as well as the princess, naturally.

I love this show for some reason. I like just the raw fighting and badass aspect. But I have to agree with everyone here that if the manga author would have just kept it serious it would've been a much greater story it's like your feeling the epsisode and bb shows up about to fight the strongest cal and they get into love jokes man way to kill a mood . Can't blame the animation studio they're just adapting the material that's there and if most viewers feel this way think about how they felt when making the show and realizing damn we get to make a great fight scene only to have it interrupted at the worst times by stupid comedy that doesn't fit in. Certainly gives off that " I'll do the job but seriously everyones gonna hate on it anyway so might as well not invest a lot of money into the production".

Still love the show though it's one of those it could've been so much better shows

Helicopter cg was weak as Hell.

No parachutes?? WTF?

Bad drama-to-comedy transitions

Still not quite sure what the crap is going on...some nation of some sort led by a psycho princess trying to steal tattoos so they can, what, rule the world or some shit? ugh

I'm only finishing this series because its on my list for the 2016 anime challenge. Otherwise I'd be dumping it due to it being a steaming pile of donkey shit.

Action was nice, Episode was intense but the transitions are just too fast. We're just thrown into this random Millitary mission with absolutely no build up, Why is Touko even here? Did I forget something from last episode?

Cal is awesome, She's badass and way too strong. The way she murdered that yellow haired guy and beat down the colonel was epic.

Al's transformation was kind of weird for me, Came out of nowhere.

Arya is easily the best character in this show for me, Lol at her asking who's the uke XD.

Seigi was just tortured and stuck to the wall, Arya showing him who's boss. I'm still interested in what kind of ideals she has for the world she wants to create.
I don't get how Seigi is able to see what's happening when he clearly ran away from the place the battle was taking place.

BB entrance at the end was cool, Pretty sure he'll die next episode now.
Cal is a Tsundere, Her blushing makes her cute and badass. The little bit at the end did kind of sever the intensity of the episode, But I liked it xD

The comedy was very poorly placed and the battles were kind of lackluster considering how they played up this operation. I guess I was okay with the groping bit since it was pretty bbrief and not right after a super serious scene, meanwhile the teasing the tsundere scene was awful and made me feel like I wasted my time watching this episode.

This episode was hilarious for me, they've embraced the stupid. What was the point of having Il there with a mega-transformation when she didn't show up for the rest of the episode.

Cal/Kal could have brought down those BLACK HAWKS herself.

That elegant-wanna-be guy got killed after 5 min from his debut or so... well that wasl quick I think. Didn't knew that Seigi has a healing ability, and that commander is going to die already? *sigh* way too quick for me.

Bad as usual. Makes no sense as usual. Embraces the cliches as usual.

A question:

Why is Touko not doing anything? Does she have a tatoo for nothing?

The protagonists are going to get a random power up next episode. You heard it here first!

The Princess clearly said she took control of Il's tattoo so the power won't transfer to Touko.

Yeah.. it has been that way for a few episodes now and it's probably the WORST part of the show which says a lot. If they got rid of that and toned down a bit of the fanservice I think this could have been pretty good so far.

I don't hate the show, in fact it's keeping me around. This episode had some interesting dialogue about heroes and it felt the author was taking a bit of a dig at shounen protagonists.
