| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode was awesome and didn't waste time getting into the action with Chise. I like how this episode adapts an assassination style of storytelling. A very thrilling episode. We also learn a bit more about Chise as well, one of the more mysterious characters in this show. Also kinda unique that the setting of this episode took mostly on a train. |
 |
| Great episode. 5/5 They showed us how they met Chise. It's sad that she had to kill her own father. Honestly didn't see that coming. Quite emotional. Beatrice was lucky that she survived that strike from Jubei. I want to see her imitate more voices. Of course, Dorothy would 'seduce' the Japanese representative. |
 |
| Got to meet Chise in this episode. She is very skilled with the sword. Her action sequences were amazing. Sword fighting on a train is very cool. Beatrice got lucky when Jubie struck her. Her voice changer saved her. Dorothy was also lucky. It's sad Chise had to kill her own father. It was emotional. Now she's part of the team. |
 |
| I only caught on that Jubei could be Chise's father when he uttered his last words. Sucks for Chise. Really liked the use of the healing spell her father taught her, made for a pretty sad scene at this grave. The swordfight was really cool. |
| Owie Owie go away T_T |
 |
| I fucking love this anime so much man......Another badass episode in the books and now I like Chise a lot more than I originally did |
| After a weaker episode 3 and 4, I think this one went back to be awesome, the action scenes were amazing, and that owie owie hit me right in the feels. |
 |
| This episode is the main reason my I love this show. Its storybuild and preparation is as good as the first person and It also gave me kind of same impact as the first episode. I'd love to see the progress of this show next week. But seriously, what's with that Ange-Chise chitchat scene? LOL random pick-and-put card and those soldiers don't even get mad at all |
| Back to case 7 now, Chise is introduced properly. I like the train as the setting. Funny how there is always enough time for the girls (or rather Ange in this case) to change outfits. :) What do you guys make of the card game section with the guards. Like, Ange and Chise played against each other while passing this wagon? |
| Any reason this couldn't have been last week (so we got to know Chise before just lobbing her in the team) other than for this show to pretend it's way better and way more clever than it actually is? That being said, this was entertaining enough even if the whole thing was very, very predictable (yet more proof that this show is nowhere near as good or as clever as it wants to be or as it's fooling so many into thinking it is). |
| Chise ep, a japanese lord comes to talk and gets accompanied by the princess. Chise gets teamed up with ange and she kills her father who is the assassin and then joins the princess :'( |
 |
| -seems like this is chise's introduction episode -title drop roll end credits -this could be a pretty interesting setup -hey imagine if that kid was todo jubei haha -is chise just a huge chuuni -that guard's walk looks pretty swanky -alright this train sequence is actually pretty swanky -i can't believe beatrice is fuckin dead -i had the slightest inkling that she and jubei were related, but now it makes sense that he chose to totally ignore horikawa in favor of dueling chise -also i didn't notice the first time that chise used her offhand to bolster her swordbreaking strike, which probably means breaking her father's sword was her goal for the entirety of the duel -wait dorothy survived an explosion that blew a hole in steel? -the little exchange between ange and chise at the end was pretty heartwarming So all of the action sequences in this episode far surpassed any other of the action that was going on in the show in previous episodes. The whole stop-the-train sequence happening simultaneously with Chise’s duel is just something I love seeing. The whole segment with Ange and Chise working together to catch up to the engineer’s car was also pretty spectacular. This episode being the chronologically first time that the East and West (macroscopically) have been mingled was pretty interesting to see, especially between Chise and Ange at the end because it like, signals the start of their friendship or something. It seems like they have also returned to the style of storytelling they had in the first two episodes, which involves having a twist revealed at the end of the episode, but the twist this time was pretty mild in comparison. I still liked the episode overall, though, because the second half was nearly all action. |
 |
| Really liked this flashback about how the girls met Chise, the way she had to send her father off to the next world was sad. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
QuynhNhu said: A lot of action this episode and it was great. This is case 7 and Chise is introduced, so I think that in the future with case 3, 4, 5, 6 she will be absent. It's a pity because I really like her, she is an interesting character, cute and a double spy. Beato, being a robot has managed to survive. yea, i wish this episode was case 4 or 5 so we can see her more often. Ps: the katana sound effect kind of weird for me, it sound to low like bigger sword, steel staff or pole axe compare to other anime that use katana. |
| I'm starting to get used to the messed up order of these case files. It's nice for character development, though I'm not sure if it gets too messed up that I have to go back on some episodes to look for clues later on. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Chise gets her full introduction in this episode and she's certainly a match against Ange as they battled briefly, but at least they worked like a duo dream team as they made easy work of the enemy soldiers and samurais. The target was Chise's father, Jubei and his duel against his own daughter was impressive. Chise might've won the duel, but the scene at his grave by the tree (beautiful sunset background BTW), her saying "Owie owie fly away" as she started crying really hit me. The feels was strong. D= @Atavistic It might be a little predictable at times, but personally, the show does a very good job with the execution of the action scenes, bgm and character interaction that makes the shows entertaining, but also good as well. Hence why a lot of people watching this show up to this point really enjoy it, myself included. =) Overall, this was a thrilling episode all throughout, although since this was case 7, would the next set of episodes cover the cases before this one, if it does that is? It reminds me of the broadcast order vs the chronological order of the Haruhi Suzumiya Series now. >_< |
| Very solid episode in terms of story-telling and the formal introduction of Chise and the action scenes were quite amazing. Am I the only one who noticed the movement scenes were kinda off though? Like looking at the way the Japanese characters moved felt a little dramatic with how they walked or jogged. I think it was on purpose to emphasize the difference in body movements between the easterners and westerners but who knows? Also, seems like the broadcasting order is like that of Haruhi Suzumiya so I wonder if they will rebroadcast this or release the BDs with the episodes arranged in the proper case order. |
| Don't believe the hype. |

I definitely want to rewatch this in the proper case order so that the details are more consistent. |

| This had to have been the best episode so far! That sword fight was epic! |
papachulu said: Legendary assassin gets dominated by 12 years old girl. Cool. LOL!! I think Chise said she was 19, but still, hilarious nonetheless. Only in anime. But anyway, good episode. My favorite scene was at the end, when Chise chanted her spell on her heart :'( |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| This episode was predictable and mediocre. Jubei being Chise's father was very predictable. |
| That's without a doubt the best episode so far in my opinion. One epic swordfight, and it looks like this case was Chise's introduction. |
  |
| Another great episode, fast and action packed, very exciting to watch. I was very impressed with Chise, she is a great addition to the team. I liked what she showed in the previous episode. Ange was great yet again. Looking forward to watching the next episode. |

| Chise is a badass! I love it. |
 |
| so... Chise joins the groupie after the first arc (case 1-6.) This episode is Yuki Kajiura. Yup, finally I can say that it's definitely her. |

| This was my favorite episode so far. A Chise-centric episode. |
| On the shortlist of most enjoyable episodes from any show this year. That was a good one. |

papachulu said: Legendary assassin gets dominated by 12 years old girl. Cool. It's more of pupil surpassing their master, him being her father and everything. |
 |
| Episode was lit favorite one yet still felt like we should of gotten this before last week but hey at least we now know how Chise joined I'm not crazy right i can tell when Ryouma Ebata does Sakuga since he has noticeable work in all the H3Z shows , always liked how much weight and sway is showcased in it good stuff!. |
 |
| "How Strange. Your spell isn't working, Father. It won't take away the pain in my heart". Another great episode, with nice BMG, fight and feels. |
| Holy the action in this episode and the BGM is really amazing! Nice one~ |
 |
| Well that explains where Chise came from. People were asking that last episode haha. Was a decent introduction, fitting of a ninja, for her intro to be an episode that is spectacle exactly like a samurai film. This series has been doing an amazing job of building upon itself and really sticking true to it's themes, especially with that first episode being a sort of typical-looking science-gone-wrong plot. I much more appreciate the character growth and various troubles they end up involved in, while well keeping the victorian special-agent atmosphere. That was a very good fight, and clearly trying replicate what Sword of the Stranger did, and quite a decent job. Some people may not have noticed how the episode order is alinear, and that could be impacting how they feel about the series. It's been a long while since an anime has done this. Looking forward to rewatching it in chronological order when it's finished. |

| Great episode, cool fight scenes together with Yuki Kajiura music. Best episode so far. Owie Owie fly the feels away. guyklc said: papachulu said: Legendary assassin gets dominated by 12 years old girl. Cool. LOL!! I think Chise said she was 19, but still, hilarious nonetheless. Only in anime. She's 16 |

| We wanted a Chise episode, and we got it. Now we see how the Japanese fit into the story and Chise's reason for being part of the Pigeons. LOL at Chise bringing out the English-Japanese Dictionary when she heard the word "Buddy". I'm actually glad that they put that there to show that she's not completely versed in English and to remind us that we're in London. Yes I know everyone talks in Japanese, but that little scene still shows that there's a bit of a language barrier between the Japanese and English. And the buddy-buddy talk with Ange and Chise was great. Chise actually took the Black Lizard Planet literally, which surprised Ange. Glad to see that this anime likes to have some fun now and then. Beatrice has to be thankful once again for having that mechanical neck. Jubei would have cut that neck right off. And an excellent swordfight indeed. No speaking during the fight except scenes to show what is happening elsewhere. The animation could have been a little bit better, but the choreography was stellar. You also have to give credit to Ange with her C-Ball and flying and shooting all over the place. |

Tropisch said: Either Chise or still Beatrice. It always hard to pick cute... I mean coolest character if the story is get shuffle'd.I think Chise's the coolest / best character in this anime after this episode tbh. |

Nexxkinn said: Actually, if you look carefully, several instances involve the soldier's expression changing (for the worse) as soon as the cards are swiped or deposited. Well, there are actually only a handful of sequences with each of them repeated, often multiple times, and 2 of those involve the expression changing. This episode is the main reason my I love this show. Its storybuild and preparation is as good as the first person and It also gave me kind of same impact as the first episode. I'd love to see the progress of this show next week. But seriously, what's with that Ange-Chise chitchat scene? LOL random pick-and-put card and those soldiers don't even get mad at all This was one of a handful of scenes where there was a noticeable shortcut or drop in quality - probably so they could put more emphasis on the fight scenes. |
| So this episode is like backwards since this is how they met Chise and how she joined Ange's spy team! Chise's a badass katana user! As always epic OST by Kajiura Yuki! 4/5. |
 |
| As I thought, this anime only keeps getting BETTER and BETTER after each episode. Loving the hell out of it. Now we know what makes Chice tick, and her back-story. Well done at that too. And we're shown yet again that Princess has guts, if it wasn't obvious already. |
