Of course not =) This is an "Anime no Chikara" project, so it is not based on manga or a computer game.

A nice episode there, though I didn't understand much =)

Anyway, filler much? I fail to see any real reason behind this episode, other than that ^^; (Oh well, there was at least some Yukina, so I shouldn't complain)

I kind of doubt it's important, since it was some Lieutenat dude's vacation pictures or something.

LOL. -saves-
I mean, wth was this episode? xD Kinda like the Sora no Woto one about Kanata (was that even her name? Idk) having to pee. Only not boring. Or filled with blushing and moaning of a moeblob.
I actually liked it xP Oh, and I wonder what was the Memory Reset guy doing there. Only casually supervising?

Also, is Aoi European? o.O Or did he just visit Europe sometime in the past? His name would indicate the latter, but we all know how hit-and-miss can anime creators be with their characters' names xP

Filler episode, but it was still kinda enjoyable.

The German was fantastic though. I really like whenever anime chooses to go the realistic route with languages and foreign places. Also enjoyed the moment where they actually talking about the politics at the moment. Although, kinda confusing as they're in Europe, but refer to China as 'this country'.

Well, I could easily be wrong, but what coutry are they in during this episode? I mean, it seems like China, but the waiter isn't speaking Chinese and Europe is referenced shortly after.

They say "this country" because they're still in China.
Yukina says she went to "Little Russia", so it shouldn't be strange to even have a "Little Germany" there, where of course they mostly speak German ^_^
It's like the Chinatown or Little Italy districts you have in many cities nowadays.

Anyway, I enjoyed this episode, especially the "James Bondish" music you can hear at around minute 5 if I'm not wrong ^_^

Shanghai was carved up back then. Most part of the city was ruled by foreigners (mostly Europeans, but this includes the Japanese as well), with only a tiny fraction ruled by the Chinese. This was due to the Unequal Treaties China was forced to sign when she lost the wars with the different Imperialists. Therefore, it's not surprising at all that many places in Shanghai at that time had European-like buildings along with Westerners.

Also, it made me happy that Aoi said Japanese shouldn't decide the fate of China :)

The Chinese girl (Fuuran?) speaking Japanese with a Chinese accent was funny, even though her Chinese was bad, lol.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Well, at first I was like "Oh god, this is a filler episode, isn't it?" but as it went on, I realised that it was actually quite a good filler episode. It's a nice opportunity for them to set up the characters properly, which they haven't really had the time to do since the plot has been almost non-stop. If anything, this is a much-needed breather episode.

Also, it's nice to see the first hint of Natsume actually having a personality. I hope they actually do something with his character as time goes on, he seems like the kind of person the writers will just forget about entirely.

Pretty enjoyable for a filler episode. But i wonder will 13 episodes be enough for this show. There is still some other things that we don't know like how does their power works? Is it have some requirement or not? the past of the member of the team, etc .

My guess is they will make the story about Yukina and her brother as the main story.

Also, I think the animation really went downhill this episode :/

I haven't read the manga or see whatever this is adapted from, but I don't think this is a filler. Even if it is, it's an important episode because it gives us insight into Aoi and Kazura's personalities, especially how completely different they are in the way they think and do things. We could even say they are foils of each other. But like Yukina said, they make a great pair and this is because they each have what the other guy doesn't. I think this difference, complement in personalities will play a role in their missions later.

Anyway, good episode. I really enjoyed the laidback feel in preparation for more tension next episode. Oh, and need I mention this anime has an awesome soundtrack!

I guess the only important thing in this episode is showing how Kazura and Aoi work together and how they finish their task in their own way.
They both going in the same route and reach the same goal but both reach in a different method and way.I guess it match their personalities also ^^
Kazura:decisive,smart,forestalling
Aoi:straightforward,brutal,going againts one's will.
Sometimes I wonder why Kazura didn't like to use his skill so much(maybe I missed something in the previous episode but the Kazura's flashback tell only little..).Does using the skill too much can cause bad side affect or something.....??

I really have no idea, but my theory would be that since they seem to have a time limit as to how much they can use their powers, I'd say (going by his personality) that he uses it as little as possible to be sure that he can use it when he really needs it.

For filler and not really being about the main story this episode was really good. Sure, if it's a short series they probably shouldn't do to much of this but I liked it I'm not gonna lie.

Mildly disappointing as it turned out to be a light filler episode. Still, one that features food is always a winner and the episode itself was fairly entertaining.

This was the usual cat theft Code Geass simulation episode. I see this kind of episode more and more. As it goes it will become a must filler for action shows like we see many swimsuits episodes for ecchi shows.

But i guess since we never had time to feel for the characters this may help us connect with them a little bit.

13 episodes and we get no one, but two filler conventions that I loathe: food and cat chasing. Bullshit episode. Instead of finding a canonical, plot-progressing reason to display the nature of Kazura and Aoi's relationship, we git this trash. VERY disappointing.
