Really good conclusion to the opening arc, especially since almost this entire episode was payoff to the first. Ryoko is definitely becoming a favorite character of mine in a hurry between her wit and attitude. Not to mention style. Seriously, who breaks the heel of her shoe only to piggyback on her manservant until another pair of shoes can be delivered to her? Ryoko, that's who.

Speaking of Izumida he's quite an entertaining character himself and the relationship between the two is definitely fun to watch. I liked how the character interactions fit snuggly into the show despite a lot of focus being on the plot this episode, proving that you don't have to sacrifice one of those for the other. To sum it up I'm just really loving this series so far and it's nice to have something I'm actually excited about watching when the sub comes out as opposed to "oh right, I'm watching that show..."

Exactly !

This episode was simply brilliant, just like the first, as well-written as directed and the characters are awesome too. Without the shadow of a doubt the best anime of the season (it's not as if it was unexpected though, the series is based on Legend of the Galactic Heroes' Yoshiki Tanaka's novels !!!).

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

That was a great episode :) I love this show. It has a sense of stylishness that I like :) Ryoko and Izumida are awesome characters. I like their relationship ^_^ I also like the op/ed themes and the BGM. I may need to pick up the OST for this. I look forward to the next episode! *_*

This show saves the summer season. My favourite part was when Ryoko said "That's not what you're supposed to say."

Awsome episode. This show is surely becoming one of my favourite ongoing series, both for its interesting plot and for Ryoko. She has the hell of an attitude and confidence! She's just awsome x)
Oh, and I'm very impressed with the soundtrack, different from the usual ones. It pleases me to hear jazz-like sounds in this anime, since it suits the mood perfectly ^^

This show has been one huge pleasant surprise. After many contenders have fallen this season, it seems we have a possible champion.

Naisu! Naisu! (^-^)
However Fox Mulder/Dana Scully are still unbeatable in this genre.
I'm also wondering about the romance line between the main characters - I bet they'll got married by the end of the show ^.^.
The mosters like giantic snakes and some tricks like pulling out the gun with a blazing arrow are a little bit.. childish.. But the great music and Ryoko's character outweights these tiny nuisances. So I enjoy it afterall! ^^
Looking forward to the next episode!

I think I'll cut my losses early and drop this series now. I'm not a fan of Ryoko and the jumpy pacing is bugging me.

Animation, character interaction, story... 'Twas all great. :D I'm definitely sticking with this.

That's what I thought!! Okay conclusion, but it felt rushed and Ryoko is just....annoying.

The way Ryoko whirled around at the end was the best part.

Jazzy. The anime isn't stylish, but it's extremely confident in itself. Lots of attitude coupled with a vibe that reminds me of Western crime dramas than anything Japanese. That's sans the SCIENCE that occurs though, which more so recalls Western comics if anything. Cool stuff so far.

it's classy! it defo reminds me of lupin iii but less lively.

a good conclusion to the first arc. i liked the end where she jumped into his arms!

this anime's mystery aspect isn't my cup of tea but it is quite interesting overall :)

This series would be a lot better if the male lead wasn't so subservient, so that we get more dynamic and balanced interplay between the spoiled girl with an attitude and the guy who won't put up with her shit. It would benefit Ryouko herself because it would reveal a less glamorous side of her when she doesn't get her way. That two leads and their chemistry are the most important thing in a series like this.
