Damn those are some cool moves this episode. Poor dog though lol. As I had thought, Ibara stands out as the leader of the trio with her moves and style. God, that ED song is brilliant.

Oh well cool, Taeko has super vision while Aoi has no super powers? That grandma must be quite healthy, her movements were like that of young people. Hm was an okay episode imo, some parts were interesting.

Also reminds me of Roadside Picnic with zones, fact that not much is known about what had happened. There are no strange objects or powers and hopefully it will stay like this.

In the end it was fine episode - Aoi is still useless but maybe she will start to be usefull in the future.

Great animation and ok story I guess but for some reason 3 episodes in, I'm still not feeling the characters. The 3 girls in particular are poorly written IMO.

I'm guessing that those guy in the stealth bomber are the ones that's making the contamination worse.

Fuck, since when did a stealth bomber like that have machine guys? the last time I'ver heard it that those bird don't have any defensive armaments but bombs and anti-ship missiles.

I'm still hating on Aoi, the best thing she's done so far is pick up that gun but besides that she's useless. Glasses is okay, she's got her enhanced senses and the main girl does most of the work.

It looks like we're finally moving onto something interesting into the story now that they're chasing after that stealthy plane.

well those machine guys were just the pilots and stealth bombers have a very wide variety of armaments including air to air, air to surface missiles and so on

Fun fact those bombers are only used by the u.s.a so wonder if they are going to keep that fact in the anime as those bombers themselves are still highly classified in how they are made and so on.

But unlike most of the people here i really like this anime. I was a huge fan of the manga and so far it's been a great adaptation of it

arm muscle and leg muscle are not the same also reflex =/= physical strength.

this show is decent so far

Remember, this takes place in the future. So by that point in time, B2 bombers may not be exclusively used by the US. That's not to say that the US isn't involved. Just another possibility.

I also really like this anime. It's starting to get pretty interesting now. Nice follow-up episode.

So it seems like we finally met the man responsible of building the plant that eventually destroyed the city.
Sort of left off w/ a cliffhanger with this other secret organization and not only that, they gave us a hint that something man made is corrupting certain parts of the city even more.
Also learned more about their DNA and genetics. i.e. the shots made from their cells.

"I just wanted to see this city with my own eyes..."

I definitely like Ibara for being the strong female lead, but she can be very one-dimensional. I can't say what I feel about the other two characters. Taeko doesn't particularly interest me, and I think some of us can agree that Aoi is annoying... she also has the "superpower" of eating too much :P

Really don't know what to say about this series yet...

So I guess they didn't leave the father there to die like I thought. That part was good at least.

The rest was quite silly. They couldn't do deliveries because they lost their keys? Or the dog took them? But then they don't really mind being taken away even though everyone who was counting on them will get no more deliveries?

A B2 to drop radioactive material? And pick up obaachans who see the 'big crow' that was completely obvious to us but they couldn't see unless Aoi took her glasses OFF!!! Then the B2 took off with 2 feet of runway... why not make it a VTOL???

Brain off for the rest of the season... will see if I can manage to watch any more of this silliness.

This was just terrible. At least if the show wasn't trying to be serious I could somewhat understand but it feels like they are jumping from scene to scene.

Let's start from the top.+

1. THE WOLF stole car keys.

2. I like how the mission changed instantly from finding granny to seeing what the B2 was about. One moment they were desperate to find her and another they just simply didn't seem to care.

3. Who the hell uses a B2 to smuggle(if that's what they were doing)? Now let's focus a bit on the dialogue in rescue scene, two outcomes can be implied... if the B2 is dropping radioactive material, then them landing because a old woman in the city saw them is retarded. If the B2 is not dropping the radioactive material and the guys on the ground are responsible for that then that's equally retarded because the guys would die from it, and they would also be using a B2 TO SMUGGLE STUFF, A B2... not even something like a blackhawk.. a damn B2.

4. The dialogue in general is asinine "If you are a scientist stand proud"... stand proud for what? That you messed up and destroyed tokyo lmfao? Also "Everyone wanted this" when earlier in the episode they explicitly said no one wanted that lmao...

5. How the hell are they going to fight a stealth bomber with a stinger anyway..

Wasn't horrible like episode 2, but not good either. Only 1 melodrama scene and it wasn't bad, as the scientist's feelings are more logical, unlike the girls'. The twist in the end finally sets expectations for an actual plot besides episodic rescuing, but there were also a few holes in this episode, although far from being as rage-inducing as the previous one.

The annoying girl said, "something, something...yellow cake" in the preview, so I guess they are dropping uranium. Also the old dude mentioned that there have been increasing amounts of zones where the contamination is worse and that whatever is the cause has to be man made, not that uranium is man made but it isn't just sprouting up, someone is dosing the city.

When the professor asked Ibara what it was she shot at him, my brain was like "RadAway."

Better than the first two episodes. I still don't like how they cut so much info from the manga.

The dialogue continues to be somewhat mediocre, and honestly I am finding it difficult to get attached to the characters. The story, however appears to be moving and I'm grateful for that.

I am still liking the premise, but the story and characters have to step up to fulfil its potential, which it is not doing at the moment. I will still stick around due to its potential, but so far it has been 2 lacklustre episodes (first 2 episodes) and an 'okay' 3rd episode. So far, it has been an average anime with hints of brilliance but never truly showing it.
