If the production company thinks Aoi adds comic relief to this anime, then they are terribly, terribly mistaken. Although a single character shouldn't be enough to bring down a show's merit, Aoi's annoying personality and her tryhard attempt at being funny really ruins this somewhat serious anime.

In any case, another okay episode. However, the action scenes are pretty choppy and not very exciting or creative (like, come on, Naruse doesn't shoot and Haruto just shoots regularly). The quality of the art as well as character details are starting to lower as well...

I'll try and finish what I started, but this anime is really one of the worst.

I was never a Coppelion fan since the thick lines art style really pisses me off. But this episode is by far , the best of Coppelion. Next week seems to be interesting too.

Btw , I lol'd at this scene , lol xD

Seriously...Aoi is not even a worthy comic relief character. Also, she is incredibly incompetent, not sure what they were doing when they genetically engineered her. Maybe she's a fail one.

At least Haruto is making this slightly more enjoyable, he's only been in one episode but he's the most interesting character out of the four Coppelions so far. He's a pretty awesome character and seems to actually be more of a "doll".

Anyways what with that terrible directing at the end when we cut in on Haruto three times and then seeing what he was so surprised at. That was a really bad way to be dramatic...

Weakest episode to date.

Aoi's prescence in the show as a plot device to create drama is unnatural and poorly executed. She desperately needs more development. Ending was also bad, I haven't read the manga but It's obvious that Ibara is going to be ok.

It was cool when Haruto 360 no-scope'd those ghosts though.

I don't understand the purpose of her character. Is she comic relief? No, if you guys hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have even considered that. Is she meant to lighten the tone? it's not that dark anyways. Is she meant to make them seem more human? That seems unnecessary given that the other two girls are fairly "normal" (read: stock characters). Is her demeanor meant to show that the principle was too soft in training them? Plausible, but unlikely given that Haruto isn't like that at all. Is she just there because the mangaka wanted a "genki girl" because he/she likes that character type? seems most likely to me at this point. Is it just that normally, it would be a 1 or 2 man team, and they wanted to have more characters, but having 3 useful people would make their group too "overpowered"? it almost makes sense in context, but that doesn't mean anything in this show after the B2 scene.

So, yea, I don't really know why she's there. Seems like a waste of money for the military, but then, I know of real politicians who are far less useful and probably make much more than she's worth.

Haruto on the other hand seems like a pretty cool guy. At first I thought cleanup crew meant he was doing something to reduce contamination but as soon as the bullets started flying, I realized they meant "that" kind of cleanup crew.

Haruto seems to have two sides, one is compassionate and caring (how he reacted when Ibara was in danger) and the other side is that of a cold blooded killer.

Aoi had me cracking up this episode, normally characters would be like "forget about me, save yourselves!" Aoi is like "Screw that! Save me!"

Looks like Ibara will be out of commission for awhile.

Wow Aoi's ability is, no doubt hands downs, the most powerful in her squad. Her ability to just be plain annoying and useless is just really off the charts :D

When Haruto (or was it Naruse?) said "they're going to have their hands full...", was I the only one who thought "the first division has their hands full because Aoi will annoy them to death"?

I'm just going to wait until the series ends. I think I'll just sub to Crunchyroll and read the manga there haha.

Damn it, Aoi is pathetic in this show. I really don't know what to think of her anymore. To me, she's not comic relief either. Haruto is pretty cool though. I haven't seen him from the manga yet since he hasn't appeared there yet from where I am. Oh God, poor Ibara though. I hope she doesn't...

"If you shoot them, they'll die!"
"Exactly (grin)"

Haruto you rule, shut up Ibara and let this man take action.

God Aoi is seriously an eye sore at this point. Sorry Hana Kana, I love your voice, but she does not belong in this series. Every moment where she's supposed to be a form of cute comedy relief is the lowest point of the the scene. I'm willing to bet Aoi's presence in this series will make a 2 point difference in my score by the end, she's just that bad. The old men are barely tolerable as well, I really only have hopes for Haruto at this point.

I'm tired of the bullshit from Aoi.

This episode was good compared to before, only if this Haruto fella came in sooner. he's a cool dude. Ibara gets annoying with her bullshit, e.g when she was relieved that mutant looking guy had 1 eye that was still human then she ends up getting blasted by a tank. Haruto was needed I'm tired of our overly rightous Ibara senpai and her two followers. The thing I didn't like is that Haruto seems romantically attached to Ibara, I'm just not that into romance not done well which happens a lot in anime.

This isn't a bad anime. It's just the same thing every eps. Rescue, deal with someone's messed up issues, get hurt, go to a cliff hanger, resume next eps. Everyone's happy yeah! Do it again!

Ok, that's how I have felt watching this show. I'm trying to see the bigger picture here and be understanding that they are trying to show human behavior and the very nature of humans in a situation like this...but...cmon switch it up a bit.

geez....aoi is an idiot, for sure!! i wonder why such an annoying girl was sent on this important mission. it does not make sense. we could have a better replacement.
ibara would not die but she is seriously injured, i guess it was her mistake after all. why does a cool and strong girl like her have to be so nice even to monsters .....i hate that part of her.
Haruto was really cool!! love that character....... i guess he can help those poor girls somehow.

Thankfully this guy was paying attention in class and doesn't forget that been trained to carry out missions and to get things done unlike others who whine every 2 seconds.


Aoi can't comedy, can't drama, can't anything, someone please shut her up.
I think it's hilarious though how they went to rescue her and by the end they're practically telling her to get the hell out of the way.

Dang, defending Aoi keeps getting harder. Okay, I did find the scenes of her in captivity pretty funny, but the way she just ran outside literally made me facepalm involuntarily. Even for a character who isn't that bright to begin with, this felt less like a case of brainfart and more like a case of holding the Idiot Ball. HanaKana, I still love you, but I'm starting to feel you've really cast your net too wide this season. Here's hoping for some redeeming character development.

And yeah, that super-duper-dramatic multiple take in the end was hilarious. With the way they set up the final shot I thought Ibara turned into a flesh-eating radiation zombie or something.

Aoi is a pretty amazing character. She makes me dislike her more and more with each episode. It looks like Haruto is the only character in this Anime with some sense, hopefully he doesn't change. This episode was better than the others because of the new character but it was still pretty bad. It ended with a terrible cliffhanger, I mean c'mon, everyone knows she's going to be fine. Ibara wasn't any better than Aoi in this episode either, she's trying to use awful logic with people that are trying to kill her.

Finally! A character that isn't useless and retarded. Haruto showing up brought some much needed reality to this show, though the show still has plenty of retarded elements in it, like how all those soldiers can't seem to hit Haruto despite the fact that he's sitting on a tree! Really?! You have all those bullets and an assault rifle, but you still can hit one person sitting on a tree?

Aoi is still one of the most useless, retarded, and annoying characters I have ever seen. You'd think that being trained in the military would at least give her some ability to fight back, but no, she's utterly useless. I was so happy when they told her to run after the APC - only to leave her ass behind. LOL

I know they're trying to make Aoi the comedic relief character, but she just pissed me off this ep. You don't use the comedic character to endanger the cast and get the only main character worth a damn hurt.

Everything feels amateurish in this anime, specially when it tries to be serious and I just end every episode laughing at the lack of common sense of every single character, which is enjoyable, in some way.

I liked Haruto a hell of a lot more than I thought I would - I was worried he'd be really generic and dull.

That guy's face though, hot damn. I wasn't expecting that. Poor Ibara, though - beaten up and then blown up with a fucking tank. I really hope they save her.
