Lol, this episode was kinda amusing. Akari's display of talents with the apple and her hammer made chuckle a bit. Some of the other acts felt out of pace.

>Chaika blushes
Ah, she is becoming more conscious now.

Anyways, I found the episode to be kinda funny. Can't trust anyone in this series though..

I wonder who those murderers are and what goal they have.
Fake Chaika spotted from the ground up, especially the speech pattern.
The act they pulled for those thieves was hilarious, the last trick was frightening.
Chaika's face turns red like a tomato when she hears something romantic about Tooru.
She is very kind though, I would never help out those backstabbing thieves.

I have enjoyed Hitsugi no Chaika so much so far, but this ep.... felt like a filler. Only about 30 sec that seemed plot relative , don't know if the rest may have a role to play later on. 2/5

This episode felt like a filler episode to me. Those guys turned out to be thieves. Chaika still wanting to help her friend out despite that.

Chaika talk properly. Not real Chaika.

Love how 'The Silencer' makes a noise casting it.

I was really hyped when they were revealing another Chaika princess.. but all turned into disappointment after she was shown to have blond hair. Ahahaha.

Gillette doesn't want to suspect Chaika of having any ulterior motive. Even he seems to feel her innocent goal..

Team Chaika stumbles upon the Empire of Neo Gaz, which is operated by Princess Chaika; another Chaika with Blonde hair.

Akari & Toru's apple tricks were quite funny, along with Frederica transforming into Dragoon. Hahaha!

Nice conversation between the Chaikas.
White Chaika turning all red talking about Toru was cute. :3
Blonde Chaika's love poem was nice too.

Toru's hunch turns out to be real about them being a band of thieves.
Liked how effortlessly Acura siblings secured them. Piece of cake!
Rescuing Julia was just as easy. Team Chaika is one skilled squad.

Emissary sent to Duke Gavarni requesting the floating fortress Soara was murdered..
I wonder what's the significance of the fortress. Seems pretty robust!

Good episode. Blonde Chaika Julia was cute!
There'll probably be more real Chaikas in the later episodes though.

Filler episode overall.

At least there weren't too much Toru crushing on Chaika moments in this episode, that's the way I hope it stays.

So another Chiaka appears, but turns out to be a fake one. Can't help but laugh on the way they perform in front of the crowd.

Thieves huh, well at least Toru and Akari subdue them. Julia is in trouble but it was a short live rescued. Their journey is off once again.

Okay episode, not a lot of action in here. The last 30 secs of it looks interesting.

Hmm while they might not have been much relevant info to the main plot in this episode but from what they did show it seems that not everything about Gaz was seems to be true, the lack of info on him and teh fact that many of the former citezens of the gaz empire never even mentioned a complaint about him as well as the fact they said all those stories came out after the war ended all seem to point out there is some kind of government conspiracy going on.

Looks like next week episode will have some flashbacks about torus past which is good as once they show that it will give him a lot of character growth in this story although i cant reveal the whole thing just yet :P

hmm seems the floating fortress part will have a bigger role in the future cant wait to see it

Chaika. Episode Eight. Filler, shocking truth.

Akari makes for some fabulous comedy with her stories. And I'm getting the impression that either Gaz isn't dead, or there never was an Emperor Gaz at all.

Interesting episode
The groups talent show was pretty funny
When I first saw the blonde girl, I was like "no way, another Chaika" until their identities were revealed and I was like "ah man, I really want to see the other Chaikas"
The show is so mysterious.... and I love it XD

Those tricks of Akari and Toru were quite funny.

Too bad that Blonde-haired Chaika, who was also known as Julia, was a fake one.

I'm glad that Akari and Toru decided to save Julia.

Hmmm so this EP was pretty much filler. Seeing that there are only 4 EPs left - is this series going anywhere? :X

I don't think it all gets resolved that quickly and i don't think this'll get a 2nd season because it's not really that hyped or anything ( even though it's pretty good).

...Wait....aww, she was a fake, and a thief. :( Boo~~~ But, who knows! Maybe there will or will not be colored Chaika's anymore...and just the Red and White one....

But, other than that, it was an alright episode: The gang fought out a group of thieves that was "trying" to restore the Gaz Empire.

But, the best part....Chaika blushing! x3 Aww~! >W<

Now I know why I love the humor in this show. This series was done by the same guy who made Outbreak Company XD!

Akari = still the best girl.

After watching this episode, the Six Nations Alliance, the supposed good guys, look more and more shady. Sure the fake Chaika's group lived in the Gaz countryside and most likely didn't know what was going on in the capital but looks to me like they were very content with their old lives and that poem Julia recited indicates the empire was a beautiful place and the people loved their kingdom a lot. Doesn't fit with the whole "Emperor Gaz is evil" propaganda. The victors get to rewrite history you know.

this episode was less important matter of plot, but it was really fun and deepened slightly characters
Akari, the best girl in the anime, showed great skill and shamelessly
Chaika proved to be very kind, and Tooru being in the right job as Saboteur
I'm really curious about where the story will halt and next episode seems to talk about the past, I await eager

But loved Akari's moves here and Chaika's blush. And Toru looks cool in a cape.

I haven't seen a filler episode in anime for a long time! I don't mind this one though since it built up the world a bit more. Plus more Chaika cuteness and Akari hilarity. The performance scene was great for one.

Looking forward to the next episode as always!

It's extremely obvious that "Princess Chaika" is fake since all Chaika should have same appearance and have a marking line on her neck. And It's too obvious that those are pretending to restore the Gaz Empire, since from the start they appeared they already look like thieves! Who the hell fall for that scene!!!... And yes this Episode feels like a Filler Episode aside from the opening and ending scene.

So Chaika's father was a great magician and inventor to boot lol.

LOL, the Neo Gaz Empire castle...

Hahaha, that was some show they performed back there.

Well it seems she really wasn't a Chaika, but the leader of the thieves lol.

Tooru and Akari kicked their asses lol.

So Emperor Gaz did some some dodgy experiments on humans hm.

Filler? not exactly. They maybe fakes but they were remnants of Gaz Empire. It makes me think that Gaz Empire wasn't exactly bad since the people didn't seem to suffer and lived quite a peaceful life until the 6 countries attacked.

The performance was hilarious. Akari never failed to make me crack every episode XD. I'm thinking of putting her among my favorite list.. certainly one of the best & most original characters around.

Episode 08 was a very average episode, I know there were a few worthy moments such as partial reveals that indicated that Emperor Gaz was just a mysterious person who was a great wizard and was able to create many magic-using inventions and all but everything else about him is just rumours and it makes me wonder why the "Legendary Heroes" even attacked him in the first place.

I'm glad this will be getting a 2nd season because I don't think we will get much answers by the end of the first season.
