I sort of liked it.
There needs to be at least one death in this anime.

Part of the fort used to be a Japanese school, and they were in the music room. I wonder if this is set like hundreds of years after K-On o_o.

Fun episode, Kureha is Private Tsundere. Hmm, they mentioned that they were on the border of a place called Nomansland. I wonder if there's going to be more to that later on.

So here's how I think everything turned out the way it is: some people in the past started World War III with high tech weapons and threw nukes around, thus destroying most of humanity. Humans being persistent rebuild but take a whole step back technology-wise. Since they aren't a lot left, they gather around and there's like this cultural melting-pot that gets started, so that's why the girls live in a Spanish city, in francophone Switzerland and have Japanese names. And since Japan is quite far away, the Japanese were probably the ones that started the war by invading Europe with a secretly developed cyborg-ninja army with funds stolen from hard workin Koreans in the pachinko business. Oh my, this show just spoiled Japan's plan of invasion!

The tank is a mecha weapon of the last war, some people will probably throw a flying Gundam at those poor girls too.

Okay people, I've said the truth, you don't need to watch this anymore.
Man, this theory rules :D


Anyways, the episode was plain great, I enjoyed every bit of it.

I don't think they wanted to give the audience a clear idea of the time period- They have automated tanks, but they're still handling rifles and use instruments and... antique telephones for communication.

Fucking hell, Kureha is a Tsundere.

That wasn't that interesting, the first episode was better.

A little bit K-ON style SOL. Its fairly entertaining!

Owl thin form was funny but I already saw that on TV show. It doesnt change the fact that its funny though.

3.5/5

Those ratings. Are we seriously watching the same show? All I am noticing is a masterpiece. If you are like me, you'd appreciate something like this to death.

This is a lot more like Haibane Renmei than K-on. Like come on. Well, I love both anyway.

Impressive how Kureha managed to annoy me enough to write a forum post about it. She is flat out insufferable. Really downgrading my overall enjoyment, so I can only hope she changes for the better or at least gets less focus.

Kureha's so annoying,
Brilliant introduction, though

So futuristic tank, this is post-apocalyptic, then? Did Japan establish a colony near Switzerland (Helvetia?) or did France invade Japan?

Those nukes must have hit pretty hard for them to forget Kanji and Kana. While the language they speak would differ in the dub (I'm watching this subbed), the character names imply they're supposed to be Japanese.

Noel is me. I don’t know how the rest of them are functioning without sleep.

I like how Rio just pitches the scouting duty on her subordinates. Hmm... Makes me wonder what happened for this building to be like this now. Possibly another war broke out? A little mystery is stirring in this episode.

The good animation is wasted in another boring SOL anime. I hope the series becomes more dark and serious or at least better random stories cuz im bored.

Another great episode. The story is getting more interesting. I really like the visuals, especially in the opening.

Noel was hilarious. xD Kureha is a little annoying though.

Poor owl. ._.

Kanata is apparently terrible at playing the trumpet.😅 So much that Kureha was basically like, #Yousuck!

Finally everyone in the squad is properly introduced. It's still a bit early for me to say who's my favourite, but I did find the ghost hunting part amusing. Rats don't really bother me, but can you imagine if that was like a bunch of cockroaches? Now THAT would be something to send shivers up and down your spine!

I had quite the hype for this show. Surely it had so much potential but it had to be ruined due to poor direction and production in the end.
