Really good episode. The only complaint I have is what Kanzaki did to Sophie is just... Oh well, I guess I should just get used to her.
Elena's interesting. The standoff in the classroom was hilarious. And I really like Uisuke. He's cool and episodes 6 and 7 prove that he's a good fighter as well. Also, the guy's decent; he covered his eyes long before Sophie's clothes started tearing off.
When did Shizuno become friends with Edward's maid? Though the two are pretty similar when it comes to protecting their men. Edward's maid fought Moroha to see if he was worthy of Edward's time and in this episode, Shizuno fought Elena for Moroha's sake. Shizuno is really powerful BTW. That ice dragon was awesome!
Since Elena's sword can absorb dark magic, maybe Moroha will have to rely on Flaga's powers to defeat her. I'd like to see that.

That outfit, that date and that duel was awesome. It's expected that she's an assassin. Just from her looks and her motives toward Moroha.

A quick search suggests that the studio may be trying to do too much, and Diomedea likely doesn't have the resources for all the shows they're putting out. They're therefore putting their main effort into the bigger series and letting "lesser" ones like this fall by the wayside.

As such, production delays are probably forcing them to cut corners. If they didn't have the budget, they shouldn't have tried to pull off those scenes in the first place. So it's much more likely that limited production resources left them unable to complete the episodes on time as they'd originally intended, and they opted for obvious shortcuts in order to make their deadlines.
If that's it, the problem could theoretically correct itself in an episode or two if they brought in outside help, but a more likely scenario is they never get caught up, and we suffer this through the entire remainder of the series, possibly even getting worse.


As for the rest of the ep:
Characters were more fun than usual, with even Satsuki being bearable while getting played, which is why it's such a shame the production is going to hell in a hand basket.
And with the new girl being second only to Shizuno, this seems like Russia's season. So many shows where some of the best characters are Russians, and so much actual Russian getting spoken. The Russian in me is smiling.


Pretty sure the BD release is gonna fix the animation problems. And speaking of animation problems, did you mean the instant changing in a character's posture without the motion? Cause that was my only problem. Aside from that, it's good.(Well, at least better than having eyes that don't match sizes.)
Watch the fight at the beginning again. Pay attention to character movements when they should be moving. You'll notice several instances where it's just a still picture scrolled up or down on a static background - not even the slightest hint of movement. Also look carefully throughout the episode and look for movement when there should be some level of movement. There are a lot of stills cutting to other stills, which is a cheap trick to avoid animating.
It's not as extremely obvious as the monster last ep, but it is definitely there.

There's nothing wrong with her eyes, you deplorable virgins!

She got a cute Russian MILF seiyuu.

Animation still sucks.

The f are you talking about? We have one eye hairstyles in our real world,
and that's her hair design in the light novel.

Why they can't improve their animation?

FFF late.

I have a feeling that Elena will soften-up to Moroha's group thus loosing her loyalty to her Russian boss. Elana very bland char btw.

Her fucking eye is so strange. They should at least covered it completely with her hair.


My thinking threw the whole episode. We got it, her eye is normal. Now stop showing it over her damn hair. It seems stupid.

Only one person mentioned anything about Elena stroking Haimura's dick.. I thought the scene was pretty weird.

goddamn that blonde chick who always says "demmit".. for a second there she looked like that smokin hot nurse from HOTD. God, I miss that show.

I don't speak Russian so I don't know if they're doing a good job speaking it.

Shizuno's logic:
-finds out Elena's a skilled fighter specializing in killing fellow savors

-tries to fight her alone without telling anyone.

..stupid bitch. I've seen this kind of shit a lot. Characters trying to handle things on their own despite knowing full well they will just fail and end up being a burden rather than helping the protagonist.

Seems like they put most of the budget into Sophie's naked body, good decision. Elena is a hottie, though seems like the black widow kind of hottie.
