The only thing I want from this series is the Hotaru gender being revealed. With another female character introduced, I thought she would of recognize that the protagonist was female or hopefully later on.

Didn't like how Hotaru reacted to being placed on another team, she way to depended on those guys. Go team up with other people, like that new female character.

I can't shake off the "Ouran-esque" vibe from this but I like Tachibana. I'll keep watching for her. Plus I'm interested in seeing some enemies.

Nice episode. That bloodlust Tachibana though. Wonder how things will turn out next episode.

Somehow I don't really like Hotaru's attitude in this episode. I understand that she doesn't want to be Masamune's puppet, but at least listen to your leader's instruction and don't be a burden to your team!

As for me, I just want to know Masamune and Midori's history. There must be something happened in the past between them, from the OP it seems Masamune lost his precious friend (girl probably) because Midori.

Also, I think Midori already noticed that Hotaru is a girl.

I think I've finally realized why I just can't stand Hotaru

Well for one there's her annoying sense of justice of course, but that's not the main issue here. I think basically she's the kind of person who would make the absolute worst kind of teammate you could ever have when playing a competitive shooter game or some sort of airsoft like this. She has no sense of strategy, she can't aim, she's hot-headed, she rushes forward without a second thought and tries to fight "straight-up" at every turn. The only thing that supposedly makes her strong is her "bloodlust". I mean wtf is that? Just pure willpower and wanting to help your friends doesn't mean shit in this kind of game. That kind of thing might work in a battle shounen but for an environment which is effectively competitive warfare with modern weapons? Just no. If Hotaru wins anything with that kind of play it'll just feel like pure plot armor and nothing more. It's annoying to watch :s

Though of course in this episode she ended up getting insta-killed time and time again in practicality which is JUST what would in fact happen to anyone who tried to play like that in reality, so I'm glad the anime is at least realizing that she is in fact playing like an idiot

.

Very well said.

Yukimura is the best.

They need to figure out Hotaru is a girl. It's blatant lying at this point. No misunderstandings here.



Ok this is so true, they really need to figure out Hotaru is a girl, although that's what keeps the story interesting I guess...

Its really making me super angry that Hotaru isnt correcting anyone when they call.... "her" a guy, as far as im concerned, Hotaru is a guy until proven otherwise.
I just hope they stop bringing up this gender bs or sort it out quickly because to me its just needlessly getting in the way of my fun.

Also.... mercenary PTSD kicking in, ty very much Hotaru you psycho.
Powered by yuri.
Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT!

I soooo wanna know what that guy has done. This ending was kinda heartbreaking, I'm sure Tachibana won't shoot Matsuoka and Yukimura.

Tachibana was really getting on my nerves with her arrogance so I'm happy Masamune actually decided to do something about. She's in dire need of character development.

Fujimon is cute

I like how so many people in this thread conveniently decide to, for the sole reason that they dislike Tachibana no less, ignore the fact that Tachibana realized she had gone too far and was in the process of apologizing before emo Matsuoka cut her off.

Don't get me wrong though, Tachibana was definitely out of line. That was no way to speak to a veteran and to the team leader...but I just feel like Matsuoka reacted the way he did due to personal reasons (i.e the Midori flashback) moreso than because of Tachibana and I didn't like that. This in turn made me feel like his treatment towards her after she called them arrogant was unfair considering he said similar things to what Midori had said to him in the past (obviously things he doesn't like hearing). I smell a bit of hypocrisy there. He also didn't have to say it the way he did and could have gone about it completely differently. Tachibana isn't solely to blame.

Anyway, I'm a bit skeptical towards whether I'll be dropping this or not. The next episode will be the deciding factor. Although I'm still reluctant to stop watching it because of Yukimura...I laughed so hard at "You savage!" and "Brute! Idiot!".

Uhh... what's up with Midori and Fujimon? I mean, obviously-creepy white-haired guy keeps blushing around secretly-creepy doctor?

Still shipping Masamune and Hotaru, hope that goes somewhere. .3. And still not a fan of Yukimura. What a perv.

Captain Sagara seems cool, but I feel like I've heard that name before.... Captain Sagara of Rurouni Kenshin? Haha, odd coincidence. (Also Sanosuke took that name as his surname, but he's not a captain. .3.)

Weird episode this time around.
Not quite what I expected, at least a bit of drama.
The first half was better I think, well next episode than.

Tachibana's blood lust is something else!
LOL Matsuoka just thrashed Tashibana! good for her because she's the one being arrogant because she's a beginner that's being so confident it gets her own good.
4/5.

Midori's kinda disturbingly twisted.

Whaaaaaaaaa, why all the hate?

I like this series and it hasn't turned to shit for me yet haha.
I guess to each their own ;P

I'm sure Hotaru hasn't been abandoned from Toy Gun Gun. She worries too much ^^' just needs to learn from being apart. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder lol

I was surprised to see evil Midori in Mattsun's trauma flashback ;O what a sadist lol. No wonder he claimed him to be "my Masamune-kun" when talking to Yukki earlier D;

I say she deserves that punishment. Harsh, but really, she was asking for it. Her pride's too damn high she needs to be pulled down more than a couple of pegs.

Tachibana is kinda like Hinata from Haikyuu. They have so much potential and are a natural at what the do, but both are so inexperienced and haven't found their right fit (yet).
