| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The action felt meh. Although for story purposes, this is the most serious episode so far. Got slightly better in the second half I guess and the girls are actually working together. I think Lecty's abilities improved as well. Is it also just me or does Kanata's sword seem quite big?  |
 |
| Pretty good showing by the girls against the beetles...not so much in their match. Time for a tournament! Looks like creepy glasses guy is gonna get even creepier... |
| Kanata is too op. Damn he one-shot that thing. |
| For now, Kanata has just fought in the limited time. And I think the glasses guy was possessed by the devil eyes. Look for next episode. |
 |
| OH poor Cafe, Poor dad better start rebuilding right away. I really can't stand Yuri, she's the one wanting to run away and yet she's so damn quick to blame Kanata. I have no clue why main MC has a thing for her. But atleast they finally call her out for her love for kanata . Oh and did he block that massive green beam with nothing but his arm, like really.....REALLY...but him going badass and finally getting into the fight made up for it. So let me guess glasses guy will become evil and steal Yuri Main MC is holding this show together right now, nothing else |
| Sooner or later, Kanata was bound to pull off some OP technique, but what exactly was that, if not magic? I like how he reaffirmed his superiority just before firing that blue Strike Blaster. That pretty much sealed the deal that Mistgun will never fall as long as he's in charge. I don't get Yuri.. She's still insistent on referring Kanata as a traitor and even believed he'd be the first one to run away. Despite all that, she's obviously in tsun-tsun love with him. Such complicated feelings. That megane guy will probably become the next villain. I may be going out on a limb but, he'll take up that Chimera eye to devise something and with Freon's suggestion being approved, his experiments will be used in the new Academy tournament. Recipe for disaster? |
 |
| You knew the OPness was coming from Kanata at some point and we finally got it. He just doesn't give a fuck about taking that credit. The girls were fighting pretty solidly here as well... of course, until it was time for their ranked match :P As for the overall episode, it was ok. I didn't expect too much. I still don't understand the reason for Kanata acting like a "traitor". And as always, Yuri gonna Yuri. |
 |
| Kanata the beast. That eye possed the stalker-dude i think?????? |

| Well, I still more curious why Kanada call traitor, maybe the power he used right now went berserker or something that's why they put all blame on him or was it when he rush into the enemy and kind of lose all high magic capacity. dunno. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Was hoping to see some good results at their ranked match, I shouldn't have expected anything. That badass Kanata moment was good though. |
Your taste in Anime is shit. Because you can't differentiate between what's good and bad. How sad. |
| We all knew Kanata was OP as fuck |
 |
| I like the fact that they lost. It's more realistic that they couldn't have won against one of the best teams. I don't like Yuri. She's a shitty character. Misora X Kanta FTW! |
| Quite the episode, finally some action. It seems Kanata has other power besides the base magic one. |
 |
| Finally we get to see Kanata's power. I wonder what the eye thing was... |
| The action as mostly lame and low-budget but Kanata was pretty badass, even if he is way too OP. I'm not looking forward to the tournament arc though if it means more low-budget action scenes. |
llcruz said: Kanata is too op. Damn he one-shot that thing. He reminds me of Tatsuya from mahouka |
 |
| Now I'm positive producers are just fucking around. You just can't write something so bad without deliberately putting effort into making really shitty dialogues and incoherent plot full of holes. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| this anime never fails to amuse me by how bad it can be.. I cri |
| Why the fuck is the fighting scene so half-assed? Studio problem or the mangaka problem? WTF. The most suckiest combat I ever see. |

| I was hoping that it would be Chloe who had feelings towards Kanata, since they are kind of close... But, well it is what it is, Yuri likes him (Obviously had to be the underclassman, tsundere girl) |
| This episode was meh all across the board, but i've come to expect that from this show, so I guess that made it a little more palatable. Yuri sure pisses me off, Kanata should tell her to take a hike. If anyone should be standing by a guy, it should be the girl who loves him, but she calls him a traitor more than anyone else does. And it's his other two friends who stood by him and believed in him instead. Those are solid peeps right there. |
| So what Misora said during Kanata's fight that his magic was different somehow seems to suggest he is hiding something. And from what was mentioned during the tournament it seem only few people know he was the one who took down that boss. The question is why is he hiding it to such extent and is his health really effected. As for the loss my theory is that they where either exhausted from the fight against the bugs or the enemy team was simply stranger than them. Well next week seems to be about a tournament so we should see better results. Tho their enemy seems to be a B team. |
| I can live with low budget shows if we get more seasons. But if they're not gonna animate the action scenes then atleast do it in good cgi, it cheap too just like they want. The beetles were cool, I wonder how it's like at the surface of the planet XD "That's the sky"  |
 |
| The darkness is strong on this one (?) |
Maciek970213 said: I still wonder how did Kanata and Misora casually talk when there was like few kilometers distance between them. Lol I was thinking the same. Anyway, interesting powers from Kanata, however it seems like there is also a time limit and he will be out of power. |

Maciek970213 said: I still wonder how did Kanata and Misora casually talk when there was like few kilometers distance between them. Yeah. I thought Kanata had some super teleport powers and got behind Misora to talk but fuck he's up in the sky lol. Stalker guy got possessed by that Eye? I want more Yuri x Kanata scene. |
 |
| Alright. Kanata's OP. Fight could've been better, but alright. And of course, the girls lost their battle at the end. |
  |
| A bit disappointed that they didn't show the actual ranking match (I'm interested to see how they lost, or the skill of the other teams - none of that has really been shown yet), but next episode seems to be a tournament, so that should make up for it. |
| I personally watch this show because of story, animation wise its terrible, specialty on fights. Maybe the source material its not much know, so the studio have low expectations even before made the anime? |
| Damn even after all that so call training and fighting those dum beetles they still suck and lost the match. LOL! XD Anyway even though they lost Lecty is still best girl to me. And Yuri is still cute as always. |

| I don't even know why I am watching this anymore. |
| Well, they lost the match but hey, its a start. I'm sure they'll improve more. |
| Very solid episode I really like the direction the anime is going :) |
| This show does SoL decently, but once battles and fighting comes into play, the lack of tension from the SoL portion just creeps in and encompasses the show. If the invasion of the beetles was suppose to be tense and exciting... well, I'm not feeling it in the slightest. The way the beetles waited for them to finish all their dialogues before attacking, you'd get the impression that they were extras in a set that don't actually move until you told them to. That and the complete lack of a semblance of fighting back when they are attacked, just gave those battles an unnerving sense of unrealism. Even bugs would try to dodge from being swatted by us, yet those beetles just went "come here and stomp on me" mindlessly. Same with the mock battle at the end, it was all talk. No tension at all. You don't see them fight, and you don't even see them look the slightest bit ragged after losing the match either (for both teams). It felt like they had a singing contest instead of an actual battle. Not sure if that's how they wanted to portray this, but it was a bit disappointing. Kinda reminds me of World Break (the lack of tension at least). I guess we sort of got some development, what with revealing how Kanata should be OP if not for the incident prior to the show rendering his OP mode into a limited-time state. That and the Yuri-crazed fanboy getting hypnotized by the Beetle core at the end. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Hooray! Now we get a tournament arc! No, that's not it. God dammit, another freaking tournament arc. There. That was much better. |
| It's not that this series is great. Its source material is clearly not on the level of, say, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei. Even then, this series clearly is underperforming. This episode could've been a turning point for an otherwise average series, but it fell pretty flat and in doing so illustrates a lot of the problems. First, too much garbage dialogue. I get that the source material may have had all that dialogue built in, but in anime, where we're shown a bunch of armored insects infiltrating the city, it's just not realistic for them to be wasting time doing/saying non-consequential stuff. This is pretty much a life or death situation for the city. And it didn't feel like that at all. Second, the soundtrack isn't doing any work. Great series feature background music that more or less amplify the audience's emotional response. The music for much of this episode was just...bland. Third, there are just too many absurdities that can't be explained away. We see a bunch of armored insects coming into the city--they can't possibly have been all destroyed by three people, but that's what it's made to look like. Nor was it really possible that literally no one else is there to help out. Imagine yourself as the general of a castle and a bunch of enemies just swarmed in: wouldn't you rush your best troops back instead of being like "oh well they're tied up let's let the newbies take care of the situation"? But that's precisely what happened. No one knew Age was there, but somehow the invasion was just allowed to proceed. What gives? Lastly, of course the guy obsessed with Yuri is going to end up as an antagonist at some point. This is anime cliche at its finest. Again, the production company likely isn't handed the best source material. The directing of this series truly brings it down to mediocrity though. |

As of this episode airing and his teams pathetic loss I'm barely hanging in on this series. |

| I know the animation is going to be bad. But the fighting animation is just awful. The yellow circular blast just appear after the monster was killed instead of exploding. I was face palming all the time. And the music don't feel exciting at all. This is seriously terrible. And they lost the ranked matches without even showing how they have lost. |
| This was a horrible episode! By far the worst! In that given situation, I didn't feel or see any sense of urgency coming from them. Those beetles were coming in, yet they were still taking their sweet time discussing. Seriously? And the action scene was poorly done. Ugh, I thought Misora was the worst girl, but man, Yuri is almost to her level or probably even on par with her. She loves the MC, but she calls him a traitor and wont give him the benefit of the doubt to clear up the misunderstanding? B*tch much! I prefer Chloe by a mile than any of the girls.. Next would prolly be Lecty. |

| Wow another great Episode, we finally saw Kanata "the beast" , NOT traitor in action, good to see the girls improving, we also see Yuri has feelings for Kanata, but i really think Chloe is the best partner for him, ..of course the girls will lose their first fight in the tourney, they need to have better coordination and chemistry if they want to stay in the tourney,, ..hmmm so my hunch is right that megane guy will become an enemy, lol Overall Ep 8/10;) |
