An episode that focuses on Nina huh? I mean, she's kinda of an underdog compared to the other cast but she's trying.

Compared to the others, she's still a bit timid. Doesn't seem like someone hard to get along with though, just feels like she's the lonewolf type.

Finally Nina in combat and it seems she isn't that good with melee weapons but with guns on the other hand she is great.
it also looks like she has good coordination asking the others to be her spotter like that.
Yuuka getting sick was funny and despite her being sick she still shows up even tho she collapsed as a result.
Guess they will keep a watch on her while she is sick.

Good subtitles in Circlet Princess? What alternate universe did I wake up into? :D

Either way, yay Nina gets some screentime!

is Ayumu really just mission control?

Best episode of this show, revolving around the hands down best girl of the show... Reminded me a little bit of Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online, too. Which is a good thing.

Finally Nina given her screen time, unfortunately in the first bout she merely a replacement for Reina , so, she more of a shooter than a melee fighter, but it kinda pisses me off where she is more of a reliever, than a regular participant .

Man, Yuuka stalking Nina, is sooooo stupid her Cicrclet bracelet was more smarter and sensible that her... and so Ayumu is a gamer too like Nina and they're team mates as well .

WTF Miyuki was beaten by someone from Musashio using pompoms as her weapon????



I still hate that among her fellow team mates, she the only one who isn't hot in a leotard .

The seemingly unwanted member of the team Nina finally gets a spotlight. She's good at online play but seemingly bad when applying to the Circlet Bout form.

Oh lord Yuuka, stalking her is a bad bad move. Even the bracelet tells you so...

Most importantly, uncovering Nina's confidence with Ayumu being a strategist again, both in game and IRL for Circlet Bout. That's always good.

Nina is best girl. Really glad we got more focus on her, she's really the only good part about this anime.
Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's.
Noragami is the best anime ever.

I thought this was a pretty good episode.

Nice to see Nina get a lot of screen time and action.

Nice to see her shine as well winning a crucial battle with the help of the other girls.

Ayumu played quite a big role here with her.

Watched again with better subs.

It makes sense to give Nina a good weapon even if she's just used as a spare fighter. Having a weapon of her choice improved her morale, also she knows that everyone in the team supports her.

I'll admit, their not asking Nina just _why_ she wanted a rifle ticked me off royally.
Their arguments sounded like they assumed she'd do a "spray and pray" rather than being a skilled sniper.
Ayumu turning out to be a team member of her's in the combat sim, and knowing who she was in RL, explained that a little...
Except, I don't understand why they didn't at least acknowledge that her desiring the rifle was valid in her case.

OK, without asking her to acknowledge that they knew she was good with one would require revealing they knew who she was online, and that's contrary to standard netiquette.
But still.

As to the color stuff.
That's real.
It does work that way.
I've experienced that in RL.
I once was under a blue plastic tarp for an extended period of time, and when I went back outside, everything was red-shifted.
It was very surreal.
That was back ~1985.

There's also the old Milton-Bradley "Password" game based on the TV game show, where the answers on the card were in blue with red overlying them, such that they couldn't be read, but when a red transparency was placed over them, the blue lettering became visible.
I played that back in the 1960s, as a child.

Ayumu acting as her spotter?
That's how it's standardly done in RL military.
The spotter directs the sniper to the next target, then the sniper zeroes in on them once they see them.
That way the sniper isn't having to scan around seeking their target, or worrying about prioritizing targets; that's someone else's job.
The sniper's job is to make the shot once presented with a target.
Unfortunately, outside of those involved, spotters don't get much recognition.
At least, that's my understanding; in this case I don't have personal experience, so I may be in error.

First episode in the series that I've really liked.

Nina is now my favorite character.

Finally, an episode that focuses on Nina. Nice character development for her.

Yuuka stalking Nina was so fun.

By the way. I really like that house. I wish I could live there.
