Guess Hifumi is just dragged into Abydos troubles now huh.

Hoshino being extra serious this episode.
Hoshino also getting Nonomi's lap pillow...

Smug happy Haruka blowing up the ramen shop is both funny and scary.
Poor Shiba having his shop blown up after talking to them thinking they're friends of Serika.

They really teased Iori and Chinatsu at the end episode even though being prominent in the episode previews as if they were gonna appear earlier huh?
A bit of a weird decision making them prominent in the previews like they did.

The drawing quality is a bit inconsistent in this episode, but we got so many more great characters face expressions, so it ok I guess.
Depressed oji-san make me depressed too…

HINA'S EYES


This episode felt good, especially when the scenes of PS68.
I'm not ready for whatever hoshino's past has in store. I know for sure I'll cry.

Next episode we will see more Prefect Team. I dont remember if we see Hina next, but itll be great if we do.

Episode was uh very average

OST - Again does not feel like Blue Archive, it feels like it almost belongs in a medieval like setting where it would probably be stellar, especially in the beginning

Hoshino was charming, and it was nice seeing her as active of a role she had in the game with Shiroko taking a backseat this episode. Hifumi once again does not talk even once one on one with Sensei which WILL make her vol 3 version (where she and Sensei are already close) extremely confusing. PS68 does PS68 things again, however Prefect especially Iori does not seem nearly as threating after hearing half of their manforce comes from Hina, who isn't present at the moment. I'm pretty sure that was in the game but I'm also pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be THAT threatening either. Shiba Seki Ramen getting blown up also felt less impactful because of the pacing being rather quick than in the game, and also Serika's blow up being limited to like 10 seconds.

Artstyle: I still really don't like it

The issue I seem to have with the anime is artstyle, OST, and pacing. It waters down the experience and the pacing speeding through vol 1 doesn't help either

Overall nothing incredibly notable about the episode, it was worse than last week for sure but it isn't the worst episode either

@theENTER The global version of the game goes with "Prefect Team", so the subtitles are correct so far as maintaining consistency is concerned(though still rough in other places).

It was a good episode. The music and the characters have been the strong points, but the pacing feels a bit rushed. They need to balance the game adaptation and how they present it in the anime better to meet expectations.
Being an NPC in Kivotos is literally the worst thing that can happen to you.

Good episode! I actually liked a few of the OST that was used in this episode.

A lot of personality was shown. Haruka blowing up the shop shocked me in the game and it still shocked me here, girl has no chill. Personally thought the SOL here was the best shown until now. Hopefully it keep it up. Now the real test is coming, how will the next episode go with the fighting?

she blew up the ramen shop, haruka is her.

some of the drawings are inconsistent in this episode, just hope that in the next episode that doesn't happen to Hina, she is my favorite character.

@StateofOhayo Problem Solver 68 is made of Gehenna students operating against the rules, so the Prefect Team is there to deal out their punishment. Their usage of heavy ordinance in a crowded area of another school's district is definitely a bit... "enthusiastic" of them, though.

I need Sensei wanting to lick Iori's boots to become canon in the anime, otherwise I don't feel I would be able to give the anime my full approval.

Also I didn't think about this until now but it sucks they didn't bother to put Seia in the OP but instead only Mika and Nagisa. At this point being a Seia fan really is pure suffering.

Animation quality took a nose dive lmao. Did they outsource this to Dr Movie or something?

Nothing noteworthy in terms of story telling. The Prefect team is here and it took them 5 episodes. I can't imagine this will cover the entire volume 1 chapter 1.

@Polycell Isn't that a spoiler? Pretty sure you'd better hide that.

Some faces were off-model this episode. Such a shame.

So Iori can move her tail like a whip, huh? Thank you very much for that info 🙏

This feels like some combination of bad writing, storyboarding or pacing, when some character has to stand around in a neutral pose asking what just happened when it happened right in front of them. It's a line that doesn't move anything along or reveal anything new.

Interesting to see Aru really starting to sweat keeping up her villain persona.

Plenty of action! But I'm still disappointed that the main chars are very rarely hit by bullets, despite we knowing that it wont actually hurt them that much, assuming they are also more durable than mobs.

So far the anime feels stiff and rigid, lacking motion much motion. The dialogue also feels odd, where there's a lot of exposition dumps and reiteration of previously established points. It would be fine for a longer series, but this is only the 5th episode of what I presume to be a 13-26 episode show. It feels like the show is dragging itself out with its dialogue scenes, while at the same time rushing points with heavy dialogue to try and establish motives for character thoughts and actions. I guess it just feels inconsistent so far? Say, during the scene where Ako arises from the restaurant's rubble, the Unwelcome School OST is playing over Ako's shellshocked and confused reaction toward the destruction. She seemed distraught over destroying the ramen restaurant she liked, harming the owner who had been chartable toward her company, and escalating the enmity between Problem Solver 68 and the Foreclosure Task Force. However, the OST implies the scene was supposed to be comedic, and it wasn't until the OST stopped playing did Ako try to laugh off the incident as a villainess plot. It just feels weird at times.

Also, so far the anime hasn't really established the importance of having Sensei present. It feels like the reason for him being in the show is to throw around Schale's name. In terms of guidance, strategy, or even being a helping hand, it doesn't seem like he's done anything that someone like Ayane could have done.
