It was fun until Akko stopped being a mouse at the end, which ruined the episode.

I found it amusing she spent 80% of the episode as a mouse.

This episode was a let down compared to the last one and it's a shame because Amanda is cool but the setting and premise was just not that good in comparison and Amanda deserves better.

I thought it was just me, there's one scene where Amanda thrusts her sword in a very Utena-like way.

Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
The scene struck me as a callback to the Utena/Juri duel in the movie

Agreed. I was hoping it'd give Amanda some characterization beyond "Talks rough, is rather rowdy". Like... why exactly did she plan on quitting? What was going on in the background of her decision here? Is it some sort of personal strife? A family thing? What??

She was bored. Luna Nova is stuffy and disciplined and Amanda is neither of those things. She explained at the start of the episode.

It's also brought up that she's been planning on quitting, off and on, for a long time, possibly her whole academic career.

Amanda finds school boring, and with Akko in study mode rather than living disaster area mode, it gets more boring.

You better not be lying to me or I will beat you up.

Also I do not like Andrew and wish they would spend time on the other chars who are better and cooler like I feel like there hasn't been much going on between Akko and Diana for most of the show which seems weird to me. I might be overblowing it a little I am sure but it is just like maaaaan. Forget the rich boy when you can have huffy feuds with the rich girl instead Akko.
