The premiere was both fantastically stylish and fantastically stupid. I loved it.

I really loving loved the Gravity Rush poo poo in that first action sequence. I hope there's a lot of that.

It took a bit longer than it probably should've for me to catch on that the whole episode was a flashback, but yeah, I enjoyed it. Curious to see how things progress from here.

Does Princess actually care about the order of succession, I wonder, or was she just bullshitting an excuse to work with her old friend?

Yeah. Still not sure whether the show's building to anything I'll find all that memorable, but the journey itself is a lot of fun so far.

Alice - Saved by princess as a child, unending devotion to her according to the promotional materials. Didn't receive much characterization in the premiere but I expect her to shout daisuki at some point.

Also that didn't take long

Is it really betraying her country if her girlfriend will soon be head of the country? In a way it could be betraying for the country.

To be fair, it's not yet clear that Princess gives a flying poo poo about the country so much as she cares about not being separated from Ange.

Sweet, if they're skipping 6 cases that means we'll get to Chise joining the gang quicker.

I'd be pretty surprised if Chise doesn't at least get introduced in this ep.

Naturally the first week I really start looking forward to this is the first week that Amazon just straight up forgets to release on time. :smith:

Yeah, I kind of hope it's all chronological order from here. So far we've only gone backwards from episode 1 (case 13) to episode 2 (case 1) and then just gone straight forwards aside from skipping over some cases.

Definitely hope case 13 isn't chronologically the lest episode we get, because it doesn't look like anything earth-shaking has happened by then.

This may not have been Chise's introduction episode

I feel like it kind of was, though? At least I hope they don't go back and do a more formal introduction for her. We got everything we really need from her in this ep - we know basically why she's here, we got some good time to play with her character, she had some good action scenes - seems good to me.

Also this is mean as hell but I kind of want there to be a gag where Beatrice is about to confess her love to Charlotte or something and Ange gets jealous and mutes her.

where did you see that? myanimelist has it as "unknown" number of episodes and when i've checked other airing shows in the past they've pretty much always known the exact number of episodes itd run for. i cant find any other information about it being 1 cour/ cour or 13 eps or what

The Sakuga Blog guy, mostly. Feel like I've seen 1 cour floating around somewhere else too.

Hmmmm. I really really hope case 13 isn't chronologically the last episode, because it sure didn't look like any of the show's big deals were dealt with by then.

What if it continues from Case 13, and Ange + Princess use the route prepared for the guy and his sister to get past the wall?

...

poo poo this actually makes a lot of sense. Though Princess would presumably need to give up on murdering/spying her way to the top by then.

(Beatrice totally has a hidden agenda, pulling out a derringer and blasting away).

Not that there's no way Beato turns coat or something later on, but uh I don't think she's been terribly subtle or hidden about her desire to protect Princess.

It's becoming unclear whether Princess is actually gunning for the throne or just assembling a harem of cute spy girlfriends.

I really like this show but I'm finding it increasingly hard to suspend my disbelief that their enemies haven't figured out who they are yet.

I'm pretty sure the show stopped expecting us to think too hard about the actual spycraft angle around the time they actually used the "two children stacked on top of eachother inside a trenchcoat" gambit with a straight face :v:

They haven't been discovered yet because it's not yet dramatically appropriate for them to do so. There I solved it

Nope. It's been all Gilded Age Capitalists, Shoguns, Victorian Queens, Galactic Imperial Commanders, and lesbians.

Those jerks made Beato do all the heavy lifting when they serviced the machines. :argh:

Fun episode, though I'm hoping we shift into more of an overarching plotline soon, getting a bit bored of one-off eps. Delinquent!Ange was extremely good.

Chise is indeed good, and this ep was nice, but it feels like a bit of a non-sequitor for how late into the show we are. Starting to get a little concerned about whether we're going to have enough time for a good ending.

Very pleased with that ending. Recontextualized "The Fall Of The Wall" wonderfully at the end.

This show definitely wound up being the surprise of my season. Strong production values, a well-used setting, an engaging cast powered by nicely nuanced character writing, entertainingly implausible espionage antics - good poo poo. An easy A grade, IMO.
