I think episode 13 is gonna be a cool down episode and wrap stuff up (and probably also leave some sequel hooks as this is 100% getting a sequel)

Gotta see what this whole LilyBell thing is about, after all.

Episode 13 will just be Chisato and Takina going on a nice quiet date to the aquarium and having a lovely time.

Certainly hoping that the DA trying to deal with the problem by sending in another child soldier death squad to massacre the child soldier death squad that publicly screwed up is going to cause a few folks to re-evaluate the organisation they're working for.

I kind of doubt it. They probably already knew that that was standard, given that everyone was talking about it, and talking about how LilyBells kept trying to kill Chisato in the past.

Lilybell being a thing was something Takana didn't know, so it's either something only First knows, or something that no one is supposed to know but the more experienced Lycoris are aware of.

Yeah, like, are we supposed to be happy and relieved that she pulled through? Although it explains how they could stay hidden for so long if the populace actually buys that hasty excuse for a cover up.

Well the alternative was them all being gunned down by the other child soldiers within the next few seconds so she did the best she could. Maybe next episode they all retire to waitress at cafes!

Seriously though I don't think this show was interested in the morality of secret government teen kill squads so I don't expect it to be addressed.

It was an effective short-term fix that got them to call off the death-squads. It remains to be seen whether someone's going to use that opportunity to find a longer-term solution.

I should note that Walnut did not actually give them control of their info control AI back after covering up the tower attack. The Boss was wondering to herself if “he” (Walnut) was friend or foe.

Currently they don’t have that as a tool to cover up future operations.

They do have physical access to the AI though so I’d imagine they should be able to fix it. But hacking is basically magic in this show so who knows.

If hacking were magic Mizuki's plane ticket would have been first class.

I'm pretty sure that was Walnut's decision that Mizuki only deserved Economy.

I mean they kind of sorta were, that was like 80% of the setup with literally the joker. But it seems like they basically wasted something interesting they could have done with literally the joker.

Maybe. I guess they could still pull something out in the last episode.

theres no way this doesnt get a s2 tbh, would not be surprised if there were rewrites to accommodate that

odds are takina and chisato arent going to show up to DA's doorstep going 'hello we are here to be government kill agents' in the last episode so i dont really read the show as thinking its the best thing ever. the show also made no real attempt to actively refute majimas arguments. i dont think its at all a smash the system type show but DA has been consistently shown as shady, trigger happy, and easily fooled.

The only way I'd see it getting an S2 is if it's to promote the continuation of the spin-off LN or if there's another LN or mobagame for promotion.

Kojima's weird, so I wouldn't be particularly surprised if he actually did fund season 2.

Also seems like in this multi-media poo poo case the Anime's actually the primary thing rather than an ad.

I mean it's not just Kojima it's legit popular in Japan. It's getting a lot of fanart and Chisato/Takina is all over the Yuri tag on Pixiv. It's going to get a second season the question is how quick the turn around is

I dunno, I really feel like they are wrapping up Chisato's life here. I could see the final episode being a bitter farewell to her as her heart runs out of juice.

SatoshiMiwa
May 6, 2007


Even if we don't get a second season the fact they've leaned so heavily on the heart and clearly set up a way to get past has me pretty sure Chisato is gonna live. If they were gonna do that ending I don't think they'd lean that hard on it not to mention the writers clearly have mentioned they toned down the more dark elements of the original

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

yeah if this was the kind of story where chisato'd bite it theyd have had more consequences/stakes in other parts of the story. frankly itd feel weird and bad if chisato did bite it - itd be fine if this was a darker story but despite all the turbomurder this really doesnt feel like that kind of thing.

the episode that ends with their date and the snow had me worried, since that kinda had farewell vibes, but everything since then has cemented that chisato is absolutely going to live
