It's good to see Siesta with a gun again and back in action. What I didn't expect is seeing her im a swimsuit on the beach lol

Either way, the pair of Siesta and Kimihiko are back again on a case and it's kind of a disturbing one. Gotta give Kimihiko credit for playing the bait to catch the person involved in some sort of sting operation. It takes guts to do that.

Siesta looks so cute in that bikini.

Cerberus can change his appearance, he transforms into Charlotte but luckily Kimizuka realized that, because Charlotte didn't call Siesta by name.

Where did Siesta get that robot, lmao.

Siesta IN A SWIMSUIT? All the Siesta simps are gonna be SO HAPPY with this!

Continuing detective duties of Kimihiko's time with Siesta before her death, what a beach trip this is for their investigation. She even knows that she's popular, and coaxes Kimihiko to confess to her? Damn what a straight girl.

This Cerberus case of someone that eats hearts, and Fuubi calls it the modern-day Jack the Ripper...hmm, makes sense. Not surprised tha this will be tied to SPES, and trying to figure out the target is especially difficult for this one...and Siesta has no problem making Kimihiko her guinea pig assistant to bait their target out.

True enough, someone targeted him...even to disguise as Charlotte, there's no mistaking habits. Cerberus is as he is: a shapeshifting werewolf, and indeed Siesta came in the nick of time, and planned everything just like Episode 1's airplane hijacking case.

A new enemy: Hel, one of SPES's higher-ups, and she's unllike anything that both have ever seen yet. A quck snap of an interrogation of Kimihiko, and her instinct is evident of his passive tendency. Calling on Kimihiko to be her partner, and of course he rejects it. What SPES has in mind is even more sinister: a living biological weapon (Betelgeuse) to consume people, and I could say that this is the true Cerberus.

All it takes is Siesta piloting a mech to save him...but taking it down? That's a story for next week.

Oh hell yeah... the beach episode. And, Siesta was in a bikini. She was looking gorgeous in that. Seeing her enjoying the beach with Kimihiko made me even sad that she's not alive anymore.

Other than that, Siesta and Kimihiko duo worked on the Cerberus case which was quite scary to think about, eating human hearts. Siesta used Kimihiko as her bait to catch their target. But, I'm glad that she arrived on time there. Gotta appreciate Kimihiko for that.

Fanservice to start off, great stuff, great plot points if you know what I mean.

Jokes aside, the animation on this series falls flat, and the story is getting sorta convoluted atm. But it's starting to make more sense, and this episode was the second episode that I actually enjoyed ngl, the comedy was nice, and they actually developed the characters.

The series as a whole doesn't really feel like anything special atm, really hope it improves.

Damn I have to hand it to them Siesta in a bikini to start the episode can't get any better, I'm glad to see her back in this episode with Kimi

Kimihiko is taking on a risky assignment by Siesta well pretty much nothing changed didn't it and Char had an appearance or not, Hel seems a lot of trouble because she's a supreme leader or SPES

Hel looks like the anti-Siesta in this episode and I'm quite convinced, That artificial monster is gonna wreck chaos in the outside world but Siesta is right on time to save Kimi I thought she died back there in the room.

Siesta didnt just come in with a bikini fanservice but also brought a batbot! I was expecting some EP1 sakuga or something close to it since this had a battle scene but eh I'll take what I can, at least the animation wasnt stiff.
Anyways finally the main female character has took her role in this flashback arc! Hel looks like a short hair Nagisa with no jugs but better seiyuu.
Finally I can enjoy this show again now that the light (ace detective) has come back!
This ep alone was already better than 2-4! I want more! and judging by the prev for next ep we will get more Siesta goodness!
Also loved how desperate she was looking for Kimizuka, her last "Joshu" shout was adorable!

This was a better episode than what we've been getting because we got to see more Siesta. And I mean, we REALLY got to see more Siesta 😏🥵

But wtf was up with that mecha she pulled up in at the end lol.

Better episode than the others (apart from ep 1) for sure. Siesta looked good in the bikini and I laughed a lot when she said about her having a stronger 3 desires lol. Looking forward to the next episode. But I didn’t buy it when Siesta said she had faith that he’d definitely do exactly what he did when fighting the werewolf lol.

Siesta is back, well, not really but hey. A siesta episode is amazing. Espically when she's in a swimsuit.

And Char's outfit was pretty good amazing too. Welp, Cerberus reminded me of Kirei, his design was just perfectly the same and the same VA xD

Siesta is just amazing at how she handles the cases. And we met another character, Hel. She just looks like a dark version of Siesta in a captain outfit.

Bio weapon? Mecha Siesta? what an episode.

The resemblance between Hel and the new detective is very suspicious. The voices sound different when I tried to compare them, but still. Their eye color and hair color are the same, which makes me think they have a chance of being connected later on.

Well, the bridge between beach volleyball and boat ride to a walking biological weapon and a heavily armed robot to counter it was outlandish. And that type of weirdness was probably the reason I'm still watching the show since the beginning.

Siesta is aristocratic and calculating in all this mess, her counterpart Hel is dangerous and maybe even fanatical, so let's get ready to rumble next week.

Siest's sunhat has XII (Roman Numeral 12) on it like her hairpiece.

They're in London, as the key visuals suggested. Got the police cars and uniforms right. What's the third thing Siesta craves more than other people? (love? human interaction?)

Kimi sets himself up as bait for Cerberus and knows something is off the moment Charlotte refers to Siesta by name. I think they are using "android" rather loosely for a shapeshifting (and size-changing) werewolf.

Siesta neutralizes Cerberus's sense of smell in the hotel and she and Kimi meet Hel, the supreme leader of Spes (any significance to having red eyes and dark hair like Natsunagi?).

So Hel's eyes had Siesta worried but it's Kimihiko who falls unconscious and wakes up tied to a chair. Did Siesta escape off-screen and then found Kimi again or was she also captured and escaped afterwards?

Some religious prophecy involved, so SPES is a religious cult as well as a criminal syndicate. They appear to have their hands deep within governments as they are apparently beneath the Houses of Parliament in London. Hel tells Kimi that he isn't attracting trouble but causing it

Siesta saved Kimi, in a mecha? Though...what else are they going to fight the giant monster "Petelgeuse" with? Looks like an LFO from Eureka Seven.

If this arc sticks around, we'll be seeing more of Siesta with Kimi, which is good.

where are you getting "Alicia" from? i see an Arisaka Anderson, Charlotte, but Arisaka is middle name, she goes by charlotte, or Char, Hel TRANSFORMED into Char, she was a FAKE pay attention to the episode, but other than that detail, yes, Hel = Nagisa (she was right when she said he would join her later, didnt think shed go as far as implanting Siesta's heart into herself... but maybe she didnt have a choice? we'll see

alright this was dumb and for some reason I feel like explaining why

1. Why does Siesta need to place the MC in danger at all? Couldn't they have identified a likely target and just protected them instead?
2. When the MC found out that the guy was in fact a fake, why did he reveal it? It's so much safer for the MC if the bad guy thought that his ruse hadn't been seen through - he would gain the element of surprise.
3. This odour reducing gas would have also covered the MC's scent, which means the bad guy would have noticed that the MC didn't smell right and identified something was off (also she wasn't even in the room, so he shouldn't have smelt her anyway. I don't know why this gas was even necessary. It's just dumb BS to cover a supposed flaw that wasn't even actually a flaw).
EDIT: bonus round (#4) if the main villains had in their future-seeing book that he was gonna survive, why send a goon to go murder him in the first place?

overall this show is starting to feel like a bad anime James Bond ripoff with some very, very light detective elements.
