This episode was really good. It Shows the kick-ass gunslinging skills of Kirika and how quick she is able to take down the enemies. Her using the glass and popcorn to find out where the enemies were was very smart, and take them down with deadly accuracy was awesome.

Although, it's not as violent as i though this series was gonna be so far. U don't see any bullet holes in the enemies or blood at all, at least from what i could see.

The lack of blood is strange to say the least, given the shows subject matter. Pretty good episode, though.

The first half of the episode felt a bit slow due to the introduction of the target. However the second half didn't disappoint. Wish the plot would progress though. Just a bit too slow for me, but it does help get the emotions across.

It's indeed slow, but I love atmosphere. Kirika is very smart, using popcorn and glass to find out where her enemies are...

This episode was a little bit better then the last. I like how kiriki is just so damn skilled as a gunslinger. Meriel is no where near as skilled as kiriki, i think thats pretty evident.

I also liked how she used the popcorn and certain sounds to know where her targets are.

So I'm guessing that other woman pro assassin died? Since there was no lillies in the grave, like always.

And also apparently the people who erased the girl's memories have kept their eyes on them the whole time...

That popcorn trick was genius! Kirika is showing Mireille who's really leading this operation.

But anyways, huge step up from the last two episodes in my opinion. Really enjoyed this one, though I do agree its kind of weird without blood.

Explain to me why she was going to kill with a knife when she could have killed her with a gun.

Ok those girls are like a two-girl army.

HAHAHAHAHA

Ok sorry

This reminds me of ARIA the Animation for some reason, don't ask why. I think it's the art style and the country they are in. (France, Venice...) And I really like it does.

The song at the end is really nice. The sound was mixed with the the rain and it matches with the mood too.

What a pair!! Kirika really knows how to use the environment to her advantage.

Living the life of an Assassins is already a sin to bear. No Grave for you, when you die, you die alone.

Can't wait for the next episode!! Hope we get to see a glimpse on who hired those that wanted to kill Noir and what Noir really is :P

Oh man, this one officially won me over. Great fight in the casino, Kirika is a beast with those shot glass and popcorn traps. Also liking how what seemed like a target-of-the-week formula got flipped into a double edged game of cat and mouse.

No time was wasted getting into the action this time. I enjoyed this episode because of that.

Kirika using popcorn and glass to know where their enemies were was really nice and smart

I don't think her loss of memory has been a big deal so far though

Looks like Kirika is the strongest force of the duo so far, especially with how well she used the environment to her advantage. I can always appreciate a bit of suspense but the scene of the female assassin descending on to Mireille felt way too drawn out. The ending scene was also very nice and gives us a little insight as to how Mireille feels about her job.
