Akari is my favorite type of imouto. The way she calmy says sarcastic remarks makes her so funny.

Show's been consistent. You can see the story progression and not be all "well that escalated quickly" *yes I'm looking at you Black Bullet*. I have even more appreciation for this now because the "good guys" don't just mindlessly follow their superiors thinking every order is right and just. Hooray for thinking characters!

Chaika cute. Eyebrows not bother me. Chaika. Yes Chaika. Chaika. Needs more Akari deadpan humor.

So far this series has not impressed me, but it hasn't been completely horrible either. I can't even remember what my opinion of the last episode was, so I take it as breaking even in terms of good to suck. This episode I found to be rather interesting, and provided me with questions I would really like answers to, which I take as signs of a good start for this series.

I'm still sort of annoyed at the way Chaika talks, but I'm starting to get used to it that it doesn't bother as much. I guess I can put up with it.

Akari is a bit odd and awkward, but her deadpan delivery can be funny. Though, I found it to be hit or miss. I find no middle ground, her lines are either really funny or horribly unfunny.

I'm taking a liking to Gillette's group, with the exception being Vivi who's hero worship and arrogance make her extremely annoying.
Perfect example:
Zita- "Still, if he was able to beat Nikolai, he must be very skilled."
Vivi- "He's a coward. He's just a saboteur, you know."
After denying that reality that was literally right before her eyes, she goes on to say in the town that she'd capture them for Gillette no matter what she had to do. Such irrationality, while being a legitimate character trait, is very stupid and annoying. But, considering how often you see this particular stereotype in anime, I assume that it's meant for us to dislike her- at least until more character development of Gillette's group is done, and we get to see more about her. Maybe then she'll be likable.

I'm guessing Dominica isn't going to be such a full-on bad guy like the Duke with the hand was, maybe even a neutral type. I am, however, looking forward to seeing the siblings fight with her next episode.

All in all, I'll give this one a 7/10
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Looks like I'll be getting my adventure fix with this show and you know what's the best part? It's doesn't take place in a MMO which seems to be a trend lately,one that I was never really a fan of,even thought I played my fair share of MMOs. Maybe it's because I've lost interest in MMOs recently or that certain shows in a MMO world have left a very bad taste in my mouth but this is just much more exciting for me.

So I'm guessing chaika is something made by guy and when one gets captured he makes them kill their self. Maybe Guy is Gaz's son or right hand man. Hmmm... I'm intrigued. I guess I'll keep watching.

She loves Gilette, of course she is irrational.

As for her opinions of Saboteur, I can understand it. It's the typical "noble" response to "unknightly" behavior. Think French Knights before Agincourt of English Longbowmen. So personally, I found that a bit refreshing, it is more in line with how people thought in the past (though perhaps inadvertent).

I love the strange creatures in this show.

A lot of confusing information about Chaika was revealed. So they've caught multiple Chaikas in the past...makes me wonder if the current Chaika is genuine or another copy.

The plot is good and I'm excited to know what's going to happen next.

One of my favorites this season. Chugging along quite nicely after 3 episodes.

Though I wish the translation was a bit more accurate. Chaika's personality loses so much meaning when her script is translated to English.

Man, Bones is doing really well with this adaption. They usually turn the sources they touch into something decent. The same thing happened with Noragami.

This show is reminding me a lot of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I mean, with the brother and sister following "the one" on a journey while beeing chased by a gang. A lot of the designs in terms of machines and stuff seems similar as well.

Chaika's memory lapsus was that much predictable that I thought they wouldn't use it.
Also, a little of romance spotted.

From what is foreshadowed, that is probably Dominica! Things are getting lively! Can't wait for more Chaika!

Also, the question has been raised by the cat-boy! There is still a lot of mysteries surrounding Chaika.

Anyone who is even vaguely interested in this should read the manga. The dialogue is much better and so far has a couple more scenes. I hope they add them to the anime but it looks like they are taking more out every episode.

By better I of course mean comedic tone/moments and incest dialogue.

Akari is a best example of an imouto. She scared Chaika ahahahaha.

As far that the Guy looks suspicious, Chaika's background looks suspicious too now.

First half wasn't as good as the 2nd.

Seeing Chaika so happy on experimenting with that vehicle was the best part about this episode.

Akari is proving to be a good character in this episode.
"That exploded quite nicely." xD Plus all those stories. Shame she has no fans yet.

Pretty fearsome battle near the end, reminded me of pokemon with all the thunderbolts. Maybe he should just tame the wolfs.

I like where this is going, for the story and the characters. Can't wait for the next episode.

Chaika was pretty funny in here, I was laughing when she shot the chicken and exploded. The memory part of her is going to be interesting.

Oh damn a new character introduce. Wonder who she is...

chaika really is funny. her reactions to the stories was nice, too :D

as for the woman at the end. I think it's pretty clear that's the person they are looking for. I'm wondering more about the guy who gave chaika the hint for the hand and now for the next hero to look after.

I'm really liking this so far, the plot itself has yet to reveal itself but the characters are great. Also the creature designs in this are pretty cool.
For some reason I really like Akari O.o...wait this has a romance tag, is this by any chance incest? XDD

Something tell me that by the end of the serie, Gilette group will join Chaika side...

That big coffin is noticable... No shit! xD
That informator seem not trustable at all. Someone that can't reveal their name is never trustable, even more if he isn't encountering you in person.

Chaika is the worst employer someone could ever have : ''You have to do something... that will help me... about something I don't really know...'' :P
