| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Unlike last episode this one was more of relaxing things to come episode. Where the characters after having passed through all this ordeal shit last episode can finally relax. That being said It was nice to see the team practicing in the spoiler About the paintball game, oh man Lutz in the spoiler About the fan service, what better way to show the females relaxing after last episode? Why of course to fan service them. Whom I was surprised but fan service has always been a reliever in anime. Hence in the spoiler I did like Koko’s face in the following,  Those never fail. Along with Sofia’s in the spoiler It was very nice to introduce the PREDATOR system in the spoiler Koko really lost here and obviously Sofia got too expressive here during the conference. However it was only trouble brewing around. The new girl in the spoiler About the park walk, it had 2 purposes. For one it proved some nice setup for a Jonahs x Koko in the spoiler  Truly if Sofia was there it would amount to jealousy but she was not there. So it resulted in rather nice MOE blushes. However she better not talk of this cause she will have to deal with Koko being MAD let’s just say with those eyes and expression she is having. About meeting 1, it was pleasant in the spoiler About the sunset, IMO it was done rather nicely in the spoiler About the airport, IMO it was done well in the spoiler About Junk Food eating, well kind of obvious in the spoiler About the ride, the ride gave out some interesting background info of various proportions however in the spoiler About Chocolade, oh man! HOT! In the spoiler About Hotel going in, it was fine in the spoiler Meeting of the new girl, well that new girl in question was mighty nicely shown again in the spoiler About Koko’s meeting with new girl, quite nicely setup and executed along with its shit happening in it. Let’s take it in 3 points. A)The initial meeting and setup beforehand in the spoiler B) SNIPER POSITIONS! In the spoiler C) Finally the character and facials in the spoiler That is until shit hits in the spoiler About thee end of the episode, well it was pleasant in the spoiler About the preview, FAN SERVICE and beach time in the spoiler In general nice relief/foreshadowing episode. Jorgumand once again delivers and I am happy with it in this episode. Might edit later. BTW a MOE GIF of Koko in the spoiler End pic in the spoiler Very random Image Stitch in the spoiler |

| lol at Lutz getting caught up in the traps and getting plastered with paintballs. Koko and Sofia looked mighty nice when they were running around in just their underwear. |
 |
| Koko never ceases to amaze me, dem poker face So, who here likes to play paintball? Well, that's what this episode starts off as. Honestly, I'm keen on trying it out as I've seen some of the matches live a few years ago and it was pretty epic.  Nothing much else to say on this episode as it's a bit of a relaxing one rather than filled with the weekly action packed ass kicking by ours truly, Koko. Koko is so fucking loco :> |

 |
| And I thought I was the only one that couldn't quite understand what was goin on. |
[right] |
| I think this is the part which makes me having difficult understanding even when I am reading the manga...All I understand is the Greece is a bad planner and unfaithful lol Well, the atmosphere is enough to enjoy the Anime. Chocolate is sweet =P |
| Hey! This American chick disrespects British food! Any objections from British guys in MAL? Koko the Thinker |
| |
| A very rushed episode this time from Jormungand i guess it was not much importance. But im sure it was covered in more detail in manga, but i dont know for sure. Most of us will be left confused a very underwhelmed by the little battle, but back to the basic's with the next episode it seems. |
| Game of cat and mouse this time Hmm..... Lutz was sick on them shots but still got owned by jonah haha. Love the sound track for this ep 5/5 |
| It's all about negotiation battle. Less action, but good humor there. |
 |
| truly excellent viewing this episode! business as battlefield=nice change of pace...this has really grown to be a show i look forward to every week...wasn't too sure at first as the first couple were only so-so, but this has grown into a great character driven action show with just the right amount of humor/psychosis thrown in.......... |
 |
| Nice episode, honestly thought that the snipers were the Dealer ladies, but instead it happens to be some random lady spying on them from some company. |
 |
Jonah owned Lutz lol. A pretty good episode. Looking forward to next one. |
|
| Summary : Capitalism, ho! Also, don't mess with Koko. Seriously. Just don't. You'll have to say goodbye to most of your assets. Chocolade seems more retarded in the anime. Next is the Doctors arc! Oh god. If this takes more than 2 episodes I'm going to cry. Valmet's arc is after this one :( It better be part of S1. |
| Capitalism, ho! Best part. While i agree it was rather fast paced and hard to follow at times, it was a great episode. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| A bit weird to see the final confrontation between the actress when you know Koko won't die whatever a happens. It wasn't even Sniper vs Snipers, but Snipers on Koko and her team on their Snipers. |
| Nice episode, I liked how their sniper did a banana-split when it was shot, that was awesome. It was a strange kind of war, but nonetheless very interesting. I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Lutz was awesome at the end of the episode. |
 |
Lutz was pretty bad ass at the ending. Nice shots! [But too bad Jonah beat him in the training...] |
| Koko outsmarting everyone was awesome, and Lutz was bad ass at the end, making up for getting owned by Jonah, guess close range just ain't his thing, he is more of a sniper; also like Chocolate's character, she may be a airhead but its a nice change to the rest of the cast |

| Boring as hell tbh |
 |
| Another crazy woman appeared in this anime, this time in the face of an old woman -.-" And she actually thought she could outsmart Koko. Lutz is now my favorite male character in the show~ <3 The female is ofk Koko the LOCO. |
  |
| Loved the killer robot shout-out to Asimov. Yes, it is indeed time to get your foot in the door before the berserker robot market is saturated... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
Stark700 said: That was by far one of the most adorable Jonah moments ever. <3 I liked this episode, though it wasn't as epic as the other ones. |
| Koko showed her who the boss is. Loved the facial expressions in this episode, especially Koko's. I also had a hard time understanding what's going on, I spent like 30 minutes or so for this episode. I did not once thought of Greece and Turkey, I actually didn't bother thinking about Country A and B but it could be different countries other than those two, right? |
| Nice episode. As expected the best episodes are the ones without retarded gunfights. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

 |
| Koko is the best anime character this season period. |
| this anime reminds of so much of call of duty xD (uav, predator, hind, etc.) anyone noticed that the newspaper valmet was eadong said "Bolt beaten in Stockholm"? xD |
| The first part with Lutz and Jonah was pretty fun and I was sure that we would see more action from Lutz next. This country A and B thing and the deal was a bit confusing but it was a brilliant episode. I loved the use of background music in the last scene. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |
| Latter half of the episode was confusing as fuck. I need that OST. |
| I actually don't mind the erratic pacing of the show. But honestly, 2 gun shots the entire episode? (Paint doesn't count) |
 |
| I thought this arc will finish in two eps. But yes, this story was done in one episode. Koko is just very impressive. What madness. Insane intelligence. I am loving her even more. |

| TBH... I don't understand why so many people say Koko out smart Amaria in this episode.... I think Koko is a bit cruel in this episode(She is always cruel when Jonah isn't around..), but she later show some sympathy to Amaria at the end. yeah, the op song is available to download now ^.^ |

| Good episode it kind of reminded me of Horizon. Interesting political conversations under a light tone but hardly knowing what the fuck was going on till i re-watched the episode.

At the end of the day it was all business, Amaria was also playing dirty by leaking information to the Italian press that her Predators were American imports and sweet talking the representatives into exclusively making deals with her. It was poetic justice when they all came running back with their tails between their legs even Amaria at the end. She went toe to toe with ms loco and almost got completely ko'd. |

ImagineThat said: .... she simply sell her product to other country(where Amaria haven't touch yet) while buying all the stock of EAE company(Euro Arial Engine).Well she was, she orchestrated a sort of miniature arms race for her model of the UAV through her foresight and manipulating certain circumstances. Its makes me wonder how can HCLI takeover that entire company. How powerful is HCLI is? 0.0" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeover |
MorningGlory said: .... she simply sell her product to other country(where Amaria haven't touch yet) while buying all the stock of EAE company(Euro Arial Engine). That was the beauty of it for me, she made them look like small timers who were not believing there own hype. Its makes me wonder how can HCLI takeover that entire company. How powerful is HCLI is? 0.0" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeover Well arms dealers profit big time from war and of course a whole lot of money is pumped into it. When you see some of the estimative figures that has so far been spent on the war on terrorism by certain countries, its both staggering and mind boggling. I think i know what you mean though, the HCLI really don't look or act the part that you would tend to associate with a multi billion dollar rated company. Especially when you consider how small her team is. To be honest that's probably why i'm enjoying this anime so much. I'm not ashamed to say that i prefer it when the characters have personality and are not so cut and dry. |
|
| Sweet, the full OP is now available. I'm happy now. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| I enjoyed this episode.... illustrated the intelligent/mind tactics of an arms dealer... not the all out brawls we've seen (although I enjoy those too). As usual... Valmet was awesome. |
  |
| This episode was a little hard to follow, but I liked the character interactions. |
| I only liked the pre-opening part... the rest was just blablabla... :/ |
