Lutz was pretty bad ass at the ending. Nice shots! [But too bad Jonah beat him in the training...]

Oh Koko you smart little bitch.
That girl may be crazy as fuck but she's intelligent and cunning enough to compensate for it. I'll keep it short and simply say that I enjoyed this episode being about politics essentially. We also got some nice action bits which rounded up the episode pretty nicely. 5/5

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

Yes the sudden dual shift of countries might make it hard to recognize it. I am not sure of them but it makes sense in terms of distance and travel time.
Yah indeed, Thats what I think too.

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.

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?

As expected the best episodes are the ones without retarded gunfights.

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...

Man, Jonah is really a street smart brat.


Trivia:

Last December 2011 Iran was able to get its hands on Americas most advance UAV the RQ-170, according to the CIA the said drone malfunctioned, but other sources states, that Iran was able to hack into the drone's software. It is the same UAV used for hunting down Osama Bin Laden.

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.

Well she was, she orchestrated a sort of miniature arms race for her model of the UAV through her foresight and manipulating certain circumstances.

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.

.... 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).
Its makes me wonder how can HCLI takeover that entire company. How powerful is HCLI is? 0.0"

That was the beauty of it for me, she made them look like small timers who were not believing there own hype.

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.

I actually really liked this episode. The part with the paintball stuff was entertaining and im sure lutz is going to have to face another situation with killing a kid. Also all of valmers reactions were funny this episode. It was kinda fun watching the battle of the arms race without all the killing but just the deals and koko evil eyes.

WOW ... this was a GREAT episode! LOVED the politics and scheming that Koko went through! Not much "action" per se, but I liked this plotting and stuff they did. Awesome stuff :D
Plus we got to see Lutz doing his cool sniper stuff (after he worries about being able to pul the trigger and "training" with Jonah) right as planned. The mind games that Koko and the actress went through to get people to buy from them ... man oh man. Not to mention how she got outmaneuvered at the end (and looks like there was a third party involved as well ...) even though she knew from her acting career that Koko was just "acting" with her pretending to give up :O
All in all, really amazing and enjoyable episode. Would love to see another one like it but seems like next episode is another multi-parter. Should be fun! :3

dear Lord this.
------
it was an ok episode but it got horribly boring near the end with all that talking...i understand it's an extremely dialogue driven show and the fact that i had no idea what they were talking about made it even more boring. i didn't expect to see jonah have fun and laugh though. that was nice to see.

and i'm not alone. look at the last part of the episode and you'll see the snipars tapping their fingers, itching for action. that's just how i felt. shut the heck up already.

and it looks like i'm the only one who doesn't like koko. i desperately want scarecrow to throw her behind bars. her whole crew as well but more on her. i'm sick of them always winning with no explanation. they haven't had a real challenge since the first episode. i think i want them caught simply because they're so boring.

nice explanation on why the ex-cop couldn't bring himself to kill the girl, though. i was still mildly thinking about it.

Lutz backstory. Lol Jonah so happy painball time.
Something about competing dealers on predator/euro-uav. Battle of wits intriguing but gets lost with severe rushing.
Koko talk fun as usual, heart rots as a dealer eh.
Schocolade eating duck crackers lol. Airhead being used by Koko. Hinted she's German.
"waif"? subs wut?

Glad I wasn't the only one who found this episode hard to follow; too many names remember in the span of 20 minutes. Definitely the weakest episode so far which is a shame since the rest of this anime has been excellent.

Boring and needlessly convoluted episode. 4.5/10

This is only getting more and more retarded. Plus, Koko is an annoying Mary Sue. We get it, she's smart and beautiful, no need to remind us every episode. I'm so irritated with her mannerisms that I actually want her to lose, but of course it will never happen because that would actually introduce some tension to this borefest.
