----------------------------------------
Tilarna displays more and more human behavior with each episode. Episode is alright with a mix of lighthearted comedy but also more darker elements of the city.

I hope pacing picks up a bit more although I'm still pretty interested in this show.

Not a bad episode. Feel bad for Tilarna because her friend, Zoey, was killed by an assassin.

I was a bit surprised to see Zoey get killed off in only one episode, I thought she would have stuck around for a bit longer.

Nonetheless a good episode

Notice that most of characters from opening don't live long (excluding good guys), so I kinda expected this. Still feel kinda bad for Tilarna.

So it seems like the show is going for an episodic route now with a few arcs here and there, really the characters are the ones carrying the show the plot is all over the place. Honestly if it was just 12 eps of the duo ep.6 style I wouldn't really complain lol

Also damn this show really does put a lot of effort into its cars lmao

And Matoba's new car has "TENP" gauge.
Also - i think that there was a lot of animation mistakes. Like, Matoba shot the killer once, who made second shot? His gun wasn't firing.
P.S. In my opinion, Cop Craft and Fire Force have the best endings in this season.

I was surprised Tilarna actually went along with an undercover plan like this. She was already pretty pissed just by having her hair touched. If she killed the dude on the spot that would have landed her and Kei in a pretty bad situation.

Looks like we better not get attached to side characters lol.

The new car is cool, just how long will it last?

I really liked this episode because it kind of had everything in it. I wouldn't be surprised though if Zerada was linked with all of this again.

The episodic style this show and El-Melloi II Case files use is really refreshing this season.

It was another great episode. I find it refreshing that its an actual good cop drama and not another dumb Isekai or loud and obnoxious Shounen(Looking at you Dr Stone). And to top it all off has good main characters with no brooding teenage edgelords. By far my favorite shiw this season

A serious episode ! The main case has actually a realistic vibe : politician having some hidden affairs who eventually gets caught up and then uses everything he can to appear innocent. However it went so far someone was shot... Tilarna must be devastated, you can easily guess it. Actually, that's another character from the opening who found death eh

Quite sad for Tilarna, seeing Zoey being shot right next to her must be hard, especially since she considered Zoey as her friend (probably her first friend?)

Could only laugh when I saw "Leave your socks on", the guy knows his stuff!!

Also really loving Tilarna's growth so far, getting knowledge and experience in the human world.

What I learned this episode is the fact that even for a case were still shots make sense (like an episode with some focus on photos) there is still talent necessary to make it look like an artistic choice.
You can still see the team cutting corners wherever possible (sound/animation not fitting together, still shots in moments that don't make sense etc), but now I'm pretty sure that they at least managed the quality so far that it doesn't come to a repeat of episode 3.
Still very curious how the BD will look, because it still feels like there is a lot of placeholder art in the show.

Bitch bastard of Mozeelemay's wife is a manipulator who at all costs wanted to maintain her position in politics and keep her husband's puppet in that position.
Is a pity that Zoey was a victim of this political shit couple and obviously the one who suffered the most was little Tilarna, not only because the justice she seeks so much will not be achieved thanks to the corruption of the human world, but because she lost the girl who came to consider a friend.

I felt very bad to see how Tilarna took a risk in this undercover investigation, that Mozeelemay pig and his tastes for the stockings, thankfully Kei interrupted in time.

I liked Zoey's character, especially because of the friendship she formed with Tilarna, seeing how they shared time together was too cute and seeing how Kei fulfilled a father's role made me laugh a lot, but they also had their sad side, when Tilarna told Zoey that she is a police officer and then Zoey is killed by a hitman.
That final image with Tilarna packing up Zoey's belongings had me crying especially when she opens the gift that Zoey prepared for her, certainly is a precious photo of the little swordswoman.

In truth this episode was very hard and sad to watch, politics has always been a critical point worldwide, full of lies, corruption and if it is necessary to silence the people who hinder the powerful, this episode portrays very well part of that and without a doubt I was not prepared for the outcome, I hope that Tilarna does not get to hate the methods of humans to impart justice.

Man, such a shame Zoey died. I was really liking her character and the bond she was having with Tilarna.

Quite entertaining episode overall. Really liking the new case so far and although its premise is quite simple, the way it's being executed is quite enjoyable to follow.

Looking forward to the second part!

That's a booker. Always funny.

So once again...the American life of politics, full of scandals and abuse of power.

Zoey is such a good character, and Tilarna spending time with her even at such circumstances. Good bond for Semanians of their own nature. It's just a shame for all that effort to be on Earth, her life ended in one shot.

Episodic case felt very linear due to the nature of the case, thankfully it wasn't a big apple to bite. To be continued!

Since last episode revealed that this one would be titled "Girls on Ice," we all thought that this was going to be a more lighthearted episode (like the previous one) involving Tilarna ice skating, right? Don't tell me that I was the only one.

Cops shows are episodic by the nature of the genre so this Cop Craft is no different. This was a realistic storyline this week and o like the way it goes from supernatural to real life.

I was sure Zoey was setting up Tilarna so kudos for fooling me. I'm interested to see where this goes next week.

Tilarna is so cute. And it's always fun to see her samurai style on earth. "That's.... Once she sees my passion for justice I'm sure she'll understand."

The episode shows that Kei was right. They live in different worlds. Zoey keeps taking the criminal road - excusing it with that it's hard to be honest, but she needs the money for a too-expensive apartment without working eight hours a day. And she doesn't forgive Tilarna for being a cop. Even in her dying moment does she reject Tilarna's friendship.

This has been one of the best episodes of this anime.
Poor Tilarna, she had got a new friend, but unfortunately, Zoey got involved in criminal act and was murdered. Too bad, really, it was a very sad episode ending. Matoba was right, detectives and police should not get involved with the people they investigate. Things could end in tragedy, like this time.
This anime manages to get me excited enough in each episode. I hope the damn wife pays for what she has done.

Ps: Is it me or most of the anime this Monday have had a sad episode?

Oh God! That sniper shot was damn brutal!
and the sfx was very nice! feeling like you're the one who got hit in the center of the chest!
more bad things happening to Tilarna! and it is happening again! someone who gets close to you would inevitably get hurt!
5/5.

Tilarna is doing a pretty good job on the moe appeal.

It's great how this show escalated from regular policing to vice crimes. Although it's an easy pretext for fanservice, it also gives a grounded aspect that's quite refreshing compared to Kekkai sensen where some form of apocalypse was always involved.

To bad for Zoey though. Like the first swordman antagonist, I wish characters appearing in the opening would be recurrent.
