i find it funny how they can't stop her with lots of guards, a tank, and a helicopter that shots missiles. I know she's been in other crazy ass situations like with the huge animals, but something about this I just find funny.

This episode was absurdly good honestly. Direction was fantastic, as was the script, and Ryoko was SO classy and cool, it's totally out of this world. She's slowly joining Lafiel, Kusanagi and co in my top5 of the best female characters ever.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

This episode was absurdly absurd. I mean, she eludes a fully trained private police force, all on her own, in miniskirt and high heels (for no apparent reason, it seems), then she stops for a shower and a change of clothes.
But I don't care, Oryo-sama has got style so I can forgive all of the blatant plot-holes. I lol'ed when she left the shoes with the broken heel and her credit card.

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.

An episode that started off terrible with that lame mud zombie thing, but got better in a hurry. Totally absurd, sure, but this is Ryoko we're talking about. She's the queen of being stylish and awesome. Plus it was nice they actually mentioned some of the stuff from the previous episodes instead of just going off in a completely new direction again.

I had to lol at the fact that it seemed she took more damage from having a broken heel, then being shot at by a tank and an attack helicopter.

This episode was like over 9000 or something.

Great episode. Some questions were answered. And some answers raised new questions (like a good answer should be).

I wasn't really into the first half of this show's story due it's episodic nature. But the second half of the the series more then makes up for that. And Ryoko is more then enuff to make this show interesting anyways :-)

Monami's future husband (yeah right, don't think that will happen) : "Mistress Monami, like Yakushiji Ryoko, had the ability to summon things not from this world."

Nice!

Same :D If she didn't run around in that skirt, I would have wondered... And most of it really is a show.

I like how everything got her down, and then just a call from Izumida had her back up on her feet. She really only changed for him :) I wish she would have straight out said "That's my line" at the end.

Hope we get a decent kiss at the end of next ep!

I found it funny how she had time to take a shower and put on makeup and new clothes in the middle of a hot pursuit. This show just keeps getting more ridiculous with each episode.

She's the classier character ever. I mean, you've got to love her when she escapes tanks, helicopters and such in miniskirt and high-heels and then thinks she can stop for a change of clothes x)

I totally agree with you.
Ryoko is an amazingly unique character, one of my faves without doubt.

Okay... I thought it was a great episode, don't get me wrong. The action was entertaining, but the intrigue isn't really there anymore for me. DX Personal opinion though. Everything just seemed to get a little ridiculous. She ran into some hole in the ground... They all saw her... And none of them went after her? Um, okay. I got the impression they were trying to catch and kill her...

And she had time to change clothes - and she was running around in heels and a skirt. o_O When she was kicking guys down, I actually did think, wouldn't your black suit have been better? And combat boots or something? Anyway, she is stylish. Very womanly and very classy. But it was ridiculous that NOTHING seemed to actually hit her - things just blew up around her and the force of air or whatever knocked her around. You'd think she would have gotten away with more than just a scratched/barely injured arm... She was practically unscathed though.

Meh. I guess it is what it is: Action entertainment with a stylish flair. I'll just sit back and enjoy and not worry about the trivialities, I suppose. XD

You know you're a badass when you show no fear when a tank aims @ your head.

After getting shot at by elite soldiers and evading missiles, when she said she'll stop a tank with a wink of an eye I actually believe her. Ryoko takes on an army but still has time to shower. Badass.

I mean I would've been more OK with her escaping harm from a tank and a helicopter IF she wasn't dressing to go to a ball while doing it, but this anime just refuses to let go of her sex appeal.

Also why doesn't she call in in JACE to help her? And her maids?

However, what I really liked about this episode were the two moments that showed that her rude behavior was a front to cover up how much she cared. She just can't let anyone see that soft part of her. In this episode, she's finally in a situation where she feels helpless (ironically, there's the least justification for this compared to all the other times she came out on top because she didn't have any plan this time) bu she still has to look her best in front of everyone. Cliche, yeah, (it's the typical Batman treatment) but I think it's well executed in this case.
