Yura did great in the match, she is getting better at the survival game each episode, the new girls were great and so was the moves and style throughout the match.

Delayed again this time, which announced at the last min.

Yura was brought to the ship without notice with her pajama on. She overslept. Survival Game on the island against Seto team. Yura is doing well this time. Also having fun at barbacue and among others with the enemies. lol @ "Flag", so that involves with swimming suits.

25:39 next.

That scene of putting up a flag on a beach! Sonora's facial expression in the end reminded me of Hachiman.

Pleasant episode. A bit reminded me of the Swallows and Amazons if not so impressive like Lord of the Flies.

Yura missed a smack to the face this episode like she got in eps 3.

Quick victory in their first round, added with that worry about being left behind clouded her mind.
Sonora hinted it when Yura just ran over the flower bed and starts giving commands, and Sonora seems genuinely worried.

Well, next episode

Is it just because Yura wasn't paying attention to her surroundings and stepped on the flowers. Is it because she is being too reckless. Is it because she isn't playing as a team and trying to do everything herself.

God Sonora you're such a bitch sometimes. So concerned about people not playing airsoft in the 'right' way that you end up being the only one not having fun.

Also, I highly doubt that's the last we've seen of Evil Yura (from her nightmare).

My thoughts while watching was that she was being to reckless, which could be what's bothering Sonora. What you said about teamwork makes more sense, though, and I wonder if that was the reason for Sonora's falling out with Rin. Could also be the "we must win" attitude Yura adopted; it almost seems like she forgot about "fun" in this episode

Maybe Yura is worried that if she stops to think too much, she'll be scared again?

I don't know what, but something in the way she acted this episode did feel... hum, weird? Like she's forcing it too much, I don't know. And not only during the battle, the way she woke up from that nightmare and just acted like nothing happened made me kinda worried.

Hmm?? Are you joking or what? Sonora got angry not because they didn't win but because Yura surrendered because she was afraid of losing (and getting hit). Just because you know you can't win doesn't mean you shouldn't try your best.

Yeah that's how I saw it too, or more like the only way she can have fun is to win :/ but still, Yura did a great job and she's improving a lot.

I don't think Sono-chan is being bitchy, she is the club leader so I guess she's just doing her job (she's not usually like that...but I can see where ur coming from). Sono-chan should be proud of Yura-chan (she's finally getting good). I think Sono-chan is worried about Yura-chan, maybe she thinks the winning thing is getting to Yura-chan's head...causing her to not realize her surroundings. In other words, Sono-chan I think is just worried (maybe a little jealous) and Yura is getting really good (I'm proud of her), but she needs to calm down a bit and worry more about having fun than winning.

PS: All in all it was a good episode, cool to see everyone rocking their swimsuits (also I like that new team...they're a fun group) :D

After five episodes my feelings about this anime are very conflicted. On one hand it brings some fond memeories of Girls und Panzer, with girls doing fun stuff with weapons of mass destruction :) On the other, I really can't take it seriously, even though I know comedies aren't supposed to be really that serious.I find no no excitement in watching girls shoot each other with pink bullets and pretend that "It's a serious business". Maybe I don't understand something bout this airsoft battles, for me they're just boring. I guess I expected too much from this series, and hoped it would be more like GuP. The only thing that keeps me from dropping this series is Sono-chan ;)

This show just continues to disappoint me, I absolutely hated this episode. The battles continue to be uninteresting and boring. There too short to find any enjoyment, there's no tension to make me care at all, and most of the time I just see them wasting ammo on the wall. They wasted a good amount of time on that pointless bbq scene for fanservice, which I wouldn't have minded so much if I actually gave a crap about these characters. Seriously we're almost halfway through this show and the only character we know anything about is Yura, and i guess Sonora (Barely). I know Yura is the main character but come on, I know more about the side characters of GuP than any of the other main characters that isn't Yura. And same thing goes for the opponents, they could easily replaced them with mannequins and it would have effected jack shit.

Yura went full retard.
You should never go full retard, especially on an airsoft match like this.

It's really obvious that Yura did a lot of bad things.
> Lack of map awareness: stepping on those flowers gives away a rather noticeable trail, even for non-airsofters
> Lack of use of sign language when handing out messages to allies: Yura went HEY YACHIYO, YOUR BARREL'S STICKING OUT LIKE FAIR GAME! instead of trying to communicate the right way. Maybe Yura was actually the reason why Yachiyo almost got peppered by the Seto team.
> Disregarding team roles: She shouts at everyone like she's Honoka, and even Honoka prefers to pass on realtime tactics using sign language. Although she did carry the team, that would be quite rude to the actual tactician of the team.

Ironically, the dream made her even closer to the monster that she encountered in that same dream. Sonora should do something before her balance of fun and focus becomes even more detrimental to their gameplay than when she's just a greenhorn.

Your forgetting the Steyr Aug that Sonora was using in the first match it was shown very clearly when she and Yura where hiding behind the trees.

About the episode.
That island was covered by lots of forest het the girls where running around in their bikinis true that forest like it was nothing.
Not that i mind the fan service but that has to hurt or at least be unconvertible.
The balls from the guns probably hurt as well.
But logics aside it was a nice episode, tho it seems Sonora is feeling some unexpected rivalry from Yura.
And same things she needs to teach her.

Highlight of the episode = Honoka fan service

Yura's character has certainly taken a 180 since this show began. I'm not really a fan of hesitant and weak characters like she was in the beginning, but now I feel like she's overly into winning and the battles don't seem as fun anymore. Not to say they're bad by any means because I'm still enjoying them, just... yeah. There's room for improvement for sure.

It's not even about Yura's personality... it's just the battles themselves. The ones in this episode felt very average compared to what I was expecting after watching episode 4. I wish they'd gone down the same concept they were getting at in that episode. The whole thing about Yura immersing herself in her own world was really, really cool and this episode just felt like a level down from that (very much like the first 3 episodes). Hope they step it back up next week.

Yura was great in the first match, but on the second day she totally overcompensated for the lack of fight she showed in the first eps (prolly out of fear of being "dropped" by the other girls, as the nightmare suggests). She needs to find her equilibrium.

While everyone noticed the swimsuits (nice Leaf-bra there, Tamako), NOBODY commented on yura's absolulutely a-fucking-dorable bed hair in the beginning <3

A very disappointing episode. The 'battle' scenes were nothing more but random shoot-outs, which ended up one-sided anyway. Last scene was especially hilarious, when Yura just runs up to the flag in the crossfire, picks it up and runs away without a single hit. I facepalmed so hard at that scene. The rest was just uninteresting slice-of-life-like beach party or whatever it was. Didn't really care about the random fan-service, if you can call it like that, since this episode felt really poor compared to the previous ones. All-in-all I just don't understand what is this show trying to do right now.

Speculah coming through!
> Sonora has her insecurities at first, but eventually got over it, becoming a person who was able to balance having fun and competitiveness.
> Rin had the same problem and Sonora decides to intervene, but Rin became too competitive to the point that Rin frayed her bonds with Sonora and established a rivalry with Sonora. In this case, Sonora acquires a new insecurity about herself, but managed to suppress it... until Yura came.
> Sonora sees the same potential she saw in Rin and decides to take her under her wing, hoping that successfully honing Yura would not only redeem herself, but also to teach Rin a lesson about how airsoft should be played. It did not work at first, and she decides to push Yura into honing her skills more.

Unfortunately, Yura's own insecurities force Yura to adopt a completely competitive character when playing airsoft, and Sonora's not only disappointed in Yura, whom she thinks is her road to redemption, but also in herself, who realized that she created a monster for the second time in a row.

Well, the next episode's probably gonna be a wind-down episode. We'll see if Sonora is still haunted by the outcome of the island matches and if Yura is still the tryhard like in the CTF game.

If you look into it hard enough, you'll realize that there is a decent story in this poorly animated series. :P

This was an ok episode, if they were going to put fan service for Honoka, they should of done the same for Rento, I mean, look at those JUGS! I'm such a pervert xD, but besides that, it was almost like she was non-existent throughout this episode, and overall, this shows needs to seriously flesh out more characters than just Yura, and Sono(somewhat). I feel like everyone besides those two are just side characters.

Back to the episode, I can understand why Sono wasn't smiling, Yura was having the mindset that if that loses, everyone would be dissapointed in her due to that dream, and that's not Sono wanted Yura to think. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you have fun and tried your best, that's where the reward comes from. Judging from that, I can pretty much predict what'll happen next, but with that preview, I'm having second guesses lol.
