Forced drama, forced dialogues, lame production value and wacked characters. The only saving graces of this POS are the amazing BG and the STALKER rip off mystery. While KLK clearly screams as our face "We are crazy and we dont give a crap about story", this POS kept trying to be smart, trying to be intelligent and it failed! If you are not intelligent, dont try to be one because it's an eyesore, it's an insult to the other actually-clever-series. It would be a lot better if it focus on the action and mysterious stuff. But heck, I have enough of this.

A little more decent than the previous two episodes but still not quite there yet, it's still pretty laughable. I wonder what Aoi is there for since she apparently doesn't have any powers whatsoever.

Oh well cool, Taeko has super vision while Aoi has no super powers? That grandma must be quite healthy, her movements were like that of young people.

I know right! Things just worked too great in their favor, and too much for coincidence.
"Eh I can't see what's that flying on the sky"
"Oh no worry, you have me that have better eyesight than the average human"

And that projectile at the end, "Oh I found this near somewhere", yeah right.

And that grandma, really, too healthy, she can run around man, had no problem walking about, why the hell did her family abandon her? It's not like she needed help with walking around.

The development still seems a bit iffy, The show itself is enjoyable and I see a plot finally emerging.

This. I love how they introduce the scientist that's responsible for all these in the third episode. I guess it's a given huh since this show will only have 13 episodes.

SliceofHorror said:
This episode was a bit better than last week's... And is that a plot I see??
So far this anime has just been kinda dull.

It's better than the previous episode, definitely, but the first episode is still the best among these 3.

Marzan said:
but for some reason 3 episodes in, I'm still not feeling the characters. The 3 girls in particular are poorly written IMO.

Same here. The other 2 are just too submissive, and they focused too much on Ibara alone, and Ibara is.. well like you've said, quite poorly written.

I don't like how she can escape every bullets from that machine gun lol, the other dude must be a poor shooter to be shooting at the air.

See? THAT'S the spirit!

I'm not kidding. Having read up to the 9th volume, trust me when I say you'll enjoy this show immensely if you just run with it and leave logic completely out of it.

Completely.

Out of it.

WTF Are you serious? Man what a disappointment.
Litrydow said:
Only 1 melodrama scene and it wasn't bad, as the scientist's feelings are more logical, unlike the girls'.

Agreed.
skudoops said:

1. THE WOLF stole car keys.

4. The dialogue in general is asinine "If you are a scientist stand proud"... stand proud for what? That you messed up and destroyed tokyo lmfao? Also "Everyone wanted this" when earlier in the episode they explicitly said no one wanted that lmao...

5. How the hell are they going to fight a stealth bomber with a stinger anyway..

Totally agreed. I was thinking, stand proud of what? Lol.
WorldInverse said:

I just....ugh why the characters are crying here and there..

elvenladders said:
I'm sorry, but do you really need special abilities to tell the difference between a crow and a fuckin' stealth bomber? At least I got some good laughs out of some of the crap they said in this episode.

"they've accepted the harshness of reality"
lol Weren't they in shambles last episode?

"physical capabilities are ten times better than average"
She couldn't carry a woman and a kid, but hey she can one-hand a rocket launcher and dodge bullets like nobody's business.

Agree with everything, but your last one, I didn't thought of that, now that you mentioned it, it seems so.. WTF-ish. Already a plothole

Getting more and more disappointed. No character or plot development so far, some seiyuu are becoming annoying, mostly because there's lots of shouting. Ibara is really irritating and for some reason another two girls hardly get any screentime.
Guess will be dropping this show after another episode or two. And there i was, looking forward for it to air. Damn.

This is an okay episode, I kind of have an issue about the story and the dialogue of it so I have to repeat some scenes to make it understandable. As for the characters, they are ok but they have not grown into me yet especially the other two girls who are not supporting Ibara though.

Aw well Animation, art, music, and setting were still pretty good, and the reveal of the plant explosion scientist. Well, now chasing that stealth bomber in the next episode.

Let's shoot down the stealth bomber so we can ask them questions!

Haha, that stealth bomber was kind of random. They were on a mission to rescue the elder, and somehow that plane got mixed into all of it. Oh well, it's probably for the better, seems interesting.

Well I'm slowly liking this show a bit more, it's slightly more interesting.

The guys in the B-2 stealth bomber turned out to be the cause of the increase in contamination from the radioactive waste being dumped. Wonder who the culprit is though. I don't really see them managing to take down the B-2 but guess we'll see how that goes lol.

Lol, I thought exactly the same, it was obvious at least that it was some sort of plane (I too recognized the B-2).

They sure were lucky to find that Type 91. I wonder if they will take down that "cheap" aircraft with this.

An okay episode, had a bit of a problem with those dialogues. And I'd like to see more of the two other girls. They hardly do anything except waiting here and there and running of what we can see. I'd like to see more of them.

Seriously, I think the dog/wolf is better off doing his own thing. They keep leaving him anyways (and he's smart because he doesn't enter highly contaminated areas).

In what kind of cave do you need to live to not know what a B2 stealth bomber is, or from which country it is.

Well, that was at least better then episode 2. But that doesn't say much.

Some people already pointed out that Ibara's "10 times more awesome then other people!!" is nonsense, looking back at the previous episode.
But I'll just take it, whatever. But isn't that "elite team" (yeah sure) a little bit imbalanced? Ibara's Super Girl, glasses chick (whatever her name is, who cares) can talk to animals AND can get all binocular-eyes and the third one is.... Kana Hanazawa?
I love Kana Hanazawa, really. But she's getting SO many annoying roles lately, gawd.

And shooting a B2 Bomber with a Stinger? Even Solid Snake couldn't do that (well, maybe he's the only one who'd somehow manage).
For a show going all post-nuclearic and dramatic, this is just way too much illogical nonsense going on there. If I can't take a drama series seriously, then there really is no point whatsoever.

Seriously, this is as badly written and illogical as Jormungand. Did the writer do any research on nuclear stuff or war machines before putting them in his story? Feh to the critical research failure. Feh I say!

Yeah...turning off my brain is probably the best solution. Or else I'll be choking every episode.

But if the dialogue gets even more corny (and not in a good way), not even shutting down my brain is going to remedy it >>

Agreed. While it can avoid radar and it's virtually invisible in the black of night, in the daytime there is NO AIRCRAFT ON EARTH with a profile more recognizable than the B-2. You don't need special vision to ID that one! Incidentally, I once saw one flying overhead that was in the process of mid-air refueling. Once the tanker broke off and the B-2 resumed normal flight, it was gone in a hurry. Those suckers are FAST.

This team has:
Power girl that has 10x physical prowess of a girl.
Beast girl that has acute senses to the level beyond human perception.
Feels girl that is 10x more sensitive to feels.

I can see that with their power combined they can take down that B-2 easily.
Girl B: There it is, the plane! Aim it 12.35 degrees up and 5.7 degrees right!
Girl A: Okay, lucky that I have more strength than normal humans that I could keep my aim stable in moving vehicle!
Girl B: Shoot!
*wooosh!*
*BOOM*
Girl C: Nooo! why did you killed those bad people, why!?
Girl C: Bad people are people too!

Two things I like about this anime:

1. Concept. (radiation and all that stuff)
2. ED (Best I have heard in a long time.

This was definitely better than last week's.

So Ibara is 10x more capable than a normal human, why didn't you use that to save the mother then?
And Taeko(?) has supper enhanced senses like an animal, or was it vision only?? Well that was a SMART -_- way too show off some useful skills -__-
...Aoi... ... ...

I really like that "Science is my mother" part.
"They have accepted reality" HAHAHA They really wanted to make the 3 look somewhat cool with that, NOT WORKING really.

I dunno, do you really need an extra sight to recognize stealth bomber from crow demon? (not to mention there is no way those crow would be able to fly behind it). Sometimes I just have a feeling those girls are stating obvious.

Anyway, it was at least better than last time. Though they are burning through manga chapters rather fast, three eps and we are in chapter 17...

Next time, prepare for this:

And so the serious fun action begins. Oh yeah!
I'm beginning to like this show actually since the 1st 2 episodes were kinda meh and it's a good improvement. Finally seeing a plot beginning to form. Ibara referring to the city as her 'hometown' and 'science' being their or her mother might see a good background arc of their origins soon. It's like STALKER meets Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou.
Oh is the grandma gonna be part of the crew? I think it would be very funny if it is. lol

It's surprising how accurate Bomber-Guy was firing from the hip with a SMG in full protective gear at that range. Although, i guess it wouldn't make much of a story if one of the MCs was head-shot in episode 3.

Except in this case their chances of success depends the weapons themselves rather than operator prowess or skill. The Hand Arrow (much like the Stinger) is a infrared-seeking SAM that isn't designed to be blindfired (I guess you could blindfire it, but no missile flies exactly straight, especially when fired from the ground into the air). Considering the B-2 has stealth tech designed to thwart MANPADS targeting systems, it doesn't matter how good your aim or lock-on is (if you can even get a tone), it'll miss. In public record, no B-2 made in history has ever been hit by a SAM. Compound it with the fact that these MANPADS have shelf lives of 4-5 years (the one we're looking at has been in storage in the nuclear wasteland for 20 years). I'd be surprised if they can even fire it.

Episode that moves, while the narrative will try to break like the last time the viewer to do so. Graphically and technically does not shine, the study Go Hands is not a peak as I see this time either! Oh well, we are used to it! XD
Among so much enough, the real rough stone that can shine like a diamond if the plot is well polished! The only element that I really like it!
Characters still little exploited, but even rough are emerging!
Rating of 3/5 more than adequate even today!
