Hm, OP song is surprisingly catchy for this show imo.

We got more wold building with their society but the story itself still feels a bit loose. I have some mixed feelings about the character relationship between the girls. Retsu surprisingly offers Yui some comfort. Ingrid is still the most mysterious character in this series though. Action was okay, the standard mecha stuff that I had anticipated. Yui's also got quite the responsibility..

Wtf when I'm enjoying mecha fight then the episode ended, damn need to wait next episode. Anyways the op really is good.

The mech designs are not that bad, the skills they use are very unique. You can see the mechs armor being damaged during fighting.

Seems are little queen is a bit of an airhead mentioning her three sizes and all.
And also rushing into a fight knowing that it is a trap.
Well it seems her advisors didn't like the idea either.

Quite the cliffhanger, but I expect Yui and Rena will somehow pull through. Maybe those girls we saw eating will turn out to be a regalia duo and help or something.

That aside an okay outing. Loved that yurilicious scene of Yui hugging Rena in bed. XD I imagine those three sizes of Yui were awesome....bust especially! XD Also, for an Empress it sure was awfully simple for the enemy to meet Yui alone. How convenient that they didn't abduct her or something. XD

"Three size" you ask? Seriously?! I know there's something about that one reporter for asking it. He must have "ulterior motive" for asking that question.
Now some people get to know some about this "Regalia" thing. Even when it's hard to believe that little Rena to become that gigantic. Tough decision Yui has to make, to protect both her country and Rena.

That was great, apart from her highness not having any bodyguard while in public...
But I will overlook it for the yuriness.

Really wasn't feeling this episode, I don't know why I was expecting more after that cool fight in ep 1.

I'll stick with it though.

I actually quite enjoyed the first episode but my suspension of disbelief just didn't hold up in this one.

How is the emperess not guarded 24/7... i mean... she's actually surrounded by 2 guys in an alley and they just do whatever... what if it was assassins trying to cause a political crisis?

And can the glasses guy and/or the kid actually teleport themselves and other objects? Is the whole magic trick just a sham to keep the opponent confused or was it just a cheap way to have an illusionist opponent for our heroins? Something tells me it's the latter...

Oh well, let's hope the remaining mechas are more like the one from the first episode or the main ine and less like the illusionist one, and that security around the EMPRESS actually exists from here on out.

Pretty good episode, although they could have done the pacing a bit more better than before. As for the second half I was expecting the usual Koutetsushin Jeeg staff to puff some pretty amazing animation directing. It was fairly entertaining, and it actually feels rather nostalgic in terms of the 2D mechs since its been a long while since I've watched a 2D mech (that isn't Sunrise... tho they make 2D mechs so)

Cliffhanger. The action was ok, but I'm not sure about the whole episode. Guess it was fine overall.

the episode felt kinda weird unlike the first episode. and seriously, wtf with the intro lol

a pretty good episode overall. as usual, action scene looks great imo. but for characterization and development, it felt weird to me. i'm guessing those two new character will help them in the next episode :D and i'm sensing shoujo ai coming from this anime. well, i'm okay with it :D especially that short hair girl. looks like she likes the female MC xD

looking foward to the next episode.

The empress almost got crushed like a fly by a giant mecha but of course it's perfectly safe for her to wander around without guards. And after telling about her three sizes in the national television, she got embarrassed about it. This show should've definitely gone the comedy route. Still, nice yuri and mecha action.

I think it is appealing towards both.

As a mecha fan it kinda ruins it for me, too many lolis in it for me and while I don't mind female protagonists in my mecha shows like Cross Ange for example but with this... some shitty loli I can't take seriously no thanks.

Well lets see for how much longer I can tolerate this show.

Eh I think for me it was rather refreshing, and sure whatever you can't take seriously it just depends on the audience imo.

The mechs being 2d-hand-drawn makes it so much more easier on the eyes :p

I can tolerate non-aging loli's as long as they are acting their "real" age (not appearance-age, but mentally)

I do want there to at least be a male lead too just to balance out the female chars alittle bit (and to be purely platonic friendship between all characters)
...but I'm not the one making the show :|

I can take a show being this stupid if it's also fun, but this was so boring it took me 3 sittings to watch this episode. The only reason I did it was the fight scene in episode 1, but the one this week was so dumb and weightless that I completely lost interest in what was happening. Sorry to the animators, but I won't be coming back for more.

Decent episode. Yui was struggling with her position as Empress of Enastria and her feelings and will to protect her sister. Battle animation was kinda choppy but it's alright. Curious about the twins who always eating, probably one of them is a regalia just like Rena.

1. Talk about the worst kind of story-telling: one where you don't even get introduced to the characters. (There's not even a slide text of their names -_-)
2. What's with this somebody asking for the empress' 3 sizes and the empress answers but we, the watchers who are watching this show and decide if this thing any good or not, don't get the answer!!! -_-

After 2 episodes, to me its very much a loli show! xD Still quite funny on how lightheaded the lilsister is, love the fighting scenes so far. Great animation, n OP really fits in perfect! That cliffhanger tho in the end.

qp:flapper designs really cute & easy on the eyes.
ED nice art.
Retty such a troll friend, yuri got strong this ep. Nice animation & fight overall. Magic trick with mech feel a bit silly, dont like mechs with teleport, cqc & petals were cool tho.
Rare to have empress as mc, but she needs to act like one more. Nice the loli is very mature in those meetings. 2nd half pre-fight got really slow pacing.

Loli-mecha... guilty pleasure of the season.

How does the empress have zero bodyguards around her?
And someone asking her sizes left with his head? ... but it seems everyone loves her because she's so nice, not because she rules with an iron fist. Nice to see she isn't keeping her advisers in the dark about all of this either.

I think they boosted the yuri metaphors.
10:50 Nicer ship + animated wake foam (while talking about Rena), 9:28 yuri bed gets high detail folds, 10s hold for Yui blush (also a hold for Magician).
Still no bodyguards & dialogue seems the same...

I enjoyed this episode much more than the first.

So, Rena is some kind of ancient weapon and Ingrid urges Yui to hand her over, then the danger to her country will be gone. Doing so would be incredibly stupid. What keeps the enemy from not keeping their promise and destroying everything just for the sake of it? In this case you couldn't even fight back.

Also, the old dude looks like a bad villain from an old chinese movie.

As for the question about her three sizes, they even explained why she answered the question.

And bodyguards? Who cares? That's anime, not reality. Plus, that you don't see them, doesn't mean there aren't any.

The re-air version also does not reveal Yui's 3 sizes.

The ED is nice how it reveals why Yui calls Rena her big sister. (same ED as original, I just didn't comment on it before)

I'm not watching both versions side-by-side... nice catch on the boat. I did notice it in the scene (not that it was different) and it seemed out-of-place (didn't match the art style as well). I like the old boat better.
