I did not expect that! I was thinking Princess was damn smart, but no, Ange did a great move!

Background ep how their group came to be was actually pretty nice. And I like how Ange and Charlotte switched their names.

Still, even though the plot was pretty good they are still way too obvious as spies, too many times acting in the center of attention. They would probably be found right away. Well, anime logic but if this don't get any worse I'm willing to take some liberties.

Dresses & bgs so nice, & those weird armor plates.
The gadget designs & secret hand motions were great.
Oh 10 year reunion in the East/Normandy it seems. Ange & Princess Charlotte swapped, but Ange works for West officially tho a double agent, and Princess also a spy mentioned in ep1 I think. So somehow West or someone wants to gain rulership of the East from the inside?
Ange says they're not assassins, but she still killed that poor chap in ep1, a major difference with the avoidance of killing in Joker Game.

for curious people here the letter at the end:


Thank you so much for this!

And, as everyone's been saying: this anime is amazing! Truly stellar! Four episodes in and I already feel the need to rewatch everything to see how it all fits together!

I hope we get some epilogues or breather episodes alongside the main plot as well, at least between Ange and Charlotte.

I had to watch this twice as well. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, considering that Oukouchi Ichirou is writing this series (the guy whose main priorities are gratuitous twists and "rule of cool" moments instead of making any sense - without a hint of self awareness)... But I'm enjoying it so far.

Also, I am the worst trash; I'm already shipping Action Princess with Fake Princess. I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I can't help it. Someone send help...


Now I can't even look at OP without viewing them in that light.

This episode showed how Ange and the princess became friends, right? But what are they to each other ten years ago? So, Ange's real name is Charlotte?

This episode is pretty badass. I liked it.

So now is the time for explanations and presentations. Well, there may also be the fact that to do this the narrative pace must be much more peaceful, however the narrative can be intriguing thanks to the scenes seen during the whole episode and thanks again to the great charisma of Ange and Dorothy too. But the quality of the drawings has dropped quite a bit. Great ending, I really like it.

Ah, first episode was action opening. Now it is time to head to fancy ball for some backstory and intrigue! And apparently this is the real first episode. I wonder if that previous episode is going to have very different meaning at the end of the series?

Nice to see that they jumped back in time to tell us a bit more regarding the character setting! Really lovely, a bit weird though they jumped back in time without any direct clues or started with this episode, but on the other hand this does make it a bit more interesting to mix it up!

All in all a pretty solid episode, let's see what's next.

I wasn't entirely sold on the first episode, more just curious... but now they've got me with this one. Honestly, I think they would have been better off if they had started the story here, but I get why they didn't... I just don't agree with the reasoning.

I am quite happy with the series so far. The art is nicely done as is the ED which features each of the characters singing on it. Well done!

So the Princess (Charlotte) is actually the original Ange and Ange is actually the original Princess Charlotte. Great episode 5/5.

I think that I need to watch this show in chronological order cuz i'm a bit lost.

So, Ange and the Princess are the same? I really liked this twist.

That was a good episode with some damning twists at times, especially with the very end when it came to Ange and the Princess Charlotte and their identities and relationship. The production value was a bit low in this episode, with some frames looking a bit sloppy and the CG for the dancing looking incredibly stiff, as well as even some cinematography showing the girls move with the camera panning looking rough there too. But the content was pretty exciting and quite the mindfuck if you ask me but its entertaining.

The dub is still a bit weird since I can confirm in my head, the characters look way younger than how they sound, its way too posh and faked since they sound like middle aged women while they're high school age. Still appreciate the dialogue and how its presented a lot more than the Japanese version so I'll adjust mentally with it.

when she pulled her dress down and her boobies nearly plopped right out i was like wtf is going on

anyways, this was a better episode than the first. some of the voices still seem to bother me, but it wasn't as bad (or i've just gotten used to it). also kind of nice to see this backstory. they felt like real people this episode and not like the caricatures they were in the first episode

everybody's a little too clever for their own good, but what can ya do...?

Rewatching this to watch the movie after the series and damn, I love those sneaky bitches. Great to see "moe girls", who aren't naive or dense. ❤
Also the steampunk atmosphere and colors: great!

So, Ange is Charlotte and Charlotte is Ange. That plot twist at the end was unexpected.

Ah of course, when distinguishing Ange and Princess Charlotte, they're one and the same. Ange is a master spy of disguise, but Charlotte is in another ball park of her own.

The first episode of its intended chronological story order, and this is a great introduction for the Principal girls spy team setting up against the Duke of Normandy.

The 3D camerawork does feel jarring, but it does provide the sense of the scene shots in tandem with the focus of the characters.

As is back then, I remember this episode was a lot better than the 1st episode due to its non-linear story plot, but re-watching this, I can greatly appreciate the show for what it is.

I hope this show doesn't shoot itself in the foot, being an original and all.

Ange is quite the actress, impersonating the Princess almost perfectly in mere minutes. To be expected tho as they are old acquaintances... Somehow.

The Duke feels like a proper menace. He could turn out to be an adequate villain for our little spies to go against. Did you know the girls were spies? I didn't, but they reminded me. Thanks show.

I can't believe I missed that Ange is Charlotte and Charlotte is Ange. That one plot point where the Duke calls her by name and I nudge it off.

I'm kinda missing a lot of explanation, for example who's the Normandy, who's the West, which are our spy girls a part of? Also how does Ange/Charlotte know the princess, but I assume this will be answered soon.
