| Really thrilling episode, best of the series so far and the dub is getting better and better for me too. The dub's been a fascinating mixed bag so far since a lot of the people speak the same way when there's multiple kinds of British accents and some sound a lot older than they look like Beatrice, but I felt like the dub did this episode immense justice, by having Chise shine with her bilingual side as she speaks in almost a broken English accent since she's a Japanese character in the show and the dub actually maintains the Japanese audio for some of the Japanese characters who can't speak English when in combat. It's a smart technique that not many anime pull off, utilizing various kinds of languages and maintaining it smartly to create a better atmosphere and realism for the show. The content itself was really exciting surrounding the theme of assassination this time around and I have to say, Chise was a beast of a samurai in this episode. Glad she joined up with the rest of the crew permanently. The show took quite an interesting approach with her character since she's almost written like a Western version of what a Japanese character would be like with some additional influences of Japanese culture when it comes to behavior, despite the actual anime being Japanese straight up. It fits the show though in a weird way, just like the dub's beginning to fit more and more now too. The structure of storytelling still feels a bit odd and unnecessarily non-linear but it didn't matter much here, I had so much fun regardless. Oh yeah, Yuki Kajiura still delivers immensely with the score for the anime. Adds so much bloodpumping excitement to scenes with how great her jazzy compositions have been, plus hearing the opening song as usual just makes me even more hyped up. |
| oo an episode on how they met chise ! that "owie owie go away" part after chise's father died </33 but another nice episode, chise and ange made a quite good duo despite only knowing each other for a day |
| Nice action-packed episode. Chise was introduced. The scene at her father's grave was very touching. "Owie, owie, fly away..." Well, it didn't help much this time. Poor girl. |

| The episode where Chise is introduced into the Principal Team, this non-linear story plot knows how to work its wonders by backtracking. Aside from the culture shock difference between the rest and her extended family of Japanese expats in foreign land, there's reason for anyone to doubt Chise's involvement to kill their enemy, and Princess places her under watch with Ange for a change. Once again, another feud from the Duke of Normandy brought to the Principal spy team, and Chise and Ange makes for an interesting double team. Technically this is Chise's first fight on foreign soil, and to say that the impression is something I still remember fondly between a traitorous father and loyal daughter. "Owie, owie, fly away..." what a stark reminder. |

| Some thrilling fight choreography, despite it being somewhat of a claustrophobic experience with all the close-up shots. Great fight regardless. The characters moved with added emphasis. Instantly remembered that this ep featured the 'Ebata Walk', so it clicked from there. Character design can be a bit off. Took me a sec to realise that the guy from ep 4, who was beside the Queen, was the Duke of Normandy... I think. Sounded the same, had blue eyes and grey hair. If it wasn't, I blame the character design. |

| That sword fight was amazing. If nothing, the action in this series is pretty fucking good. |
| Yeah this anime is pretty freaking good |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Pretty good fight animation this episode. |
| So cool how Beatrice survived a blast from the sword that cut down the door just moments before. Cyborgs are so cool. Also I love Chise's backstory! The train hopping and the fight with Jubei were really cool. |
 |
| So Princess was on a mission for the East to meet Horikawa. To the East, Ange and Dorothy are simply school friends of Princess, so they are allowed to accompany her as maids. But then Ange just treats the soldiers like she owns them and her and Dorothy fight with an assassin on the roof of the train and everyone is like... sure? Wouldn't they be suspicious why they have these skills? Seems like a huge plot hole. |
| that was a pretty obvious reveal, but the episode was still good. |
 |
| nice Chise's fight scene. didnt expect the ending (i mean, before she joined xp) |
