Awesome! This is getting better and better by the episode. That wormlike Gaichuu looked really good as well and the fight was great.
I'm loving all the characters so far, especially Niche. She's too cute!

Zazie's a badass, and Aria is so sexy and hot. They took few scenes out in anime, but the anime follow the manga faithfully, at least. I started the manga few months ago, so I knew what happened to Gauche. I can't wait for the next episode and cute Sylvette.

When I read the manga I seriously thought Zazie was a girl.

This episode was amazing^^ And I just love Zazie's dingo. It's really beautiful and cool.

Other than that, I really wasn't expecting Gauche to not be a Bee anymore... But judging from the preview it'll be explained next episode. Or at least part of it. Anyway, Lag was really cool there and I'm glad that cheater was uncovered. Humph, doing nothing and trying to steal the both the spotlight and the spot (as a Letter Bee). What a shameless guy.

Got a feeling that Lag somehow connect to Sylvette.
I never thought that guy faking the letter.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

This season's, this anime has bestowed upon womenity *he he* great bishounens...:)
Not really i mean look at Aria and Sylvette..and more character has yet to appear

I have a feeling you have mistaken my words , i meant this anime has given us many guys this season to do *wow*, *blush* sort of things--the two gate keepers , gauche , lloyd , jeggy pepper ( the name destroys his looks though) and maybe they will show us more ...this show is like SANTA...forgive me dont know why did i do the wierd comparison..he he..


i agree with you so many bishounens x3 ...

so Gauche is really strong he defeated it faster than anyone so cool x3...
but looks like something bad happened to him...he's gun was with his sister so what happened to him :( ...
my eyes got teary by just watching the next episodes preview >.< ...

This has been pretty good so far, but Lag crying at least once every episode is getting old fast.

That was awfully conventional. The (relative) lack of focus on superpowers and battles set this apart from most shonen shows but this might as well have been an episode from one of the million series about hunting monsters.

The twist, as it were, would have made more sense if the failed applicant simply lost the letter and created a fake one with generic stuff a kid might write. That would show a serious lack of respect for sender and receiver and make more sense than this weird thing about replacing the letter because it got dirty and him having oddly intense feelings that the letter was dumb.

Also, didn't the first episode imply that firing shindan had a negative effect on the person who fired it? Should Lag be shooting off all the time like this?

I agree in that the exam was all too familiar, but I think the point was to show that Team Lag can kick ass in a battle together. I was also disappointed in the way Macky, the other applicant, was handled. I expected something more creative than the usual "the opponent is a jerk therefore he loses". Hell, if Zazie had just shown up to tell the old lady that it was thanks to Lag that Macky was able to get through the course alive, let alone deliver the letter, and then proceed to disqualify Macky, I would have been happy. Sometimes less is more.

I imagine it's something akin to an ability using up stamina or mana in a video game, and basically the bees can recover their energy with a good night's sleep. But it could turn out that it indeed has more serious long-term consequences, like alcohol.

Finally I'm watching series where every episode passes so quickly that I can't notice it- because every episode filled with something moving and gripping- can't be happier!
