Another challenge for our spies huh? I feel like this is part of Klaus and his list of favorite hobbies now.

But hey, we got more storytelling and background info on Sara. I feel like they're really giving the entire cast its time to shine. Sara seems like a friendly girl among the cast.

Well, i guess this week we took a break from all the assassination attempts ? Cause frankly, not only the audience, but the very mansion itself had enough of it, lol, barely holding together from all the incompetence. Also, the animal girl got a bit focus ? I guess ? ... .. . barely ?

Dude, they even doing the heavy brush character overlay meme format, lmao. And honestly, i am not surprised that this one is also getting a delayed for a week.

Erna was so adorable. Lily betrayed her team for food again and again. 😂
After 7 episodes, finally, they mentioned the word 'Hebi'. I really hope we will be back on track with the second volume starting from the next episode. Otherwise,

Oh God, still within the confines of the flashback...but trading in character development for these past few episodes.

Lamplight still devoted to their training before the death-defying Impossible Mission, and Erna getting all scared from a possible ghost sighting to have Sara's animals help calm her down, and the latter being the one repairing the manor all this while, while the others get their good night's rest, she, like Klaus, is the lowest in the pecking order of the group. Klaus treats Lamplight with the finest of details, like cooking meals for them for rewards.

But like everything in the manor, everything has to be earned. And a contest of keeping the manor clean to win the tenderloin steak for dinner, Lamplight's strategies just doesn't seem to measure up to Klaus's perfection, going for the comedy aspect to pull all the stops. To be a great spy means discerning the good from the bad, and whatever the Lamplight girls have in mind in this CGDST (Cute Girls Doing Spy Things)-like fashion, it's clearly working against them. And Sara, codename Meadow, proves why she is Lamplight's resource spy, utilizing her animals to help the others, and being praised by Klaus for her efforts. Klaus is an animal lover, but he sure isn't hiding the fact that the animals like dog Johnny hate him.

A new lead and a new target, hopefully we can pick up speed on the LN adaptation.

In the right circumstances, even the lowest of the low shines, and Sara shines this episode.

Don't know if the one directing this adaptation is a fresh college passout with no prior experience or the committee just forgot to check upon the CV of the man who's actually doing this job, because no way the direction choice feels like something any person who have had a past track record of any kind would go with.

Impossible mission on 4th episode and then we're doing the character research... no wonder LN adaptations are utter garbage 9 out of 10 times.

They've stooped to fan service now,
and I've been wondering isn't that Erna girl meant to be like the Kuroko of the group, isn't she meant to be inconspicuous for their mission? how come she basically has the most screentime ?

Feel and this production committee are war criminals. I’ll never understand why you adapt a popular LN series only to butcher it like this.

The purpose of an LN adaptation is to promote the source material but this isn’t motivating me or anyone else to peep the LNs, lmao. I did grab them because they were 40 percent off at my local barnes and noble closing sale but j would never pay full price based on this adaptation.

Like why the hell do we need a 30 min ep of them cleaning a damn house.

So they don't even care about their own established rules. Unless I'm mistaken, this is still before the mission, right? The whole thing about Erna is they had to make her secret member because the mansion was tapped, but they doesn't seem to care about that anymore.

The LN author was trilled to see this SS from the SS volume 1 be adapted, it’s one of his/her favs.

SpyRoom is a story that kept most characters in the background for a while, they weren’t even named aside for the hair color but that approach isn’t anime friendly at all, so they had to come up with another angle for the adaptation, hence doing the SS vol 1 now, before vol 2.

Lots of positive comments from the jp fan base as well, and for the record it’s the LN getting the 2nd biggest anime boost after tenshi.

24 minutes of people cleaning a house. Yeah, that's where we're at, plus the random fan service and paper cutter looking designs did not help this episode out in any way. Just a series in the mud because of structural issues, and it's doomed because of it. I'm hearing that the anime has boosted LN sales for this a lot, the second biggest boost behind Angel Next Door, and what can I say, that doesn't surprise me at all.

Man they tried to attack Klaus so much that they basically ruined the whole mansion lmfao, It was chaotic. 

Another challenge for the girls from Klaus, this time its for an steak, and they all want it for themselves. 

We even got an look into the past for Sara when she was in another academy and she basically was treated like crap. 

The whole cast shone through the whole episode and Sara stood in the spotlight as well and Klaus was happy for her so that's good. 


They lost 5-0 to Klaus so they ended up needing to share the steak though, lol but at least they took up Sara's offer to watch after the house as well and do some chores from time to time.

So in this episode the focus was on Sara, the self proclaimed "weakest" member of the team. She is handy though, both with repairs and with animals so she's definitely useful. At the end of the episode the other girls decided to help with maintenance so that was good, especially for Sara to get some good sleep.

The post-credits scene hinted that the sniper may be part of a spy team called "Serpent." I wonder if that means that the next episode will progress past the Impossible Mission.

Nope, it is not doomed. It is the opposite. It is one of the few anime that will actually stick around. 
When it comes to Kadokawa, success is primarily measured by circulation. If you are a new series, you have to be within the top 10 best selling light novel series. Otherwise any possibility of lasting more than 2 cours is completely gone, and cancellation is like guaranteed.

It is Kadokawa's top selling light novel series for January and outsold Tensura which is considered a titan. It continued within January

This time they focus on Sara, well she's the cutest so no complaints, Sara is one of the quieter girls and she was not especially talented in Spy Training. Now the house Lamplight are staying in is falling apart, thanks to all the destructive traps set by the girls to take down Klaus- even though none of them worked. Now it turns out Sara is fixing up the place during nights while everyone is asleep. Everyone except Klaus of course (does the man ever sleep?)
He tricks the girls into a competition to do repairs to the manor, but Sara likes the idea. In the end she's given a tasty cut of that steak. Not sure what her handyman skills are going to be in the Spy world, if the car breaks down behind enemy lines- she'd be the one to rely on.

The girls vs Klaus once again but this time in a cleaning competition?

Sara gets the spotlight this week, we get a bit of background info on her and why she decided to become a spy. To mainly help her family financially.

The cleaning competition went as you would expect. The girls try to mess him up but instead mess themselves up, Klaus wins 5-0. But Sara had her moment during the last contest utilising her animal companions to try and win. Klaus still wins in the end but Sara gets Klaus's praise in the end. She also works up the courage to ask the girls to help with repairing the manor (before we see that she has been the one helping out repair the manor before). Sara seems like a nice girl, nice to see some development on her. Also Klaus seems to like animals, and it was kinda obvious that he was hiding a little pain when Johnny bit him lol.

Speaaaaaking of development, we finally get some progress in the present time with Klaus getting news that there is a new lead on the sniper who shot Guido. That they are a potential member of the empires top spy team Serpent. 

With the girls on holiday and a new lead. I kinda wish we get a whole episode set in the present time (after the impossible mission). But it seems we will have to wait 2 weeks cause of another delay ffs. 
I mean atleasts its only 2 weeks that's not to bad.

I loved the episode, the approach that was given to Sara seemed excellent to me, although we did not know much about her past, at least we have more information on why she became a spy, in turn, I also liked the dynamics of the "contest ", which they did to repair the mansion.

In the final part they leave a kind of "cliffhanger" to hook you and make you wait until March, since they are going to take a break from the transmissions, bruh, honestly I don't believe the excuse that it's because of the covid 19 anymore, in personally, I suppose that there may be something more than simply delaying production times.

Her mission is to not be found out as a 8th member by not making too much noise or have other ppls speaking her name inside the manor.

Erna can still walk around and talk normally, as there's only "audio recording", no Cameras.

And the recording is only inside the manor, outside of the manor everyone can interact with her normally.

___ ___ ___


And yea... Erna still taking most of the hits from everyone's daily life of trying to take down the teach. poor girl.

And apparently it's Sara that's been repairing the house after every attempt. Here I thought Teach was doing that.


___ ___ ___


LOL @ Lily dreaming about stealing cookies...


And then Teach served the girls bunch of good food and told them about the steak.

While the girls were chanting "SENSEI SENSEI SENSEI"

Only to then JEBAIT them the food might not be for them, LOOOOL

And the chant turns into "NIKU NIKU NIKU" LOOOOOL

___ ___ ___

Teach is a mastermind.

He made it a contest on who can fix parts of the manor the fastest.

But of course, Teach is the fastest, LOL.


Also, Lily , NICE SABOTAGE, VERY GOOD. I like it, keep up the good work.

And then Lily goes "NIKU NIKU" like a psycho going crazy for food...


Nice animals teamwork. Tho... if the teach has the sprayer... why didn't the girls just get a sprayer too? why were they doing it by hand?


___ ___ ___


Also... they technically completed "beating the teach" mission in this episode.

If only Johnny the doggie was part of the Spy Group, LOOOOL

This is a very lovely series. Sad to see this getting a score below than 7 but whatever, 9/10 for me. I enjoy this series as it is but since the so called source readers were complaining about this adaptation. meh ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

My best girl for this series, currently, will be Grette. Her character design, posture, attitude, her all are all GREAT! 👀😅😏 (don't quote me on that)

This kind of fan service is okay, it's not overly done. At the very least, fortunately, we didn't get them in their lingerie (borderline-okay) or worse, butt naked. Watching lovely girls like these do their own thing are quite endearing to watch.
CrazyButNot4UApr 22, 2023 1:41 AM
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.
