QuynhNhu said: A lot of action this episode and it was great. This is case 7 and Chise is introduced, so I think that in the future with case 3, 4, 5, 6 she will be absent. It's a pity because I really like her, she is an interesting character, cute and a double spy. Beato, being a robot has managed to survive. yea, i wish this episode was case 4 or 5 so we can see her more often. Ps: the katana sound effect kind of weird for me, it sound to low like bigger sword, steel staff or pole axe compare to other anime that use katana. |
| I'm starting to get used to the messed up order of these case files. It's nice for character development, though I'm not sure if it gets too messed up that I have to go back on some episodes to look for clues later on. |

| Chise gets her full introduction in this episode and she's certainly a match against Ange as they battled briefly, but at least they worked like a duo dream team as they made easy work of the enemy soldiers and samurais. The target was Chise's father, Jubei and his duel against his own daughter was impressive. Chise might've won the duel, but the scene at his grave by the tree (beautiful sunset background BTW), her saying "Owie owie fly away" as she started crying really hit me. The feels was strong. D= @Atavistic It might be a little predictable at times, but personally, the show does a very good job with the execution of the action scenes, bgm and character interaction that makes the shows entertaining, but also good as well. Hence why a lot of people watching this show up to this point really enjoy it, myself included. =) Overall, this was a thrilling episode all throughout, although since this was case 7, would the next set of episodes cover the cases before this one, if it does that is? It reminds me of the broadcast order vs the chronological order of the Haruhi Suzumiya Series now. >_< |
| Very solid episode in terms of story-telling and the formal introduction of Chise and the action scenes were quite amazing. Am I the only one who noticed the movement scenes were kinda off though? Like looking at the way the Japanese characters moved felt a little dramatic with how they walked or jogged. I think it was on purpose to emphasize the difference in body movements between the easterners and westerners but who knows? Also, seems like the broadcasting order is like that of Haruhi Suzumiya so I wonder if they will rebroadcast this or release the BDs with the episodes arranged in the proper case order. |
| Don't believe the hype. |

I definitely want to rewatch this in the proper case order so that the details are more consistent. |

| This had to have been the best episode so far! That sword fight was epic! |
papachulu said: Legendary assassin gets dominated by 12 years old girl. Cool. LOL!! I think Chise said she was 19, but still, hilarious nonetheless. Only in anime. But anyway, good episode. My favorite scene was at the end, when Chise chanted her spell on her heart :'( |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| This episode was predictable and mediocre. Jubei being Chise's father was very predictable. |
| That's without a doubt the best episode so far in my opinion. One epic swordfight, and it looks like this case was Chise's introduction. |
  |
| Another great episode, fast and action packed, very exciting to watch. I was very impressed with Chise, she is a great addition to the team. I liked what she showed in the previous episode. Ange was great yet again. Looking forward to watching the next episode. |

 |
| so... Chise joins the groupie after the first arc (case 1-6.) This episode is Yuki Kajiura. Yup, finally I can say that it's definitely her. |

| This was my favorite episode so far. A Chise-centric episode. |
| On the shortlist of most enjoyable episodes from any show this year. That was a good one. |

papachulu said: Legendary assassin gets dominated by 12 years old girl. Cool. It's more of pupil surpassing their master, him being her father and everything. |
 |
| Episode was lit favorite one yet still felt like we should of gotten this before last week but hey at least we now know how Chise joined I'm not crazy right i can tell when Ryouma Ebata does Sakuga since he has noticeable work in all the H3Z shows , always liked how much weight and sway is showcased in it good stuff!. |
 |
| "How Strange. Your spell isn't working, Father. It won't take away the pain in my heart". Another great episode, with nice BMG, fight and feels. |
| Holy the action in this episode and the BGM is really amazing! Nice one~ |
 |
| Well that explains where Chise came from. People were asking that last episode haha. Was a decent introduction, fitting of a ninja, for her intro to be an episode that is spectacle exactly like a samurai film. This series has been doing an amazing job of building upon itself and really sticking true to it's themes, especially with that first episode being a sort of typical-looking science-gone-wrong plot. I much more appreciate the character growth and various troubles they end up involved in, while well keeping the victorian special-agent atmosphere. That was a very good fight, and clearly trying replicate what Sword of the Stranger did, and quite a decent job. Some people may not have noticed how the episode order is alinear, and that could be impacting how they feel about the series. It's been a long while since an anime has done this. Looking forward to rewatching it in chronological order when it's finished. |

| We wanted a Chise episode, and we got it. Now we see how the Japanese fit into the story and Chise's reason for being part of the Pigeons. LOL at Chise bringing out the English-Japanese Dictionary when she heard the word "Buddy". I'm actually glad that they put that there to show that she's not completely versed in English and to remind us that we're in London. Yes I know everyone talks in Japanese, but that little scene still shows that there's a bit of a language barrier between the Japanese and English. And the buddy-buddy talk with Ange and Chise was great. Chise actually took the Black Lizard Planet literally, which surprised Ange. Glad to see that this anime likes to have some fun now and then. Beatrice has to be thankful once again for having that mechanical neck. Jubei would have cut that neck right off. And an excellent swordfight indeed. No speaking during the fight except scenes to show what is happening elsewhere. The animation could have been a little bit better, but the choreography was stellar. You also have to give credit to Ange with her C-Ball and flying and shooting all over the place. |

Tropisch said: Either Chise or still Beatrice. It always hard to pick cute... I mean coolest character if the story is get shuffle'd.I think Chise's the coolest / best character in this anime after this episode tbh. |

Nexxkinn said: Actually, if you look carefully, several instances involve the soldier's expression changing (for the worse) as soon as the cards are swiped or deposited. Well, there are actually only a handful of sequences with each of them repeated, often multiple times, and 2 of those involve the expression changing. This episode is the main reason my I love this show. Its storybuild and preparation is as good as the first person and It also gave me kind of same impact as the first episode. I'd love to see the progress of this show next week. But seriously, what's with that Ange-Chise chitchat scene? LOL random pick-and-put card and those soldiers don't even get mad at all This was one of a handful of scenes where there was a noticeable shortcut or drop in quality - probably so they could put more emphasis on the fight scenes. |
| So this episode is like backwards since this is how they met Chise and how she joined Ange's spy team! Chise's a badass katana user! As always epic OST by Kajiura Yuki! 4/5. |
 |
| As I thought, this anime only keeps getting BETTER and BETTER after each episode. Loving the hell out of it. Now we know what makes Chice tick, and her back-story. Well done at that too. And we're shown yet again that Princess has guts, if it wasn't obvious already. |
| The gang is finally complete. |
 |
| 10/10 actual fight instead of shounen talk still frames shit. Best fight of the year so far. All other anime fights this year are nothing special, except WaSuYu ones, anyway though. Made up for the mediocre episode 4. I'm afraid they won't be topping this fight as the remaining possible enemies are most likely gun users, and sword fights > gun fights. I hope I'm wrong though. Gun fights mostly suck. Also I thought why they just didn't cut the rope but I guess at that point it no longer matters. Jubei is already on their train and killed their driver. Even without the rope the trains will still collide and Jubei still needs stopping. |

Mr "I predict everything" is here If youre the only who predicted its not If nobody else saw it coming, it's weird. I thought it was telegraphed repeatedly in advance. I was pretty sure of it roughly at the point when the bomb that cut off the train cars blew up, or slightly afterwards. |
| a lot of *CLANG*, *CLANG* and *CLANG* there |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| fucking amazing, the whole train battle kept me on the edge of my seat. This episode is driving my opinion of the show closer to "really like it". |
| Warning: Loli is loyal, and may become aggressive. |
| You know the phrase "so bad it's good"? I think this episode was really stupid, but it was done in a way that I couldn't stop laughing the whole way through. Let me clarify. I don't really have a problem with the story of the episode. How they met Chise, they kill an Assassin and it was Chise's dad. Fair enough. What made me laugh so hard was the animation the whole way through. They try to have these consistent Sakuga cuts running the whole way through the episode but none of them look natural. Whenever we get a shot of a character running, it looks like they're carrying weights or that they're trying to skip to their destination. Now imagine this kind of animation quality in a fight scene in the enclosed space of a train while at the same time switching to a fight scene outside the train with Ange flying around everywhere and giving the camera close-ups of her inner thigh once or twice (remember this is still technically an anime about high school girls), all while a badass as fuck Yuki Kajiura song is backing it up, anf you have a recipe to put me in hysterics of laughter. Seriously though, I swear I like this show and I'm definitively watching it to the end. Hell, if it keeps up this level of quality it might make comedy of the year. Only time, and where the studio throws their budget, will tell. |

Only time, and where the studio throws their budget, will tell. I'm gonna have to go out and say you're the only one thinking like this to some degree if the worse part of this was the animation for you,judging from reddit it is Ryouma Ebota's Sakuga in case you don't know a lot of his stuff looks so like the characters have weight to them like they should ,the only really goofy looking walk was the guard but i think this is the first time i've seen most of a episode having a lot of noticeable cuts from him so i bet it would be hard to keep it consistent the whole episode. to each to their own though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i would take this kind choreography over a vast amount of stills or quick cuts ,i personally find his stuff great even the swagger like walks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fk-Ratz4d4 |

| I wonder why this show isn't in chronological order. Is there a point to it? Otherwise, it seems like a strange gimmick. |
| Great episode as always. The action is always really well executed in this series. The swordfight was awesome. I kinda had a feeling that Chise's dad was the assassin, that end where she uttered that rhyme and started crying was really heartbreaking. :( |

If smallness were the only indicator for being a great assassin/warrior, then having children serve as soldiers would make a country's army invincible. |

What makes you think she's an amateur, she was obviously a very bright student and way excelled at her training. I said smallness was an advantage. I know how combat works, i'm not stupid lol. |

| Finally we get to know her. By the time she killed him, I knew he was her father. Didn't think they need to tell us since it became obvious pretty sure. Though we wouldn't of had that 'owie, owie go away' scene which was pretty darn sad. Very action-packed, really loved it, I wish the normal troops got to fight too though. It can't be understated how important the Boshin war and the situation presented here with the re-negotiation of the 'unequal treaties' and the alliance between Britain and Japan Played a HUGE in Japan's ultimate militarization and the eventual conflict in the Pacific. Nice to see a little known part of history presented. |
 |
| very very nice eps enjoyed it greatly chise's intro was very splendid to see and i wonder how many eps this series will be? |
| Yet another eye-candy and sensational episode! I'm really loving this show extremely, personally it's my favorite of the season hands down! Ange and Chise's partnership was thrilling and awesome to see. It will be sad to see Cases 3, 4, 5 and 6 without Chise because she is easily one of my favorite characters of the show. Action sequences in this episode was tensed and therefore fascinating and it didn't even take long to initiate it. Honestly, I enjoyed the swordplay the most especially the fight between Chise and her father. I knew right away that the famous assassin was Chise's father considering what his finals words were. In addition, it was depressing to see her father's healing chants didn't work when Chise help out her hand to her chest and then those tears dripping.. Easy 5/5, like always. |

| An exciting and really interesting episode as always. Hmm a diplomatic party from Japan eh. Makes sense that Princess will be the one that will welcome them but as Dorothy said also conveys the thought that the nation considers them below their notice. Hmm surprising that they added in historical events into the series. This must be the first time that Princess has seen this level of humility though. It seems this diplomat is pretty new to his role. Still the negotiation between the two countries sure is a interesting theme for this episode. So this is how Ange and the others met Chise then. Quite an entrance for her though. Meeting on top of a moving train thats pretty unique. Chise really has impressive observational skills. Bodyguards dressed as maids was a nice touch. So Chise was in fact here to take out the assassin eh. Seems this treaty isn't popular with everyone then if an assassin was hunting them. The brief battle between Ange and Chise was cool though. Partnering Chise with Ange eh this should be interesting. Princess's logic is as flawless as ever. Ange's interrogation/talk with Chise was pretty interesting though they just walked through a frozen carriage. Surprising that Chise believes in Ange's story though. Its funny to see Ange can get confused for once lol. So the duke of Normandy is looking to sabotage the treaty eh. So the duke is already wary of princess then. So Chise has a personal reason for wanting to take down Jubei then. Hmm so an accomplice was on the train eh. Separating the escorts from the target was an interesting move. Ange's gadget really comes in handy this time. Plus it allowed Chise to show off her sword skills as well too. So a race against time before the tracks merge and cause both trains to crash eh. Ange's flying and gun skills combined with Chise's blade really makes them a potent team. Nice that Chise got there in time though. Princess really is full of surprises in that she's always aware of the big picture and not cowardly enough to leave her friends and allies behind. The fight between Chise and Jubei was pretty good. Ange sure had a pretty good knowledge of the train controls though. But man that was a close one as the trains almost made it to the merge. Ah so Jubei was actually Chise's father eh. Must be pretty tough to face him this many times and finally end the battle by killing him. It is sad that the charm that Chise knew was taught by her father that she was forced to kill though. So Chise decided to join them in the school eh. Beatrice's reaction to her entrance was cute. |
