Yura's doing the complete opposite of what she did before: she's getting overzealous and too keen on winning which makes her make rash decisions and not watch her surroundings. Sonora doesn't seem all that happy about it.

It looks like this series is setting itself up to go beyond the cute-girls-with-guns genre. With ep 4's realization that Yura might have some sort of god like power(though, never mentioned in this ep) and this ep's character development with Yura taking a leap in the wrong direction... I'd like to see if they do anything with this setup.

meh-est of the episodes so far.

regarding Sono-chan, im willing t throw a guess and say that she is seeing in Yura the same attitude(s) that got her master to get KIA on the front lines, and obviously getting worried about her, and i base myself in fucking nothing to say this. :v

Karira, please marry me :3

Hey Sonora, this is just a hunch, but maybe, just maybe, if you had not pummeled Yura into the ground after surrendering, she wouldn't have felt the need to win no matter what. Also, the nightmare she had shows how she is afraid they will only be friends until she is useful. Nice team building there Miss Leader, you get an F, now sit down. How I hate you.

Anyway, I could get used to girls playing military games in bikinis that's for sure. 4/5.

Ps: Sonora said, that sometimes it can be a trap when you think instead of two enemies, there is only one, I wonder if it will come back in the next fight, or if they will leave it for the finale.

A japanese show referencing Iwo Jima? That's really cool yet unexpected:

Bikini's and guns always go well together.

Sonora is getting worried about Yura? Or is it jealousy?

No supernatural stuff? Are they going to simply ignore it, leaving ep 04 as odd one? Too bad, that was brightest point of the show.
I don't like how they're setting up the awful drama in near future. Hopefully this crap will get resolved in next episode. Yura being too confident, not paying attention to other things except for winning, forgetting that airsoft is supposed to be fun, possibly destroying something important for Sono... I really hope I'm wrong but I can't shake off this feeling of inevitable emoing over stupid stuff.
Drama kills shows like this one.

Fights were good by this anime standards and beach episodes are always nice.

Frankly I'm getting a bit disappointed but all's fair and well in a beach episode, I guess.

Gainax, where's that animation money going. Seriously, all those still frames of a beach episode is like saying "meh people just wanna clearly see our moe femcast".

Other than that? Um, first thought, getting hit with BBs on bare skin hurts like a BITCH. The lack of protection just so we could see those swimsuits in play was rather unrealistic. Battle didn't really seem too enjoyable for me past some... awfully cookie cutter strat.

As for the whole Sonora being slightly angst... umm, critique is important! Just tell her, dude. Friends are there to help each other out. Playstyle's one thing but things like awareness are another.

Dat flag. Dem bikinis.

Lol, the club members carried Yura while she was sleeping.

So, the club is against Seto Family, with Aoi Seto as their leader.
Aoi is an interesting character.

So, Yura is more on winning and doing everything herself rather than having fun.
And Sonora does not like this, no, not one bit.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Cute girls in swimsuit playing air soft seem legit, Yura should not act like that too much it could break the team work easily but nice episode i guess.

Sonora's not being pissy. She's concerned because her teammate is forgetting something important. Situational awareness is very important. Without it, you will always fall into an ambush by your enemy.

And there's a huge difference between giving it your all and failing, and giving up without trying to win.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

I think this show takes itself way too seriously. It supposed to be fun, yet there's always something bothering the atmosphere. It doesn't please my expectations.

Still a decent show but I'm not enjoying it like I enjoyed the first two episodes.

Oh boy, what cute girls series is complete without a beach episode? Yachiyo and Ren are especially cute in their swimsuits. An interesting episode, guess Yura's fantasies are back to being regular delusions for the time being. She's taking charge and being more assertive in the matches now, I wonder what Sorona thinks about it. I want to say she looks jealous, but it may be something else.

4/5

Stake less boring than the last, you put something on the stove, even if on the one hand purely subjective, I feel little involvement, you know that the issue of airsoft is taken lightly, but a little depth on technique, on the schemes and the preparation , would not hurt. Technically I like the drawings, once again, including animations. Only thing that made ​​me smile is the final event, who has quickly realized where he was going with. I do not know if I should call them from now on the girls of the flag! XD

I wanted to give it three, but with the ending, you deserve an extra point! ;)

I still don't get how they won. Yura just ran at the middle of a battle field to get the flag without getting a single hit? Or even dodging some bullets? Anime logic i guess.

Looks like Yura's really getting into it ... but becoming a bit over-confident perhaps? I bet that's what Sono is worried about. I mean especially leaving tracks like that could be bad ... well, good for her that she's really getting into the game though! Grabbing the flag too, though I kinda wonder how she did that with all the bullets flying around XD Hmm, interesting title for next episode ... ;P

Did that boar reminded any of you Botan from Clannad? Just me?

That rasing the flag like it was Iwo Jima during WWII.

I woder why Sonora had a concerned look at the end.

Fine episode.

Pretty good beach episode. Delicious BBQ and fanservice.

That flag was hilarious. xD

The battle was also nice. Great job, Yura! However, Sonora wasn't so happy about the result.
