Fai said: Zefyris said: I'll point out that at the end of episode 1, Beatrice completely changed her voice while on the phone , speaking with a guy's voice. She isn't simply your average servant, seems like she has interesting skills. Or is that an item she's hiding under her scarf that help do that, we see her doing something there before changing back her voice. Its also weird how when Duke's spygirl is about to search Ange and Dorothy, Princess specifically looks at Beatrice. What would she expect of her there? It's unclear if she looks at her servant or beyond her (at the two peoples that are going to be body checked, or at the woman passing near beatrice to go check on them) though. I'd say she followed with her eyes the woman passing by rather than look at beatrice. |

| another amazing episode. Dat princess was unexpected. man I really love this anime! Can't believe I forgot to watch this episode on time. Won't make that mistake ever again. It's interesting to see that's how the princess joined the spy group. Maybe a background main plot is true. This became that much more interesting. definitely can't wait for next ep! |

neonie said: So in case anyone didn't catch it. Episode 1 was "Case 13". This episode was "Case 01". This show is awesome and fascinating and I love it. No, I didn't but now I get it. I was going to mention "airing the episodes out of order", and I see that was the case all along. |

| now... how to get this piece of gem right here more views |
| Daamn, that OP. The visuals and the song were awesome! Looks like a good anime so far. |

| Interesting episode Using this episode as a means to introduce the characters properly by showing how they all met was a great move on the directors part. The revelation of Princess's ambition sure was surprising. And the manner of how all four girls met sure was unexpected. Ange's first introduction to the academy though was cute and her clumsiness only enhanced this. As operations go this plan to switch a princess with Ange sure is ambitious. Looks like the military isn't too keen on the work of the spy agency that the girls work for though. Dorothy's true age sure was surprising. Infiltrating a ball though is a classic. Hell of a time to get new orders though. Hmm so that was the direct approach eh lol. I guess its to be expected that the duke will have a bodyguard detail with him. Ange's approach to get close to princess by making friends with her was the right one though. Beatrice and Princess's attitudes actually contrast pretty well with each other. Ange's plan though sure was a smart one though thats for sure. Plus it killed two birds with one stone as Ange puts it. With Ange's skill at disguise and changing personas i think the operation really has a decent chance. Ange really is adapt a wide variety of skills though thats for sure. Watching her ferret out the info that she needs is entertaining. The challenge here is not getting the key but getting the key without being detected by Normandy's men. Wow the princess really is smart in managing to figure out Ange and Dorothy's true identities. Beatrice's reaction was cute as always. To think that princess had that ambition in her though. And that she's willing to use spies from the west to help her achieve her dream. The duke of Normandy really has that sinister look about him thats for sure. To think that they were out thought by the duke though. It was also nice seeing not just whats happening with Ange's group but also into the command group as well. The princess really likes to gamble though which is unexpected of her. Hmm the last scene sure was unexpected so the two of them know each other eh. |

| Definitely best anime for this season!! Now we got some back story before episode 1 (case 13) was happen. I know not everyone like how the prologue or introducing aspect from first episode. But with this plotting, everything become more interesting and have some kind of................ omg, im curious and going to watch the next episode!!! The Spy action and mind game was great. The main character made this series more enjoy and attractive, or maybe the most reason we enjoy the series. Really glad to wait next episode! In the other hand, im a bit nervous that this series will turn into boring because they are gonna get out of back story and character build up. |

| Story is a bit confusing, but very interesting. Wasn't expecting that from the Princess, caught me off-guard, my heart is weak "against" characters with that personality. So far so good, excited for the next episode. |
| Excuse me, but can anyone explain me all that business with blueprints. Commonwealth is the west. Kingdom is the east. Westerner FACM Morgan stole blueprints from the west and wanted to sold them to the east. Right? But why? They talk about him defecting to the east with his wife in order to live in Cornwall. Isn't Cornwall is western county? What is Morgan's problem? And why military guy in western spy council talk about potential war with northern Europe? I just don't understand what is going on. Please, help. |

Please, help. -If it's discovered the West has Blueprints of an illegal airship design, it could start a war. -It's noted when Ange is dancing with Morgan that his lungs sound bad, meaning that he doesn't have much time left to live. He doesn't have a problem with the West or the East, he just wants money so he can spend the rest of his (short) life living with his family and give them a nest egg. |
| neonie, - But military guy doesn't talk about war between two Englands, but about war with European countries or even world war. I can imagine, that commonwealth and the crown have very strict peace treaty going on. But it has been established already, that Britain is the world's dominant military power thanks to its magical air fleet. So there shouldn't be such thing, as Illegal design. Might makes right. - "I can help your wife defect to the Cornwall" says "the princess". And they never even mention money. By the way, isn't it incredibly stupid, that Morgan decided to ditch the most powerful eastern spymaster for some random princess, who, as far as he knows, have zero political influence? |
| An intriguing turn of events. So Ange and the Princess share a common past, and to such an extent. |
| SUPERB! The characters and world building are really taking off. Art, voices, story are really solid. Looking forward to next week! |

sasalx said: The twist at the end was so good. FukGoBack said: Ok guys I understand that ange and Charlotte switced places at some point in the past, but I'm confused as to why at the end Charlotte and ange are so friendly w/ one another and why they had to keep it a secret from the other two. If the real Ange wanted to become queen, wouldn't that go against and spark a red flag for real Charlotte. Why are they working together?Is real Ange manipulating them and there's nothing to be done about it? Might just be overthinking this btw, I do that a lot.🤓 From what I get in this episode they were childhood firend so probably both of them are noble. I think we will see why they switched in later episodes. I don't think any of them want to become the Queen. They just want to win the war. Also for curious people here the letter at the end: Thanks for posting the full details of the letter! neonie said: So in case anyone didn't catch it. Episode 1 was "Case 13". This episode was "Case 01". This show is awesome and fascinating and I love it. Awesome. I didn't catch that, either. Great follow-up to the first episode. This show continues to be very intriguing and the revelation at the end caught me off guard. One thing I've noticed so far is that each episode has a very strong ending. BTW, Dorothy sure is sexy. Wow. |
| That ending... Ange is the real princess? Mind blown! It didn't take me long to realize this episode was before the first one. Great, intense episode again. |
  |
| Interesting, this flashback (or rather "first case"). I wasn't expecting a game of deception relying on double agents and identity switches. Still annoyed by the need of spy kiddies but it's good to see the series trying to justify it so soon. 3.5+/5 The more I watch, the more the visual discordance between the (young and less young) female characters type of face and all the other things (male faces, objects, background) looks ugly to me. Out-of-topic: the french "simulcaster" has classified it as a seinen/shôjô hybrid, just because it features young girls. XD @CodeBlazeFate Since you liked Turn A's female case of "The Prince and the Pauper" and Code Geass' hero masterplan, you might want to check this. (though you might dislike the non-chronological approach it seems willing to take). Maybe they're using the term as in the Cold War (because of the analog situation). |
| Now that was an unexpected revelation at the end... |
 |
| I did not expect that! I was thinking Princess was damn smart, but no, Ange did a great move! |
 |
| Background ep how their group came to be was actually pretty nice. And I like how Ange and Charlotte switched their names. Still, even though the plot was pretty good they are still way too obvious as spies, too many times acting in the center of attention. They would probably be found right away. Well, anime logic but if this don't get any worse I'm willing to take some liberties. |
Oh my god this anime dos not disappoint. This scene sent shivers up my spine, it was so goood omg! I am loving this shit to no end holy hell. |

| I had to watch this twice as well. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, considering that Oukouchi Ichirou is writing this series (the guy whose main priorities are gratuitous twists and "rule of cool" moments instead of making any sense - without a hint of self awareness)... But I'm enjoying it so far. Also, I am the worst trash; I'm already shipping Action Princess with Fake Princess. I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I can't help it. Someone send help... Now I can't even look at OP without viewing them in that light. |

| This episode showed how Ange and the princess became friends, right? But what are they to each other ten years ago? So, Ange's real name is Charlotte? This episode is pretty badass. I liked it. |
     "Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out." Captain Levi, 2014 (／^-^)／☆♪  ♪☆＼(^０^＼) |
| And here I thought the Princess was cunning as hell xD |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Princess is Ange's what? O.o |
| So now is the time for explanations and presentations. Well, there may also be the fact that to do this the narrative pace must be much more peaceful, however the narrative can be intriguing thanks to the scenes seen during the whole episode and thanks again to the great charisma of Ange and Dorothy too. But the quality of the drawings has dropped quite a bit. Great ending, I really like it. |
 |
| Ah, first episode was action opening. Now it is time to head to fancy ball for some backstory and intrigue! And apparently this is the real first episode. I wonder if that previous episode is going to have very different meaning at the end of the series? |
| Interesting, I really like where this is going! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Nice to see that they jumped back in time to tell us a bit more regarding the character setting! Really lovely, a bit weird though they jumped back in time without any direct clues or started with this episode, but on the other hand this does make it a bit more interesting to mix it up! All in all a pretty solid episode, let's see what's next. |
 |
| I wasn't entirely sold on the first episode, more just curious... but now they've got me with this one. Honestly, I think they would have been better off if they had started the story here, but I get why they didn't... I just don't agree with the reasoning. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| I am quite happy with the series so far. The art is nicely done as is the ED which features each of the characters singing on it. Well done! |
 |
| So the Princess (Charlotte) is actually the original Ange and Ange is actually the original Princess Charlotte. Great episode 5/5. |
 |
| Did they look closer when they were switched? |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Nice episode again. Bunch of lovely but dangerous girls. Seems there is some greater story as well. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| This is getting a bit more interesting. The princess is certainly more sly than one would think. |
 |
| I think that I need to watch this show in chronological order cuz i'm a bit lost. So, Ange and the Princess are the same? I really liked this twist. |

| That was a good episode with some damning twists at times, especially with the very end when it came to Ange and the Princess Charlotte and their identities and relationship. The production value was a bit low in this episode, with some frames looking a bit sloppy and the CG for the dancing looking incredibly stiff, as well as even some cinematography showing the girls move with the camera panning looking rough there too. But the content was pretty exciting and quite the mindfuck if you ask me but its entertaining. The dub is still a bit weird since I can confirm in my head, the characters look way younger than how they sound, its way too posh and faked since they sound like middle aged women while they're high school age. Still appreciate the dialogue and how its presented a lot more than the Japanese version so I'll adjust mentally with it. |
| age being able to pull that princess disguise off was no coincidence? is she actually the princess or . . ? interesting |
| So, Ange is Charlotte and Charlotte is Ange. That plot twist at the end was unexpected. |

| Ah of course, when distinguishing Ange and Princess Charlotte, they're one and the same. Ange is a master spy of disguise, but Charlotte is in another ball park of her own. The first episode of its intended chronological story order, and this is a great introduction for the Principal girls spy team setting up against the Duke of Normandy. The 3D camerawork does feel jarring, but it does provide the sense of the scene shots in tandem with the focus of the characters. As is back then, I remember this episode was a lot better than the 1st episode due to its non-linear story plot, but re-watching this, I can greatly appreciate the show for what it is. |
 |
| I hope this show doesn't shoot itself in the foot, being an original and all. Ange is quite the actress, impersonating the Princess almost perfectly in mere minutes. To be expected tho as they are old acquaintances... Somehow. The Duke feels like a proper menace. He could turn out to be an adequate villain for our little spies to go against. Did you know the girls were spies? I didn't, but they reminded me. Thanks show. |
 |
| why did Ange tell Charlotte she was a spy? |
| I can't believe I missed that Ange is Charlotte and Charlotte is Ange. That one plot point where the Duke calls her by name and I nudge it off. |
