Hehe! And now, the comedy part? LOL!

A really good thing that Kyo-Ani puts in every anime. Not just a simple-minded story. You can change mood often and always at the RIGHT times. ^^

They're supposed to be "action" scenes aren't they? Not "useless blabber and one-liners with the occasional explosion" scenes...

The mystery twist could be nice, if they do it good from here on.

Alright episode, but the chase scene explosions was too much. I understand it is supposed to be adrenaline pumping action, but there is a line that needs to be drawn in what is and isn't enough.

I enjoyed the comedy, but the comedy is always good in this series imo.

It's a good thing the static was so tough, otherwise she might've heard gunfire.

This episode was just a lot of fun. I enjoyed pretty much every second of it.

I get the feeling things are going to be changing soon, particularly with how MITHRIL deals with Chidori. I appreciated that scene with the meeting between heads of different parts of MITHRIL. The chaos following Bruno's betrayal is definitely not surprising.

Kurz and Mao are a lot of fun together. The espionage storyline was great. I love how tempted Mao was to kill the rat.

A lot of comedy here, which is good. I'm glad the series is keeping a sense of humor about itself, even as things are heating up for MITHRIL.

Fumoffu made me fall in love with Sosuke, and the hilarious car chase/talking to Chidori on the phone scene just reinforced that love. He is such a sweetheart! He really will bend over backwards to see to it that her needs are met, even when he is in a tough spot.I hope this season advances the romantic element between them a bit. That was my favorite aspect of Fumoffu.

Mao's comments toward Sosuke at the end were thought-provoking. I hadn't thought about it, but he really is over-extending himself, which perhaps might explain why he can't manipulate the Lambda Driver so far this season. If he does crack, lets just hope it doesn't happen in the middle of a battle.

I'm giving this a 5/5. This episode was a ton of fun, and it made room perfectly for comedy, character reflection, and plot development. Awesome.

This episode really exceeded my expectations. Action and gag parts were coherent. It is better than first season, but i still think fumoffu is the best.

I was actually a bit disapointed in that it wasn't the teachers car he was using for that mission XD. Imagine if he'd returned it full of bullet holes and a dead engine.

First: Holy fuck, Mao in that dress! Dead. XD Ahem, anyway...best episode of the season so far. The mission played out very nicely, the car chase looked great, and they even worked Kaname in for some humor. Guess it was too quick to claim her role was being downplayed. Curious about who was piloting that random mech. Mao was kinda hard on Sousuke at the end, but she wasn't exactly wrong or being malicious. Were it up to me Kaname would just live with him and that'd be that. XD

Oh, and the insane guy's poolside craziness while the sister's watched? Uh...no comment.

Lmao the entire phone call during the case was priceless ... and then Gates drowning the guy ...
Melissa is right though, there's a limit to how much he can do at the same time and I dont feel like Kaname really is a top priority anymore, at least the show doesn't make me feel she is.

Lol Sousuke please, just say you're on the run if you stop the car you're going to be dead

Hmm, I enjoyed this episode but agree with other posters that the car chase was a little over the top. Also, I’m fine when Souseke is shown as inexperienced and dense regarding normal everyday life situations and I think it’s an enjoyable joke, but i don’t really buy it when that same joke is applied in Mithril settings. The joke of him not telling his coworkers about the extra weapons in the back just made him seem stupid and unprofessional which is basically the opposite of his character. He’s professional to an extreme degree and overly prepared to help his teammates. Maybe if they had tied it in more with the fact that he is obviously overwhelmed I might have bought it more, but as it stood I couldn’t help feeling a little irritated that they changed his character a little. I like Souseke for the dichotomy between his military competence and his social inability, not when those separate aspects blend to just make him look poor in every situation. I am definitely thinking and caring about this too much, but I didn’t see anyone else mention it so I wanted to get it off my chest.

Sousuke is real bf material. He even has time for Chidori to talk about trivial things while in the middle of a car chase and a firefight. lol

While the phone conversation during the chase was funny, it just kinda confused me. The way Kaname was talking to Sousuke made it sound like she knows nothing about Mithril and about Sousuke being a soldier and that she just thinks he's ditching her and school randomly and for no reason. It just feels like forced comedy that honestly isn't even as funny as the show thinks it is: now, Sousuke tearing the teacher's car apart and getting chastised by Kaname was hilarious.

Important to note he has allegedly not picked up when Kaname called, but got on phone when Kyouko did!

Kaname just casually forgetting Sousuke is actually in a mercenary unit, despite having been on their submarine while it was hijacked, is a bit weird. Comedic sure but did she really forget his sifuation?

We got some desperate world building for mithril, in S1 I thought the organization was just the boat and maybe the port.

Melissa is a waifu for sure.
