| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- More aircraft adventures and it follows a similar suit compared to the other episodes. We got to see some aerial dogfights at night and the stakes are even higher than usual. I mean, it's probably because their mission involves infilitring a stronghold. Zara took a quite a risk with her plan. |

| This was another nice episode and funny as well. Zara using her charms and her ability to hold alcohol to weaken the enemy and she even made a friend in the base. Still it seems they where not the only ones after Raiden but they managed to get it in the end which was nice. Seems the elite have enemies as well. |
| Zara too op, pls nerf. Those cliffs remind me of Ace Combat missions that required the player to stay low. And I'm glad they got the Raiden back. On a side note, I wonder who destroyed the Rohta airport. |

| Great episode. Kirie was so adorable in the beginning. <3 Zara got them assets. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I love how she outdrunk everyone and I absolutely love her catch phrase 'Let's just say I've got some experience'. XD The action sequences were awesome, loved every moment of it especially that final Raiden flight through the canyon crevices. Looking forward to more. |
 |
| Probably the best episode so far. A little bit of back story of the characters and world building and it reminds me my first thought the first time I heard this show, just 6 girls roaming from town to town looking for work with a wild wild west theme. Also they really made the sound of the Raiden powerful like its a jet aircraft. Hopefully, we don't get to see them dance anymore. |

The parts of some of the main girls that were done in 2d are much better than their 3d CG parts so why don't they stick with 2d? I would assume they do it because its cheaper to put recurring 3d characters in 3d models and one-off characters that are only seen a couple of times are in 2d because it is faster and cheaper than creating an entirely new model. |

| Whao, Zara is hot....................................... |
| Thus was a decent episode, I like that they have other tactics than just get in a plane and shoot everything. However, this is a show about planes, just like Girls and Panzer was about tanks. The show has been doing well keeping things realistic until the Raiden pulled that power climb stunt. There is no way it could do that. They were designed to swoop and attack, and had horrible climb speeds, and even worse stall speeds. |
| Lol. Well this show is pretty relaxing to watch. No mega plots, but not repetitive either. Every episode has some aerial engagements, and some other shenanigans. Nothing amazing, but definitely comfortable. Flair_Noble said: I don't get why the studio absolutely wants the 6 main girls to be done in CG while the rest of the characters are in 2d.

The air is where the animation matters more, and it's more jarring and criticized to have them constantly swap between 2d and 3d counterparts for 3d sequences.I would assume they do it because its cheaper to put recurring 3d characters in 3d models and one-off characters that are only seen a couple of times are in 2d because it is faster and cheaper than creating an entirely new model. |

| First really good episode, in my humble opinion... I really liked the ‘going under cover behind enemy lines’ aspect of it. And the air battle this time was actually engaging, with the enemy faction splitting up and turning on each other. Zara comes across as a tough lady with a passionate, artistic side. All in all, it was absolutely the best one yet. |

| Holy hell Zara has a nice body. Lucky Reona is lucky. And the scenes in the chasm reminded me of that pod racer game on the N64, so tense. The sound in those sequences was really well done, made me cringe (in a good way). Gotta say, this show is pretty underrated, I don't even give a crap about planes but I'm really enjoying every episode. |
 |
| Awesome. Looks like we did continue the story from last time. Makes me think we'll be getting into somewhat of a overarching plot. This was a nice conclusion to the whole Raiden thing anyway. We learned more about Zara and her relationship with Reona. I didn't think it would be only Zara to go undercover, but it's pretty obvious once you think about it since you could fit probably 2 people max in the Raiden and everyone else would need their own plane. The fact that it was Zara did reveal a lot about her past experiences. Those maneuvers through the tight chasms were pretty awesome. |
| That flying in the cliffs made me a little nervous. Zara is good at doing infiltration work, she could work as a spy or something similar to that. Anyway, did not expect the artist to be actually a girl - ok, I like her drawing of cute cat. ;) Did not expect the boss of the group to be a bit of a nice guy too. A happy end I guess, they got back the stolen plane + the boss and his few loyal men who remained won't be doing bad things anymore. :) |
| Better than other 3 episode because Zara is hot Still no good plot. |

That would be correct, though it doesn't explain why the cast is 3D at some points and 2D at other points, since they are even 3D while interacting with 2D characters at times.. no consistency at all. |
| The best episode yet. I liked the interactions with the artist girl. I also like the way the crew resigned their positions. That’s the way to keep the boss on his toes. |

| This show keeps getting better. Vodka AND gin? Damn, girl! No wonder you put all those guys under the table. Nice portrait of her too! Looks like we go to an actual city next week. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| I think that canyon flying was a reference/homage to Area 88. |
| the SFX in this show is really exhilarating! wow! the Raiden is much better then Hayabusa! Zara is such a ero sexy bomb girl! 5/5. |
 |
| I'm so glad the cockpits' carbon coated interior keeps the pilots from being injured. |
 |
| Still the worst anime of the season hands down, and its characters. |

| Some aerial dogfights at night and the stakes are even higher than usual. Favservice troupe just pop-out. |
 |
| This reminds me of some 80's anime for some reason. Might be the music, might be the freedom and team theme, but I'm having fun with it. |
| It is for now the best episode seen. Very beautiful air combat and choreography, however, even the rest of the story was not bad, it was quite fun and not boring. |
 |
| ... and here I was hoping for Reona to join Zara in the infiltration plan... oh well. It was kind of understandable since she needed to be in her own aircraft once the attack started. However, I must say that the opportunity they had of a random airplane with "models" landing right in front of them was a VERY convenient one. Anyways, it was a good episode, more entertaining than the previous ones for sure. We got a bit of background information for both Zara and Reona but I would have liked to know more since they're probably the only characters I'm a bit interested in. That said, I really hope the next episodes could give us more insight into their past and relationship. I'm also glad to see that the quality of the dogfights is still as good as always. The pursuit scene through the cliffs had me really tense if I'm honest. |
| Best episode yet, the sound fx are brilliant in this show. That scene with Zara out drinking the whole bar was a good laugh. |
 |
| Zara best girl, you know why ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| Now this episode improve a lot comparing with the previous one. More dogfight in a different terrain make this episode feels great. Ofc, their operation give more vibes and not bored with the same aerial combat like before. With those battles, i see more incoming battle operation, the next mostly become the city war again. Maybe. For the characterization, i had enough time with Zara. Its good to see her personality a lot. Yet, knowing her strength will must be good to see. Need to see more crew detail. Especially with that Leona. I really need to see her past. So far so good. I just hope the story improves again, passing some filler and focus more to the main story. Thats it. |
