| More gun based action. This honestly feels like watching an action based game than an anime at some points. Then again, it was based off of one.. We do also get more action from the other cast members besides the main crew. One problem I do have so far is the amount of characters making it hard to follow almost everyone. Gentiane has that leadership role type though. It seems they may also be some ominous building up this episode. |
 |
| Pretty good and action-packed episode again. Our cute moe androids are fighting so hard. RIP Scarecrow. :( MP5 is so adorable. |

| This episode was much better paced than episode 1 but the action is still pretty lackluster. A shame tbh cus I want more people to get into GFL. I get that GFL doesn't have compelling story at the start but they could at least make the action interesting. The camera just focuses on the guns shooting mostly. |
| Its nice to finally see Kalina animated as well as see an original commander take to the role as well instead of being an unseen presence. Looks like they're using the original seiyuu's already assigned to the game which is nice. A commander that cares about their men is one that's always welcome on the field. Thats quite the unique way to deploy the dummies though. Even though they're dolls doesn't mean that they should be seen as disposable. Scarecrow's ego walked her right into an ambush for the so called inferior forces. Still it was a mistake to let her talk so much though. But overall this battle proved to be a good baptism of fire for the commander. On the field the enemy will not show mercy or fight fairly as per the laws of war. Overall an interesting ep that while doing well in introducing formally the commander also did well to introduce Griffin, Heliana and the T dolls as well as how different Sangvis is compared to them. Pacing this time i felt was better as well that allowed some nice expansion on the cast. |

| I don't really care all that for the military names (as such with the Azur Lane feelings, of which this feels like one), but some characters in focus would be good. Such as the case with new recruit Commander Gentiane to add to Griffin's group to fend off more of Sangvis's forces, and the T-Dolls are back in action on the battlefield, only that Gentiane takes full control of Griffin's forces and acts like a true taskforce commander to a presentable welcome from the rest. If Griffin has capable T-Dolls, then Sangvis has High-End Model Scarecrows, the unit equalizer. Still quite decent, though I'm feeling more ominous about the sequence of events going forward, especially now that Sangvis has initiated their target on M4A1. |
 |
| That was pretty bad. Good I didn't have high expectation in first place. Now I am going daily dose of game and enjoy heck of it. |
| The Scarecrow unit was cute. And Griffin could really use of Sangvis dolls durability. That's smart, having a self-destruct mechanism |
 |
| Before anyone start to bash the manga harshly for this episode, 95-99% of this episode are not in the manga! They basically just mixed the manga with the game story to create the anime lol. We might see more mixed manga x game episode in the future and I hope they can mix it decently at bare minimum. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Well, I just want to say that maybe this is the reason why the manga artist Ling (or MIHARU) decided to skip the entire tutorial part lol. Also, is it just my feeling or they might replace Genti adjutant with MP5? I'm not complaining though. As for me, this episode is not bad, but I kind of expected them to do something better. Maybe I should drop my expectation more lower? But, If they decided to adapt 1 chapter/episode (including campaign), RIP. |
| The OP and ED are really awesome, they have this cinematic feel to them, I like it. Both are bangers. Man I have no idea what is happening and why is it happening. They didn't even show us the main 4 characters this episode. People are saying it gets better later on, I really hope it does. Just kawai dolls are not enough to keep me interested in this anime at this point, 1 or 2 more episodes and then I may drop this. Also the episode felt terribly long for some reason, didn't feel like 20 minutes at all. All action was based around guns and gun action isn't very thrilling. 3/5 episode. Looking forward to next episode in the hope that its better than this one.

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
Ardi8 said: Still can't find any "dark" thing that some game players or manga readers ever told. We will only get that "dark" thing maybe near the end lol. If they go with 1 chapter/episode, medium "dark" thing in episode 7 and high medium "dark" thing in episode 8. All of the best "dark" thing can't be adapted in the limited 12 episodes slot lol. |

The better part will be adapted near the end around episode 9-12. But the best part can't be adapted in this 12 episodes slot. As for the characters, just remember the main 4 and the commander. The rest are just extra characters with limited screentime to be bothered by anime-only. |

| Even if I enjoyed last week, I will say that this week was certainly better than the last week's episode. This week felt more focused on more important characters in a more enhanced detail, but while also at the end setting up an interesting plot device, and gets the watcher hooked on the upcoming episode. Which is well done for them honestly. While the action is pretty ok for anime standards, but certainly really enjoyed this week's ep. |
| Close to being unwatchable. PPS magically swaps her firearm to UMP45 between frames which doesnt have sense plot-wise. We have a close up of mp5 firing her weapon where bolt doesnt move. Choreography of gun fighting in this ep was just girls standing in an open field and shooting. Ive been playing GFL since august 2019 and I knew that anime adaptation of non-canon doujin is doomed to fail but Jesus Christ. Game developer wasnt even supervising this shitfest.... |

| It was more interesting than the previous episode. |
| A nice episode, covering as much as i expected. The fight against Scarecrow ended too fast, she’s super weak at that time but still… At least she delivered her lines so it’s good. Granted we see many SF ringleaders in the opening, is it confirmed to be only 12 episodes? |
Ardi8 said: Still can't find any "dark" thing that some game players or manga readers ever told. All the SKK be like:  |
| Pretty good episode, it was mainly focused on Gentiane getting used to commanding the T-dolls and then earning their favor for looking after their safety in battle, which I found pretty wholesome when they all came to her personally to thank her, but then tragedy struck when one of the Sangvis robots self destructed leading to all of those T-dolls Gentiane met dying in the explosion, to which she was mortified over. Yeah it’s definitely not the best show this season, I especially noticed that the gunfights aren’t super interesting because they’re just standing in place while shooting, and during the scarecrow fight it didn’t show her taking any of the bullets despite standing still (stormtrooper aim much lol) but I am still finding this enjoyable, the plot is kinda intriguing me so far and I always liked the designs of the girls in this series, I’ll definitely be watching this to the end for things like that. |
| well at least its better than the 1st ep and that's all I have to say |
 English is my second language |
| That was awful; worse than the first episode. I already knew what to expect since it's a gacha adaptation, but they really fell apart in production. |

| Scarecrow huh? As much as the character looked cool, the rotating energy blasters reminded me of Altair  from Re: Creators. Sadly Scarecrow, didn't prove to be much of anything except being a one-shot speedbump for this anime. There's no point in continuing this series, time to drop it and move on. |
| Still love the opening. |

Alokr said: It won't surprise me if you drop it, even the mobile game is boring in the first half of the story (which sadly will be the part featured in the anime). You will also need to read a bit about the world's lore to understand what's going on, so I'll help you out with a summary of all the lore (without spoilers): G&K (griffin and kryuger) - is a private military company hired by the Russian government (in this universe instead of Federal Russia there is the "Neo-Soviet Union" but I'll refer to it as Russia for simplicity). 1. Gentiane - the Commander: In the Anime she is the newly appointed commander for the sector in which the action takes place. In the mobile game, the Commander is canonically a guy, but in the anime, we have Gentiane aka the "Shikikan" to evade any romance plot. It is worth noting that her personality is a bit different than the in-game commander's. 2. Kalina - logistics officer, she is the commander's adjutant and keeps the base running as well as, a steady supply for the t-dolls. 3. Helianthus/ Helian - Your Boss/ Gentiane's Boss. She's like a department Chief and Gentiane is her subordinate. 4. Berezovich Kryuger - Big Boss- I mean the guy who owns G&K, he is the founder. He also has ties with the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, that's why G&K deals with Sangvis Ferri problem instead of the Russian army. T-Dolls - a Doll is an android made for civilian use (that's why they are girls), like any product, they have different models, each model looks like a different girl. G&K bought a bunch of Doll models and adjusted them for military purposes (Tactical dolls/T-Dolls). They are like cheap disposable soldiers. And because they are cheap disposable soldiers they don't even have a name, so each model is given the name of a gun, to represent the weapon specialization. In short, T-Dolls are non-essential characters so don't try to remember them. The only T-Dolls that you need to remember are: M4a1 (on short M4) M4 sopmod2 (on short Soppo or Sopmod) ST AR15 (on short STAR) M16a1 (on short M16) These Dolls are the last generation of T-Dolls and they are very special, especially m4a1 (I won't go into details since I would spoil the story). They are also called "Anti-Rain team". Sangvis Ferri - They are a rouge AI force inside Russia. They are like the less powerful Terminator. the AI in control of SF has created what's called "the ringleaders". The Commander Ringleaders are: Agent Gager Intruder The Defense Ringleaders are: Dreamer Judge The Combat Ringleaders are: Executioner Hunter Destroyer Architect Ouroboros The Reconnaissance Ringleader is: Scarecrow The Special Ops Ringleaders is: Alchemist Most likely you will see most if not all of these Ringleaders in the anime if you watch it till the end. If not You have seen Agent (1st episode) and Scarecrow (2nd episode) and probably you will see pretty soon Executioner and maybe Intruder as well. Besides this, there is no character worth remembering from SF. I can be pretty intimidating for people that haven't played GFL, but here is a full list of all the T-Dolls that you might see in the show. https://gamepress.gg/girlsfrontline/t-dolls-list https://iopwiki.com/wiki/Tactical_Doll There's a lot of lore to explain/cover for this anime, also the anime covers the most boring part of the story so I encourage you to watch the game story instead (is like a visual novel, you can find it on youtube) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpZrS06BM-g&list=PLTpD-lAtY-jDOGHA0DpNeE4KRPpotoRIX&index=1 Thank you, I appreciate this, some of the things are definitely clear. I'll check out the game story sometime. For now I'm thinking of continuing the anime, if I get interested in this story and the anime gets boring I'll check out the game story then. |

Are you are talking about that manga by Ling? The manga didn't even bother with the tutorial and Scarecrow, Ling just skipped the entire chapter 1 as if that happened behind the scene and just continue with M4 pursuit by Executioner. Genti intro last episode and this entire episode doesn't exist in the manga. If you want to blame the shitty action, etc. blame it on how the anime production team decided to adapt chapter 1 instead. |
NoGoodNameRemain said: When I hear people said it was going to be dark at the time the anime was announced, I wonder the same too. Since I played the EN version until chapter 12 or so and then quit. At that point, it is your action sci-fi movie with cute girls at most. If thing really got interesting later, I doubt the anime can deliver within 12 episodes. Ah, chapter 12 huh? Did you also read the campaign? Like Cube, AW, DD, Singularity, CT, Isomer, etc.? Or only read the main chapter? |
| production staff looks cheap huh... 3/5. |
 |
| I do wish the gunfight choreography had more oomf to it, y'know? Of course there are times for rest and to slow down, but there are also times for big energy, and impact. &++ I had a feeling Scarecrow would self-destruct |
NoGoodNameRemain said: Yuvensius said: Ah, chapter 12 huh? Did you also read the campaign? Like Cube, AW, DD, Singularity, CT, Isomer, etc.? Or only read the main chapter? Up until during cube+, I just search my chat log with my cousin, I gave my account to him on Jul 2019, while cube+ were running, since I invested lot of bucks to the game so quitting was a bit .... uneasy. But he is playing genshin now so no one play that account anymore lol. Umm, then how did you know about chapter 12? EN only got chapter 12 in January 2021, even Singularity (chapter 10.5) only arrived in Nov 2019. |
| Another 3/5 episode. Also, I hate the lazy precocious genius trope. "Good" thing there's barely any show I'm following of this season. So, there is barely a reason to drop it, unless it gets much worse. OP and END are very nice, sad they are wasted in this 5/10 anime. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| This remains boring as absolute hell. The big fight at the end is Star Wars stormtroopers level of stupid. They all stand in an empty field, ten feet apart and fire haphazardly, now with no accuracy whatsoever. Then it's revealed that one was hiding eight feet away, opens fire, and instantly destroys her. That's the whole fight. Also, they had her surrounded, so were firing in a circle. So they were shooting at each other. Which apparently the show never realized. |
| It felt more like 'lets play' video. The one you watch someone else play. With all game shenanigans that have no place in good adaptation kept. Like genius tactics of standing proud in open view. Or encircling for better friendly fire. Or dolls interview via zoom in special empty rooms. |
| Alright, finally commander Komatsu, i mean, Gentiane, entering the battlefield. Commander Kalina already had a familiar voice, no wonder. Yeah, that's like a tutorial. But More cute dolls handling the old gun model, looks fun enough for me. Then, while facing such a high-levelled drone like that, its indeed the dangerous situations. Ofc lots of casualties there were inevitable, even though Gentiane able to took her down on the first and trying to interrogate her. But, high-end model seems to not just a shallow name. The newbie commander must learn a great lesson from her first actual battle. Watch out, M4, enemy incoming... |
