| About time Sylvia makes a proper appearance in the show, aka Handler. Anya got taken again by strangers but it's cool to see Yor coming for the save like a complete a badass. Good to see some other new faces being introduced from Anya's school including Damian and Becky. I love Anya and Damian's interactions already, especially with Anya's smirk face. Comedy gold material. |
 |
| Another great episode. Today, Loid was on his mission and he had no time so, Anya had to go with mum Yoru. And, as expected, Yoru is very protective of her cuz she wants to fill the role of a mother in Anya's life. Little Anya in her cute school dress. :3 Glad that Yoru didn't kill them. And, now Anya's going to learn self-defense from Mumma Yoru. We also got to meet Damian and Becky in this episode. Becky is voiced by Emiri Kato who voiced Saikawa in Dragon maid and is a perfect choice for Becky. Loved it. And, the iconic Anya faces were perfect as well. LOL. And that punch was beautiful. Really enjoyed this episode as well. |
 |
| Loid really receives those secret instructions in some of the wildest ways possible lol. Though now with Anya passing the entrance examination, time to move on to the second stage of operation Strix, and I can already see it being much more engaging than everything we got till now. Anya again made an impression though, with that spectacular smug. Got herself a friend too, but again did something not-so-helpful to the mission. |
| Anya got her school uniform measured by the lady. Lady is speaking the truth about the reality of going to a prestigious private school when first hand going to a rural school: that is discrimination and self-worth shenanigans, well it’s going to be tough for Anya along with the head with her barely passing grade and from outlook, she doesn’t wanna go to Eden :( Handler made a little bit of an appearance and she’s complaining about Loid renting a whole castle LOL. Also one of the latest times in anime where they’re enrolling their child in a school having “Year 13” which exists in many countries: England, New Zealand, etc, it could mean either a final year for compulsory education or alternatively a year of post-compulsory education. There are a few implications to a so-called “IB curriculum” (or well can imply to any curriculums out there) in this episode like earning merit points, awards if you get the highest grade, social skills, and activities, etc. Pretty interesting stuff said here, to say the least lol. Mama Yor wants to work on becoming a better mother! Gangbare Yor! Anyways ouch Anya almost got kidnapped by a group of gangsters but Mama Yor kicked them <3 Damn the groceries are splattered everywhere and in the end, Mama training with Anya was so adorable, definitely for the sake of self-defense. Loid definitely wants Anya to get along with Damian because this Desmond dude makes direct contact as his main target. Becky and Anya will definitely get along with each other because they truly have the BESTIE POWER!!! Anya “Heh”  |

| What an amazing surprise for today, I thought Anya was 100 cm, turned out to be only 99.5 cm, lol. So, does the tailor want to say that parental inequality affects children at school? It seems that it causes discrimination and bullying among children. Ma, Anya still wanted to go to school and was looking forward to the new uniform. The recommended pork stir fry of the day with pork porcini sauce and fries. Is the sauce in the form of a password, and for some reason this photo machine is really cool with an elevator in it, lol....As expected of a spy anime. The photo machine is an elevator, a doorway to a secret base, a true work of espionage. Uwooo shiruvi, she's so sexy really likee Megane... Shiruvi and Lloyd's discussion was about Anya. Anya-chan has to get 8 Stella's and become an Imperial Scholar while avoiding Tonito. It's a good setup to make school life more exciting... Uwoooo Anya school uniform? Okay I've been waiting for 6 weeks for Anya. Yor is strong enough to fight the kidnapper who held Anya hostage. The school's opening ceremony has started, there are 228 students who pass the selection and enter the academy, Anya is one of them. Okay operation starto Target Donovan Desmond's second son, Damian. The plan are : 1. Become friends in the same class 2. Invited to play at home with parents 3. Direct contact with the target. What an simple Strategy Okay the last are Anya school life, this seem boring so yeah, skippp  |

| Loved seeing angry Yor come out when those thugs tried kidnapping Anya. need her to punch me like that tbh. Now that Anya is starting school, we finally get to see classmates like Becky and Damian. Anya's troll face and THE PUNCH 💀💀💀 poor Loid, this mission is gonna give him a heart attack. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Yes, I've been waiting for that smirky smile to be adapted. It's so spot-on! And that "Mama usotsuki" remark, xD. Anya's making an absolute mess of the "mission" already. All that training came into handy right from the get-go in the wrong places. At least she managed to cover it up somewhat to lighten the punishment, credits to her for listening carefully before. Yor-san striving to be a good mother is lovely to see, and that declaration to clear up the misunderstanding was admirable! |

| Just look at Yor already beginning train Anya. She's already started using it at school even. Indeed, Yor best mom. Anya has already begun earning Tonitrus bolts in the first day itself. Truly elegant, if I say so myself. |

| Great episode, love Anya punch and "Heh". |
| Heh :) After seeing that punch, all I can say is that Yor trained Anya really well in such a short time. So much for Loid's buddy plan. This was again a good episode!! |
| Great episode once again.Handler makes her appearance and i really liked her portrayal in this episode. Yor trains Anya in self defence.She is pretty cute as a mother.Anya makes friendship with Becky but hits Damian, Donovan's second son. Onto the next week. |
 |
| These little kids are funny. I'm dying from Anya's facial expressions lol. They are the best. |
| Mama lies smiling doesn't help at all lol 5/5  |
| Another ELEGANTOO EPISODE!! Anya "heh" face Meme gonna be everywhere from now on. Anya Punching that Shitty Kid Damian was Very ELEGANTOOO!!! |
 |
| Anya's punch is so elegant, I really like it |
“Life is never boring, but some people choose to be bored.” — Wayne Dyer |
| Sylvia finally got her proper intro. She really looks like a mother scolding her son for making lots of expenses. （＊＾Ｕ＾）人（≧Ｖ≦＊）/ Can't wait for more of her scenes later. They nailed it, the Heh expression and the punch scene ヾ(＠⌒▽⌒＠)ﾉ Yor teaching Anya self defense gone wrong xD A tonitrus bolt on the first day. Their picture take, lmao. (〃^∇^)ﾉ |
 |
| Yo I haven't even watched this episode, and I can't escape Anya's notorious smile in the YT thumbnails. |
 |
| Yor was so awesome rescuing Anya from that gang and Anya's smug face and punch was just perfect |
| Handler beautiful as always. Show, don't just tell about kidnapping. For the most Becky having a sharp tongue, she is a cool kid. First powerful Anya's friend. Anya know the street rules, be attentive for authority in the vicinity. Anya is fairly strong to send someone taller than her flying. Truly elegant. |
 |
| AHH the blessed meme that is Anya's smirk, now adapted into anime in its full-on comedic glamour. Getting Anya all dressed up for school at the prestigious Eden College, it's not surprising to hear of nobility and discrimination against commoners. But Operation Strix is still ongoing in hidden sight, and Loid's got a new mission briefing, leaving Yor to settle Anya into school. And this is where Sylvia Sherwood a.k.a Handler makes her debut to brief Loid on Operation Strix's 2nd Phase: Eden College and its workings, from normal school to the honorable Imperial Scholars for students with elite merits: "Stella" or on the opposite end "Tonitrus Bolts", any 8 of these would promote or expel the student respectively. As for Yor, being a pretend family shouldn't garner feelings, but for Anya it felt like a need, and it caught within the eyes of some gangsters looking for a kidnapping. But not to worry, Yor is here to the rescue, and she exerts some hell of a mother figure, DAMN MOM, Yor is Best Mom. The entrance ceremony where Anya would be enrolled into the Cecile Hall with Desmond's older son Damian, this is the Friendship Scheme that's fulled with classmates of high-standing figures with Mr. Elegant Henderson as the homeroom teacher. Even when Anya's beaten down, her classic smug smirk makes all the difference for her cockiness to embarrass Damian, but what a punch tho that's learned from Yor. Hitting a setback with Anya earning 1 Tonitrus Bolt, Loid's plan is slowly crumbling...there's more troubles to come. |
 |
| Those guys pick the wrong daughter to kidnap (or at least attempt to). Yor just bare hand pierce trough that watermelon. That was impressive and scary at the same time. |
 |
| Loved the Yor and Anya scenes, really like how she genuinely wants to be a mother to Anya. Anya certainly had quite the colorful start to her school career, potentially sabotaging both of Loid’s plans in a matter of minutes but she did the right thing. xD Loid’s gonna have to work extra hard if he wants this mission to even have a remote chance of succeeding. That smug Anya face and calling Yor a liar was just pure gold. |
 |
| Really good episode this week with a new charatcer being introduced as Loid's Handler, she's a funny character so far and it looks like Anya's on the case and the punch she gave Damian was hilarious, Mama's girl she is most definitely lmao can't wait for next week to come already honestly. |
 |
| Amazing episode! From Yor saving anya to the appearance of Damian was all very fun especially smug face anya which all fans were waiting for |
 |
| Episode was pure gold! great Yor development. Hayami really did her angry scene justice. Fantastic scene. I got chills when she screamed "I am that Girls mother!" I really enjoy her taking that role. Anya had me crying with that grin this episode. Damian va is very good as well. 10/10 episode AGAIN |

| I don't really understand the huge score and hype of this anime. Sure, it got amazing fight animations and cute Anya moments. But then again, fans are hyping on this latest Wit Studio anime way too much. It's just too good, but not really a masterpiece. |
| So Loid has to support Anya until she's honours level? Boy that's gonna take a lot of time and effort. This means the story's gonna be pretty long too. But from what I read the anime's probably gonna catch up to the manga by the time its 2nd cour ends. So the mangaka needs to keep churning out chapters. I have no problem with that as long as the story is good. Great episode. Loved how Yor lashed out at those wannabe kidnappers. And also loved Anya's reactions with her classmates. |
| She did the face thing! Lmaooo I was not expecting anya to be packing a punch like that, holy shit. She did put up with the bullying all episode, as my high school football coach would say “what do you do to a bully? You hit em in the mf mouth”. Well done Anya. As usual, carried the episode. Love that they got Kaida Yuuko to voice the handler too, one of the best female seiyuus. Can’t wait for next week! |

| OMG, giving Becky the same VA as Saikawa is meta and brilliant on a whole new level. |
| Loid: punches table Henderson: punches Swan Anya: punches Damian I'm seeing a pattern here Watch anya become the only imperial scholar with 8 stellars and 7 bolts  Snape?? |
ramenystMay 18, 2022 2:36 PM
| To see how anya learn from yor how she self defense and punch someone, this punch to Damian was so nice and her face expression with that smile. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Ah yes the infamous wall that divides the alum and the non alum thats present in most schools. A photobooth thats actually a secret entrance how crafty. The expenses for Operation Save Anya must had been astronomical. Hmm so Eden college's sort of like a all in one package deal. Damm Yor's saving of Anya was such a badass moment. Loid's plan sure ended up filling Anya's class with a ton of celebs. The effect of Anya's smirk on Damian really was entertaining. Damian really deserved that punch but its unfortunate that a teacher was nearby. Overall an excellent ep that did well to expand upon Yor's insecurities as well as allow her and Anya to bond in earnest. Damien while annoying on first entry looks like he might gradually change as he interacts with Anya but man her first day at Eden sure was one hell of a bad start. |

| Best episode so far we finally got Anya killer smirk and Anya killer punch |
 |
| Best episode so far imo, I was laughing a lot. That facial expression and the punch lol xD Damian introduced, I'm curious how will he impact the story since manga readers seem to like him a lot. |
