Ah, the guilt of Nerula's death. Poor Nagomi...

More gun shootouts this episode...seriously though, it seems this anime loves to solve problems through violence. Gotta admire Nagomi for standing her ground even after all the drama that happened in these recent episodes. Quite a bloody ending for Zoya. Manami

Ninja cafe, that's interesting. This is the starting point for Nagomi to reform the maid industry in Akihabara.
Kedamono Group vs Tontokoton next?

I think you mean Manami.

Nagomi decided to be a maid that Nerula would be proud of. And it looks like Creatureland group might be cutting their ties with Oinky Doink cafe by taking them out.

Decent, that was one interesting battle, the creature land group now has complete control over Akiba, and a new problem is approaching our Mcs and Nagomi got a good development.
I give it 5/10.

Finally Nagomi had her moment to shine. Creatureland should be thanking Oinky Doink, they've been taking out the competition here.

I was kinda worried for a second, that Nogomi's development will be similar to that of Swindler from Akudama Drive and will present her downfall into villainy due to corrupting environment she found herself in.
Thankfully, she rejects violence despita being already set on Ranko's path and it seems. It seems she aims to make a change in Akibahara and get rid of it's violent ways.
I also like how Piggies were aiming for the legs and I don't think they killed anyone.

Past the midway point our heroine is off stray after a loss. I feel like we see this particularly often in P.A's cute girls in a working environment shows.

But this show is extra campy, so Nagomi returned in the hour of need as a ninja. Don't let yourself fool from her appearance, she's a real maid at heart. Those of us who hoped she would change violently probably ended up disappointed.

Tenchou's attempt to take a hostage was answered with a bang, lol. Keep failing queen.

Manami died in crimson. RIP.

Even though I'm still a bit on the fence on how Nagomi got her whole ninja skills in one week, it's a flaw I can ignore given how ridiculous the whole setting has always been.

I sill love Nagomi's fortitude after such a traumatic event on losing Nerula. The way she lectures Manami with the "Moe Moe Kyun" mantra does befit her role as a maid that doesn't want any more bloodshed.

Given that the few ones that survived ran away, I'm expecting them to comeback for the finale. But I'm also expecting a double cross on behalf of the now ruling Beastorian and also close the open business on Ranko's backstory.

The alleged victim: Nerula, losing her life in the hands of the Crimson Supernova Manami, and Maidalien is not backing down on this war. Really though, this should've been enough to put Nagomi out of commission...and for the time being, disguising herself as a ninja maid when Ranko temporarily takes over her duties, her cover's easily blown, and knowing the full extent of the emotional damage, running away is not an option anymore.

It's not just Nagomi suffering Nerula's death, but other Maidalien customers who also has Nerula as their favourite, keeping a picture of Nerula as a souvenir of remembrance. Even the ramen joint's uncle has witnessed many scenes in his lifetime, though not one in such a case like Nerula's.

The extra-terrestrial war between Creatureland's Oinky Doink Cafe and Maidalien led by Manami, it's an all-out war fill with stealth, gun and their gunshots, and no hostages. The unlikely backup being Nagomi, she's fully embracing the Akihabara maid's lifestyle...of killings. Honestly, the current head Ugaki doesn't want war but peace, and at least Maidalien's betrayal joining Creatureland makes sense of how Manami's time was so outdated.

Nagomi really had a transformation in her character development this episode, embracing love but not war, that's the calling of the Akihabara maid, not resorting to violence, but how Nerula guided her on her way to becoming the type of maid she's called to be. And pig huntin' season's over with Manami's demise, but the acquisition of Maidalien into Creatureland dissolving the former into defunct land, and Creatureland's plan to rid of Oinky Doink Cafe's people, another internal rift has just begun.

Wow to Nagomi, you really have grown up.

I did not expect Nagomi to be a ninja of all things as I was thinking she gets a gun herself and start shooting enemy maids but this is peak performance of Nagomi. She even managed to hit some of the aliens despite not killing them since the pigs are low on ammunition. I wonder if Nagomi is going to beat Cafe Lycoreco's Chisato in terms of body count in a future episode.

That firing squad of Manami is just brutal and died like a badass full of blood like Tony Montana. Nerula can now be at peace and glad her fans managed to convince Nagomi to go back on being a maid.

Sounds like the Creatureland is going to suffer the same fate as the Tojo Clan with the internal rifts between factions with Ton Tonkoton going to get caught in the crossfire with the power struggles within the creatures.

The war between Maidalien and Ton Tokoton cafe raged on, no holds barred, no hostages, no holding back, and with Nerula's demise last episode, Nagomi has gone into hiding as a ninja, but with a push from Ranko, and a few hardcore fans of Nerula, Nagomi embraced love, not violence, while backing up her fellow maids in the process. She had some good moments, for sure, but it felt way too quick to really develop her character in a more effective way. We really needed one more episode for this war to get more of an emotional impact, which we didn't. As for the fighting itself, I still feel the show is playing it safe with the amount of blood and insanity. Embrace the insanity, don't hide from it!

With the merging of Maidalien and Creatureland, there is sure to be more internal fighting, and how will Ton Tokoton be mixed up in things in the future?

Looks like Nagomi will stick with her own principles which are totally fine if this is what she believes in. But, RIP badass Minami-san. You were doing things your own way. I always feel sad for badass ladies' death.

Also, Nice one... Panda-san.

Nagomi being a ninja was rather cute, but sudden. I can't blame her for running away from what happen to Nerula in the previous episode, but I'm glad that she returned in the right time to help Oinky Doink deal with Manami's squad. The way that Nagomi unleashed her kunai at the enemy maids was impressive, as was how she sent Manami into the ground with an almightly bitchslap to her face, before standing over her to assert her dominance with the power of Moe Moe Kyun!

Also, a little shout out to Panda, who also killed off three maids. Panda continues to be someone you don't want to mess around with. XD

In the end, Manami got killed off by Ugaki and her firing squad. However, the merger plan with CreatureLand didn't go well for her and her company got swallowed up whole. Unsurprisingly, Oinky Doink STILL can't catch a break as the CreatureLand boss wants to sever ties with them. Now with Nagomi back and with her new goal in mind and a stronger backbone to reinforce that goal, I'm sure that this big corporation will regret ever messing with our favourites maids. =)

Stupid af but Nagomi finally showed a glimpse of character growth... by becoming the strongest and deadliest ninja maid this side of Akiba has ever witnessed. Now I wonder how's the training in that ninja cafe, considering it accomplished in making Nagomi throw kunais like Sasuke in less than a week.

By the way, seeing Manami becoming Swiss cheese was very pleasant to see. Looking forward to Tenchou receiving the same treatment.

Manami and the Maidalien Group is just the mid boss and it's actually Nagi and Ton Tokoton's very own group will be the end game here. The close-quarters gun fight and the use of every object you see as a weapon was very yakuza-like. That ninja bitch slap was satisfying but Okachimachi John Wick'd the shit out of those Maidaliens was the icing of the cake this episode.

You know Nerula's death didn't even matter at the end; due to the fact she barely had any development other than being a support character and not a side character; but it made Nagomi stronger regardless of the incident. Initially have to hate Nagomi in the future, but thankfully it isn't the case here; though I am not eating my words yet until the finale. (She is quite more competent as a ninja more than a gangster maid, but not unless she evolve more.)

Now that Manami is out of the picture; who is introduced as the superboss, Nagi might be the final boss Oinky Doink will face and the Big Bang war might take place within the Creatureland Group through an implosion.

I bet the Debt Collector will get annihilated soon.

Nagi thought they were dead, so the chances of an implosion within the building will be high. Perhaps a showdown will begin soon.

Even though Nerula was a side character I'm sure that Nagomi would see her all the time since they spent quite a bit of time outside handing out flyers. I'm glad that Nerula was brought up in this episode and that Nagomi settled the score (RIP Nerula). It's also nice to see that Nagomi has developed a backbone without becoming murderous.

CreatureLand should've thanked the Oinky Doink cafe by getting rid of the competition but instead they plan on removing them?! They'll pay for that choice...

Nagomi leveled up to become a ninja maid skilled at throwing those kunai thingies! Seems her hand to hand has improved also, and all this without a training montage.

Is it bad that there was more "ninja" action in this episode than in Shinobi No Ittoki so far??

If felt sorry for Manami, she didn't choose the thug maid life, the thug maid life chose her. She went out in style!
