----------------------------------------
My head asploded when Joker is a bad guy. I wonder if he has anything with Yomiko's disappearance.
Other than that, the school parts were quite fun with Anita. Her rival getting pwned and Michelle being ogled by the teacher were the best parts.

Finally, Anita goes to school. She looks cute in that uniform. Tbh, this is how I felt when I first went to school as well:



Too bad, she gets into a fight already (verbal) with some kid Tohru in class. Well, she's getting a long well and doing quite well at school. Those scenes at the book club was pretty cool tbh.

School is fun. Getting almost killed in the first day and all.

I wonder if that long haired kid is actually bad or good, with him sitting alongside that blonde man... Well let's see what's next!

I'm so glad Anita is popular already, I was worried this might be a bullying/fish out of water scenario. The plot in the back continues to build up and this show is still just a pleasure to watch.

Doing silly comedy with the school kids and then suddenly transitioning to gunfire and bloodshed was appropriately shocking, and the understated action that followed was great; proves that this series can do a good action scene without the lavish animation and staging seen in episode 1 that's surely too expensive to keep up.

I especially liked the attention paid to Anita's balance and momentum in this sequence. It took her movements quite seriously instead of using inertia-free anime-style zipping around.

That girl tried to kill Anita, and she's working for Joker! What's going on here?

As amusing as it was to see Anita spike that volleyball into that girl's face, I'm not sure what we're doing with this random middle school episode. What happened to all the nonstop action of Read or Die?

Looks like I assumed a little soon as Anita ended up in a duel in the library for the first book. Seems like the secret spy stuff is going to start sooner than later.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"
