I actually saw this one before the first ep. It would've been an awesome start.

This episode was decent, but Sousuke really does make himself look like a pervert when he follows Chidori and tries to hide it when it is painfully obvious.

You cant really blame him lol, he has had abousletely no girl interaction before and after all he is a guy. I dont think I have heard a weirder laugh then Kana's when she started laughing after forgetting to study for a class test the next day. Even though her voice is weird I really like it ><. Awesome episode, 5/5.

It was funny that he kept on bringing guns to school and that when he follows Chidori, he says that it is a coincidence.

I liked this better than the first episode.

This episode was really dam funny in my opinion, so hopefully the following eps will be just as funny. And Sousuke is getting even more epic. He's an excellent character, and very entertaining to watch.

Wow I probably would've been A LOT more creeped out than she was if someone jumped out of a train like that just to sit next to me on a bench. But who cares right?

Yeah, I'm wondering that too. Something about some 'program' she fits into or something...KGB want her bad.

I can see strong pieces that this show is made of, but at almost every single turn it tries too hard and they don't fit together.The oh-so-wacky music is too loud, close-ups of people faces twitching aren't funny, and as if the old accidental breast touch gag wasn't enough, Chidori has to coo in arousal before getting angry.

The dialogue during the train-platform scene would function well as the small beginning of a mutual attraction but the gust of wind and cherry blossoms was so overstated it was laughable, as is the way Chidori is already very attracted to Sousuke even though he's annoying. There's no tension between an attraction to and repulsion from him, she's just bipolar.

Chidori's vocal performance in general is badly overacted, matching her facial animation. She even overplays a simple non-verbal gesture like a sigh.

I thought this was (partly) a romantic comedy but it's playing out more like a sleazy fan-service show.

Haha good episode. So far i'm really enjoying this anime. Its better than I thought, especially for a mecha anime which I usually tend to avoid. Still trying to get use to the old animation style since this show is nearly 10 years old. But with all this comedy I wonder how they'll do when it comes to the serious moments.

I hope this stops becoming a high-school love story soon and we get to see some action.

I hope this continues to be a highschool love story with more character development.
Action is boring when there's no explanation for it or background for it.

Recipe for getting girls to like you in late 90s Japan: Be weird stalker, military obsessed dude who follows the love interest around and does strange perverted things.

I'm waiting for Sagara to whip out his dick and just be like "I don't know what this is for!" and Chidori will be like "I'll show you how to use it..." and then full on hentai.

Another very quick moving episode that felt too brief. Other stuff happened behind the scenes, but the Sousuke saving Kaname from the truck scene and their later conversation on the bench were the highlights. Pretty adorable scenes the both of them, with ample shots of Kaname blushing, clearly framed in a way to show off her beauty. I'm actually not watching this on my laptop so I can't take screenshots, but several of them stood out as ones I would have taken if I were. Guess after so much Lupin and Conan screenshot taking it's become a reflex. XD Several gratuitous upskirt panty shots of Kaname too that were hard to miss. Well lingerie is in the next episode's title I guess...

The tone of this episode, it is much more comical, but the "flashes on the horizon", give the pulse of the situation in the main plot. The fun is not useless, because in the end you make some progress in the knowledge of the characters. Drawings, animations and OST, very good. Wow! There are "traces" of fanservice, what a surprise!

That was such a funny episode. A lot of funny moments where Sousuke showed that he don't really know how he should act to appeal normal :D

Kaname really must think he's a stalker or something similar. He seems so helpless often times. But I'm glad Sousuke was there to rescue here from the truck.

Seems like the KGB is also making his move. This guy from the bridge who killed the KGB guy is pretty creepy. He sticked the gum on the robot and knew that Weber was there.

Hilarious episode yet also informative.
We get to know that Kaname is considered to be a contestant for the "Whispered Experiments" and that last guy was obviously aware of the stealth mecha ... putting the gum (which probably has some tracking device in it) on it.

As for the hilarious scenes, the newspaper being super old or Sousuke keeping a straight face saying it's all a coincidence, even jumping out of a moving train to stay near Kaname :D
