Eh...not a fan of that OP song lol. I can't take it seriously for some reason.

Shikabane is awesome though. Some of their members are so lazy though. Oh well, at least Kate makes a somewhat flashy appearance. Ha. She has a weird food taste too. Actually, that food gave me the big chills.

The monster in this episode looked weird as hell to me.

This is a really fun show to watch. I have to say my favourite character is Yasu so far.

Knew it going to end this way, Asuta cooking for them.
And their base can change anywhere, reminds me of the Dark Guild Fairy Tail.

Nothing much happened in this episode, hopefully we get some more development next episode.

Since when were you supposed to take the OP seriously? Or the show itself, for that matter.

That doesn't stop it from being a really good show, of course; The script and scene transitions are as amazing as the first episode's.

all hail the loli-fuehrer who looks adorable when dining while sitting in her kids chair and wearing bunny slippers. Natasha is great, too.

That food scene caught me off guard, an explosion now that is a new level of bad cooking. I wonder what shenanigans they will be up to in the next episode.

I like how they interject a little menace in between the comedy, reminds us that Zve team are actually the villains.

The hideout actually can be sunk and moved underground, that was what Captain Robin sensed. Liked the "cue evil leader" entrance from the ceiling. Very SPECTRE like.

So far so good, the conquest continues.

Thoughts:
7:27 every anime seems to have a stomach growl in it

12:49 only a loli would slowly descend her chair to the dinner table from the ceiling

22:48 at least disguise the secret base

-----------
Overall:
1. Not sure why but this episode put me to sleep. Maybe it's the slow pace of the story.

2. Voice acting, graphics, music = great.

3. The characters are somewhat interesting but not memorable.

4. Hopefully the story picks up. Conquering the world doesn't seem exciting atm.

Ep2: 3/10

Another solid episode. The "otherwise useless new group member that is somehow incredible at cooking" trope is kind of annoying, but oh well. The plot thickens.

The Zvezda members all went away because of Roboko's cooking.

Poor Asuta and Kate had to eat Roboko's horrid cooking.

While the episode made me laugh, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of anything remarkable happening. The absurd, cartoonish quality is where the fun of it lies, coupled together with the great music, visuals, and VA work; it made for a great episode. Still, I had hoped for more. The first episode was magical; this one felt a little plainer.

After some analysis, though, it's clear that the second episode was meant to: introduce a lot of the characters, show us where and how Zvezda operates (or at least, how they maintain hidden), and show us how the "family" dynamic plays itself out among the characters. Also, it's a step toward having Asuta join the organization, even if he'll be the cook (which is so cliché), so that's good.

All in all, 4/5 (for not having enough Kate in the episode + the ONE recycled scene, which kind of pissed me off, for some reason), and I'm hopeful that next week's episode will deepen the plot, or actually ADVANCE the story in some way; if the action/fantasy rating is true, and the director wants to take a more comedic route, that's fine by me. At least now I know what to expect.

So that was the OP I saw at the end of the first episode. It is ok I guess and that goes for the ED as well.

So the kid can cook and he is really good at it as well.

Asuta standing up against Itsuka and her cooking. Always knew it'd end up with Asuta cooking for them.
Characters are interesting..
Komadori..
Amusing episode, but I hope there's more plot development than what was shown in this episode.

That was the best reaction to terrible cooking EVER. One bite and he saw all the horrible and disastrous things that could happen to a person as well as the history of humanity. Talk about having your life flashing before your eyes before you die LMAO!

Zvezda's secret base...with a name plate by the door.

Overall, great episode :D

Anyways, this episode was pretty damn fun! The characters of Zvezda are very likeable, the plot is interesting enough and the music isn't bad.

I'll keep watching.

It has my 5 star rating. I'm really digging the seiyuu choices they made in this show. It's only the second episode and Dva is already manning up by picking a fight with the toughest member Plamya and bringing out her cute side with his cooking, color me impressed.

while i like the show so far and the episode was funny i think its a little to early on in the show to play a plot free episode, this would have been ok for an mid-anime episode but as an ep 2 its generally a bad move

I thought the eyepatch girl was gg to be an annoying tsundere character, (like a certain pink-haired ninja from Naruto >_>) but thank god, she isn't! I thought it was cute how she wants to learn to cook better and how she asks Asuta to teach her.

And yay for Asuta bravely voicing out about the horrible dinner and subsequently whipping a wonderful dinner! I was thinking Asuta was a typical average protagonist but at least, so far, he specializes in cooking!
