Fucking hate smokers. They like to "Chill" but we get to breath their disgusting toxic smoke.

Loved the episode, but reading "some" of these posts made me think "some" of you don't have a proper education or took this episode way too seriously.

Whoever thinks smokers are automatically bad people due to them smoking are either really young or uneducated. I hate smoking as much as some of you and thought the episode was funny, but "some" of you need to get some fresh air. The joke on the fresh air was on purpose so laugh if you must. No? Alright then. Smoking does not make you a bad person nor does it mean you have no soul, but it does mean you don't respect others as much as you could (That only goes for people who smoke in public or around people). Smokers are still human. Deal with it.

On the flipside. People who took this episode seriously also irritate me. If you didn't find it funny fine, but seriously the episode wasn't evil nor was it even that edgy.

Like I said. I loved the episode and found nothing wrong with it, but not "some" of the opinions here both for and against the episode.

That smoker kick trap ^^ Cigarette sure pisses off Kate. Holy f*ck Kate and her bunch brought war to the whole city she's serious about smoker. We learn a little about Yasu and the General's past when they were doing some "bad" stuff. What a turn of event in the end, overall good episode.

I don't get it. Why are smokers always considered bad people? So what,if you smoke,then that means you are a bad boy? Not quite. I'm a casual smoker myself and I don't mind to light up a cig sometimes. BUT I'm not a bad person. I'm actually really nice and a lot of people like me. Sure,I poison myself for no reason at all,but whatever. It's not like I think about death,at least not yet. Yeeeeeahh...I should stop smoking right?

That was absolutely incredible, great mix of hilarity and truth. Kate snapping on smokers was one of the best things I've seen a loli do. The ending was perfect and the Yasu preview was a hoot to boot.

So much rage over this episode as expected. This wasn't trying to send a message, it was showing how an evil organization took a good message and twisted it into an evil attempt at conquest. Not to mention smokers who puff it in non-smoking areas and act like 2nd hand smoke doesn't exist just because of a fossil fuel strawman's argument are douchebags.

Welp, this episode showed that some humans (both smokers and non-smokers) can be obnoxiously intolerant and the replies I'm seeing to this MAL topic just reinforce that.

- people who are championing the "hate smokers" line, please remember that you're literally channeling the absolutist opinion of a child in the show as your own; you're not supposed to take her seriously because it's an extreme world view and doesn't consider deeper issues
- people who are criticizing this show for the heavy handed PSA, please understand that while your discomfort with the depiction of prejudice in this show (and that smokers have no soul) is valid, you're taking the opinion of a kid way too seriously
- it's freaking episode 3, why are people reacting like the show won't explore topics seriously (or alternatively, establish itself as completely ridiculous)

Everything balances out.

Onto episode 4!

This episode is the story of my life <3

Not that I have any hate on smokers or anything, but inhaling smoke is bad and smells terrible tbh.

I don't like smoker.
It does not harm just the smoker, but other people nearby as well...
Anyway let's get back to the anime...Yasu changing side toward the end...ROFL
This is funny and teach such a good lesson too, you can change the law, but not the people.
Still don't like smoker :P

Great episode. Unlike the previous episodes, this one was hilarious imo.

If i was still smoking i would probably have stopped after watching this episode. It's a great anti smoking propaganda. People should consider the people around them

It was an ok anti-smoking advertisement. I am not into blame smokers because they have a freedom to smoke but I strongly agrees that whenever they smoke, they must smoke at where non-smokers are out of their reach.

3/5

First two episodes were great but this episode is just okay, not good but not bad.

Another good episode. Kate really hates smokers. I kinda agree with her. I hate when I was standing in line and there was a guy smoking ahead ofor of me and I had to inhale his shifty smoke. Fuck smokers. They also just throw their fucking cigarettes buds everywhere.

Kate also has a pretty funny transformation. They just slides in her clothes!

What a shitty high time preference organization Zvezda is. Using mob rule to create sporadic violence that accomplishes nothing...would not conquer with/10.

Also, destroying ash trays is just going to make smokers litter even more, morons.

For the people who are saying not to take this seriously, I mean, that's obvious. But, we have the main character of the show, someone who we're expected to automatically sympathize with, espousing an extreme view. And, while not ending with a 'win' in her favor, the episode comes to a close with the 'good guys' confirming the 'soullessness' of smokers. If anyone thinks the writers don't want to get a point across here, they must be crazy.

'Y-yeah, fascism is bad, but still FUCK those smokers:' is the message I'm getting from this episode. Not exactly the most successful parody.

so they went into the war chest funds to eat out and then just left all their food uneaten to go conquer smoking.

switching cigarettes for junk food is pretty fair. you still get the right to destroy your own body but you're not gonna make the people around you sick by eating chocolate and french fries.

Itsuka's bedroom is kinda weird...
