| Wow this episode blows chunks. Even if I ignore the horrible animation at times (maybe they're on a budget, it's the story that matters), that whole 'secretly I'm evil because racism' twist was just dumb and stupid and also dumb. |
 |
| Man the animation was really bad at times during this episode. I guess that's to be expected from Studio Millepensee. |
 |
| Some pretty interesting things happened, I'm liking how the show keeps scaling it up each episode, the twist with the Chief was kind of random but fuck it right lmao |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| good episode, but who the hell was in charge of the animation for this episode?? |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| Yes animation sucked this episode. Also the reason behind the terrorism is really funny. Chief doesn't want no sticking aliens to replace the human race, which is funny because he called the MC racist in episode 1. |
| I was like ok, not bad, fine, and when they start fighting.. why..!?? what is this!?? what have I watched!?? they didn't even bother to shake the picture to fake animation I can't stand watching the fight scene so I just switch the page and pretend I'm listening a drama. |
| So far I'm really liking this anime. In this episode you can see that they have lowered the quality of animation but it was still very entertaining. Tilarna fascinates me, at times is childish and capricious but always acts very mature when the situation requires it. I'm liking how the relationship between the two is progressing. |

Chimerared said: This show is like reading/watching the bullet points of an actual story. Pretty much this. It felt like placeholder sound and animation. We had some blunders in ep 2 already (like when the guy slides down the fire stairs and there are sparks everywhere but there is zero audio for that), but this episode was atrocious. At some parts of the fight they showed what they wanted to do with some flashy swordplay, just to run out of time/animators and finish with still images. The direction was so bad it felt like they were working of bullet points to create the scenes and without anything to connect these it not only felt rushed in production, but also rushed in terms of the story itself. I still like the show, but I fear that this is not a one off episode but it will stay this way or get even worse and if my fear comes true I would be very close to drop my favorite show this season. The biggest negative of episode 1 was some technical blunders (including the iron couch). Episode 2 confirmed that with some missing sounds and incomplete animation replaced be still images (and the returning iron couch). Episode 3 made the problems in episode 2 the norm and also failed to connect the story steps. Really sad to see this go the way of Märchen Mädchen. |

| Very good episode.I was a bit disappointed by first two but this is ok. The chief of police is correct in what he says. His means on the other hand are awful. You know what they say: road to hell is paved with good intentions. He is right about the fairies being an invading force simply by the fact that they outlive humans by a lot and unlike elves in witcher they do seem to reproduce plenty at least those that came to earth. So he is correct in 3 generations there will be only semanians and half breeds on earth if things continue. Humans will be like animals in the zoo or like indians in reservations. There are other solutions though like having them wear something to not allow them to use magic. But consider that a little girl with a sword could kill a dozen men with guns and you will realize that the earth has been conquered by them and that the UN and the fairies just agreed to do it gradually. Personally I would have went with an airborne disease to affect just semanians. Would solve the problem by limiting the amount that can survive on earth. |
| Dirty cop, and yeah there it was... chief itself! |

| The fight animation was meh in this epi. I just hope they ruin it now. |
 |
| Great episode Don't care that much about animation. It looks ok. I did notice some bad drawing, but it did not bother me that much |
| Many others have eloquently expressed my gripes with this episode and how they could be concerning for the show moving forward even beyond the mediocre animation and at times rough art. The cliche 'police boss being in on the crime' plot point (I personally didn't see it coming until Kei asked him "Why are you here?" The memories of this being done before immediately all came flooding into my head lol), a throwaway mention of a war in the past that will undoubtedly be dragged back up later (why the hell did Kei ask her if Zelada is dangerous in that elevator at the end of the episode AFTER he remembered that dude wiped out his team in said war? Huh?), and the kind of pacing that allows for two seemingly significant characters to get taken out less than 10 minutes apart all raise red flags. Plus the Chief's motivation was stupid as hell. I'm also preemptively rolling my eyes at the magic properties that Kei's gun is about to have. I'll give it one more episode because I do truly want to like this. |

| the weakness of this show is the animation and pacing.. even tho I like the story |
| Tilarna is brave....everyone wanted to lewd her lmao. The way Elbaji had the camera on him after he supposedly "died" tells me he might not have died actually lol. The police chief dude being a traitor was a pretty solid twist, I legit didn't see that coming. (or I just haven't seen enough cop movies to predict it) He was put down fast at least. That Zelada plot really came out of nowhere. Although I thought that the whole series would be about finding that one fairy but they found it already lol. |
| The American dream is what everyone wants for themselves. Out of the 3 episodes so far, this is the weakest, animation and story-wise. The animation took a serious hit probably due to mismanagement on how to take series from the start, as in great animation from Episode 1 to bare-bones this episode. Hopefully this isn't the case. Story-wise, continuing from the illegal fairy situation, the Chief being the messenger is 2nd nature, nothing to be shocked of, and lacks the punch of the 1st 2 episodes, even if set-up means. The young villain is a one-shot character, really? Hopefully things can pick up pace soon. |
 |
| Man the episode felt completely rushed. The animation was terrible, art was, poor choreography, still shots yadda yadda. This episode alone made me fearful of what's to come. Story continues to be interesting tho it felt rushed here but dang this was not on the level of the first 2 episodes at all. |

| Tilarna was an idiot for going after Dennis without help. Well Matoba made it in time. Also I don't think Dennis is dead yet. And the chief was betraying them all along huh. |
 |
| Man, Tilarna is so cute |
| Jesus man that animation sucked |
 |
| To manga readers - did the still shots look like the corresponding panels in the manga? |
| I like the show, plot is fine but holly shit, this episode was a disaster when it comes to animation and models. It was a slideshow with such horrid low quality. Not only there was little to no movement, models and backgrounds looked like they were in the lowest resolution possible to make. It's awful to see a decent story ruined by an incompetent studio. For fucks sake, it looks so bad it can actually cause physical pain... I wonder if I'll even watch the next episode, one week might not be enough to get over this piece of shit experience. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| hopefully the plot (which is good so far) can carry the show show, cause the animation won't |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Even tho this episode is a bit underwhelmed (and felt rushed) compared to ep 1 & 2, this series is surprisingly fun. Til is an absolute cutie. Really looking forward for upcoming episodes. |
| what the hell happened with the direction this week ? the use of still shots made no sense whatsoever, i've never really seen them used in such an abrupt way that brutally breaks the fluidity of scenes |
 |
| Very entertaining episode until the last 7/8 minutes. I don't know... the plot-twist of Roth being a traitor all along (and a rather cliche one, by the way) and Kei knowing Zelada from beforehand felt out of place and rushed. Such a shame since I really liked how the pacing was being handled during the first two episodes. The animation and some frames looked quite poor as well but as many others have said, I hope this drop in quality is just a one episode thing. Anyways, I guess this mini arc will conclude in the next episode. That said, I just hope it ends in a satisfactory note. |
| Not a bad episode but why rush so much? If this show pulls a Knight & Magic I'd be pretty pissed because I love it so far. |
 |
| Terrible and rushed episode but still better than anything from OPM Season 2. If the next episode is equally crap then definitely dropping it. |
| The show went from "promising" to "garbage truck on fire" in one episode! Production, pacing, scene composition, everything went down the shitter. If the next episode won't come back to form, than it's a solid drop. |
| The captain really stayed behind to get himself kill, he should've left with the guy in red dress. SMH |
 |
I didn't even realize that while I was watching it. Damn |
|
| Hallelujah brother. Kenny understands. Anyway, this episode got hit hard. Couldn't really tell what was even going on during the fights, and the pacing felt off, and suddenly there's backstory... just felt off, hope next episode is an improvement over this. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Wow, the quality drop for this episode is pretty severe. I'd honestly like to know what happened here. The first 2 episode were fine and were building things up nicely. Did the studio find out they had less episodes and/or budget to work with than they originally thought or something? Really hope it's just a one time thing but I'm not gonna hold my breath on that. |
| everything else was fine except the animation of the fights |
 |
| Lololol. It's amazing how the quality of this show tanked after just 2 episodes. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Is everything okay with episode threes this season? First Maou-sama Retry, and now this. This episode was horrible. Almost felt like a completely different show. |
| Yeah the animations this episode kinda hurts my brain a little bit. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
my man just floatin above the rock nd shit  this episode has made me lose a little hope in this series, the animation was awful, and the fights were bad. Also, I felt like the voice acting was worse than usual too, unless it's been bad the whole time and I've only just noticed it. Also didn't need the cliche of the head cop working with the bad guys, it was just disappointing as a whole. I hope episode 4 can redeem this in someway. Not gonna drop it though, I hardly drop shows. I just hope it can get better. |
| What a lovely slideshow. |
 |
| Wow this episode single-handedly undid everything the show had going for it. I haven't seen animation this bad since Gangsta literally ran out of money. |
