Damn, it feels like the group seems dysfunctional, at least on an individual level when compared to one another. Like seriously, this episode shows that some of them sharpy contrasts with each other in terms of personalities and even skills. Their leader can be questionable too.

I'm not sure what this show's story is trying to be exactly but they are still going with the spy thriller theme. Hopefully, it gets some actual character development too.

With how they keep reminding you how dark devastated and cruel this world is ... the "assassination" attempts of our group of misfits felt like a parody of a genre lmao. And with the quality of racks this squad possess, i'm honestly surprised they haven't tried more ... unconventional methods.

Even the motivational speech before the impossible mission felt kind of out of place. But hey, at least the story is moving.

That moved a little faster than I expected, and the group is jumping into the first real mission already, as dysfunctional as they are as a team so far. It does seem like each character has their different personalities, and I hope the characters don't end up being too gimmicky. Klaus remains the most interesting character so far, and I suppose he'll prove to be a decent teacher one day. As for the presentation at hand, it doesn't feel very special, just a decent production.

The first mission begins, stealing back the bioweapon from Endy Laboratory. Something tells me it won't be a very smooth mission...

This should've been 3rd or 4th episode at the very least but no we went to the mission just like that. Skipping over trainings, skipping over.. maybe explanation what each girl's good at.

Anyways liked how it was just Lily getting flustered over Klaus's T-rex.

The best spy team fails in a mission and then they send a bunch of girls on the very same mission, something's definitely up. Is Klaus's sensei the traitor?

Honestly not explaining the reason they were picked and just rushing into the mission, that too which made the best team fail, with quoted 1month training just doesn't sound convincing.

So they went straight to the mission. I would've loved to see the girls beat Klaus at least once.

It's difficult to see them succeed in this mission after knowing the best team failed before.

I mean they're lowkey even playing the Mission Impossible theme xD so this show doesn't take itself that seriously

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The pacing in this episode was much faster after Klaus talked to the girls about the mission and his old team. I thought they would spend more time on getting him to "surrender" but instead we only saw the girls fail over and over again before going straight to the impossible mission. Even the part during the mission was way too fast paced imo only showing a few minutes gathering intel before they infiltrate the place. That makes the part where they mention that the girls are exhausted feel very dull and unbelievable.

Not really, volume 1 isn't that long to begin with, plus episode 1 already covered a lot of stuff, specially the scene with Lily's plan on the boat.

I really liked the accelerated pace of this episode. We didn't really need a training montage, right? That they skipped ahead to their first mission at the break felt correct and refreshing to me.

The timing of the intro to the ED worked very well with the dialogue, it was super groovy when it finally dropped. Good sensibilities there.  The animation's convincing and exciting, fun spy stuff. Spy bongos are classic.

This one flowed well for me. I didn't find myself bored or distracted, but entertained. Great 2nd ep!

Hmm so their first task is to defeat the master spy huh a tall order. That is if they aren't working together. Numbers alone is not gonna work. To think that someone was recording everything that they're talking about though. I see so the elite team inferno was matyred in their brave sacrifice. But it does serve to make Klaus's reason much more personal. In Klaus's absense the girls sure did well in gathering intel on his former teammates. The tension as they began their infiltration though was well done. The police check was damm scary. The party though while fun also showed well just how stressful the team is with regards to the mission. But their upcoming raid on the lab would be their first proper trial. Overall a fun ep that did well to expand upon Klaus and the girls while also thrusting them into the impossible mission for real. Though only seen briefly looks like the empire also has their own dogs as well.

Why is this Ep so rush?? I dont know about LN
but what I can see in the anime is nealy nothing. The plot is very simple (girl group doing a mission) They're just a cute FAN-SERVICE group doing a task. Then, We just know that they need to go steal a thing but what else?
- The detail? Not exactly.
- Their growth in relationship? Anime SKIP it.
Sorry but I really disappointed and confused about this show.

LOL, Impossible Mission next week! Feel the tension, will they survive? Of course they will, otherwise it'll be a pretty depressing final 9! episodes. Dumb plotting.

Also if it's the same mission why did the head honchos wait a year to try again? Shouldn't matter if they think the enemy won't crack the process of making the bio weapon, you'd want that sample back pretty sharpish either way! More dumbness.

Girls are cute, so whatever, I'll keep watching.

Wow, this is moving fast, lol. Already on the mission? This must just be the prologue then before the main story gets started? Kind of wish we had gotten to meet each of the girls a little more, learn their personalities, what they are good at etc. before jumping into the mission, it would make me care about what happens to them here. As right now, if anything does happen to any of them, I don't have much reason to feel sad. So I'm also not really worried, even if something bad does happen.

Klaus gave the girls one month the time for him to say "I surrender" but it seemed like it didn't work, at least they got him to say "thank you". Klaus reflects back to when he was with Inferno and he was the only survivor, rip his teammates. 

The girls are going on their first real mission, this will show how good their skills are and how they put the time in to training and whatnot. The task is to steal (i think) the sample named Abyss Doll. It is heavily guarded in Galgad. 

So far the anime looks pretty interesting.

Despite the insane pacing of this episode it was still just really damn boring. The characters have got 0 development apart from Lily and Klaus, to the point where I don't even remember their names. I actually thought this was a gacha game adaptation when I first saw the PV and the girls somehow still feel that way. Not that all of them need their backstories covered before they start the impossible mission but at least give me something to remember them by other than "the chuuni loli" or "the mature one". I'm dropping this one, I can't be bothered with a show that makes me go "I'm only halfway through!?" twice in the first two episodes.

Eh, this episode felt a bit too rushed as it suddenly transitioned from the girls trying to get Klaus to surrender with about 20 days left before the impossible mission to going on the actual mission.

With 7 girls on the team I thought time would've been spent for character development but maybe we'll get that as they work on this mission and future missions (assuming none of them die). Other than Lily I don't know much about them, except I think Thea is busty.

This episode was quite rushed. They really skimmed through some stuff and jumped into Impossible Mission right away. I wish it had more character interactions before the mission. It's still enjoyable but the fast pacing is concerning.

"I want you to come. However, I'm not going to force you." - Missed opportunity to have him say this line while in the shower fully nude

A bit more promising than the first episode imo, this feels like a better hook than that was. It only has a but a fraction of the charm that something like Assassination Classroom had, and has barely any weight compared to the likes of Princess Principal, but I think it may possibly give us the minimum requirement to make it all count as light-hearted fun, at the very least. I think.

These 7 girls who seemingly belong on the centre stage are so far but the supporting cast for who feels more like the main character, their teacher Klaus. Who, obviously is quite strong as "the greatest spy in the world" or whatever his title is. However, we didn't really get to SEE him be such as of yet. The girls attack him, the screen cuts to black, and then cuts to them tied up or lying on the ground in defeat. I understand that maybe they thought it wasn't worth it to sweat the small stuff, but again I just can't help but compare it to assassination classroom where they clearly show Koro-sensei in action, dismantling every one of his students' attempt to kill him. Idk, maybe they're saving their time and resources for a really awesome fight later on. Maybe.

The whole restaurant scene felt a bit random, but I liked it- especially the kind of sweet moment where he sees them all sleeping. Sleeping despite being deep in enemy territory, because they had faith that their teacher would keep them safe. And then we get Klaus' flashback of a woman telling him to protect anyone who trusts him enough to sleep under his watch. Maybe he saw these 7 girls as an inconvenience at first, but now he tells himself that they are his responsibility.

Speaking of these 7 girls of whom I still am not familiar with any of their names, I trust that this infiltration of this factory is just preparation for the "impossible mission" and not the impossible mission itself. But still, even with the training they've received until now, are they ready? I mean they were all pretty dang clumsy in the shower room assassination attempt. Or maybe perhaps just stealing something from a factory is far easier than trying to kill the world's greatest spy. Or maybe not much thought went into it, so we should be giving it too much thought either. 

I appreciate how brisk the pace is in which we are moving, but maybe it's just a little TOO fast. Anyhow I think it has proven itself to be just good enough to avoid being dropped. I'll probably watch all 12 episodes. Probably

The girls failed making Klaus surrender and next week they are going to tackle the impossible mission even though Kalaus told them that the best spy team in the Din Republic failed. Pacing so far, not the best, I'm guessing in an episode or two we are going to see the climax or Maybe there is more to it.

This moves on a little bit fast... With such a big and odd cast, I wish they'd take more time to develop the characters. 
Also, I was pretty suprised to see that they are all apperantly 18+. Especially Annett and Sara look like 14. 

This series still has a lot of potential, I hope it won't be wasted.
