Koko was even more gloriously nuts in this episode than before.

I loved her solution to dealing with the soldiers at the end.

And it turns out Valmet isn't her only lesbian admirer.

...so Koko is Takei Hisa gone really, really bad.

Jonah is going to grow up and ORE WA GUNDAMU DA

And Valmet is...super gay for Koko.

Also the plot made no goddamn sense. But so what?

[Fencedude]

Something about Koko seems to attacked crazy lesbians. This is good.

Uhh...I still think the plot, such as it is, doesn't make much sense.

Meant to mention this before, but I was expecting MELL for the OP, but got Kawada Mami, so I was close.

Chinatsu & Orchestra... that is one unusual partnership.
Jonah home schooling sessions were LOL
It probably felt like torture to him as well as totally unnecessary, so he ditched LOL
Good thing Jonah has a need to be Koko's bodyguard 'cause she really is fearless.
Sometimes too fearless for her own good.
Those assassins were really persistent, but starting a private war in the middle of town is just not a good idea no matter how you look at it.

I wonder how long Orchestra will evade death. It doesn't seem like they can continue to be the main antagonists for even the rest of the first cour, with just the two of them, only one of them an original member of Orchestra, against Koko and all her men. Anyway, their role only just started here, so it was plenty of fun for this episode at least.

Velmet gets to go on a date with Koko!

I love Chinatsu. Best character in the cast after Koko. Too bad she has a date with death next time. I was surprised she even survived the episode, I was expecting both of them to get a bullet in the head before the episode was over.

The chase and shootout were really good.
The blond Scarecrow guy was totally annoying.
Hope Jonah and Koko get him for being a total jerk.
I have a feeling we'll see that guy again.
Koko really is treating Jonah as a younger brother sometimes ^^
Chinatsu came for her revenge, but instead got a heart to heart with Koko and two bullets for acting against all odds.

The problem I have with these shootouts is the range. At something like 30 ft maybe and their rate of fire they should have been swiss cheese. Handguns yeah but assault rifles? The 50 cal should have torn them to shreds (unless the car was armored).

I thought Koko was going to offer Chinatsu a job at one point.

I'm surprised the writers killed them off. I wonder how large the Orchestra organization is? They're less assassins than pure psychopaths. They just gun everyone down to get their targets. Not very professional IMO. Koko's crew, on the other hand, are pros.

Koko's sense of her own mortality was chilling in a way. Her statistics on guns (if true and I'm assuming they are) was something I wasn't aware of. Interesting.

[HitokiriShadow]

I'm not sure how most of Koko's men survived that. Everyone in that care should have been riddled with holes. It's been well established by this point that the show is not concerned with being realistic, but it would be nice if it wouldn't abuse suspension of belief quite that horribly.

It seems the group has some sort of rule regarding killing women and/or non-adults, though Chinatsu seems a bit too old for age to be a big problem for them.

I figured Chinatsu wasn't going to survive the episode but I had hope for a moment that she might.

At the end of this episode, its zero. Last episode established that the crazy guy was the last one, other than his protege that they didn't know about yet. Everyone else in the group was already dead.
