Much like the other episodes this one was sticking closely to the original as well, with only small bits extended here and there. Plus they actually showed Kemeko’s fight with the droids in here. I really liked it and even made a new avatar for myself, but what I have to mention is the next episode preview…

Sad grunty is sad. :( I really think they did a great job with the character designs so far, but Vanilla, unfortunately, is not as hot as I’d expect after manga. Something doesn’t sit right with me here… I really hope it’s just the big next episode sign that’s bothering me, but I’m afraid it might be the character design execution… And what’s with the intense hair color? :(

On the plus side though: the new mecha, Kiriko, is voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi!!! Awesome casting there. :D Not sure on Aya Endou voicing Vanilla but we shall hear!

PS: The changes to the OP and ED animations were pretty unnecesary, especially THE eyes in the ED.
