Yuuki says it's worth 8 rin. The conversion is as follows: 1 yen = 100 sen = 1000 rin. Considering the value of the yen against the US dollar, the rin is practically worthless. When Yuuki says "it's so large, yet not even worth one sen", he's commenting on the uselessness of the war college. This particular episode was better than most, but the show as a whole has been pretty underwhelming. The heart of a spy thriller lies in the balance of espionage/counter-espionage efforts. When literally every person in D-Agency is a spy with borderline superhuman abilities and infallible plans, it removes all the tension from the story. The show just ends up being a collection of vignettes from various locations around the world. And that's fine I guess, but this show could've been so much better... | ||

Omg... In the middle of the episode after this guy didn't kiss Chihiro I thought the characters couldn't become any more stupid. Then, a wild Miyako appeared. -.-' If this was a good show, it would now go on with professional help because Miyako is mentally ill beyond the point where a normal teenage boy could help her. Judging by how the show goes though, it won't take that route and it's going to be stupid considering the circumstances. //lol, after the ED, that sportsgirl just deleted all the messages! xD /o\ -.-' //+ Show Spoiler [ep8] + Rofl, Kei is the worst. First she is absolutely terrible to Miyako and then she turns away from Hiro just because he does what he wants and that's not what she wants him to do. This series man. There wasn't a best girl award to be given out but it was hard to decide which girl was less worse - up until now that is. Kei easily worst girl. | ||

Easily one of the best anime scenes imo: + Show Spoiler + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3YlL40Lrlo Show isn't too bad imo. Felt a little wacky from what I remember with how Kei acted but it was jealously at its best. Kei is the most terrible in the whole series, always about self-interest. I liked Miyako quite a bit. | ||

"best"? It would have been good in a serious psychological show. In a melodrama anime like this where there is no real consequence nor follow-up on it, it's absolute garbage. I'll be honest here and say that I skipped through parts of this because I don't want to go through a complete psychological disaster if it isn't relevant in the end. | ||

These felt like they were big deal for mangaka to make and have pretty, precise and confident linework. Manga like this seems impossible to find and I don't know what kind of search words I should use. I've tried multilple times but maybe here's at least one person who shares similar interests and can point me in some direction. I recently read Mononoke and Bokko which were captivating. | ||

I'll be honest here and say that I skipped through parts of this because I don't want to go through a complete psychological disaster if it isn't relevant in the end. The show actually makes more sense if you continue on to watching ef: a tale of melodies. Gives better framing. + Show Spoiler + Like knowing that there's actually two different cities with the same name where the stories take place, background on why that happened. Also, consider that the show is based on a hentai-adjacent (haven't played the game; it could be hentai entirely) dating sim. It's not a happy romance kindof show; there is some psychology of broken people in it. Also, at least Chihiro has an excuse? I dunno, maybe I just saw it too close to watching Chuunibyo, but I liked Chihiro best out of all of them. | ||

I dunno. I think Rumi was pretty dope. And can we get another season already? I want to know what Yukino's request was. | ||
