Despite a slow start and a drop in the animation budget, this episode was easily the best one yet. It was very focused on the girls, their interaction and conflicts, and it also kept Kiriya's actions focused as well. It's great that Hebijou has finally come into light, and we get Suzune teased (hopefully, Daidouji isn't far behind).
And next episode looks to get the conflict going. Hopefully, I'll soon have nothing to complain about.
Also, one of my favorite aspects about this anime has become seeing all of the different outfits; a lot are really creative and stylish.

Ya I like the constent costume changing and wow at those bikini's. Fights seem kinda meh in this show so far because they just don't have the time to do anything.
New ending theme was good.

The new ending theme was indeed good. Hopefully, it means that there'll be more Hebijou screentime coming.

The only edible food in the ED are Homura's and Yomi's. Maybe Mirai's as well. No comment on Haruka's.
ED has a nice melody, better than Hanzo's.
Those soon to be DLC swimsuits...

Mirai had a mini jet in her dress, wtf.
Also Yagyuu is way too overprotective of Hibari, it's just a pillow fight, she'll have to let Hibari fight on her own someday. Also, Yagyuu's deceased sister looks nothing like her from that flashback.
Interesting ending, I would not eat whatever Haruka made, not sure it's safe, Yomi's bean sprout dish looks rustic and tasty, Homura's is pretty colorful, not sure about Mirai's fish head, I'm not a fan of fish heads.

new ending was cool love hikages face.. lol at homuras "chopsticks"... i didnt know that hibari resembles someone important to yagyuu who died... now i can tolerate her hibari obsession... but she still causes trouble to yagyuu.. she has to get stronger... hikage was awesome as always and mirai on her jet was adorable XD... i hope that the hebijou girls will get more screentime

Typed this out as I watched the ep. I enjoyed the start. I'm glad they kept in the card game and Katsuragi's forehead flick. They changed it a little by having them on this boat going to an island whilst in the game they were on a train going to the beach. I should stop comparing the differences but it's also fun to see what's changed, as long as it's just as good as before. I loved the copious amounts of Katsuragi underboob I thought it was interesting how they've incorporated Rin into the girl's story aswell. That message up in the beams of the lodge they were in was obviously written by her. In the game I can't remember Kiriya ever sharing the details of his past with the girls I liked Asuka calling Yagyuu "Hibari's Barrier" during the pillow fight. haha I was very surprised to see them slot in Inochigake mode. It's not something I was expecting at all. Wow. The huge gun was one thing but Mirai pulling the mini fighter jet from under her skirt was hilarious. I can't stop laughing. It looks like they might actually close up the whole Kiriya and Rin thing in the anime with the big focus on it this episode and even Rin appearing at the end. I seriously hope they do explore it, it's the one thing that they left untouched in the games. I love the new visuals for the ED. I don't think the song is as good as Hanzou's though. Why does Hikage have so many expressions? She's meant to be expressionless/emotionless. The story is progressing nicely albeit very differently than the games. Next week is a surprise attack on Hanzou and it looks like the Heibjou girls will get a bit more screentime. The only battle left now is Homura vs Asuka (which happened first in the game). I wonder if that'll be next week. Also, I share the same opinion about the costumes/swimwear. I love that they keep changing them for some variety.

Ya that Hikage with emotions was kinda heh. But I guess they did not have anytime to explain her character. I think all introduction fights need to be one on one. Don't need a bunch of little fights an episode just one key fight is enough where you can get some insight on the characters as well as see a better planned and focused fight.

As for I liked how the original game plot progressed from a evil/good ninjas clear cut to something more morally ambiguous, and I'm thrilled to see some hints of that in the anime with Kirya retaining some information with the girls. Also, one of my favorite aspects about this anime has become seeing all of the different outfits; a lot are really creative and stylish. Amen to that. Ninja training in bikini was sheer glorious I loved the copious amounts of Katsuragi underboob Katsu-nee, always above and beyond the call of simple fanservice. This is why we love her ;p

There was a lot in this episode. Everyone here has pretty much said what I would say, though.... >_< My hype! Rin is in!
And those costumes, my god. We NEED those costumes.

I'm sorry, Katsu-who? That first image of Homura in the ED was the best fanservice of the episode.
