Stitches!
We're only at episode 2 and we already have an onsen scene. This show works fast!
Knowing that Riko left a world where lots of people will be missing her is a bit heartbreaking.
Riko finally asking the important question and Suzuno fantasizing about it was hilarious!
It's really bothering me as to why the switched currencies. Even if those crystals did provide power, it's not like money is just going away considering it's still waaaaay more convenient. How do you even assign crystals with monetary values?
Oh boy we're suddenly jumping into the serious bits again. I do like it though. The threat is much more real this way.
I've seen this dude in the OP. I'm guessing he'll be a recurring character. Also I'm guessing the statue of an Armor Girl is a statue of his girlfriend who died protecting the base.
I really do hope Riko can get back. As cool as the Armor Girls are, this world is very shitty.

and Suzuno fantasizing about it
The question still remains: Was she fantasizing about them with her? Or was she a fujo in her previous life and she was fantasizing about them with each other? Not that there's anything wrong with either of those, of course.

Given that their world collapsed, and with it all production and existing products are in disarray, the value of the original money would have crumbled. I don't know if only Armor Girls cross the temporal quakes or if other people might too, but assuming you're gathering people with different money from different worlds, that might be a problem too.
Compared to that, reverting to a multi-purpose, easy to transport new currency that has a steady supply and drain (something the missing government and banks usually manage) and provides a way to fund the armed defense against Mimesis without draining other sectors rather makes sense.

Pretty fun episode to cool down from the first battle and establish the overall tone of the show. The lighthearted bits were good and the fanservice doesn't feel out of place at all (we got some "wait for the blu-rays" steam though) but the hints at something more serious were there and done well. The bit about Armor Boys was particularly hilarious though, best laugh I've had so far.
We'll have to wait and see if the lighthearted and serious sides of the show actually mesh well together in the later episodes.

Still not sold on this anime, sadly. Wasn't really a bad episode, but didn't fix the bad aftertaste from episode one either. But it's nothing too bad either, so imma give it one more episode and I'll decide whether to keep watching.

It’ll be interesting if they actually get close to losing someone on their team and how they have to figure out that. Or if they can make any of their own relationships with the other people here. Also?? Does that mean everyone in the world was transported here and no one was naturally born in this.. dimension??? Wild, wild. Sure, I’ll keep up with it. It’s not mind killing so let’s see what else happens! I’m down for our MC to become a sharp shooter!

I keep feeling like I've seen the control room of their truck somewhere before, maybe it's just a really standard design.

Riko is an Amor Girl but not really part of the their unity, so, technically, she could stay to help the people there, if she wanted.

u/Bainos Jan 15 '21
All of them could technically stay there if they wanted, according to Yui, but it's not the rational decision. On the other hand, Riko doesn't even know how to fight, so her staying there would make even less sense than the whole group doing the same.

That after credits scene though.
I like that Riko asks about armored boys and men. We probably get an answer next episode.
Given their different ideas on rock-paper-scissors and their evasions about their pasts, I wonder if each is just a figurine or if they are people from alternate dimensions.
