First episode was pretty low-key.
We got an explanation of the world, some name butchering (Havia? The Legitimate Kingdom? And I don't even remember what they did for Qwenser.), and the low-key war is peaceful antics before everything goes to shit.
I was expecting the battle between the Baby Magnum and the Water Strider to be more dynamic, but overall I'm fairly satisfied. Maybe I'm just forgetting if it was supershort or not in the LN.

Okay then, I suspected as such.
I must've conflated it with the other Object fights.
Yeah, it didnt really happen much between the objects in the LN.
I remember thinking "man this is so well-suited to beeing animated" all the time while reading the first volume; at least its way better suited to it than Index.
They'd probably show a bit more of the battle like how it got there next episode.
Opening hyyyyyyype
Looks like we're seeing the Tricore.
Also, Sladder Honeysuckle. The South America arcs were probably some of my favorite.

I couldn't remember his name for the life of me, but capping the season with him is a good idea. Those arc were hype.
Saw 2nd episode, So far so good.
Then I notice that for a talky show, none of them are emitting any vapor/steam breath despite being in the cold for so long. I know the Elite's uniform is special but I guess the troops futuristic uniform is too.
So how many cour's is this again? Seems the 1st volume would at least be 3-4 episodes, they're taking their time which is good.
I dunno, the OP suggests that they'll get at least to Australia/Oceania in this cour
its certaily better than when J.C. try to squash entire volumes in two episodes, like they did with some arcs in the second season of Index
It's probably just a lazy animation thing. Visible breath is from your breath being condensed by the cold, not from your body itself being cold.
It's supposed to be 24 episodes.
Anyways, episode thoughts. They skipped out on the water strider managing to ambush the Baby Magnum because it can stick to vertical or more than vertical surfaces like a spider.
They also skipped Havia reprimanding Quenther for only carrying half the standard C4 issue because Quenther is a lazy ass and didn't want to carry around the extra weight.

Quenser will probably bring that up in an anime-y explain-the-enemy-and-how-you-beat-him monologue i'd guess, its a pretty major detail; the "Quenser is a lazy fuck who dont want to carry this much explosives" part isnt that important i'd say.
Though i wonder when the Metal Gear crossovers will roll in en masse; especially considering in the first Metal gear for the NES, Snake does use C4 to blow up the Metal Gear prototype as well.
After AntiMagic Academy, seeing a slower-paced episode from a first volume is a godsend.
Now that was a great episode. When Qwenthur and Havia were all excited for their super-promotions I couldn't keep the shit-eating grin off my face.
This is so Kamachi it hurts.
It's way different seeing the fanservice than reading it. Milinda shooting up Qwenthur and Havia by accident was hilarious, though.
It's way different because they're adding fanservice scenes that weren't originally there in the LNs.
Huh.
Man, it's been a while since I read the early LNs.
It can be a talky show, gotta' keep the audience attention through exposition at times.
This show is getting a lot of hate online (almost entirely because of the premise) and that saddens me

Huh? What about its premise? (I have neither watched nor read this)
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
