I still remembered when the first episode was going to be aired, it was around the time of Shinzo Abe's assasination. People back then were wondering "are they really want to air it at this time? Isnt it way too soon?". Especially when the first episode's PV is showing a domestic terrorism scene, on a broad daylight, right in front of the public.

So, I'm intrigued and i decided to pick this series.

First impression? Clean and high quality graphics. The background is so clear and vivid. Definitely an eyecandy.

Second impression? The gunfight scene. Actually, to be honest, i personally dont really like action genre. But i'm interested with the raw plot direction and i enjoy crafting my own theories along the way. Being an anime original making it way more fun. Nobody knows what's going to be happen next. We're playing a "global game" where everyone is struggling to find clues here and there, then we proceed to craft our own theory on what's going to be happen next episode. Oh, anyway, the gunfight scene is beautifully choreographed.

Third impression? The plot. To put it simply, it's about high-school girls "secret police" squad who's eliminating the evil in the silence. Then, there's a really big evil squad that's definitely not like the other. The high school girls squad keeps losing on each and each episode. That's the gist of it. Oh, also.. There's so much conspiracy, between the high-school girls organization as a whole and the big evil squad organization as a whole. The frontline soldiers on both sides are fighting and killing each other. But the generals are still shrouded in mystery. We dont even know who is really the bad guy. Yes, even until the last episode, we dont really know about it.

Between the big clash of this two big fiction, Chisato Nishikagi is placed at the very center of it. Somehow she's quite succeeded in keeping her own fair share of independence against both factions who tried so hard to control her life.

Fourth impression? The slice of life aspect of cute girls doing cute things is really top notch! As an average SOL enjoyer, i really really like this series. But, i always feel unease and anxiety while watching the SOL scene on this series. One scene, they look so happy go lucky, eating parfaits, aquarium date, going shopping, etc. But at the very next scene, they could be ambushed by a group of domestic terrorist.

That's what makes this show is so unique : a delicate balance between intense plot, shocking actions and fluffy CGDCT slice of life.

Final note, judging from the last episode, there's high potential of S2/movie sequels.

Summary

Good things :

1. High quality graphics, vivid background.
2. Nice contrast between fluffy slice of life and intense action scene.
3. The plot is deep and complex. But you can also just ignore it all and enjoy the cute slice of life scenes here and there.

Maybe not so good things :

1. Yuri and yaoi subtheme is maybe not for everyone.
2. Questionable superhuman things left unexplained. Dodging bullets? Superhearing? Survived against RPG explosion and insane fall damage? Really?
3. Some action scene is really cliché. (The hero always comes at a very unrealistic critical times, saving the victim from the pinch)
