This episode went way better than I expected with the girls' reunion.
>Nyaan shoots first, oh shit oh fuck
>cool funnel attacks and dodging
>they actually talk AND LISTEN once they recognize each other
>Machu can actually sympathize that Nyaan's honest retardation is honest
>Nyaan reflexively saves Machu's life by shooting Kycilia in the back while Machu watches
FRIENDSHIP SAVED

>that instant switch-flip from nervous breakdown to savage self-preservation when Kycilia turns the gun on her
God, that made me so hard. I half-expected Nyaan to splat Kycilia right there, but then the sicko reflex passed and she just fled. Why is she so perfect, bros?

Challia vs Xavier was also really cool. I think that was the longest continuously-well-animated dogfight scene I've ever watched. X is holding up surprisingly well against the geezer.
