I stated on IRC that I will drop these series if Rie Tanaka is not getting a line in the next episode, and... she didn't. I saved a few screencaps.

The ballsy sailors were pretty amusing.

Sakamoto's katana is magic. In a way, it's better than a lightsaber.

The lighting in the scene between Yoshika and the Striker Unit was rather corny, but it teetered on the verge of a good taste. They did worse in ef in places. But the steam covering the deck elevator was way on the wrong side.

I think I'll keep my word. This production is nice, but not worth the price.
