Of course, the first thing the countries do is start building warships and creating air fleets. In the early 1900s, these Leviathans are kings of the air, and the political situation is tense. Clashes between warships are common..... Sadly, there were major problems on the manufacturing end of the deal, and it killed the game.... Craig

LAST EDITED ON Sep-10-17 AT 04:26 PM (EDT) Been watching this show.Every major character in this show needs a hug, and a nice warm and sunny retirement as far away from all of this as is possible. And I keep expecting one of these characters to reveal a motorcycle and wind powered transformation belt...

They're neck-deep in the Great Game and they know it, and the show is -not- pulling punches when it comes to just how utterly head-twisting the Game can be. This is not a K-On! or a Girls und Panzer moefest, folks. It isn't "cute girls doing cute spy things", it's "cute girls doing realistically dangerous, deadly, double-crossing, dastardly spy things". And the Episode 10 Cliffhanger Ending is just the icing on the cake.
