Hey yeah I don't think this show works in a lot of ways! It would be better if it was like a serial instead of an anthology. I think someone said the guy int he most recent ep is supposed to be the spy bro from the first two episodes but I didn't even realize it. Otherwise it's like they keep throwing new characters at us and it's like how are we supposed to understand or invest in these peeps in like 15 minutes. furthermore the spying action is pretty bad well maybe especially in this most recent ep. like where is the intrigue or the thrill of the reveal when half the information is hidden from the viewer and it all unfolds retroactively in the last 2 minutes. it's kinda like oceans 12 where they swerve the viewer and are like "oh no actually we did the heist thirty minutes into the movie but we didnt show it to you so whatever movie over." seems kinda bad

I'm still an episode behind but episode 3 was super cool and I liked Hatano even while being really anxious about what his role there was, poor Marie  I'm totally down for mostly unconnected spy stories as Japan's involvement escalates or whatever the the plan overall isSuch a catchy OP too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqgPByDFq0o

I guess this is nothing but poorly written fujo-bait after all. Pity, the first couple episodes were rather promising.

So far all this show does is justify the use of the internment camps.

How was ep 5? I didn't really like 4 because the spy wasn't on screen for most of it.

Ahhh the Shanghai episode of Joker Game was pretty good~ I'm liking this show  I know more money doesn't equal better animation but I kinda wish it had time/budget/whatever to look a bit nicer, a little more fluid and stylised maybe. Like, I want these spy stories just dripping in atmosphere and while the show doesn't look bad, it doesn't really have anything that stands out visuallyIt would probably really benefit from having slightly longer episodes too, like they threw a lot of twists/reveals in the last quarter which is fine since that's how these stories go but there wasn't quite enough time for anything to really impact as much as it could have

I still think this show is neat. The terrier was well animated too.

The MPs and the butler in the new episode are about as subtly undercover as Wei Shen in Sleeping Dogs (the SA LP edition). It's like...how do you people not realize that you're being the shittiest spies ever?!  The lack of self-awareness on part of these dumbasses is astounding!As for the new big development... "Wind Agency", really? Seriously though, I'm kind of glad that some of the army folks are smartening up but...dangit this ended up as a dick-measuring contest between the Wind Agency leader and Yuuki. And I'm pretty sure Yuuki's the one with the best of the country in mind way more than Mr. "WAR COLLEGE ARMY MEN ARE THE BEST AND HAVE THE BIGGEST DICKS".

I was rolling my eyes at the "England got all this money from SELLING OPIUM" bit, but it makes perfect sense for an indoctrinated Army officer to say that without a speck of irony.

And indeed, they were the shittiest spies ever. No wonder Yuuki didn't want anyone involved with the army in his own squad. Jitsui flipping out and putting the Wind goon in a sleeper hold was magical.

Well we sure saw this coming but it was actually even more pathetic than expected: "KILL WITHOUT HESITATION" wasn't even at the root of the operation falling apart, but just plain lack of any sensibility exactly like Mr. Totally Undercover Tan Man in the previous episode. And the D-Agency literally predicted this all coming over a year in advance. You must really suck as a spy if the "enemy" can tell what you're doing before the plan is even a glimmer in the captain's eyes. D-Agency won this dick measuring contest in so many ways.  Also loving the bit where women turned out to be way more observant and understanding about everything than big manly so-called educated cream of the crop War College men - and they weren't even in on there being a spy operation in progress! And Yuuki's "OF COURSE THEY KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP, IDIOT" speech was a thing of beauty.

A pointless death from sheer happenstance is entirely appropriate. I like that Yuuki is the real main character of the series,

Is too much to hope for a prequel series centered more squarely on Yuuki? He stole my heart with that grenade-swiping smirk
