It makes sense because they know her, know what she's doing and how she's doing it (or at least they think they do), and they have already infiltrated her operation. If she leaves the scene, someone else who's possibly harder to deal with would fill the void. That's why the CIA would prefer to keep her around.

You know you like it!
It certainly scratches an unspeakable itch.
Are these made by the same dudes who do the Precure EDs?
Even though Aikatsu! is Sunrise and Precure is Toei, they look fairly identical. I'm guessing that both of the shows farm this thing out to the same mocap/CG company, although I wouldn't be surprised of Toei does the CG in-house as they're surprisingly capable of creating and animating good 3D models of 2D character designs.

You'd think they'd be worried about a woman installing some kind of back end into this satellite network that lets her track everything in the world or something. But apparently not.
They seem to think they can control her, and by extension, whatever she's building. It's a mistake the CIA made more than once in the past.

That's what I mean. It's not apparent in the context of Jormungand itself, but it makes sense when looking at what the CIA does in the real world.

EBICHU!
Maybe all CG looks the same in Japan, especially since they all go for that ugly 3d animu look.
Well, I suppose it could still be a bit nonsensical anyway. I wonder if there's a FSB mole watching her too. lol
(Or I guess a Chinese mole in this future).
Watching it for the yuri? lol

CØDE：BREAKER 02
I guess all the pretty boys aren't into whatsherface then?
Dramatic music! Dramatic dialogue! This is suppose to be important! But, meh. Not really feeling it. The girl is being awfully all justice-y for someone without blue sparkly flames. I barely see her point in the show. She's like Shinpachi expect there's no comedy to remark back towards.
Oh well, at least I still like the OP/ED.

So far she strikes me as a proxy for the viewer. She leads a relatively normal life and we see all this craziness from her perspective so its like watching Lelouch or Light do their thing from a distance.
It's not all created equally! Have we already forgotten that wonzo just posted a fresh batch of Kingdom gifs earlier today?

I bet Kingdom would look like the Precure stuff if it was a bunch of moe girls in moe costumes dancing around like moe idorus!
You're giving it way too much credit!
It's about tested friendship, heated rivalries, the pursuit of your dreams, the sacrifice to make it happen, and trading cards.

true... but it's not like gintama is a bad show.... eh w/e.
it's not even really yuri with the eye patch girl out to get a penis all the time.
So basically its about selling merchandise.

Gintama has much more yaoi potential than yuri potential.
I need to watch this already.

Gintama 142
Ok, she is moving up the rankings pretty quickly on best girl.
Damn, so much action. It was amazing! I'm quite in awe at how much action there was in this episode.

The more idol shows i watch, the more confused about what this occupation is about.

Also crap, 153 episodes!

Looks like it's just S3 that's full 3D.
God damn that song is catchy though.

Man, I wonder why they decided to switch. Budget, I presume.Looks like it's just S3 that's full 3D.
dat megane.
Kid has a fucking leather holster for his touchpad that he plays some tap to win bullshit on.
Genki (that I am no longer unable to appreciate thanks to Mihoshi) aside, the roach hair girl at the end (and in the ED) makes me worry too.
if only she'd wear em all the time... *wistfully stares off into the distance*
bu bu bu but 8 whole frames
from what little i've read about this series beforehand (mild spoilers)
she's actually an ai built into the operating system

Right. Cutting off a group of people from the hierarchy of society that reinforces civilized behavior reveals the true nature of each individual. I'm curious to see if Infinite Ryvius will be as bleak in its exploration of that as Lord of the Flies is.
Oh dear.
Oh dear indeed. You're in for a ride. Lol.

The whole 'sibling rivalry' angle is one of the weakest parts of the show because it never makes any sense.

I guess that works, although
everyone wants to be the Moogster
I'm Mugi, you're Nodoka, SD is Azusa
As if I needed more evidence that Nodoka is best K-on

Before that last panel, I thought she was vomiting up cream mama-bird style.
But I get to be her because reasons.
