Schoolgirl Striker direction of ep 2 was kinda strange. Like I think the whole first half is a bit filler-ish. And the fact that physical training somehow can upgrade their weapons (from R 3 to SR 1 in the game) was weird to say the least. Are these girls seriously strengthen by participating in school life activities?
The whole fighting sequence later was excellently animated through
I know the main storyline from playing the game. But I don't know how they were going to adapt all the bits into anime, and so far it seems they are understandably taking a different approach (the game actually introduced the 5 girls, then expand and introduce the rest of the cast as these 5 actually have their own group of friends before being assembled into the group). Unfortunately the anime direction in ep 2 is not how I think they should do it
I do afraid that they are trying too hard to please the game audiences. The sock puppets, Tsubame pajama + her room, the parallel world, their base design, etc... were all replicated from the game. There was a lot of detail paying onto it and it's definitely fun for me to see it in the anime. But I think it will fly over most non-gamer heads
PS: I have a lot of hope on Schoolgirl Striker anime as a game-adaptation because a) the characters are already very established, b) no male in sight, and it's easy to ship some 'certain' pairings, c) it has a good lore and story-line that is easy to adapt + many events that could fit as filler. Don't screw this up J.C. Staff!!
