The catfight between Aoi and Manami in the living room was great. They're both really good at fighting, Aoi has the edge with her teleporting and firearms skill, but Manami seems to be a little better at improvisation.

I like the aspect that Manami still loves Kio and despite her feelings resurfacing now that she and he found out it was just one big misunderstanding, she's stepping aside. She had her chance, and she isn't selfish enough to realize that Aoi needs her own chance too. One way or another, she is friends with both of them, and she is a nice enough person to wait her turn again.

This episode did have one problem. We still have no idea who the hell the shaman girl is. That sparse explanation went completely over my head. She shot out a Clarke line about sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, so I guess it's not really magic after all, but we don't even know if she is human. It's rather annoying that she's settled in with them and we know nothing about her.
