Edit: They might also have been hinting at bullying, though that looked like an all-the-time eye patch rather than something just for a minor injury, so that'd be some serious bullying. |

Given that the show obviously isn't set in Japan, there's nothing surprising about the high school being based on a western one. Incidentally, I always saw proms as being typically American, but that may just be me being ignorant.

I think the difference is that most students participate in multiple cultural festivals and sports meets during high school, but the school trip generally only happens once.
Edit: actually, here's an article explaining it - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ans...5-12-30/.97016 |

That was the first time I've seen a prom brought up in anime. Although everyone calls it "dance party". Maxine's backstory was interesting(and rather sad), I don't really like the buzzcut look before but it's growing on me with her and Kirill. I like that Yuri is a down to earth android without being kuudere/some kind of exaggerated personality that can't function around people like a lot of animebots.

Another episode that makes me wish Travis's Angels were the protags instead of Doug and Kirill. It's not that I don't like Doug and Kirill, but the girls just have more "spark".
Also, is it me or Connor has T&B Jake's haircut? Quote:
Also, Travis tried to asked Max how it was going with Yuri at the end of the episode before Kirill interrupted. |

I still find the comedy a bit of mixed bag (especially when the narrator is involved) but i do like how the story has gotten progressively more serious and "Police Procedural". I have to say, the exposition can be better though. That's two episodes now where they just shove the exposition about a characters backstory all at the end in such a forced manner. That whole transgender thing came so out of left field I barely had time to register it.

It was nice to see the entire Seven-O team in action together and all sporting their team jacket's (except Doug) .
Poor Apple Bieber. Everyone seems to just assume his technology is going to be used to perv on people . I thought the people surrounding Zabel were the elite of Esperanza, but here they came off more like his mooks. Do they even have names? I kind of want to know the hot dark-haired lady's name . It seems like Kirill is really growing as a character here, actually coming up with a plan to save Doug that the entire group could get behind and support, and then managing to pull it off. He may still be an idiot, but he's growing as an officer . I love how honest and blunt Doug can be. In the same sentence where he thanks Kirill for saving him he also confirms he would never have even tried to save him if the situation had been reversed . Who could have expected Kirill's engrish catchphrase would prove plot relevant? It turns out that drunk's ramblings might have been more accurate then we knew .

It really doesn't feel like there are only four episodes left. There are so many things left to explain and deal with. Maybe it's actually split cour?

And yeah, didn't expect Kirill's catchphrase to be relevant to the plot.
