Senkou no Night Raid hasn’t really leveraged its historical setting thus far, instead opting to be more like a retro version of Ghost in the Shell. Hell they even do that telepathic communication thing, which looks and sounds like the equivalent technique in Ghost in the Shell. I didn’t find the episode particularly well structured, as it tried to establish the back stories of our ensemble cast without a single line of exposition, and very little context. It would just cut into flashbacks at random times, though I found Aoi’s flashbacks to be most appropriate to the story. The main plot involves the arrival of a Russian musician who is a suspected spy. Our heroes (maybe? I don’t really see the purpose of their counter-espionage shenanigans) have to stop him from getting a message out to... someone. Wake me up when a proper story arc begins.
