In the previous episode discussion threads I was blaming this series for intentional unbalancing of the fights and general lack of realism in failing to make the sides more equal (even tactically if not directly technologically), but during this episode I finally realised it was my mistake, entirely. I couldn't stop laughing while watching the action scenes in this episode, and naturally that made me realise this is an action comedy series. Now it all makes a lot more sense.

AniDB doesn't have comedy classification for this series but it's so evident in this episode anybody could see it.
