Agree with this. Terrible that the mecha fights and wonders have shit all meaning in regards to fan service. They should force more mech battles in this series.

I love how this anime introduces each subsequent character as powerful and overwhelming and then suddenly as they introduce a new character, the previous characters are nothing more than weak garbage.
... No I don't love how they do that.

And is anyone else wondering how the freaking hell Ichika is gonna win against Laura and how he can be so great at fighting in one episode and suck pond water in the next?

Quite honestly I felt Ichika's dash was justified stupidity. Considering his sword is hax powered and can OHKO most other IS's he was probably trying to test that Nazi German IS' defensive capabilities. Plus he had Charl to back him up since Laura HAS to stay still for the AIC thing to work (as proven by Cecilia's maneuver).

Charlotte and Ichika are good together, too bad they're too stupid to realize there is a divider for beds or a washroom where Ichika found out "Charles" was a girl -.-''

It was an interesting battle but all those girls have big egos and they really should be less talkative. They should be more like Charlotte, I was hoping that we would get more of her in this episode but the changing scene was ok.

Yes and meaningful battles at that! The only real meaningful battle we've seen so far was the one against the unmanned IS with the core. The rest are all trainings or in-school tournaments. Why is there no enemy of some sort? Why does it all stay in-school?

The cutest girl in this episode was Charlotte same as the previous episode. And the most gallant warrior in this episode was Charles. Although Rafale Revive custom II was equipped only conventional weapon of 2nd generation IS, with accurate shooting, he was able to put pressure on the odd-eye with a 3rd generation IS. I hope next episode will be more exciting and the discussion for the next episode to be more comfortable without ill-speaking.

His power grows with the amount of cheesy, idealistic verbal diarrhea he regurgitates during his fights.
Remember the fight in episode 2 against Blue Tears? He got stronger as he spouted random crap about defending his family and the world, and perhaps achieving world piece.
His power levels increased when he spouted crap about protecting Rin in whatever episode that was.
His power levels will no doubt increase in the next episode after spouting more crap about protecting his harem, his sister, the world and the universe, which will ultimately lead to him pulling some ultra powerful move out of his rear and winning.

Logic and common sense are ejected from the brain when it comes to fanservice. Also, was it just me or did we get like 15 seconds of random imagery with just the noises... Save the real scene for DVD?

Pretty good episode. Laura is ownage, so now Rin and Cecilia can't participate. I LOLed at the room scene, yea, there's a bathroom? XD Except I totally ship them now ahaha XD
It was interesting to see Houki's past and how Laura reminds her of that. They're paired together in the tournament ... next episode should be really interesting! :O

Charles and Laura are much more interesting characters than the hyper-active annoying duo Cecilia and Rin, and tag-along Houki. She's really missing out everything since she doesn't have an IS. Ever since Charles entered the picture, Houki's hardly gotten any relevant screentime anymore.

I thought Laura would get a serious telling off for trying to murder students, but seriously, nobody was punished?! Seriously?! I can understand if the harem side of the story doesn't make any sense, but does anything else in the anime make sense?!

It's usual for anime that nobody's punished for misbehavior. I couldn't bear this in SDF Macross at first (and there's army in there, not some college), but then just gave up. Enjoy the swimsuits! ;)

Please kill off the Harem girls. Yeah, I'm asking too much after two of them got brutally beaten to submission. Please all of you die. Also, Laura will end up being in love with Baka Ichika. It's a no-brainer and not rocket science. Still can't believe on some forums say that Star Driver is stupid and give this garbage is okay. What's up with american anime fan community today. Just like americans to watch any crap that comes out that is entertaining without acknowledging their own standards for themselves. It just upsets me.

Um don't watch? & lol, please don't generalize about the "American anime fan community" , I'm pretty sure it's not just America, xD


On topic, Charlotte has probably been the only genuinely interesting girl. :3 Hopefully the upcoming fight isn't a disappoint.

Insult the show 'til you're blue in the face, but why bring countries into it? I'm an American and not particularly fond of this show, so there you have it. Like CookieMonstah said, please don't generalize.

Well, looks like we will get that unmanned IS story in the last 2-3 episodes. Usually this kind of anime will follow that pattern. And I completely agree with the comment regarding the fanservice, it was terrible indeed, at least find a better way if you want to provide some fanservice scene >_<

Can we keep comments relevant to the show?
I agree with you on the shortcomings of this show, but others are bound to disagree and I respect their opinion.
People like different things. Just because you and I don't like it, doesn't means others can't like it. Hell, sometimes you just need to watch shows that don't require the brain to be on sometimes!
If you don't like the show, don't watch it.

I literally lol'd when I heard Laura's weapon name: Anti-Inertia Canceler. Forget hax, this thing just stops physics. I realize I'm talking about an anime about robot suits piloted by teenage girls, but usually they are a little more subtle when they bs stuff like this.

I was wondering if it was called the Anti-Inertia Canceller shouldn't there still be Inertia since it's a double negative

Well, i'm gonna say this nicely as I can so i won't bitch at you for what you just said. Anime is entetainment, I do agree with you on that. But, it's not just entertainment, it's also an art form. It's an art form that comes with stories that creators create. When you have that type of formula and good writing you get a something called "anime" Now I know that not all anime can't be masterpieces, but I do firmly believe that even though something can be mediocre, it can also be a bit smart if something puts effort into it. Now I don't mind SOME things to have stupid elements in it, as long as the show knows it limits and not be redundant and forced, I can dig it. That is what anime means to me.

Isn't it "Active Inertia Canceler"? The solution is simple then: energy weapons. Ain't got no inertia to cancel. BRING ON THE KARASAWA!
