What a tense episode! Claire ends up becoming part of the SDA and they all fool the major space organizations. Hoshi manages to catch Hakim and it ends with a gun to his neck, I can't wait for the next ep ;D

Good episode, but very unbelievable that there wasn't even a single patrol ship with the Von Braun.
I always wonder what terrorist think would happen when their actions would succeed. Should the INTO just go and say "oh well lets forfeit space and start supporting 3rd world nations" or what?

Hakim deserves to die, but Hachi is defending his dream, not fighting terrorism. It's probably best to leave the guy alive, for now.

I can understand their motives (Hakim et al) but I cannot abide the indiscriminate killing of civilians in such a coward way (9/11, both Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and of course Zionist [not all Jews are Zionist] abuse over Palestine). I trust Claire died, she took a weapon the she should expect to die by one.

Really incompetent security people if they still let Claire keep her job knowing she was the girlfriend of a terrorist. I know in real life people are often given benefit of the doubt, but the rules are different in organisations that are supposed to be high security, like space exploration, an obvious target for terrorism.

Though it's unlikely, I hope Hachi will shoot Hakim. I believe that every terrorist deserves to get a bullet in the eye.

Hello, I'd like to ask you people something. In 23rd episode (and at least in 21st as well) there's a track which isn't included in OST. It starts in the background at 11:33 in 23rd episode. There's characteristic baritone line in this track, and it's mood is quite eerie. So if anyone of You discussing this episode knows something about that piece of OST, please let me know somehow.

Oh man!!! Claire! I really didn't expect that. I mean, I figured she was working with them at this point (maybe the whole series) however I didn't expect her to die. Though, too be honest, she kind of deserves to die. She fucked over her own people to go play terrorist, and then bashes on those who live peacefully, even looking down on her own kin when he was able to achieve something through peaceful measures.

Agreed. Although at this point I'm not sure whether she really is dead (as the wound they showed was in her leg or something, if I'm not mistaken), I do hope so.

Claire, what a bitch, I hope she's dead. And the policemen are stupid, should have shot Hakim without hesitation. And I guess Hoshino will be stopped by Tanabe in the next ep.

The Space Defence Front is moving at full speed. This time they are trying to crash the Von Braun into the largest city on the moon.

After Hakim now Claire lost her cover and is a member of the terrorists.

Hachimaki meets Hakim again. Last time at the bombing he didn't manage to kill or injure Hakim. Will he do this time?

one thing that i do enjoy about this anime a lot is introducing all these different characters and making all them significant in some way. it was neat to see all those previous characters we met have small appearances to show us an update on how they're doing (looks like the previously suicidal parents and their little girl were on the run). i also like how they show everyone's perspective to explain their actions

i really enjoyed the Swan's progression, she changed so much throughout the show, whether it be for better or worse.

anyways, i imagined a completely different route for this anime. i'm not really a fan of how this anime turned out but it was still interesting. a few more episodes to go

still....Hakim vs Hachi, not a fan of either of them so i don't care if they both die. you know you hate the main character when you don't mind if the terrorists kill him. still, i hoped the terrorists would be a bit more humane, really sad that Claire decided to join the cause in such a brutal way. but i guess it's more realistic this way. sad world

Fee's rant was the only good part...

I'm at a point of total apathy. Like, whether the Von Braun is successfully destroyed or not, I just don't care at all either way. I'm oversimplifying, but basically on one side we have the sociopathic edgelords, and on the other, the terrorists. I don't feel the meaning or the weight of the conflict, even if I roughly know what's at stake on paper.

And now the stakes have been raised to the point where an entire city is in danger. I guess I don't want Tranquility to be destroyed, but I feel like this radical escalation doesn't fit with the first two thirds of the show. Wasn't this series supposed to be "grounded", even if it was set in space? I guess I got the wrong impression. Oh well.

The show still looks pretty good, so there's at least something to look at.

This was so good, I was on the edge of my seat for most of the episode!

I can't believe Claire went, and became one of the terrorists too, the sad part is that I think that Hakim was just using her, he didn't bat an eye when she was wounded/killed, and said that "it was nothing" to his others 'comrades', but there is no way to know now if she would've reacted the same, so maybe they were both using each other, a pity they gave in, and tried to change the world like this, maybe if they had continued to climb their positions they would've been able to help people, but then again they might have been swallowed up by bureaucracy, and they would still be a minority, so...

I wonder if Cheng-Shin will be able to do something now that he realized it's a terrorist attack, he still has control over his current ship after all, and our debris team is neutralized, it would be a nice spotlight for him. Hachimaki continues to be the weakest part of the episode, first he goes like "I can be alone, I don't need anyone" to crying because his teacher died, and then he had the expression of a complete madman, it was like he didn't even care about 'saving the ship', just about killing Hakim, am I supposed to root for him like this? He needs a reality check as soon as possible to go back to being a 'nice' character, but well, this is getting good!

Definitely an over the top and to a degree, over dramatic episode but it did get some tension built there. Kind of nutty thinking about the show and how it was 10 episodes ago compared to the absolute chaos it is now with terriorism, gunfire everywhere, deaths, mental states breaking down, etc. Only thing optimistic about the anime and where's it at, is the ending song that continues to play after each episode.

Honestly, what is up with this show and people lashing out at bystanders/colleagues whenever they're anger. Everyone's had their round and now Cheng-Shin's turn.

At times, it feels like the characters in this show have the emotional maturity of a toddler.

Kinda detest Claire now, even tho there have been characters that acted on worse motives. Terrorists act like cornered rats, that is true here, yet the fact that she's doing what she does despite knowing the consequences is bugging me. Perhaps I'm taking this too personally.

But damn, still an intense episode that I enjoyed immensely. It turned up quickly.
