Oh god this episode was fucking hilarious. Lmfao at all the random shit that happened on the way to the onsen. Expected some nice fanservice from this episode but it instead ended up becoming a war with food explosives all over the place. Lol that AST girl leader was crazy funny about getting there and so was Origami. Haha nice stalker outfit in the beginning.

Hnnnggggggggg Yoshino is just too adorable for my own health. And Tohka had some really cute moments as well.

I ususally don't like the hot springs episodes, but this was an interesting twist on the cliche. Even if its clear it was just one big AST fan service episode.

The episode was just funny, i liked the part where all the AST are happy to go at the hot spring while Origami isn't until she have a phone call from Shido that was pretty funny.

Wasn't a bad filler episode. Having only seen the anime, I still don't like the AST force or anyone in it.
Yoshino is definitely my favorite character.

it was A nice filler episode, But what buggers me is that it had more *AST vs Ratatosk* than the Springs episode it self, Granted, the ending section somehow filled it up, it is still satisfactory episode >.<

Poor AST, they just want to go to 'Onsen' especially that cool captain!!
Go capt I love you even if I don't know your name!
And this episode's fanservice is too much for me xD
I'm not sure if Shido is dense or just don't realized that he's the only male in that 'Onsen'

Next ep, it's the famous Yandere appearance?

Such a WTH ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

Not only whole anime is rushed trying to compress 4 vol in 12 episodes, many details are omitted, but they then waste one episode on "that"? I really would like if they spend it on story.

And episode itself is mediocre at best, there were to much nonsense, even standard fan-service episode would be better.

Are you fucking serious? Don't the AST have GPS service? They used those sonar things which are obviously not ordinary but are not military; surly that's not purely military. And why can't they just fly over a fucking wall? Origami even jumped the length that's well above it.

Beyond those, who the fuck put Kotori in charge and that pedo blonde into second? Why were they so easily excused?
Why are the AST members so casual and mentally weak? Why are they all female(IB4INFINITESTRATOSLOGIC)? Why is there a fracture in the military and the whatever force Kotori is in charge of? Don't they HAVE to work together to defeat these spirits?
Why are the girls so easily tied up in noodles? Aren't they edible therefore extremely easy to cut?

You know, those were on my mind from episodes 1-3, but I kind of just gave up thinking rationally about this series.

Honestly, I actually kind of like this series after the next epsiode, it's top grade animation and design, but just downright lazy coherency and character development.

I hate how the music is wasted on this series... The Astral Armor is also far too revealing, sigh.

For all the posts on the previous episode's thread pre-emptively writing off this episode as mere filler, I actually enjoyed this episode a lot. :D Of course there was technically ever-present fanservice in the form of the AST always in their uniform, but aside from that there wasn't half as much as I was expecting, which for me was a good thing.

In contrast I was also surprised by the amount of action in this episode, which I liked a lot despite how bonkers a lot of it was (the AST troop sliding into the bowling alley and hitting the pins? Eh...sure :P). The comedy also kept to the standard (like Tohka putting her foot through the car and causing that explosion) and since there was more of it this time I enjoyed the episode more for it. :D

Maybe someday I'll develop a taste for more intellectual comedy, but until that day I shall revel in craziness like this. ^_^

I expected an episode an episode taking place at an onsen, instead I got a crazy fight destroying all the city xD
Seriously, how big his their budget to constantly rebuild the city? :/

Poor Origami, she's always left behind :P

Yoshino is so cute :3
And scary...

Next episode, a new Spirit get in town and she seem pretty infiltred and acknowledged.

Is this a filler episode? this is got to be a filler episode because there was no plot progression.. anyway I just like to point out that in the last scene, Shidou was taking a dip in a cramped, puddle-like hot spring together with 3 hot chicks and he was acting like it was the most natural thing to do. That's very nice having an MC that doesn't bleed his nose and act like a complete idiot whenever they come in close contact with girls.

A good filler episode before Kurumi's arc. Very funny episode.

The squad kept getting detoured throughout the episode. Attacked by noodles, slime, balls, white carrots, getting captured by a net xD

Yoshinon laughing at Tohka because she caved in the road. Tohka sure loves it when Shido pets her.

Out of nowhere Yoshinon's head falls off. Priceless

Love hot spring episodes, but this isn't one of them. Episode was just flat with character feeling disconnected. Over the top silliness. I was expecting them to hit their destination by the half of the episode at least, but they were walking whole damn time. With only one scene near the end. Shits and giggles all the way. Meh...

Awesome episode, I liked every part, Kotori has a thing about onii-chan, Shido patting party, AST desperation, AST leader (well cliched single sensei for a change became squad leader, that's something :p), jealousy Origami. Well I would like to see moar hotsprings Kotori x Shido uneasiness but oh well...

yeah, I swear, I'd never do it too...
