Galileo got hurt. Vidocq didn't even care though. He just wanted that information. Ogura thinking on her feet at the end there.

That was pretty awesome episode wasn't expecting this at all. I didn't know what was going on when she started shooting at the ship herself.

Lol @ photoshopped boobs.

They should just put Sio in charge of the operation.

No offense, but I thought the leader (that old lady) was supposed to be smart.

Awesome stuff :D

Vidocq is one heartless guy. Poor Galiko.

Lol'd at the reaction for the pic being fake and finding out Sio's boobs were not what he thought them to be. Reality XD

EPIC action with Sio protecting the ship. She's totally BA when she does things no one predicts :D Loved everyone's reaction to her being there on time and blowing a hole in the ship to protect it. That was some amazingly fast thinking! BA! And without Nobunaga's help this time. Thought seems she'll be using Nobunaga nxt ep :D

So the 2nd platoon meets the 1st platoon, but didn't get along really well. Vidocq should care on his comrades when they get hurt.

Damn, for a new recruit, Sio knows what's coming next, but then ended up getting hurt in the process. She should be the leader in this mission.

Next episode is going to be intense.

That was a better episode

Vidocq's coldheartedness was interesting and that battle was pretty awesome

Pretty hypocritical of Cyx to tell Nobunagun not to worry about others when she's obsessed with Geronimo :p

I hope someone saves Shio quickly

It seems like they reused this scene right here without editing out the commander.

Shes on the ship so why is she seen here?
Other then that, it was a nice episode.

Feints are a basic military tactic, and the only way to foil it is either information or guesses/counter-strategy. Sometimes when you're too focused on one thing (e.g. offense) you forget other aspects of the battle.

It does show that Sio is has a good sense of strategy though (just like Nobunaga - she's the only E-gene holder between them which had to deal with leading an army)

It was a good judgment to destroy that part of that ship so the EIO landmine type will pass through. Sio got nice battle instincts.

What happened to the whole "AU weapons only work on Evolutionary Objects" thing? If Nobunagun's shots couldn't touch the hull of a rusty antique ship (just last episode, I might add), how could they blow through the modern ship?

Poor Galiko though. The guys there.. so cold hearted. Especially Vidocq
Nice battle instincts Ogura. Some hesitation about telling them at the beginning when she realised what was going on.
That was some good and quick thinking.
Total badass right there.
Hope someone gets to her quickly, getting knocked out by flying debris.

That was an excellent maneuver. Then a debris comes flying out of nowhere and hits Shio smack in the face lmao. What's funnier is that while everyone was busy being impressed, it seemed nobody noticed Shio was sinking to the bottom of the ocean haha!

Vidocq's strategic plans were pretty awesome, though he was quite heartless this episode. Poor Galiko..
In a way, he was right as Jack said but still, he should be more concerned about his comrades.

First platoon got some actions going. Finally, they meet with second platoon..
Gaudi's reaction was funny comparing the photo and the real Nobunagun. XD

Both platoon joins to take down the battleship-class monster. The battle was great.
Badass Sio protects the ship but takes damage in process.. That was amazing!

I still don't get why this show has such low ratings. The action has been constant and the battles were well thought of. Who would've guessed Sio was going to shoot the ship's hull?

I also like how they show the risk that Galiko has when using those spy cams of hers.

Impressive, she was able to avoid the bomb by shooting part of the ship, didn't recognize at all what was she doing until she started shooting. Would never thought of that one. Looks like that octopus is gonna be a thorn to them for a while

Smarter, but still not *that* smart I guess. Unless the bug bomb is so sensitive to pressure that traveling in the water would set it off early, but that's pretty bad design too.

If it was launched underwater, they would have to adjust the angle a lot. It would either have to be a lot closer to launch, or a lot deeper. And it would just get the single chance with contact on the closest side. This way, if it somehow missed the railing, it would hit some other part. And, they had sonars active all along, so they would pick it up too. And there might've been some pressure differences while launching, if we go into actual 'missile' launches.

Ugh, I hate Geronimo and Cyx. I don't see the point of adding them to the show, they're just stinking up the place. I feel sorry for their toady, especially when he found out that Sio's boobs weren't what he thought they were.

Anyways ... nice fanservice at the beginning, followed by Videocq being a real jerk to poor Galliko. The Invasion Objects are getting smarter, fortunately Nobunaga's sense of tactics seem to be awakening in Sio as well. Nice idea destroying a chunk of the battleship to clear a path for the landmine to go sailing right through, though it seems a chunk of debris hit her in the head. Hopefully someone noticed and will fish her back out.

Obviously old glorious Nippon Steel is better than whatever those American Tin Cans are made from.

Glaring misinformation aside, it's cool to see the objects getting a lot smarter, but I wish this show had more of those flashes of thought from whatever person they're carrying in their E-Gene. It was cool to see Nobunaga all pumped up in her head that first episode.

Also, Galileo best girl.

I'm assuming it's a sign that she has Oda Nobunaga's intuition when it comes to battle strategy.

What are you talking about? In that very episode Newton blasted a hole through the floor of the ship with her ability.

Maybe I'm just forgetting something, since I took a break from the show after episode 7... but I can't find where they said it wouldn't work on anything but Evolutionary Objects. It would be kind of weird if they somehow had an actual "friendly fire mode"... physically if a bullet hits something iit would have to impact it one way or another. If tanks can't damage these creatures, but Nobunagun can... I would think she could damage a battleship.

4/5

Plot which continues its advance, the enemy seems to have an ace in the hole, not bad.
Storytelling with a hint of drama, followed by the usual fanservice, decent.
Drawings and animations good.
Usable in the whole episode.
Poor Galileo-chan!

Jack was spewing a bunch of crap. Yea you can get hurt or die,but sometimes in war ya gatta do something to lift your spirits. If not your just be a miserable lump even most likely to die.
