Wow, the two sides are really get into a clash.

I think White Light make their points pretty well especially Renge. Asuta also takes his stand too but then again, some people don't buy their thoughts. Seriously though, this episode escalated. Huge cliffhanger ;o

Oh damn, the government is on the move; destroying the Zvezda home, and taking out Goro, Roboko, and Natashi in the process. Smooth move Renge for betraying your comrades and joining with Asuta :D. Wow that ending scene didn't know he was some kind of terrorist organization from a long time.

Wow! Now this is really getting dark now.

Shit has gotten real!

Poor Roboko :(...Hope Goro stays alive.

Now Natasha is pretty much a goner too.

Renge has switched sides and Itsuka is with Kate...I really wonder what will happen nxt.

And I really want to know what's so special about Kate??? She's still a total mystery
and the way she said I didn't choose to be a kid indicates that she's actually older than she looks O_o??

Itsuka and Natasha's trust in just having her there is really something special. Hope it's attended to nxt

RengexAsuta is pretty much getting more canon by the second ^^

This episode was really really freaking intense. I have a feeling that kate is older than she looks and renge x asuta is pretty much confirmed.

Yasu did betray them and now.... looks like the remaining episodes will be very very interesting.

This Anime gets better and better, can't believe it started as Nonsense-Comedy.
Seems like I was right with Yasu betraying them.
Hopefully General Pepel and Proffessor Um didn't die, those are my favorite characters (Roboko should be able to be repaired). And Asuta x Renge seems to be canon now.

Looks like Asuta will get his Renge, and Kate will get her world conquest. Maybe a bittersweet ending incoming.

Zvezda is homeless now..

A meeting to declare war, though they're in a dangerous situation..

White Egret becomes the commander of White Light.
Kaori hates the Tokyo's governor? O.o

Assault begins. Goro and Roboko protects and fights off the soldiers, while the others escape..
Goro is captured.. Roboko isn't dead, I hope..

Kate's team walk into a trap. Renge switch sides with Zvezda! :)
What a plot twist! Asuta is basically abandoned by his father..
Did Natasha die too? :/

Next episode:

This episode was freaking amazing!

Things have gotten so crazy! I knew the governor was bad, but to put a hit on your own son...that's just. Why would Egret even do that anyways? She's grown up with Asuta and even though she teases him, I never thought she'd be okay with this.

I'm glad Renge switched sides. Yay for Asuta and Renge ending.

Damn you Yasu, if you had any part of this I don't think I could ever forgive you. I thought he would save Goro, but no. Even if he hates them, he should still have a strong bond with Goro. Why would he do this? I'm really hoping it turns out that he isn't evil or I'll be sad. Maybe he was a double agent the entire time....I'm glad they changed the ending, because my heart wasn't ready for Odin this week.

What a wonderful episode, and what a great misdirection they revealed.

During the first episode, when they showed the statue of Kate in the rubble, it was easy to assume that she helped cause the destruction of the world (or at least Japan, same thing :-), now we know that the world had already destroyed itself. This suggests that Kate is going to actually save the world (the shiny town beyond).

I think we are going to find out that the reason that West Udogawa was able to preserve its neutrality was not because of the government, or the White Light, but because of Kate; and that is what this conflict is really all about, the Tokyo government needing to seize Udogawa because its the last bit of Japan that is left intact.

As for Yasu, I still think he was the character at the start of episode 1 in front of the statue, this I believe is another misdirection, making us think it was Dva. So what we will learn is that Yasu really didn't betray Kate, he was suckered by the pretty girl last episode (this would play off of all those endings where he pretended to be the cool host, he is the exact opposite), and somehow will help in the end.

Been loving this show from the start, and it just keeps on getting better.

Jesus Christ this episode escalated pretty quick. Yasu is hinted (still not confirmed) a dang traitor (yeap it seems theories were correct but we still don't know).

And woah those commanders really don't give an f, eh? Dang that Egret, she mega-evolved into a whole other bitch. Seriously what's her issue? Propose issue aside it seems she hates Asuta for some past reason, her obsession is way too big, and his father has no issue with having him killed?

Something is definitely wrong there.

PS: Just realized Maaya Sakamoto was White Falcon, I did not recognize her at first, somehow she seemed more serious than usual.

Man, Renge's facial expressions after she took off her mask were great. A-1 did a good job on making everything dramatic. Ratings are stupid, but I don't think a 7.29 really does this show justice.

That's probably because a lot of people dropped and bombed the ratings because the first few episodes made it seem like it was "plotless.''

You wouldn't think that a series which started out as a random, light-hearted episodic comedy would have a serious all-out war scenario. Wow.

I still have some faith left in Yasu. I hope he just "borrowed" Galaktika. He's been useless and annoying the entire series, I really hope he does something awesome soon.

That PV. Death flag on Renge T___T

This was a good read.

Really does make you think that Kate's Sekai Seifuku-ing was responsible for all the destruction, huh?

But the guy at the beginning WAS Asuta, though. Same face, hair and everything. If we're talking bittersweet endings then I'm imagining he'll be the last one standing in Zvezda by the end (Mirai Nikki featured little kid killing so who knows).

EDIT: Then again the statue he was saluting was an older Kate. There is still hope that this is 2-cour (or split into two seasons).

I do still hold some hope for Yasu.

Yeah, but there are a lot of shows that were plotless, and yet were also well received in the first couple of episodes.

Seriously, in terms of comedy and production (storyboard, sound, editing, transitoning, flow, etc.), it really wasn't bad. While a lot of people are saying that it's only getting good NOW, I've always thought it was rather good to a degree.

I wonder if they want to conclude the series in 13 episodes? it would be a shame if series ended without any future seasons. I don't how it looks in novels.

It would be nice if first season ended with Kate defeating Asuta father and future season will be her conquering rest of the world.

Wow, I still can not digest the fact whether it is a nonsense or things which are seen, are really the series as the pictures show, the fact is that the episode and I like so much.
In the light of what is happening today, the previous episode while being a filler, however, assumes a different meaning, the fact is that beyond of what could be done better.
Narration sometimes funny and sometimes too serious and cruel, wow!
Plot yet to be deciphered, intriguing.
Good designs but not to the best of ability, discrete animations.

Damn it Zvezda, time to counter-attack!

I get the feeling he's gonna come back to Zvezda but still Pamlya should slice him up a lot so he learns.

Oh well.. at least we'll get more Asuta x Renge moment next episode. I wonder how they'll do now that they've known each other's secret identity.

This episode is so dark and heavy, I liked random-ish comedy stuff more, maybe keeping some balance like in ep8, which is my favourite so far

Now this is more in line with what I was expecting when I first started the show, regardless to say, I'm happy now! Even though a lot of the characters are getting gunned down... Also, Asuta's father is a jerk as well, he should be entered in the annual worst parent competition if there is one, competing against Ragyo naturally.

Anyway, the preview for the next episode was adorable, and I definitely ship it!
