| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great great episode, it delved deeper into the minds of the characters and explored a little of human behaviour. I'm glad if focused a lot on the character I think is my favorite in these series, Misa Hayase. |
 |
| Ah, great Focker flashback. Makes you wish the Macross Zero OVA was about that period of his life instead of the mediocre shit we got instead. Man, that OVA was such a wasted opportunity. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| We know that Hikaru is going to end up with Minmay, perhaps they'll kill Misa, I will be very surprise and happy if this doesn't happen. Was Focker only playing with black lady? It's seems like not but I have my doubts. |
 |
| Such a sweet and touching episode about Claudia and Focker love story. That's a really great change after the depressing end of the previous episode. |
 |
| Nice to see Focker back for a bit. He and Claudia had an awkward courtship, that's for sure. By the way, |
WTF?! Focker was so smooth (or retarded) that she went cross-eyed! |
Beatnik said: Ah, great Focker flashback. Makes you wish the Macross Zero OVA was about that period of his life instead of the mediocre shit we got instead. Man, that OVA was such a wasted opportunity. I completely agree with that. Anyway Hikaru's too damn dense... |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| It was great to hear about Focker, I really miss him... Hikaru can be a total jerk sometimes. Misa, you deserve a much better guy. |
 |
| Fantastic episode, this series is at it's best when Misa is the focus imo. I also like the Focker flashback. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I don't get why everyone's making Hikaru out to be the bad guy here. He's simply in love with someone else, and gets pissed when some bitch pulls rank to keep them separated. Misa was the one that needed to apologise, not him. Even if he went too far, his anger was righteous. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I hardly remembered that this little Focker flashback was so late in the series. It's nice to see that Misa and Hikaru are not the only ones who were a tad inmature. Focker could certainly teach todays wimpy harem anime characters a thing or two about keeping the ladies happy. |

| I like that I kept watching because of the Focker flashback. I don't like that the story went from "Hayase is a love interest" to "Hayase get's her heart broken and the pieces get stomped into tinier pieces". I like Minmay but I just like Hayase more, the ending of this episode was so nice and I bet he's sticking with Minmay anyway, it hurts :( |
 |
| The two under the umbrella at the end was a pretty strong hint that Misa is by no means out of the running. It's too bad that Claudia and Roy had such a tragic ending to their romance...they are two of my favourite characters in the show. |

| for me this makes up for the out of hand drama as of late |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| It's nice to have one of these laid back episodes to let the viewer in on the backstories of the characters. I'm a sucker for the whole romance development and since I have been rooting for Hikaru and Hayase, it was wonderful, uninterrupted development (finally!). I wish they would have shown the course of the night at Hikaru's place but I guess cut on the walk home has its charms as well. I was already drinking wine prior and during the episode and I feel like this might have been an unexpected perk while watching :) And while I do make my points seriously, having a little fun with these things is half the enjoyment so in regards to Major Focker: F*CKIN SWAGGGGGG |

| Best episode of the post-war arc so far. I dragged my feet through the last couple of eps but thankfully they cut to the chase with this one and focused on the one thing that's really keeping me watching. Just spit it out, you two. <3 |
| I need some splosions. Post-climax should not be this long and boring. I hope this is the tacked-on moneygrab I expect it is and they didn't actually plan to do this from the start. |
| This was a nice episode. Claudia is definitely one of the best friends you could get. Learning her relationship with Focker helped me to appreciate the both of them more, ah damn if only Focker didn't die. Looks like Hikaru and Misa made up? Hope they did. The idea that Misa might actually love him is now in his head. Let's see what he does. |
| Definitely the best episode of this second arc. It was nice seeing more on Focker and Claudia and finally focus a bit more on Misa, coincidentially, with the characters not acting like assholes. It also opens a chance for the series to redeem itself a little bit in this second arc. There's too much damage done to completely fix it, but it can be somewhat mended ... though the preview for the next episode is not exactly a good omen. |
 People need societies, but they don't necessarily need nations. - Yang Wen-li |
| I must say I am thoroughly disappointed that all robots were forsaken this episode. This vile emphasis on human drama leaves a sour taste in my mouth. For real though it was all nice character development, but effectively nothing happened in the main plot. That's the kind of shenanigans that got under my skin in Evangelion. |
 |
Definitely the best episode of this second arc. The best prt was obviously Claudia's love story. And now Hikaru got a confirmation, both characters made their excuses and everything is back to where it was at the "real finale". Except Minmei's realization of her feelings is higher than before and we have some stupid "sub-war". 4/5 |
| Cute episode,also liked that we got to know more about Roy. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What a great and bittersweet episode. |
 |
| Hikaru in this episode reminded me a lot of Makoto from School Days. What an asshole. And that part where he was trying to act like a player was cringeworthy af. But at least he mellowed down by the end of the episode. But yeah, aside from that, this was definitely the best episode from this travesty of an arc, thanks to Claudia and Roy's backstory. |
| Aw this episode wasn't bad at all! This made me miss Focker a whole bunch too! Him and Claudia are a way more appealing couple than Hikaru and Misa or Hikaru and Minmay imo Speaking of Misa, it kinda bothered me that Hikaru apologized to her, but she never apologized to him. They both owed each other apologies, and her missing so many opportunities to do so bugged me a ton. Them agreeing to have tea kinda implies she does eventually apologize and that they come to an understanding later that night, but it would've be nice for that to be explicitly shown. |
| I really loved the flashback Focker is still missed. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Nice episode. Glad we got to see more of Focker. |
| What happened to Kamujin? Did he manage to escape so that Hikaru returned? He looked so laid back as if nothing had happened. Some mistakes in hair color of a minor character during Claudia's flashback lol (the girl Focker was giving a ride to). Other than that, nice episode, purely personal, I quite liked it. By the way, I think it was the first time Misa called Hikaru by his name. |

| This episode broke me. |
| What a great episode, I'm really glad we got to see more of Focker and Claudia's past. |
Hilarious how EZ Claudia was for the young Roy Focker to seduce. One drunken monologue (how many times ya think he's pulled this ? XD) and all sins of philandering are washed away like rain.  Not even hating the player~ he just knows how to play 'em, gotta respect it |
