Lol, Puck is silly in this show.

Looks like the Planetary Gears are attacking again in team waves. Moco was awesome this episode. I still like Akari better though when it comes to hacking. Happy Mahou Shoujo :)

Not bad at all. This gives me hope for the future. I wonder if the Kiltgang who are influence by humans so much will willing destroy their ego blocks of their own free will. Also it seems they may all finally attack. I wonder if it will be Akira's turn to awakened to be a neoteny?

What is there to learn? There are quite a few people who enjoy their style and this show is targeted at them, not at trying to be the next blockbuster.

The Salty Dog one-san is hawt but as stupid as everyone in her organization.

Akari's belly button 4th wall breaking. LOL. We all know you're the glue that keeps the team together.

Damn dude, double transformation sequences this week, guess they didn't have much to fill the time of the episode, oh well.

Yes Akari, Daichi and Teppei want to pork.

LOADS of sillyness this episode. I didn't mind it. Nothing spectacular, nothing bad really, action was not too exciting but it was alright.

Cup Phones... I will never get over how stupid that looks, what were they thinking with that? Lol

That's the point of Operation Summer pal.

Ok that aside, the fanservice and seldom lulzy moments, we can see that things are slowly but surely escalating in a dangerous way. Salty Dog is being more aggerssive and persistent in their plans and are going full offensive. The same is true with the Planetary Gears as Amara suggests a real bold plan to launch a full assault attack.

Things are becoming more badass D:

New Salty Dog deputy is pretty good looking, but her attitude doesn't match up.

Even if Akari doesn't show any skin, she's still the best heroine! I missed that "Belly Button Forte" though. :p

Puck probably wants to build his personal harem. Not bad for a deceiving machine!

Battle scene was awesome, mostly because of Akari. If she hadn't been there, Daichi and Teppei would've faced a major injury. Her special attack spell was amazing!

Good episode. I think Setsuna is probably having second thoughts about attacking the Earth all out. I still hope she turns good somehow..

This episode felt like it went by really fast for some reason...

I think Amara had the right idea, attacking all at once would probably help them with their goals a bit faster. But since it takes awhile for Setsuna to fill the capsules, it probably won't be for a few more episodes. That way they can spend time dealing with Salty Dog. Who is becoming more and more villainous...

Also, Puck is getting all the ladies!

Belly Button Forte is so powerful it ended up breaking the 4th wall!

Yeah that was so weird and felt out of place :/

Wow how long did that Earth Engine and Nebula Engine sequence take? Didn't really feel like anything moved forward in this episode, except for the fact that possibly the next time the designer children go into kiltgang mode they may all go at once.

So the earth engine has the ability to shut down other enemy units, and they're bringing it up now? Plus the forced fan-service that was all in your face, and the dumb fourth-wall joke... this show's writing is horrible.

They did not do that before because Akari did not have a way to hack into them. After Malkin hacked, there was a trace she could follow to hack them. Writing made perfect sense, your vision and understanding need the fixing here buddy.

that is still no excuse as to why they never mentioned it before, even if she couldn't hack the system, if the earth engine had that kind of capability it should have been mentioned from the beginning of the series, and even if I am wrong about that it still doesn't justify everything else wrong with the series.

Did they really have to show the whole expansion sequence for both? Cmon, we know how it works. Btw, they run on Python and connect via USB.

The belly button forty was interesting. Given that it was just a few seconds breaking the fourth wall, and it was done by Akari, it's okay. Who's a good girl? Yey, you are!

The fan service at the beginning was extremely forced. I don't mind fan service, but that shot from behind while the one girl was bending over was really just for the sake of it. Even the swimming and stuff was partially justfied, given that the people are stationed for months/years in orbit, and Hana obviously did have lots of free time. But the rest..oh well.

Salty Dog is stupid as ever..though at least that one guy acknowledged that the Midsummer Knights managed to buy time. They still want to kill them apparently, despite not having anything capable of stalling the kiltgang.

Not that the kiltgang are any wiser. After attacking with two at once at the most, and usually only one, Amarok finally had the idea to attack all at once. Wonder why he didn't suggest "let's attack as 3 next time, after all, the enemy has exactly 3 engines, so they can stop us all" *weird pause with everyone staring* *facepalm*

And why don't they ever attack try to attack the orbital stations? They could even try to sabotage the connection while on Earth.

At least Siren looks like she could develop into an interesting character.

Somehow, this show manages to be interesting and extremely stupid at the same time.

Oh, so the people who have had their Orgone energy absorbed only fell into a coma? The Kiltgang make it sound like they're cannibalistic, but they seem no different from Goku asking the world for their "life force".

Will this show will ever have a proper character death besides Daichi's dad? I doubt it.

She interfered with their controls and also retook the satellites from them. They lost control of the unmanned interceptors via a backdoor by the kiltgang, i.e the kiltgang hacked them, how did she get it back the intercepts if she in turn didn't do the same?

Hana best girl of the episode, all 2 minutes of her!

The rest was alright... I guess..... Given this was a battle episode with nothing much else in between, I guess I could live with it. When they try to give this story some semblance of a plot, that's when most of the bad stuff comes out.

Belly Button forte at the viewers? I get the feeling that it's outlived its usefulness. Might as well just get Hana to go skinny dipping instead :P

And finally! What a GREAT PLAN! Attack them with ALL 6 Kiltgangs! Why the hell didn't ANYONE think of that for the last 17 episodes?!?!?! Round of applause to Team Rocket please.

You should watch Flamenco before saying that.

This was not the worst at all. Samumenco was like a stand-up show with superheroes tropes everywhere. Even the characters were not taking it seriously anymore at the point of starting to talk undirectly to the people in the "crowd"(us) just like a theater comedy.

Akari breaking the fourth wall, lol.

Boy I can't wait for the episode where Earth, Nebula, and Flare Engines launch at the same time. That'll be a lot of stock footage.

I love the look on the Salty dog woman's face. Boasting that cerberus is the best, then suddenly the enemy takes control of their new toy. Priceless.

good episode, the series is nothing groundbreaking but i have enjoyed every episode, which is all that matters.


really like the character design of that salty dog inspector


earth and nebula fighting together was cool. unortunately battle sequences have been rather short so far but i guess that will change with the next episodes.


while the expansion sequence is cool after seeing it so often it takes too long especially if it is more than just the earth engine impacter



also calling it now. earth nebula and flare combination for the final battle powered by hana's singing

so the unmanned impacters can be considered as useless
