| The scene with Tessa was excellent. I'm surprised something so good came from this fake love-interest angle (there was never any chance that Sousuke would be attracted to Tessa). I like that she got genuinely angry with him and didn't immediately regret it. Unfortunately, the rest of the episode was pretty terrible. This new character did nothing but play out shonen fighting anime cliches. Suddenly our badass hero who's prevailed in (almost) every circumstance before, including taking out a big scary villain at the end of the first series, is a sloppy weakling. What now? We going to spend episodes on him learning to be a better robot pilot? Sound fascinating. The new character delivering samurai cliche lines like "the weapon is an extension of the soldier's body" made it all the worse. The only upside is the scene where he and Mao talk and Sousuke's failure is connected to the stiff nature of his life in general. |
| Fuck you Tessa, fuck you. How dare you raise your voice to Sagara! You got the audacity to speak to him like that! LOL Anyways, another amazing episode! |
 |
| Man, I feel sooo bad for Sagara D=. |

| This was another amazing episode. Sagara has a lot on his mind so it's understandable how he was defeated. 5/5 Hoping there's a kiss scene. It would be so awesome after sitting through the first and second season with little romantic development. |
 |
| I hate Tessa, such a selfish bitch. |
 |
| Tessa being jealous... xD The new captain is badass yet I can sense some sensitivity... No Kaname =( 4/5 |
 |
| Damn what an episode... the commander acting like that and then this new dude who looks like a total jerk but is quite skilled well things sure are developing nice but the events happening are quite impacting to the story! |
 |
| The feels, the action and the character development. My gassh. This season is somewhat of an emotional roller coaster ride. From the kaname's feelings of lost, tessas 'jealousy', souskes 'moping' and the new leader of SRT. |
 |
| Tessa is such a petty little shit, she KNOWS she doesn't have a fricking chance, she KNOWS how Sousuke feels about Kaname (damaged, emotionally constipated Sousuke), and yet she screams at him and cries because he doesn't wanna bang her? Frick this, I hate her. That isn't love, bitch. That's an obsessive, weak ass crush. She'd BETTER feel guilty, little bitch. > > I get where the new lieutenant was coming from, still wouldn't surprise me if by the end of all of this Sousuke is like f u to the entire Mithil organization and goes home to Kaname. I know that's what I would do. :x |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| Remembering this episode after years. I think it was one of the best episodes of the series. The moment when Sousuke talks with his new superior and doesn't understanding why he was defeated, with that sad soundtrack... I just wish KyoAni made another season with this quality. |
| Dayum, Teletha was straight up GARBAGE this episode! ;D Well she never had a chance anyway, but that certainly was the last nail in the coffin. I like the new guy, who it turns out saved them in Sicily. He gave Sousuke quite the nicely animated sparring session, and some good advice. Back to Kaname next. |
| Solid episode, compared to the first half it's really starting to feel like I'm watching art unfold. Not sure how I feel about Tessa though, she was right about some points but she's taking it way too perosnal. I'm liking the new Lieutenant. |
 |
| damn that was depressing being used like that |
 |
| Just give Tessa the D she wants so badly, Sousuke! hehe |
| Tessa is honestly such a shit, pointless character that any melodrama around her and her feelings for Sousuke simply does not work. She was making some good points at first, but ultimately just devolved into throwing a temper tantrum cos Sousuke doesn't really care about her (and why would he, when they almost never interact in anything other than a professional capacity?). I've kinda just realised at this point that I don't give a damn about anything whatsoever involving Mithril, it's by far the most tedious part of the entire show to sit through and adds almost nothing to the overall experience. I liked it much better when it was more or less a framing device for Sousuke doing soldier things in school and public in general, rather than being the exclusive focus of the show: every episode without Kaname is thoroughly mediocre at best. |
| McAllen was their team leader? I thought that was Melissas job? I dont think I have ever even seen him in a mech. This season has all the developement I would have expected to have happened in season 1. Not very professional from the captain. Just how big is Mithril actually? |
