Whiskers said: I was waiting for Kureha to turn to Kanata and say "embarressing remarks are not allowed".Noel is hilarious. :D So, yes, love-love for this episode. Enjoyed it very much. Thank gawd they didn't end the episode with fanservice. Okay, maybe I was in ARIA mode or something when I watched this, but... Kanata sounded a lot like Akari to me, Kureha like Aika, and Filicia as Alicia. Srsly. Possibly Rio as Akira. Noel is too talkative to be Yuki Nagato. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| I'm still a little stuck on how Kanata mastered the trumpet so quickly. When I first started the trumpet, it took me a decent while to build up a higher range and a lot longer than that to get the strong, beautiful tone she somehow mysteriously possesses. |
| Don't watch this show when you're tired - unless your goal is to fall asleep. Still, all in all a decent episode. |
 |
| At least they completed the field trip. |

spleen1013 said: I would first gather to think she was playing on it the bugle (which is what she has) since she saw the bugler in a flashback. Probably had some lessons from her also. So isn't with some basic. The problem was she was forcing the notes had some high pressure on her embushore with, as you can stated, can produce bad intonation and cracked notes (as an ex-drum corps marcher, I can attest to that).I'm still a little stuck on how Kanata mastered the trumpet so quickly. When I first started the trumpet, it took me a decent while to build up a higher range and a lot longer than that to get the strong, beautiful tone she somehow mysteriously possesses. When she was told to relax her body, especially around the fact and shoulder as practically all my brass instructors have told us, she was able to reduce the pressure on her lips and could play the notes correctly. And with her having perfect pitch she was able to focus in on the tone. I do agree that the transformation was to fast, even for someone with the basics but we are talking about a bugle so all she had to work with were open note partials (below staff C, G, C, E, & G). Not really a lot of notes to work with. Rio, OTOH, had a three valve trumpet and had the full range. (btw, I have played on a military bugle, valve-rotor bugle, two- and three-valve bugle-baritone and contra as well as a variety of other brass instruments) |

| The trip fillar was exiting. The series are almost halfway through and I'm starting to wonder if there will be any plot. |

francismeunier said: I looked it up. The US military rucksack, full-loaded and weight distributed, is about 120 pounds (http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,FL_ruck_022304,00.html). From the look of what they girls had, it's definately more than 120 pounds, and it seemed to have been loaded on the bottom. I would agree with your estimates.ukonkivi said: At least 300 pounds or maybe 200. Let's assume twice the weight of those girls.I have to know how much those things weigh. |

Aren't they supposed to be able to to at least that if they've joined the miltary? ಠ_ಠ I think Kureha is rather triggerhappy. ヽ(´Д｀ヽ) So there has been some pretty devastating war there, eh? ( ﾟ,_ゝﾟ) Oh well~ Om nom nom So, this episode in a nutshell? Stupid and senseless stuff combined with some beautiful scenery, I wonder if we'll ever get anything else? Oh and for some reason, Rio looks pretty badass with those gloves on (ﾟ⊿ﾟ) Dunno.. There's just something about them gloves... ( ﾟ ｰ ﾟ) |

Oosran said: Standard military packs, fully loaded, is about 120 pounds. Fully balanced. These packs were neither. They looked over 200 and were bottom heavy and unevenly balanced so even the best military troop would have a difficult time carrying it. Add to it that these girls looked to be no more than 100 pounds wet.

I'm a bit confused like this.. each symbol alone is Kureha and Noel, but both together they are Kanata??? Or am I wrong. Because it does seem odd that they would only put Kureha and Noel's name on the wall, unless the creators are just showing that those two have been there before. |

| Enjoyed this episode, it was cute and funny. I hope there'll be more about No-Man's Land and the tank, because I think the history seems pretty interesting, and it'd be nice to have some drama and action. |

Because it does seem odd that they would only put Kureha and Noel's name on the wall, unless the creators are just showing that those two have been there before. The Japanese on the wall doesn't correspond to Kureha or Noel at all. There has been a lot of evidence suggesting that Kanata's home is havily based on Japanese culture. So it would make sense that Kanata signs her name in Japanese, while Kureha and Noel, not raised in Japanese-based culture, sign their name with Roman letters. Make sense? OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I thought it was the subber, putting in an english translation next to it.. thank you so much for the explanation Thalandor46! |

| It was very entertaining and good episode. While it lacks plot, I enjoyed these few beautiful scenes. |

| I have been enjoying the series to an extent. But what I really enjoyed about this one, is that it mixed well it's military theme with a slice of life, so far this series wasn't really doing that. Perhaps things are finally going to pick up. |

| Even if the plot is still nowhere to be seen, this episode was the most enjoyable until now. The settings were beautiful, the art is really amazing. Noël~ She’s warming up~ Pro Fessor Kanata’s the only too idiotic to fall into such a simple trick. I wonder… Kanata said she doesn’t know to read ideograms, but she writes her name in kanji…? What the…? |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |

| Haha good episode! The part where Rio was demonstrating the proper way to carry a heavy bag was hilarious! xD |
 |
| In my opinion, this was probably the best episode of the series =P. She didn't have to steal their stuff! What an asshole! |
