Utter waste of a potentially good episode. Did they really need to fall so low and make the whole episode about sitting there waiting for the darn phone to ring and not being able to go to the bathroom…? And, also, throw in there random fan service moments? That’s just disappointing.

Yumina sure has a thing for cosplaying…
Rio talking to her father (I’m assuming that’s him) must mean something, and I think it got some conection to Iliya’s mission; I hope they get to the plot.

I've been wondering for a while. The Master Sergeant Rio plays like the girl (we believe to be the princess) that Kanata heard before. What if she is the princess in disguise? Who knows.

Kind of meh episode after ep7. Kanata was pretty cute throughout, but nothing more than that. The ending was both funny and sad though.

After ep7.5 and this I can safely say the creators have some weird ways to put in weird fetishes in the anime :S

I agree that it was probably her dad calling. I'm interested in what he meant, hopefully something more serious.

How to get people's hopes up and crush them? See episode 8 for instructions. Seriously, what a waste of time.

I hope the authors were just being stupid and random and not trying to satisfy some weird fan fetish (a year ago the idea would not even have come to mind but having watched some very bad anime I am now quite suspicious).

Another thing, isn't Kanata a bit too simple minded for her age? At that point it ceases to be funny and becomes somewhat disturbing.



True. I was looking forward to watching this anime, now It's just become annoying and stupid. I am only not dropping because I keep saying "it's gonna get better" and then it kind of does, (like ep 7) and then they make an entire episode about a freaking phone call!!! WTF???

Stop it Kanata, stooop. She's too irresistibly adorable, especially when she lights up and smiles.

Another fun episode, the ending was hilarious when Filicia is like "you're so spoiled" and they pick Kanata up. No luck for her cause she missed the phone call too, which apparently has now raised a bigger question - who is the man on the phone?

This is honestly the most frustrating anime I've ever seen. They have an interesting world set up, a likable enough cast, and glimpses of brilliance (ep 7), but they keep wasting time instead of getting to the damn plot already. They've had more than enough episodes for character introductions, but they spend 95% of this episode going nowhere.

I'm not going to say this episode wasn't entertaining, since it was charming enough, if not kind of weird at the end, but this show could honestly be brilliant if it just finally stopped wasting time. We're already eight episodes in! They've got only four left to finally tell the damn story they've been building up to already.

Yeah after watching episode 8, it doesn't feel anywhere close to the finale. I mean that in a good and bad way esp. how some people pointed out already we're 8 episodes in and only hinted that war might resume again if the peace talks keep breaking down further. Kanata hella fucking kawaii in that dress and I love her adorable personality. I think I'll call her from now on Steki-chan because she loves using that word.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

The moe and seriousness isn't mixing well for me. It's hard to take the drama seriously when we have cute girl antics going on. That's not to say I'm not enjoying the show though.

Kanata is so simple and dutiful i love it
in terms if maturity - i cant place her age and it obviously seems to be a different world/society so the behavioral expectations are definitely different in this little world

i think this series is best if you try not to take it too seriously - its cute and funny, so just leave it at that

>making an episode about waiting for a phone call and holding it in



Seriously though, this was the dumbest, most immature, most cringeworthy, most unfunny and most flat-out pointless anime episode I've seen since Infinite Stratos season 2 episode 6.

Kanata is fucking stupid as well. There was a bucket right there, for Christ's sake...! She even noticed it, why the fuck didn't she use it?!

The whole thing was pointless. There was no reason for water to get spilled on the clothes other than for her to have to wear an overly-cutesy dress or some shit.

Not to mention, the whole thing was rendered moot because Rio was the one who ended up answering the phone anyway. If it was absolutely necessary that she be the one who pick up the phone, why couldn't they have had Kanata fall asleep or something as justification?

I may give a lot of negative criticism to K-On, but at least it never pulled anything like this!

So we got an insultingly stupid, boring, unfunny and immature shaggy dog story, and for what? Just so we would get to see some idiot girl in an overly-cutesy dress trying not to piss herself as a form of moe moe fanservice bullshit. Blow me.

And of course, the people at Sankaku Complex just ate it up like the dog shit it is. I know that place isn't exactly a bastion of intelligence, but still. Fucking hell.



There's nothing wrong with following up a plot-heavy episode with a semi-filler comedic episode. The first Fullmetal Alchemist anime, for all its flaws, did this. Code Geass did this.

However, at least those episodes had some good character moments and their placement made sense within the narrative. They contributed more to the story rather than just pointless filler besides 30 seconds of plot at the very end. They weren't immature and cringeworthy to watch.

You can't have an episode about the horrors of war, showing what happened in the backstory which made most of the world an uninhabitable post-apocalyptic wasteland, as well as having a dead corpse speak to a character who is about to commit suicide from despair, and then follow it up with an episode about a girl wearing an overly-cutesy dress trying not to piss herself, that's horrible storytelling!

1/5

All about waiting phone call. Kanata can pee at the restroom since it is very low probability that the call will happen while peeing. Its just 30 seconds!

Feels 😂

I've gone this far hoping something interesting would happen... I've given up hope but I might as well finish. A few funny moments. I'll just accept this purely as a SoL anime without any action or music now. (Unless some wild shit happens in the next ep)

Kanata looked cute in that dress.

Whoever was behind this episode must really have a pee fetish (myself included). ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That phone call was interesting. Sounds like shit is going to get serious soon.

I lol'd when Noel was found sleeping in the bathroom.

A slower episode, but I quite liked it. It had some funny moments and Kanata was super cute.

Another fun episode like the previous one (7.5, I mean). Kanata is on telephone duty.

Rio apparently has a fanbase. Oooooh, waifu, waifu!~ Her convo with the person on the phone has piqued my curiosity.

Hopefully Kanata was able to not have an accident if you know what I mean
