belatkuro said: Yeah I though so too about the spider tank until I saw it still did have its legs....I also did not even see the slightest clue as to if they had all the parts for its legs.....I do think they mentioned something about getting the spare parts....but from where or will they get the right ones....they did mention 2 types in the anime of spider tanks: Vector ones and Vector Zero (ones with missiles on them).LOL i thought the Spider Gundam would crawl the cliff to rescue them...instead they fired the main cannons(which people would want to shout at least once in their life XD)...With 4 eps left, who knows what will happen... |

| Another terrible episode. How many times do we have to rely on those dumb children doing something in order to advance some banal sense of drama? That's why I hate children in shows, movies, etc. They're always a crutch for weak writers. It's a shame that during the first few minutes I thought, "This music and art (excluding the hideous character design) is undeserving of this horrible show." |
kisami said: ok...so what is this show about again? This. God, I somehow managed to not fall asleep... people say that this show reminds them of K-ON! because of similiar art... though for me it's rather that both of them are dull and boring. If it wouldn't be 9th ep already, I guess I'd dropped it after this ep. |
     |
| Sure is pantsu. Unnecessary fanservice. Also who the fuck sleeps in thigh highs? Seems it's only getting worse every ep. |
| Mmm, a seasoned slice-of-life watcher would enjoy this show a lot. Like me. Even though I was hoping for a war/drama story every episode. It's enjoyable as long as you don't take it seriously. So many nonchalant panty shots. And wtf @ Noel sucking Kanata's finger? Too heavy of a fanservice for me. At least for this show. |
| - |
| Those questions you ask, Shattered...that's the similarity to K-On. On top of that all the characters, besides Noel, are copy paste archetypes from K-On (Rio and Mio are fairly disparate) and the fact that people are inordinately enamored with the show despite its lack of content, continually justifying it for the most minute details. |

| This anime more and more resembles of an old Russian Novel "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" which was made in to a movie in 1972. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawns_Here_Are_Quiet ) and then in to a 19-episode serial by Chinies in 2005. A similar scenario with 5 young girls and one old Sergeant. |

It's enjoyable as long as you don't take it seriously. I would have to agree that if you dont take this show seriously then it is actually quite enjoyable I enjoy the slice of life genre and this particular slice of life anime doesnt seem to have a ton of exaggerated drama, which makes it all the more enjoyable as a slice of life Starbrow said: This anime more and more resembles of an old Russian Novel "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" which was made in to a movie in 1972.

| Search and rescue... Would've been better if it was a search and destroy mission. Another letdown with episode 8 after the awesome episode 7. |
| I always said that there's no anime with girls that not show any ecchi or suggestive scenes of it. Even SNW didn't escape. Just one note about this whole ecchiness: Noel outfit was really awesome! ^^ I liked this episode more in general than any specific part of it. The plot was well developed in my opinion and the end was nice. As for the next episodes: I don't think that'll be tragic scenes and a lot of deaths, I only thing that they'll must protect Seize from a attack in the last episde or maybe one before it and they'll use the tank to protect the city, they'll win and the enemies will flee, no deaths in my opinion. |

| Great and lovely episode. (however, if you do not like this show, believe: you have some problem). |

| I'm enjoying it and hating it at the same time, I want to continue watching mundane and normal stuff but I also want some more serious stuff to happen, at least each episode we get a little more info on what happening in their world. |

Not very amusing idea. I would have to agree with ringoo4 on this topic as this anime appeals primarily to fans of the slice of life genre, if one doesnt enjoy this genre then one would probably not enjoy this anime either. Im not saying this because I dont like the show, I actually enjoy it quite a bit. but i certainly dont think everyone would enjoy this show. I forgot to mention earlier that Noel was quite moe in this episode, especially in the scene with the bug. |

Even worse.I love the Slice of Life genre, but I don't like this show. It's bad. |
| Episode was more Strike Witches than usual. |

ringoo4 said: mel said: Yes, aim the anchor directly at the rescuers ^I approve this. Me too. The whole honorable scar thing was a bit... eh. This show is suppose to be very moe so i believe that might be the most drama we'll get. By the way; Has Kanata practiced at all to be able to play like that? I only remember the one episode where they visit the glass smith... Personally i don't think it is that bad of a show. I don't laugh or find it interesting... Yet the show isn't 'completely' boring. We do get the slice of life messages too sometimes. (Unless we are talking about last episode.) Would like to see the damn message. |
| So, we're defending the anime, from a person thinking that color might be symbolic? Like this episode wasn't fanservice-y at all and discussing color symbolism doesn't have any art credibility? Right. Thanks internet. |

| Decent episode, though not one of the best for this show francismeunier said: Ok this is really disturbing if Claus only got this as a honorable wound....means I don't think he saw any combat at all=> Took that as meaning, he thinks of that wound as his most honorable one because it's one that he got saving someone who looked up to him. Even if he hadn't seen any combat, he's seeing the fact that Kanata looking up to him is a honorable thing that he's going to work to live up to. Rio playing her trumpet was amusing. |

Bastion said: Yes, I agree with you about the way he takes that wound...I was just saying what was up in my mind at that time seeing at that time for the first Claus was not as experienced as a major normally would in his rank category.Decent episode, though not one of the best for this show francismeunier said: Ok this is really disturbing if Claus only got this as a honorable wound....means I don't think he saw any combat at all=> Took that as meaning, he thinks of that wound as his most honorable one because it's one that he got saving someone who looked up to him.

| Okay episode. :\ Noel. <3 |
| Where is my kissu? T-T |
| That ending was quite shocking, I wonder what will happen next and if anyone died.. The ED sounded totally wrong after that shot btw. >__> And good thing I'm Dutch, Germany is our neighbour so I understood most of the German! |
| Rio's trumpeting was amazinggggghnnggg D'aww at pigtails. She was cute in this episodee. Oh and that Noel scene. So damn adorable <3 |

| ...I forgot what I wanted to say, after seeing the first page discussion about pantsu. x__X |

| I absolutely loved this episode, I thought it had very good character chemistry, and the action and suspense was quite well done. I am a Kureha fan, so it was nice to see her get the spotlight on an episode for once. |
| Decent episode. Fan service was a bit over-used. Noël was moe~ Takemikazuchi’s finally put to use, I just hope it’s not the last time. There are just three episodes left, is there any hope for seeing the war? All they’ve been doing is give tidbits of plot… |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Only good thing about this episode was Noel. |
 |
| Good episode XD Rio's jazz trumpet thing was EPIC LOL |
| Agree, would've been better if he died, but still a great conclusion to the episode regardless. xD |
 |
| If he died, it would be better. But hes a hero none the less! Who needs miracle Klaus! |

| Good episode, we get more seriousness after the previous one. As sad it may sound, it really would have been better if he died like a hero. Oh well, he was still nice I guess. Only a few episodes left, I hope something military and plot-like will happen. So much foreshadowing. Also, it really was her dad who called. Wonder what's this all about. I would also like to know more about the trumpet girl, Iliya or whoever. |
 |
| Rooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaar. I'm not into this a whole lot. |
 |
| I don't think having Claus die would have made this episode any better TBH, it would just have created forced drama for a character who has gotten more or less only one episode of screen time. I thought it was a nice touch subtlety showing that Kureha knew that this was a different Claus, from the lack of the tattoo. On the other hand, this show keeps inching its way towards a plot, with only three episodes to go! The last three episodes better be mind-blowing, or they've wasted tons of potential and build up here. |
 |
| Didn't really enjoyed this one but well let's see what's next! |
 |
| Short-term a character death here may have been a good idea, but in hindsight, no. That would be giving this episode too much significance when it wasn't meant to be standoff-ish |
| yikes i havent had many complaints about this anime but the fanservice made me so uncomfortable with the finger sucking and the panty shots yikes yikes yikes but besides that it was really good and intense and interesting |
 |
| Back to the inoffensively bland. That pajama fanservice really was very unnecessary. At least this didn't give me PTSD like the last episode. 2/5 argilium said: haha.. good episode.. cute PJ's.. kanata was so cute.. and Noel, too.. Francis, the pantsu are not erotic.. they're cute.. don't defile them.. also, it's good to see that Kureha knows that Claus is not Miracle Claus because she saw his chest does not have a tattoo but still end up being the person he admires coz she was saved by him.. that's more worth it than a person he has not personally seen before.. as i said from last week, i enjoy the forums of this anime coz i get to see murderers who want violence and people dying.. what's the point in making everything dramatic and make him die if you are expecting it anyway.. anyway, this week's message is "Most of the time, what you think you see in the person and what they're feeling are different. Admiring someone always makes your vision blurry. Someday, when you're looked at in that way, you'll understand." .. this applied both to rio and claus.. not really a powerful message this time but it's something to remember for me.. so again, no plot.. but hell i care now.. i did not designate this show for that.. The problem with the previous episode wasn't that it didn't have any action or drama, since I didn't really expect it to begin with considering that this show is, in the end, a slice-of-life moe anime. However, I do expect some relative consistency in terms of tone. An episode about the horrors of war and an episode about someone trying not to piss themselves were consecutive episodes, and yet they're in opposite sides of the maturity spectrum. Also, "pantsu" means "underwear" in English. Please remember that. |
