Guess Tessa is a whispered too. :| personally, i am very very tired of love triangles. |

| Don't know how far Tessa's going to pursue Sousuke though, since she's his commander after all. Wouldn't she try to keep a professional relationship between them and restrict her feelings for him? Anyway this eps was meant to be quite intense, I imagine, but I found it rather boring (and Tessa was being rather useless). But Kurz finally got to do something at least. |
 |
| Dammit Tessa, you don't just say that to the protagonist's would-be girlfriend! |
| for whatever reason, I always favored Tessa in the triangle. Probably because Kaname gets on my last nerve and is tsundere to the extreme. I enjoyed the episode though and was kind of surprised how intense it got. Was really wondering about Melissa's safety at first. |
 |
| hum.... hard choice.... |
| Tessa for the win :D |

| Starting to get bored of this anime. The humor was funny in the beginning, but now it is just growing old. |

| that thing was huge and all it could do was shoot some kind of gun from its head.. hahahaha... anyway.. uh oh.. looks like chidori's got some competition.. hahaha |
| I wonder who will get Sousuke in the end......probably Kaname |
 |
| You know you guys, there is a much more pressing matter at hand rather than the love triangle. That being that a gigantic Godzilla sized robot was taken down by a shot to the groin. And just when I thought I saw everything in anime... |
  |
| Yet another love triangle. The problem with them is that in the end only two things can happen. Either one girl ends up with him and the other is crushed(which is sad) or he doesnt end up with either of them(which is lame). All I can do is continue to root for Chidori. |
| This arc was a huge step down from the first one, which was actually really good. I've never really been a fan of Tessa, so I could really care less for her part in this story. I thought the "villains" in this arc weren't that great as well. |

| Lol, I thought she fell in love with the behemoth kid for a second. |
| Love triangle. No surprise there. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Yeah probably the only good thing I got out of this ep is that I have more respect for Kurz. |
| I for one don't care about the love triangle, I was more concerned with the awesome mecha fight. But hey that's just me. |
 |
| I thought this episode was great, even if the characters of this plot, in the end, weren't really that good. Anyway, I just hit the mid-point of the series, I expect good things yet. |
 |
| Hmm Yeah this episode was kinda boring too imo, the fight was supposed to be really big, but it kinda ended in 1 shot? I donno what everyone else hates about it, but i think the Love Triangle between Tessa, Kaname & Sousuke will be interesting, even though its pretty obvious that Kaname will end up with Sousuke since Tessa is Sousuke's commander. Ahh well i'm still enjoying this series, looking forward to episode 13 !  |
| the way how the mecha fight ended is a bit silly, the mecha designers fault i guess however, the ending for the "sister and brother" looks fine |
| good end of arc... yeah a love triangle is overdone in anime... but oh well... what was so awesome was the action and the FREAKIN GIANT MECH. |
  |
| Well, if they create a mecha that big, of course it has to have some kind of flaw/weakness. Or it's up against super-mechas. |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| Lol it's been a while since I've seen a love triangle, anyways that was bold of Tessa never expected that from her. I dunno why everyone is getting tired of it I feel it's still awesome. |
 |
| No complaints about a love triangle here... Just adds more angles to the story. |
| The whole arc was kind of dumb. The villains act like angry children, acting purely out of spite and being swayed by a few minutes talking to someone "nice". They may be disaffected and young, but they act more like toddlers than teenagers (not the mention that only the fake brother and sister seemed to be teenager; everyone else is a full-grown man). It makes the whole thing feel rather childish. I know this series is marked "shounen" but right now it feels like it's being aimed at really little kids. Love triangles are usually an annoyance because they're usually dishonest storytelling; given that the first eight episodes try to develop a romance between Sousuke and Kaname I don't believe for a second that Tessa actually has a chance. So the triangle is just a distraction, something for the show to chew on endlessly rather than advance the actual story. |
| More like it's aimed at high school kids, hence why they're in high school, and all miraculously in high school age ranges. I know if I watched this in high school I'd totally dig the anime for what it's worth. I mean, dat fanservice with a rather serious scene in the last arc was nice with Kurz eyeballing Kaname. Right now this love triangle just seem like fodder for more repetitive gags with Sousuke's lack of common sense and Kaname's violent and insecure tsundere behaviour. Not sure if I'll actually enjoy Fumoffu at this point. If they just do rinse and repeat with tsundere Kaname, ditzy Tessa, and nonsensical Sousuke, it will seem more like annoyance than fun. I do regret not watching this as a target demographic. I'd probably rate it as high as Code Geass. You can see the blatant demographic it's trying to target with the constant mix of immaturity and the high school setting. Alas, what can ya do. Still walls of texts aside, we're going back to high school with the next episode, I guess. |
| I swear Kurz is becoming my favorite character other than Sousuke, he's hilarious XD. |
| Yes! A love triangle! This is WAR! >:D |
 |
| Figuring in how clueless sousuke is with women this love triangle shouldn't really affect him much... |
 |
| Alright end to the arc. Felt the mecha battle wasn't as good as I thought it would be but what can you do. And a love triangle now? I find them to be...tragic. As much as I prefer Tessa over the most annoying tsundere out Chidori, its pretty obvious whose gonna win this 'battle', there us really no point. |
 |
| I hate love triangles - but I'd definitely go for Tessa. |
| "We're nothing more than fools and whores with sad highs" |
| Love triangle, yay |
 |
| what the fudge did I watch... why did Tessa embrace the enemy that just tried to kill ALL of them and also destroyed so much?!?! Because she knows he's as good as dead or what? that was so stupid I don't even... and now, love triangle with tessa that can't do shit by herself yet is actually the captain. if she doesn't improve and get some nice development...... I see myself getting more and more upset at this anime =.= so much potential wasted. |
| What a revelation, a boss-to-subordinate relationship turns wild, and now Kaname might have to be more true to herself. |
| Epic fall of Behemoth and do I hear a love triangle? oh boy this can get quite interesting! |
 |
precious said: what the fudge did I watch... why did Tessa embrace the enemy that just tried to kill ALL of them and also destroyed so much?!?! Because she knows he's as good as dead or what? that was so stupid I don't even So far the anime has shown Tessa doesn't want to hurt people, which is ironic because of her occupation. Remember when they were bombing the research lab? She wanted them to time it to be the least amount of deaths possible. She also appeared to not be to happy seeing it get blown to smithereens. Also she could have had Sousuke kill that issue dude right off the bat but she didn't. She could tell issue dude was a goner and had messed up family relationships. She was just trying to make his last moment enjoyable. .-. |
