| Madoka the simpleton strikes back! :D no angst, no worries just jumping into action and make some plan on a way and it's great :) but yeah Muginami could go to some better life now... last time I felt a bit sorry for her but now it was too much (but still she is a good character) still it seems that those "bad guys" are not so bad really - to make huge robot to blossom? overall it seems to fit that light theme of show, so why not :D It also seems that starting the blooming was aim of them. Like to clean emotions of Madoka (it started when she got mad and grew stronger as she was more angry) something nice I think - stoping the prophecy? and last - visuals, especially in the bomb part, oh that was great! I can't wait till next episode :) nice to see some mysteries appearing here and that they are decent ones and that Earth is force to be reckoned with |

Cirris said: Lol, i like the mix of seriousness and silly in the show. Nah, I don't agree. It kinda kills the mood for me sometimes. Especially with it trying to have this serious legend behind it with that blue, green and orange story. It was nice to see Madoka pissed, because I must say her always cheerful character was also a bit annoying when the story wants to be quite serious. Still, enjoyable episode :D |
     |
| I aint going to lie Madoka use to get on my damn nerves but im starting to like her. She be putting on a front and actually smart. |
I think there is one thing about Muginami that everyone loved and it's the following, FIREBOMBER! I call it! That fire trail in that part burned and killed the enemy. That is epic really! Moreover her takeoff made me hyper. It was totally excited. Gosh, I repeated it like 5 times. The BGM really played an amazing role there. Anyway rest I put in the club due to their size. |
| Oh yes Madoka, she's so MARU~ I just love how she always acts of such simple reasons and always does the right thing. Ran wasn't too woof this episode though, she didn't get to do anything except for grabbing Midori when it blossomed. I wonder if her grabbing it actually changed anything though. So i want some expaination about just what was that next episode. Is Kiss' goal making all Vox blossom by making the pilots manifest strong feeling like that? Would that lead to some catashtrophe? Anyway, great episode again, I enjoy every minute of this show. Also funny thing with the assistant of Madoka's sis sipping on his noodles. I was like *sip* and the next second he's like *siiip* too. |

| That's right, Muginami. Put Madoka in her place. It's a damn shame though. We have a very interesting backdrop for a war going on, and instead we're treated to teenage girl angst and crushes, with Madoka being the biggest perpetrator here. |

| another Prefect episode action was nice but has anyone noticed how all the dudes always have the *biggest* weapons that guys cannon didn't disappoint leaving a massive crater! good thing they were over the sea. and i really want someone to do a Compilations of all Lans woofs when this series is over :3 |
 |
| Ah yes. It's so nice to have a protagonist that doesn't go emo. Even when someone puts her down she stands strong. :D I love how the commander just accepts Ran's woof and not comment on it. lol Cirris said: oh btw, does anyone else get somewhat turned on when the girls are hunched over straddling their seat with their ass in the air? or is it just me? It looks rather sexual for something that's supposed to be just a cockpit. Isn't that why we watch this? :P |
| This might be the most colorful mecha show ive ever seen..... Anyways I like the comedy now because I think later on in the series (counting the confirmed second season as part of the series) is when shit is gonna hit the fan. So to all those saying they dont like the comedy, just wait. They've got a whole nother season to turn the show serious. At least thats how I see it. Comedy and fun now, seriousness, epicness, and war later. |

| I really don't see how this made the rating go down at all, but maybe I should just focus less on that, and more on expressing what I thought about the episode. Its kind-of amazing how many effects they use in this show! The clouds parting to let the ships through. The reflections in the water as the ship boosts and takes off.. It's a feast for the eyes, I really like it! I can't believe Muginami didn't help Madoka and Lan, and instead went against them - while I didn't expect her to just join them, I didn't expect her to go against them once again so forcefully after being thrown away like that. I love this show, I can't wait to find out what is happening with that "blooming" business, it doesn't sound like good news, and now I don't know who is a good guy, Moid, or Vallagulio? |

| I love this anime so much ^^. Need my weekly dose of "Wan". The animation for this is ridiculously good o_o and these are broadcast rips. Amazing visuals. It just all really works well together. The comedy, the characters, the plots coming into play now. And it still remains alot of fun to watch. Haven't ever had this much fun watching a mecha before. I like Moid :( hope he doesen't turn out to be evil. Looks like we'll see Muginami's past the next episode. |

Elite60 said: This was a pretty well executed episode. I was kept on the edge of my seat during the battle and then Madoka's Vox blooming was pretty amazing. The soundtrack was awesome as well.  That's Lan's game face for ya! LOL Lol you're absolutely right !! |

Soshintsu said: I am more into the fad of how the breasts and asses along with the body contours show that sexiness with the tightness of the suit. It's been done before but it always has a appeal form.Cirris said: I still think the designer responsible for that deserves a medal - honestly! ^^ It almost makes you sad when they switch to the other mode.oh btw, does anyone else get somewhat turned on when the girls are hunched over straddling their seat with their ass in the air? or is it just me? It looks rather sexual for something that's supposed to be just a cockpit. |

I love how the girls look when they are in their tight uniforms. haha!im not complaining! |

Well, as I see it she didn't go against them - that would imply attacking Lan and Madoka. All she really did was get in the way to stop Madoka from attacking Lord Villa. Not quite the same thing. |
 |
| The script could have used some tweaking, I don't like how they approached the whole blooming thing. Otherwise it was a great episode, but I hope Muginami will be reminded of her place again, she really irks me. Probably the only thing I don't like in the series so far. Elite60 said: There is a saying in my country, I don't know if it's used in English but "You look liked washed sh*t" my first thought after seeing poor Lan like that. 4/5. |
| 説明please ..... Moid could be an agent sent by other alien(actually it is). I wonder what is his purpose in this Anime ... |
| Holy Raptor Jesus O_o CG mechs are godlike. And those pink explosions totaly aren't ripped from Eureka 7 :D |

| It seemed he, jubijubi tried to kill Muginami to make Madoka irate and invoke Green Vox's sealed power. Flower of Lagrange. If it's true, I think he's now just a bastard who will not hesitate to do anything in order to carry out his purpose. I have no idea what happened in the end of this episode. but further more, I couldn't understand why Muginami try to defend him, who tried to kill herself just before. |

It's frustrating as hell, but it is a real world thing. Some women, and more rarely men, will stay in an abusive (sometimes life threatening, sadly eventually fatal) relationship because they blame themselves when their partner beats them up. |

Cratex said: Because she blames herself, not him. It's frustrating as hell, but it is a real world thing. Some women, and more rarely men, will stay in an abusive (sometimes life threatening, sadly eventually fatal) relationship because they blame themselves when their partner beats them up. Just from profesional experience. And a bit on off-topic: both man and women in quite similar propotions (or maybe it's just here, but I don;t think so). Plus there is more than just blame - they stay because of some twisted feeling of benefits from those relations. Thats why it's hard to end them, and simply saying "Leave him" makes no impact. But here is also, I think, that she doesn't understand why he did it. So there is conflict - between her carying for him and his actions. But she should find her way to deal with it. |
Cratex said: It's not about that at all. If you look at the preview it implies highly that Muginami got her life saved instead of being abandoned to become like Sheryl around the streets to live off. Grabbing left over foods and who knows what illnesses due to malnutrition. It clearly also shows that wherever Muginami was it got destroyed.

So like let's do get it right. Guy saves her life and if he did she would not be in this world so.... do think Muginami will not do all to be with him if he does die. In fact I think Muginami wanted to repay him for saving her. Well clearly that is the impression I get from the PV. |
| That was awesome. Muginami still trying to protect her brother since she thinks it's her fault. Madoka's craft 'exploding' and knocking everyone out? |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| I always though mister squinty eyes wasn't to be trusted. I wonder what he's up to how he's seen the Vox's blossoming power for himself. Muginami's still defending the guy after he called her a parasite, basically. |
 |
| Ok am starting to get troubled by how little gets explained here and how little questions people ask. Madoca never seems to ask for details on why the hell she's doing exactly and who are this bad guys or there exact goals. And the viewers know even less than the characters. What is this organization with the alien aircraft? Why are they so obedient to that suspiciously looking Alien guy? Also many characters seem to know what the hell is this myth or whatever with those robots but we get nothing. Cirris said: oh btw, does anyone else get somewhat turned on when the girls are hunched over straddling their seat with their ass in the air? or is it just me? It looks rather sexual for something that's supposed to be just a cockpit. Well it is called a cock-pit. Maybe not so innocent as you think. |
| Arrrrg Muginami is driving me crazy, I'm really starting to hate her. Lan, on the other hand, still has my heart. And what was this sparkley flowery stuff that was being emitted from Madoka's Vox at the end? Can't wait until next episode~ As always, I wrote a complete review of this episode on my blog ^.^ |
| Die Muginami! |
 Now this is what the anime should be about, wholly. Everything was so epic, just needed to actually let Kirius get involved..and where did Array go? The take off sequence of the rocket was awesome as was the Muginami sealed her fate for me for becoming essentially Inoue level, such a terrible character in this anime and worthless. Worst character this season. |

| I'm really having a hard time figuring out what this anime is about. All I really see is Mecha eye candy, and that's okay I'm just dissapointed that this anime isn't looking any more than that. One thing that kind of dissapoints me is that in the previous episodes Madoka was having a hard time just piloting the robot and now she's dodging a rainfall of bullets and fighting of space robot Apocalypses. Too sudden... too sudden... |

| The animation in this anime it's one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. What was those flowers in the end and why Moid reacted like that? OBS: I'm curious to know about who Muginami shared her apple xD |

ichigo03 said: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ANIME ABOUT?!?! Am I the only one very disturbed by the fact that this anime doesn't explain ANYTHING??? The reason why I'm asking this question at episode 6 is because usually by now the viewer knows what the plot is. YES, the animation is very nice, the artwork is beautiful, and the characters seem pretty interesting, but.... I HAVE NO IDEA WTF IS GOING ON!!! The characters don't question anything, the story doesn't make sense...the only thing we know is that there are two opposing factors battling each other. I agree with this post. We absolutely have no idea what's going on, however, I can't stop myself from enjoying this show so much. It is definitely one of my favorites this season. |
 |
| Like someone watches this for it's plot. It's all about the action. Apart from that, the non action scenes are dull and boring. This episode was way better than the last two. Muginami still sucks. |

MarkS00N said: Okay... For those who don't understand the plot unless it shoves to their throat with one big explanation, here is the summary of what happen till now... I take it from one forum: Now try to pay more attention to the anime... Yeah, I payed attention and I got most of this - everyone else must have been distracted by the pretty colors - haha! Anyway, I actually like the setup - but I can tell that as the anime goes on, it will gradually get darker - I can't wait to see how it does that! Also, it may be worth noting that I think that it's Le Garite that De Metrio is fighting in space. I believe Moid and Lan came to earth to gain their trust and get the vox's ready, because Earth has all three of them, and because they do, De Metrio will end up attacking them with their full force. his is what he is talking about when Moid says: "De Metrio's main force is coming." |

| The effects in this anime are so beautifull :3. |

Now you should wonder if the Voxs did that and self escaped with their AI to earth having a guilt themselves of doing that since their AI is close to human like. |

Interesting...if that were the case then one would wonder if earth as a destination was random or destiny. Not sure I agree that the Vox are intelligent, or even self-aware. Highly empathetic, for sure. They may 'just' act as a lens to (highly) amplify their pilot's emotions and convert such into function. Much like Roger Zelazny said of being a god: "Being a god is the quality of being able to be yourself to such an extent that your passions correspond to the forces of the universe, so that those who look upon you know this without hearing your name spoken." |

Cratex said: Oh I understand your though train and indeed it may have as well be considering how the Vox reacted with Madoka';s feelings there. However I think it harbours those feelings to be more destructive and as a ends to that. Hence less you are a pure person, the Vox indeed may corrupt you badly.

MarkS00N said: Then how would they cancel the contract with them would make no sense. A Memoris is supposed to be a memory ignition with the Vox. Another thing that bothers me of why it needs your memory or it's called Memoria itself.Yumekichi11 said: BRSxIgnition said: Don't forget that Le Garite was decimated.

I don't think its the AI, I believe it was their former pilot that send them here... As we right now get it, the Vox is related to its pilot feeling... Now if the previous pilot has done what the prophecy said, they may feel deep remorse which trigger the Vox to go very far from their former word... I hope you all understand... Now I would take into consideration your theory but I cannot accept the AI thing. They do have a AI that is close to humans because Aura would not react to Madoka ins saving her nor would suddenly Ignis understand the feeling of Muginami and allow it form a trust bond of Memoria right away if ti did not judge her feelings to be true and trustworthy along with the fact it assessed all that and decided to do the Memoria. Now what you make of that? |
