| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Alot more action this time around, but im getting the feeling that the protagonist and the heroine are kinda useless. Bainas and Gido seem to be the interesting people in this show. |
| Well I'm a bit confused what went on there. Was Esmeraldas gambling on whether they'd risk that pale chick's life? |
| This ep was freakin tight! |
 |
| That took me back to every WW2 submarine movie ever made. It looks like we might find out just why they are pursuing Maya next episode. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Captain, give me a toilet paper roll and a duct tape and I'll build the third torpedo. |
| . |
| definitely this is growing on me - didn't really see a whole lot of matsumoto's flavor in episode 1, but i'm definitely seeing it now....bainas is the esmereldas-type character and maya is the maetel look-alike - seems matsumoto uses recurring character types similar to osamu tezuka - can't wait for episode 3 - i'm a sucker for sci-fi with desert planets! |
 |
| Whelp, so boring. So much action yet so little tension. 2/5 |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| I found the concept of diving under the sand quite interesting. Now the question is what Maya's true nature is since she doesn't seem to be human. Also, am I the only one who thinks that Gido Gairaa, the masked man, bears a striking resemblance to the person on the photograph next to Bainas? Could he be Sam's father after all? |
 |
| The anti-sandsubmarine fight was very nice.....i rly liked it... BUT....i think that Sam is REALLY useless....i hate that kind of protagonists....after the first ep i was thinking that he has some kind o special skill of ability that lets that submarine under the sand.....or he is smart tactician....but this whole episode he was only sitting in cafeteria,drinking water and fanning that chick.....totally useless.....when there was that big ass tight fight.... |

newnar said: Wow I really enjoyed the whole technical undersand "naval" battle. This is like some kind of Last Exile in the sand with alot more strategical technicalities. The combat part had me holding my breath for the entire time. I'm just sad that this anime is only 6 episodes long. I really enjoy this kind of strategical combat, feels like those war movies that actually stick close to history. I had same feeling about it - and I loved it :) all tactics used to find the submarine - plus they were actually thinking there (it reminds me of Pirates and probably it may be disliked for same reason :P but who cares it's awesome). again writing awesome character design so old-school but what's with that map o.O Germany 1813?! ok it's acurate but what it's doing there (unless it's souvenir than ok) and here a bit bigger - nice to see both Poland (well kind of) and my own city XDDDD |

| Enjoyed the strategic battle immensely. The 2 main characters are kinda meh but the supporting characters are stellar. I look forward to finding out why Maya is so important (hopefully next week) The Captian is a boss! |
  |
| Outstanding direction in this episode and the overall background is truly fantastic (well, Ryousuke Takahashi's co-directing a Liji Matsumoto project, so...).Too bad the budget's not up to all this awesomeness. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Bainas is awesome Wonder what Maya really is? 4/5 |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I don't really like long faces as in this anime but there is something in it that encourage me to watch it ; ). |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the General Forum Guidelines. |
| It's so detailed, I mean using all this terminology. I enjoy watching it, even if i don't understand these words, at least I get the basic idea of what's happening. But it would finish rather early with just those 6 episodes. I'm giving this episode 9/10 ^^ |

Dalek-baka said: but what's with that map o.O Germany 1813?! ok it's acurate but what it's doing there (unless it's souvenir than ok) Yeah, I was also asking myself the same thing. I know they were best pals with the Germans in WW2, but, what the hell xD? How does that map fit in with everything that's going on, lol? Also, incredibly epic music, every damn single minute! Can. Not. Endure. Hnnnnnng! |

BTW it's kind of nice touch that they used here actual map from XIX century - not some made up weird version of how they see Europe here it is it can be just some souvenir or it takes place in postapocaliptic version of Kingdom of Prussia - which could explain the uniforms XDD |
| This episode was a lot better than the first. I still don't know what to think of the show though. Well, whatever, it doesn't really make much sense dropping it at this point considering there's just 3 episodes left. Might as well stick with it and hope for the best. |
 |
| It's okay so far. I enjoyed the battle beneath the sand, and I'm looking forward to finding out more about Maya. Something about the animation seems a little weird to me. It seems inconsistent or something. I can't really put my finger on it. I do like the character designs though. I'll probably stick it out and watch the rest of the episodes. |

God damn, there's four left. What is a typo? |

| Very boring episode. There was alot of technobabble during the first half and I didn't understand a thing, reminded me of Star Trek but with Star Trek you at least have a clue of what's going on and it's exciting. I thought I'd like this anime but now I don't think so anymore, other than the art style there's not much good that can be said about it so far, but I won't give up on it, hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised but I doubt it. Also, Sam's voice actor is as annoying as ever |

 |
Sry fuzz, I know were buds and all, but I just can't help but feel like this. |
| This is actually quite interesting. Some of the characters look absolutely ridiculous though. 4/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| even worse than the first ep, and how do they drink if there's no water? |
 |
| blah blah blah... I hoped it was gonna be good, but it's not. Dropped. |

Kasai-Scythe said: It's so detailed, I mean using all this terminology. That's the real charm of Sci-Fi I enjoy. Also a battleship that can sink into the sand, love this! Totentanz said: Also, am I the only one who thinks that Gido Gairaa, the masked man, bears a striking resemblance to the person on the photograph next to Bainas? Could he be Sam's father after all? No you are not the only one. I also think he is the same person from that photo. I remember Sam talking about his brother in 1st episode so he might be his brother not father. Gido deosn't look that old, Bainas also. That's him without the mask on. |
| Sam looks really young (ish), and the guy next to Bainas (?) in the picture's probably his dad ... and they looked pretty close ... hrm ;P She's the best character so far (same with Gido the masked guy) ... Maya and Sam are really useless, how are they the main characters? They have less screen time than the other two O_O Oh and Maya's not human ... or not "normal" at any rate ... well ... I see lol ;P |
| Wow they did ASW against a sand submarine, awesome! XD The first half was so full of win in my book. I wonder if Bardanos have deployable noisemakers as acoustic decoys... I think the guy next to Bainas could be Sam's older brother, the one he mentioned on the first episode but that's just my guess. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This episode was fantastic. I was a little skeptical from the first, but that tension and tactics was amazing. The captain's character is probably one of my favorites. |
| This episode wasn't as interesting as the first, in fact it was boring. |
 |
| oh ~ yeah ! I agree with some... It's boring episode :( |
 |
| I would not be able to handle that heat. |
| The fight scene was pretty cool. |
 |
| Very interesting development! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I also liked this episode, good action |
| I would give it a 4/5 |
| Now that was a game of chicken. |
 |
| Submarines in the sand are something else! They got lucky there. What secrets does Maya have? |
