THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A communist girl named Jung Freud who uses an attack called Jacobin Meteor... I think it's safe to say that Japanese public education has failed. :-P

As a far-leftist psychology-freak with a taste for mecha, ridiculous attack names and cultural history, I approve.

Coach is so badass he goes on a light-speed space mission wearing his sunglasses.

And awesome design that Exelion has. Not only it kinda looks like a Star Wars' Star Destroyer, but they made it with an excellent view into the girls' bathroom.

One thing I don't get is the it's been one hour to us but 6 months to you because we've been travelling at light speed business. What the hell? Travelling faster doesn't alter time for the whole universe, only yourself. That theory is beyond logic. If it actually existed it could be used as a way to time travel. Considering it was an hour to them but six months to earth, that means if they were travelling around like that in space for one year, it would be sixty years to earth but still only one year to them.

People could just be like "oh, I can't be bothered to wait three months for the next volume of Bleach, lets travel at light speed in space for a few seconds to get it!"

It makes no sense I tell ya! Unless I'm missing something extremely important... but I don't think I am!

I agree with everything in this post.

And Touka, don't think too much about it. Just enjoy the show.

The idea is that for whatever body is experiencing the near lightspeed travel, the time for that body is going to be experienced much more slowly than time for an outside observer not traveling near the speed of light.

It may not make sense to you, but the phenomenon is scientifically sound. It's called time dilation.

INAZUMA KICK!

So why did that Soviet girl stop being a bitch all of a sudden?

That was a much better episode than the first one.

I'm enjoying this series, and it's not because of the boobs.

Yeah the commander is badass, he'll never take his sunglasses, not even in space, nor in the place where light can never reach. That's how badass he is.

x3

I think Einstein's theory of relativity also comes in to affect this time/light-speed travel business.

Also, the same man has theorized that, if you go over the speed of light, you will travel back in time.

So maybe, going nearer and nearer the speed of light makes time go slower and slower, until it actually starts to reverse?

I tell ya, space and time science is much more complicated than one even imagines.
The fact that all of this stuff seems like something out of a manga that is nowhere near what real world events resemble makes it even harder to grasp.

:-| Nudity makes reading the text difficult. So far I hate this series.

The fan service is surprisingly better than most of the recent series. It is better, yet it is not over the top... I guess that balance was lost.

Cheers for that, it was quite an interesting read. I actually watched a documentary that talked a little about time dilation some months after I saw Gunbuster and feel pretty stupid for saying that now, haha. You'll have to excuse my stupidity!

That laugh was scary.

Wow, I actually hate that girl. I mean I HATE her. Stop crying over your daddy.

Boobs.

I want to know why soviet girl has such a strange name - Jung >_<. Not Katya, Anna ect. And their physics makes me crazy.

That was quite good much better than the first and first look at Exelion my impression was "Star Destroyer" and yay for full nudity.

Uh...wtf? All animosity between Jung and Kazumi disappeared just like that? The hell...?

The boob physics is lulz.

And let the relativity with light speed travel mindfuck commence.

At least it's funny to know where the ridiculous attacks and attack names came from.
