| Wait, i didn't even see how Smith died. He just stopped appearing all of a sudden. Also, I know this show defies human technology but I don't think you can get that close to a star, even if it's a red giant. |
| And why did they bother developing a romance episode if the guy barely had screen time. Wasted time to develop the plot, especially for a 6-episode. |
| Let's be honest, who the fuck is eating sushi in deep. space? |

| This teeny-tiny arc with Smith makes me feel sad that this series could've and perhaps should've been longer... Crafty Haruhiko Mikimoto: 2023 rewatch in dub: When Noriko had to do the dare and her roommates pushed her out into the corridor, I heard Jung Freud say до свидания (do svidaniya), so that likely means she's just a Soviet citizen of German descent. I formerly theorized she was East German using a Soviet mech because of the Warsaw Pact. |

| The story development and the soundtrack implies I'm supposed to be sad about Smith's death. I don't feel anything tho, I hardly knew the guy. Great attempt tho, I guess. I kinda chuckled when she opened the door to the room full of sad boys. I probably shouldn't have, but I did. |
 |
| A shame about Smith. The battle scene itself was disappointing because we had very little idea of what exactly was attacking Noriko and Smith. The aftermath of his death was very well executed though. |
| Poor sumisu. I mean Smith :( |
 |
| they kill him off just like that? Thought this was the romance part, nvm kinda enjoying this but at the same time not really |
removed-user said: I am suprised to see that some people really think Kazumi(one-sama) is a ''bitch'' because of that talk with the coach, she did the right thing there.From what we have seen so far,Noriko clearly wasnt ready to fight in a real battle.Now, Smith got killed and it is a sad situation for everyone. Fr it's so obvious she's trying to protect Noriko i really can't imagine how someone could think that lol |
| Definitely way better episode. There are some cliches, but considering how old this show is it was probably unique back then. But well, really good episode. I loved the music and the beautiful shots at the end. The show is finally building up to a larger picture, the last scene, the unsettling fact that the sun (I forgot what it was called) became a red giant in literally a decade is building up to a bigger picture which I can't wait to see what it is. I can see many similarities to Evangelion, it is Anno's debut after all. Seems like characters are getting set into their personalities, motivations, etc. Well let's see how it goes. |

| Smith looked like a fun character, better than that soviet lady. Too bad he's dead. |
   |
| Poor Smith, he only gets a handful of screen time and yet this show made me care about him after he died. A great episode showcasing how space battles can be a dangerous business. Just the reaction from the other guys' faces in the men's quarters was enough for me to be sad at that. |
| Fuck, third chapter and the mc still sucks in space combat, this guys took character development too serious (i hope) |
| BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH |
| Kazumi refused to be deployed in an active combat situation with Noriko due to her inexperience. Yeah, that's perfectly reasonable, especially since she's basically going from minamal bootcamp training immidiately to advanced fighter pilot deployment. This isn't like subbing in that promising young rookie into the big playoff game: sending off a new recruit barely out of training to an important battle assignment with minimal personnel (as opposed to a single soldier in a battalion) is bound to get someone killed. ...And of course it did! What was he thinking?! I certainly don't blame Kazumi for refusing to pertner with her in actual combat, and I don't blame Noriko for freezing up, either - she's still green, and that's known to happen with soldiers new to the battlefield. Coach though: he's their commanding officer, he ought to know better. I'd be surprised if he isn't demoted or at least reprimanded for that boneheaded move next episode. |
