| The amazingness continues. This episode didn't have that much action but it was still very nice, especially when the cops tried to find out how Waku died. Interesting, I'll be waiting for the next episode. |

| Though the first part of this episode was already spoiled in the discussion of episode 2, I still enjoyed this episode. It was interesting to follow the process of finding out how Waku died. Looking forward to more. |

Cyruz said: QFT. Though the first part of this episode was already spoiled in the discussion of episode 2, I still enjoyed this episode. It's was kinda "heavy" with the funeral and all. The morgue guy gave us a hint to the cause of the death "lost his soul?". I wonder if they all die after piloting the robot, or if there's other factors involved... like how many time they spend piloting or the amount of damage the robot takes. Seems the next pilot is gonna be that glasses guy (sorry too many characters to remember all names ^^). He appears to be the more "down to earth" character so far IMO, and the more interesting too... looking foward to the next ep. |

| Show is just about as good as I was hoping, although I'm pretty sure |

| Very heavy episode. It's special, since most shows you don't see or hear about the horrible aftermath of the battle. Sure, you see buildings being destroyed, but buildings are just buildings, when you're actually given a number, and shown people greiving, it makes a powerful statement. In a show with so many characters, some fade into the background (like most of the girls except for the short haired one and the 4th grader), but glasses kid (I also can't remember their names) is one of my favorites, so I don't want him to die. :( |

| Wow.... heavy stuff man.... Im actually quite suprised at those children's first reactions, if it were to be a ''normal''situation you'd be rather traumatized wouldn't you? they're staying pretty cool under all of it for the moment... hmmppfff... well that seems like a pretty random way of choosing the next pilot. looking forward to see what's gonna happen next.... good mystery anime this one |
Story is really interesting!!! |

| Great. Everything about this ep was interesting. |
| These kids act pretty mature for their age, being 7th graders and all. Some of them even look older; for example: |
| Seems like most of the kids have some sort of issues with their parents. |
| Really liking this. I can see this becoming a bit formulaic, but it will stay interesting. |
 |
| Damn impressive episode, the drama combined with the development sure is great! I really wonder what the next episode and pilot will bring us! |
 |
| I already got attached to the brown haired glasses guy he can't die next. T^T |

| boring dropped |
 |
| geez! it's becoming more and more intense and gripping |
 |
| Im gonna be pissed if this turns into a pattern: pilot is selected; Zearth team defeats robot; pilot suddenly dies; next pilot is selected; repeat until only 1 kid survives after defeating all 15 robots. Because having a surplus of main characters just for the sake of killing them off for no reason is the worst way to write a story. And this show doesnt even come across as being "edgy" like other shows that do this. This show has seemed sincere and enjoyable so far. Hopefully im just overreacting / extrapolating, and the show wont commit character slaughter |

| They definitely got the emotions on point in this episode. Emotions can make or break a show. This show, it made. |
| look at the siblings standing there alone... i doubt they even have parents. i feel like their mom might have died giving birth to kana, and then their dad left them. hence the resentment and absence of any guardians- what if i'm right? anyways. kana seems to still love her older brother. or... it's very confusing. does she? she barely talks and is extremely subdued, muted in personality. perhaps she is simply too accustomed to this. |
| Everyone went back home after police interrogation(except for Megane-kun/Ushiro who lives in the basement of the tanktop guy) where they got to enjoy comfort, talk to their parents and take a break to process the events. Attending Waku's funeral was an opportunity for some to shed tears while a certain someone just wanted to go home. At first I almost thought no one gave a fuck about Waku except for that one girl(you know who I mean), but they were still digesting what happened. Pretty much a calm before the storm type of episode that reminded me of Final Destination with the interrogation and funeral and how it built anticipation that makes you want to watch the next episode. It ain't over yet and everyone knows it. The edgy boy/teenage nihilist truly won't be missed and pretty dangerous to give someone like him control over Zearth. He strikes me as the type to abuse power for lower self-gratification and it's obvious that he doesn't care about human life. After seeing him with a gun in the OP I have to rename him. From now on he's potenial school shooter. There was some additional exposition. For one about the number of casualties, but more interestingly were the words of the coroner "The spark of life was gone". So to me this is an indirect confirmation that Zearth either is fueled by life force and/or that you die anyway after your turn. The latter would be a bit too fucked up. If this is still a "game" there should be a way to survive.... at least one round. No clue what role Kana is going to play yet. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The pilots being selected were initially ecstatic at the prospect. Now it's a matter of "Who's next?" Seems like piloting the Zearth is the root cause of the deaths, if Waku died before hitting the ground. Could it be a cursed mecha, or does it place some undetectable strain on the body? |

| Bruh, there's always the one person who leaks the secrets. Now all of them look even more suspicious. Damn, so he is actually dead. |
 |
| I'm really liking how well this anime seems to be dealing with its large main cast. They feel believable as children with their own, albeit still immature, mind. Their very bad attempts at lying during the interrogations for example. Each one with a proper personality and mindset that leads to different actions and reactions. What I'm trying to say is that they're fairly believeable for kids who have been given a shitty situation. I wonder what type of story is being build up here. |
