| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This week we got treated to a highly suspenseful race. If this isn't bodacious I really don't know what is. |
 |
| As if in answer to the critics who complain that the show doesn't have enough action, everyone is too nice, and the pirates never do anything like real pirating, Bodacious Space Pirates comes through with this episode and, from the looks of it, the final arc! (Though it looks more like they will be pirate hunting as opposed to pirating, but that is great!) Marika and Ai-chan were the true stars of this ep, with some awesome piloting action and bravery from both of them! I loved the final race outcome! But I feel for Ai-chan. I hope she got a special commendation from the race organizers for her part in saving the race. If not, she should get one from their school. (And I think she probably has a job waiting for her anywhere she wants it, with the possible exception of Kane's job, when she graduates in three years... The girl's got serious skillz!) |

| this was was fkn awesome. loved it |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
The race was really fun and enjoyable. To bad Ai-chan didn't win.  |
|
| ok next episode looks serious and I hope explosive but this one, oh this series never fails me some good action, great pacing - I liked the "battle" in dingies (or however it's called) bit of old fighters climate here and of course Ai, last episode shown her as awesome character and this gave even more of her awesomeness she has skills and passion - I like that :) she could be quite good pirate also yup, one of my favorite characters here PS. Did Grunhilde came second :D so she has some skills, or was able to pull thing she did last episode ;) PS2. A bit weird configuration of that plane - to put guns only on top and bottom, while leaving nothing on sides |
| Great episode. Enough action to keep even the haters satisfied, and Marika rocks, as does Ai-chan. Seriously, I love her to pieces. I also think she should get a speclial commendation, but even if not: She did enter the tournament to fly, not to win. That would be just icing on the cake. She has the true heart of a sailor, and I salute her for it. Also, I think she is the only choice to replace Kane in the future. GO AI-CHAN! START PIRATING AND STEAL OUR HEARTS! |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Ai-chan really is amazing ~ LOL at chiaki winning xD We ALL know Ai-chan would have won if she didn't go to help Marika out. And yeah, next episode seems like the final stretch. Where someone is trying to do away with piracy completely. |
| Ai needs to join the Bentanmaru end of story. Her actions and advice saved the day. Chiaki won and Grunhilde got 2nd |
 |
 Sandaime is really keeping those stuffed animals and such, nice. Up there with Kane who are great characters in the Bentenmaru. On the plot That was so odd that everyone was blaming the current Hakuoh academy for the transgressions of the past. Pretty rude. However it set up a hilarious plot thread with the head of security. Bisque was interesting with all the gunfire and action, and made it pretty intense. That was what I signed up for in this anime. Next episode will be great I bet. |

| That was epic! I was excited for pretty much the entire episode. :D go Ai-chan! |
| Oh shoot, this episode was EPIC. THIS is what the ending of an arc should look like. |

Dalek-baka said: PS. Did Grunhilde came second :D so she has some skills, or was able to pull thing she did last episode ;) She did pull the same thing actually. xD  Anyway, an adrenaline-packed episode, awesome. Ai-chan is cute as ever. But man, now I feel like watching Redline again... |
 |
| That was some great flying Marika did in that dinghy. I really like that song that was before the ED. |
| Great episode. Ai and Marika where both cool. Marika can sure fly a dinghy. She could win the Nebula cup if she wants to. |
1idd0kun said: Magito said: Marika can sure fly a dinghy. She could win the Nebula cup if she wants to. Actually not. She herself said it was taking her quite an effort to keep up with the others, and we saw she was feeling uncomfortable with the dinghy's controls since the beginning of the race. Ai on the other hand, kept her cool since the beginning, and controlled her dinghy naturally and effortlessly. It's pretty obvious that while Marika is an awesome pilot, Ai is even better. It just too bad she didn't have the opportunity to prove it by winning the race. About the last part - she did prove it. For one by predicting how the winds will go - this saved the day and takes some skill. Ok Marika never needed to do it, as well as Bentenmaru crew (probably) - as they deal with some space winds of death, but not those "natural". Also flying with disabled electronics is quite awesome and involves a lot of skill. So winning the race is not so important to show it... and with practice she will be unstoppable :) @Electromaster THANKS! Serenity Royal Family = Natural Born Cheaters (they proved it few times before but it seems to involve every aspect of life) |

It just too bad she didn't have the opportunity to prove it by winning the race. She did state that it took all of her efforts and skills to keep up with others but that doesn't mean you she won't earn herself a CUP if she were to put all of her effort together. Ai is not just good but she also born with talent and it is hard to win against such a person. Also, I loled so hard at this "We're not flying... We're falling with style!" |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Great episode loved how the chairwoman was mistaken and went after Marika like that only to discover that she wasn't the one that was dangerous to her tournament. Those Dingy are pretty interesting basically the space variant of a sailing boat and very romantic in a way especially the way they left the space station. Seems Marika has to be more cautious of her surroundings with enemy's around that would shoot her down without worrying about those around her. And judging from the preview next week should be more interesting. |

Ai-chan is cute as ever. But man, now I feel like watching Redline again... I seriously don't know how Grunhilde got to keep that second place. I rewatched the episode and verified that the Hakuoh girls flew dinghies with the light blue color scheme, while Chiaki-chan flew a dinghy with the black color scheme, so it is entirely plausible that the two ships in the picture are Grunhilde's and Chiaki-chan's dinghy. Well, I guess people will sometimes overlook a few minor transgressions when your a princess... |
| Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. |
zeroryoko1974 said: Hakuoh is quite a school. Two moon princeses, a pirate captain, a former student who is one of the fastest gorwing shipping companies in the galaxy. Awesome that someone brought in a ringer for this race, AKA Chiaki. Ai-chan is so moe, I died. Well it's the common Academy of Adventure trope. Other than that don't forget they have a pro-hacker too. |

| Awesome Episode, Hope this get a second season |
| Very good episode. |
| I'm glad Marika kept her pirate hat on when she was in the dingy. |
| Great episode, that was an awesome tournament. Now the next episode (arc?) looks amazing, all that weaponry will boom and it'll make for some kick-ass moments. Now that is something I'm looking forward to. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Awesome. Just...awesome. Damn, every time Marika banked or rolled I found myself leaning in my chair to compensate for the inertia. This episode caught me by surprise and my world narrowed down to just the video screen in front of me. |

| Aren't the enemies cosplaying Lupin III? XD |
| Poor Ai-chan, I feel so sorry for her...hopefully she will win next time. A really good episode and it looks like the final arc might actually deliver some actually dangerous fights. 4/5. |
| Lol damn these people sure can keep a grudge. Especially that old lady who was just way too obsessive about it and was being annoying. -.- Good ep otherwise, and I just love Sandaime's overreactions. |
 |
| Damn, most exciting episode so far! The race was awesome and suspenseful. |
| This is an amazing episode.. :D Great suspense race.. |
| AHH that was so amazing. I was expecting this episode to be boring because of the race, good thing they added the action. Marika is awesome as expected and of course, all props to Ai-chan for this wonderful episode. We're lucky to have watched this anime at this point. Ep 22 looks promising. |
| Ai-chan is amazing... btw i dont think so many ships diving into the atmosphere at the same time is safe |
| A pretty good episode with all the action going down. But forgive me for missing something but was there a reason why this Bisque company were hunting down Marika in the first place? I think one of the crew members told Marika something about Bisque being "Jealous" of her licence but I don't see how shooting her down was going to benefit them. Can anyone explain? |
 |
darkwintre said: They assumed she was participating and because her ship isn't good at atmsopheric flight they believed they had a chance at killing her thereby ending the Benten's licence as she's currently the only known inheritor of that deed. But why? What does the Bentenmaru's licence have to do with the Bisque company? What was it preventing them from doing? |

I would say that they wanted to get rid of her because she could interfere in some of their operations (like she did with few corporations and governments before). Plus there are other people who are interested in Marika's safety... so fight of fractions is also possible. |
| Loved this episode, aerial race and banshee-like vehicle fighting in mid-air. Love it. |
 |
| Continuing from last episode. This episode certainly concludes the Nebula Cup racing arc and develops further Ai with a nice BGM song near thee end of the episode as the Bisque bad guys get captured. My thoughts are as follow. Burst comments, same deal. One paragraph = to one part of the episode. Just that it’s random. The planet Calmwind in the spoiler Obviously the lady who registers in the spoiler I kind of ROFL at Lynn in the spoiler I was really glad to see Chiaki in the spoiler I can obviously see as much as Kane does that the guy in the spoiler The course planning display in the spoiler Lovely takeoff in the spoiler The President of DRL in the spoiler Those Bisque were so ENRAGING in the spoiler The saving grace! I was very happy when the Bentenmaru appears in the spoiler  And certainly the spoiler A)Ai in the spoiler B)The nasty EM attack in the spoiler About Ai, she starts up nicely with a nice face here. Loved seeing Ai’s faces in the spoiler  Along with her other faces in the spoiler About the fan service, one of the things I liked of this episode was mainly Marika in her suit in the spoiler About thee end of the episode, so the list says of the last elements I liked.
That being said Ai should be hired to work as a pirate! I am sure she could be of a great help to Marika. BTW Image Stitches in the BLOG: http://ecchiking99.blogspot.ca/2012/07/image-stitches-of-mouretsu-pirates.html One of Serenity firing the gun. GIFs in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=458353 Some fooling around with a Marika part. |
| Loved this episode! Ai-chan was amazing, yet again. I'm sad she didn't get to win the race. Hopefully the Bentenmaru will make her part of the crew! |
| Okay now that was more like it. some good action this time around. I'm impressed that Ai was able to pilot without her electronics, pretty awesome of her. Also the president hacking the last cup, oh boy she has no shame. |
 |
| Great episode the race sure was something! Really loved the action in this one! |
 |
| I love that their response to incident was to adopt that course permanently. Winning it now has to be worth a hell of a lot more than winning it before ;) |
| Ai-chan = the next Bentenmaru helmsman. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Having an all out girls competition :O Having a race like that coming from space down the earth. Looks so much fun!!! Ai-chan's beanie! T_T Seeing Marika on a body flight suit (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Shame Ai didn't win, but maybe in the next tournament!! |
| That was a fun episode! I really liked the race and the dogfight! The chairwoman was funny too hahaha |
