| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, that was an interesting episode. Lots of fighting with a plot to boot. Ichika redeemed himself a bit here. Still there's no escaping that he has a splendid harem and he's clueless about it. Harem count at ED song: +1. There's room for at least 3 more in that ED song :P Next episode, another transfer student and it's a male pilot. As if this show will introduce another male(our MC is bad enough). It's clearly a trap. Oh well, let's just play along that we don't know that. |
 |
| Amazing fight with Fang! Ichika sure was good but Fang's IS I really love, especially it's cannons. It really does kind of remind me of Wu-Fei from Wing Gundam although Gundams are far better than IS. 2 Things that really blew me off apart from the more amazing battle yet in this series. First one is the over 9000 points of gar level ups that Ichika received mainly from the poses in the spoiler Glad that Cecilia came with her funnels! Thereafter blasting that shit up! OMG Fang had it so close to giving that kiss to Ichika! Damn why did he have to wake up!? D: At least she got a advance, which made me wonder why she was closest to Ichika in the ED. Adored the flashback of her and Ichika in the classroom. Probably a third favorite of Fang's expressions. Fang getting angry was cute too. This is was by far the best of the best in fighting so far in the series, more of that please! Also more Ichika GAR modes. |

| So obvious that French guy is not a guy at all. It is just so damn annoying in every action harem anime, the girls have to act so damn stupidly deredere when they're fighting the enemy. "W-w-w-wwhat are you doing!? Let me go you idiot! Iyyyaaa heenttaaiii!" Uh... hello? There;s a huge ass fucking robot trying to blow your shit up and you're too busy bitching about being carried around? |

Wasabi said: So obvious that French guy is not a guy at all. True words are true. Episode was pretty good; the fight was nice (though not really great), and at least there's some plot now. Not to mention the intense tsundere action, which I never get tired of. Somehow it makes me laugh how people thought that ISes could be kept only for recreation (what was it, the Alaska Treaty or something?). Something with swords and guns is obviously going to become some sort of fighting equipment anyhow. +1 to ED. |
 |
| That shoulder-less uniform is to die for. Look forward to the Rin x Ichika date! |
| that chick in the op with the bunny-ears looking things reminds me a bit of Suiseiseki... |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| Damn now I have to re-post cause the other one closed. Anyway good episode, and Ichika is showing you he has balls. He even asked Rin on a date. If the show continues like this, I will blame him never getting progress on his women's cockblocky-ness, not his density, the way a Harem should be :D |
| uggggg Just the way people act in this anime is retarded. Your in the middle of a fight and your more worried about being carried by a guy then not getting you head blown off. Really!? This show would be so much better if they didn't try to jam the harem factor so hard. We get it Rin likes Ichika, but enough to be a distraction in battle!? This anime seem like it had promise, but the annoying female characters, and weak ass default harem guy have just completely turned me off this anime. What a waste of a good animation budget. /rant |
 |
| O SHIT THERES ACTUAL PLOT? But in all seriousness, this was a pretty good episode. The fights were animated quite nicely. Ichika was pretty cool this episode, now if only he could be less clueless about the girls around him, although that probably won't happen since this is a harem anime haha. So apparently there are more IS cores than the registered 467, and the one they fought was unmanned...wonder if Houki's missing sister has something to do with it? |
| Finally got to see some more combat. As for the drone thingy that has an unregistered core I feel like it's gonna tie in with how they mentioned Houki's sister went missing. I liked Lin a lot in this episode especially at the end lol she should've just dove in. |
 |
| awesome harem is awesome. so yeah he can cut loose against drones but not girls and of course he doesn't realize he's got a sweet harem going. good action this time around though. predictably the french kid is definitely trap and another flat girl. there's no way there's another male pilot so soon. Rin should have kissed him though. |
 |
Eixy said: If that is so then this could be big, the way I see it is, a organization that is clandestine and produces these drones to get rid of the main IS training facility in order to prove they are superior.As for the drone thingy that has an unregistered core I feel like it's gonna tie in with how they mentioned Houki's sister went missing. It could also go the alien way, which I mentioned in the previous episode. It would explain how the tech got into human hands. |
| This show is slipping. While there were a few fun moments, like when Sensei tried to get the others to calm down, there was too much dreck. In terms of animation, the flying around and dodging shots was good but the impacts were missing. The show has its charms. The female characters are all attractive. But the writers need some editors to slap them in the back of the head when they make this crap up. |

| I like how the main character isn't a wuss anymore. I really wish that Houki would get in on the fighting. Also, enjoy the harem going on here, haha. Hopefully they show the enemy soon and don't leave as a mystery for too long or just concentrate on the school aspect. I really want to see some more fight scenes against the unmanned IS. |
| Plot: Shit Character interactions (applied to plot): Shit Character interactions (base): Many lulz |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| What's with Cecilia showing up all of a sudden in the battle? I thought she wasn't allowed to leave... Heck, even Ichika saw it coming... I guess the scriptwriters made the other girls have a screen time because we always see Lin most of the time xDD PS: I like Lin. I think she's my ideal gf. Damn reality xDD |
| Hm, I liked this episode more than the others. o uo There was definitely some more plot involved and it was a little less fanservice-y in comparison to previous episodes. xD All in all, I'm kinda looking forward to the next ep. :U |
 |
| WAIT! so the New person in the next episode is a GIRL!?!?!? |
| I knew we be getting some weird alien IS shit, but it just seems so bizarre and out of place. |
AngelicFeces said: Yes, it was too sudden and I agree with your statement. I do think if they do it right things will set themselves in. I guess they decided to do the sudden enemy appearance in the middle of something.I knew we be getting some weird alien IS shit, but it just seems so bizarre and out of place. |
| i felt like the plot was force onto me like the episode screaming "this is how its gonna go, deal with it." i'd laugh if everyone was wrong and the french dude is actually a guy.......lulz to that...but again it a harem so i shouldn't expect that. |
| Hide behind the mighty wall of internet, i shall |
| Well that was surprising (not). I swear, Ichika is the most clueless person ever. What, there's a manual for the IS? We've been training, but I decide not to use any of it? But suddenly, beams can power up an IS instead of doing damage and Ichika realizes that the enemy is a drone. I facepalmed five times during this episode. |
| Good dose of action. Just had to laugh when Lin tried to sneak a kiss on Ichika. Next episode introduces a male character. Hmm....yeah...yup.. |
 |
| This episode was lots of plot. And Rin being way too cute. :3 From that preview does that mean Houki is not going to share a room with Ichika anymore? Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ T_T |

Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~ T_T everybody knows this but, the other "guy" shares room with ichika, then ichika finds out that french guy ain't a french guy |

    |
| Interesting turn of events. I wonder how big the battles will get. |
Kurogashi said: XiaoYami said: WAIT! so the New person in the next episode is a GIRL!?!?!? no it's a trap 1+ This anime gets worst every episode. |
| Finally the series is getting serious. Great episode. |
 |
| The action was interesting but I would prefer if the characters did not have their little monologues when they are fighting. In my opinion, it retracts from the action. Overall it was an ok episode. It seems that there is some plot to this after all, I just come that it can be developed since we are almost half-way through the series. |
| Awesome episode, the mech and laser porn was satisfying. Loved Chifuyu's moe moment where she put salt in her coffee. Ichika's and Rin's flashback was touching. The ED where all the girls is just getting me more and more excited for the official full release with the other girls, especially one with one-eyed-German girl singing. Oh Cecilia... So moe, I love her. All hail Bri-tan! <3 |

It seems that there is some plot to this after all, I just come that it can be developed since we are almost half-way through the series. ^ The series may not be a 1 season series, since MAL hasn't logged anything official about IS's length. I don't understand the hate that the plot is getting. Sure the plot isn't SPECTACULAR like Durarara's or Gurren Lagenn's, but it's not detracting from the story in anyway. There aren't many stupid elements, and cliches are used because they work, and they work because they are cliches. I admit that Rinrin should have just devoured those lips, but Ichika's got the balls to ask her out. I sort of agree, the love comedy and dialogue during the battle was a bit out of place, but wasn't that exact issue addressed in the episode? |
 |
kalamity51 said: I kind of think now that Ichika asked Fang out because he felt he had to uphold some honor in regards to his past with Fang and her family. Towards Houki and Cecilia there was no such obligation even though Houki was the first childhood friend. Anyone else thinks it might be why he asked Fang out?I admit that Rinrin should have just devoured those lips, but Ichika's got the balls to ask her out. |
| Well that was pretty fucking shit. Ichika looks like a faggot in his IS, and on top of being a pussy he's so weak and doesn't do anything. Like when his penis grew in size after 'charged up' I was like woot he gonna open can of whop ass but then nothing happens. Yeah because it's so obvious that that GUY is a GUY, good preview. And although the characther desgins are okay, the harem part is getting to me. kalamity51 said: ClementIV said: Overall it was an ok episode.

You're using Gurren Lagann as an example of an anime with plot? /facepalm Because something as generic and cliched as Gurren Lagann has a plot... right? Right? No stupid elements? =/ |

Totally agree with this. The episode was interesting, Fang had cute moments <3. At least the protagonist grew some balls here, could even be better. l'be looking forward to the next episode with that french guy. lawl. |
| If only all the IS looks like an unmanned drone rather than half human, half machine. I enjoyed the episode action wise but Ichika, oh Ichika can't do shit without help, I mean common now son. I also like the way that every episode the ending constantly change by adding the new character seiyuu to the song. Good one. Yoko Hikasa and Yukana's duet (2nd ending) as of now is my favorite. |
| good ep but this show would be much better if the ppl don't act like retards even in battle... |
 |
This is what is shown so far in the anime:
Unlikely speculation: If Tabune created that core and can manufacture a unmanned drone IS, then she is the the most dangerous person in the world and could have world domination within her grasp if she so desired. If she is behind the drone attack, there should be an international manhunt/arrest warrant ASAP. |
| it was an entertaining nice episode =D |
 |
| the action is good, liking it |
| Hope there will be very few combat scenes, at least no more full episodes of it. Because it was embarrassingly bad and plain ridiculous -.-' |
| I thought it was good. Obviously the next person is a girl otherwise the storyline of having only one guy piloting IS would be nothing special. |
  |
| Well, if it weren't for like 3 head scratches in this episode, it was quite good.(the episode itself) I'm still oblivious as to how Cecilia got feelings for Ichika though... Anyway, since I started this, I might as well finish it, even though I don't watch harem animes, mainly because reasons already named before... |
| Rin is conquered, ED sequence says. Next episode's title: "Oh shit, it's a trap" It's so damn obvious. |
| The whole story is just shit. I mean its criminally bad. I can barely seem to get any enjoyment from this show. Maybe its because I've seen it 10 billion times already. |
 |
| flashy action, I wonder how long they can keep this up because that's the only real thing this anime has going. The harem feels definitely forced, nothing comes together as it should be. The characters aren't very likable either, which hurts this show even more to me. |
| And suddenly, out of fucking nowhere, there're dark clouds and shit everywhere. Next moment, the storm clouds are gone, and replaced with regular white clouds. Oh well, other than that, stuff happened, cool. Expected, yes, but somewhat cool nonetheless ┐('～`；)┌ Also, I find it highly unlikely that said new "guy" is actually a guy. Bet (s)he's just "OH GAWD being a guy in this school is STATUS. I'mma try it out since I don't have any breasts anyway." |
