| underwater fighting ftw! all the men are officially lolicon for nia :( (minus lon lolololol) even though yoko's swimsuit didn't suit her, don't go after the beastman princess guys :< RIP adiane, i feel sorry for viral. good ep, the next one doesn't look too interesting but we'll see. |
| Another great episode. I loved the fighting and the beach humor was pretty good. Its nice to see Yoko and Nia get along. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Loved the fighting, but I'm gonna miss Nia's long hair. :[ |
     |
| yeah, preferred Nia with long hair =( |
 |
| Very funny episode and I also like the under water fighting was interesting to say the least.XD Gosh I love that Simon is back to normal and out of super emo mode (not that I blame him for being emo after Ep.8 T_T ). Well Adiane wins the fast death award well then again I think Thymilph went fast. Well who's keeping count anyways. Haha...^^;; I feel really sorry for Viral, this is the second time this has happen to him. I have a feeling he's going to be the main bad guy later in the series. I also preferred Nia with longer hair but I will get use to it. I mean it's not that bad she still looks cute and I don't think she got ugly just cause of that. Plus it was a good way to get Nia and Yoko on good tends. I enjoyed seeing Yoko acting well more like the old Yoko again too. |
| 2 generals down, 2 left. good episode, underwater fighting is wicked. |
     |
| Yeah. Missile armed dolphins > Grape hippo. XD And obviously swimsuit yoko < regular yoko, like the guys said, she's covering up more!? hahaha. (in fact, on the last episode topic when beach scene was mentioned, I thought the EXACT same thing as the guys in this episode... YOKO IN SWIMSUIT? BUT HER REGULAR OUTFIT IS ALREADY SKIMPY! O_O! hahahaha) |
 |
| I think Nia looks really cute with her short hair...I'll miss her long hair, though... :'< Seriously, the modifications that Ron made were amazing: Flippers and a gigantic paddle. :3 And man, drilling through the water...this show never stops impressing me. :D Rocketeer Dolphins ftw... <3 |
| I'll have to agree on what you people have said. xD Missile armed Dolphins > Grape Hippo. Though, the whole arrow-in-the-face-and-no-gesture thingy is unbeatable. Nia long hair > Nia short hair. Meh, I'm not into Lolis, anyway. Yoko's regular outfit > Yoko's swimsuit. I've always thought of Yoko as being the walking personification of fanservice. xD Though, this time was an exception. |
 |
| Great episode. And I like Nia with short hair more. :| Guess its just preference. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| I thought from the appearance of the preview that this was going to be a fan service episode but if anything it was the opposite since Yoko covered up more and I don't think that anyone really cares about the other three girls. There were possibly a couple of references to other things in this episode, when Dai-ganzan came out of the water was like in Hunt For Red October, and the defeat of the giant undersea ganmen was like the sixth angel from Evangelion. Anyway, Simon seems to be over Kamina's death at this point and is willing to do anything to protect Nia. |

| wow. with each episode nia just becomes so much more awesome. i love her new haircut. it defenitely fits her personality.I love how she has unconditional trust for everyone. It reminds me of kamina and his "believe in me who believes in you" bit. Yoko got on my nerves though. She could be such an awesome tough-girl character and they've really just ruined that. |
| its a pity nia's hair is short now, but it kinda fits her too ^^ |

Swimsuit episode is full of awesomeness. Beach battle between the 2 girls is just awesome xD Yoko is no good at all now isnt she? Lets just throw her in the garbage now before it gets worse for her :P ...i LoL'd at the "Yoko dropped the crab that Nia gave! (pause for effect) DONDAKEEEEEEE!" ...then the mater yoda impression right after. ...Kiyoh had the best swimsuit. ...I think "10 minutes" was long enough for them to think about working on the naval capacity for the mobile base. ...also, no matter how much damage they get in one episode, It's always fixed on time before the next episode. |

  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Have to say it as well: Nooooooo, Nia's beautiful long hair ;( |
| 失われた翼を探して |
| Why didn't Kamina make it till the swimsuit episode? That would have been enough fanservice for me for ATLEAST a week. |
 |
| not sure if i like the new haircut or not. we'll next ep. Yoko put more on at the beach(WTF?) |
    |
| I like Viral, but tell me something: How the hell could he survive that explosion? |
 |
| Nia ftw. Though Yoko earned a bit of coolness back there at the end. Still, Nia ftw. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
MasterChief said: yeah, preferred Nia with long hair =( I always prefer long hair, but oh well, Nia is still great. In fact, this whole episode just kept showing how much better she is than Yoko (except with a rifle of course)! As an obligatory beach episode, it was okay I guess. I'm actually glad they didn't overdo it. Now I'm a sucker for an eye patch, but attacking Nia immediately turned me against Adiane. 2 down, 2 to go. Then it's time for Genome! Statement: Viral is still the best bad guy. No arguments. slackerpaul said: not sure if i like the new haircut or not. we'll next ep. Yoko put more on at the beach(WTF?) I knew that was going to happen when everyone was waiting for her, but that still didn't stop me finding it hilarious. Am I the only one who likes a little left to the imagination? Actually, what am I saying, of course I am... Snoux said: I like Viral, but tell me something: How the hell could he survive that explosion? See statement above. |

| Nice episode. |
 |
| Ah Nia <3. I love when she shows up in her one piece lol. Favorite line from this episode. "Unfortunately, we are that stupid." YOKO ROX! |

| Obligatory beach episode, check. That ep was good but had a bit too much fanservice and bizarre lolicon-ness for Nia. But I did think the SimonxNia bits were cute :P And Yoko seemed shocked at wearing a swimsuit when her normal clothes are more revealing than any swimsuit.. LOL |
 |
slackerpaul said: not sure if i like the new haircut or not. we'll next ep. Yoko put more on at the beach(WTF?) longer hair is always better to me, why the creators insist on having their female characters cut their hair short mystifies me |
 |
| Well, long hair, in most cases, might be appealing, but sorry, not in Nia's case. She already got enough of a cheesy and dumb appearance of long hair. Too much of a stereotype. Oh-My-Goddess look-alike, geez geez !... Short hair, gives her more of a distinct look, plus it's better for her lively face. |

Snoux said: I like Viral, but tell me something: How the hell could he survive that explosion? Hmmmmm because it's an anime ? It's like how Simon is still alive after all those fights, lol. You shouldn't question the absolutes, XD |

| Nice episode, really funny, especially the part when Yoko showed herself to the boys ^^ And that nosebleed combo, hiliarious ! :) But how the hell did Viral survive ? |
| Thank you for the haircut yoko XD poor viral...... |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| Best episode so far. That was just awesome. |

| Things went back to normal, lots of humor/action in this episode. Can't have enough of this series. xD |
UchihaItachi6660 said: We had a few Evangelion-ish cross explosions there Yeah that was cool! |
| After Kamina died, I started to get bored with this anime because of Nia. How much I like Yoko that means how much I hate Nia in this episode, but still, I refered Nia's long hair. Poor Viral, I feel sorry for him ( I hope Simon gets with Yoko too but that didn't come true>.>) |
| Hey, Yoko finally did something useful. I hope that keeps up. Nia for me is bordering on a very fine line between "totally awesome" and "stop shoving her sweetness down my throat oh my god I hate her" Nobody commented on this, but I liked Adiane's swimsuit pic at the break. yum. Usually, Adiane is too wigged out to be "hot" but for just that one stillshot I could dig it. |
 |
| I liked Nia with long hair better, but whatever. Nice to see her getting along with Yoko now. Nia really is a good "replacement" for Kamina - not that Kamina could ever be replaced, but just like him, she believes in everyone unconditionally and entirely. :) |
| This episode was okay. |
| '...Frustrated?' - Leeron wins. I think he's becoming my new favourite xD I only wish Kamina could've made it to this episode *__* -nosebleed- But honestly, we've already seen him with nothing but...well, Boota. Plus, he was a Walking Shirtless Scene. I'll survive. -sniff-, Kamina. Still not over him xD And lol, the clown guy was finally of use - 'Who cares. FIRE!' I like Yoko/Nia as friends :D Viral seems like he'll be back for revenge. Good, I like him. |

| There's always gotta be a swimsuit episode XD Nia is sickeningly nice ;o |
 |
| Finally, someone cut Nia's hair! I hated that puffy rabbit-hair like thing, that and her voice were so stereotypical it was kind of throwing me off from the parts of the show which focus on her. She looks awesome with short hair, it suits her much better. And I am the kind of guy who adores long hair, both in anime and irl, but Nia looks much better with short hair. |
| great beach episode but it seemed like nia was making yoko seem useless at the beach i mean she has some pride as a woman right? lol at her haircut |
