THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I just saw this RAW. As I am writing this I have tears falling. I don't kow what to say anything but since following the beginning of this series that this really hurt me inside. SO MANY DEAD! It makes me think of Iraq. IAHVE NEVER BEEN SO EMOTIONAL IN MACROSS TILL NOW! The toll of feelings in reality would be too much to even support this.

R.I.P. MICHAEL LEBLANC MAY YOU REST WITH YOUR SISTER WELL!
R.I.P. MR.GLASS THOUGH YOU LEAVE A DAUGHTER I HOPE YOU OK IN HEAVEN.

DAMN YOU GRACE AND LEON! For causing all these deaths and RUINING FRONTIER!
LIKED:
-Not much but I found it VERY TOUCHING the kiss between Klan and Michael but also SO MUCH PAIN when she saw him be killed in front of her eyes.
-The fighting is good but it seems IT IS VERY MUCH IN CHAOS!

That's about it and I don't even have any motivation to write the hate list since there so much but in general I HATE: THE DESTRUCTION, DEATHS (MUCHO BLOOD SPLATTERED) AND SADNESS OF THIS EPISODE. ALSO HATE HATE HATE: GRACE AND LEON.

MAKES ME WANT TO GO INTO THE ANIME AND JUST RIP AND BURN THE HEADS AND BODIES OF LEON AND GRACE. IF I WAS IN THE ANIME.

See when subs are out and you all TRY NOT TO WASTE TOO MANY TEARS SINCE WE STILL HAVE TO SURVIVE THE SADNESS OF THIS REAL WORLD!

No way Ranka wins this triangle after the way they have depicted her in the last 5 episodes and especially this one. Sheryl's slap to her was well deserved, "I want to die" after seeing alto and sheryl hugging, give me a fucking break.

Sheryl's Diamond Crevasse in this episode was well done, liked the difference in this one compared to the original version. Best of the 3 versions so far imo. Sheryl and Alto's scenes were again good.

And damn Michael RIP, at least you went out in a good way.

This was pure awesomeness. Good way of handling drama without exaggerating things. Also, Michael

    Sheryl's diamond crevasse made that scene so depressing and amazing. Klan having to watch Michal die right in-front of her....why do i get the feeling that she will die also?

    You're not the only one but look at it the positive way...at least she will go all out and trust me, I have seen heighten combat psychological value in females when their love ones die; specifically moments before that screw in the brain turns.

    All I got to say is: KLAN IF YOU DIE AT LEAST BLOW, RIP AND SHRED VAJRAS TO PIECES MORE THAN THE LIMIT OF THE SKY ALLOWS. In other words kill as many as you can before you die.

    Trust me friend I would do the same if I was in their shoes.

    they're really drove in the emotional aspect of the fighting in this episode.

    RIP Michel... you might've been a playboy... but at least you died honorably protecting the girl you love.

    Ok, another emotional coaster again. Guess I got too much time in the army so I can relate to it. From the looks of things for next episode this will get solved but Michael :(
    he won't come back and so much grief left = to a complete down moral.

    ONE MORE THING: DIE LEON AND GRACE. DIE VAJRA SCUMS!

    Progressing through this episode I was sure that Sheryl would be the one meeting her end. I should have known it would be Michel once Klan confessed. A lot happened this episode, all the more reason for me to love a series that isn't afraid of killing off it's main/sub characters.

    Rest in Peace Michael. You will be missed.

    another stellar episode. the development of Klan and Michael's relationship was bittersweet. its a shame that it was on the same episode as Michael's demise. and indeed, Diamond Crevasse did make his death all the more tragic.

    Because she actually has someone to look forward to if it happens?

    Finally, a death scene that really carries some weight.

    Agreed, but i guess he still has a role to forfill in the series. Still not sure what his relation with Leon is.

    RIP michel !! (nice finish though)

    pissed off Klan seems to go berserk in preview, can't wait
    Ranka is overreacting (as usual, oh my god they are hugging, they must love each other. I won't ask if it's true but they hug so it MUST be true, sigh)
    Ah darnit, why must Grace have such a power over Brera, i'm sure he would act different if it weren't, so she must DIE.
    Leon is an ass, well at least kudos for seeing his coup d'etat trough to the end. I wonder what he has in store for the frontier.

    Looks like the Vajra were seriously multiplying in the frontier, just look at their numbers. Guess frontier isn't well maintenanced if they can't find 1 of the so many Vajra larves.

    Kinda silly that only Luca would know that Ai was a larve, i'd say the first thing you do when you're under attack is to let everyone know who or what the enemy is. Since they didn't, aa well suprise turns out your little pet becomes a monster, sorry we forgot to mention that.

    Anyways 5/5 this episode, lots of action/drama, great !

    This episode was epic. Worst thing about it all was, me and my mate were betting that either Michael or Klan would die. I should really stop betting on character deaths. Now to bet that Grace gets the karmic retribution she deserves and dies painfully many, many times.

    I didn't watch this until now since someone spoiled it for me. I didn't want to accept it. At least they sent him off right. However, I must say, I'm rather saddened that Michael died. I always liked the guy, and this just made me like him more =/ Many manly tears found their way to the resting place in my palms tonight. BAAAAAWWWWWW

    I can explain the cloth taking off in the science terms.
    For fanservice maybe that is one way.

    The other way is the machine for miclones to Full size Meltrian does not accept anything but flesh to do transfer and that is why.

    Another reason is obvious the conversion would destroy her clothes. I am sure it has to do with the machine specs.

    Great episode, though it was obvious that either Michel or Klan will die. But I like how they killed him, it was cool and there won't be anyone saying he'll be back like people usually do.

    And Diamond Crevasse made it touching too. Too bad this version is not on the OST.

    This is episode is just epic..

    By the time it reached Michael’s death, I almost shed a tear..
    Even though I expected it too happen (after reading the spoilers), it was still sad..very sad..
    Especially with Sheryl’s singing accompanying the epic scene..
    Haven’t felt this way in a long time..

    That is completely WACK! Why would they put in the other version the earrings? Just THAT tells us that it's Sheryl. Hmmmmm so she really was adopted by Mao and experimented on.
