| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Dang, I like the theme songs they used for this OVA. Well, it's catchy anyways. Well it was an OVA I suppose. I wasn't too used to that new girl though. She seems a bit nervous. Oh and ofc, we have some fan service for the ladies ;) Anyways, it was a relaxing OVA until the second half regarding what Ledo's point of view. My favorite thing about the OVA though? Seeing Chamber in this!  |
 |
| Interesting first OVA Nice teamwork there, lots of flashbacks to Chamber, and dat bathing scene with Dat Bellows Ass The ending took me by surprise as well, looking forward to the second OVa and where do they go with this revelation. |

| Yeah that ending... :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| I wonder how long this will take to get subbed... |
themorry said: so this OVA is actually a sequel? Meaning that chamber is gone? It's a sequel, as for Chamber being gonne, well... maybe. |
 |
| That was a good OVA. It was nice seeing Chamber again in that flashback. That ending though. |
 |
| BDs are coming out on the 21st of November, if you're looking for subs I recommend waiting for that since it has english subs included, AnchanZSubs are just terrible. |
|
| Holly crap, that was awful. So much bullshit spouting and lamest cliches imaginable. And that nothing-interesting-is-happening montage at the end. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Pretty weird for them to release an hour long OVA but it's alright. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Woah...never expected to be another Machine Caliber, from that blonde girl no less... Who is she really? I wish Chamber would come back, as unlikely as that's going to be. I kind of hoped that this would get a full 2nd season, but without Chamber, I guess that's asking for too much. At least the 2 OVA's are movie-sized, so it's like 4 regular episodes. Was expecting Amy and Ledo to smooth lol. |
| I have to say that this was one of my favorite series associated with the mecha genre when it first came out, but I'm sorry. Plot-wise this OVA was pretty horrible. Everything just seemed predictable to me and though it was great to see Chamber again in a flashback, the story just fell apart for me in the first 20 minutes. Amy seemed pretty unbearable to me in this OVA for some reason too which is weird because she didn't bother me at all before. Anyways, the ending I didn't see coming and hope the next episode really hits it outta the park. |
 |
| The new machine caliber at the end reminds me of an M9 Armslave from Fullmetal Panic, more or less the Arbalest, just more edgy then smooth. |

| That hug at end is <333 I cant wait who's that machine at the end o.O |
| Liked it, the first few episodes of the TV series were really good and the start of the OVA came close to being as good, but Ledo is already a fully developed character at this point so it's just not the same. The flashback was also really good, had me on the edge of my seat, the last part was alright too, not sure how I feel about the other Machine Caliber, depends on what they do with it I guess. I'm kinda hoping for a S2 announcement in the next episode, they touched on the aliens' subject a bit and how they could find Earth and all and I could see that as being a decent S2, on the other hand I'd like them to go back and show a bit more of what happened at the end of S1, the ending came too quick and it'd be nice to see more of Ledo trying to fit in the community, I was hoping these OVAs would do that but oh well. It doesn't really matter what they do though, this cast of characters is a strong one and they can carry this show very well even with nothing happening. |
|
| really enjoyed this ova, love seeing chamber again,even if its only in flashback and after seeing dat ending, i kinda bummed,i was expecting more plot with hideauze/whalesquid,not machine caliber #3 :( but its great cliffhanger anyway,gonna looking forward who actually is leema in the next ova |
 |
| That was a good OVA. Although that end was confusing...was that Reema's Machine Caliber? |
 |
| I like the Specials and OVAs for "Suisei no Gargantia" more than the show itself at this point. Production I.G. did a fine job with the second Special and this OVA as well, being a full hour in length. It was nice to see Ledo looking sun-baked, since he progressively got more and more tanned as the show went on. Also, did the design of Bellows look a bit different to anyone else? AnchanZSubs's work with this was quite incomprehensible unfortunately. |
 |
| Someone quick translate what the Caliber at the end talks about! |
| Don't attribute maliciousness when stupidity is enough to explain what happens |
| This was great, everything about the OVA was well done. And Ledo x Amy is my 3rd favorite ship/couple after Hei x Yin and Eren x Mikasa. |
 is that machine caliber??? |
 |
| What is Leema doing? O_O |
| The hug scene is one of those moments where you go "Just kiss already!" Hahaha Seems like Aleena got a whole lot more interesting. Can't wait to find out more to the story next episode! |
| Ah I miss this show !! |
| Oh i missed this show so much. that was a good OVA. Looking forward for more Amy. <3 |
| yoooooooooooo that ending yoooooooooooo also JUST KISS ALREADY!!! |
 |
| 5/5 Episode that could be used better, but I can not complain, as well entertained all the time. Narration much SOL, which may annoy at first, but over the course of the story then we realize why this setting. The designs of the characters are always great and the scenes are never recycled, this shows a high budget made available to the production. The animations are fluid and vivid colors are beautiful. Very interesting is the final part, I thought about the role of Leema was only boundary; what a nice surprise. In the episode underlines once again the important role that the Chamber plays in the TV series. I await with interest the next OVA. For now, my vote is 8/10! |

| The story for this OVA was pretty meh, but as always I love the care with which the world of Gargantia was designed and filled out. Love those colours. And Bellows...damned she's still so fine. |

| I truly had forgotten about how well done & colourful the artwork in Gargantia. So Ledo could not communicate others when he was trapped because the cable was unplugged? What about radio transmission? |
| I like anime. |
| bellows still hot, im a sucker for morena girls and that new girl Reema has a Machine Caliber wtf |
| What does the title mean? Who is Haruka? Pat_To_Do-List said: What about radio transmission? They never had it? It wasn't very smart to plug those anchors there. I knew it the moment they did so If they had abandoned Leo there, after all he did for them, I would despise them. Sure it may have been smarter decision, but I still would despise them So there's the ejected cockpit left 4kicks said: Was expecting Amy and Ledo to smooth lol. Ando- said: The hug scene is one of those moments where you go "Just kiss already!" Hahaha I guess I am not the only one, but I thought that it would be somewhat inappropriate, considering the feelings of all others involved - they were dead worried about Leo and they may relate to that hugging, but kissing uhh... Well maybe only a few of them, and rather, the opposite to relate... AnimeGURU475 said: also JUST KISS ALREADY!!! True Ando- said: Seems like Aleena got a whole lot more interesting. Can't wait to find out more to the story next episode! You mean Leema? Paulo27 said: The flashback was also really good, had me on the edge of my seat Skullcrusher said: The storm flashback really great, and as usual, great arts, great songs, perfect. Well yes, but Amy was ranting how Leo found a way during the storm so I was really excited and expected some dramatical solution but it turned out he didn't do anything special and just acted in the most ordinary way, so it was somewhat of a let-down Stark700 said: My favorite thing about the OVA though? Seeing Chamber in this! Can't believe how much I miss him, of all characters... Zel_Ezl said: I cant wait who's that machine at the end o.O Paulo27 said: not sure how I feel about the other Machine Caliber, depends on what they do with it I guess. Yeah jackaus said: A second chamber would be tolled in during the battle sequences in the first episode which the original pilot in it died and the captain managed to recover it during his time ruling the group of ships. That's a one way to put it in |

| Gargantia goodness, Was on the edge of my seat during Ledo's rescue. Ledo x Amy Another Machine Calibur : O |
| Leema seemed pretty interesting just as a naive girl from Kugel's fleet with a crush on Ledo, but then we get this out of the blue, wtf ending. This is definitely a Gen Urobichi work. |

Kesser said: Well, this new mech may not be a GA Machine Caliber, but some kind of older model, left from the original war. They "dig out" ships, why not mechs from the previous eras? Sounds like a plausible explanation |
|
| Beautiful OVA. Glad to see again Chamber and Ledo (^v^)/. The tempest flashback was pretty good. I'm looking ofrward to the second part ! |
Bella-desu said: Did anyone notice that Ledo has his own squirrel/chipmunk pet companion now? and i think it's a female. It's so cute :) I thought he got it in TV series and I forgot about it |
|
| Loved it :) Really brought back my love for the series. Amy and ledo are so cute, and that ending o.o |
  |
| Bellows was like "No, we can't save him anymore" then everybody started diving and she follows and says they should trust her >.> what a b***** :P Anyhows I liked this OVA and am looking forward for the next one. |

You sure? Seems to be speaking the "alien" language. It also looks considerably older than the modern Machine Calibers Chamber and Striker.

| A lot of flashbacks just for the sake of Chamber but it wasn't really bad. I wonder who Reamer is though, she is too knowledgable to be simple engineer who built her own mecha. Is she some one of Kugel's princessess or even someone from Ledo's space? |
mrnu said: Maybe it's just me, but it was much more boring than TV series. I was expecting more serious plot. It was just not enough exciting. I agree, also Gargantia without Chamber is pretty meh. It wasn't bad, but boring.. |
