Sasuga, A-1.

Yeah, the top guys at A-1 totally are directing the show.

Anyway, it's impossible to tell if the characters are going to be "generic". Right now, I can only say they are plain. Generic is the wrong word. They just need more development.

Seriously wtf was that at the end?
PD: you can see the water turning red on the spot the thing hit, If Canaria is alive it would be a giant plot armor, cross ange style


I had to go take a look again because I hadn't even noticed XD From the looks of it... Either the creature is still there and a part of it is sticking out of the water... or Canaria is pretty much dead and that's one of her limbs floating up to the surface...

That was pretty sudden. I was expecting a collapse, kidnap, demonic possession or pretty much anything but a giant rock(or whatever that is) to fall on her. Just when I thought thinks would normalize a bit. Also what's up with not showing the final move? Everyone is looking for that. They didn't even show the giant guy torn into pieces. Such a lazy animation.

I watched that part probably a dozen times and I can't tell wtf it is. I thought it was going to be here floating up but let be serious the way that hit she is in pieces or mush underneath that thing. There's no way that could be blood, well I don't think anyways. Looks like something in the water. If I had to guess someone came and grabbed her at the last second and that thing that poppped up is a dead "unknown" that was following them.

I was thinking the same thing. I know that's what she was going to say-leave it to some random meteor/slash Giant black Rock to screw that up.


If she is truly dead I have lost all interest in this show. I like the two sibling pairings, without them I really don't care for the show too much. Both pairings seem to have a more intimate relationship than they should it seems. Canaria more than the other pair.

Please come back Canaria lol

After watching it a few more times that's what it seems to be. Not the best animation, the way it sits it's a pretty big cliffhanger.

I'm gonna be real after she ended up feeling fine in the hospital I didn't except her to go out like that. Damn, on the one hand her dying (if she really did just die) will make for some good drama and further character developing on Icchan's part (or actually maybe a regression because he already changed) but on the other hand if she dies I won't get to hear that lovely OST anymore. What a dilemma.

Anyway I'm still really liking this show--despite the obviously flaws

Wont be much charters left to develop is she dies. Only decent one and that ost being gone will kill the mood for future episode. I wonder will future episode give an answer or will it be like an arc for one question. Really curious how that thing got so close undetected anyway.

"generic" ... The comments here are even funnier, because if that anime was a harem, nobody would complain about the story or the battle animation, and everyone would praise the truly generic boob jiggles.

Jokes aside, I'm still going to stick with it, as long as it's not unwatchably bad.
After rewatching the scene, I think some monster chomped clean Canaria, the bridge, and even the ground is shaped like a smooth half-tunnel. There IS blood, I don't know how some people here can feel insecure and claim it's only darkening. There is no way it was just a rock, she's not going to survive. I still have no idea how they went into the no-entry zone though.

I was close to dropping this because of last week and most of today's episode. Especially since the defeat of the giant Unknown was STILLS. Seriously, who wants to watch a boss that needs 3 different armies from 3 different cities to be defeated in a still shot?

Imagine fucking Aizen from Bleach or Father from FMAB lose in still shots? That would piss me off to no end. Save the still shots for the small fry.

Anyways, Ichiya sorta redeemed himself a little when he recognized his mistakes, working as a team and by planning to ask for a demotion...only to let Canaria know he's gonna overtake her soon anyways. Arrogant prick is still arrogant.

I would've dropped this today if it wasn't for the soundtrack, Maihime being adorable and that cliffhanger. So this series is safe for one more week.

Hmm, that ending was rather weird and it seems more like A-1 Pictures is declining on the animation department, which is rather very weird as fuck with the exception of maybe a few shows, mostly they would have nice budget to cover at least a bit of it, but it seems like they hired some pretty newb animation directors or key animators to make this.

I thought the episode was fine though, I did enjoyed it for the characters though.

So things got moderately better, MC learns the art of cooperation and non-self centeredness and then when all was supposed to be good..........WHAM random thing suddenly "eats" up Canaria and whatever solid material was on there. She so seriously cannot be off'd but her being removed (for what I believe a substantial amount of time) will put on quite the hindrances, for the MCs will no longer have their buffer. I bet she will live, I mean that confession cannot end like that, but.....oh lord this was so sudden.

And when I was discouraged with the whole cliche plot of this episode, with the thought of "united we stand" (for more rough it was, I was enjoying the Ichiya's personality), and the animation that left to be desired, then there is a plot twist, and Canaria disappears from view of Ichiya, I look forward to see what happened to her and how Ichiya will act from now on ..

Everything was wrong with this episode...
The art was horrible as Hell ...
1 slap in the face was all the punishment the MC got for almost getting his team killed by disobeying orders ? Not to mention he got to take part in the Counter Offence and lead it ??
Canaria joining the battle just after waking up from a life threatening injury and her team allowing it?
I wouldn't be surprised if they pull some sort of bullshit and let Canaria survive that last attack..
Oh, and again, THE ART WAS HORRIBLE !!!

What in the actual fuck did they do to the animation LOL? It took such a turn from the previous episodes. So many stills in the episode that were not needed and they had terrible art on it with outta placed guns, faces, etc. Definitely the worst episode of the show so far.

...And that ending? What the actual hell.

It's being produced by A-1, and like all other anime produced by A-1, their quality drops drastically after a few episodes in. This one is no different. I don't see how your unneeded insult, which was removed, was needed.

It's not idiotic at all. A-1 is the animation studio. Everything ties in to one another. Letting something like this go through is absolutely shameful.

This is not complicated. A-1 Pictures is credited for making this. They put their name and label on it. They are simply "A-1 Pictures." Not "A few people at A-1 Pictures."
