| Ah, Ichigo, you dumbass, you finally understand now. Megane-kun is the one for you, not Hiro, Hope this stays within your freaking head from now on. uninstallthegame said: man, why are so many people disliking ichigo, she's a nice character, far better than 002 People (Like me) Dislikes Ichigo for being so obsessed with Hiro when she has Megane-kun caring for her 24/7 and for being such a third wheel when it comes to Zero Two. I also dislike Ichigo for being your typical Childhood friend that thinks she has the right for the D just because they were friends earlier. Gladly, this episode redeemed her from falling into that category and finally realized how much Megane-kun cares for her. |

| It was actually really good, I enjoyed it. It was the first scene that focuses on actual romance in the anime (not hinted or vague). I just wished Ichigo would say she loves him too so Zero Two can get Hiro all to himself. But i'd rate the episode 8/10 and can't wait to see the next episode and how the romance evolves in the future |

| I was scared the entire episode for Goro, so glad he survived and got to confess his feelings for Ichigo. Another episode where no one dies is a good episode. |

| I like this development, better to get this out of the way right now and hopefully the whole Ichigo wanting Hiro is a thing of the past now Ready for more actual story and world building |
| I don't get why a lot of people are disappointed with the last episodes, they help developing the relashionships between the main characters and we needed something like that since apart from Hiro and Zero Two, we knew almost nothing about the others. I must say i'm starting to like Ichigo more, and Goro too. The thing is, i think the reason why people are reacting like this is because the actual main story plot isn't moving foward and well.. i can agree with that, maybe it would have been better if they mixed the actual plot with developing the characters and their relationships but it doesn't make these episodes bad at all. (Episode 7 and 8 even had some actual plot story in them, just not this one.) And... Miku is still best grill~ ×w× |

And if she was, somehow, I would hate it. I hate the Mary Sue kind of character. The problem here is Ichigo never acts like she's the leader, she just says she is and this is something she often likes to say. I don't understand why exactly she received this position. She has been so disappointing compared to the other characters, so lame, that I would like if Miku goes there and beat the shit out of her. |

She's good piloting, of course she is good leading the team. Goro could be a much better leader than her. |

She has been so disappointing compared to the other characters, so lame, that I would like if Miku goes there and beat the shit out of her. If i remember, Ichigo and Goro became the leader of group because they have fewer and smaller number than the others(015 and 056), the real chosen male leader before was Hiro(016) because he is the next number after Ichigo, but he was failed miserably to test drive Franxx with her partner before ZeroTwo. Maybe for this. But I don't think her partner is included in this "leadership". |
poortier_boy said: Great. She's good piloting, of course she is good leading the team. Goro could be a much better leader than her. I agree but she is considered the best of the group. Goro is only "056". It should be 002 and Hiro, but no one trusts 002 except Hiro since the beginning and gradually the other children. |
| @Tomlora Thing is, people need to understand that Zero Two is not the only main character, as there are 9 other ones. They are not there to be just background characters, and people who think like that piss me off, i mean if they just want to see her in the screen then they can just seach for her fanarts and whatever they want since this is not Zero Two The Anime. I do like her a lot, i am just triggered for seeing people acting like this. |

I do like her a lot, i am just triggered for seeing people acting like this. I agree. But these people prefer when the anime focuses on one or two characters. It's their preferences, we can not help them. For me, the only point that bothers me is the drop in intensity since episode 7 ... But I hope it comes back soon after an element that will upset everything. Fujimiya said: 02 is "special species", i believe she is not on the parasites norm and nomencelature. Hiro is also "special", for a reason we do not know (like Nana, Hachi, APE said, and maybe 002 knows also why) |
| The action parts are so badly written, it's almost comedy. No strategy to approach the "bad monster". One just get caught (while the others are watching tv or drinking tea). Of course there's only a "one man evacuation capsule". Makes sense. not. How to save desperate Gobro ? Just swim in and out. Easy! (Not that they could have done it earlier, of course not) And drop a bomb in the same. Easy. At least this time, they didn't went with the "OP 02 going through the monster in 5 seconds" resolution. It's an improvement. Having said that, they got me with the teen romance confession. Very cheesy but well, I liked it. Like some says before me, it's probably better to watch this show for the "teen school life" aspect (even though here too, it's sometimes pretty bad) and the world building (when it happens, only with the swimsuit option or the targeted audience won't watch it) than anything else. I like ... the colors too :) |

Some of them are just introduced to slowdown the story and drag things up into unnecessary drama that is meant to make her suffer and make us "feel bad" for her but in the end it backfires (A cliché event for this kind of show is that the girl ends dying because she can't focus due to reasons and her death will probably means that the MC will also lose focus and then fuck up) This time is done well since Ichigo finally understands that Goro cares a lot for her, meaning that she won't get in the way later. If things goes right and she stays with Goro I'll probably lose my dislike against her |

| Ok episode about Goro and Ichigo relationship, love triangle is strong. :D |
| The death flags sure was raised for Goro the whole episode and wow, he actually came out of this alive. Ichigo is starting to feel more like a main character than Zero Two, a lot of stuff recently have been around her. |
 |
| It was a good episode, I liked that Goro developed a bit more as character. I find the whole aspect of them not knowing love very interesting, curious to see how it turns out in later episodes. I hope the next episode is going to move the main plot forward, though. |
 |
| While I would have liked more progress with the plot, Goro getting the spotlight in this episode was good. I personally prefer character-driven stories, so the slower pacing is acceptable. Thus far, I see this as a blend of Anohana and EVA, which is fine. 4/5 |
| FFRRIIEEENNDZOOONNEEEEEEDD. Sorry Goro. You're a true bro. Well it seems the producers want to extend the drama of Ichigo having the feels for Hiro a bit longer. Because it's pretty clear that it's all 02 for him and nothing else. As much as I think these teen love/drama episodes are ok, I'd love to have an episode that fleshes out/gives background to this world. |

| Did anyone scream "JUST KISS ALREADY" at the end..... No? Just me? Ok I'll leave now ;_; |
| As much as I enjoyed seeing Goro alive and well and the confession and all, part of me was kinda hoping Goro died in this episode, to start the transition into a more dark theme I still feel like the hamartia point of this show is gonna approach soon |

ferrisdesu said: I was expecting more action, but it's good to see Goro finally getting some spotlight Now we can focus 100% on Zero Two and Hiro :v Not really The author said "1 episode hightlights 1 couple" It's missing 2 couples. |
| Anyone else waiting for the anime to take a dark turn? It might be great if everyone made it out alive but damn I don't wanna get fooled with the "oh look a happy endi... dead" type of deal. |
| In my opinion, this was the worst episode of the show so far. It really felt like a generic A1-Pictures anime episode. |
| Gobro continues to be a shining beam of light |

Even if I like his character, his death would be a great emotional charge. Just repeating myself. TrainLucifer said: Did anyone scream "JUST KISS ALREADY" at the end..... No? Just me?

| Thats a nice flag to the death of Megane kun. Ichigo cannot Love 2 guys at the same time, so if in the end or before of that she "miracle" find out she always liked Goro or be rejected by Hiro and tries to go for Him will be the weirdest Shoujo Trigger ever made. Hope not see the same kind of development Chidori had in Kiznaiver. ... |

|
| They actually went the entire episode involving a fight scene without pointless fanservice or sexual undertones that make you cringe and look at the quality jump. Fucking finally. Also, I was scared Gobro was gonna be the first to go but glad he got the spotlight this time around. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I guess it's Christmas day there since they all get presents from Papa on that specific day. I have a book about birds somewhere, got it years ago. That was very nice of Hiro to give something to Zero Two. 2 impressive pieces of work by Goro, first confessing his love of Ichigo to Hiro & then helping her escape during the battle. Yes those 2 really make a great team, good thinking there to blow it up from the inside. I knew Goro would be able to give her the hair clip he made the moment I saw Ichigo lose hers when swimming toward him, he even told her his feeling. This was a pretty good episode. |

raph589 said: NGE also very heavily relied on this theme, and it's still talked about today and considered a masterpiece by many. And yes, there WAS worldbuilding and plot development in this episode (mostly the scene where they get gifts), just like every week. It's just really subtle and not "in your face"). Keep in mind this is a 24 episodes show and a lot can happen yet. Most of NGE (to keep the comparison going)'s episodes were monster of the week format until the plot really started moving forward. please don't compare these two shows, most likely you will get shit from the fanboys over here. i personally don't find much resemblance between them |
