disliked it.
seems like the animator likes tessa more than kaname.
ughhh.i was waiting for kaname to show up.then she didnt even have a minute worth of screentime in this episode.

and when tessa was bragging to mao that she can pilot the AS, i was like, "good then. at least even if you cant protect yourself(even though YOU ARE A CAPTAIN) and you have an annoying voice,at least you're good at something other than saying out orders".

but then it turned out like that. what she did is as good as cheating.
yea and i dont like the way it ended


All of this.
It was so infuriating that after the stupid little chipmunk bitch antagonized Melissa, compared her to a hooker, and then lied her prissy little ass off about knowing how to pilot an AS, that she should WIN after all of that? So. Annoyed.

(Not to mention how uncute and creepy her sexual harassment of Sousuke was, like he tried to scoot away from her for god knows how long, ew. Give me Kaname bonking him on the head a hundred times over Tessa and her disregard for other people's feelings and creep ass 'claim' on him. Barf.)

I need to watch the next episode to cleanse my soul. (hopefully tessa isn't in it, or at least she's respectful to personal space and feelings.)
2/5

Oh darn, was hoping Mao would win. At the same time I definitely woulda enjoyed her paying the penalty more. XD Anyway another one-off. Jarring comedic tonal shift at first compared to last episode, but there were some tears by the end. Literally 15 seconds or so of Kaname compared to Teletha flirting like crazy with Sousuke. Girl was practically dry humping him at one point!...she still has no chance. XD

I didn't realize that an episode without Chidori (for the most part) was going to be so relaxing.
I actually didn't notice she was grating on my nerves until she wasn't grating on my nerves.
Amazing.
But the thing is, she isn't bad, really! I guess the tsundere and misunderstanding stuff just gets you down after a while.;;

I was hoping they'd go through with the nekkid run around the base...but I'm not surprised it didn't happen...sigh.

Nice episode as far as fillers go.

Not bad. A little break from the main action for some laughs and character development.

This episode kind of acted as a reliever. Well it would have been fun, if the promise the two ladies made; of running a lap naked then this episode might have a little exciting. In the end both the women came to realization of each others' responsibilities. Just a question, how a in the world a 16 yr old girl became he commander of an entire unit ?????

That episode was pleasant enough. I believe it was a filler episode though.

Damn, Tessa has a really aggressive side to her huh. That training in the beach made me lol so hard. So far, I think she's a better match to Sousuke.

Tessa is best girl! When she said she might be falling in love with our serious sergeant Sousuke towards the end of episode 12. II was so happy, imo Sousuke x Tessa is the best ship. However i get the feeling that it won't end that way and the tsundere Kaname will end up with Sousuke in the end...

Anyway it was great getting to see Sousuke coach Tessa on how to pilot an AS. Really enjoyed that moment when Tessa fell on top of Sousuke, sadly there was no kiss scenes even if the ambiance was perfect...

interesting perspective to Tessas character, I wonder what her relationship with big titty binge drinking oneesan is

It is for Madoka alone." - Homura

since the very first time i'm still asking... what a weird title for the episode, even if it's a good one.

However, Tessa and Mao arguing hard never fails to make me laugh. The former can be uptight and annoying often, but she had a point to complain about the latter's obnoxious unladylike attitude. It was also amusing how Mao dished it out but couldn't take it herself, before and after the stupid little ballet or whatever it is. And why did she put underwear on her head at the end, what is this, Weird Science?

Once again i forgot Chidori wasn't completely absent, but the focus is on someone else (also, Kurz was wise in telling drunk Mao she should have avoided to set the bet). And once again, i'm glad Sagara immediately asked Tessa to stop calling him coach, it was annoying. And thank you that during the obvious accidental fall, it's a miracle, no one else saw that happening and jumped to conclusions. Challenge... finally not impossible anymore.

In hindsight the outcome was obvious and Mao ate a needed piece of humble pie, desperately trying to deny how salty she had become about losing. Too bad for Kurz, the penalty was too good for him to happen for real and... double kick.
