| More backstory involving Claire and Kal for the most part. Damn her past is pretty intrigued, yet the more she hides it, the more painful it is to say it. Wonder how she will manage to say it in front of Kal. |
| Awaiting Karl's reaction |
| Its already episode 5 ...I am waiting for someone to make a review of this anime as I have yet watch it >< |

| good episode,claire past was interesting I think. |
  "Here's our chance! Let's go!" |
| Well,this reminds me of code geass a bit,it also reminds me of most hollywood movies ,has the same "vibe" as them. Dont get me wrong its an amazing piece of art this is. |
 |
| expected backstory for claire. Knew she was being used because a what? 9 year old? isn't that löikely to be the mastermind of a plot to overthrow the king (unless her name is Kate Hoshimiya) I expect her powers make a return next episode. either because she wants to save someone, or because they weren't lost to begin with, just locked (maybe something psychological) On a side note: I hate C-c-c-c-chuubreaker! scenes <.< |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Swimsuits passed by this time I like Claire's backstory, her windmagic looks cool It reminded me of Mikasa for a bit when she got sold off, so sad The aerial battle at the end was nice, hoping for more next |
| Good episode. And here Claire's history demonstrates that she has had just as bad a upbringing, if not worse than, as Karl. Now the problem is how Claire might get over her guilt and how Karl might get over his hatred. Two things of note: 1) The new government convinced Karl to go to Isla knowing that he has the intent to avenge his family and the the person who appears to be in charge of Isla said that they have no home to return to. Isla is clearly intended as a place of exile, though perhaps not everyone knows about this. And the new government likely wants to have the people of Isla finished off by People of the Sky. 2) Claire supposedly no longer has her powers. I'm going to venture to guess that either the necklace has sealed it for the time being, or that her guilt has psychologically blocked her from using it. Regardless, I doubt that she's become a normal person. Again, I'd be just incredibly mad if either Karl or Claire dies. |

It has had lots of flashbacks lately, and things like the Ariel's and Igna's training is missing. I really wish this was 2-cour. I feel like there's tons of stuff they could have shown but since we only have 13 episodes, only the more relevant points are included. But still, I think the staff is doing a good job with the storytelling even in its compressed form. Agreed. This show feels like it could be 2-cour instead of 1. Still a surprisingly solid show this season(in a mostly lackluster Winter season), of course, but they could do so much more with it if it were a longer series. But hey, let's just hope it doesn't get rushed in the end. So far, so good. |

Because not only does it have characters with complex and relevant backstories, but the premise is very intriguing as well. I'd very much like to know more about the kingdom/country itself, and more details about the legend of St Aldista (?), the old and new government, and the academy. Then there is, of course, the actually story in the present which is always progressing in a promising way. |

| Another good episode. Claire's ability to control the wind must come in to play later in the series. |
 |
| Damn... her mother sold her for the sake of her family. That's really sad :( |
| Claire tripped but Kal-el managed to be the one on top.... only in anime very nice episode.. I simply love the story.. part of me says I want them to be together but deep inside I want everyone responsible for than incident to suffer... damn |
 |
| Yet another boring episode. Nothing ever happens. Claire's back story didn't fall as flat as Karl's, the execution of it was better. Overall, it's managed to make hang on for one more episode, at least, even when I feel I should be dropping it. So, hopefully next week something will actually happen. I think the only redeeming quality this week was the first half of the episode by the lake. The tickling fanservice was awesome, love me some Claire. Thought they may actually kiss, up until creepy stalker girl showed up. Igna was once again useless, other than the tsundere joke he had no reason to be in this episode. Again. |
| Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me. |
| Claire's past is indeed kinda sad :/ makes me feel like wanting a happy ending |
| Cute is justice. |

PrimeX said: But... doesn't that make sense? It would be weirder for Kal-el to somehow fall under her.Claire tripped but Kal-el managed to be the one on top.... only in anime Though, that scene was one of the few problems I had with this episode... even ignoring that it's an extreme cliche (never seen a romance without it) it felt a bit forced there to me. |
| So many unpatient people... Looking foward next episode, loving this anime so far. |

| This anime is taking an interesting turn... Backstory for claire/nina was okay, at least it seems that she didn't really have a choice whenever to become her or not. Can't wait for the next episode ^^ |
| "Sorry! I didn't mean to fall on top of you like this in this position! But let me stay here for another 5 minutes." No. Other than that little scene, interesting episode with the backstory. Guess I can look forward to the next. |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| good ep, really liked claire's backstory (y) did she lose her powers or something? i think she mentioned something about that :L anyway yeah uh i really have no idea how her and kal-el are gonna stay buddies once shit hits the fan and he finds out she's nina viento he's gonna go INSANE lmao |
| I love Claire but I want Nina dead T_T That Tsundere Igna though... XD |
| Claire's past was very interesting, but maybe a bit predictable ... The fanservice killed me in this episode ;; |
 |
| I agree that the show would have been better as 2-cour. A lot of the time it feels like they're forcing the story on the viewer, which is sad because I find it really interesting and I'd love to see it in even more detail. On top of that, lots of Kal-el's friends feel like they're just names and faces. I feel really sorry for Claire, she had nowhere else to go but to become Nina Viento. Hoping Ignacio actually gets expanded on soon. |
Lylaaz said: LOL white hair sasuke! But now that you mention it, he's really like sasuke...Like come on, they even dragged the white haired Sasuke along o_o Now that we got both of their backstory, i hope we can get to see more of Ari and Igna. |
| I hope Kal will shoot Claire. |
 |
| I get the feeling Igna knows who Claire really is. That scene in the woods between Kal-El and Claire... so sad, no kiss. Poor Claire... sold by her own mother. Claire lost her ability to control the wind? I don't think so. She has probably just been refusing to. I look forward to her using that ability in the future. |
  |
| 4/5 I think they should stop "kill" with the pseudo love story between Kal and Claire, if they want to make it so dull and uninvolving, and focus more on the events that are shown, it would be a winner in this episode. They gave little space to the story of Nina Viento and events in the end, I feel as if they have lost time, they are dissatisfied, the episode seemed too short. Good narrative in two, during the finale, and while standing on the lake, the chap gave his view on comrades! XD Drawings that are lost during the busiest times, good animations. I hope we put more pepper and that is not just a flash in the pan that plane crash. |
 |
| Looks like Ari is taking a liking to Ignacio. Aww seriously, cock blocked by that creepy woman. Claire's past was interesting, it now makes sense why she was so nervous and had trouble speaking to Kal when she first met him. |
 |
| All that training, they're getting better, just looking forward to a dogfight. |
 |
| I wonder if she "lost" her powers, or if she simply decided not to use them anymore. Not that it really matters, when they need it, probably Kal + Claire against the rest of the world, she will use them. I would prefer if she would seek out a confrontation simply to clarify things. If she only decided not to use her powers, she could easily prove being Nina Viento. Maybe "make him fly" Then they could get on with their lives afterwards. This way, she will hesistate to use it when the time comes, as he might (will) find out. And they will have a fall out after wards, because she isn't sure how he will react, and he isn't sure what to make of the fact that Nina Viento turned Claire (or the other way round) saved him. |
| Didn't like this episode. The only part I enjoyed was Mr.Nobody calling Ignacio a "tsundere". |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Oh god, that guy who I forgot his name was so right. Ignasio is a tsundere!! xD I really love the preview with him talking all mighty and being cut in the middle of his phrase :P That background story of Claire was a bit too melodramatic at my taste, but it was obvious that she was manipulated. Now it look like things get serious. I hope some students get killed so it raise the tension. It's kinda too passive right now. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Another very interesting backstory about Claire this time and man I just can't wait until the truth is revealed! A bit of some troubled emotions in the end but well I wonder if they can set things right until the truth is out... Let's see what happens next! |
 |
| Just when i was saying "cmon, its getting too repetitive those two getting lost and having awkward situations", there she was, Shizuka made me laugh hard and the plot continued to be amazing. Then, i didnt quite get what was the whole point in offering Kal-el to be in Isla... anyways i dont get some stuff sometimes im slow Claire's story was amazing and absolutely unexpected for me !! It reminds me X-men :P |
| Claire was so awesome with her wind powers. Shame she lost it. |
 |
| Another solid episode! Really enjoying this so far :) |
| "We need You" Yea right, they just wanted her power. I agree with Ariel, Ignacio doesn't stand out, he's more of a stalker type character. Watching everyone from the sidelines. Claire suddenly running away from Kal. Things are getting interesting now. Still no lovey dovey stuff, just dazzled by each other. The best part of the show is how well the backstories have been done. Both Claire and Kal have had tough childhoods, with Claire having been used as a mere killing tool. |
