| rip the island ep needed some more intimate moments together |
 |
| Can't help but awwww since Dio is so worried about Aoba :p Glad that Hina actually opened up a bit towards Aoba, I guess she doesn't hate him that much anymore huh. |
| Dang Hina's got some nice oppai :3 |
| 3/5 Episode boring and stupid in certain situations, these anime mecha genre always have an episode dedicated to a wreck like that, if you want to call it so, why? And because it always ends up the same way? It reminds me of Muv-Luv, here as in Buddy Complex, equally there are always exaggerated proportions that hold the girls for the breast and the stupidity of the main character. The series was played an important card, but is ruined, for what I think. Too bad! But one bit less of doing good, not gallantry, there could also be, is not it? Drawing a little dropped, the rest are disappointed by this episode. |
 |
| This was an okay episode, but I cannot believe Aoba actually asked Hina what she was doing when she started shoveling that rocks that blocked the cave entrance. Seriously, how stupid can you get? |
| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| Interesting development but this show is too slow to finish up the main plot. They need to fill in the time travel plot, as well as have a final battle in less than 6 episodes. |
| I can sense another time travel cycle here. Here's my crazy thoughts but hopefully it's untrue. Since Hina received the hairclip from Aoba, she might wear it just like the Hina that Aoba knew. At a certain time Aoba might get killed for some reason & then as soon as Hina learns it, she travels back 74 yrs earlier to fetch another Aoba there. After that, she sends him all the way back to the future again. You can tell there's another cycle going on here. |

| I too am confused about the pacing with this. I wonder if the anime will end with Hina joining Aoba's side of her own free will, especially after her commanders keep treating her with suspicion anyway. I'm guessing the last episode or two will involve a fight against that badass leader guy, and maybe some hints of how they perform the time travel thing. Hina is definitely hot, lol. Very nice body in her tank top ;) Her battle suit doesn't really do those boobs justice. Nice episode though devoid of mecha fights. About time we got some development with Hina/Aoba besides them shouting at each other while crossing swords. Rather pleased with how this series has turned out, though it does smack of Gundam SEED, Code Geass and other mecha anime. |
| Ok... so let's consider the hair-pin... If Aoba gave Hina the hair-pin right then... and Hina goes into the past in the future... that would indicate that the hair-pin she has in the first episode is that very same hair-pin... therefore the hair-pin has no origin and is infinitely old due to the loop in time. Paradox! |
  |
| Good episode! Aoba being awesome lately i hope 5 episode can cover all the question but i still hope for a second season |
 |
| Pretty cliche so far. Nice animation though and that shone through in this episode. |
 |
| Yeah , more Hina cuteness. |
 |
| Yeah. I guessed right. A oba gave hina the hairpin now |
| Hina's hairpin |
| Still not a fan of Hina, dem cleavage though. bagface36 said: Watase Aoba may seem like a bland easy going character as first glance but there is someone in his personality he never hesitates someone in need and his emotions truly show when he saved Hina despite being hostile to him and he also lied to dio to cover for hina. What i like this episode about it reminds me of episode one except with Aoba and Hina in reverse roles. Btw for the people constantly complaining about Aobanbeing stupid you guys seem to forget hes not a soldier he has no formal training except hes able to pilot the luxon. He was living a ordinary life until he went to the future it makes sense that he doesnt know any better. His emotions truly show hina collapes when they were digging in that tunnell. He is afraid of people dying his father was a firefighter and he probably died and he developed this complex of helping others to cope with grief. This is why I like him. |

| This might be an odd complaint... but my only complaint this episode I guess would be the way Aoba saved her after the cave flooded. I have a hard time believing that a human could suddenly recover like that. The force of the water alone could knock out most people... and they would have both been shoved into the back of the cave and without any way of resisting the water. Other than that I enjoyed it... even though the entire episode was kind of predictable. I guess this is how she got the pendant in the first place. I wonder if they'll do a time loop / paradox ending or not... kind of doubting it with a second season in tow, but the pendant has to make me wonder. |
| Is Sunrise even trying? They rip off their own works now? My oh my. |

| Hina in a tank top. Hina in a tank top. Hina in a tank top. Hina in a tank top. Hina in a tank top. Hina in a tank top. Hina in a tank top. Well now with that out of the way i have to say that pin really is a paradox created pin. No one made that pin or ever sold that pin. That pin was given to Aoba by future Hina and she got it from him in the past where he went after future Hina send him there so the pin is an eternal loop.

| I feel I have seen this episode in a different anime series. |
 |
| This sure was a lovely episode, quite like the development! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| It's Athrun and Cagalli all over again! Favourite moments:
Aoba has figured that Hina Ryazan has actually yet to become the time traveller Hina Yumihara that he knew back in school, Hina left the hairclip intentionally so Aoba would not forget her and so that he could give it to her past self. |
