watched on animax with fucked up subtitles. omg , need to rewatch.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

From the opening I thought that Coppelion guy would be kind of wimpy, but his voice (and you know, tossing a grenade up and down) makes him seem really badass. Hope he's cool and strong (Taeko needs someone else who is capable of fighting with her).

I noticed him in the flashback scene at the beginning of the episode in Taeko's class. Maybe he's like her rival or something.

Aoi is really unfit for the job as a Medical Unit on field
The planet looks quite impressive like a giant capsule/land mine

I'm curious now how the clean up team will do against the 1st division

LOL so true. But anyways, was surprised to hear SuzuKen's voice! This automatically makes the character awesome!

That conversation between the Prime Minister and Ibara was just...stupid. Clearly the Prime Minister is incompetent and should be taken down from his position. Coppelion is supposed to be a rescue team like Ibara (or whoever it was) said. I laughed when the Prime Minister said that they spent a lot of money on making the Coppelion. I would think Aoi should have some kind of special power then but it looks like she's been pretty useless and whiny for the first 5 episodes. And so far Taeko's special power hasn't done much for the team either.

The appearance of a pregnant woman makes the series take an air of life, like the dome, where wildlife and clean air. No doubt the series is going for more.

I would have given this episode a 5/5 if they had shot Aoi instead because that girl is insufferable.


Looking forward for the new guy because this show was in dire need of adding someone new/seemingly important into the mix.

...but i'm also not really looking forward to the next episode because I can already hear Aoi screaming and crying in the preview. Hopefully then I can keep my sanity and i'll be ready to press the mute button just in case.

This show...

So from my understanding of this episode she's strong enough to smash through a window and then throw a fully grown man a few metres with her left arm but she couldn't save that women from a few episodes ago.

Edit: I was on the verge of dropping this show but that guy with the grenade has got my attention.

1st division a presumably dead unit were alive.Wonder what the Prime minster is hiding that he wants them dead?The leader seems to have resistance to radiation considering his mask was broken and he was still alive,maybe that's why he's trying to kill them.

Taeko got shot.

Can't wait to see the "Planet" in action,if I remember correctly we saw a glimpse of it in one of the PVs.

And bishounen Coppelion aka Grenade-kun(Lol) appears next episode.He reminds me of Totsuka from K probably cause they look so similar.

I can confirm the grenade guy (Haruto) is one cool dude. You'll like him.

Still at least 2 episodes from the two psycho sisters, Shion and Kanon. They are amazing.

I think you'll collectively start liking this show a lot more as things progress from here - it'll be a pretty big shift in atmosphere compared to the first 4 episodes. This is the point in the manga where the author finally hit his stride and keeps his pace up

(that said, next episode's won't be very action-y, but you won't see any more weepy blubbering either)

Aoi is useless :/

A pregnant lady who is even having contractions >.> how much more are they going to force the drama?

Thank you someone finally someone told Aoi to shut up.

Beautiful Miss Aoi :P

I wonder why this new guy wasn't with them in the first place, it makes sense to have an assault team with medics after all.

It's like nearly everyone in this show is fucking retarded!

Aoi is trained by the MILITARY! How the hell is Aoi still so damn emotional in the first place? I would've like the episode if Aoi had gotten shot instead of Taeko. At least Aoi would've shut the hell up for the time being. Also, how the hell is an armored car a tank? You'd think that Ibara would know the difference.

And don't get me started with that retarded child who became the Prime Minister.

The only thing that had me really excited in this episode is the introduction of the male Coppelion, and all his bad-ass weapons in the end.

I'm starting to lose interest in this anime...

1) The people they're rescuing are not particularly interesting.
2) It's been 5 episodes with little to no development on two of the main characters, Taeko and Aoi. And Aoi is really starting to get on my nerves.
3) Really horrible scriptwriting and thus a poor execution on the part of voice actors.

Get your shit together, Coppelion.

Did anyone ever read your comment or did they just post blindly like people always do.

Either way, as a fellow manga reader I can say that I'm looking forward to the tone shift as that's where I really started enjoying the manga. Haruto is a great character and the Ozu sisters are great too, so there's that.

Everyone's main complaint seems to be Aoi (because one character is totally a reason to hate a show apparently), I never found anything wrong with her to be honest, she's trying to act more human as way to cope with the fact that she isn't, this is why Ibara seems so stoic in comparison, her way of dealing with it is accepting it.

Also I don't really like emotional scenes being pouted at so easily, how dare a show have realistic characters with realistic reactions. In their defense though the show doesn't do the best job with emotional scenes, that's for sure, so I won't miss that with the tone shift.

Coppelion has been really average so far considering how good the premise was. I need some clarification on what happened to the bomber subplot (the bomber that was dumping radioactive waste into the pond), it got pushed to the side because of the drama surrounding the professor, so what happened to it? Now it looks like we're going towards something new instead. The promise of a new character is going to keep me watching this show though - this show is not boring, just very average.

Pretty much an okay episode, though Aoi is still annoying while Taeko did something by saving the pregnant lady in the firefight of the 1st division. Though the chracters still didn't grown into me yet.

Well not much to say in this, just introduction of the 1st division and their motivation, the place called, The Planet, and Taeko recovering her wounds. But that last scene was interesting introducing a male Coppelion.

Holy shit, what's Aoi even doing there? at least Taeko's holding her own while that crybaby bitch only whines and whines... she's making me hate Kana Hanazawa already.

What's with the PM too? he doesn't sound like your typical responsible and dutiful Japanese public official. Hard to believe the Japanese would ever elect such ignorant Prime Minister.

Dem plot holes, sigh. That guy caught my attention too, but darn shame I can't take anymore of this shit.

Ibara doesn't like to kill, or take lives, right? She didn't really hesitate to kill dem First Division with that landmine, and looked happy while doing that shit.. Hmm

Sorry, but goodbye Coppelion, a show with great premise, but overly retarded characters, poorly constructed storyline, many asspulls, melodrama, and rushed.

Please kill off Aoi and add this grenade guy to the team instead because I can tell he'd be more useful and interesting than her and all he did was utter 4 sentences and played around with a grenade. Seriously, what's Aoi even doing there? All she does is being obnoxiously loud, useless and whiny.
