| Pretty good episode IMO, despite what everyone else seems to think (you guys seriously think this is worse than Asterisk or 35th Test Plattoon? Seriously?). Anyway, so much for those rules of warfare Qwenthur was going on about last ep. Although, if those rules are universally recognised, I have to wonder just who these people are that are going against that. If nothing else, they certainly aren't good people based on the way those four guys who Qwenthur killled were talking. It should also be interesting to see what exactly they're going to do to defeat that Object, given their reputation of being more or less indestructible (unless they self-destruct after taking damage, which is just stupid really). |
| That was a really great episode tbh, it pulled off the tension and the hasty atmosphere really well. Much better over first episode, the tone was much, much more consistent aside from that moment in the cave. The characters seem more or less likeable, at least for now, and that is an achievement in a LN adaptation. Could potentially become one of my favorites of the season if they keep the things rolling in a similar way but it's more than likely that after the situation here in Alaska the show will once again shift towards more comedic, LN-ish tone again. |
 |
| The only thing I don't like is the sudden boob grap, I mean come on, seriously? |
 |
| Ugh... I was hoping they would cut out the forced eechi moments but I guess it was too much to ask... I was expecting a bit more from this episode but it fell a bit flat. Guess the studio is just riding Kamachi Kazuma-sama's name and hope that people would watch this because it has his name on it (They should've gone with Index 3 if that was the case)... Well, it feels like they are making about 3 episodes for 1 volume. Hopefully the next episode would do better since it is the climax of the book. Engineers are OP as fk. |
| Better than the first episode imo, not that episode 1 was bad. We got a lot of action in this one. Qwenthur is the man lol and not surprised at all that Havia went as well. Overall I thought it was a good episode. |
| yeah way better than the first episode dat head shout thought so they are gonna take 3 ep for one volume HO volume are kinda short right ? |
| Better then the first episode, and the main character was more likable as well. I just hope he gets rid of his wuss parts soon. I really don't like that part about the Japanese sub culture. they really enjoy making their characters spineless. |

| better than the first episode, still kinda ehh |
| Action scenes were ok. Only thing that bugged me was the BGM that was used when the base was being destroyed... made it feel not serious enough, like it was some spy Mission Impossible cartoon, and not serious enough. And i know fanservice is very common nowadays, but it feels so uncalled for in this, both in the OP theme animation and episodes. Still applying 3 ep rule to this... 1 more to go. |
 |
| This was a good episode, it reminded me of Aldnoah Zero's first episode. Kinda. |

| Nice, I was scare for a second and thought Qwenthur was gonna be the typical coward who is all talk, but he end up growing some balls and actually killed some people... It would have been better it he would have saved her by himself without Havia assistance, but it was still ok... |

arcd75 said: Just for clarification... The next episode will just finish Chapter 1/3 of Volume 1... I just hope it won't take too long for them to animate the penguin scene. the hell ? 3 episode for 1/3 of the volume ? i was thinking they gonna end the first volume with 4 episode at the max |
| This ep was an improvement. Kinda tired of the typical "we must save the damsel in distress even if the logical thing to do is to run" thing but well it was alright. I really want them to do away with the terrible fanservice though. They're just inappropriate and out of place in a life and death situation. |
 |
| Much better than last episode and then the Princess had her little rant out of nowhere. She's one strange little character. The headshots and general violence portrayed were rather unexpected, but in a good way. |

| In before: "I think i spotted a second of fanservice moment so i have to make a comment how i noticed it and ruined things for me and how against fanservice i am because i am such a serious prudent person although i don't care about all other tone of silly shit." Oh shit, it seems am late. |
| I'm not really sure what I think of it yet, while I do think it's decent, some parts just makes me buttclench, eh whatever I'll give it a few more tries. |
 |
| Meh, I've seen FAR worse forced fanservice before, but it was unnecessary. =/ Despite that, this was a big improvement on the first episode. The action between the two Objects were pretty good, showcasing the major difference between them. It's also good to see a MC with some backbone too. Even though Havia and Frolaytia was against his plan at first, Qwenthur didn't budge one bit and went off to rescue Milinda from those scumbag soilders. I wonder how they'll try and expose Water Strider's weakness now. I doubt it'll be as easy as Luke Skywalker by himself blowing up one AT-AT with his lightsaber and bomb, but it'll be interesting to see if they can expose it's weakness at all. The OP remains pretty epic, the ED calm and peaceful. Looking forward to next week. =D |
| I had high hopes for this since the production value is high and the concept seems cool, but jesus christ there are some flaws I can't stand. -14-year-old piloting massive high-destruction machine ALONE, okay fine. -Boob grab, no matter the show concept, there has to be this in every series apparently. -Assuming their suits keep their bodies somewhat warm, they are not covering their heads in cold weather, what the fuck. -YOUR VIEW DISTANCE IS LOW DURING HEAVY SNOWFALL, yet you can see miles ahead in the battle against Water Strider. -Their hair should be covered in snow, but who has the time to animate all that and make sense anyways? -Everything about Qwenthur is annoying to watch If I don't see improvement in the next episode, dropped. |
| That escalated soo quicky. The episode was definitely better than the last one, something is bothering me a bit is the visuals the are lacking a bit, but aside that, was good. |

| I'm impressed. They are really going with 3 episodes adaptation per chapter or might be only in the first chapter of volume 1. I'm more interested how they will adapt the light novel since I already know the ups and down of this one. Either way, as a matter of adaptation, its doing great but the specifics when it comes to military aspect being mentioned here are faults from both the author not able to describe those in the novel itself and in the anime production staff that failed to correct the lack of idea. |
 |
| As usual, loads of uncalled for griping. It's been long due for there to be a decent and somewhat educated sci-fi story to hit anime that wasn't bloody mecha. When you consider all that's happened from a tactical standpoint, it's all been exceptionally sensible, without asspulls or magical victories because reasons. There's a hell of a lot of things people tend to forget and overlook... In times of war, you take your best or take what you got if you must. A youngin piloting a giant death machine is not unrealistic, just improbable. Under rare circumstances, things like that could happen. It was also addressed in the show that it was already an obscene idea for a young girl to be piloting the thing, AND to be playing bait. Then comes a very important philosophical address. Does one really have a choice in situations like that? Many will say you don't. Leaving someone behind to save your own skin is something that will eat away at your bones for all eternity. You don't have the choice to run if there is something you can do, because otherwise a torment worse than an easy death you may get from trying awaits you. It's nice to hear things like smart bullets mentioned and so on. A series can hit home that it's actually in the future, not just modern day dressed up with magical tech and toys. (In the age of space travel and you still don't have homing bullets and missiles that can evade point defense fire?) It's got a stable depiction of how things have legitimately changed since the introduction of global wundawaffe. There's no point in expecting every tiny detail to be accurate though, it's a work of fiction, with it's limitations.. Unlike budget live action films, anime don't call in consultants for military and such to give all the correct info. For something that came straight outa someone's head, it's pretty good. Now with strong context set up, let's hope the plot holds strong as well :) |

| bitch please cut the melodrama bullshit and just thank them for saving you |
 |
| Wait, can't Objects tank a nuke? The plasma beam and the other guns seemed nowhere near as strong. |
| Not bad, Qwenthur. At least it was better than the first episode. |
 |
| Nice episode. Lots of decent action scenes. |

KaiserNazrin said: The only thing I don't like is the sudden boob grap, I mean come on, seriously? Well that's "Heavy Object" for you, Anyway just like a broken recorder, a better episode than the last one.The action scenes were great. The only thing that I hate in this series so far is the fact that the MC is a whiny bitch which makes it annoying to watch. |
 |
| WOW! What's up with the rating. this show was pretty good though. But still , i didn't expect some people to be die after the quick explanation in the first episode. the enemy object lose, done. no killing. that was what i thought. And why they end it like that....... 3 human vs 1 object. if the object lose , it will be a big humiliation to the pilot. |
 |
| meh I'm still having trouble grasping the "invincibility" of these objects. No weapon on earth can touch it except for the weapons mounted to another object, wait...WAT? So traditional airplanes or tanks can't use the same weapons? It has super armor that can't be penetrated except when it can because "reasons" (quite easily too). The objects were also shooting regular bullets at each other...why? |
| So, that is the feeling of defeat? Damn.. Congrats Qwen for feeling a 14 year old breastes lol Episode got even better with a possible hijacking/destroying an object. I still have a feeling that Qwen is a borderline badass and pussy lol ALSO FUCK OFF HATERS :D KEEP THAT HATE TO YOUR LONELY SELF :) |

So how would tanks and Planes carry those huge cannons and supply them with the huge amount of power at the same time genius? It has super armor that was created with their technology and only high powered weapon of other Objects can penetrate that after multiple hits. Stop making dumb excuses. Ever heard of trying to distract your opponent? There was another purpose as well, objects have quite a lot of sensors for various purposes..........destroying some of them can also give an small advantage. Or just chalk it up as fanservice.....don't see any problems though. Is this even a real post? |
| Not the kind of Mecha anime I was looking forward to. This is as far as I go and good luck to those that are still watching this. Drop, 4/10 |
 |
| i don't understand where's good scene and bad scene in this anime, fuckin crowd of pros and haters confusing me already |

| Not overly impressive, but I can certainly get on board with it. Story and tone are intriguing enough, and character interactions don't make me want to vomit like certain other fall shows. Monad said: This. There are problems with this show, but little fanservice bits like that isn't one of them. It's not like it's trying to carry an overly serious tone at all times. And those who don't know Kamachi and his tendencies have only themselves to blame.In before: "I think i spotted a second of fanservice moment so i have to make a comment how i noticed it and ruined things for me and how against fanservice i am because i am such a serious prudent person although i don't care about all other tone of silly shit."

| I didn’t like the drama bits; the acting felt weird, flat, and unnatural. The action was decent, but the overall flow of the story still irks me, I don’t know why. |
 We ultimately fear what spawns from within us ~Shinsekai yori Music is freedom. ~Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso |
| The headshots were the only good thing about this episode. Princess-sama crying like a little brat asking the recycled question, "Why did you come and save me? Why did you save me?" Don't they always ask that question? Is that a default response after someone saves your life? Ugh. |
| 臭い- |

As for their clothing, this is not the first anime that has seen characters in irregular gear for winter warfare and to concentrate on it is kind of nitpicking against the series. Also the Object flawed? They are giant tanks that are closer to real world tech than most other mechs and they try to be different than the regular walker mechs we see in the trillion or so mech anime out there. All in all the second episode was an improvement, the action was intense as hell. I'd say the objects are the biggest flaw in the series. Other mistakes can be forgiven and its quite decent if you think its an action comedy and won't think about plot and technical correctnes. Nukes won't destroy an object but plasma weapons from another object will. Why not place these weapons elsewhere. Like aircraft with greater mobility and speed? History of warfare has shown that large veichles are not very efficient. They are slow and due to that must have thick armor all around. So, to defeat an object. It would seem using tanks and fighter planes with weapons from an object would be better. You can fire from several directions. And more i think the weapons need energy supply from whatever object's core. the core is like nuclear power plant that need delicate handle. i dont think aircraft or tanks can be a nice container for it. mobilty and speed? just check the object's specs. but an idea to make several plasma cannons in one place is an interesting idea |
| bad english incoming sorry for that |
Dragon_Slayer_X said: singleturbo said: Is this even a real post? More real than your nonsense of a post that clearly shows that you either didn't pay attention or making up dumb excuses for lolz. His question isn't that stupid. Even if we assume that the size of those weapons is why they can't be put in other conventional vehicles still such weapons should be able to be put around a military base for example or on big ships etc. Why do they not do that? Also there is the question of a Heavy Object even taking a nuke but suddenly being hurt by such guns. At least other than that plasma weapon thing all the other smaller projectile cannon on an object shouldn't even be able to scratch it if it can take a damn nuke missile. |
