| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh, we're getting back at the action again this episode. Feels different with Zero Two not being there. However, we did get to take a look at some of the other squad members can do besides just Squad 13. Personally, I think this episode featured some of the most intense action from this series in awhile. Meanwhile, Hiro is in a weird position after Ichigo's confession from before. Ichigo still has a lot on her mind too I'm guessing. At least the action picked up a lot this week. Also more flashbacks of Hiro and Zero Two this week. The reunion between Hiro and Zero Two :o |

| The action was pretty cool this ep. Liked how we actually saw other squads perform, rather than just focusing on squad 13. |
| Sorry Ichigo I can't feeling sad for you :D Anyway seem's the blue oni theory didn't come true I guess. Some user in reddit will be mad at this . Dat cliffhanger tho. |

wittykitt said: This show is literally status quo->create drama for no reason to drag->resolution back again. Lol How can it be back to status quo when point of the entire "drama" as you call it was to put their personal character flaws at full display, to suffer the consequences from it and then show signs of improvement? There is no return to status quo cause they never were without flaws. Zero Two always had her extreme lack of empathy since the start of the show. Hiro lacked the resolve to speak his mind and take the initiative in critical moments without falling back into old patterns. Ichigo always let her personal feelings cloud her judgement both as a person and as a leader. This episode showed improvement on these flaws for all of them so that they now can better themselves as people. |

shanimebib said: Expect 002 and 016 to be reunited in this episode. :) Basically what I said after watching the PV. Ah that predictability. Haven't seen the episode yet. Since I have an FA Cup Semifinal at Wembley to follow, I will catch up on this episode much later. Btw, I hope those retards now send out love letters to the animators/staff and whoever they had insulted. Of course MAL is not free from those toxic fanatics either. Bunch of plebs. |

| I bet people are gonna say that they wrote this episode after last week's backlash, even though an anime episode goes through roughly 3+ months worth of production XD Whatever, I'm just here for my mecha action. Couldn't care less about the romance in the series :P |
 |
| i dont get this anime every other episode is garbage but every episode other than those is fucking amazing holy shit what a good fucking episode |
| Well, finally the one true pairing is finalized. |
 |
| Nice ep, although I wonder how much of the recent harassment impacted the direction of this episode Angel942 said: In 16 hiro start ribellion with 02! Ep 16 code 016 Yea I was thinking the same. Actually thought it was gonna happen way sooner in a lot of eps |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |

How ironic that he's called Alpha |

| As expected people are praising the show just because of Zero Two and Hiro had a romantic scene, you people would accept anything when it comes to ship, hell this ep coulda been just Hiro and 02 kissing for 24mints and you'll all still say *ITS THE BEST EP, 02 X Hiro OMG SHUSHU ME SO HAPPY FOR THEM* *gag* That being said I knew the massive staff list would not disappoint, this was a really heavy fight ep, the effects and choreography were great, and I knew those yellow like tubes inside the cores were humans! these adults really did a number on their world, now the final boss A.K.A those adults are gonna get it. |

This part So, it's confirmed, klauxosaurs were humans  |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Quite the large scale battle. Man that super class is huge. Protocol 32 though was brutal. Hiro's dash to reach Zero though sure was brave and daring but man risky as hell. But it was nice he realised how important she was to him. The brief cat fight between Ichigo and Zero though was brief but showed Ichigo's willingness to help Zero. The reunion between Zero and Hiro sure was heartwarming and intense. A strong episode that showed just how much the squad has improved their teamwork and skills in combat. Its nice that Ichigo finally realises just deep a bond Hiro has with zero and let them reunite. Its nice that both remember each other now and are more honest with their feelings. Looks like this episode was a turning point in more ways than one. Its nice to see Zero and Hiro back together. |

| I feel like this series could have been something really great but it's just pulled down unnecessarily by all the forced drama and resolutions. I don't really get what they're trying to do with this series. On a scale from Evangelion to Gurren Lagann, they're stuck somewhere in the middle and don't really know what they wanna do with the series, leading to the forced crappy drama and resolution. Sure this episode was good because it resolved the annoying stuff that happened last week but it begs the question of why even do it in the first place. I mean with a large scale battle like this, fighting against this unknown foe, the scheming elites, the actual truth of the world/setting and even just the character writing and themes. There's so much that they could've done but somehow everything just eventually devolves into crappy drama and resolution. I'm not disappointed with the episode, I'm just sad that this series could've been so much more than what it currently is. Well that aside, I'm glad Zero Two and Hiro got back together and I'm glad that they recognized their feelings for each other, as corny as that scene was it was still good. :P Oh yeah, Goro is best bro. Art and Animation were fantastic, some really stunning shots and really impressive animation they pulled off here. Cliffhanger end. :o I'd say I'm interested in the direction the series will take but I think we all know what's gonna happen. |
