| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice, some aerial action this episode. I was looking forward to that. Mittyyyyyyyy. Damn. I wasn't too surprised by this episode though considering the death flag was kinda high in the air in episode 6. But seriously, oh God...poor Mitty ;___; RIP. Never forget. |
 |
| Those wooden ships, I think I saw similar scene earlier this week in Kyokujitsu no Kantai. The enemies keep wondering why the hell their bombs can't hit the target, when in reality it pierce through the wood like it's just paper without exploding. So, Ignacio knows about Claire The aristocrat students went on attack without waiting for command. But likely they will came home alive, either to make audience feel it's unfair, or give them chance to change into friend. |
| Here goes nice chubby character... |
| Woah. Really liked the pink sky coloring, super pretty. I think I understand this wrong, but are they really sending newbie teenage pilots to get involved in a war? Let's get real now... |
 |
| I think we all expected Mitty to die. I didn't really feel much but I was a little sad. |

| So Ignacio is Claire's bodyguard. Poor Mitsuo. I guess it was bound to happen considering what happened in that last episode. Gonna miss him. |
 |
| Don't worry guys, Mitty is still alive. His fat shielded him from the explosion. |

| Knew it was coming, but damn ;_; |
| Fuck you episode title >:( As so that's why he wanted to go rescue them, Ignacio knew. We all knew it was going to happen, but that really was a glorious death. Great, sad episode and the battle is still underway. |
| Awww, dude! They should have had the two enemy planes kill Chiharu mid parachute drop. NOT because I think she deserved to die, but because that would have made up for the lack emotional impact and sense of tragedy of I was hoping they would have the guts and the ruthlessness to do it, but they didn't. That would have been just brutal, but totally well worth it, I think. But holy hell, the action was exciting it's looking things are about to get a whole lot worse. I wonder what the explanation for the immediate hostility between Isla and the Sky Clan is? |

| Ignacio is such a worthless character jesus lol Arrogant as hell but can't even pilot. How is he even a main? OT: That was a good way to go out for Mitty. I felt a bit sad but not much attachment to him. The action was great, and I hope it continues for the rest of the series along with the drama between Claire and Kael |

| Mitty nooo |
 |
| Ignacio knows about Claire huh.. R.I.P Mitty You did great out there bud. It was a good way to go out. Action was alright |
 |
| 14:50 they really shot the flare in the middle of the battle field 17:23 its always the fatty fat kid who gets shot… mmmhmmm… bacon… -------------------- 1. This is why u don't read titles/watch previews before an episode starts. It spoils too much. 2. No, mitty, no. No man tears for u. The ep title was so obvious. U don't deserve mah man tears. 3. U have to be a girl and like fatty fat fat kids to cry. 4. Just a terribad ep. Each ep has gotten horrible & predictable. 5. I took the pleasure and went to episode 6 forum discussion, looked for the people who supported mitty, & laughed at their posts until i broke blood vessels. die mitty die!!! Nyahahhahahahah!!! 1/10 |
| Mitty T___T That was one hell of a sacrifice. Don't fire the flare and you'll be safe but Isla might suffer grave damages or fire the flare at the cost of your life but possibly keeping your friends safe. Then if both of them bail at the same time, the enemy would have immediately shot them down in mid-air. If one remains, then he could at least act as a diversion until the other is at a safe distance. The top brass was willing to send students to do recon suggests they lack manpower or they view the students as dispensable. Chiharu angst incoming. I hope Faust dies in the next episode >__> |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| mitty got roasted and i didnt feel a thing. extremely predictable episode once again. 2/5 this show started off good but let down alot in last few eps. |
| Truly heartrending stuff here. Textbook bravery and Martyr-dom stuff here. Next episode is still gonna be a fight so I wonder how long it will take for everyone else to find out about Mitty's sacrifice. Have friends in the army and this sort of bravery just hits you hard. Even for an anime character, I salute you. Ignacio being Claire's bodyguard wasn't much of a surprise. He was a slum kid in support of the new regime, but I wonder how Ari and Kal will take it once they find out who exactly Claire is. Ah well, its still gonna be a fire fight for the first half of the next episode at least, we'll worry about it when it comes. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Mitty's death was sad but not surprising. To be honest, the predictability kind of undermined the emotional impact. Also, does anyone else feel the story moving in a random, almost plotless direction? I mean, it's going to be a 1-cour show, and they kind of 'wasted' (for the lack of a better word) the last episode as it contributed little to the story. And 7 episode in we still know nothing about Ignacio - neither as a person nor what his involvement might be. I still have high expectations for this show, but I really really hope we get some insight to the seemingly haphazard elements that are being inserted in each episode eg. the 'barbarian' attackers, the politics of the country, wind revolution's details/legacy, Ignacio!!, the supernatural aspects (wind power etc), the agenda of the higher ups on Isla...so many things. |

| Oh my lord, I wasn't expecting this! What happened to my chill SoL show about pilots! I feel like this show is getting better and better with each episode, probably one of my favorites of the season |
 |
| GG Mitty. RIP. |
- I've always... always been watching you... This whole time... Because you were there... That's why I was able to try hard. So you could have some balance! So you wouldn't treat me like a kid! So you would see me as an actual girl! Even while you were gone... You were right here! You were right here in my heart! |
| They raised death flag all over the episode .__. And why did they keep firing flares when the enemy positions are already revealed by their own fire?! RIP Mit-chan. |
| In war, someone (friend/s) is bound to die. Didn't want Mitty to die, but it can't be helped and was expected. Good thing Chiharu survived. It's a good thing (which is also a bad thing) they didn't develop the minor characters too much for us to be attached to them and feel sad when they die. |

| R.I.P Mitty, you were indeed, a true pilot :( |
 |
| rip in pieces mitty one hell of a sacrifice |
 |
| At least Mitty helped everyone out before he died. I hope they tell us why the two factions are even fighting each other. |
| I cried. I knew he was gonna die since that scene in the last episode, but it was still right in the feels. The rest of the episode was kinda meh though. Really boring fight.

| many feels. such good ep a;lsdfkj srsly tho wow, mitty's death scene was great not that i enjoyed him dying but it was just well done also ignacio is claire's bodyguard? interesting *_* |
| It was obvious since last episode and the title of this one that Mitty was going to die, but I was still sad over it. Poor Chiharu. Dx |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| That was truly a glorious death T^T I would've liked to say at least I'm glad lovely Chiharu survived, but now she'll probably go emo :( I still don't get why he didn't jump too. Yeah he's injured and it would've increased the chances of being shot mid-air + Death flags XD But still he could've at least tried to survive :*( Poor Chiharu. RIP Mitchan. U died like a BOSS. He'll probably have a rank up to a lieutenant or even higher with the achievement he made. The enemy seem to be must more intelligent than Isla thinks. I wonder if we'll see any characters from their side? I'm hating the bitch Countess so f'n much. How she took Claire away. And we finally know what Ignacio's relationship to Claire is. Nxt ep seems friggin serious as hell. Ari is bleeding profusely and stuff. Shit will get even more real. |
 |
| Well people can only blame themselves if they didn't expect this to happen. Wolfgang was right -- in war, there are always going to be deaths. Mitsuo's death was a good one though. I must say they did a great job building up to it even though it was quite predictable. Boy, is Noriaki gonna feel devastated for talking trash about Mitsuo just the night before. And I'm guessing next episode we might see some more casualties. Fausto, maybe? Although he was kind of a prick to Karl, his decision to fight was at least somewhat admirable. I'm just gonna rage really hard if either Karl or Claire dies. That better not happen. |
| Wow...just wow. I mean, I saw this coming with their sudden closeness in the last episode, but God this really hurts. I couldn't help the few tears that escaped my eyes. I would hate to be Chiharu in that moment...just like, why the hell am I even alive if you're gone? Ahh. Tugged at my heartstrings too much, this episode. I applaud it. I also appreciated the break from Kal-el and Claire. It's refreshing. Still can't get enough of that ED. It's simply haunting. |
| You all expected the death ? Guess I should pay more attention/watch the previews and check the episode title :D well anyways, I "liked" Mitty's death. It was kinda tragic for me since I didn't predict it - at least not until he got shot - but in my opinion it really was "glorious death" so it was a well executed, sad event. Ignacio being Claire's bodyguard was also something I didn't see coming but it totally makes sense. Guess this show isn't one of this season's shows that I'm hooked on so I probably missed a bunch of other obvious info. Looking forward to the next episode(s) to see what else I didn't but could've realized during eps 1 + 2 ^_^ |
  |
| a great episode but poor mitty , chiharu did will also < i winder whats going to happen next. |
| RIP Mitty ;.; In general, it was an OK episode but that tragedy part which made me cry in the whole episode was awful. |
 |
| So, my favorite man Ignacio is Claire's bodyguard. Didn't expect that. RIP MITSUO. YOU'RE ONE TRUE PILOT. |

| good episode with more action,it looks like the next episodes there will be more action. RIP mitsuo. |
  "Here's our chance! Let's go!" |
| With as obvious as it was, it was still executed really well. Poor Chiharu. Though I don't see why Mitsuo couldn't just eject at the last second. I guess he knew his wounds would end up being fatal anyway. |
 |
| Why is it always the fat ones that die?? either them or the blacks. Seriously though, the trainees' planes are just so damn primitive compared to the knights' and the enemies' planes. Can their puny rifle even damage those jet fighters? they probably need to hit them many times while the enemy has automatic guns that can shoot them down in seconds. |
 |
| Well lesson learned not to look away when the episode title shows on screen, goddammit why do so many animes ruin their own episodes with previews and freaking titles. Maybe I'm too spoiler sensitive but jesus christ... |
| Awesome character. R.I.P |
