----------------------------------------
That was an interesting episode imo.

A little bit of reflecting from Teppei. It was nice hearing the theme song again I guess. The episode really picked up pace in the second half, holy shit. Daichi is really shining here with his role. I gotta admit, he's got some epic skills with that boomerang. Dat hug though :p

Good episode. Teppei's uncle being worried about him, but he's shown that he can take care of his own.

Bit annoyed that they kept so much from us and then when someone brings up this Kivoto plan, because they never explained it in the past they just have to explain it on the dot even though it makes no sense considering its supposed to be majorly secret that even Akari isn't supposed to know...

Bad guys quest is to use the kiltgang to take over the world.. kay cliche cliche...

The guy had a gun and could have shot Diaichi before he even threw the boomerang... but okay more cliche waiting for enemy to do something stuff I can forgive that...

The Team Rocket Duo seem to be up to no good with their friend the giant brain bot.

Overall... Just a rotten episode... Whats even worse is from the vision Hana had with the fights and everything, it actually seemed a lot more entertaining and intriguing then the actual plot...

I really REALLY hope this series picks up, because as it is now, I am going to give it to Episode 8 to start picking up, otherwise I am dropping it... I hate dropping things though.

lol @ parent talk with hacker girl barging in.

A bit detail about the enemy, who are basically immortal and not consider others as humans, and those who are with main group but not from the enemy's side originally.

He's back, and main guy was able to save her without hurting that annoying guy.

Before this I thought uncle = commander, but was different.

New enemy?

Good ep :D

Lol'd at the beginning with Akari just hacking and listening on to her dad and mom's conversation XD She's awesome Logical Logical :3

Loved the new background info about Teppei and Hana. Hana had some pretty nice development. Loved her smile so much when she jumped to Daichi after he saved her <3

It's good to see the couple's pretty much already settled with DaichixHana and AkarixTeppei :D And nxt ep seems to have more moments about that too ^^

Anyway, finally got rid of the megane bastard. And the plot thickens a bit. Good progress.

Yeah he's obviously quite stupid...also why did he wait until Daichi arrived with Pitz? If he wanted to abduct Hana, he probably could've already left on that boat, unless that was just his plan...to hold Hana hostage and stay there ._.

Anyways, nice learning about some other stuff like Puck working for the duo or Teppei's explanation of what his kind is. I like next episode's title.

Akari using her magic to hack the conversation of her mom and dad and commander was like, "It's forbidden. Magic is forbidden." Haha.
A bit of Kivoto's plan is discussed. It won't be long before Akari find out about it, even if it's top secret. Nothing impossible for a Mahou Shoujo!

Hana revisits her dark past a little while Teppei discloses more info about himself.
Good contrast between the characters as Hana being a tool for firing Livlaster and Teppei as a Planetary Gear taking everyone else as a tool for their use.

Loved how Daichi owned that SOAB with a boomerang! XD

Commander is in a big pinch since he can't really gamble on Daichi to succeed.

Good episode. Hana X Daichi and Teppei X Akari seems to be settled. :)

PV for next episode looks epic! The pair of Albion and Earth Engine will out up an excellent fight.

Well at least we have a better idea of the overarching plot and everyone's motivations. Could get pretty good, hopefully the Kivotos Plan coming to fruition will be the half-way point and major tone/setting shift the series needs.

lol'd at the mention of space vampires.

Answers, answers, answers!!!!.........and MORE ANSWERS!!!

Will this really answer to the expectations of waiting fans for answers? See how this is all about the answers? Well at least it did give me answers and I like them.

The Killtgangs are serious. So being close drains libidos and creates crystals eh? Now I get why they can absolutely NOT reach Earth with their main bodies, because we will indeed lose. Sweet Jesus Amara, the hell you did to our moon.

So President belives he's using them but it is Amara and Moco who are using him. Puck's real alliegances are unclear at best being THE common factor between both, he can easily be a double agent.

President seems confident that he controls them, but I doubt he's gonna die a spineless idiot, I believe he will have something up his sleeve.

Daichi-Hana moments were sweet, that hug was even more so. And next episode Amara and Moco vs Daichi and Teppei. That's gonna be interesting.

So much for the security to access P.A.C's room.

Glad to see that Daichi's uncle is a caring and understanding person.

I hope that idiot Hirosue from Salty Dog has learned his lesson by now.

Judging by the next episode PV, we finally get to see some Earth Engine action again.

So the Kivotos plan was introduced as a last resort if something bad were to happen to Earth hmm.

The Kiltgang will devour the people on Earth, leaving the ones in the Kivotos plan alone and then they'll leave our Solar System, I guess that's a deal they made or something.

Nobody can get inside at talk to PAC huh lol.

Good job Daichi, saving Hana like the aussie you really are!

they could've added a short scene where he failed to kill pitz and is waiting for extraction at the docks, but no...
Waiting with the hostage until the protagonists arrival is just SD common procedure for abductions...smh

Iterations of plot points by ramblings is a sign of bad story telling, regardless how epic the content.

everything else is okay, cliche but ok

Solid episode, still love how Akari just hacks into whatever she wants. That guys (name eludes me) attempt to kidnap Hana was flat out terrible, at least it served to give Daichi's uncle some kind of grasp on what Daichi is involved with. Some nice connecting scenes with Hana and Daichi. Next episode looks intriguing.

alright i was not expecting the plethora of info dumping this episode. I really like the idea of this kivotos plan, surprisingly that was the thing that really sells the danger of the situation.

ill admit i was a bit bothered by daichi using the boomerang to beat the salty dog douche, especially with him taunting daichi for not being able to kill, i think it would had been the perfect opportunity to have daichi kill someone for the first time because hes gonna have to do it eventually

also im both calling and worrying that what teppei was saying about immortality is a death flag.

This is actually a pretty good episode, but still it felt slow paced. The Kivotos Plan was probably a wrong thing to do, and something bad is going to happen. At least we get some background information from Hana.

Things are finally starting to add up and make sense, but there are still a lot of questions. Good thing is this is 2 cour so hopefully everything will be explained properly.
That last conversation between the commander and the uncle was a little cheesy, but whatever.
Good episode overall. 3.5/5

Well at last they revealed something from the overarching plot. I don't know why they couldn't have done that before. It's not like it's a big mistery at this point. Hopefully things will be better from here.

The guy from Salty Dog got humilliated again, now with a boomerang.

Hana and Daichi ship is going strong.

Akari best girl. I would've liked more the scene with Hana if Daichi had fired his gun at the salty dog guy instead of throwing his boomerang, not kill just hurt him. You know he probably is going to need to kill or shoot someone in the future

This episode wasn't half bad. Major info dump but it was well worth it somehow.

Hana doesn't have a Kiltgang, she was made to fire the Livelaster, and yet by some weird fate she can't do that either, but somehow she has the ability to choose Daiichi to use her gun....


The Ark faction are the ones initiating the Kivotos Plan, whereby they save a select number of humanity in exchange for allowing the rest of the planet to die by Kilt-gang invasion.

The Intercept faction are trying to save the planet by stopping the Kilt-gang before they reach Earth.

Then there's Globe, which is sort of like some NATO organization that supports both factions, but has little power on its own to do stuff.

I can't wait to see Teppei in action though, that preview showed him in some badass.

Bring on next episode!

Infodump, much? This show has some truly terrible exposition and plotting. The context has made it very unclear as to what exactly is taking place, but all of a sudden it starts throwing all of this terminology at us. Orgone energy, ego blocks, soul crystals, the burst expansion whatchamacallit on the moon. I'm glad that they're actually starting to give us some details, but the execution is very lacking. I'm hoping it'll keep picking up from here, but so far I've been very disappointed by this show.
