| LOL DAT fish meal scene. "it's glaring at us..." LMAO XD that is the first time i hear someone say that before eating a fish XD. so hillarious. welp, arguement. development relationship ? action in next episode. can't wait for that. |

Kotori_Sonoda said: Nice ep. I love the moments with the fish. "It's staring at me" ROFL Next episode looks great! Anime food always looks soooooo delicious! lmao big burly muscle man afraid of a fish XD PRICELESS |
her make up and eyebrows need a little infuence >.> XD |
| D'aww. That moment when Atra got scared of the flounder and embraced Mikazuki. >.< It was nice seeing that Tekkadan experiencing everything they don't have on the Mars. Looks like Ein will get the Alaya-Vijnana system after all, I think Gaelio will not let him die. And of course, Carta having that much authority. |

| so they are in earth finally and yes fishes are weird lol kinda slow episode |
 |
| drooling with orga shirtless next chapter.... and he is getting closer with her...hehe apart from this what is going to happen is not good gallarhorn and carta pffffffffff they will survive somehow |
| That woman is a fc** bi**, she really wants to destroy them. Biscuit won't leave Tekkadan, he is just afraid and is having a temporary trauma, he will surpass it. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| With Ein's installing Alaya-shiki, Gaelio will be forced to reconsider his views on who he considers human, in regards to the "space rats" in particular. Looking forward to it. Biscuit surprised me with his outburst, but his "settling down for the small thing instead of trying to grab the big one" is just not a viable option in their situation where they're between the rock and the hard place. Glad that Yukinojo-san made him realize it. Did I mention that I'm loving the way things related to Kudelia make Mikazuki think with his own head and listen to his own emotions instead of just going with the flow/Orga's orders? She's a great influence on him that way. He doesn't have a rich repertoire of facial expressions, but in this episode it couldn't be anymore obvious that he didn't like what she was suggesting, her words basically making him realize just what it is that he himself, of his own free will, wanted to do, and it's definitely not to leave Kudelia fight on her own like she essentially suggested. Sorry, Atra, but in terms of sheer positive influence on him and the ability to bring out the best in him Kudelia is winning hands down so far. The upcoming land warfare in the next ep is something to eagerly look forward to, for sure. It looks exciting, especially with tropical jungle in the background. Do we have the official confirmation of a second season for this show yet? Because there are only 5 eps left, and I find it hard to imagine they can wrap up the plot with the twist Makanai just introduced in just 5 eps... |

| Pretty bad episode. I realize that it's necessary to have downtime when it comes to the plot developments present here, but did we really need to devote so much time to the pointless Orga-Biscuit bickering, and the ten thousandth mess hall scene featuring Mikazuki's loli harem girl and fascinating discussion about how her fish tasted? |
| Earth is very different to them Even the food XDDD "its glaring at me" XDDD OMG Atra and Kudelia ate it at least OMG BISCUIT NOOOO T__T |
| i like the pace of this episode. It's nice to see the political influence that Carta has (although i think she is weak and stupid. Tekkadan beat her very fast and honestly i think it was pretty easy) Also loved the moment between orga and the blond girl (always forget her name hahaha). I wanna see more progress in their 'relationship' \o/ |
Celinha87 said: I do not think like that. I think Kudelia is showing that matured and has such a great power as Mika and others. Kudelia is okay "speech wise," but other than that, there's really nothing she can do especially when she's up against Gjallarhorn. She doesn't even have any allies that could face Gjallarhorn. Imagine what she can even do without Tekkadan. I agree, however, that she has matured quite a bit, but I don't think it's still enough. She thinks she can just head on tackle the problem by herself. She should, at least, know her own limits. I think the writer is really pushing the "Joan of Arc" character on her recklessly tbh. It's okay. We have two seasons for this xD LOL! and her tsundere personality has to go <.< xD |
GD1551 said: Actually this episode fit in extremely well right now. First it looked at the relationship between Biscuit and Orga, where biscuit was always somewhat of a propaganda machine for Orga, which in turn made Orga's reaction to his "rejection" even more natural. This is the first time someone in the crew has directly been in opposition of Orga's plans so we can see how he handles it and it should serve to build orga and biscuit as characters. I don't see how that was pointless at all... in fact it made sense that someone would question Orga at this point especially after Kudelia had told them they could go. I'll concede on that point. Admittedly my statement on the whole Orga-Biscuit drama wasn't very well-thought out. My problem with the episode (and the series in general) is just how the episodes are structured, which is where that statement came from. |
| Welp... another chill episode of calm before the storm. This is becoming a predictable pattern now. Still, it was great to see the changes that the characters are going through. Interesting to see the kids reacting to flounder, both live and on a plate. Mika adamantly sticking to his space rations was so typical, and yet so in character. The meeting with the Jiji was a little harsh, because the old foggy was essentially pulling the "I'm an adult and you should do what I say, or else." card, which I found particularly jarring. Kudelia and her entourage get absolutely no respect here. Biscuit had every right to go off on Orga to be honest. Feeling fear and wanting to take the safer path is pure human nature, you cannot fault him for it, specially with what happened with his brother. It's a great thing that they have Nadi as a fatherly voice of experience to show him the way. Mad respect to him for that. The end with Carta was way too melodramatic. I simply cannot take this lady seriously at all. |

| So, will Lafter cheat on Naze with Akihiro while they are away? :P I can see that happening. I'm liking Atra more and more. Too bad I still don't find Kudelia that interesting, so I'm all for Mikazuki/Atra at the moment. I think it will most probably be Mikazuki/Kudelia, though. I'm curious about McGillis and I actually find him an interesting character. I still can't tell if he is a villain or not but an interesting character nevertheless. However, I find his engagement to a little girl a bit disturbing but we will see what will happen. |
| Wow, that was a pretty balanced episode overall! Laughter, suspense, drama and all! Greata to see some character development too, ahhh. This show is just great. |
| Of course that faggot Ein is gonna come back superpowered and shit. I was so happy when I thought he died. |
 |
| Am I the only one to be annoyed by how much they force the love triangle in this anime ? In all scene of this episode Atra was with Mika for no reason. (By the way she came to earth for no reason too no ?) Japaneses love Harem, love triangle etc. But lol that is just too forced and unnatural, thanks to that Atra has just became a really annoying character. |

| Fish is the topic of the day :D looks like the guys will have their hands full next episode :) |
 |
| Now Ein would become the serious treat for them with that upgrade and shit, and I am sure that he would kill one or two Tekkadan's member at his grand re-appearance. Now I wonder who. Next episode, battle on earth. And I am curious with what kind of upgrade they could do to Barbatos. |

That is not a reason to obviously force it so much. I just want them to be more natural, being sticky is being annoying, just because he is an important childhood does not mean she should stick so much lol. And saying the reason is to cook is quite degrading (girl's job : cook, men can't cook..) but that is another debate. When they were on mars, she was not cooking for them everyday, so some of them can probably cook too, for what reason would they bring her to such dangerous mission ? They did not stated and won't, cause they can't, its just for the drama later. |

I agree with you about the forcing love triangle part, I think those moments where they talk would be much better with just a one on one between Kudelia and Mika because she's beginning to influence him and so on.. Also their moments are just too cute :p Gotta agree but that is because I am clearly in Kudelia faction. just hope they won't do something stupid like in Turn A Gundam. |

minnydesu said: I don't really think that's what she meant. Rather, she was really grateful for Tekkadan escorting her to Earth despite the danger but since they had no further obligation to give her assitance and that she had nothing to offer them in return, she has no right to demand of them to help her again. I almost facepalmed when Kudelia said she can do things by herself from now on so Tekkadan can leave. So by saying "follow your own path", rather than telling them they were free to leave, she was telling them they were free to choose (and whatever decision they took, she would accept it). That's more of a sign of humility than over-confidence, if you ask me. Other than that I really enjoyed this episode: I know some people are annoyed by the "unoriginal" action-build up-action-build up structure of the episodes, but when each week provides quality content then I don't really see what's there to complain about. I liked the argument between Orga and Biscuit, in that I didn't realize how necessary it was until it actually happened. Up until now the Tekkadan had always followed and supported Orga's orders without question, including Biske, a very valuable member of the team, even though many of the boss's decisions seemed to go against his principles and his desire to keep all his brothers safe. It's only natural that Orga would start taking the Tekkadan's faith in him for granted, and even more natural that Biscuit would start questionning his boss's choices as they rush head first into more and more dangerous missions. As such, I believe their little confrontation was necessary in order for them both to understand each other's perspective a little better. Now about Ein... Eh. It's a shame that the writers are pushing him so hard to be Mika's big nemesis when his motives as well as his character are so shallow and his piloting skills are so lacking (Gali gali trying his hardest to save him was pretty cute tho). Also iirc the Alaya Shiki surgery is only performed on growing kids, isn't it? Because the implants only fuse with them or smth. So how is it supposed to work on an adult? Will most of Ein's body have to be turned into a machine in order for the operation to succeed (like in Thunderbolt) ? |

That's more of a sign of humility than over-confidence, if you ask me. What I got from that was the Joan of Arc feel (the writer seems to be really pushing on her). Even though she's still a damsel in distress, she's continuously going for that strong image of hope. I feel like Fumitan lmao. Her character development, in general, is so jerky to me ugh. There's no fluidity. It feels very forced. The writing frustrates me a lot. More so for her character and the love triangle. How you see it is okay too c: |
| A nice, slower episode. Ein is actually going to become a cyborg?? Damn, never thought that could actually happen. Damn, Carta has the authority that's above the Oceanic Federation? Or is it someone above her and she's just following order? Let's see what she's got for her second round... |
| That must suck for Kudelia, to finally get to earth only to find out that she can't have the negotiations properly unless Tekkadan goes out of their way to help her further. She did the right thing by absolving them of her desires. I hadn't really thought about it before, but that there was a bit of a falling out within Tekkadan was actually pretty fitting, especially since they're taking on progressively more dangerous tasks. I don't think either Biscuit or Orga were wrong; they did need to balance out each other's perspectives though. I liked Nadi's contribution in talking to Biscuit as well. Mika stubbornly refusing to eat the fish and even trying to talk Kudelia out of it was hilarious. That fits him so well, but it's probably the most child-like thing he's done so far in the series. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes. |
| Yeah, Atra is probably the worst character in the series and it would be better without him. All she does is cook and hang around Mika for... a childish crush. Other than that, it's been a good set up episode. This Makai guy has a presence and made an impression. And I didn't see Biscuit's decision coming, tho the plot point won't really amount to anything since it looks like it will be solved next episode. |
| Biscuit is going emo again and it looks like going to earth means that its the point of no return! 4/5. |
 |
| That next episode preview must have been quite the tongue-twister... |
 |
| I thought Lafter and the rest stayed in space. Glad she'll still be in the show ;) |
  |
| Biscuit is my favorite, I wish they focus a little more on his backstory too. I'm also disliking the romance in the series, for me everything that involves romance in this series is a joke. Probably because I'm not interested in Mika, Atra or Kudelia's love life. I used to like Kudelia but she's such a Relena Peacecraft 3.0 that it's gotten on my nerves. |
