| Called it. After last episode's shenanigans, you knew Yukina would flake. Can't blame her either, she literally had a giant alien sword nearly deface her, not to mention she watched an alien-guy blow himself up and two of her classmates are missing because of her fight. Her relationship with her mother was only cordial at best, and now after that blow up, she's run off. Now its time for someone, anyone, to help sort her out. And was it just me, or did anyone else get the Aldonah vibe with the floating alien fortress? |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| To be honest, I was expecting more comments complaining about Yukina and how she should 'grow up' and get back into piloting the relic, but I'm glad there isn't any sort of those messages here at all so far. =) For Yukina, that close call from the fight last week gave her a big shock, now understanding how dangerous her role is, so she doesn't to be a part of it anymore. Considering how she had a bad childhood due to her father's reputation and not being too close to her mother, I can't fault her for feeling frustrated and angry. But sometimes fate puts you in a position that you can't simply run away and pretend that it's all a dream. I'm sure Ouma or someone or something will give her the push she needs to pilot the relic with Ouma again. The swimsuit scene was nicely done. Ouma became a big hypocrite though, saying that the ladies were wearing too little, while he was wearing a loincloth, which covers even less that the ladies' bikinis. XD Who knows what happened to the two students who recorded the fight. Maybe they died, or maybe they were captured? It's too early to make a definite call on this, so I hope they'll be some sort of a hint on the missing lads in future episodes about what happened to them. |
| Well yukina depicts the normal teenage girl... Still she has some daaddy and mommy issues.... So far Ouma is the favorite character of the show for me |
 |
| some solid drama this episode, you kinda forget that the MC's are still teenagers. I'm sure seeing someone blow themselves up affected Yukina and rights so. Hope to see this break the 7.00 rating soon. |
| This show has been surprisingly good. I am quite enjoying it. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Leave it to gg to insert a meme into the subs. "Get in the robot" indeed. |
 |
| Oh, man. Sensei is looking good. |
| That was one of the strongest episodes of the season, let alone the show. PA Works knows how to do dialogue and body language really friggin' well. |
 |
| lol Yukina runaway from home for her not to ride that robot artifact anymore |
| Swear to god, Yukina is seriously wearing me down. Honestly, I totally believe her character a lot more than most teen heroines who seem to immediately get that "I must save everyone" mode or the ones who are against it at first but are quickly turned into "I must save everyone" mode after a single episode... That said, having to watch her flop her way through every important relationship she has, cursing away her father, then our samurai by saying that incredibly hurtful thing about his princess, and then her mother by condemning her father in front of her despite really knowing nothing about him herself. It's kind of painful to watch. I do hope she gets her act together soon. |

collectivism over individualism?  |
| i'm gratefull those punks are dead! Her mother is just so incompetent and annoying! instead of pampering, she goes provoke her daughter? A teenager whose life was just slandering around and goof around all day in search of identitiy and meaning of life, suddenly dragged to a world scale war, clearly she's confused. of course she's mad, she's in bad mood, suddenly her mother, the only person she tought she could lend a shoulder happened to does not gave a fuck... I understand what the MC girl's felt, it's just the people around her was pressuring her without giving her a time and consideration for her normal japanese girl mentality. |

Are you really judging someone whose father literally walked out in front of her when she was like 4 years old and that got her bullied for the entirety of her school career for prophesying about humanoid aliens? Someone whose then single mother ignored her for the rest of her current life so she could parent herself and her younger sister until she was 16? You're really going to say she's the one who fucked up here? Not the mom who just completely ignored everything about her daughter and instead defended that father and physically harmed her in the process? Really now? This is all of course after she has been forced to do battle against an unknown opponent with no training at all and no experience in combat? And as the WSO to someone who got his first WSO killed? And while her friends are dying? And while she's killing humans when she was told by everyone she was wrong for thinking the aliens were humans? Christ man, if that is your attitude about it, please don't have children >.< It's amazing Yukina hasn't had a fullscale meltdown yet at this point, Shinji style. |

I openly admitted that I felt she was actually a really believable character, far more than most due to her circumstances and how she acts on those circumstances? Doesn't stop it from being kind of cringy and hard to watch sometimes when there's no sign of stopping. |

If it was to stop wouldn't that basically be the end of character development? Good drama along-side the mecha stomping and SoL parts is kind of part and parcel with the show. Or are you saying you want Yukina to grow a pair 'cause you're tired of her running? I have to assume she will at some point. Right now she's still dealing with her useless mother and being forced to grow up way faster than she's supposed to. |

| OMG! Advisor sensei too hot Mizugi!!! The two fodders were just missing not dead... I wanna gyoza also! 4/5. |
 |
| kind of disappointed, I was really hoping we'd find out that faggot kaya died. the other guy was kind of a pussy, but fuck I really cant stand faggots. and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch faggot ≠ gay |
| Great episode with several flashback on Yukina. I'm happy that his character is a little developed. The pool scene was funny ;) |
I usually dislike fanservice... come on, "free pool class today"... that's way too convenient for fanservice xD But I've got to admit Marina-dono was breath taking... ANYWAY... Yeah, it is totally understandable that Yukina doesn't want to be part of all that at all. Pretty normal I must say, that's how normally you would react. But we know that's gonna change. Good spot on that red alien soldier thing...the one that seems to have boobs...that's gotta be the princess. |

| Yukina's dad was trying to became friends with the demon. interesting imo. and we got scene INSIDE on the alien ship. and....another interesting scene from this episode. it felt generic somehow but i like it. Yukina's reaction after she saw someone just die in front of her was pretty natural. most people would react like that especially girl. so i kinda like how they made the characterization of Yukina. and on the other side, the dude was trying to do something about her but he can't force her to ride it. i wonder what will happen..... looking foward for the next episode. the comedy is still funny as usual especially the pool scene xD |
 |
| Episode from the "flavor family," I do not mind that there is focus on the feelings of the characters, even this point is important, but a bit of action would give what little bit extra. Not bad the script, which does not forget to give some news, just not to stop the march of history; given the robot, I had to imagine similar enemies, decked with armor, even if I seem a little strange, I always imagined aliens in a different way, and yet, they are not a girl from stereotypes. LOL I think the two things go hand in hand. I agree. P.S. Nothing bad excuse used to show the characters in bathing suits, although it is not new. |
 |
| Aww poor Yukina in this episode :/ |
| Yukina is going all emo-Shinji on us.This isn't the only Eva similarity I'm seeing at this point... (and that image is hilarious!) Weird time to have a fanservice pool scene. Sophie or Shenmei, I can't choose. I have a feeling the dead boys aren't dead... we will see. |
  |
| Really good counterbalance to the previous full action episode. I only disliked how the reason not to pilot rapidly shifted from "I won't help kill humans" to cowardice and "I won't let you realize your goal and end your life". 4/5 The "I refuse to pilot and run away" pressured mecha pilot teen is a standard in most post-Gundam productions. You can't blame this one for using it because it is way more believable than Kôji (Gô Nagai series) always ready to kick asses. And this hero didn't have to really worry about himself or his integrity because ennemies were evil non-humans and his machine was pretty much invulnerable (except maybe a unique weak point somewhere). |
| Decent episode, the fan service was ok |
 |
| Dumb, disgusting and shameful. |
 |
| Gotta love the popsicle stick sword fight. Good character stuff this episode! |
| Hnnnngh sensei in that black swimsuit |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Those Aliens need a better home designer and a better fashion designer. Also those chairs do not look comfortable and are tacky as hell. I am not gonna criticize Yukina for not wanting to have the weight of saving the world on her shoulders or kill people but the whole "my friends made fun of me because i said something in school" is quite the over-dramatized bullshit. Btw if those two are really dead then i'll give this show some credit. Not because i think we need deaths but because it just isn't logical for the to survive such a thing. |
| Dat flashback. lol at Tom prefacing what he was going to say. Yukina won't be getting in the artifact anymore? WTF! She will get in the robot! They're missing. Mika. Yukina doesn't want to get in the robot. Can Mika take her place? Marina. Tom and his anal jokes. LAWd JESUS! SUGOI! Marina in that swimsuit! Dat oppai! Dat Mika body! Dat oppai. lol at Kennosuke in a loincloth. Oh shit! Kennosuke attracting the bitches plus Mika. Dat oppai. Kennosuke, you should feel honored that Mika touched you. Marina oppai! Dat bounce! Winner. Kennosuke using a tablet. lol Galoo. lol lol at Yukina saying if kaasan came to tell her to get back in the robot. Dat slap! I knew it was coming. LMAO at Yukina being remembered because she didn't make breakfast. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Gave it a 2 because of the aliens. Worst episode of the season other than that, |
Watching this one a few years late, but that pimp slap applied to Yukina was epic. Her flashback made her realize that as a kid she told her old man to get lost because she was being made fun of and sure enough, he disappeared soon after. She has no ambition to do anything and blames everyone else for how she turned out. She just wants to do nothing. She wants to fade into the scenery due to the teasing she took because of her old man's theories. For Yukina to have the audacity to say to her Mom that she wished her Dad wasn't her Dad and calling him a jerk - she deserved getting slapped. She is full of venom and lashes out at everyone around her that she feels has wronged her in some way. Any she has the nerve to complain that her Mom and Dad only thought about themselves. She has done a pretty good job of doing that herself. "Why can't you act like a mother?" What did she want her to do? Say, yeah my husband, who I miss dearly, was such an asshole. You are so smart my waste of space daughter! <groan> Oh well, I hope this is an epiphany for her with a healthy dose of self-inspection and she figures out what she wants to do and how she can move forward. |
| Oh those ofi forg people look like judges from FFXII. Also, I was right about kuromukuro being stolen. Anyway, not a big fan of this drama, I know it's necessary for character development but I just don't feel it. |
