I guess the captain is really going for Sousuke. But Sousuke's such an idiot that he can't take a hint.

ok... tessa's cute and all.. but i still like chidori for sousuke.. hahah :D


Agreed.

Also, Sousuke coaching Tessa was funny.
That's all I really got out of the episode. It was just a venue to get Tessa and Sousuke together. I would still take Tessa over Kaname. Tessa is definately more of a lady than Kaname.

As for questiong Sousuke's "straightness". You need to remember that he likes Chidori and he looks at Tessa as his commanding officer, not a potential girlfriend. So he's trying to keep a professional distance from her, even if she wasn't.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Indeed, I was just about to write this.

I liked this episode. It was fun watching Tessa and Melissa argue with each other.. ^^

Jeesus whats with you guys in fillers. Just because a episode is not related to the manga materiel doesn't mean its bad. Did you get some laughs out of this episode? Did you want to see one of the girls run around naked? lol I know i sure did. I found it pretty hilarious and i was cracking up and for that alone i give it a 5/5. when that guy was like "so weren't one of you girls going to run around naked" I busted up. I just knew that was coming. That was comedy cold and a great way to end the episode.

Honestly it bugs me how much people dislike everything if its not the actual manga materiel. Had you not actually read the manga, i bet you would of had a different view and opinion on this episode. You have to look at it from a different point of view. Its a comedy episode, a small break in between the action is never a bad thing.

I totally agree with this sentiment, even though I didn't think the episode was so great either. I've come to expect the half-way filler episode anyways, so I'm not disappointed unless the filler sucks. I really despise the viewpoint that an anime should faithfully follow the manga, it's like saying "stop being creative, I want recreation, not innovation!"

Pretty funny episode but seemed a bit of a let down after the last few action-based episodes. The best part was when Sousuke was trying to escape from under Tessa :P

I thought it was hilarious when Tessa was on Sousuke, & he was trying to get up ;)
I didn't know Tessa & Melissa had that kind of relationship :O

The AS training fight was okay,

Haha so true, but i thought the episode was "okay" too, though i loved to see a different side of Tessa, and i really liked the fact that Melissa and her seem to behave like best friends somehow, that's cool! Still i really -dislike- the fact, that Tessa's so flirty with Sousuke xD

Why would Melissa speak to Tessa like that? It's serious insubordination. Very unlikely.

But Tessa is so cute.

A pretty strange duel. Surprising that Melissa was outwitted in the end. Tessa could barely move around that thing in the training session with Sousuke before. Glad they're friends again though! :)

disliked it.
seems like the animator likes tessa more than kaname.
ughhh.i was waiting for kaname to show up.then she didnt even have a minute worth of screentime in this episode.

and when tessa was bragging to mao that she can pilot the AS, i was like, "good then. at least even if you cant protect yourself(even though YOU ARE A CAPTAIN) and you have an annoying voice,at least you're good at something other than saying out orders".

but then it turned out like that. what she did is as good as cheating.
yea and i dont like the way it ended


All of this.
It was so infuriating that after the stupid little chipmunk bitch antagonized Melissa, compared her to a hooker, and then lied her prissy little ass off about knowing how to pilot an AS, that she should WIN after all of that? So. Annoyed.

(Not to mention how uncute and creepy her sexual harassment of Sousuke was, like he tried to scoot away from her for god knows how long, ew. Give me Kaname bonking him on the head a hundred times over Tessa and her disregard for other people's feelings and creep ass 'claim' on him. Barf.)

I need to watch the next episode to cleanse my soul. (hopefully tessa isn't in it, or at least she's respectful to personal space and feelings.)

Oh darn, was hoping Mao would win. At the same time I definitely woulda enjoyed her paying the penalty more. XD Anyway another one-off. Jarring comedic tonal shift at first compared to last episode, but there were some tears by the end. Literally 15 seconds or so of Kaname compared to Teletha flirting like crazy with Sousuke. Girl was practically dry humping him at one point!...she still has no chance. XD

I didn't realize that an episode without Chidori (for the most part) was going to be so relaxing.
I actually didn't notice she was grating on my nerves until she wasn't grating on my nerves.
Amazing.
But the thing is, she isn't bad, really! I guess the tsundere and misunderstanding stuff just gets you down after a while.;;

This episode kind of acted as a reliever. Well it would have been fun, if the promise the two ladies made; of running a lap naked then this episode might have a little exciting. In the end both the women came to realization of each others' responsibilities. Just a question, how a in the world a 16 yr old girl became he commander of an entire unit ?????

Damn, Tessa has a really aggressive side to her huh. That training in the beach made me lol so hard. So far, I think she's a better match to Sousuke.
