| Getting serious! |

| The Gargantia might be in trouble if all of those ships leave the fleet. Glad the plot is finally picking up. |
| Not a bad episode i really liked the part when the hidauze are passing beneath the gargantia, really felt the tension though i wonder why none of the crew are that surprised that he has found in the sea the same monsters he is fighting in space |
| looks like the lolligagging is over and the story and battle of ethics and morals will come into play. It's always this way when giant monsters or a greater-than-humanity threat is in the plot. The true enemy will always be the corrupt morals of a few, and I always had a funny feeling about the blond rig worker. In the beginning he just wanted to bust up the robot and get rid of the kid. Now he wants to play "friendly" with Ledo now that he knows Ledo can bust up a demi-god squid and has powerful motives that offer no hesitation. tsk tsk humanity （−＿− ） |

 |
| He should just start killing all those whale squids! Lets see what will happen to the captain! Some nice development going on here! |
 |
| Hmmm, I've got a feeling the time travel thing is going to turn out true... I really hope not though, just because it's so predictable. I and everyone else apparently expect that, so I hope this series ends up surprising me in a good way. So far, while I enjoyed the series up until now... I'll be a tad disappointed if the huge reveal of this series is something I suspected since episode 1. |
| Exciting episode. Stand-off was pretty intense. |
ChinesePanda said: Probably this.I think the Hideauze HUNT AFTER ENERGY not advanced civilizations thats why they went after the QUANTUM ENERGY of the Closer Pass bomb, HAVE A NEST ON SUPER RADIOACTIVE SUN that the Alliance can't attack behind also hence why Gargantia turns EVERYTHING OFF to --AVOID-- them. SayakaMagica said: And this.This suggests to me that during the time when most of humanity left Earth for space, there could have been a conflict where those who left believed coexistence with these creatures were impossible - and those who remained were probably part of a religion that respected and sought to live alongside them. In any case, the Hideauze seem to display a degree of intelligence that makes them respond in force to the death of one of their own - and are drawn to any active human application of technology nearby. Poor Amy :( The other people really should have at least try to understand Ledo's point of view. He grew up only knowing them as enemies to humanity, not as animals. I would have been more surprised if Ledo just gave up either before killing the first one or setting off trying killing the others. Poor Commodore :/ He will probably die, leaving Ridget as the captain, who won't be able to hold together Gargantia :/ I really don't understand what that captain and Pinion wants. Even if they get their hands on some cool shit, they won't be able to defend themselves anymore with fewer people and ships. Well Ledo will be probably there though. Still, I hope they find something that will tell us more about what went down on Earth before or during the ice age (which is the direction I guess the anime will go in). |

| Fleet commander looks like he's gonna die. Damn, what a horrible time to get a heart attack. Looks like Ledo must/wants to kill those whalesquids really bad. He's gonna leave! Don't leave Amy behind! I wonder if Ledo also traveled back on time and not just space. |
| dam tense episode so the caption is going to die I can only assume D: strange story but pretty cool |
 |
| So intense when the squids passed under the fleet. Have a bad feeling Ledo is going to leave... |
~my list
| Really good episode but I did not like how he made Amy sad :( |
| Now things got interesting. I understand Ledo, he was born to kill the Hideauze. The captain got a heart attack, oh no! Very good episode. |
 |
| I think Hideauze are basically whalesquid cylons. Humans genetically engineered whalesquids as weapons and they got out of control. The people of Gargantia have previously been shown to respect nature so its a simple explanation as to why killing whalesquid is taboo. Alternatively, Hideauze aren't dangerous if left alone but the people of Gargantia have long since forgotten why killing whalesquid is taboo and are surviving because they preserve tradition. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| So... those things are Hideauze, right? I mean they look exactly like them. They are probably the reason why a lot of humans left earth. |
| Just commenting for posterity. One of my favorite episodes in an anime. I really enjoyed Ledo's speech to Amy and Bevel. I wish he was able to give Commodore Fairlock the exact same speech - would have led to some great back and forth. Even knowing the ending to this show, I still agree wholeheartedly with Ledo. The humans of earth live like cowards and only aim to scrape by and survive. There is no development of civilization, rather a regression. I wonder what Gargantia's literacy rate is. The people of Gargantia may not realize it, but eventually their attitudes will cause the collapse of human civilization on earth. Afterall, how long can they keep those rust buckets afloat? They will have to move on someday and they don't seem prepared for it. |
| it's the stress of the whalesquid attack that got him all worked up and now his heart can't handle the stress. i get why Ledo wants to get rid of those creatures; he knows what they'll evolve to become. and i kinda understand the Gargantia people's reasoning; they want to maintain the peace they are enjoying, but really both sides should sit down and talk about why Ledo's gung-ho on killing those things. |
