Not a great episode again, but definitely the best episode so far as it did have some shining moments here and there. Loved the scene where Eureka and Renton were fighting together under the moonlight, and while Holland was being an asshole to Renton for most of the episode, kind of understandable given the context of what he and Eureka had to go through with this place in the past while Renton with no context or knowledge about it felt happy about being in the area like that.

Man why the hell didnt Moondoggie do anything when Holland hit the shit outta Renton. Also Why does the military do the things they do... there no explanation. Kids are still annoying as well.

Let me just say that despite the reasons, Holland punching Renton twice is nothing but fucking immature. What a manchild to do that to someone who has yet to know a clue about anything.

Now, this ep brought some huge revelation, the real reason in the truth of the location. It seems that Gekkostate used to be a Special Operations Force tasked with doing the military's dirty work all without question. All those techs on the Gekko aircraft start to make a lot of sense now, so does their action. Smuggling organs, dealing with the mafia, they're all child's-play when the core members of the Gekkostate themselves used to be cold-blooded murderers who are capable and has massacred civilians without mercy. Eureka in particular is a terrifying sight to see. Imagine seeing her as she guns your family down without even the slightest facial expressions or flincing.

This is the perfect wake up call for Renton! Now that he knows of Gekkostate's past and more of the backstory of Holland and Eureka, he now should be aware that being a part of them meant that he will be waging and fighting in the war.

With Renton knowing all that, he has now finally become the official member of Gekkostate with his new room. Finally... I wonder how long has it been, a month, maybe more?

A lot of lore with no actual context or explanation. I've seen worse but after this long it'd be nice if they could have gotten there sooner or at least slow down on the lore so they actually explain each piece in its turn. Like doing a puzzle from random places instead of the borders/corners like you're supposed to.

To those who don't find the early episodes very captivating, episode 9 is where I think the anime becomes more intriguing. The first 8 episodes are mostly just focused on Renton's role aboard the Gekko, his struggles and wins. But episode 9 develops the themes and world-building, which is a good change of focus.
