| Close to dropping this and the next episode preview looks awful. |
 |
| I was screaming at them to shoot the damn crepe truck, but noooo. Go ahead and let them get set up in their mobile weapon and shoot you first before you do anything. Wtf lmao |
| This is legitimately one of the worst shows I've seen in my entire life. |
NonStopRoad said: definitely one of the most stupid military base and antagonist ever seen.. the base gate is always open, only one guard at gate (and one behind the computer), how can no one suspecting big flashy crepe truck just go in like that? and the enemy, why he need to come closer (only to get shot by daichi) while his weapon is gun? this is not samurai duel right? they really ignoring "3 episode" rules..i know it's 2 cour but IMO they not set anything solid in the first 4 eps See that why I facepalmed during many of the ridiculous scenes in this episode |
| "only 2 of us, how to attack enemy's base?" "no worries, we have a mecha in out truck" defeated by a kid with a handgun... |

| This show wants me to take villains seriously when quality of their schemes is basically Team Rocket or early one-episode Sailor Moon villains? Still, I like Amara. Moco is a walking cliche. It's sad how Daichi went from fairly unique, relatable protagonist from the first half of episode one (when he was thinking about how reading about his interest isn’t considered learning, and how something may be wrong with him) to a standard determined shonen hero with power of friendship. His behavior bothers me a lot, it's not realistic at all. And he succeedes, of course, and saves the day when everyone else (save Akari) is helpless and just stares from the sidelines. So far only interesting characters for me are Teppei, Akari and Nishikubo. Hana is okay, but I feel she's more like a prop for now. I find her squirrel really irritating. |
| Dem belly buttons ;3!! I wish someone would give me a belly button forte every time I feel down T_T I enjoyed it but like everyone said this feels like Team Rocket blasting off every episode. |

| So many questions. Hope it's later revealed. |
| I don't understand how they got past the guard at the entrance in the first place. So they somehow remotely fooled the camera without the security system noticing that it got tampered with. They also remotely deactivated that before actually hacking. And they somehow hacked the whole security system. Even if that guy has a full fledged computer, a connection to HQ and a way to enter stuff like a terminal.. And here i thought the portrait computer interaction in anime got quite realistic lately. Heck, some are that detailed that you can find out the Windows version they are using. But this.. And to top it off: How did they get out of the car and inside the (probably locked) room without him noticing that they are opening the doors, running around, opening the door etc.? Was he supposed to be *that* focused on her boobs? Well, belly button forte and "logical logical" saved the episode. |
| The last couple of weeks I've been defending this anime in hopes it would turn out better, but this episode was terrible... oh well there is still hope! |

Amara and Moco are on the move against using their skills. Shit, a virus attack this time too.. I thought the latest episode was neat actually. Those two are pretty damn daring on missions. Still, I thought Daichi was more daring and really took that with his own hands. Nice. This is a decent episode so far. I knew it that they did hid a robot in that fruit creme truck haha |

I have Deadman wonderland at 5. It was mediocre at best. Valvrave was definitely one of the better mecha to release in the past few years, and in almost every way better than this. Elfen lied needs no defending. Now that I think of it, I do remember you bitching on every Valvrave episode thread back then lol. Why didn't you just drop it instead of always coming back to bitch more, when you clearly didn't like it? Should have dropped it, like I'm doing for this. |

Elfen Lied as one biggest turds indeed doesn't need defending. I watched Valvrave because it was entertaining. Not good, sometimes close to garbage, with shit epilogue but still entartaining mess. |

| Don't know about you guys but I find this anime highly entertaining. Sure, there's still a lot of questions, but I believe it'll slowly get tied up together as the anime progresses. For now, I like the way it's going :) |
| That fanservice, thanks Bones (in every way you want to see it). Your work is always appreciated. |

| I am so confused by so many things in this series...... |

Was he supposed to be *that* focused on her boobs? Well, belly button forte and "logical logical" saved the episode. I do like Amara and Moco, I've found their attack pretty bold, and two of them attacking the entire base, shows they have little fear whatsoever. Well they still ran away and stuff. Anyway as for confusions I guess we can clear some things, for starters: 1) There are many groups, namely Globe, the Ark Faction, Salty Dog (which seems part of Ark Faction) and such that are pretty aware of the Killtgangs and want to face them/use them for their own agendas. 2) The Killtgangs have an Avatar which is their human forms, this form as seen from the havoc Amara and Moco pulled out, isn't necesarily superhuman but can pull a trick or too to get where they want. 3) Their TRUE forms are the mechas, and their goal is for THIS form to reach Earth, because once that happens they win and humanity loses. How? I have no idea, but it goes on the lines of them using humans as food, maybe some sort of Life Fiber-esque devouring power of sorts? Also based on how they claim humans "want" this, it seems the guy that talks to talking-computer has some instrumentality plan of sorts? 4) Based on the above, it seems their true forms are on a different location than their avatars and can only be awakened using these Machine Goodfellow cockpits, right? That's pretty much what we can grasp right? |

| This show needs more Akari. I thought Team Rocket the bad guys were somewhere on space and not down on Earth. Lastly what's up with this libido hunt ? No wonder they come from "Uranus", heh. |

| Okay, this episode was so stupid for some reason. First, HOW THE FUCK DID THEY GOT ON EARTH? Is it so easy to get on Earth for them? Then why not fucking invading the Earth? They seem way more powerful than human. Second, assaulting a base with shop-truck, seriously? That's the dumbest thing I've ever seen (well, no, I'm exagerating). Thirdly, is the security of a high-tech base that shitty? What was doing that face detector, didn't they find it odd that a random food truck was trying to get in a military base? And why virus in anime always look so dumb and so easy to counter? Damn, that seriously wasn't the best episode by now :/ It felt so incoherent and confusing. They attacked an enemy base only to have small chat with a guy they only seem to know by name? Again, that was fucking stupid. |

| finally got to watch the episode after putting it off for a week, im astonished at how dumb people are being with the "how did they get to earth" complaint, they've been on earth the entire time its been pretty fucking clear since ep 1 that they were, yet another case of, a show doesnt outright spoonfeed you its bad |

| I'm enjoying it and it's lot of fun to watch, but it's killing me with all the strange terms. It had better explain at least half of them along the way. Oh and to all those confused about them either being in space or on earth:the villains were apparently on earth, but their mechs ('kiltgangs") or whatever are in space and they somehow "become" (psychic/spirit control?) them like Teppei did in the 3rd episode. Oh and apparently something bad will happen if they make it to earth with them. |
| 5/5 Episode not striking, however it has a good pace and the plot is developed with calm. I would not complain too easy raid on the base, you could say so many good things in his defense. The important thing is that the atmosphere which will result by the story you are creating little by little, is I like that. The enemy, perhaps because of its Costume Design from the impresione not to be so bad, one of the most badass would give a different aura. Drawings and animations discrete, the work of the Bones is quality, as can be seen in the scenarios. I notice that on MAL, there are a few fans of mecha series, due to the low value of the vote. What a shame ... |

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Belly button forte. Belly button forte. Belly button forte. Honestly I thought she said mezzo forte and my mind just went somewhere and... yeah XD! Those two kiltgangs are definitely related to Team Rocket. I just can't take them seriously. |

I am not asking about where is this going because I know that it is until much later for that to be revealed, but I just want to know what the hell are they talking about? who are they and who are they fighting? I don't even want the reason, I just want to know who ! I believe I am supposed to know that by the 5th episode right? It's all about the bellybuttons dude. |
| Pretty nice, so Teppei lost his memories and used to be one of the bad guys at first? So then what is the girl? And the hacker girl is quite good too, I wonder if she should be going home like that. Could get dangerous for her. |
