| That princess can handle her own. Nice! |
| If we could have the princess & MC replace the princess & MC in Gundam Unicorn we will have the perfect mecha |
| Wow this episode was really interesting! I like it when characters of an anime figure out the answer to a problem and follow a plan that succeeds! That aspect kind of reminds me of NGNL... |

| Anyone else bothered by Inaho's complete lack of emotion/expression? Like he has absolutely no reaction towards anything and his indifference isn't even coming off as cool -.- |

| 00:51 dat expression 08:21 dat track 08:48 he's good 09:56 as if she'd understand that chikyuu term 10:46 really should do Inko before the mission, bro 12:21 heyy <3 17:15 your himesama's in it, mrn 19:02 dat awesomeness 8.5/10 for this episode. Take that, those who've complaint about the MC. |
| 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. |
| Great, someone died this episode! A real bitch too! Slaine best character. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Loving this show. It could possibly go on my top animes ever list if the rest of the show is like this. I've always loved mech animes and I love even more underdogs/geniuses using smarts to defeat a powerful enemy. This one perfectly fits the bill. I'm so excited to see the rest of the series. I got Code Geass and AoT vibes from the first few eps. Obviously they're not exactly the same but it has all the mystery, action, and thrills from those shows. I loved the scene where "emotionless" Inaho says "this is for my friend." BLAM BLAM BLAM. Got goosebumps! I'm felt some character develop there. |

| Dat OST was Awesome. The last seconds 0.0 |
strategist26 said: IF the martian kataprat blocks all signals how is it getting video streaming? also since its a martian suit ( u know mars being a desert i.e. storms and bad weather making it impossible to see) why the f does it not have infra red technology or something in it. seriously smoke is making an advanced suit blind?! WTF tho it was a shocker Im just gonna let it slide. But still just curious. You noticed how there was a gap in the barrier that they shoved a knife through at the end of the episode? yea, that's how the camera signals get in. And infrared wouldn't make a difference, today it's possible to make smoke that blocks infrared just as well as visible light. |
| I love how the music is executed awesome |
 |
| Inaho's really something, great episode. |
 |
| like, WHYYY are there so many stoic heros trending nowadays This reminds me so much of when I was watching kakumeiki valvrave cause of the whole students fighting with the whole humanoid-shaped battle suit except for the fact that show I SWEAR was trolling everyone. Couldn't take the series seriously. Very amusing. Some memorable quotes : YOLO, inspirational coffee and sugar speech, eruerufu In this one I feel less like I'm being trolled but honestly questioning whether Inaho is even freaking human. If he's a humanoid I wouldn't be surprised. I mean back in that scene where his friend let go of his hand and went poof... his face didn't inch or change in the slightest which almost convinced me that the jerk let go LOL Well, for one thing I'm glad there is NOT a MC who is freaking blowing his head off and doing the most idiotic things ever ...in which he somehow makes it alive and saves the day. I like cool and composed MCs but this guy I swear is .jpg all the time. Literally a moving picture. Face always stays the same. Give this poor young man some character development and emotions for gods sake |

I try to read it, but my eyes hurt so I made myself a limit. I doubt you'll reply though. Anyway... So Saazbaum is the crazy traitor. Hopefully not all the Orbital Knights are evil. Inaho, his plan, and the execution are simply amazing with the OST. Inaho's too freakin' clever. Everyone just helped out in this plan. Calm, Inko, Yuki, Marito, and Rayet. Even Princess Asseylum helped by showing her true form. Inaho avenged his friend! But Slaine at the end was awesome. I'm so glad he got rid of Trillram. He might be able to report it to Cruhteo, but I doubt Cruhteo will believe him. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |

| I'm still not fan of those CG battles, it feels lowframe and not smooth to me. And their try to be overly technical and descriptive when talking about tech is drawback for me, as I find this technobabble unnecessary (but I understand this can be considered fanservice for some people). Music inside the ep was good but action itself felt unsatisfactory because Martian pilot was stupid and there was no clever action from him other than destroy, destroy, destroy. As of how story was - everything went as expected, princess revealed, and general that was behind this was all obvious since ep1. If anything I found Slaine more interesting character than main hero is right now. |
| Wow, I dropped this anime after the first 2 awfully slow-paced episodes but I'm grateful I picked this up again. I'm starting to like the characters, especially Inko and Slaine. Inaho needs more emotions though. I really can't get enough of Sawano. |
 |
| Hmm still not sure what to make of this, while being a fun, enjoyable show it still has a number of issues and cliche's. Feels like a watered down, somewhat kiddy version of Gundam? That doesn't mean its bad or anything though. Nice to see Slaine isn't a wimp as I expected though :D |

| i almost fainted when Slaine offed the villain. how many times i've wished for that scenario and almost never get it. im completely shocked right now. that was the appropriate response. when i saw dude climb out of the water i lost all hope for a brief moment. they got me good. i think the anime could have ended right there and been better than 99% of what i've seen so far. |
| 5/5 Putting aside the fact that young and beautiful is a must that is fashionable, yet, and vintage men that young people are not so smart to develop a strategy against the bad guys, the episode I liked it overall. Plot develop a story that sees not far-fetched, some ideas are questionable, but others I like for their anime with no approval of the same type, such as the fact that the protagonist does not participate in the action right away and that uses a mecha identical to group. Speaking of narration, manages to be engaging, despite the unexpected drop in the field of princess magic Asseylum! XD Drawings and animations good. Character design that while not pleasing me, is well done and very sudden end. I can not wait to see the next episode. |

Kaioshin_Sama said: MAL is going to lose it's shit over this episode considering how edgy it is and depicts a genius protagonist owning the idiot enemy that the other idiot side couldn't even scratch while loud "epic" Sawano music plays in the background. It's literally everything modern anime fandom loves except just in a mecha package for a change. I bet if everyone hated this show you will be praising the shit out of it. You are such a hipster. Keten said: Forgetfulness said: Although I'm not a huge fan of "kids/teenagers doing everything", I thought this episode was really good. I appreciated how they thought everything through and their method of taking down a seemingly-invincible Martian was not complete bullshit Although I do have to question, when they say that the barrier absorbs everything, then shouldn't that include light? How can they see it properly? lol I wonder what the princess is up to. Can't wait for more episodes and hope it can stay as good as this episode was Ya, I wasn't a fan of the way they worded that, it wasn't well done. They described it like it was some sort of black hole. You can't just turn off and on a power capable of absorbing light, that would cause the entire planet to go ballistic. Lol Yeah if it can absorb light then it should look like a big massive dark shadow or something. It doesn't exactly make sense. Also what the fuck, where to everything it absorbs go? A barrier that absorbs things instead of deflecting them really makes no sense. So if that thing stayed in the ocean it would have absorbed the whole damn sea? And how exactly that shit would work? A black hole absorbs shits and throws them god knows where, also it throws lots of the shit it absorbs back in pieces etc. But what about this thing? A barrier that works like a black hole just doesn't make sense. |

| dammit those over-the-top OSTs gave me adrenaline rush... so awesome. Great action scenes too and dat animation. I'm glad Slaine had the balls to kill that traitorous bastard. |
 |
| I'm starting to like this :D Inaho had a good plan ... though it was pathetic the army didn't realised how that robot was working but a kid.. Also Slaine isn't as lame as I initially though. |
 |
| That monster called Trilliam (or however that name is spelled)... serves him right! Thank you to both, Slaine, Inaho! |
| Awesome episode, Dat soundtrack as well though is brilliant. Nice to see that these enemies have weaknesses since the first 2 episodes made them look near invincible. |
| Ovious princess is obvious! Pretty nice episode though, his plan sure worked out flawlessly! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| I was wondering how come that the princess looks completely different :) I liked these kids, they figured it out! P.S. I wonder what the "Terran" will do next... |
| Epic ost, Awesome episode. Nice plan Inaho ^^ |
 |
| For me was obvious that the princess wasn't death. I mean, in first episode the scenes and how the aparently diead were very suspicious. Now my question is: how did she avoided the missiles and survived? |
| Inaho is a very good leader attacking the bridge instead of the mech itself. This is what mech battles are all about. Princess is still alive. Looks like some of the martians wanted her to die to start a war with earth. Slaine finally growing a pair and killing that a hole in the pillbug mech. |
 |
| The seemingly invincible machine has its own weaknesses, nice. I like how the princess is (kinda) badass~ Wow that last part though slaine, expecting you to be less of a dull and meek character now~ wonder if he'll join the princess |
 |
| The ending though. Well done slaine that bastard could go to hell now. |
