| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yey! Here goes the Sensei! LOL! I don't quite understand the 1st Lieutenant's message for Melissa. Keep it hidden from others that the Lieutenant and him are best friends? Did he mean the deceased Lieutenant or Melissa? LOL! XD |
     |
| ^ He was talking about the deceased Gail McAllen. He didn't want the troops of his unit, the guys with codename Uruz, to sympathize with him over the loss of their friend Gail but to move on and be stronger and fight. He wants to keep his self-image for his team as the bad guy who feels nothing but power to fight. I didn't quite understand Chidori's reaction to that one girl with the sister. Some sort of eerie feeling or maybe some "whispered" side-effect. I'm guessing its just a huge bad feeling that set her off the edge. |
   |
| Kanaka, well it was probably also because she might've got an hunch that sousuke was missing etc. I like the new character introduction, they did it well, but they just had to ruin it with spoon feeding you his and captain's (whatever her name is, I'm bad at names :p) intentions with the introduction. |
 |
| Damn that Sagura he made my Tessa cry. |
 |
| well im now interested in ben's technique that he used to defeat sousuke. well onto the next one, it seems promising |
| Stupid Sousuke snap out of it already! |
| Damn I sure hope that room was soundproof. That was quite an incdient there. I suppose it had to happen though. Sousuke really doesn't react until someone throws it in his face. Of course Tessa made solid points there. He's pretty much using orders to make it easier on himself. If it's an order there is nothing he can do about it. He needs to step up and say what it is he wants. Until he's at least honest with himself he won't get anywhere at all. Though it's not a good move on Tessa's part to bush him toward that unit. He already is frustrated with it, but with it being a reason he was taken away from Chidori he'll only resent and hate it which won't help him use it any better. It's a risky move to try what they are doing. It'll either work or severely backfire. |
| ewww, in first minutes Tessa annoyed me so much -.- i wanted throw somethin at the monitor when she started to cry, |
| The new leader seemed pretty solid. I just hope he doesn't turn evil or something and just continues being a baddass. |
     |
| Tessa pwned Sousuke so bad. |
| Arrgh, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be taking this series! Is it entertainment, or is it art? I wish they'd throw aside all pretense, and do what they clearly want to do. It annoys me how some of these scenes are gad damn beautiful, and others are pandering silliness. And even the best parts are too incoherent, as the messages are mixed and unrelated to each other. Go figure that the better this series gets, the more I get angry at it for not being perfect... |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| Sigh. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Eh, poor Tessa...cool new Lieutenant though...and i think the bad guy maybe his probably the Leader, the guy with long white hair is probably Tessa's brother they talked about in one of the earlier episodes >:O |
| Another great episode. Tessa acted like a selfish brat rather than a Captain at the start and Sousuke's responses were so blunt it made me laugh. I wonder what the history between Melissa and the new Lieutenant is though. |
 |
| So that's the guy who saved them in Sicilia, looks like an interesting character. Sagara turning bad? I could totally see it, though it won't happen. Anyway, I wonder who's stationed to guard Chidori. |
 |
| Tessa was saying legitimate things.. but then she had to get all annoying 1/2 way through. Stop while you're ahead or STFU Tessa. I like the new Lieutenant. He's a hard ass. C'mon Sagara snap outta it. |
  |
| Tessa had some pent-up rage. The new Lt's explanation that you work best with something you don't consider to be just a machine is believable. |
'Everything is impossible until proven possible.' - Me |
| The scene with Tessa was excellent. I'm surprised something so good came from this fake love-interest angle (there was never any chance that Sousuke would be attracted to Tessa). I like that she got genuinely angry with him and didn't immediately regret it. Unfortunately, the rest of the episode was pretty terrible. This new character did nothing but play out shonen fighting anime cliches. Suddenly our badass hero who's prevailed in (almost) every circumstance before, including taking out a big scary villain at the end of the first series, is a sloppy weakling. What now? We going to spend episodes on him learning to be a better robot pilot? Sound fascinating. The new character delivering samurai cliche lines like "the weapon is an extension of the soldier's body" made it all the worse. The only upside is the scene where he and Mao talk and Sousuke's failure is connected to the stiff nature of his life in general. |
| Fuck you Tessa, fuck you. How dare you raise your voice to Sagara! You got the audacity to speak to him like that! LOL Anyways, another amazing episode! |
 |
| Man, I feel sooo bad for Sagara D=. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| This was another amazing episode. Sagara has a lot on his mind so it's understandable how he was defeated. 5/5 Hoping there's a kiss scene. It would be so awesome after sitting through the first and second season with little romantic development. |
 |
| I hate Tessa, such a selfish bitch. |
 |
| Tessa being jealous... xD The new captain is badass yet I can sense some sensitivity... No Kaname =( 4/5 |
 |
| Damn what an episode... the commander acting like that and then this new dude who looks like a total jerk but is quite skilled well things sure are developing nice but the events happening are quite impacting to the story! |
 |
| The feels, the action and the character development. My gassh. This season is somewhat of an emotional roller coaster ride. From the kaname's feelings of lost, tessas 'jealousy', souskes 'moping' and the new leader of SRT. |
 |
| Tessa is such a petty little shit, she KNOWS she doesn't have a fricking chance, she KNOWS how Sousuke feels about Kaname (damaged, emotionally constipated Sousuke), and yet she screams at him and cries because he doesn't wanna bang her? Frick this, I hate her. That isn't love, bitch. That's an obsessive, weak ass crush. She'd BETTER feel guilty, little bitch. > > I get where the new lieutenant was coming from, still wouldn't surprise me if by the end of all of this Sousuke is like f u to the entire Mithil organization and goes home to Kaname. I know that's what I would do. :x |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| Remembering this episode after years. I think it was one of the best episodes of the series. The moment when Sousuke talks with his new superior and doesn't understanding why he was defeated, with that sad soundtrack... I just wish KyoAni made another season with this quality. |
| Dayum, Teletha was straight up GARBAGE this episode! ;D Well she never had a chance anyway, but that certainly was the last nail in the coffin. I like the new guy, who it turns out saved them in Sicily. He gave Sousuke quite the nicely animated sparring session, and some good advice. Back to Kaname next. |
| Solid episode, compared to the first half it's really starting to feel like I'm watching art unfold. Not sure how I feel about Tessa though, she was right about some points but she's taking it way too perosnal. I'm liking the new Lieutenant. |
 |
| damn that was depressing being used like that |
 |
| Tessa is honestly such a shit, pointless character that any melodrama around her and her feelings for Sousuke simply does not work. She was making some good points at first, but ultimately just devolved into throwing a temper tantrum cos Sousuke doesn't really care about her (and why would he, when they almost never interact in anything other than a professional capacity?). I've kinda just realised at this point that I don't give a damn about anything whatsoever involving Mithril, it's by far the most tedious part of the entire show to sit through and adds almost nothing to the overall experience. I liked it much better when it was more or less a framing device for Sousuke doing soldier things in school and public in general, rather than being the exclusive focus of the show: every episode without Kaname is thoroughly mediocre at best. |
| McAllen was their team leader? I thought that was Melissas job? I dont think I have ever even seen him in a mech. This season has all the developement I would have expected to have happened in season 1. Not very professional from the captain. Just how big is Mithril actually? |
