lol i knew it immediately. XD Orga and the others are so dense.


I don't know what you are trying to imply here. Orga never met Chocolate Aznable. Only Biscuit, Atra and Mika met him. Atra was not even present when he showed up this time. Going by what you have said, the only one who missed it is Biscuit. Regardless, it's not easy to recognize a person just by voice alone unless one is very sharp (Mika); particularly when you have met that person only once (Biscuit in this case; you may add Atra here for future discussion purpose if it recurs).

I apologize. I seem to have them all meeting Chocolate man in the field in my memory. Thanks for clearing that up

Watching through the episode, when they have shown Chocolate Man meeting with Naze and Orga/Biscuit/Kudelia, I am like where is Mika? I wanna see his reaction seeing Masked Chocolate Man...

and he did not disappoint, he discovered Chocolate Man right away. Hahaha.

The feels at the end, where both Atra and Kudelia are crying. >.<
Also, the name "Fumitan" in their tablets. Woo.

Does anyone else feel that Lacus Clyne speech


Not really. Lacus Clyne was our happy-go-lucky princess for almost the entire anime. And she didn't have to go through such setbacks Kudelia went through. I think she was pretty average until the final few episodes of SEED which skyrocketed her popularity.

Agreed, Lacus's words never had much weight in them anyways, at least not like Kudelia's speech in this episode. could almost say the same with Relena

Not much else to say here that people haven't said already. It was yet another great episode, especially in terms of Kudelia's character growth and Mika's current development as elaborated by CG's post. Also, at first, I was more or less indifferent about Atra, but she's really growing on me since she's such a nice person that it's hard not to like her for being so supportive and compassionate.

Kudelia was really cool. Until this time she was girlish. She's act decisively so I'm happy.
I laught when only Mika identified the Masked (Choco) guy.
It was an interesting episode. I am curious what will happen from this deal.

As to Mika's relationship choices, I gotta say I don't really find the harem root appealing. I would prefer a definite endchoice, after all, whichever girl it is - although I'm partial and I want it bad to be Kudelia; while I have respect and admiration for Arta's kind soul, I can't seem to bring myself to cheer for Mika/Atra for some reason...


I'm not for the harem route either, but I keep seeing everyone hyped about it. I think I just view Atra as a kid so I super don't ship her. I wouldn't mind Kudelia, but I think I'd prefer neither of them to the harem route. :x

The reason they're called the Turbines is because they literally all Turbines (Naze's family name).

I laughed out loud when mika just immediately knew it was mcgillis, especially since mcgillis just sort of rolled with it and didnt bother hiding it. Though i worry that mcgillis might be using poor old gallio and ein since it doesnt seem like either of them know mcgillis is in the mask and that he was off on his own, i really dont want him to do to galliol what char did to garma cause unlike garma who was spoiled and self centered gallio actually seems to agree with mcgillis' wishes to reform the corruption in ghallajorn and seems pretty bro tier in general to mcgillis, ein, and his subordinates.

anyhow solid episode, look foreword to the next alot. Also this needs 50 episodes cause they will not be able to wrap all this up in just 7 more.

Chocolate Aznable was way too obvious the moment he appeared and McGill disappeared from the show. Though given how little interaction they'd had with one another I'm surprised Mika was as observant as he was, and so nonchalant in pointing him out to his crew. You'd figure he'd be on edge to do something like that.

The harem is only just starting and we've only got 7 episodes left? This better have a season 2, because I don't see the plot progression nor the character development to be fast enough to accommodate a conclusion to this series in under 2 and a half hours of broadcast time, not with the speed we are going at.

Lafter's development worries me a bit though. I get the feeling that she might cause some misunderstandings between Naze and Tekkadan with her weird gloom/thirst(?). If that's what ends up leading to the downfall of Tekkadan, then that would be one of the weirdest tragedies ever.

Mika is keeping it too real, noticing Chocolate Man immediately.

I think Chocolate's mask is actually pretty nifty, but I wish he'd gotten a different wig. The one he has now is ridiculous.

Can't wait for Chocolate man to suit up in Grimgerde and help out the crew! It is such a badass suit.

Poor Kudelia. Just let it all out, crying will make you feel better plus you get a hug from Mikazuki

O.o lafter x akihiro?

I've been thinking this since they started practicing together. If Lafter wasn't part of Naze's harem then I'd ship them so bad. XD


Glad to know I wasn't the only one. Yes, since the first time they started dueling... Something clicked on my head. Then there was their training, and she (in particular) caring about Akihiro's brother ordeal... And now this latest hint. He's just a little TOO much on her mind. Which I like, since again, I think they make a great match.

Hey, whoever said a girl can't have a harem for herself as well? :3

But yeah. There's the thing with Naze. This could end up tricky... I really like Naze, after all. But I also like Lafter. And I also think she'd be a good match for Akihiro... Damn. Or, of course, it could just be that she sees Akihiro as nothing but sorta like a little brother to look after. I'm confused lol

Anyway. Who knew those two characters were the same? There was the same voice deal though. But it didn't really occur to me lol

Looks like the masked man was chocolates guy. It's funny how everyone was just like "Oh, let's show masked man around and see if we can find out who he is. Then this little dude looks at him and spots him out in one second. HA!!

Also, that crying scene. I was sure they were going to kiss if little me clementine wasn't there. SO CLOSE!!!!(yes, they arleady kissed once)

Lastly, two issues:


#1
Was the amazon always THAT big? Dem mellons and DEM HIPS!!!!!!!!

I'm seeing it happen(or more like I'm kinda hoping for it as an added bonus to what's already an excellent show).

Naze's cool & all but hey, his vast harem might be a bit too much even for him. His main waifu Amida seems to be getting most of his attention anyway and Lafter's the type that demands it a lot as well. If she has a kid with him already though, I'm not counting on it happening.

Instead of going on like no one died, I'm really glad they showed those last few shots at the end of the crew grieving for Fumitan.

It was a really touching scene when Mika and Atra consoled and reminded Kudelia that she's not alone after losing Funitan. Seems like reality has really hit her after seeing the massacre and Fumitan die right in front of her eyes. She's getting some nice development.

Saw this week's episode and last week's in a mini-marathon, which as usual was pretty satisfying- nitty gritty action and complex politics in one hour-long moviefest.
But for the sake of disscussion, I'll try to limit my thoughts to this episode- save for the fact that THE NEW SUITS ARE AWESOME!!! So loving Gusion Rebake and Ryuusei-GO (took some renaming from 5Ds, eh? Yusei-Go XD).

Kudelia's speech was pretty good- not too long, but sharp and to the point. All of humankind is now aware of the darkness within Gjallahorn, which will make it easier for Chocolate Guy and Gali Gali (lol) to make their respective movements towards reformation.
And yes, I mean movementS. It's pretty clear that Gaelio has no idea of what his old friend is doing behind the mask, and I'm expecting a nasty clash between them when push comes to shove.

Speaking of Gaelio, Ein. That guy has some serious Graham Aker vibes on him, or maybe something closer to Soma Pieres. When Gaelio does eventually get harmed in battle, or when the timeskip occurs (I'm assuming) at the end of season 1, he's going to undergo some sort of change- whether it's to get the AV system or to become a *Master Pilot!*, he won't be idle for much longer.

Why is it that every single one of these high-ranked politicians and gang leaders is either a strange old woman or a pervy old man? Somebody in character development is enjoying themselves too much with that, I swear.

And last but not least, SHIPS. Oh boy, the ships. MikaXKudelia and MikaXAtra have combined into an OT3! Everyone, SET SAIL!!!
Then LafterXAkihiro. That is one ship I am really hoping will set sail. I mean, "Darling" has clearly not been showing her enough love, and their interactions are just SO CUTE!!
But even they don't have anything on Shino and Yamagi- they're both fairly minor characters, but it's been clear that Yamagi has something for Shino since episode 5!! One day, he'd better confess, or else DEATHFLAGS.
Eagerly awaiting a chance to watch the next episode. It looks like Gali Gali's back again, and we'll finally see Kabuki Lady and Chocolate Mask in action!

EDIT- (Forgot about this at first, but I just realized:
1- Mika spotted Chocolate behind the Mask immediately- nose of steel, that one.
2- The first thing ChocoMask said upon his reveal was "How are your twin sisters?" LOLICON CONFIRMED- GET THIS GUY AWAY FROM ATRA)

Relena was spoiled and an annoying character. They can be clones only if you are talking about the hair color. So far Kudelia is impressing me with her attitude

And about the 'new' couple Akihito xLafter i don't know yet if i'll ship them. So far they didn't have any love scene that could make me cheer for them. I think she is a nice match for Naze but maybe she is upset that he didn't give her much attention

Kudelia maturing, her speech & plan suddenly more amazing than Orga in Mika's eyes.
Choco man busted, even before opening his eyepatch to Mika. I suspect Mika's olfactory sense is sharp, as he talked about smells left on mechs.
I see it too, Lafter thinks about Akihiro.
What a warm & fuzzy triangle Mika. With Fumitan's memory, end leads perfectly to the ED song.

I nearly burst out laughing when Mika identified "Chocolate Man" so casually. That was great, and it didn't faze McGillis at all. I'm glad that's more out in the open.

I really liked the development with Mikazuki this episode, particularly his recognition that there are things that Kudelia can do that even Orga can't, along with his pledge to help her. This is one of the first times we've seen him act independently from Orga, so I'm thinking we'll see some character growth.

The crying scene at the end was fairly nice since Kudelia definitely needed an outlet.

This really needs a second season. Even if they could somehow wrap it up this season without doing something wonky, it feels like there would be so much wasted potential.
