Oh God Yui is in trouble as she runs but with a little help manage to own the son of a bitch.

And of course, that triggers some painful memories. This was a bloody episode not only physically but also emotionally as the aliens takes the fight to the military.

Yui's boyfriend Yuuya enters at the right time like a boss as well. Good episode and look @ that monstrosity at the end. It's like saying "time for dinner"

Showing of the students from first arc in the beginning.

It was one of the Betas who got in there. The two had to think of self protect. Wow, many Betascoming from the underground. Are they like more intelligent monsters? The guy died, though, from cannot handle many of them.

So she was the short hair girl from the first arc?? When she's in pinch, OnoD's character came to the rescue. lol @ Ohara-san(?)'s character.

Yui said why they are all heading there, they are going for the gun and thats what she wanted.

I hate when the people get eaten, I wanted to puke. Heart was pounding the whole episode. Of course, Yuuya comes right then to save her. Yui needs to go get her yellow suit and slaughter those damn BETA!

So they will be blowing up the gun next week?

Most intense and emotional episode yet. Legit teared upI dont like the Japanese doll but still too close for comfort, I would not have wanted to see her die especially after her tragic past. But poor Corporal Yamamoto, surely he could have survived, they didnt need to off him like that and in the most brutal of ways, thats the only thing I dont like about the deahts in this always so gruesome and you can hear the crunching and when he was like it hurts and started screaming, almost couldnt go through the scene. :( .

Why did they go through the chart of the different BETA Classes so fast and with dumb dialogue of stuff no one cares about. I would have liked it on screen more and more details, only thing I got was smaller the more intelligent? And have they ever answered where the BETA came from and what they want?

this whole hanger arc should end soon. they spent 5 episodes in russia already, i look forward to a more comprehensible plot line for the next episode. the rescue of yuuya, the private interaction with yuuya x yui, and the revealing that russians are doing the jamming and stealing of the type 99 was satisfying. another week of waiting, sigh.

Oh. This feels like a buildup episode of what's worse to come

I'm sorry for the kid that got eaten alive. At least Yui mercy killed him. I salute the guy for risking his life to save the Princess.

Those higher up soviets are just...the worst! I hope a swarm of beta ambush them and gets eaten alive.

Also, what happen to the other mechanics that where left behind? 15 minutes to save Yui and retrieve the weapon is far too long for a rescue mission. After that explosion, you should expect every beta in the vicinity to hear and go their. They should have hauled their asses out of there quicker.

My favorite episode so far. Nice to see Yui putting up a fight before she got cornered. Yuuya saving the day was predictable but nonetheless dramatic. I hope the rest of the series will continue to deliver like this episode did.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This was by far THE BEST BETA EPISODE of the whole series by far outboasting in sheer quality to the 2nd one. One of the best was the SFX of their faces and mouths along with drool. Very similar to ideologies of H.R. Giger whom is mentioned here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._R._Giger
of who he is. Brilliant person really in art.
He had the same ideas and so I wonder if the creator is another fan fic of his? Looks like it. That being said and again short on time I present my thoughts.

The first thinking is the following GIF,

It saved me in this episode from going insane over the BETAs many time. I will number them.

1st time was the sheer pleasure of seeing that piece of shit Tank Class ironically killed by an anti-Tank weapon! Oh the irony! AHHAHAHAHA! Brilliant. Simply smart! So well shown and choreographed. That blast and the blood splatter. That scene alone is gold in this series. Swiss Cheese BETA Tank Class anyone? YES!

2nd time was during Yamamoto’s sad death of being eaten by a Soldier class in the spoiler
that was plain sad and here I was wishing he would GTFO from the area since he outnumbered. Alas not he wanted to take the stand. WELL TOO BAD! There were too many. Sadly our dear Corporal in the spoiler
had his shared censored except for the disgusting puking masticating sounds of him being eaten by their teeth along with his arm falling down half eaten and not censored well. Yamamoto was dead before this episode even started and I knew it.

3rd time comes when Yui has her flashbacks and shoots them Soldier BETA class SHITS in the spoiler
along with Bridges coming to rescues her it was quite the wild ride among the many so far in the series. Loved the blood splatter and eye popping of the Soldier Class. I was smiling with pleasure there.

So that totally shows the 3 parts of using the GIF for my viewing pleasure and of those parts. Amazing, I find that stemming from the effect of this series. I also am starting to associate a lot of my Duke Nukem 3D games with this series. I am sure Duke would be able to carry that gun and a mini version and kill them BETAS! After all they ate our women.

About the Soldier Class, nice intro of them in the spoiler
these are like the version of foot soldiers with a nasty shape. 2 points to raise of rather nice value of them. First one being the following,

SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! THAT MOUTH! OMG! I don’t want my body in there being eaten! I want TO FUCK THEM UP! With bullets, bombs and big guns! Damn right! The 2nd one is of Yui in the spoiler
with the way that Soldier smiles and grinned his face creeped me out. TBH a lot of Tank Class parts and Soldier Class parts reminded me of certain setups from Aliens 2 the movie. So the creator might be a fan of that too? It is H.R. Giger inspired.

About the Russians, I am very saddened by Slavic brothers being like they are in the spoiler
but racism is a bitch and Russians don’t like Japanese so it sucks to see my brothers not doing a more cooperative way but yeah this part clearly shows the ploy is out. With those smiles, those commanders are nasty.

About Yui x Bridges, first of all I know Yui is very stupid in realizing romance but anyway FLAGs all around of her love. The best one is obvious the Yui holding hard Bridges’ hand in the spoiler
while he pulls out that shard. Add to that her blush and it’s quite obvious of the love there and Stella realizes it easily. You got to kind of love of romance in the middle of the Battlefield with BETAs concept. It had to be done somewhat.

About thee end, ALERT! CODE RED! TOWER LASER! In the spoiler
we got shit! Remember what they said about them….here let me remind you….only shit capable of killing a base in less than 60 seconds. Biggest Laser class and looks like the BETAs got pissed off about the cannon so they want to kill it. That much is obvious. Might edit later if I have time. Side noted.

BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler
random ones I did. No time for this series really.

The BETA actually give me the shivers when they eat something (or someone).
Plot's rolling around nicely with some blood and gore. Just the way I like it. Too bad for the corporal to die like that. This series is actually somewhat on par with FMP. I am surprised how well they did this. Giving the BETA some character as a blood thirsty monstrous fuck. Reminds me of the Xenomorphs from Aliens. And then the Flood from Halo also comes to mind. All of the gruesome fucked up monsters have one thing in common. They love to chomp on human flesh.

Very good episode, for sure hoping that Stella survives...course with Yuuya there he's probably gonna save the day again.

I just have that thought that they're gonna set off the Radiation gun and BOOM there goes the base and all the BETA get wiped out and Yuuya rescues Stella.

Good episode for sure.

The Gore-some scenes are scary as hell, but good to know Yuuya saved Yui on time, not that it's unexpected. I wouldn't care if Stella and the rest of Argos squad were eaten as time goes by as long as Yuuya and Yui remains alive throughout the series.

Yui should start prioritizing development of a high mobility TSF instead of a slow-reload-wipe-them all rain gun, I want Yuuya's TSF performing Freedom's Hi-Mat maneuver while slaughtering BETAs like a boss.

The BETAs are like the creations of the Reapers (Mass Effect) if they were in the same universe.

Man, I really want to be all condescending right now.

That is not her TSF. White Fang is her callsign. Her TSF is a Type-00F.

A normal assault riffle doesn't do much damage on a tank class BETA but Anti material riffle does some serious damage to them.
It was nice to see Yui use it to help out the engineer she even shot all of it's ammo.

The engineer should have continued his job then the gun might have been destroyed and he didn't draw the BETA's attention but we knew he was going to die at some point.
Yuuya coming in just at the right moment was also expected.
Seeing Yui so meek and ashamed that Yuuya came to help her was a nice sight tho.

But they still have some serious trouble heading there way now guess next episode is action packed as well.
This episode also showed the corruption of the general or whatever rank he was that supply base he said needed protection didn't appear to be the base where Yui was.
Could he be after something else then just the gun and if so then what?
