New character, little kid named Yango. And the albinos are plotting something.
Not much of the main characters in this one, save Nakiami, but it was needed to move the plot on. Next ep's gonna be better.

Yeah, definitely thought that selling the Beat Kayak was way over the top. That thing is like Nakiami's symbol, it represents her free spirit, or at least, one that yearns to be free.

I have I feeling that we probably haven't seen the last of it.

I'm hoping to learn more about those soul harvesters and white haired kids soon. There are definitely some big plot devices that have yet to be revealed.

I also couldn't get over Nakiami selling her Kayak, I hope she's able to get it back somehow. I don't know what to make of this Yango kid either. It was only an okay episode for me.

When the end credits rolled I was like, "wait... that's it?" Somewhat boring episode, but felt like it was only 5 minutes long.

Wait, is Haru the guy with a mole's sex slave now? Because that's the implication I felt listening to what the Blond said.

Still don't understand those characters... But still a good background episode, despite the increasingly slow pace of the series (I mean, when was the last time that something really meaningful happened?).

So far don't like Nakiami much, to me she seems like she doesn't want to get too close to the people she is caring for. Still rooting for Haru, but her face hit a door. Kinda boring ep epecially seeing Akiyuki like that lol.

So yet another Xam'd is introduced, not too much of Akiyuki this episode, mainly Nakiami.

Akiyuki's amnesia really does play up to the title. Hehe.

New OP and ED? Well, I didn't see any, yet. Is it from episode 15 onward?
Edit: I guess I am watching the ONA version, that is why there is no 2nd op.

Well, this episode was somehow boring yes. But I really wanna know what would happen to Akiyuki with his current stat.

I like the new OP and ED. I'm guessing these are only on the THORA version I'm watching?

Nothing interesting happened this episode. Oh well.

Mmm, the new OP doesn't match up to the first one (that first one I know off by heart now, talk about awesome OPs eh?). I agree with the others that trading the Kayak was totally uncalled for. Also, in the new OP don't they show Nakiami and Akiyuki on it? Perhaps it's going to return in the near future o.o

What the heck is happening with Haru? I really hope she isn't being turned into some sort of a sex slave >_<

She traded her Kayak for an apple... well that's one way to stay out of trouble. The episode was rather informative seining everyone on their own path! Lets see what there destination will be!

Nakiami made a new traveling companion...at the cost of her Kayak.

Pretty bad episode, I don't know what's up with bones dropping the ball in every original series, after the halfway point.

Oh well, perhaps it will improve.

The new brat is so annoying. Can't see myself warming up to him, especially seeing how Nakiami even lost her cherished kayak because of him.
What that adjutant woman said, literally "have the commander turn you into an adult woman in his warmth", is disturbing af.

This episode was first one where the english dub was ass. Straight cheeks all the way through. It's gonna be a struggle getting through the dub if the rest of it is gonna sound like this.

I just finished a slave arc in Vinland Saga and now another started a brand new slave arc for me to watch. Whatta show! 

It was hard for me to focus with how bad the voice acting was, but if people from Tessik are known for being suicide bombers, I can kind of understand why they get treated that way. Whatever grand plan the people of Tessik are working on doesn't take away from all the people killed in explosions. Those people from Tessik are pretty unsympathetic.

That said, bigotry is never the answer.

New Ed definitely is worse than the old one. The new Op is about the same as the old one.
