Haha, wut?

Anyway, I loved the dance scene, it looked so pretty and nicely animated. Now I have to wait for episodes from now on since I marathoned six.

No prob.

Anyway, this whole discussion with different posters about ethics and morals is only moderately of relevance to gargantia as of yet, since we didn't see many comparisons between the two civilisations (Ledo's and gargantia), though the few that were given, rather indicates the militaristic one of Ledo differs on some basic points with those of garagantia (and with our own in r/l). For instance: it has been implied that the 'weaker' get routed out. Weaker in the sense that they can't perform as good in fighting the Hidazau, I suspect. Could well be they think they're doing nothing unethical, however. If they view it necessary to survive, and they think survival is more important than caring for the weak, then it is like you have already hinted at: necessity which sets the moral standard.

Oh yeah we derailed like a motherfucker, I just thought it was an interesting conversation.

Loved Amy and the others' dancing. Ledo looks like he's up against a Hideauze now... or maybe it's just a squid?

I decided to watch this again because I heard some interesting things about what's to come, I didn't read into it so I really don't know what'll happen. The ending of this episode made me quite happy, looks like the main story is about to start.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

The fanservice feels insulting. The show seems to treat me like a 12 year old flashes boobs at the screen whenever it feels the show may be talking a bit too much for me.

Now I know this show isn't an Urobachi show, and I have mostly got rid of my expectations. But all that seems to be left now is a average fanservice show with some interesting theme's, eclipsed behind the massive amounts of blatant fanservice.

Amy in this episode is pretty much reduced to being a stripper, which says a lot about this view on female characters and I'm really not OK with this. The show also seems to be cramming in some forced romance between Amy and Ledo that has so far been very built up.
I feel the show is building up to something big with the Gargantians, but honestly I feel that I should be getting closer to the characters every episode, not wanting them to die more and more so that Ledo can get his serious face on.

I will keep watching in hope of something good happening, but this show is just dipping in quality tremendously due to the stupidly profound amounts of fanservice.

Even if it was brief, at least we saw Ledo smile a bit, trying to enjoy the food.

What's with the three young girls exotic dancing? Aren't they like 14 or 15?

However, that dance scene of Amy was pretty nice. With the lights and sounds.

And in the end, a Hideauze appeared! Yay, a battle!
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.

Episode 5 was fanservice. Not this episode, it's part of the story here, showing what Ledo is focusing on. Fanservice is by definition extraneous.

... Besides this series doesn't revolve around mecha battles, it uses it as a plot device of sorts.


That's exactly why I enjoy this anime so much. Too many mecha titles out there with endless space fighting with no plots, just fights. More than just a pure mecha, Gargantia is more about characterization, about assimilation into a complete new world, new culture, one of the most important skill to live in the society and social intermingle with people all around the world. Can't just sit around in the same place same house forever and not even learning any new things. It is, however, not comparable to other mecha titles, such as Evangelion, because the focus and purpose are vastly dissimilar. P.S. People tend to forget that Asura Cryin is also among the mecha series.

By the way, what the heck is that tiny Hideauze doing on Earth? Did it shrink due to the earthly conditions XD?

Another fanservice-ish episode? Even though it was just blatant fanservice, it felt acceptable here, especially that private dance for Ledo :D Cute scenes there :3

I had a feeling that the Hideauze somehow evolved from animals on Earth. That or genetical manipulation by someone. I guess Chamber's scanning was correct, because of the similar DNA or genes or whatever between the Hideauze and that whale-squid.
Btw, poor Ledo when he saw that squid on the plate :S

Well seems like the bad aliens have come to earth or maybe been there all along. Also seems like we got some more fan service. The bit with ledo being asked to work was pretty funny and the offer of butt was to. Ledo also got a boner for amy's dancing.

Was it just me or were they strippers and he got his own private dance.

Any way it goes this was some of the best animation.

Now that was some awesome use of animation and color. Even if you dislike the "fanservice" itself (Ledo-service in this case anyways), you should agree that the scene itself was nicely done. Even more so due to the music, which fit the dance perfectly.

And then the end, Hideauze. That thing does seem a bit weird for a more octopus, especially how it comes to them instead of swimming along or fleeing. And 99.97% probability..unless Hideauze are really just spacefaring octopuses, so the DNA etc. would match. If mankind left earth and forgot about it, who knows what else happend in the past..

You got some interesting theory there, I agree, there must be some kind of connection or something..

As for the episode, finally it is getting some action, of course I like to see luxurious fauna, art and that nice dance (though they seem too young to be doing such indecent thing), but I was getting bored.
The plot started with the fight going on, and Ledo escaping so, that is what I came to expect, action.

So I'm guessing cultures situated closest to the equator were not as severely affected by the ice age compared to other parts? That could explain the mixture of Arabian dance with what I initially perceived to be a Pacific Islander-esque culture.

More allusions to Zelda. Gerudo, anyone?


Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder kicks in!


Reminds me of Freedom where the protagonists are freaked by eating mollusc noodles.

I hope the ending has Ledo playing his flute ocarina thing while Amy dances to it.

And this was a sort of fanservice very well done. better then any beach episode.
