That's some unexpected ending there...
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Woah, some serious business happening. Sad to see the doberman guys dying, they were really cool, but I guess it was time that the good guys started getting killed off. Well, in the end they accomplished their mission.

Isnt it about time team rabbits got their ultimate upgraded mechs? Seems around this time in a Gundam type show, the pilots always get the fully upgraded mechs. Well, they are gonna need something special to beat the rest of those commanders.

Kinda sad, all the death flags given to them from previous episodes, and they survived them but not this time...

Feeling real sad for Patrick I hoped for him to survive. He got the worse death too. He screams the name of the girl he loves and dies. I wonder why he didn't atleast stop and tried to fight/defend himself instead he left himself get cut in-half was he being narrow-minded and didn't know there was an enemy right behind him?

So from what I have noticed, i am going to guess the yellow military commander will probably fight Asagi since she uses two swords in the end or something.

Izuru is definitely going to fight Jiart.

Then there is the stealth guy, the general who orders the military commander, the king?(if he fights)

Maybe the enemy wulgaru will just die in the next episodes and end with Izuru fighting Jiart at the end.

I don't know how to feel about this episode. I liked Team Doberman, but the death flags were OVER THE TOP obvious in this episode. The you're gonna die was too blatant to overcome. So when they did die I didn't feel anything. I wanted to feel for Patrick's death at least. Couldn't... We all knew how Randy was gonna go out. So they left Rakesh alive.

I know the show isn't trying to hide it's cliche ripping off of Gundam, but I was getting into this show. Then they drop this 'meh' episode. I was really hoping that Ange's split personality would of been the cause of someone's death.

*So this episode confirms Ange's a guy..... right???*

Kind if agree with on this. I mean it's still sad that they died, but they weren't really characters that I cared about to begin with, though they were a funny team. Patrick's death was probably the worst out of the two, since he had been so excited to confess to Tamaki but never got to.

Ange was pretty funny in this episode though.

I thought that Chandra was going to die since he was talking about getting married after the war(death flag) but I wasn't expecting Patrick to get owned like that, makes me sad I would have liked him to survive but now that he is dead I hope that he stays dead and there is no bullshit way for him to come back. It must have been painful to be in love with someone like Tamaki.

I had thought that Chandra had just as big a death flag raised as the others, but he survived. Also ominous medical news appears to be on its way for team rabbit based on the doctor's reactions during the checkups and some of the preview visuals.

Really awesome ep!

I'm gonna miss Randy T^T...RIP. He died like a BOSS!

And damn Patrick's death was O_O...talk about giving the person hope then boom cut in half and dead!

But well the death flags were rising like crazy this episode so it was pretty much expected.

This series has really leveled up quite a lot from when it started. I'm looking forward to nxt ep :)

Still wondering what the problem with Izuru's check ups are??

I knew shit is gonna go down as soon as they started raising death flags with every second sentence while they were watching that porn video. Ah well, at least one of them survived. Or so we are shown, maybe Patrick is alive too. That Wulguru woman was spouting crap how it isn't beautiful to fight dirty but she sure sliced that mecha from behind... maybe she didn't kill him?

Anyway, I like Majestic Prince cuz' it's one of the shows that I could watch without worrying, so hopefully it won't change from this. I hope none of main five dies...

My GOD the amount of death-flags this episode was INSANE! Think it would've made more of an impact if they just approached the mission like normal not leaving a trail of deathflags on the way out. . .

Still liked the episode. Goddamnit another week till next...

I kind of do... I don't know, I just like unexpected deaths from characters that grows on you. Just don't kill off the sniper this time, as it's already been done twice in other shows.

First of all let me say this I knew they were going to die from the first episode they showed them but its still sad to see it.

I cant believe that just happened when I saw that I was like WHAT I knew that they were going to die but at that part I was I guess I was wrong and BAM that happens I just wished tamaki knew how he felt...And randy OMG that was epic... so far this is one of my fav I still don't know if it beats the 1st episode for me but definitely on my top 3 list of fav ep.

Wow...last week we finally had our first named character deaths on the villains' side, and this week, Team Doberman got wiped out. What is this show doing, making up for lost time? It almost feels as if they're pushing all of seriousness of the show into the last few episodes that was lacking the whole rest of the series. However, who am I to complain?

Anyway, this week saw Team Doberman fall as they were sent out on a secret mission in order to find the trans-dimensional gateway that the Wulgaru use to get around. However, they are quickly engaged by Gold Leader and her forces. Also at the same time, Izuru seems to be more subdued recently for some unknown reason and I think it's confirmed that Ange's aggressive personality at least, is pretty much male.

I wish I could say that Randy and Patrick's deaths were epic, but unfortunately they were really pretty anticlimactic. Team Doberman has been raising death flags here and there this entire series since they were introduced, however, they've always somehow survived via plot contrivance. However, this episode alone dumped so many flags on them, even the plot armor couldn't keep up under the strain! :p

I cringed so much during this episode as they continued to mention loved ones they were going to confess to or marry when the war was over, as they began to plan for the future, as they talked about all the stuff they were going to do when their mission was over, and all I could say to myself was, "Just shoot them now and be done with it!"
So, sadly, when they actually did bite the dust, I actually kind of breathed a sigh of relief since I had been anticipating and expecting it to happen all episode. I'm actually really surprised that Chandra made it since he started the "death flag chain reaction" with his mention of his fiancee. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he dies in a later battle avenging his comrades, or if he dies at the end there off screen.

Other than that, I wonder what's up with Izuru and if they well ever begin to go into his past. We're nearing the last few episodes ad I'm wondering how this will all end? How does a supposed MJP experiment, know the princess of an alien nation? What is Simon's endgame? What is Theoria's purpose in all this?

Anyway, newest ED was really good and probably my favorite of the 4 shown thus far. I give this episode a 7.85/10.

No I'm done. So done. Not Randy. He was my favourite character, I... No. I was hoping maybe the over the top death flags would end up being a joke, like the last time they death-flagged. But no. I'm just gonna go lie down and die now.

R.I.P. Patrick Hoyle & Randy Maxwell. May your sacrifice not be in vain.

Seriously though, they were really bringing out all the death flags for team Doberman this episode. There was Patrick's "I want to tell you something after the mission" to Tamaki, Randy's promise to Izuru, and Chandra's "I have a fiancee back on Earth" schtick. At first I was just thinking please not another of those episodes where team Doberman keep waving all these death flags and surviving, but when they first encountered the enemy and Randy volunteered to hold them off for the others, I was already fearing for the worse. And my fears were confirmed with Patrick's cruel death in his moment of hope, followed by Randy's manly last charge to buy more time for Chandra.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

True, but the scriptwriter did several things to throw us off: 1) Death flags were set for Team Doberman before which turned to nothing 2) Even if we take the death flags seriously this time, who would you think will die? I doubt many would guess not all die but Chandra survives.

this was the absolute worst ep of this series... -_-
jeezus friggin h christ! here is a question for ya, what killed team doberman?

a) the enemy
b) going on a one way suicide mission that should have been done by a unmanned probe (just to find the damn gate that was somewhere around jupiter which is oddly enough somewhere past neptune in this totally ass backwards solar system)
c) going in without backup/support of any kind (wtf, the main ship got to them in just a few min just to have black 6 grab the lone survivor?)
d) the mountain of death flags coming down on top of their heads like some kind of death flag avalanche/landslide
e) the fact that no one has died yet in this gundam ripoff and well...


yeah, this ep was beyond retarded.

The death of Doberman Team was really unexpected for me. I didn't expect this anime to get so serious. But then I enjoyed the episode nonetheless.

This anime has good actions and animations although they reuse some frames.

Sad that still can't figure out whether Ange is a dude or a chick .... even if they watched "the video" together LOL! Ange's expression/reaction was totally uncalled for.
