Wow, i love that flying transport^^ at first i thought it was stealth but the problem is it can still be detected by the enemy(Ryouko) so they end up having to avoid enemy firing =.= man, from firing bullets to missiles isn't a pleasant thing^^ I don't think Miiko knows what is going on after all these time as she has been with Mikuni for a while now. So now they even have the technology(jet pact) to fly, but i have to say the unusual flying weapons are deadly with their spinning cutting. In the end, i think no one on the good side die...even the pilot survives the exploding on the aircraft^^

Alright episode I suppose but the incredibly over the top infiltration scene was too long for its own good. This episode IMO seemed to be the transition from stagnant story to loads of progression in the next episode or two.

I liked it, it's good to see Kuniko in action again and to see Mikuni understanding things a bit more.

I haven't been DLing this series since I don't like it enough to... but if you want to stream it crunchyroll has it available and I believe that tokyotosho has it for DL from the same subber from crunchyroll.

I loved this episode. It just did so many little dramatic things right, like Miikuni learning the value of human life, Konoe being won over by Kuniko, Momo and Takehiko's banter in the jeep, and Momo saving Kuniko when her jetpack ran out of fuel. Not even Gonzo's subpar cgi could bring down this episode since it the rest of the art was so striking, with the sunset and everything. Which makes me think. Isn't Kuniko pretty close to Mikuni? I like this whole sun and moon metaphor for the two.

I love Momoko in the jeep and when her and Kuniko were on the spinny aircraft. I loved the action in this episode. All around this was one of the best so far, funny and lots of pew pew.

This episode was highly unrealistic imho. I mean, invasion with the big black stealth plane in the middle of the daylight, hiring trained pilot & buying the plane in the first place... I mean, when did they suddenly got all that money to pay that? Than Kuniko running on the the plane while in flight with no problem, etc...

The only thing that I really liked was showing relationship between Mikuni and Miiko. This episode was a good brainless action and nothing more or less, but it was fun in it's own way. I really hope that next one will be better.

Didn't Kuniko say a few episodes ago that Metal Age should start selling off graphite in order to pay for a war? I'm pretty sure that's how they got the money.

Ok this show gives a damn about realism, but this ep was very cool.

Kunikos Boomerang is made of pure win ;D

The killer drones were too much, in my opinion

Thas the way the story goes, there is no other character in this show who could be the boss of metal age.

let's just say Kuniko is an incredibly talented boomerang girl shall we.

anyway, action-packed episode, yes the Kuniko scenes were abit unbelievable but anyway, enjoy it to the fullest yeah. the animation is fantastic! love the flight battles. <3

LOL they need a better quality checker. Where did her mask gone?

"They are trying their best to survive."
"They are dead."

So Atlas can changed its own shape somehow?
And we haven't yet to learn the third party who is attacking Atlas again.

This show has dropped from a 5 to a 4.

Honestly, running on a flying plane and sitting on a missile is just too much. I already knew that this show wouldn't be one taking reality as an influence, after the tank-exploding boomerang, but this takes it too far.

Only watching this to finish it, no other reason.

and thus the battle begins! i'm suprised that atlas doesn't have a lot more fire power, but what was up with those badmintin birdie type planes? drones that just keep attacking, very good, but very scary, at least K.D. survived

very good episode, even better than episode 5 or 6.
thankfully it's not lame like ep 11 haha... but that's just my personal opinion.
from 18 on it's even better. thankfully, since it was like meh.

Wow they really over did it. I didn't like what i saw in this episode. Jumping from planes traveling in amazing speeds in to rockets and staff. Give me a break.
I understand that anime have no sense of reality and i could except all this if they had showed any clues that they were able to be so superhuman before, but it seemed like it came from nowhere. They had some abilities but not to this degree. That was over the top.

I call BS on running on a flying plane then attacking missiles with her boomerang...but then they bust out the jet packs so all's well. I have a soft spot for jet packs haha >:)

she's actually 18, so i've read.

yeah, it just got that much more stupid.
--------
how on earth was she able to run on top of a plane with winds going at least 80mph? really? that's so ridiculous it's nothing short of PIS.

new (and nice) ED pics, speaking of the song is growing on me now. i hope this signifies a new OP next ep, the current one sucks 100%.

Well it was a good episode, it's been long since we've seen some action.
KD is the MVP of this episode, so now they're inside ATLAS let's see what they'll find.
