Don't trust ditzy, pink-haired Anime girls with heterochromia. She eating that Tur-Gon steak and enjoying it a little too much, if you ask me. Choke on it, beeeyatch! |

If it doesn't matter then how they can even expect the people to take other things seriously?Also seeing people nitpick about something that doesn't even matter is funny. Why are you even answering, i didn't even talk about you. But looking at your comment, you might as well drop the anime if you're gonna nitpick every single thing about space and its workings, it's not gonna get any better with your mindset. Also it doesn't seem like you will be convinced otherwise at this point so i won't look back to an answer. |

| Mhmm this food looked soo taste Their cooperation was awesome Then it's Ulgar? I was all time suspecting Yunhua.It's kinda suprising,but Ulgar behavior was kinda weird too... |
| I need more Yunhua in my life! I must find why her mother is such a bitch and protect her T_T I do feel really bad for her she tried to actually come out of her shell and do something but paid the price for it. Side note: The thing with her drowning was very interesting. I am not too well informed when it comes to liquid in space but if thats true and you can drown when there's no gravity...thats freaking terrifying. I feel like none of them took the communicator out. The show while serious at times I dont feel like it's supposed to be this serious. There's a lot going on in this series and I am okay with it. Ulgar has a gun now lol. Wow. Funi is the killer...If I had to guess. Always suspect the least suspected. |

You son of a .. turtle  |
| Still has the same problems as the first episode(s), every scene and line of dialogue being so flat and dereft of personality, resulting in no tension or excitement even in a tense climactic situation. Plot can potentially still be interesting. |
| Loved the shit out of this episode, twist after twist. Color me surprised when they called out Aries having heterochromia, never noticed. This show is fun shit, we dont get an anime about survival very often. |
  |
| Way better than the previous episode. |
 |
| This episode was so much better than the second one. |

Hylianticipated said: Sooo...why exactly do they need artificial gravity in order to stop the ship from falling? I don't think they really explained that. I think they're implying that the ship has an anti-gravity drive - generates gravitational fields inside the ship, uses the ships own mass for propulsion outside of the ship. James Blish had anti-gravity drives as a major part of his Cities in Flight novels (the more mass you have, the faster the ship can go). It's probably using the anti-gravity drive for intra-system flight, due to the smaller mass of the ship, and then another drive for inter-system drive. |
 |
| More mysteries on top of the unsolved ones also some hints about the reason they r in the situation. Looks like it might be planned and not a co incidence after all.I still wonder who cut the communicator and wow Ulgar has a gun for some reason, I really wonder why thou. |

| so like more and more mysteries are piling up |
 |
| DAMN, Things escalated quickly all over the place on both a physical and emotional level, I love it. This was a good episode, brought up quite a lot of questions. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| A suprisingly good episode after the mediocrity of Episode 1, and the awfulness of Episode 2. |
| - |
| Ok, so Yunha or whatever is at the top of my suspicion list cause not ONLY does she always apologize for seemingly no reason, hinting that she's sorry for something no one knows about. But during the gravity escapade she was the only one who did not put her helmet on (Possibly due to a lack of self-preservation?) and also was unable to get Luca's bag. She just seems way too suspicious to not be involved at all. |

Shotttooo00_0000 said: I feel like all the characters have something in common, right now the characters we kind of got to know all have parent issues, Kanata didn't continue athletics as his father wanted, Quitterie's parents simply didn't care for her, Funicia is an orphan which means some parent issue(dead or left alone), Ulgar's father is the vice-principle and is ashamed of his son, Yun Hua's mother doesn't want her because to her she is useless. I assume the others would also have to do something with their parents, Aries mother looked fine though. I don't know, this is the only common thing among them I could find. Also their is one shot in the OP with all the parents of the students, I think, I haven't read manga. That is clearly Aries and Quitterie's mothers, who've we've already seen, in that group shot. Also that woman who appears to be Yunhua's mother. I think it's pretty save to assume those are the parents. Although there is only seven of them, so that's a bit odd. We're missing one. |
| Tension was building up in this episode like crazy! Very good episode! Ulgar is very suspicious he could have commited the crime. Not a good sign -_- |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Decent episode. The mystery really appeals to me :) So, talking about the possible traitor: - Kanata is 100% not the traitor because we've seen a lot from his point of view. - The sisters are also not, the tsundere is too afraid to do anything and the young one is just.. a child (kids can be evil but she just seems too pure lol). - Zack cares too much about everyone and he is the one doing the most work so i don't think it's him. He could have told Kanata about the cut communicator to make him feel less suspicious and gain the lider's trust but that's the only thing that points towards him. - Luca's that kind of guy that hasn't done anything suspicious but you also can't say why they are not. Could be him, but imo i don't think so. - I don't think it's Aries because we have seen her with her mother and everything was pretty normal (could've been an act from Aries' part or just a fake memory, but i doubt it.) Honestly it doesn't feel like this anime will go with the fake bitch route for her character. Now with the most suspicious, - Yunha is being made to be a target of suspicion for the viewers and it's too obvious, like, a lot. I was thinking it could've been her because she seems like a depressed person and not just shy.. so the suicide thing woudn't be too far fetched, but then the flashback with her mother(?) came and it just seems no one really loves her back home. She's trying to get everyone's 'approval' by trying to do things right and be well liked, but her past experiences with her mother may be pulling her back. - Ulgar is just the ultimate suspect right now and if he really is the one i will be beyond disappointed. He has a gun now but he found it on the spaceship by the looks of it. If their one theory where ship was there specifically for the traitor to use after, he could've known all along where the gun was, but i'm thinking he may have taken it to defend himself even if he didn't know at the time that there was a traitor. (or maybe he figured that out by himself in some other way?) We'll see... My bet right now is on Charce. The dude just looks too shady. I mean, he's too perfect: Is intelligent, calm, has studied about plants and knows how to cook, plus, he seems to enjoy/like the creatures they find in the planets a lot. A guy like him could know how to survive alone even if it weren't on earth. |

| Aries best girl...... Please don't let it be Aries, please don't let it be Aries, please don't let it be the girl with the retarded seagull laugh. I like her too much xD |
| So, I have a crazy speculation - Aries is an android. How else can you explain her photographic memory and the dumb faces she makes. Not least, her head ornaments remind me of the ones used to distinguish androids from humans in Dimension W. It doesn't make much sense to wear one of those. |

| I know it's a red herring but I'm really suspecting Yuahua here. But the setup is too obvious right? |

| The plot thickens. Feels like show tries to make us believe Ulgar to be the traitor, so it gotta be a red herring. I am still suspicious of Yunhua, tho bit less after this episode. Charce, Lucas and Aries are also possible traitors. Aries being a traitor would be interesting. |
| Much better than the disastrous second episode. Ulgar has a gun, huh. He is too suspicious. |

| My guess is that no one is a traitor, the silver haired guy was wrong about the communicator being "freshly" cut out. |

Nim0174 said: Anime-is-King said: My guess is that no one is a traitor, the silver haired guy was wrong about the communicator being "freshly" cut out. what a boring theory XD lolol, well i'm finding it hard to see any of them willing to do this, even the space Sasuke Uchiha with the gun. They got thrown into a situation and there trying to find someone to blame. :P |
| Experiencing this as someone who has read the manga already is pretty great, and for all the anime-only's who are enjoying this definitely read the manga afterwards, you won't regret it! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| That was close. Ulgar actually helped, but he's still suspicious, and he's located a gun, which nobody else on the ship knows about. Yun Hua is also quite suspicious, as we know far too little about her. |
 |
| That suspense was great! I was laughing when the random bird-like alien just suddenly appeared. As for the killer, I'm suspecting Yunhua or Ulgar, though there's a good chance they could be red herrings. Also, guns were abolished a century ago? Now I'm curious about the setting of this show. Best episode so far! |

| wew, over 3 episodes this show evolved from The Weeb Breakfast Club in Space to Made in Abyss in Space to Danganronpa in Space. I like how everyone here is theorizing who the potential traiter is, but the idea there's a traitor at all is mere speculation. While possible, no one glaringly fits the bill, and there are other potential explanations too. I look forward to expanding the backstory in why -- or if -- the students were planned for group elimination to begin with. So far there's no given reason why any of them are targets individually, let alone as a group. |

| Whoa .. it's getting more interesting. the mystery getting more exciting, loved it. So Ulgar a marksman then with his specialty in shooting. the mystery about that whole mass killing is getting more interesting, especially knowing 2 of the members are hated by their someone they know (Ulgar and Yunhua), moreover in the OP sequence there are foreshadowing of several people that related to every member of b-5, reminding me of BTOOM, i wonder if that is the case or... another plot twist... daymm can't wait to see next episode. |
| Well, it's becoming more and more of a surprise, even if we're in early episodes. Good! May seem a bit too late to make hypotesis as the anime already finished airing, and someone will for sure tell me how what I'm thinking now is wrong, but whatever, I'll still try. As the anime is still on early stage for me, everything is possible like, there could be someone else hidden from sight doing the things, there could be more than one traitor, there could be no traitors at all as well. One curious thing that I basically ignored at the start was Luca's name. As an italian I should've noticed it sooner. Luca is a pretty common name, and Esposito is one of the most stereotypical last names ever too. Not only that, but the first thing I can thing with "Esposito family" is mafia, lol. That said, there is a possibility then. What if this "mission" is just some way to get rid of unwanted children for families? A lot of the rest of the team qualifies. The son of a big-corporation guy in Ulgar, the vice president of the society that funded the "mission", another possible gang related family, so, he could very possibly be an unwanted child. Funicia is a daughter of a rich family, and her family never cared for her, then suddenly wanted another daughter, one may thing it could be the mother wanting to redeem herself as a parent (but then why don't do it with your own daughter then), but it's clear, since the "talk" before Funicia got adopted, and the fact that both got sent to this program where everyone shouldn't be related at all to the others, yet both sisters got in...suspicious, what about they want to get rid of both? After all the adopted sister was from a family of the same lineage too. Then we have Aries, who at the start of the anime looked immediately as the weird one in her family, there is a chance they want to get rid of her as well too. Astra is a candidate as well, as his father wanted him to fullfill his dream, but he went after his teacher, and even after his teacher died (his father could be involved), he still didn't turn to him completely. Even here there is a "reason" for his father to want to get rid of his "useless son". About the others the anime still didn't give enough elements yet. A thing I thought is that Zack and Yunhua know each other, that is another oddity. Also they look almost like they're adults among kids or something. What if they're infiltrated? Or maybe they are survivors of a previous mission (there could be B1, B2, B3 and B4 missions before B5)? This whole situation is a lot Hansel and Gretel like, lol. Abandoned children by their parents finding a home made of sweets (the spaceship), and then there's the bad witch (the mysterious thing that teleported them in space), and they have to fight to survive and get home. It could also go for a Danganronpa-like plot where the aim is to make everyone suspect everyone, and getting everyone killing each other. My last hypotesis could also call for another battle-royale like plot where it's revealed later that someone already survived the thing once and came back to it. I'll see. I want to see how wrong I am, so I'll keep watching. If someone from Italy hears someone screaming "I KNEW IT" from outside, that will be me. P.S. Almost forgot that: In ep 1, when Zack made the path to get back home, all the 20-days steps reached the following planet, and the map blinked as the planet got circled after being reached by the line...except for the last one. No beep. No line reaching. Only planet circled. I still suspect that the last step is too long to make it in 20 days. |

| bruh |
| Nice episode, looks like we've got a lot to be suspicious of Ulgar about! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Looks like the suspiscion is particularly placed on Ulgar looking at the last scene, but I don't think he is the traitor So far Yunhua is pretty useless and Quitterie is pretty hysterical losing her mind over every thing that happens.... |
 |
| yeah that flying thing kind of felt like a contrived way of showing, "hey this guy can shoot", but whatever. kind of figured in the beginning that it looked like a gun case. so the traitor has no regard for their own life? well that girl certainly seems pretty melancholic. but that also seems too obvious. maybe it's the hand puppet lol |
