Woah. Never been here this early lol

What an episode! Kadode's adult life has only just started, and humanity has decided to shoot their new toy at a group of ships not hurting anyone, and have most likely started a war they can't possibly win, judging by that last message at the end... Rip all the little aliens :'(

I'm so excited to see where this goes from here, but I also feel like I'm not ready for what's coming

Great ending to the episode, time for things to get serious with the invaders
Also the introduction of two new cast members with Futaba and Makoto, what a way to enter Tokyo

With what the last 3 episodes have given us, feels like the story is well and truly getting under way now. Started off as a nice sweet graduation episode for the girls and the start of their college journey and ended with one of the biggest wtf moments of the season.

First of all, is no one gonna talk about Kadode and Watarase sensei relationship cause shit is so weird 😭 he’s been trying to fuck his student for like 2 years now. I’m glad she’s leaving him in the past seemingly.

Most girls in uni want to party or join clubs, Ontan wants to make an army lmao, she’s so slow.

Hard seeing pictures of Kiho with the girls knowing she didn’t make it to this day with them. They were all so inseparable and she didn’t even get to start life :/

speaking of Kiho though, her ex bf might seem unhinged and crazy, but he’s more sane and aware of what’s going on than anyone. The government and military truly have lost control of the situation, but who would’ve thought things would escalate the way they did at the end of the episode so quickly!

The invaders falling from the sky after being blasted by the new JDSF weapon was horrifying. The military and government have handled this whole situation so poorly. Killing innocent invaders, attacking the mothership and now this. This is definitely not going to end well.

What’s also interesting is that the blast seems to only affect alien tech? So the plane was totally fine after flying through it somehow? That’s .. interesting.

How crazy is it that we have two crossdressing Makoto’s on a Thursday lol.

Quite the last few minutes there with the aliens raining down there, striking image there and while the manga's felt a bit cooler of course, the anime's version was no slouch whatsoever and still looked solid. Given how the aggression has been one-sided from humanity's side here and how incompetent the government has looked with its front of handling a situation like this, it is asking for disaster to strike over there. Kadode, Ouran and the others have just graduated and Kadode moving to start her university life and shit is already turning chaotic as hell there as her adult life could be robbed under the circumstances taking place. Got to see some new characters too and with the ominous ending there, a lot seems to be happening with these next few episodes.

So... From least to most interesting
The invaders come, countdown to the end of the world, an amazing scene
Kiho's boyfriend talks like Kadode from ep 6 or is it just me?
Kadode focuses this episode on the theme of the old generation, she feels lost and asks for guidance from her teacher, not a very smart choice considering he is as much of a cynic as her, she leaves her mother behind, a mother which at least for me feels like she doesn't understand or really has the power to understand what Kadode feels, it's understandable considering her husband is probably dead and the insanity the world is in, the only adult who I feel like Kadode has a positive relationship is her stepfather, but it looks like she has a hard time accepting him
The anime captures Ontan masterfully, she's such an interesting character using a facade to hide her pain, everything she says sounds like nonsense but when you understand her character all the nonsense feels heartbreaking, I can't wait for the series to end so I can do an analysis on her
And lastly and most importantly... Futaba and Makoto appear! It is the biggest change in the story in my opinion, Futaba is the most important character for the political themes of the story, she is the character I feel will be the most controversial (yes, even more than the teacher) and she is masterfully written, and as the show walks down the political rabbit hole I hope discussions will be civilised and with no name calling or stuff like that. And Makoto... She's (I am pretty sure the story never uses pronouns to call her but I think there was a joke that confirms she identifies as a girl? It doesn't matter) just a lovable character, nothing else to say on her, a very fun character

@Marinate1016

What do you mean with, so poorly?

From what I saw in the first episodes, the invaders *never* contacted and we know they can provide us with a way to communicate.
Remember that ear piece?

And it was even a long time since they arrived and ignored all communications, that really shows they are not interested in even having a talk on why they came.

Would you just really let them do whatever they want on your planet? Remember, they are invading.

@Ton168 Are they though? We don't know their motivations at all. One big ship doesn't equal taking over the World. And at their puny size, it's not like they are a physical threat. Or to quote someone who said it much better " Would you really want to talk to a bunch of apes whose favorite past time is tribal warfare?".

@Marinate1016 An old 1980s Sci Fi TV mini series about aliens who arrive here in big ships. THey pretend to be friends, at first. But start acting like Nazis & coercing people into helping them steal water, resources & finally other people... as FOOD.

@Ton168 Why attack something which you have no idea about? That's how they'll get f-ed. The aliens haven't done anything real bad, even the contamination in Tokyo is because of the terrorist united states nuking the mothership above the civilian city.

@Marinate1016

Yes, but my question hasn't changed.

They never tried to communicate. They know the country already has life in it, the most decent and peaceful thing to do is to try to make contact and we know they can.

Also, how do they, the inhabitants of Earth, know they were seeking shelter? They could try to infiltrate, or something else we don't know.

I'm a bit surprised at this, so you are saying if a group of people invaded your house and didn't try to communicate, just go in your house and start to live there you would be fine, you would share your house with a stranger without questions?

Ever heard of, silent invasion? The long game, infiltrate a country silently, take over certain important spots while the inhabitants are clueless?

Yes I’m 10000 percent saying that if an alien civilization has the ability to travel across interstellar space and arrive at our planet, if they don’t shoot we should not shoot. Even if we do shoot, we’d lose. Your best bet is hoping they have some idea of morality or empathy because any civilisation that advanced would easily destroy humanity.

You’re comparing someone in my house, a HUMAN to a fucking alien floating above my house

I'll just say to all the ones talking about the reason for the invasion -first of all wait, it would be more explored in future episodes, and secondly rewatch earlier episodes, they have some foreshadowing if they haven't removed from the manga (I remember them not removing at least some of them but removing others)

I love how this isn't like the ailen movies like War of the Worlds. Instead of a immediate invasion, it's more like a slow burn that's completely humanity's fault. As the average civilian can't really do much, they watch as their government starts blasting all the ailens out of the sky, with some people knowing that sooner or later, they're gonna fight back - and it's not gonna be pretty.

@MasterHavik communication is one of the themes (I think there are some more important but it's certainly one of the big themes), and I hope they'll somehow adapt 2 chapters which explore it really interestingly, sadly I fear it would be difficult

@Mommyyyy I think that the magic of the story for me is the focus on civilians, most war stories are about the warriors, the entire manga has like 1 semi important character which is fighting and the focus is more on the people suffering and living with the war and dealing with the consequences which is more relatable, also I feel like the story actually does a very good job at not saying it's entirely humanity's fault, in the second Ontan marshmallow speech she calls out the invaders for doing nothing, just flying above tokyo and leading to destruction while we know they can communicate if they wanted, and again we see the random invaders suffering for that

The episode was great, I guess this is the moment where shit really hits the fan... hopefully, while I'm enjoying the Slice of Life aspect of this anime, I will enjoy it more if I see more dark stuff in it, I need some thriller out of this.

If there's one thing I didn't like about the episode is the trans propaganda bullshitery with the guy turning into a woman, I'm just fed up with that propaganda shit lately, but other than that, this anime is nice.

Graduation always gets me emotional and for the girls, they are missing one of their friends but they'll live like normal and happy as they promised. New characters are interesting, prolly gonna be part of the main cast from now on. Now that ending scene was very impactful and wait six months till end of humanity? What have they done, damn.
