THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Since this series is apparently aiming at being a pure action series, this is the way to do it. Very little speaking (I regret the short interlude with the intelligence officer), nearly all movement, thinking on the go, the protagonist having to react to quickly changing circumstances, and not that much actual violence.

I also like the premise introducing a persistent physical problem; the "leaning tower" made gravity a constant foe for Mellowlink and his enemy.

After three functional but not that interesting episodes, I hope this represents the series hitting its stride rather than a one-off fluke.

This episode puts the viewer straight into the action as soon as it starts. Considering the steep angles that they were ascending and descending, there's no way someone in real life could've held on without dropping to their death.

Carradine saved Mellowlink's life in this episode.

The environment in this episode, with the leaning tower or what looked more like an old war craft, was phenomenal. Not much talking added to such a great atmosphere.

The leaning tower title was pretty appropriate even if I'm not sure it would be possible to walk up something with such an incline.

Also not very relevant to the whole plot but the fact no one ever bothered to recover the seemingly still intact mechs and planes still in that wreck shows how large scale the war was that this was not considered important.

Oh that was cool change. This time target was after mellowlink. And I like team up but I don't that gambling excuse. Apparently, narrator has something to do with Mellowlink unit as well, always contacting targets beforehand. Golfy said it's another Death watching over Mellowlink.

Also funny how Mellowlink always finds a space to manipulate his two meters long AT gun even in tight air vents. Also Golfy had what looked like CZ type 61 scorpion, nice.
