THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Finally Kiefer appeared more in this episode. I think he is cool.

I like the scene that Kiefer and Rin rode on the ridebacks.

It is good to see that Kiefer's words made Romanof mad as I don't like Romanof's face. Somehow his face reminds me of a character in the Street Fighter game.

(Sad that need to retype this discussion after the recovery of the forum, but still glad that MAL is back)

Yeah, stinks that weeks of material was lost, but nothing we can do about that now. Had an interesting discussion going on about the dance of the RideBacks this episode.

I would fall in love with this Kiefer guy if I were Rin...
and all those splashes made it too shoujo.

With the nice discussions lost I just like to add that the RideBack Single is finally out. Amazing piece, but if you understand the lyrics you're a better man than I am.

Nice episode. Liked the Kiefer dude. I don't realy like the rideback raceing thing though.

The scene of them just RideBACKing around was.... so terribly uncomfortable I could hardly bare it. I looked away, blushed, laughed nervously and folded my arms.

SUCKED. I mean what was all the sparkling about? The slow mo? Close ups of their faces? Rin was basically like DUH OoO the whole time; she should have smiled before she landed and stopped.

Damn it Kiefer is hott. Okakura wasn't looking as fresh and spicy as he usually did.

Interesting epiosde. I liked how Rin and Kiefer rode on their Ride Back around. I'm looking forward to Okakura talks to Rin about Fuego Type-L.

Oh my. So Gundam 00 S2 won't be the only show with a mechaphile this season ? :D

Nice episode with some background development and well animated action. Kiefer pulling off a move, that's normally only possible with a fighter jet, was cool. ^^

The episode for me this week is just average. My adrenaline for this show steadily drops since the past two episodes. I'm not really sure what's missing. However, I'm sure that I will expect something big on the succeeding episodes.

Anyway, I like how they did the dance part. However, I still like the part of where she eluded all those goons back on episode four and the way she jumped on the first and second episode.

This was definitely a better episode, in comparison to the last one. The rideback and fighting scenes were great.
Still, the fact that this is only twelve episodes is a disappointment. The story definitely has that rushed feeling about it. I reckon if it were a 22/4/6 episode series it would be better.

I really hope they don't introduce any romance in this series. I like the way it's been going.

I knew the whole GGP taking over the world was stupid and this episode solidified it. So in this world, the US doesn't have Jets, Tanks,C4, Claymores, or any sort of Anti-vehicle weapons? I thought they would say that the GGP was a corrupt faction of the old government or something but this is ridiculous. Anyway it's going down the predictable route now.

Uhm... XD This was a good episode, and I thought the animation during the Rideback dancing scene was superb... But all in all I found that scene... extremely... awkward. XD

I really like Kiefer. But I mean, let's face it. There are no other guys in this series who exude a "bishie" aura, so Kiefer easily takes the cake. (Kenji exudes the "stupid but caring younger brother" aura to me. And Okakura. His eyes scare me.)

I was glad to see Romanov unhappy. I don't like him. :> I would cheer on the BMA but I don't know... Seems like neither the GGP nor the BMA are good guys.

I'm sure this is supposed to be hugely romantic, but it just pisses me off. whey the hell would she fall for the bastard that tried to murder her best friend and dozens of other innocent people? There's no reason to make a mass murderer like him out to be a hero. Hopefully the two of them will kill each other and make the world a happier place :/

If I wasn't already convinced Rin was head-over-heels in love with Fuego, I'd think Kiefer and her had some serious sparks flying.

I mean, all those shoujo sparkles...

I was really excited after the last episode to see how her reverse kidnapping would go.

It was very anticlimactic at the start of 8
The terrorists are all just going to die? Seems really poorly thought out.

The animation was nicely done.....the meaning of the water droplets is open to interpretation depending on your view of symbolism. Rin is still flapping in the breeze so everything is okay!

Pretty good episode. I have to admit though, I liked the first few episodes best before the story changed to all the GGP military intrigue stuff. I was hoping this would just be a story about Rin in the rideback club at her school.

Rin probably admires Kiefer's backride moves. Is this a budding love?! lol >.>
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Kiefer is a sanctimonious, wretched little snake. Hope this arrogant buffoon gets buried six feet under at some point, even if it's unlikely, given how he's a character the creator is obviously playing favourites with.
