Mechas, mechas everywhere...

This series has vastly improved since the first episode. Time to bump the score.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

The white Walguru and Red 5............Something about that seems so familiar.

Best episode definitely. That was some hard core action all the way and considering the characters aren't exactly shining with their presence, an episode where we get constant action and fighting seems even more enjoyable.

Glad I didn't drop this. This episode was the best so far and why does the prince look so surprised when he saw MC? Maybe he didn't expect him to be human as well? I found it strange he we withdrew from the fight just from that.

In before MC is actually their childhood friend.

That commander is so incompetent I was rooting for the girl to shoot him and take charge of the operation for the good of everybody involved.


Ha it seems am not the only one thinking and wishing for her to pull out a gun and shoot his brains out.

Yeah it seems none of the two expected the other to look the same. Kind of logical actually since they believe the other to be a different species from a different planet and the possibility of evolution creating he same exact creatures is quite strange to say the least.

Best episode so far. Seems like this anime shines in mecha action and a cool OST, the rest is average although i do admit the story is getting a bit interesting.

Hell yeah that was some top notch battling and animation. And it seems everyone agrees that the commander needs to go.

Well the expected happen. The great big tactical, slow, battleship if you will got sunk by a commander relying so heavily on it. The early post about fighting the last war is spot on here, this reminds of a couple of the naval Battles from Exo Squad as it happens. I predict that the costs in terms of fleet operations may force the human alliance to spread its forces out and rely on the actions of smaller units.

I also have a feeling that either the white one fighting izuru will die at Izuru's hand, or the honor he has shown, will eventually lead him to turning against the Wulgaru, when it becomes clear humanity has just a dash more honor.

While the commander is incredibly incompetent, I can’t really fault him in this episode. When they made the defensive plan, it looks like they forgot that being on the defensive implies that the enemy has the initiative. The operation was run in a way where the defenders would be the ones who determined when the battle started, which is absurd. What would have happened if the enemy waited three more days to attack? Everyone was on edge and they would have quickly burned themselves out.

Sugoii mecha action!!

And it's now clear that the white haired girl might be a Wataru herself.

The team is starting to look like real fighters with the exception of Atagi who just charges in.

wow that was one purty battle. Also seems odd the alien dude stopped right after he saw the pilot. Being how their culture is thought he would kill him. I also have a feeling these "aliens" are just humans who separated from the other humans for religious reasons.

So much actions! Everyone have a roll to play! Except For the Cannon Fodders.... They stay the same but can't blame them.... Their Mechs looks outdated and slow as fk against High Speed Enemies. An Incompetent Commander only makes it worse for them as they are just sitting Ducks. Izuru and Asagi have good Fights, Suruga Mechs is ridiculously Equipped, Tamaki just Charge in Crazy like an Aestivalis. Kei did .... Something. The tension is something to talk about when lots of deaths Involved. I enjoy the fights cool episode.
Front Hooks...Oh yeah...

Spectacular episode, mainly because the battle here is so balanced with alternating advantageous and disadvantageous occurences for each side throughout. Combined with the evolving action with everyone joining in, it displayed the idea of controlled chaos in all the right ways.

Izuru is an excellent fighter in close combat, which is surprising. That he can equal this white-haired prince guy and his alien hypersonic dual-wielding mecha is no mean feat.
