| Why did Yura turn into Tomoko? Did you see those bags under her eyes? Good episode for once. I'll never understand the fantasy world scenes, though. |

Phaetons_Folly said: CNagy said: If Yura couldn't understand how the unit works together, then she would be worthless to the unit. And in the end, she couldn't. Yura is a loner. She was a loner in the past, and getting really good at airsoft didn't change that. Her skills are respected. She amazes people. But she is still a loner. She doesn't have concern for her teammates and she doesn't follow orders that she doesn't like. Rin's team lives on teamwork--that's how, despite all of the other members being less talented than Yura, they still got to the finals of the 24 hour tournament, including wiping out a team of marines. Yura is getting hate for all the right reasons. She is the hotdog pilot character who in other works is granted leeway because she is just that good, despite being reckless and disobeying orders from time to time. Realistically, such people end up washing out and the sentiment is "you've got a lot of talent, it's a shame you're such a screw-up." I can't disagree with you more. Yura is an ideal fighter and commander. She is aggressive without being reckless. Her most aggressive actions in this show have always been highly calculated; Yura considers her team, the enemy and their objective before taking action she feels is reasonable within those certain conditions. Yura never once disobeyed a direct order. If fact, she did everything she could to help her team win in spite of commands that make it difficult to do so. Yura has the spirit, tenacity and initiative that commanders desperately want in their NCOs and junior officers. However, Rin didn't want initiative, she wanted people who blindly follow orders. Rin is the only person who thinks on that team, and she is also very risk adverse. Rin's main goal is to limit casualties on her side instead of beating the enemy. Rin isn't the kind of person who is good at fighting from a losing position, because it usually requires sacrifice to turn the tide. I completely agree with Rin doing nothing to help her teammate, there really was nothing for her to do. In modern warfare, you don't immediately help the wounded on the battlefield. You first try to gain fire superiority so that it is safe to bring the wounded soldier to a safe location. I have met officers who held medics back from helping the wounded because the situation was such that the medic was far more likely to get wounded themselves than actually help the wounded. Now Yura's situation wasn't a battle, but there really wasn't anything she could have done. Yura doesn't have medical experience, what good would dropping everything for that girl do? There is no point trying to jump into the water to save a drowning person if you don't know how to swim. Pretty much this. Yura's development as a character is very appreciated in my opinion but it is true that I also find it to be misplaced in this show. The problem with this series is not so the content but rather the way they sold this show as something and then went opposite from that. As someone who's works is to produce multimedia product for a client, I can assure you that knowing your target audience is one of the key point to make a successful product. For someone like me, who had no expectation in the series to begin with, this development might come as a nice surprise. For someone who gasped the intended feeling the trailers and the source material gave off beforehand and came for that reason, this development just might an horrible addition for the show. This show is a marketing failure, there's no way to go around it but I do believe it has it's own merit. I enjoy C3-bu mainly because of Yura and I couldn't care less about the other undeveloped archetype surrounding her. C3-bu possesses the semi-seriousness that Bamboo blade and Saki have while offering interesting development about it's main character. I like how it offers fantasy scenes as a symbolism for Yura's mind. I like that she got strong with her own power and that she is focused to win. I like that she isn't perfect and do mistake, that she isn't seen either as a blessing or a curse. I like that she feels much more human than most show's characters lately. |

Marow said: Yura in the arcade was fantastic. This! That was brilliant! I will give a better rate just for that scene! Thanks to Yura this show got more interesting. |
 |
| ow the regret! Well a pretty good episode, lets see what's next! |
 |
| Well, I can't say I am perfectly fine with how everyone likes Yura again, I mean, she gave them hell. And Rento crying at club was too much I guess. But second part of this ep was good and her second meeting with Choujirou was something unexpected at this point of story (though I think he is only the symbol of her responsibility in a way). I liked how they stopped forcing themselves to bring Yura back, it would feel forced other way. I liked meeting Sonora and Rin, it's nice to see those pals together and it's good to know they were friends with each other all the time. And I really wonder what is her relation to her parents and what happened in her past to make her this selfish and reserved. |
| Interesting ending. Not much to say haven't liked this episode much so... |
 |
| Really liked the interaction between Rin and Sonora in this episode. If only there was more of it! :O So they're still friends after all eh ... that's good to see :') Everyone misses Yura ... even after all she's done?! Well it must be hard to lose a friend like that. Good on Rento for telling Yura off at the arcade ... she really does want to go back! Lol at everyone looking like the club members ... and well, I certainly didn't expect her to go to the shrine! Choujirou's back huh? Fitting ... and BAM! She's on the airsoft field again ... I guess next episode'll be a final showdown between her and Sonora?! |
| They really need to add supernatural genre here!! And a bit melodramatic genre... Oops there isn't genre like that Well at least Yura is back xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| 4/5 The inner struggle and continues throughout the narrative focuses on the figure of Yurako, but a bit of room for more there, not bad. There is a screech between what you see and what felt really impressive. A pity not to have given more episodes to give the possibility to evolve the story and to give space to the other players to make the plot more interesting. Let's see how the story ends. |
 |
| Jeez, loking at ura at the arcade was pitiful. Also I think she was playig House of the Dead. That's what it looked like to me. That reunion with Sonora and Rin wa nice. I guess Yura is back and is going to have a one on one with Sonora. I guess it going to have the predictable ending huh? |
| Quite an emotional farewell between Rin and Sonora. I really liked that scene. Choujirou is back! I'm glag Yura finally came back to her senses. |
