| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Finally, more flashbacks on Yukina. Not my favorite character in the show but she's fairly important so. By now, I think she probably realizes the dangers of what she's gotten herself into with Ouma. Sophie's still cold as ever as expected. Lol, this episode also had fan service...I think some of the girls likes Ouma's physique. His relationship with Yukina still feels a bit strange to me. Her relationship with family is turning a bit sour D: |
 |
| Now i feel like ordering some gyoza as well. In any case it seems that the death flag from last week was correct tho they might surface at one point, it's very doubtful they survived that explosion. And it seems Yukina has trouble excepting the reality. |
| Another great episode. Those flashbacks were short, but it definitely made me feel for Yukina. And a little bit of fanservice. God, I'd always take in P.A. Works fanservice <3. I honestly don't blame Yukina for being the way she is now. She was just a normal high school girl before things turned out the way they are now. It's pretty terrifying to put into a situation like that. And it seems like those boys haven't returned yet. Maybe they died in the blast after all? Although, I somehow have this feeling they will return.... That ending though.... ): D-Joe said: These girls liking Ken is pretty normal, especially when you compare him to harem show's beta MC. Now that you mention that, I agree. He isn't that type of character you see every day. I wouldn't even mind if they're hitting on him, lmao. |
  |
| Everything is actually not that simple when the "aliens" are able to communicate with the humans on earth. As we see now, all countries except japan are unable to defeat the invasion forces, which will later add more problems. Like what? the aliens can "cooperate" with humans to attack Japan, if Japan refuse to return the mukuro to the aliens. We don't even really know what the aliens actually looking for on earth. |
| Lol the pool scene, it was really funny. Nice man service and fan service. The episode had a dark atmosphere, and I really liked it. Very good episode. Inb4 Yukina's dad is one of the "knights-aliens". Dat cliffhanger ;-; YUKINAAAAA |

| I'm pretty sure, she is Ken's Princess |
  |
| What makes you say that? |
| I laughed when Kennosuke was getting advice from the teacher and they weren't on the same wavelength. It is respectable of Kennosuke for wanting to protect Yukina and not forcing her to pilot the mech with him (although you can say it's because it's a samurai's duty). Yukina is a good kid herself, part of the reason that she wouldn't want to go back to piloting is because after Kennosuke avenges the princess, he will kill himself. I quite liked the way the drama was handled in this episode, especially the silence in the scene between Yukina and her mother. All you could hear was the sounds they made while making the gyoza and the water dripping in the sink. It led up nicely to the climax of the episode, the slap. The bgm from that point onward was great as well. Aside from the drama, I love PA Work's style of SoL; the scene at the market, the argument between Yukina and Kennosuke ending with the popsicle stick fight, and the interaction between Kennosuke and Koharu when they got home. Lastly, the enemies are looking very...metal. Lol. They seem kind of maybe on the courteous side too, telling Japan to give back "Glongur," before attacking. But where did Yukina go? It's surprising that she would leave on her own without making breakfast for everyone, especially the little sister she dotes on. Kuromukuro is really rising up to my top favorites this season. |
| Slap, maybe what Yukina needed?! She is really avoiding the fact that she has to step up to the task even if she didn't want to. Ouma too needs to think straight, with Yukina now a part of her supposedly revenge. The aliens now targeting the artifact will be interesting even though we are seeing their battles every week lol. |
 |
| Little swimsuit fanservice was nice.. too bad Yukina and Sophie didn't have one. I have a bad feeling all the missing and kidnapped people will back-stab them in the end. I hope not though. So.. trying to act like a rebel now huh Yukina. |
| So there's also a "Demon" in Area 51 too, huh? I wonder. LOL Oh no, Yukina's girly morale beginning to strike, since it's the first time she saw a suicide. I wonder if this'll make battle much harder later. And for that "conflict" in Yukina's mind earlier, we're having a pool episode. Hopefully for ease her and some people's mind too of course. LOL Damn that emergency summon. If only Yukina and her mother have more longer mother-daughter than that one. |

| oooh melodrama... its downhill from here hahaha, tbh I couldn't care less about what happens next, I still find enjoyment from it though, if only a little. Fanservice is always nice. |
| Can we just appreciate that drama scene? That part gave me goosebumps. Felt sorry for Yukina's mom tho Damn these kind of shows should be binge watched I cant wait for the next ep |
| Those drama parts at home and school are so impressive. She's a true friend. |
I have a hunch:) hithummah said: PA works and fan service!! this is new to me not new for PA Works |

| Die already blonde bitch. Btw Yukina's mother actually acted like a mother should lol. |
So it finally gets to this part |
| Called it. After last episode's shenanigans, you knew Yukina would flake. Can't blame her either, she literally had a giant alien sword nearly deface her, not to mention she watched an alien-guy blow himself up and two of her classmates are missing because of her fight. Her relationship with her mother was only cordial at best, and now after that blow up, she's run off. Now its time for someone, anyone, to help sort her out. And was it just me, or did anyone else get the Aldonah vibe with the floating alien fortress? |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| To be honest, I was expecting more comments complaining about Yukina and how she should 'grow up' and get back into piloting the relic, but I'm glad there isn't any sort of those messages here at all so far. =) For Yukina, that close call from the fight last week gave her a big shock, now understanding how dangerous her role is, so she doesn't to be a part of it anymore. Considering how she had a bad childhood due to her father's reputation and not being too close to her mother, I can't fault her for feeling frustrated and angry. But sometimes fate puts you in a position that you can't simply run away and pretend that it's all a dream. I'm sure Ouma or someone or something will give her the push she needs to pilot the relic with Ouma again. The swimsuit scene was nicely done. Ouma became a big hypocrite though, saying that the ladies were wearing too little, while he was wearing a loincloth, which covers even less that the ladies' bikinis. XD Who knows what happened to the two students who recorded the fight. Maybe they died, or maybe they were captured? It's too early to make a definite call on this, so I hope they'll be some sort of a hint on the missing lads in future episodes about what happened to them. |
| Well yukina depicts the normal teenage girl... Still she has some daaddy and mommy issues.... So far Ouma is the favorite character of the show for me |
 |
| some solid drama this episode, you kinda forget that the MC's are still teenagers. I'm sure seeing someone blow themselves up affected Yukina and rights so. Hope to see this break the 7.00 rating soon. |
| This show has been surprisingly good. I am quite enjoying it. |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
| Leave it to gg to insert a meme into the subs. "Get in the robot" indeed. |
 |
| Oh, man. Sensei is looking good. |
| That was one of the strongest episodes of the season, let alone the show. PA Works knows how to do dialogue and body language really friggin' well. |
 |
| Swear to god, Yukina is seriously wearing me down. Honestly, I totally believe her character a lot more than most teen heroines who seem to immediately get that "I must save everyone" mode or the ones who are against it at first but are quickly turned into "I must save everyone" mode after a single episode... That said, having to watch her flop her way through every important relationship she has, cursing away her father, then our samurai by saying that incredibly hurtful thing about his princess, and then her mother by condemning her father in front of her despite really knowing nothing about him herself. It's kind of painful to watch. I do hope she gets her act together soon. |

collectivism over individualism?  |
| i'm gratefull those punks are dead! Her mother is just so incompetent and annoying! instead of pampering, she goes provoke her daughter? A teenager whose life was just slandering around and goof around all day in search of identitiy and meaning of life, suddenly dragged to a world scale war, clearly she's confused. of course she's mad, she's in bad mood, suddenly her mother, the only person she tought she could lend a shoulder happened to does not gave a fuck... I understand what the MC girl's felt, it's just the people around her was pressuring her without giving her a time and consideration for her normal japanese girl mentality. |

Are you really judging someone whose father literally walked out in front of her when she was like 4 years old and that got her bullied for the entirety of her school career for prophesying about humanoid aliens? Someone whose then single mother ignored her for the rest of her current life so she could parent herself and her younger sister until she was 16? You're really going to say she's the one who fucked up here? Not the mom who just completely ignored everything about her daughter and instead defended that father and physically harmed her in the process? Really now? This is all of course after she has been forced to do battle against an unknown opponent with no training at all and no experience in combat? And as the WSO to someone who got his first WSO killed? And while her friends are dying? And while she's killing humans when she was told by everyone she was wrong for thinking the aliens were humans? Christ man, if that is your attitude about it, please don't have children >.< It's amazing Yukina hasn't had a fullscale meltdown yet at this point, Shinji style. |

I openly admitted that I felt she was actually a really believable character, far more than most due to her circumstances and how she acts on those circumstances? Doesn't stop it from being kind of cringy and hard to watch sometimes when there's no sign of stopping. |

sirflimflam said: Doesn't stop it from being kind of cringy and hard to watch sometimes when there's no sign of stopping. No sign of what stopping? The drama you mean? If it was to stop wouldn't that basically be the end of character development? Good drama along-side the mecha stomping and SoL parts is kind of part and parcel with the show. Or are you saying you want Yukina to grow a pair 'cause you're tired of her running? I have to assume she will at some point. Right now she's still dealing with her useless mother and being forced to grow up way faster than she's supposed to. |

| OMG! Advisor sensei too hot Mizugi!!! The two fodders were just missing not dead... I wanna gyoza also! 4/5. |
 |
| kind of disappointed, I was really hoping we'd find out that faggot kaya died. the other guy was kind of a pussy, but fuck I really cant stand faggots. and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch faggot ≠ gay |
| Great episode with several flashback on Yukina. I'm happy that his character is a little developed. The pool scene was funny ;) |
I usually dislike fanservice... come on, "free pool class today"... that's way too convenient for fanservice xD But I've got to admit Marina-dono was breath taking... ANYWAY... Yeah, it is totally understandable that Yukina doesn't want to be part of all that at all. Pretty normal I must say, that's how normally you would react. But we know that's gonna change. Good spot on that red alien soldier thing...the one that seems to have boobs...that's gotta be the princess. |

| Yukina's dad was trying to became friends with the demon. interesting imo. and we got scene INSIDE on the alien ship. and....another interesting scene from this episode. it felt generic somehow but i like it. Yukina's reaction after she saw someone just die in front of her was pretty natural. most people would react like that especially girl. so i kinda like how they made the characterization of Yukina. and on the other side, the dude was trying to do something about her but he can't force her to ride it. i wonder what will happen..... looking foward for the next episode. the comedy is still funny as usual especially the pool scene xD |
 |
| Episode from the "flavor family," I do not mind that there is focus on the feelings of the characters, even this point is important, but a bit of action would give what little bit extra. Not bad the script, which does not forget to give some news, just not to stop the march of history; given the robot, I had to imagine similar enemies, decked with armor, even if I seem a little strange, I always imagined aliens in a different way, and yet, they are not a girl from stereotypes. LOL I think the two things go hand in hand. I agree. P.S. Nothing bad excuse used to show the characters in bathing suits, although it is not new. |
