THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I thought this episode was alright, seems business is picking up again after the previous lighthearted episodes. A preparation for fighting and the squad getting into the action again on the battlefield.

Plus, the group battles a particular powerful klaxosaur. Seems they struggle quite a bit in this fight too with how powerful it is. Goro's quite a brave guy for his actions tbh and impressed me with his actions. Looks like there's some drama between Ichigo and Miku this week.

Speaking of Ichigo, it's kinda nice to see a little bit more of her past again along with Goro. The confession :o
Maybe we'll get to see Ichigo respond back in the future.

While Goro is my favorite character, this show is read spinning it's wheels right now.It retreading over similar themes and hasn't produced any compelling overarching narratives.

This one got me, along with the title. I was expecting something bad for either Ichigo or Goro (more so Goro) but we did at least have focus on them as shown in the preview, and tbh that's a good thing. I like the Zero/Hiro dynamic, but if the focus was always on them it wouldn't be as enjoyable due to oversaturation. Over the past few episodes Ichigo's had almost equal protagonist levels of focus and adding Goro drama makes it more than just a triangle with her on the lesser side. It feels like we have three protags now, rather than two plus generic childhood friend. I hope they continue to develop the whole of the squad 13 group, the set up work has been done for all of them, so no reason for it not to happen.

Another good development overall, for those who prefer characters and drama along with their action

I was hoping he would have come up with a name and that was her gift. Anyway yeah I am sure he meant well and I think 02 appreciated the hug more than anything. It's just a way to express that sentiments are more important than material stuff in a relationship. The mirror is sure to spark insecurity but I feel Hiro will calm her down.

He did it because he considers her a normal girl in his eyes, and a normal girl would probably apprecaite a mirror as a gift. The reason why it might make 02 sad is because she doesn't know how Hiro doesn't give a damn about her being part Klaxo.
In ep 8 on the roof, 02 wanted hiro's opinion if she seemed more human in the quarrels.
So now she does not have a clear idea of what he thinks of her, about the fact that she is a monster ... So now she's in crisis, I hope that hiro will notice this thing and console her ..
Only that hiro in ep8 had said he wants to know more ...
This shows, she is insecure
So i'm happy she's really in love then hiro!

Nice episode.

I'm glad that Goro was able to come through and accept that he loves Ichigo. I definitely like him more than the other guys so I'm glad to see he got some focus this episode.

Miku sure laid it on Ichigo about how Goro always looks out for her. xD

The final scene where Goro confessed was good, Ichigo though flustered probably doesn't seem him in the same light but it was still a really sweet scene. :P

It seems this anime is about relationship only. Probably the correct tags are Drama and Romance with Mecha.

Maybe there will be a side story about Papa and Co. to move the plot forward, but it won't be what the anime will focus.

If you are waiting for adventure, politics, shounen action and other things related... Too bad. As someone who likes Drama and Slice of Life, I don't mind.

The question is if this won't become dull fast. If we get every side couple having one episode, it will be 3 more episodes on this.

I feel as if there is something wrong going on with ‘papa’ and the adults of the series. I somewhat noticed in last episode when they were discussing the deserted city and wondered why it had to be abandoned and there was no real reasoning and came off shady. Along with that, the council being masked is just a red flag to me of improper power. The fact that they also have the children give their lives and seal them away is shady, but doctor franxx seems to be trying to enlighten them without alerting papa, such as with giving them the beach vacation next to the deserted city as if he knew they would find it and start to question everything. Along with that, When they realized they were all going through puberty he told nana and hachi to leave them be and to “not tell papa.” It seems like he came up with the robots for good, but the program has developed into dehumanizing children who never live to even be adults. It also seems that zero two has some understanding of this as in this episode when the letter was being read aloud you saw no enjoyment on her face. I didn’t know there was a manga until just recently but I’ve only been watching the anime up to this point.

Still love the shit out of this show, but would be nice if we could have some more lore about the background of klaxosaur instead of having more relationship struggles

But the Mecha scenes does indeed involve battles and Action, so the Action genre included as a Tag is a correct move. If it just involves strictly Romance without any battles, then it would be something like Gamers and Just Because.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

again, the happy ending was too much. building all this intensity to destroy the klaxosaur just in 5 seconds was really stupid

Can I ask a question? Why did this have to be a mecha and not a SOL series? I feel like I've basically been watching a high school teen drama. Would love to be proven wrong here.

Like last week it's another perfectly fine episode if you just ignore all the Sci-Fi Mecha Bullshit they throw at you and just take it as kids being kids.

Really like the show and character chemistry. But must say I like all other girls more then Ichigo. The best ones are zero two and Miku. Koko if you want cute caring girl.

But those who waits for action and everything. Will probably have to wait to after eps 12. Think the first cour will be character development, drama and finding there place. And the world building will be slow all the way to last eps.
but nice to get a confession know and not dragging on 10 eps.

We most likely wont get that in this anime. It is probably going to be mostly about Relationship Drama and the different pairings in the anime which sucks. For now the anime is kind of weak and I dont care much about the characters either because their background story did not have any kind of impact on me ...

My favorite episode yet. It didn't shove the over-sexualization in our faces and just let the characters be. Despite the conflict with Goro being trapped was quite contrived and easily solved, it brought about a leap in character progression for him. I actually respect him for being so chill about Ichigo liking Hiro... what a guy ;-;
I hope more episodes are like this in the future, just letting the characters be naturally so they can work through their own issues. This show's at it's best when it's not trying to be something it's incapable of being. More doesn't always equal better.

I guess when you are putting yourself on the line to defend the city the least you can ask for is presents. Hiro giving Zero a mirror that belonged to Naomi was nice though. So Goro had feelings for Ichigo since they were kids huh. Goro getting swallowed was unexpected but it allowed us to see the kind of reaction that Ichigo and Hiro would have when something unexpected happens. The operation to rescue Goro though was really impressive though as it was not only daring but also showed that degree of trust that has been formed between everyone. It was nice that Ichigo managed to make it in time though. An excellent episode as always and i loved the focus on Ichigo and Goro though.

i gotta agree on the background stuff, they could've developed the characters so profoundly by episode 9, yet it's really shallow and just small fragments of stories

but i do think there will be the bloody drop in the future, it just can't possibly continue like this 'till the very end. i refuse to believe that. ever since the introduction of that elite squad, i was just hoping them to show how messed up this world is, but it seems that it's not time yet

Another episode focusing more on the relationship between one of the pairs, this time Goro and Ichigo. I'm glad Goro got a chance to tell Ichigo how he feels. Hopefully we'll get to some more interesting stuff soon, as I want to learn more about some of the mysteries that have been foreshadowed in previous episodes (we'll probably get a few more episodes like this one before that happens).

I really liked the episode until Ichigo was able to save Goro. I like his character, but his death would cause a great emotional impact on the team. However, I think there are reasons to keep them all alive. And the kyoryus' attacks, always with skills that lead to the development of team relationships, may have something with the fact that this team is an experience.

I don't like Ichigo very much, btw.

I'm glad they made this kind of episode now instead of much later in the series where it may not find a good fitting into. I guess the staff wants to get over with the relationship stuff earlier because those kinds are really something that can help these kids survive the onslaught of klaxosaurs and hopefully avoid the fate of the squad that was there before them. Before everyone tries to bring up episode 8, keep in mind that's covering those personal stuff more broadly than for specific characters (though you can say that episode had a tad bit more focus on Zorome and Miku).
I'm not gonna be pessimistic as fuck like a handful of the people here in these comments, cause it's better to have these kinds of episodes earlier, imo, than try to dive headlong into the plot without any efficient siegeway or timeframe to insert some helpful world-building or character-building.

I'm guessing the whole point of calling this episode "Triangle Bomb" was to blow up the potential love triangle between Ichigo, Goro, and Hiro. Or at least, to resolve things. Not many shows flat out have characters confessing love and actually being able to resolve conflict -- many would prefer to just leave it suspended for a while. Good on Trigger/A1 for not doing that.

It's pretty clear that the klaxosaurs are getting way more intense than usual -- the fact that it wasn't a cut and dry victory leads me to believe that things are going to get hairy in the next few episodes. I would rather things get hairy when characters I actually care about are involved, rather than one-shot characters with no personality or development.

So, it was good.

they could've gone right away into the plot while showing the background of each character or pair of characters, it's just a matter of how you transition into it. but, well, they chose this path, i don't really mind since it's 25 episodes anyway, there's a lot of space to shape things up
