While this episode didn't have much of the usual mech and violence/action, we got a mix of fun comedy and drama.

About time they experienced a bit of joy with a birthday party. I mean, seriously, these guys went through so much shit that any event like that would cheer people up.

This was a nice little departure from the tense first 5 eps of the season. After all the depressing stuff with amou’s PTSD it’s cool to just have a fun birthday party episode. Gai, Kei and Nayuta got a really nice little celebration. Feels almost filler like, but a fun ep nonetheless.

Was that a filler episode up until the last few second?

They're very lucky that those AI are friendly, if they're evil AI they might even cause more damage than Ghost, considering that they can sneak around and digging personal information and use blackmail.

There is an imposter among us, when a surprise birthday party turned out to be some secret mission.
The last scene was very interesting though. Maybe, they will try to cease firing and beat North America together. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Love how the AI's hacked into that meeting so easily. Still Gai and his fellows really are cunning. But matched evenly by their human counterparts as well. But in the end the surprise was one that was heartfelt and one that did a great job rewarding them after all the hard work they put in to get them so far. The shared space was a great idea as well. That last part though was a nasty surprise though. But i wonder is a unified alliance focused on pushing the yanks out on the table or something. Overall this ep felt like a calm before a storm. Reforging their bonds before things get real.

well...that felt like a recap episode without the recap....

I noticed that the USNA or whatever they call the American faction was the only one absent from the rebel commander's video conference at the end.

The character cast took a departure this episode for a less tense atmosphere, with the AI base program anniversary-cum-birthday celebration disguised as a top-secret mission against the 3 AMAIM AIs.

It was really fun to watch Amou, Gashin, Shion, and the rest of Yatagarasu's crew involved in this special mission outwit Gai, Kei and Nayuta, though one definitely played the Among Us traitor part that got caught too easily to buy into their bribe. The pain's grueling to let the 3 AIs know, to the point that they shut themselves back into their mechs, and it took Amou's words to finally persuade them into the AI space to execute the surprise.

A filler episode this is one, but it's all heartfelt and good.

Great episode! The secret mission...AI BIRTHDAY PARTY!
It all turned out well in the end though at the start they thought it involved them being abandoned xD.
And that 'it's showtime' reminded me of Lenny from Takt Op Destiny!

Looking forward to the next episode!

100% skippable episode.
No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas.
Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End
nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites.
Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!

When Misuzu mentioned the anniversary I kinda figured out that they were planning a birthday party for the AIs. It's still a nice breather episode and I think the AIs deserved their reward after all their hard work assisting the pilots in battle.

That was a nice and fun breather episode. My favorite part of the episode was definitely them trying to convince the AIs lmao.

Very adorable birthday party. That meeting at the end is probably to talk about an alliance against the North Americans.

Unexpectedly there will be a birthday surprise episode. It's very funny, especially when Shion and Gashin try to win the hearts of Gai and the others.

The ending is a red herring. Come on guys, this isn't Gundam. This is AMAIM, an extremely sappy "real robot" anime. Nothing bad ever happens during the present, only in flashbacks. Given that the Americans were absent from the teleconference, it seems like the resistance and the other three powers are going to ally against them. No way he's actually betraying them (and if he does he's going to be forgiven anyway).

Was anyone else disturbed by Kei hitting on that guy? Nayuta is a harmless jokester but Kei seemed... genuine...
