THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Excellent episode! Once again they over went with the action and made it great. The kiss was the best shit in the manga and was not disappointing in this episode as follows,


but you got to ask yourself was it better than the manga as follows in the spoiler
Sadly the answer is the manga version was way better. It felt like it was a little too rushed that part but Shirayuki's part was good except again I think it was rushed and of course fuck the damn stupid censors of Aria but guess what you can still some of Aria's chest charms in the spoiler
yes you can see parts of it.
Heck yeah! Now the Fate is sealed. Riko got her hair cut and am damn glad about it!

In other news, the most awkward position close to disaster to land a plane as follows,

damn too long and it would have all fallen down into the sea.

Other than Riko gave some fan service to her fans with yellow underwear and bra in the spoiler
and is that a F-18 in the spoiler?
Now the biggest question is how the heck did Riko fire suddenly 2 missiles that hit the plane? Portable launchers are still huge in the AA department.More later but it was really good episode for me. I am happy.

Meganekko Spotted!! Good job J.C.STAFF. Just when she was introduced in the LN I'm reading (Vol.6). She gets her appearance in the first arc of Anime. J.C.STAFF seems to want to introduce characters as many as they can. Sayanaki has shown his face too.

Agreed. They kissed better in Manga than Anime, and better in LN than Manga. Kinji narrated its taste thoroughly.

And as you requested, this is some lines from Baka-Tsuki. The manga version you posted in the spoiler used almost exactly the same line from LN, but I think he left its taste out.
I like Kinji's narration everytime he enters Hysteria Mode. Looking forward to the next time.

It's F-15 Eagle from the Military of Defense.

There is a solid explanation, but of course, will spoil you.

It's official, School uniforms can be used as a parachute, Kinji making out with Aria for hysteria mode is pure class. Riko is so cute when she's batshit insane, not to mention the very end, Hotogi trashing Kinji and Aria's place yandere style.

I still think the manga was more classy in fact way more but at least the adaptation was not disappointing.

Oh please put the quote of that in here for people to have a triple comparing since I have both versions already it would contribute greatly my friend.

I'm not knowledgeable about aviation, but this series tends to stick with something retro. Take Colt Peacemaker as an example.

Holy shit at the lip description, now I want to kiss Aria, damn you Kinji for stealing that first one. Seriously when you imagine what was described, yeah you want to try those lips. I wonder if Taiga and Louise have them like that?

Lol no complaints on this ep. i though it went through nicely.

As I expected the best part was the kissing scene and when shirayuki came crashing in.

"Aria's lips, so akin to a cherry blossom, were so small, so soft...it was extremely clear to me. Her lips, which burned my lips on contact, were like a wild fire, and the heat engulfed my body in a moment."
Lol nice description kinji. =D

Useless censorship on Aria though...*sigh* But that kiss shocked me, seeing I never have read the manga. Shows Kinji is not one of those useless male leads.

Very nice episode, I now love both the characters of Kinji and Aria. I don't understand the censorship though, no reason to censor a bra. Also did not quite understand the "magic" behind miko's hair.

5/5, felt like it moved slowly, but overall the episode left me feeling very happy : )

I wonder if Aria finally knows about Kinji's Hysteria mode. If they're a couple, then he'll be able to go into that mode whenever he likes by just kissing her, like a boost, but then again, Kinji doesn't want to be a butei anymore, so it's confusing.

It was only a matter of time before Shirayuki found out about Kinji having Aria at his house.

Witch sub group did you watch? Because GG did kind of a Troll sub with it, and you can expect a v2 out in the future for that, and UTW is saying that this particular episode is a bit hard to translate. =/

Loved the episode! Too bad they cut out the scene of Kinji of being a bad ass when he learned how to land while listening to 11 officials at once and saw through the military's lies. Shirayuki's charge at the end was great and hope they'll show the rest next time. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the 2nd arc where I fell in love with Shirayuki.

It was GG. It almost looked like a straight transliteration rather than a full translation because the sentence order hadn't been rearranged to fit the normal English pattern. No problem understanding it in context, but it looked a little weird and I kept wanting to edit it on the fly. I'm probably going to want to watch it again after the Blueray comes out if only to see what was censored....

I hated the ending .... I wish the helicopter had kept going. Aria is so annoying. jumping out of a helicopter? really? she gets SHOT IN THE CHEST and somehow sticking a needle in her saves her? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. the annoying bitchy loli Aria is Sherlock Holmes? really? sigh....

Shirayuki and Riko are the only redeeming things right now. hysteria mode seems to not always activate in situations and wasn't very cool here.

So Shinji has to get on top of Aria to give her that medication? And she goes crying about how he unbuttoned her shirt, only to run around with it wide open like that.

Riko: "Ba~ka~"
*Cue Medusa hair*
Shinji: "Stop! What are you doing?"
(Making my hair swirl around, duh)
And Riko runs passed them and out the door? o.O
And did she really just turn her clothes into a parachute? I don't even...

The subs are absolutely hilarious, though.

The subs are absolutely hilarious, though.

Kinji: I hurriedly yanked the blood-stopping bandage out of the Butei toolkit, and applied it to the wound. However, the blood-stopping bandage only helps by forcing the blood inside using a special medical cream. It can only be used as a temporary measure.
Razzo-a compound of Epinephrine and Morphine. It acts as an adrenaline rush and anesthesia, a drug meant to bring a comrade back to life. I plunged the needle into her chest.
If I hesitate, it will fail. So all I could do is forcefully inject the drug into Aria's heart, without a second thought.
(I don't think it was mentioned in the novel that he actually sat on her. They left out all the blood. Hyper Aria was funny though.)

Kinji: I was still puzzling over how the plane always seemed to shake just when Riko needed it. Then I realized that Riko had hid a control device in her hair, and was using it to control the plane from afar.
(They mentioned it in the anime, but it flashed by pretty fast. It doesn't surprise me if some didn't catch it.)

Thoughts today. Riko is badass. No way around that. She completely outclasses every other character. She's got the brains. She's got the skill. I don't know why she needs magic hair, but why not? It's certainly a plus.

Kinji kind of confused me in this episode. He can't pilot the plane, but then he can land it. His advanced reasoning abilities seemed to take him in some odd places this time, allowing him to pull knowledge out of his ass that he shouldn't rightly have. Everything about his actions reeks of plot convenience.

The kiss scene seemed like it could have been sweet if it didn't feel so rapey. It was very forced, and no one really seemed to enjoy it. The fact that once he enters hysteria mode he becomes quite domineering didn't help at all. As a whole, the scene just didn't have the feel good vibes I'd want out of a kiss scene.

They did not handle Kinji rejoining Aria in a manner that was consistent with what we've seen of him. "I need to learn more about EU in order to discover the true story of my brother, and teaming up with Aria is the surest path of accomplishing that" would have made sense. Instead he just suddenly has a burning desire to be a butei with Aria once she's leaving creating the cliched scene of suddenly chasing the car/train/plane/helicopter after a change of heart without any of the revelations, character growth, etc required to make such a moment believable or touching.

As a whole I'm really gonna have to read the novel. This is starting to feel like one of those things where just a couple lines of narration would make everything fit together so much better.

Complaints aside, the episode was a whole lot of fun. Action's getting better. Looks like we're learning more about these EU guys and what the deal with the superpowers is. Aria is still Aria. I'll have to watch the dvd without the censors.

Shiroyuki continues to be prime gag fodder. Very funny. Looks like we're gonna see more Reki. That's awesome. Kinji's character is either degrading or developing, but I'm gonna be hopeful for development. As previously stated, Riko is badass. Might develop into a bit of a favorite, though that's not necessarily a good sign for the rest of the characters. The fact that I always route for Luthor speaks volumes about my feelings regarding superman lol. Still, luthor's enough to keep me interested in any superman story, and Riko could do the same.

The unique tech of the world continues to be fun and to create an ambiance that is very enjoyable. I'm having a lot of fun with this.

Wait a second, was he not guided by the other Buteis? Still you can't beat Kinji bad ass as follows,

they did this in Myth Busters with a Katana and it freaken worked. Seriously Kinji must have gotten some instructions somehow.

Kinji: "That's right, we're hoping that you can tell us how to land."
I asked Haneda,
"...this isn't something that an amateur can learn immediately...however, we're contacting other aircraft in the area. We're trying to find a pilot that's experienced with that model of aircraft."
"We don't have time. I want you to connect the frequencies of all the aircraft in the area. Can you do it?"
"Ah, I...can do it...but what are you going to do?"
"I want them to teach me how to land all at once. You can help too, Muto."
"...together? Kinji, you aren't Prince Shotoku you know...!"(able to listen to his 12 officials at once.)
"The me right now, can do it. Can you start immediately? We don't have any time left."
I knew that Aria was looking at me in amazement.
I turned my head to face Aria, who was just about to say something, and shot a glance at her, telling her to stay silent, and returned my gaze to the front.
Below the cloud layer--Over the black seas, and through the raging storm, I could see the lights of Greater Tokyo.
We were flying straight towards it.
I listened to the 11 voices at once, and immediately grasped the method of landing.

Lol. Yeah, she had a lot of great faces. She's just so sly ^^. The intermission was nice. Think I'll add it to my wallpaper rotation. Been trying to rebuild a good rotation since some computer difficulties a while ago.

Obviously I can't read the japanese in the manga, but it looks much nicer. Classier. Aria seems to get a little bit into it in the end.

The LN seems to step back towards this weird inconsensual utilitarian territory. If anything it makes it more clear that he just forced himself on her in order to create the hysteria mode necessary for survival. Quite understandable, but not exactly a feel good or sweet moment. Also seems to make it even more clear that neither party enjoyed this at all. If you touch her and she goes into some manner of living rigor mortis, that's not romantic, that's creepy as all hell. Kinji sounds like he's experiencing way more than he wants to in this passage. Like someone who took far too large a hit of their drug of choice and is now just scared waiting for it all to end.

I've read up to chapter eleven, which I'm pretty sure is all that has been translated. It's been a nice read, but it's still not the source material;)

Complaints aside, the episode was a whole lot of fun. Action's getting better. Looks like we're learning more about these EU guys and what the deal with the superpowers is. Aria is still Aria. I'll have to watch the dvd without the censors.
Yeah, for the ecchi extra. We all do but at least watch the BDs for better quality.

Oh, for sure. In fact, with my new rig I'm looking forward to that. I've never been able to handle BD quality before, some exceptional encodes notwithstanding.

Shiroyuki continues to be prime gag fodder. Very funny. Looks like we're gonna see more Reki. That's awesome. Kinji's character is either degrading or developing, but I'm gonna be hopeful for development. As previously stated, Riko is badass. Might develop into a bit of a favorite, though that's not necessarily a good sign for the rest of the characters. The fact that I always route for Luthor speaks volumes about my feelings regarding superman lol. Still, luthor's enough to keep me interested in any superman story, and Riko could do the same.
I did not know that taste of yours in superman. Shiroyuki shall bully Aria next episode pretty badly. More Reki is great! I so want to know who is that in the following spoiler
next episode.


That's a good catch. She does look pretty cool. I wonder what role she'll end up playing? Personally, I am wicked curious about this one. She seems to be some manner of crazy awesome hacker/computer whiz. Plus she was just dead serious through this all. There's no way she's not gonna be cool. I notice she's also got her own workspace separate from everyone else. Is she the leader of their computer division? Maybe just an elite allowed her own specialized equipment? Whatever the story is, seems worth seeing.

Good!

In other news, how Aria is bad ass in the spoiler
put it this way ricochet that takes a gun away from Riko and straight shot to take out he other one! Ha! That is amazing.


Oh, for sure. That entire scene was awesome. We got to see how much more Aria can accomplish when she has someone thinking for her. Aria was clearly playing the combat expert role here, which was great. I was worried after that first episode that Aria would be in a "I'm good, but not as good as him" situation whenever he goes hysteric, thus relegating her to the sidelines whenever he takes up combat. Kind of like Krillin through most of DBZ. God help him, he was the strongest human alive, but just couldn't keep up with all these darn space aliens lol.

They definitely both fell into their respective roles quite easily, and it was our first look at what a proper Kinji/Aria partnership looks like. Quite pleasing. Excelent teamwork. Both Kinji and Aria kicked ass in their own ways there.

We also finally got to see aria properly utilize her weapons arsenal. The way she used the guns from range to disarm and then moved in with the Katana at close was pro, and a nice change of pace after what we've seen so far. I wonder if Kinji had to tell her to do that lol.

Riko once again proves that she is the best character by stripping to make a parachute.

The EU must suck if two missiles can only destroy engines. Surely they could take out the wings if they were adequate missiles; if not, just aim them both at 1 wing and watch them die, seriously. The EU sucks.

Oh yeah, that felt good. Seeing Riko shoot Aria, all over again.
Well. That was an effective way to get her to shut up. I don't approve though.
No, don't cut Riko's fabulous hair D: Oh, it still works. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌
Except for too little Riko, suddenly, moar Shirayuki ヽ(´Д`ヽ)
Now, all that's needed is less Aria, and this might be good.

On another note, oh how I love gg's subs for this.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

It's worse than that. They really were a present for Kinji, but they went off prematurely and blew up the engines. Egg all over EU's face here.

Dunno if this episode was terrible or not. It's hard to take this show seriously with those subs. And yet those subs makes it a bit enjoyable what?.
Oh well.

Am I the only noticed that when the guy at the school talking to kinji on the phone about the plane landing, that he said he had about 10 mins or so left right. How did he get to the island that fast to put up lights on the run way and be on a boat. Am i missing something here or am i thinking too much. I mean after all, its an anime. xD

Really? I though it was set-up because in the spoiler
you can see the way it hit it was like some camera controlled maverick which you can learn all about here or some infra red. I think it's a set-up somehow to make things more difficult for them.

On the other hand I have analysed in the spoiler
that the F-15 has 4 120AIM of which you can check here for more info and 2 standard AIM-9 short range missiles whom more info here. Pretty interesting stuff of detail military value.

Am I the only who think that the series is getting more and more dumb?

Riko uses her strange hair for some combat action, then uses her uniform as parachute.
The EU ist firing missiles to destroy the plane? The EU? WTF?
Aria is related to Sherlock Holmes? *Of course, what else....*
At the end, the way too often used scene: "You have a girl with you? I won't forgive you. *slash* ".

I gave 8/10 for the first episode, but now it's getting worse and worse. If it continues like this, it will be a 4/10-score. I feel pity for the series. ^^

That... that was an attempt at humor. I wasn't seriously suggesting that they meant to give him a pair of missiles in gift wrapping but accidentally set them off before he could receive them. Missiles are a terrible present. They don't suggest goodwill at all. They suggest explosions X_X

There was some pretty clear hostility in all the events that perspired here lol.

The subs were so annoying to read, but overall was a good episode.

If you don't remember something, it never happened. If you aren't remembered, you never existed. <3

Thoughts today. Riko is badass. No way around that. She completely outclasses every other character. She's got the brains. She's got the skill. I don't know why she needs magic hair, but why not? It's certainly a plus.
She's got some pitiful past too, it makes more love. And that past will be related to her hair.

Yes, all of your ??? will be answered once you read the LN. This episode skips too much, especially Kinji's awesomeness.

Not so important to use Spoiler tag. That's Tsuzuri, Dagula depeartment master, interrogating Shirayuki.

The reason is simply because they cannot kill Aria or Kinji, but they have to stop them from pursuing Riko.
