Lan was feeling more and more isolated with Muginami there. And now they're both in Madoka's class and living with her. xD

Something tells me there's some tension between Muginami's and Lan's "clans". I wonder what that's all about. In the end that third guy escaped too! I wonder who opened the cell door.

Gotta love using the cliche transfer student event but it works.

Poor Lan had such a hard time being a waitress, bumping her head with the customer and the wood pillar, dropping everything. I still like her nonetheless.

My reaction:

Indeed.

However, has anyone made the connection between Madoka's Uncle and the new "bad guy?"
Is it just me, or do they look exactly the same.
Just one with a chin strip and one with a stubble?
Perhaps they are brothers? There is still a lot we do not know about their family.
It sounds like Madoka's mother knew a thing or two about mechs. And did not want Madoka to be involved.

Finally I'm starting to enjoy this show and Madoka isn't acting so over the top with her happy-go-lucky-personality. This was a cute episode with Lan being cute and all.

Great episode

Muginami is a natural waitress, and Lan is a natural klutz. lol

I don't remember any mecha anime that can be so funny, cute, lightearted and entertaining as this.

So... does this count as the beach episode, then? ^^

Muginami is nice and interesting, even though I'm pretty much immune to her fan-service. And she brings out the best in Lan (if you don't count almost dying). Seriously, her jealousy against Muginami pushed her to a whole new level <3

So there's a third party now - even though it's only one guy - and apparently no one really knows what to make of Muginami yet. Things just got even more interesting.

So Lan is a klutz... WIN, I never thought it was going to end up like that, I thought Muginami would be the airhead lol anyways, seeing Jelly Lan was just way too cute, HNNGHHH'd quite a few times, specially when she kept hitting her head while waitressing (does that word exist?)

Also... "Wan" *HHNNNNNNGGGGHHHHH*

I'm so happy that we got to see the third main character of the show, Muginami. I have a theory that she's somehow against Lan...but I'm sure than Lan will persevere (or at least I hope so, I'm pretty much in love with Lan)

There's a full review of this episode on my anime review blog c:

I thought of this epi as weak. I don't like this sort of episodes and I hate transfer students motifs. xP Not too mention all was so fast with all 3 suddenly living together I guess...

Lan x Muginami rivalry was nice though and made me at least don't hate this episode. XD

Muginami got introduced in this episode! From this episode she was really interesting. I dunno why, but I was really entertained when she said "MUGINAMI DESU" a lot during her class intro.

Lan was pretty much my favorite during this episode. Her being jealous of Madoka and Mugi was adorable. She got so jealous that she enrolled in Mado's school and immediately joined the Jersey Club.

Great episode. A little break from the action world, but they'll probably continue the fight next week, now that the prisoner escaped. I agree about the Lan part. Thank god she's not THAT clumsy to trip on nothing. She was just nervous as she was doing that for the first time. So I don't know if she would really count as a clumsy type, but let her be that for now. The way she dropped the drinks was both cute and hilarious.

About the visual aspect, while I like the design, the episode actually was bad. They made errors on still pictures. It was all derpy. But yeah, one can't expect anime these days to be great visually.

Still a great episode.

Lan feeling jealousy and clumsy was so cute. She thought Muginami girl would rob her of Madoka's best friend and Comrade position. I guess, Madoka is the first friend for Lan. And seems she doesn't know how she should do against the serious problem.
Now, I expect Yuri cohabitation life of Madoka and Lan, plus one.

Oh Lan, so much jealousy, but don't worry, you have my support. I'm not really a fan of Muginami, but I guess she will spice up the interaction between the characters. Wan (5/5).

Maybe I was a little too harsh with this series. I really didn't like episodes two and three, but this one definitely made me laugh out loud. There's definitely a lot more under the surface of this show. But for now I'm just going to enjoy looking at Muginami.

It seems to me like that alien dude with his eyes closed is going to be revealed as the true antagonist, and the other three "villains" are trying to stop him. Maybe. We'll see, I guess.

That was... quite an interesting development. Now all three of them live together...

I'm not too fond of Muginami though, too much fanservice in one character if you ask me.

Looks like Madoka is building herself a harem. That waitress scene was great, the women all looked pissed off and annoyed. Madoka's uncle looks a little bit like that older guy on the spaceship.

If if Muginami didn't mean any (serious) harm to Lan, that was still a bitch move. "Don't tell me she can't swim!" Well no shit, she's clearly drowning and she wouldn't be in that situation if you didn't pull that stunt.

If I were to come up with a narrative justification for Lan's klutzyness, it's that her world spaceships had a slightly lower gravity, so she's not quite as familiar with moving in Earth's gravity.

Hokay...

So, not cultures in conflict, but internal conflict within one interstellar culture.
With at least three factions, possibly more.
1) The chaps who the Earth authorities are cooperating with; these appear to be the dominant faction.
2) The lads.
3) The chap who just showed up, who's clearly from a faction close enough in philosophy to think he can recruit the lads.
4) Whatever group Migunami is allied with, if any; too little is known so far to rule out her being a lone wolf, not allied to anyone else. Well, the same can be said of the chap who just arrived.

Clearly, something is wonky with the extraterrestrial's economy, that starships and Ovids are something that all of these have access to, unless the factions are actually either significantly large, or have individual backers with very deep pockets and their own tech support capability. Or maybe military elements (possibly Academy Cadets) gone rogue, taking their equipment with them; it's possible that star travel is sufficiently automated that a small crew can handle it, even if they don't have the personnel to deal with repairs if something get's badly broken; the lads look like that might be their situation.

And, the Voxes are indeed relics from the far past, which had been lost on Earth during a previous conflict.

Or so it seems at this time.

Now, as to why all the aliens appear human...
Given the premise that the previous conflict, the one which resulted in Earth's destruction as mentioned by the one lad in Ep 1, was an earlier culture of this species, my guess is that Earth was a colony planet of that culture, and thus... they aren't aliens when it comes to species, but only in regard to having an off-planet origin at this time.
Any bets that it was the previous conflict, where the Voxes were misplaced, that was the origin of The Legend?

It would certainly explain their attitude concerning the artifacts they are examining.
These aren't historians, archivists, archaeologists or whatever, but rather technologists, they aren't thinking of them as rare, possibly unique, artifacts in need of careful preservation, they are thinking of them as tech manuals in need of deciphering so that they can properly utilize the Voxes; once the information has been extracted and stored in modern media, they don't give a d*mn about the originals.
I've done the exact same thing myself; once I've transferred files from a 5.25 floppy to a 3.5 floppy, I ditched the old floppy, and did the same when shifting to CD-R/DVD/BD.

Tipping over someone's inflatable boat when you don't know whether or not they can swim... now that's no good. But it did result in a kiss scene.



Now who released Array from his cell?
